Just Stuff.

Most of this will mean nothing to any of you but I want to write and it’s my blog so deal with it.

Back in I’d say 2004 I was in and out of the deepest stages of my depression and one of the few ‘cures’ I had was online roleplaying, mainly on a site called RPOL. It was there that I met QueenmandiKat &...

Deep stuff. And yeah, anniversary day is just a day - you have every day you can make special. Sounds like you got a 'keeper' :)

You've had a long, tough road. I am happy you have a partner you love so much! And loves you in return. Sweet love stories turn me to mush. 

Well Shit

Best laid plans of mice and men.

The wife and I had planned to go out with a group of our friends next weekend (4/12) for our anniversary, and now a week before everyone has canceled for whatever reason. Everyone. Not a single person can come out with us, which means I took a high tip weekend off work (gonna cost me 3 days’ pay...

I don't know if I will ever look at Pizza the same way again, 2 nights ago I went to a charity event pizza competion. Over 50 different pizza places, everything from Chain joints to bars. Found a couple new place i am going to start ordering from, but god it won't be for a while, I think I tried atleast a piece from every...

Well to my great surprise the fight was (from what I could tell anyway) only available on fight pass up here. I was so confident it was going to be available on Canada's Sportsnet that I only realized this once the card started. Me seeing the fight live woulda meant driving out 40 minutes at a venue which olds ppv of events. Ah yes the joys of rural Canada...anywho! Yeah I mean for myself the big kicker  is Hendo getting the W. He's 43 but is he truly going to retire? You mentioned in one of your reports older pugilist not having a whole lot of coin for retirement; I would not be surprised to learn Hendo would be in that group & prompting him to prolong his career. Also the man is a pure fighter so it's hard to see him leave while he's still got some gas in the tank. The question is where next...Bellator would be too lucky to get him, he would definitely help that promotion. Asia I think would definitely be another very real possibility. I gotta hit up one of my friends that has fight pass & check out that card, totally missed out. Yeah that whole pizza affair sounds like work dude :) Hey you're a mentor now so that's good, take pride in that man it's a good thing. I have good memories of all people who have passed on knowledge to me in the various jobs I've done in my lifetime. You'll have no doubt left an impression on this person & helped another human being to put food on his table & better himself & his life quality so be proud. I'm sure it may be taxing but we've all needed someone's help at some point so good on ya for being there in helping someone out. Yeah I've been swamped with school & need to check out the mma for some welcomed diversion. Good post :)

Hey SG!

Between work, family, and looking for a house I haven’t had much time on here lately. Finally decided on my next tattoo (first again….I lost all mine a few years back to road rash) it may seem generic but I am going to get the Disturbed Believe symbol surrounded by ‘Universal Love, Universal Faith’.

Found out today that on Friday I get a...

Ok folks I apologize for going so long without a blog post or a MMA NoTD post, the night shift to day shift transition hit a lot harder than I expected.

Biggest plus (outside of seeing my daughter more) I got a raise finally!

Went out yesterday on my day off to the Marblehead Light House as well as East Harbor State Park and got...

Looking forward to your pics! Also, the MMA news... did I hear something about Diego Sanchez blaming his loss on a quail egg? I must have heard that wrong.

New Work Shift

Morning SG!

So today begins the first day shift for me. For 12 years, ever since I graduated high school I have worked almost exclusively 2nd shift (3-11). I was offered day shifts and a couple years ago I would not have accepted it, but now with having a daughter who I haven’t seen more than an hour a day on days I worked I...

@griffxx Eh it's all good, Skyrim got me out of my funk, and Emibot made me smile before I laid back down so outside of being a little short on sleep it's better.
teddykev:
Man sleep patterns are serious ass kickers, hope you get yours regulated ASAP my man :)

Depression

I had planned on writing this morning some of my normal kind of inane drivel an ramblings but @Blu ‘s blog got me thinking about depression. Now I am not a shrink, I have not gone to school for anything, these are my thoughts as someone who beat depression.

I began to suffer through depression somewhere around the age of 15, a lot of people...

Very real & intense, sharing your experience is a true gift to anyone who reads it. Good on ya man :)
ajp_archer:
Thanks folks, this is the first time I have ever really put this down in print. I have run it all over in my head so many times that putting it down and accutally being able to read it helped in and of it'self. Alot of it I just don't feel comfortable sharing with the people I see on a regular babsis (I.E. Co-workers).
