Looks like Vegas may be the move, though they want me to open a bay area office for them. We're hashing out the salary package details now.
I'm a fucking capitalist pig after all. Shit.

Despite what "they" may desire, why should we be friends?

we thought about "the move to vegas", .... we could get three times the work, with twice the pay, but LV, is a negative energy vortex. it is cool, as far as being tourists, but we could never live there...
Another job offer today from San Francisco. Tough deciding where to move your family--things like tranferring to new school districts, finding a home, etc. become nearly overwhelming.
Cheese inside--that's funny. And touching.

We're so frustrated with current circumstances that we're gonna run away. Not a particularly healthy way to deal with things, I admit. Nevertheless, the grass may indeed be greener over there. I'm looking at different architectural firms in Paris, London, Prague, Tokyo, and Brisbane, as well as New York, Chicago, and San Francisco.

Funny how little things can make huge differences in what seems to be a shitstorm in your life.
I needed to get out of the house, so I decided to pull weeds in the garden. After I had cleaned a nice patch, I decided to go to the nursery to get some tomato, pepper, cilantro, etc. plants to make a salsa garden. I got so...

A week and a half has passed. I got my son's portrait tattooed on my left shoulder yesterday as a way to start the healing. Thanks to everyone who sent kind words and support.
I'll post pics of the tat when it properly heals.

At 12:45 this morning, my son passed away due to complications from pneumonia. He had a stroke last October and never fully recovered.
Many of you have sent kind words of support over the last few weeks, and I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated that.

Life is not about how long you live it or how much you do but about those moments that you never forget. Loss is the hardest thing to deal with and the only thing I have found that helps you move on is to embrace that there are those moments that you shared together. Some good, some bad, but always memorable. It is through the words of others and the memories that our loved ones continue on. The hardest thing that can ever happen is to lose a child, and no level of sympathy can remove the pain of such a thing. Life however beckons you to share moments with yourself and others... in their memory... and in those moments you can connect to that feeling of joy you shared with him together...and he will be with you again in that sense.

I'm sorry. I lost my daddy two years ago and it still kills me. I can't even imagine what it is like for you, and I'm so sorry. I don't even know what to say ... just my deepest condolences.

Back at the children's hospital. Fuck. Jonathan's got pneumonia--last time he had that he nearly died. How much does someone have to suffer? If there's a god, I fucking hate him--cruel fucker. But I don't belive there's a god, so who cares? But I love my child, and I don't want to lose him, but I don't want him to suffer, either.
Fuck.
Fuck.

i read your post in the atheist group the other day, and i have been thinking a lot about it. i did not know what to say and kept cutting what i had written, and leaving nothing behind.
so here is what i have to say: fuck. that totally sucks. i am sorry that your child is sick and have empathy for you both.
i do not know why some of us have to face thinking that someone would be better off dead, but it happens.
when i read your post i thought of the boomtown rats song that said "there are no reasons".

Now THIS is a hangover. We blew it up big last night--glad to have my son home from the hospital. Met some cool new people, and drank about 3 gallons of vody. I gotta have a screwdriver, a bath, and a nap.
Back from the children's hospital. My little guy is doing ok, just frustrated by the whole ordeal--but glad to be home. We're trying some new food for his feeding tube which we hope he'll tolerate better and bring up his electrolytes.
