ladies, and gentlemen i proudly present to you Update Time.
ok, so most of you by now know how my days, and work schedule go. for those of you who don't please pay attention cause here it is as follows: wake-up, shower, drive 1 and 1/2 hours to work, work, drive 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours home, eat, sleep, repeat as many times necessary to complete a full work week. this in, and of itself doesn't allow me much of a social life. my weekends are usually spent recovering from my long work week.
yesterday however was different. presented with the opportunity to go hang out with a very special person, and not having to be here at work at my normal time (2am) i decided to leave right from here (work) yesterday afternoon, and drive down to go hang out with the awesomeness that is Morgan. we went, and took care of some things, and got some dinner then went to go pick up halfjack, and return to Morgan's to watch some weird Japanese horror / suspense film, that we stopped in the middle to watch the new season of South Park, and Drawn Together (very funny show by the way). as the hours were getting later in the evening i had to take my leave of Morgan, and halfjack in order to get some sleep, and drive back up here to work. all in all it was an awesome night
now i have been informed by
EinGlasWein that i have been "tagged" to do this 20 facts about you thing that is, and has been going around, so here goes:
1) unfortunately i still live at home.
2) unfortunately because i'm almost 28.
3) i utterly, and completely hate my father. not for what he has done to me over the years, but for what he has put my mother through throughout their marriage, and esp. the last 4 years by loosing, spending, drinking away all the money that they had saved up for eventual retirement (hence fact #1 is why i still live at home to help my mother recover, and repair their finances).
4) i very rarely drink alcohol anymore. growing up, and living with a drunk, and his drunk friends (all of whom gotten medical help except my father) has led me to be very cautious when drinking. my entire father's side of the family has / had alcohol problems.
5) on the same scale a lot of mother's side of the family has had drug problems.
6) there was a period some years ago where i did quite a bit of both, and having the genes that i mentioned above, and combined with a very very high tolerance for drugs, and alcohol doesn't lend itself to a favorable outcome. luckily i was able to get through all of that, and walk away from it without any problems.
7) i was never one of the popular kids, and was routinely picked-on, and made fun of until high school where i was able to separate myself from a lot of those people.
8) i tend to be a strongly independent person. growing up my father put me in a lot of situations where i had no choice but not be a child, but in fact think, and act as an adult. as i have said i utterly hate the man, but in a way without him being such a fucking asshole i never would have become the person that i am today.
9) i have been to so many funerals, and have seen so many people that i care about die that i feel that i have become immune to it emotionally.
10) my grandmother (my mother's mother) died right in front of me after my mother walked out of the room. she looked right at me before she passed. (a little background... as my grandmother was dying from cancer she wanted to remain at her home, so my mother, aunt, and her husband, and my two uncles along with my self helped to take care of her while she was dying. my mother took on most of the burden, and i still feel that my grandmother waited on purpose for my mother to walkout of her bedroom so that she wouldn't have to watch her die.)
11) i went to Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania for 1 year (2 semesters) back in 1996 / 1997 to study Secondary Education in Social Sciences. after that year i dropped out. while my grades were quite good, i knew that college wasn't for me. it's funny to think of it cause if i would have stayed i would probably be dead.
12) i work for an engineering firm as a consultant / inspector. i specialize in prestressed / precast concrete bridge construction.
13) before joining that firm that i am with now i worked for a precast concrete plant. thus i have 11 years on the job training, and experience. it's funny cause most of the people who work for my company have engineering degrees, but i still know more about my field then they do, but yet they get paid massively more cause they get to have two little letters next to their name "PE".
14) i was once involved in a BD/SM relationship with a couple, and their female sub. i consider myself to be a switch.
15) in late 2003 / early 2004 i came very very very close to moving to California to live with a friend of mine who wanted me to move out there to live with her. in the end i decided to remain here. i couldn't just leave my mother to deal with the burden that is my father, and the financial trouble that he caused.
16) i tend to be very shy until i get to know someone, or find that we share some common interests.
17) i love to play pool / billiards. i even ran a poolroom that belonged to a friend of mine for 2 years on the side. i can't play anymore without thinking of my pool idle, and close friend who died in Nov 2003. that doesn't mean that i don't enjoy playing. it just means that at some point while i'm playing i'll think of my friend.
18) i shoot, and collect firearms. some of you have been with me for this. i've had to sell all but two of my guns after my car died the other week to pay for my new car. this sunday i will be taking part in a Machine Gun competition.
19) this is, and has been my longest, and most revealing SG Journal entry ever. do not expect another one like this for the foreseeable future. (lol)
20) there are a few of you who i have gotten to know since i joined here in June of 2004. some of you i have gotten to know very well, and others i have just gotten to know a little bit. to all of you though, Thank you.
ps... just remember that you can't spell slaughter without laughter
(if you have any questions reguarding that statement just ask Morgan, and halfjack
)
