2004 - probably one of my worst years that I can remember.

Major personal problems
End of a relationship
House got flooded
Computer blew up
Cat was in the hospital twice
Just in a car accident
Huge financial concerns

Well, those are just a few of the problems I had.

Let's see what happens next. I can't take much more bad.

On a dofferent note,...

Wow...that sounds like me last year at this time.
2003 = WORST.YEAR.EVER. for me.

Even though walking away is not usually the best way to handle things as the problems will still be there when you get back and generally does not solve anything, it helped me.
It gave me a new perspective and put my head back on straight after spinning out of control from all the utter shit that kept happening.
So yeah, there are still problems, but I am able to face them so much better NOW than I could have without stepping away.
I was kinda drowning in problems, borderlining depression.

I know skipping town...or country for that matter, is not a reasonable solution for everyone, but maybe just getting away for a minute....hell, stay in a hotel or something... change your environment, just don't make yourself so available to your life.
Do something new...for you.
Be selfish, as long as it does not negatively affect anyone else.
Sorry... I will step off my soapbox now.

On another spin, things really can't get worse this year..can they?
Take care.

Well, Christmas is over and I never got a chance to make it home. All things considered, it wasn't that bad. Now I just have to focus on getting my Jeep fixed.

I think I might have to call a lawyer about the accident. I can't say that I am in a lot of pain, but I'm not right. My neck is stiff and my...

OK - So it couldn't get any worse, right?

I called today to try and get a rental car - no luck. It is the day before the holiday vacation season.

I figured I would try and drive my smashed Jeep home. It still runs. But, driving home home from work today the steering wheel turned to the left and now the Jeep is pulling...

Well, 2004 has been possibly the worst year ever.

I'm finishing it with today's car accident.

On my way to work this morning, I hit another car with my Jeep. I then spent a few hours at the doctors and now I'm home.

I'm taking tomorrow off to rest. My back and neck are a little sore. I'm just thankful that nobody was seriously hurt....

Thank you! I like your tattoos, too smile
Next year will be better. Sounds like it just couldnt get worse!

Thanks for the compliment on my tat, it really is my pride and joy. I would LOVE to see pics of yours when you get them up and online.

On the blonde thing, Ive dated one, she was positively psycho. eeek

Really though, Im wishing you a happy New Year, it sounds like you need it. From one major car accident survivor to another. wink

It is sooooo cold. robot

I don't mean to comlain. I always look forward to the winter. Hopefully I'll get to go skiing this year. It just came on so sudden.

The windshield washer on my Jeep had been frozen since it got cold. I really need to thaw it out. I can hardly see while I am driving. Probably not a smart thing.

Anyway, the...

Every once and a while . . .

I look at where I am today and where I want to be a year from now.

No too far off to be irrational. Just enough time to reflect on what I need do do.

But what is that?

My mind is pulling me in every direction.

My mind is tired.

I don't strive for fame or...

Comfortable is an honorable destination, one I strive for myself. It's heartening to see such a cute boy in the Pittsburgh area (and one who says that 'white cotton panties' get him hot). A happiness with the simpler things, I'd say. Thanks for the hello! Comments always bring a smile to my face, it lets me know people care enough to check out my profile. biggrin
mngddss:
p.s. WOW to the back tattoo! sweet

oh and...

p.p.s. All your favorite SG girls are brunettes, same as me. wink

Well, the puppy situation seems to be getting better. He is sleeping at night and only wakes me up to go out. I am crate training him so he stays in his little kennel at night. During the day, he stays there too but he really goes crazy when I am not there. He just has to get used to things.

The cat seems to...

damn I miss my pets SOOOOO much. Good on you for the crate...

I am not sure if you got that...but I actually DID leave Pittsburgh...I REALLY am in South Korea actually kinda doing what you do but it reverse? Yeah, ESL.
I needed a break shit was just too much and I lost myself in all the turmoil of my life at the time and left.
Now I am facing uncertainty again and I am not really ready for it. I am ready to settle, not in relationship or anything like that...just want to be stable for a minute instead of floundering...at least for longer than a few months.
Does this make sense?

I have not slept since last week! robot

My new puppy is driving me crazy. Don't get me wrong, I love the little guy, but I can't get any rest or work done. I am trying to crate train him so he doesn't pee in the house. If I put him in the crate, he goes crazy. Now I don't blame him for not wanting to...

I just checked out your journal and it seems all this advice (in the Kitties Group) was for naught. I read that you got a puppy and a hyper one at that. Maybe you should've gotten an older dog instead? Sounds like you can barely take the craziness. I'm sure your cat is going completely batshit, or did you find her another home? I hope it goes well, and I guess you had already made up your mind. Good luck with everything.

Wow!! What a past couple of days. I adopted a puppy from Animal Rescue League and my life has just been changed so much. I feel so much like a Dad right now. I haven't slept in 2 days and he is so needy.
I think I am going to name him Brody. He is a mix. Mom was a beagle and I don't know...

I've really been thinking about getting a dog but I haven't made up my mind. I have a cat and I just don't think she would tolerate another animal in the house. I would like to adopt and rescue a dog, but I'm worried about the outcome.

I've had some medical concerns recently but the doctors haven't been able to find anything. My right arm...
