Chronicles of My Life

Some weeks are better than others...

And this one's certainly sucked big time!   There's little point in me sitting here whining about it and there's very little constructive good that this blog entry can make, but just as a general update of my life...   Things didn't work out with the new old boyfriend. We broke up tonight. It was a nice break up I suppose. I mean we were both primarily concerned with not hurting each other, it was mostly mutual, and we're probably going to remain friends. Perhaps one day I'll write a b

Fog Horns

San Francisco.   Where to begin? I could do the whole play by play rundown of events according to Steve, but instead I'm going to hop to the parts that ment something to me. This brings us to the end. Oh don't get me wrong the whole weekend was a blast, even if Castro turned out to be less then impressive. It's been a long time since I have laughed so much, and felt so comfortable in the company that surrounded me.   Anyhow, the thing I probably enjoyed the most during the weekend was the wa

This is getting ridiculous

So one of my friends from work asked me if I knew this guy, and I told her I had. She thought that we would make the cutest couple. I told her I actually had a huge crush on him last year. What did she do? She went to him and told him that someone thought he was cute. He asked who, and when she told him, she said that he flipped out. He had no idea, but he thought I was cute and didn't think anything was ever going to happen there. So she told me today that this happened, and told me that

Getting it done

Yesterday, I had some time before I had to deliver a load of empty boxes to the pumpkin seed place in Fresno so I was able to finish my winter anthology story. I've decided the title will be "Walkabout" because that's basically what this story is about, at least in the beginning. The village where the story begins has a tradition of allowing boys who reach the age of 16 to go on a one or two year walkabout too see other places on the planet and decide if they want to come back to the village and

So, yeah... San Francisco.   Steve, Rich, and I got there Friday morning and took some crazy underwater subway from Oakland to San Francisco and then stopped at the Visitor's Center that my brother who used to live there for ten years told us to stop at to get free maps and stuff, only to be assaulted by two different homeless people, who will from here on out be known as the interesting people and that area, the interesting area, likely because I had some giant map unfolded looking for the 'y

FAIL

Everything I do or try to achieve, I fail miserably at. Why?   What's so wrong with me?   Is it my personality?   Am I just not good looking enough?   Am I an asshole and don't know it?   Am I stupid?   I'm just not comprehending why every time I find a boy I like they want nothing to do with me. Another thing, why do they always let me get my hopes up first? Why not just go ahead and tell me that I stand a snowball's chance in Hell? WHY? What is the reasoning behind all o

Remember , remember the 5th of November...

Remember, remember the fifth of November, The gunpowder, treason and plot, I know of no reason Why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot.     People shouldn't fear their Goverenments. Goverenments should fear their people.   We are oft to blame in this, 'Tis too much proved - that with devotion's visage And pious action we do sugar o'er The devil himself.   I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none.   Beneath this mask there is more than flesh.

San Francisco Recap

Well, I made it back from San Francisco safe and sound late last night, and was back to work bright and early this morning. First of all, the business part of the trip was a big success, and although I worked long hours the whole time, it was well worth it. The hotel we stayed at was VERY nice, and I met lots of cool people in the industry. I also got to do some interpreting, as there were some representatives from Chinese companies there, and it worked out well since they didn't speak English v

Doctors visit

Okay... so this lump of... whatever the hell it is... it seems to grow and recede and is most prominent when I'm aroused. Guess what I'm NOT when in an office with an 80 year old asian doctor I can barely understand? I could still find the lump, but it was so small the doctor couldn't... an no matter how much he rolled my balls around in his hand or played with my shaft, my arousal level was not budging and the lump was gonna hide indefinitely.   So... doctor couldn't find it to diagnose it a

Time flies (plus bonus image)

Short entry today.   Three years ago, I was trying to write my second novella. The first had been demanding as hell, and I never did complete the follow-up. I have since written a second novella, however.   Two years ago, I was trying to figure out why a boy from work had let a third boy, who we'd all assumed was gay and had found many reasons to talk to me in the few weeks since I'd been hired, believe we were a couple. This is a question that has yet to be answered to my satisfacti

Cancer

When I was sixteen, my Grandfather died of cancer to the lungs, liver, and kidneys. On Friday I found out my mom has skin cancer and is undergoing treatment. That night, I realized I have a lump on my right testicle... non painful.   According to what I've been able to find out, there are five things which can cause a non-painful lump. 1) Varicocele - some kind of inflamation of the veins, which is supposed to feel like a bag of worms... which does not fit the description of what I have.

Don't have time for this

I have to be in Gresham, OR, around 10:00 this morning. I said I'd be there to drop this trailer.   Day before yesterday I did the Bay Area. Drove from Corning, CA, to Livermore to deliver some box making material. Then it was down to Oakland to finish the load. I had to sit for a bit before my dispatcher found a load for me. It was in Stockton.   I don't know if I have a load or if I'm taking the weekend off. A couple weeks ago I asked for the time off, but didn't hear if it was approved.

So it wasn't the latter

We talked it out, and basically it was decided that we should just be friends--at least for now. Yeah there are complications, but still, it kinda stung. The fact that we both have feelings for each other apparently means nothing. It's okay though, I can deal with it.   On brighter news, I got hit on at work a couple of weeks ago. The guy gave me a note that read "cute smile. call me." And I finally did. We went on our first date today... funny thing is he's not the guy I thought I was

Need a beta reader or three

Right, as I've threatened recently, I've another Ben and William short I'm working on. (Though does it still count as a short story if it's 9K+ words? I dunno)     Anyway, I've been trying to stretch some with this one and have a more deliberate structure and theme to the story. That's a good thing, I think, assuming I managed to do it, but it makes it tougher to tell; with a good adventure story you just have to make sure that the thumping happens in more or less the right order, the descrip

Shoot

So! Yesterday I got accepted to The University of Wisconsin Green Bay, and that is where I am going to go!! I am very excited. I am not sure what I am going to study yet... but I do know that I would like ot get a minor in Spanish. I think that I might get a major in Social Work, but I am really not sure yet, so for my first year I am going to go as undecided.   Now, i have lived all of my life in Green Bay. My best friend Anna is also going to UWGB. So, we are going to rent an apartment

Friday Can't Come Fast Enough

I can't wait until this Friday and I'll be in San Francisco! I really need to get away from all the shit going on in my life right now. And because I have nothing better to do right now, actually I do but I'm going to procrastinate like always, I'm going to take this time to bitch. Yes, another bitching blog. Are they getting old yet? Too bad.   Things to do before tomorrow: Do chapters 4 and 5 Accounting homework that are now late because I skipped class last Thursday, Write a 7 page English

Thank You

To all the guys I ever liked or went out with thank you.   Thank you for ignoring me. Thank you for using me. Thank you for all the pain you caused. Thank you for the lies.   But most importantly...   Thank you for everything you taught me, Thank you for teaching me how to be a better person, and thank you for showing me my wrongs so I can turn them into rights....   Thank you for showing me how to be ......

They might die

I worked on the Winter Anthology story today and got quite a bit done.   I think the two boys are going to die.   I don't want them to die, but the way the story is going it seems inevitable that they'll die.   I just haven't quite figure out how to go about setting it up because if they die both of them have to die at the same time. You know, that together in death thingy. It's such a cliche, but what to do otherwise.   Orignally, I planned on them being taken away to a paradise of sort

A Prayer for Codey

For those of you who don't know, Codey of Codey's World was taken to the hospital early Friday morning and is currently in the critical care unit. If you pray, please say a prayer for Codey. If not, at least keep him in your thoughts. I first joined Codey's World about a year ago, and Codey and Blue (Adblue) have always been good to me. _______________________________________________________________________________   In other news, I was making really great prgress on chapter eight of If By
