Davey

THE DARKEST NIGHT By Davey I sat looking out the living room window, watching the rain slowly snake its way down the glass. Tonight was Halloween; I’d been invited to my friend’s party across the street. Christina, my friend, had excitedly told me that tonight was to be the night I would open myself up to people again, saying I’d shut myself off from the world for too long. I just silently agreed to save any argument. Two years had passed since

2006 Fall Anthology

I'm still alive I got told off by my doctor for not taking action earlier, it seems asthma attacks are an issue you shouldnt wait on.... well my blood oxygen levels are back to normal levels and my lung capacity has increased by 78% seriously when he told me that I was like huh? How was I still breathing? lol anyway Im alive and I got a neat aero chamber thing outta the deal

Do you ever feel that you're the only one to make contact? I'll use my mother as an example, I decided that I wanted to see how long it would take her to phone me, so I held off calling. Three weeks later she calls to tell me off for not keeping in touch. I ALWAYS make the call. It happens online too. Like with some friends if I don't bother to send the hi message it never gets done. I've left it with some contacts before for weeks and finally I get a message all pissed off asking why i'm not talking to them. As you can probably guess i'm in a bad mood lol Anyway this blog made very little sense, but I think I like that

Here in the UK when speed cameras were first installed it was all about safety. Since then we've moved along a little, now the police are using them to boost they're funding. We have the standard roadside versions along with the average speed ones on motorways but now we have these great moving ones that are hidden in vans. All they have to do is pick a layby, park up and start collecting the cash! They publish the locations online here, however they dont actually say which ones will be in service. I've also never heard what they do with the money collected, I would hope they spend it on accident prevention or something like that, however I doubt it. They probably have the best Christmas party ever! lol

Haha yeah, seems it's coming back to me... Hey.. you heard from Vance at all? Ive not seen him in like 6 months?

I should be sleeping... But I'm not UGH! back to work in 5 hours Thats all

So just for the record before you read/ watch this I'm not American. I may not agree fully with the war, but I have the up most respect for all the service personnel, regardless of the country they come from. I saw this and it touched my heart, I hope it does yours too. The way we get by As I'm in the UK, I don't get PBS programming, so the trailer and story are all i've seen, but its still pretty amazing I think. Enjoy.

We're moving again because of my Job, which sucks. I like living here, its a good place with good people that have been great with us. I've never heard a single negative comment about gays the entire time we've been here and that's pretty great I think. But sadly the time has come for me to move stores again and where I go Chris is sure to follow lol So we're back to not knowing how people will react. I hope that it'll be an easy transition again, but time will tell. --- My Dads a plumber, always has been ever since he started working. I never really thought about it but I've come to the conclusion that he was disappointed I never followed in his foot steps. The other day we were talking on the phone and he mentioned something about my brother in law going back into college as part of a plumbing apprenticeship he's doing with my Dad I don't remember what he was talking about but he followed it with something like, ' I'm so glad I'll have someone to pass the company over too, I was worried what would happen to it.' Ugh. My Dad rarely tries to guilt me (that's my Mothers game) but this time he was out full force. I of course didnt rise to the bait and just said, 'Yeah Im glad too Dad.' haha I could hear the hmph come out over the phone and had to stop myself laughing at him. I almost felt like telling him to go ask Mum how to guilt me, She's great at it. My Sister is moving back to Australia, She's waiting for the Immigration department to confirm their resident visas again and they'll be off. They own a house in south east Melbourne already from when they lived there before and have been renting it out since. The last renters left a few weeks ago so they're all set. I think i'll blog again soon and not wait months lol ttys David

Oh my..! I find that.... disturbing.

Hey, It's been a while since I last wrote anything in this. Mainly because I can never think of anything I want to say. I feel like I've lost touch with this site, that's all my fault I know, I guess I've just allowed myself to get distracted. I'll write this out and if I can be bothered I'll post it, if not meh well at least I'll have written SOMETHING for a change! I guess I should update on a few things. Chris is doing good. He's busy pretty much all the time but then so am I. We make time for each other everyday so we're still as strong as ever. When we moved here for my work it seemed a good idea. A new exciting challenge to explore, a new place with new people to meet. We'll it's been both those things and more. I think the hardest thing to deal with living here is traveling. In my old store when I had a meeting to attend I'd just jump in the car and drive there, then be home by dinner time. Now its a three day travel event. I've been away from home far too much and being seconded for three months earlier this year didn't help. Three months of hotel living with trips home only ever couple of weeks, I about went crazy! Thankfully Chris and Viv kept me semi sane with regular phone calls. My sister is still living in our old place, she's had a massive amount of shit to deal with this last year or so, they're paying the mortgage on the place just now but i think we'll maybe just let them buy out the rest of it If they want to. We don't need the place and it'd probably be good for them to have the security of their own place. Oh man so, I've been doing interviews for new staff at work this last week. I've gotta ask, what happened to all the normal sane people? It's retail, so I get that the starting rate really isn't all that great, but come on! I had this one woman in, I looked over her application and noticed that she'd failed high school math. So, I flagged this up as a discussion topic to see if she'd done any home study or anything to further herself. So we're in the office and I ask the question. ' I see from your application you failed to pass your highschool math course. Have you done any further study to improve on this?' her reply... 'No! But I can spell!' Huh? Did I ask if you could spell?! To make it worse my note taker 'K' snorted a laugh out at this point causing me to barely stop my self laughing at her. Im not asking for people that can do degree level math, however when they're handling cash I'm responsible for I'd like them to at least be able to count to ten! I interviewed four people and gave three of them Jobs, needless to say the woman above failed in her application. I kinda wish we could rewind time back to the days when I didn't need to worry what I wrote on the interview form, I doubt writing IDIOT! In the reason for rejection box would be appreciated by my head office. Meh, I'm bored now so i'll leave it at that. Love, kisses and all that shit, David

Much like Colin said, Chris and I are in love, its that simple, we're committed to each other in sickness and health. So regardless of circumstance we stay and work with it. I'm in this for life. Davey

Just saying, the hotel people give me that look.... 'why would you have an American calling you?!" love it and you!

Agreed! My most recent favorite has to be the 'I'm going back to sleep!' thread which somehow managed to gain a total of 40 replies! I'm sorry to say that this drivel posting has killed GA for me. Dave (p.s. Hi Vic! )
