The trick

Bananas

So they are green for a week and you sit around waiting and waiting

then while you are asleep at 2am they turn ripe

15 seconds later they turn brown and mushy

.....

Simile?  Nope

Metaphor...nope

just a cold hard fact

Bananas are evil.  It happens.  Evil is everywhere.

a part two to a part one that was never written

 

Okay people,

How about an update?

Does anyone realize the picture in my xanga is barely me.  My face is clean shaven and I have not had a goatee in years. My head is still shaved but there is a little more on the top and a little more around the waist.  The bracelet on my left wrist is gone.  I gave it away to a girl that was very sad to explain how to overcome the past.  In giving the bracelet away I gave away a piece of myself.  It used to get snagged on my shirts when I put them on.  I still sometimes brace for the snag...as if I am waiting for a glass to hit the ground.

Currently the wife is sick and is in bed early.  It leaves me sitting here watching tv I don't want to watch.  The dogs are bouncing around as if it is the middle of day.  I'm fine though.  Still stuck in a training that seems like a review of my past 2 years.

So from where i'm standing
i'm barely just moving

I had pizza for dinner. It's not the same feeling as a pizza hut one on those needed pizza hut days.

I have a new phone.  Something to organize my life a little more.

Take care,

and I know I need to find more people to read this
but for now it's nice that its just me (and britney)  :)

From where I'm standing...

Okay people,

how about an update?

I technically only have one reader.  Hi Brittany!  I need to get more friends to read this thing.  I miss blogging and commenting.  From where I'm standing this could be a journal that no one reads.  Is this what would be left behind if I died?  From where I'm standing, thats what it feels like.

Well though you accept a job, you don't get to work.  I might make the job mine, but first I have to sit in on trainings about a plethora of things.  From where I'm standing it seems like a rerun to my MSW.  Can we say "strenghts perspective"?

Some new things on the tv:  Dexter rocks as my all time favorite serial killer.  As long as he leaves Capn Crunch alone that is.

Some new things in mi vida:  I rarely speak spanish anymore.  What happened there?

Current favorite singer:  Schuyler Fisk (you tube her)

Life is still moving forward.  And this is just another evening I'm taking it easy because let's be honest, life just moves to quickly.  Close your eyes at 19 and wake up 29.  Bury a friend in the ground and never visit the grave again.  Bury a regret from years ago, and it comes back every night.

It's the floppy ears...

Okay people,

How about an update?

Castles are built in a new place.  Dreams are still the same nightmare. Faith is a cloud of many shapes.

Ben (basset hound #1) has been barking a lot today.  I'm begining to think he might have a serious mental illness.  Maybe he is seeing things that aren't there.  This afternoon he was in the bathroom brushing his teeth and humming a New Kids on the Block song.  That's weird...right?

Molly (basset hound #2) is doing very well.  She pounes a lot.  She waits until Ben goes to sleep and then attacks him.  tsk tsk...just like a woman. 

Today has been a nice quiet day.  Mostly I've just sat and reflexed.  My MSW (Masters in Social Work) is done and degree is posted.  CPS (Child Protective Services) has offered me a job and I've accepted.  I complete a new hire paperwork packet Thursday morning.  Yep...life is spinning that fast.  Which is why I like that today has been nice and slow.

AZ is okay.  Takes a little getting use to though.  Two years here and still Rib Crib has ignored my pleas of having them build on of thier restaurants here.  Two years here and I still don't like having to remember there are 5 different highways I can take to get somewhere.  OK just had the 40 and 35.  Heading east, take the 40, going south, get on the 35.  Here its so weird that technicaly 1-17 south is really WEST! 

The wife is doing great.  She has decided to know out an MBA when she is done with her Bachelors.  She also just got a promption at her job.  She's moving up.  :)  I'm proud of her.  Now if only she would shave her toes....  Sadly, we didn't get the weed wacker for a wedding present, that would definitely help with her hairy toes problem. 

So there is  a small update

one from me to you

one that has words to read
and one that has truth to believe

In my wisdom I can say that there is a lot of reasons not to 
and in my faults I can say there are a lot of reasons not to
but from my heart I say keep trying.

It's been a very long time

Okay people,

How about an update?

I know it's been a while since I have put words on this screen, but I guess sometimes life moves so fast that rarely do you get a moment to actually reflect on your choices in this life.

I'm married.

Yeah, that happened fast to.  Her name is Elizabeth.  She is a beautiful woman that captivates me.

I'm in grad school.

It took five years to get through my undergrad program, but in 11 months I will have a masters. 

I live in AZ...

Had to move to go to grad school. Had to move to get away from Oklahoma. Had to move to meet Elizabeth. 

So this was a small update.

Like I said, so much has happened that catching anyone up on the past year would be impossible.
