i've gotten my driver's license back. i'm driving a tight little benz. i own and operate an ebay store. women like me. i've lost a couple of pounds in the last few days. the weather is sunny and warm. i don't have to wake up at the butt crack of dawn to slave my life away.

can't complain.

Anyhow, yeah, after I left Dunham's and rolled out of Hanover, I went in to get my last check and my buddy who's also the assistant manager of the store tells me that my promotion and raise came through, and that the brass is just slow. It was little late though considering I'd already moved again. I totally miss getting to play with the guns everyday though. Maybe someday I'll open a gun shop..

I'm doing ok though, I invested in myself and my ideas. I've worked with alot of companies and people, and I've learned some valuable lessons throughout the years. I started an eBay store and sold almost every single item I ever put up on there. I'm in the active process of expanding my business now that round 1 was so successful. It's kind of silly in a way, but I'm going to keep it up since my new venture is saving me a ton of money on overhead and making it so I can wake up when I want, leave town when I feel like it, and have time to enjoy things. I still do computer and networking jobs now and then, but it's on the side like it pretty much has been since I moved on from working hourly for other companies doing the same thing.

I'm about to get my new ride soon once I get everything taken care of and it comes home with me. I don't want to spoil the shock value of what kind of vehicle I have pulled off getting.. NOT! It's a freaking Benz 200 series luxury sports car! I'm playing the waiting game right now though since it's still at the shop and I need to handle a couple of other details (paperwork and junk), but yeah, I'm so ready to go. It's kind of awesome considering that a few years ago I had a 190e Benz that I loved so much but had to sell it because I was so freakin' broke that I could barely afford to pay attention!

You know, the last few years were pretty rocky for me considering how I had lost my license and had some major family and relationship issues, but I've recovered and I'm leaving all of the shit behind me. Face it, things definitely couldn't stay the way that they were, hahaha. I'd like to thank all of my friends who still kicked it with me when I was down and out. As for the people who kicked me while I was down, don't think I forgot.

i just wanted to replace the old journal where i mentioned something about someone i cared about. i don't care for her anymore and would be glad if she had her face kicked in by a horse, honestly. i think that would be fitting. if i ever do get married, it definitely won't be to a mentally defective psychopathic slutbag.

anyhow, i only have about a handful of friends on DA here. i have myspace and my email address is the same as it's been for like 10 years+ sooooo

ttyl!

Well, it's been about a year now. I guess that's my natural time frame to recover from relationship trauma. I suppose there's no sense in ranting about this anymore; I need to accept that no matter how hard that I try sometimes, I just can't save everyone.

So, I finally get my driver's license back after all of this time this week. I'm about as excited as I can be (which isn't saying much considering how jaded I've become, for instance one time I'd won $1500 at the racetrack and I was like whatever since money didn't mean much as I was shipping back off to return to the Army to possibly be killed the next morning.) I've gotten my life together alot since last year as well, and now that my dad has a nice place to live, and a home base for us, I'm contemplating and wondering what adventures are in store next. I'm leaning towards buying a motorcycle and riding off into the sunset or something, cowboy style, except modern-like.

These last few years have been the hardest of my life for many reasons, but I've survived, and today is the first day of the rest of my life.

right before this happened, i had stumbled onto some news, and as i was thinking up a course of action, the song "holy diver" resurfaced from my memories and makes even more sense now..

this chill seems to be like a sense maybe, like fear when you're in danger. it feels like a warning. when the sun is up, i feel protected, but the sun isn't in direct contact right now, and this feeling seems like a combination of fear and cold, and i know i'm being warned about a battle that i may soon partake in. like some sort of exorcist it feels like a priority to fight, but the cold icy feeling seems to be warning me that it's gonna hurt if i take a single shot this time.. i feel like this icy feeling itself is a sign that i'm about to be in a battle again soon..

southern winds please rise in the night and help dispell this ghostly chill until the sunrise to cast warmth to us all.

i ask myself why, and instantly i know..

i'm going to take a warm/hot shower to help knock this chill off.

it's been over a year since we broke up, and almost a year since we've talked. whenever i think of you i feel upset- no matter where i go your memory haunts me. i ran hundreds of miles away to no avail.

i guess i need someone to love me again and unbreak my heart just like you did. everyday i die little by little.

now i'm the one needing rescued.

i left charles town to go find a new life since me and katie didnt work things out. i moved to hanover and have been working at xxxxxx'x as the "gun guy". i have set sales records selling assault rifles and our store went from looking like it was going to close to being the top in sales for the region. i met lots of girls but dont have a gf yet. ive been here for three months now. some bold management people from t-mobile approached me at work and offered me almost twice what im making right now and im seriously considering the offer. guess all the places ive worked at gave me the experience and i've become a sales master apparently, and i dont even have to be shady about it.

so that's pretty much what's up with me lately. pretty boring, but it's better than dying of boredom in charles town.

Also, in a strange twist of fate, it seems that I’ve somewhat accidentally become a Ju-Jutsu Sensei. I’m not able to promote people in rank until I’ve attained a third degree black belt, but I am a master trainer and once a student of mine reaches a certain level of knowledge and skill, we can quest to visit my Sensei who is a Shihan (teacher of teachers) in Torakendo for examination and promotion within the American Kempo Karate Association’s regulations, which makes me a legitimate instructor. Guess it’s about time I gave a little back considering Ju-Justu saved my life several years ago and instilled in me the courage to stand against some evil motherfuckers throughout the years… gruesome. For those of you who don’t know what Torakendo Ju-Jutsu is, it’s not the same as commercialized Jujitsu like you may have seen on tv. “Ju-jutsu is the fighting art of the Samurai Warriors of ancient Japan. This was the unarmed combat fighting art the Samurai used in battle if they lost their weapon or were too close to the enemy to use their weapons effectively. Ju-jutsu consists of throws, takedowns, joint locking, joint manipulation, off balancing techniques, as well as nerve strikes and pressure point techniques and ground fighting. It is a highly effective Combat Art and grappling method and an excellent choice for those interested in a good form of self-defense.” Traditionally Toraken style Ju-Justu had not been taught to anyone unless they already achieved a black belt in Kempo. Exceptions have been made, but as it stands, there are only about 10 or so living experts of this system… Let’s get hot.

Anyhow, looks like I’ve turned the page, but I don’t forget where I came from… and the pain… But I’m still standing.

i really don't ask for much, but i'm tired of getting shortchanged with certain things. treat me right or i'll reflect the shit right back at you.

well since this is a journal.. work is good. hard, but good. need the $. my ex gf alisha apologized to me and we've talked a couple of times on myspace. we're friends again and kinda like electronic pen pals now. rent is cheap in the city i live in now, and i'm planning to get a motorcycle before long. sucks that i couldnt get one before summer started, but whatever.

..i'm like a werewolf too. i've been pretty harsh.. and i'm sorry. i know i could have handled things better, but i was too busy being upset because i guess sometimes i wanted everything to be perfect like in a fairy tale.. i've missed you, bun. i stuck around for a reason. you're significant to me.

--------------later on-------------

the peruvian restraunt in martinsburg (the chicken palace) now has free wi-fi for their customers! hey, whatever, i'm proud to hook 'em up. i have a networking job in shepherdstown in the morning, and an interview at a company called docutech in martinsburg after lunch. i got more info about that gig. basically ive been offered a position converting database information into media for clients. guess what that means is i'll be walking into a position that's beyond entry level, and will be paid contractually. i'm guessing i could do the conversions in one day a week, and get paid the same as if i worked a week waiting tables or something AND i can still freelance the rest of the time. i need money anyway, i've been so broke i can barely afford to pay attention sometimes.

-----some thoughts------

i've been wanting to go for a nature walk, but without my guide, it's not the same. what will become of me? i feel unsatisfied and incomplete. what am i supposed to do? will you come back and help me sort everything out?

apple of my eye, i want to fix it, no matter what it takes. not a day goes by that i don't reach for you..somehow.
