Art Time

Well, for those of you just tuning into my blog...I like to fancy myself as an artist and a writer. Now, I admit that most of my art is mediocre at best...on occasion I do get some things right. as proof, I thought I'd post some of my successes here for you to meander through...please let me know what you think. I mean it...no holds barred...the full truth of your thoughts.


This is my only attempt at modern art :D

Pictures

well...seems I've been a little remiss...for those of you that feel cheated about reading of all that is in my life and want to put a face to the words...this post is for you. These images are a bit old..but they still reflect what I look like.

Little Surprises

Well...today was a nice day...it had its ups, I got my package from Moto World, and its downs, my bike is still not ready.

The upside is that when my bike is ready I will be able to wear my new leather jacket, leather gloves, and helmet when I go pick it up. :D


Aside from that, it is just like normal. Nothing to really report. My divorce is still pending, and I am still miserable.

Last night I went to a bar with a friend of mine. He is ending an 18 month relationship...and he was a little bummed about it. As it turns out, everyone that we met was also having an end to their long-term relationships. There was even a lady that seemed to be going through everything that I was. WHere my wife wanted to call it off, her husband did too...all for the same reasons.

Heh...some things just seem to be there to make people wonder.

Life is changing too fast to keep a hold of...

So...This weekend was good and bad...

I found out on Friday that my Uncle Don died last Thursday night.

Evidentially his spleen quit working about a month or two prior...and instead of going in to see a doctor about the pain that he was having in his stomach area...he ignored it. So, Thursday night rolls around...his temperature is about 103 degrees Fahrenheit...and he can't seem to warm up. His wife decides to take him to the hospital...And he dies later from a bacterial infection of the spleen.

Friday: after I found that out...I went to archery practice...shot infrequently...socialized...drove to a restaurant to celebrate a friend's new job. A job that I helped him to get and it was a very happy moment. After that, I went out to my friend's ranch...yes it was the same friend. Drank a fifth of whiskey in an hour. Chased it with a Fat Tire Beer and a Smirnoff Vodaka Sour Grape Twister and abruptly passed out in the back yard. I managed to rouse myself a couple hours later in order to stumble inside and crash on the couch.

Saturday: I woke up...was given biscuits and gravy and bacon...drove my new motorcycle to the shop for a tune up (I won't get her back until Wednesday or Thursday) and I was taken out to a different ranch to help with the fences and to ride horses. After that I went to a BBQ and passed out on the couch after everyone else was asleep.

Sunday: Woke up...Went to breakfast...Came to work...That about covers it.


And that was my weekend...How about the rest of you?...I wanto to hear about your weekends...

In other news...

I also have a new motorcycle...well it isn't new...but it is new to me...so yeah...here are some pics:

I'm Going Through Changes

Well, where to begin...

A lot has happened since I started this account...and most recently I have gone through my own forms of ups and downs...

I managed to finish my degree...finally...so now I have a BBA in Business management...and my best friend and his wife just moved in at the beginning of July. One of my other real good friends even got married...so why am I a morose person...

I think it all ties tot he fact that my wife, we've been married for 5 years, has decided that she wants a divorce. She popped the big D statement very abruptly...and to be honest it took me by surprise, but what can one do. We have been discussing this since about the middle of the month and well...I think it is for the best.

I mainly think this because the only answer that she can really give me is taht she isn't happy. If I am unable to make someone happy after 5 years...well, it must not have been meant to be.

Now before I get any sort of feedback saying things like: "you deserve to know" or "That's lame, why don't you find out by snooping"...I just want to warn you...I don't want to. I know that I could go to her livejournal and get a great insight to exactly what is going on in her head...I might even be able to find out more in her myspace account...but I refuse to. If she doesn't want to tell me...then so be it.

Many people may come across this journal and think that I am being unreasonable or naive...but I don't think so. You see, i love her...more than I have ever loved anyone else...and I want to remember her as the woman that I have loved for so long now...the confused, energetic, beautiful and fun lady of my dreams...I think this image would be shattered if she has posted anything more in her journals and not told me about it. I just don't want that. For once in my life I want someone to be honest and not two-faced...I don't think that it is too much to ask...not of her...or anyone...especially not of myself.
