TimeGate was a couple of weeks ago. It is a small local convention for StarGate and Dr.Who/Torchwood

It's really a excuse for spiritchaser1 and myself to hold our yearly competition of who gets most drunk! She usualy wins.

Great day at Monsterbash. Heck of a way to spend my Birthday!

Surrounded by friends and classic hotrods and having the most awesome Girlfriend there with me =)

Today was a great day.

It's 10 min past Midnight. And thus its my birthday.

Do I feel excited? No. Do I feel sad? No.

What do I feel? That's a excellent question. I feel as if this past year has been a rollercoaster and a test.

Last year at this time I had what I felt to be almost a perfect life. I was married t the woman of my dreams, surrounded by all of my friends and loved ones. Life was great.

My how things changed so quickly.

So here I am now a year later, Divorced, recovering from heartbreak picking up the pieces and trying to put myself back together again. Hoping one day to be even a shadow of the man I once was. I have my good days and my really bad days. Thankfully the bad is few and far between.

BUT not all is darkness and sorrow...

I have made some incredible new friends, Especially my new roommate Allison without her and Sabrina I don't know that I would have made it through this.

Allison is the ONLY person that knows even a inkling of what I have gone through and I will always love her for that support and just helping me not go off the edge that I stood on that night.

And Sabrina started out as a awesome friend who was there for me as nothing more than a caring friend. She has been put in a tough position many times but has held her own opinion of things staying neutral.

Now she is my Girlfriend and she is a awesome one. =)

But here I sit 36 years old there are so many things i wanted to have by now. It saddens me that I have not accomplished some of them, and others I know could still be just around the corner.

Anyways....I didnt intend this to be a venting session I guess it just needed to flow out of my brain somewhere other than my private journal.

So HappyBirthday to me....

Remember why we have Freedom to go to the baseball games on Saturdays. To complain about our government to "Breath the air of the free..."

If you arent on Facebook or do not hve me friended on Facebook then you may not know about this!

Send me your email if you want to be invited. =P

California.......How you sadden me.

Hello journal, Long time no see.

Today was a the wedding for 4X4 and Spitty. It was a beautiful and sunny and oh my god hot day. I feel bad as some how all knowledge of the rehersal that was last night was removed from my brain. So of course I wasn't there. =(

BUT it all worked out, And aside from going blind reading the marriage ceremony from white pages in bright sunlight.

It was a fun and beautiful ceremony and the reception was great as it felt like a Dragon*Con staff meeting =)

BUt here I sit now relaxing on my couch with Sabrina and being pretty certain I got too much Sun as even after a nap and I am still just wiped out.

While it does not look as if we will make it to the highlander tonight for festivities as giana and I will be seeing SpamAlot tonight. There is a friend of mine who is in town who should be swinging by to check it out. So if you see this guy make him feel welcome! He is a fellow Convention geek and Photographer!

After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems; document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.

Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS ‘ pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers. By the way, UPS is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident.

I am exhausted.

So Sunday I got back out for some UrbanExploring as I had stopped for a while for personal reasons.

It felt good to be back out. Ended up in My old homeTown at a Textile Mill that I used to pass when i was younger when it was still In operation.

Mother Nature had not been kind to this site since it shut down in the early 90's.

On to the show.
