Theme Songs

The Reason – Hoobastank

This is the perfect song for my mom.  I sent the lyrics to her and it really describes how I feel and what kind of person I once was compared to who I am today.

i’m not a perfect person. there are many things i wish i didnt do
but i continue learning. i never meant to do those things to you.
and so i have to say before i go, that i just want you to know

i’ve found a reason for me, to change who i used to be
a reason to start over new, and the reason is you

i’m sorry that i hurt, its something i must live with everyday
and all the pain i put you through, i wish that i could take it all away
and be the one who catches all your tears, thats why i need you to hear

i’m not a perfect person, i never meant to do those things to you
and so i have to say before i go that i just want you to know

i’ve found a reason for me, to change who i used to be
a reason to start over new, and the reason is you
i’ve found a reason to show a side of me you didnt know
a reason for all that i do, and the reason is you

Day To Day

Everything Is Coming Together!

I see myself doing everything in ways that seem to be falling into place just right, and I sometimes have a hard time believing that it is all happening so well. The closer I get to my goal, the more fearful I get of making a wrong move. But that does not seem to be happening and I seem to be making some great moves. I wish I was not going to be so busy this last week. I was hoping that I would be able to relax a bit before the big move, but it does not look like it is going to happen. Oh well! Soon enough things will slow down. Right now I am in the home stretch. I can see my goal…I can taste my goal…very soon I will have the finish-line ribbon across my chest with my arms in the air as I reach my goal….see you in florida!

Day To Day

New Trailer Hitch

I just got back from buying a new trailer hitch, ball and locking pin. I bought a locking pin this time so that my stuff does not disappear again like it did before. One day, I noticed my hitch was gone. I guess someone decided they needed more than I did. Thieves suck!!! Now I am ready for the trailer (and more than ready to be out of here).

Adventures

Vegas Trip

I went to Vegas this past weekend to visit my best friend for the last time before I move to Florida. It was really nice to see her. It is too bad that the physical distance between us is going to increase even more. I remember when we both lived in Yuma, AZ and spent so much time together. We went through so much together during the early 1990s.


She took me for a little ride on the back of her motorcycle on Sunday. That was cool. I was her first passenger!!


Saturday we hung out at a nude resort all day. I got to sun my buns and relax. It was a very nice weekend.

Day To Day

Truncating

I sold my bed tonight after work and it is gone. People have been coming by here and there and getting stuff from me. Other stuff I have been putting on the patio for the garage sale. My life sure is getting seriously truncated.

Day To Day

Collections Of Stuff

In going through all of my stuff over the past few weeks, I have come across things that I have just been putting into specific piles as I find them. It is amazing how many business cards I have collected over the years that were thrown in so many different boxes that I keep finding as I go through the boxes. Undeveloped film is another of my collections (I now have 27 rolls). I have come across so many little pieces of paper with names and phone numbers on them. So many people that I have thought about in the past few weeks as I come across the slip of paper with a phone number. I suppose I should put them all in a phone book or something. I have a pretty big box of photos now that need to be put in my albums. I wish I had a dollar for every time my kids said that they cannot find a pencil to do their homework over the years. I have found so many pens, pencils, crayons, markers, etc. over the past few weeks and now I have a very full back pack of them. There were soooooo many magazines in boxes. Some magazines were mixed in with books. Others were mixed in with office stuff. Others were mixed in with my bedroom stuff. Now I have gotten rid of most of them except my Heavy Metal, Tank Girl, a select few Wired and Rolling Stone, and a few good Playboy (I don’t read the articles) and they all fit in one box. All important papers are filed in my file cabinet. This whole process has been a bit crazy but really cool. I am now down to a 5ftX12ftX10ft space for all of my stuff and that seems to be decreasing daily. I now have a pretty good pile of empty boxes on the patio. Kind of amazing since I have been a packrat my whole life and recently filling a 4 bedroom house with stuff. This is all pretty liberating.
