  - Fun Stuff -

I found a really cool new place just down the street. I went out to explore and take some pictures at this little nature preserve over by the river. I wasn't expecting much, I figured it was probably just a little trail through the woods by the river or something, but I was very surprised. It goes along a little creek with big solid rock cliffs going up both sides, and to a big waterfall down one of the cliffs. The kind of place where you can go and just sit there all day and watch it and relax and think about stuff. It would have been much nicer if there weren't other people around, but I guess dusk on a Sunday night is a good time to hang out there. Anyways, I took a bunch of pictures, but I took my film camera, so if you want to see it you'll have to wait until I get them developed.  i posted this at 9:08 PM ---  3 people care enough to comment

  - I knew it would happen -

Friday night I went in for my first real night of work, and I was there for less than five minutes when my phone rang. I answered it, and of course it was Papa Johns seeing if I was still looking for a job. I applied there first because it was where I wanted to work, but they wait until I found another job to call me..... bastards. Not a big deal though, the store I'm working at is fine. It's not a very busy store, but that just means they have less drivers working. Saturday night it was just me and one other driver.... and I don't think we had any deliveries that took more than 40-45 minutes. And tips are pretty good, so I think I'll make enough money to get by. Well that's all for now.... I'm off today so I need to go grocery shopping, and maybe I'll go out and take some pictures somewhere.....  i posted this at 5:23 PM ---  0 people care enough to comment

  - I'm back..... -

...in the blogging world..... after a bit of a break.

So I suppose things are returning to relatively normal again. For a while there all I did was sit around watching Tv and try not to spend any money, since I didn't really have any. But tonight was my first day at work, delivering for Domino's again. All I did tonight though was ride around with one of the other drivers for a while and learn the area some. It looks like parts of the area are pretty shady, so I'll probably end up getting robbed before the summer's over. That should be fun. The manager and the other people I met seem nice enough, so I don't think it'll be a bad place to work. They were all standing around making fun of each other, and it seems like a pretty relaxed place to work. My Pa is finally home from the hospital, but last I heard he was still on oxygen so he can't get around a whole lot. But hopefully he'll be better soon. Him being in the hospital was reminding us all of where I was two years ago... not something I really like thinking about if I don't have to. I don't care to see the inside of a hospital again for a long time...

But my two year anniversary is coming up soon, which I think is kind of a big deal. When I first got back to Ohio and started going to AA meetings, it seemed like getting one year of sobriety was so far off that it would never happen. But here I am at two years and it doesn't really seem like it's been that difficult. I wish I could say that I don't really even think about it anymore, but that's not true. Little stuff all the time reminds me of my drinking days. And I suppose it's best to keep it stuck there in the back of my head and not forget what it was like.....

Well my dinner is ready, so I'm off to eat. Hope everyone is well and all that junk.  i posted this at 9:33 PM ---  2 people care enough to comment

  - What I Need -

I could really use a good rainy day right now.... not just a 15 minute storm in between periods of sunshine, but one of those rain-and-drizzle-all-day rainy days. I don't know why but it seems like that cheer me up a bit right now. The forecast for tomorrow is heavy thunderstorms, so I should get some rain, even it's not all day...

I watched the MLB's Home Run Derby tonight, and it was actually rather amusing. I think the best part was watching all the kayakers fighting over the balls that were hit out of the park and into the river (and there were quite a few). It's amazing how desperate people are to get a damn baseball....

Well I think I'll be off to bed now. Goodnight.  i posted this at 3:55 AM ---  2 people care enough to comment

  - I made a new friend..... -

The problem is he's just as boring as I am.... and he picks his nose a lot.....

  - I really need something to do...... -

So you may be wondering what I've been up to lately... and the answer is not much. I've filled out a couple applications for jobs, but no job yet. Admittedly I haven't been trying as hard as I could, but I wanted to wait and see if I got a call from any of the places I wanted to work before I go to the places I'm not so excited about working at....

So I've been spending my days not being able to sleep at night, and not wanting to get out of bed when I wake up.... and spending a lot of time looking at lots of cool pictures on Flickr and wishing I could afford a digital SLR.... and that's about it.

So tomorrow it's back out to fill out more applications, so I'll let you know when I find a job and finally get out of my apartment and do something.....  i posted this at 12:37 AM ---  1 people care enough to comment

  - Justice.... -

Whenever I'm driving on the highway and someone goes flying by me unnecessarily fast, I always think to myself that it would be great to see them pulled over a few miles down the road.... but I never seem to get my wish. But as I was driving back to Columbus today it finally happened. I was going 75 as usual, and got into the left lane to pass someone.... and in the thirty seconds that I was in the left lane this Pontiac Aztec (ugly-as SUV) comes flying up out of nowhere and gets right on my ass, and once I got back over in the right lane they went zooming by going about 95. A few miles later, they were on the side of the road with a highway patrolman writing them a ticket.... ha ha ha ha ha..... asshole....  i posted this at 8:54 PM ---  3 people care enough to comment
