The rescue group calls her snowball but that's not really gonna fly with me.
Kristy and I met in August and it didn't take long for her new name to pop into my head. Kris smiled really big when I told her. August Moon, a beautiful name for a beautiful dog.
The Mid Cities rescue group emailed me randomly yesterday morning, saying they got my email address from the Pound Pals group whom I'd inquired with about adopting a blue female pitbull dog that was in foster. They gave them my email address in hopes I could help save snowball from being put to sleep at 11am by offering to foster her. I've never fostered before...really what the hell do I know? But look at that face, how could I say no? I haven't even met her yet and I'm in love. She was dropped off at my house a few minutes ago, and Kristy has been filling me in with all the details. I really hate being at work right now when I should be at home playing dad. My situation might not be ideal for fostering, but what the hell, a tough situation is better than a long dirt nap for this sweet girl.
Kristy and I have been going strong. I can't believe it really, for the most part I've not allowed myself to believe it causing me to act like a donkey and on a few occasions almost royally fuck everything up. My horoscope suggested that with the knight of swords as my current primary card, I cut to the point and sever old emotions attached with the past. Strangly I recieved a generic email from sara. It was easy to ask her to remove my name and email address, to never try to contact me again. Closure and less baggage for me to carry forth. Kristy has proven to be patient and even in the most fucked off situations understanding. She is loving and gentle. She is just as fucked up as I am. We totally work. I love it and I love her.
And now we are foster parents together, what better way to start the New Year than saving a life? I'm excited! Nervous, and thrilled. Another year to try to fulfill all of my dreams, and then spend some time dreaming up new ones.
For once I can honestly say that even emotionlly unstable, even still broke and with a world full of problems at my heels...I'm grateful to be alive and to have found some geniune happiness. If you asked me right now, I'd tell you I wanna marry this girl and spend the rest of my life exploring this world with her.
Happy New Years friends, I hope this last year taught you some important lessons to prepare you for the majority of awesome that's about to hit in this next year.
I love you all

august
i'll see you soon
under yellow moons
where i'll gather what's left of you
and august
i'm on your side
or did i speak too soon?
now we've crossed the great divide
someday we will meet beyond the stars
and it'll be away from here
someday we'll meet beyond the time and the bars
and it will be away from here
august
august of last year
before the leaves disappeared
told me you were not the one
august
something in your eyes
or was it that July
told me not to take it to heart
someday we will meet beyond the stars
and it will be away from here
someday we will meet beyond the limits of who we are
and it will be away from here
someday we will meet beyond the stars
and it'll be away from here
someday we'll meet beyond the land that you call miles away
away from here
