HAPPY BIRTHDAY CODY!!!!!
So I haven't posted anything or logged in on LJ in 17 weeks. To tell you the truth I've been too busy to do anything other than work and pay bills. I'm convinced that I only work to pay bills.
Anywho, my power went out when Florida was having those random power outages or whatever they were last week and now all of my food is bad. I'm never at home so I would've never known until I went to go cook yesterday and everything that I cooked tasted bad. BLECH! Now I don't have money to buy food with because my first car payment is due tomorrow and rent was due today. DAMN! So yesterday all I did was spring clean and I didn't even finish because I'm so damn thorough. But I will be finishing this weekend. Anyway, the reason why I don't have any money is because I put all of my savings down on this car and I had a funeral to go to so I missed 8 shifts of work, not in the same pay week, THANK GOD or I would've been homeless and carless.
Anywho, my dad was killed on February 16, 2008. He was a big time gambler and he usually only gambled with people that he trusted but on this night he gambled with this guy that was a mutual acquaintance with one of his friends. Anyway, the guy gambled away his wife's whole tax return in poker and went home and probably got cursed out so he decided to go back and that's when he killed my dad and two of his good friends and made off with a large sum of money. He was caught the next day in Ocala, which is where he was originally from so he didn't even enjoy the money. Now three families have to grieve and miss their loved ones because of an idiot who couldn't take losing money. His ass shouldn't have gotten in the game if that was the case. My dad would lose thousands of dollars then go back the next day and win. You lose some and you win some. But I really miss him. He was the only parent that I could talk to and he didn't judge me. He was always honest with me and I could count on him to come through whenever I needed him. Now that he's gone my mom has been distanced from me. Hell the only person that has really been here for me is Asia this whole time. I mean others have said kind words and prayers but she's been right by my side holding me up. I'm okay right now because I believe that he's in a better place and I understand that we all have to go some day. He just went a bad way.
Anyway, that's pretty much what's been going on with me. There's a little more but I'll update later.
Oh but I must say this. I am single! 2 months single now! And Tae moved to Tampa because he couldn't deal with not being with me! That made it easier.
