Avoiding the cataylst, he walks the breadline...
Alright - so another, what, year and I make an update. Not bad, two every four years. Hah! So, from my last update I'm not sure what all I included, but, since then I have been to Idaho and back. I went to Nampa, Idaho to attend Centennial Job Corps and training in Business Technologies and Finance (Accounting) for nearly a year. It was struggles and tribulations, but, I can honestly say I came out a better man.
So, I have dark clouds over my life (as most of you should know) and for the first time in, oh, I don't know, at least ten years - I am clean and serene. I'm off the combinations of heavy drug use. I gave up cigerattes. My biggest addiction now is pure caffiene. I still enjoy the smooth downing of liquor from time to time - but it is really once in a blue moon unlike before. Part of my success through Job Corps was the ability to get sober and goal orientate myself.
So, the first thing that happened when I got hom in March was - I got married. We did a small wedding and will be holding a bigger ceremony in September. My wife works at a Preschool for abused children. For as much of an ass as I can be, she's a complete sweet heart. A giver through and through. For some reason she loves me - also says I'm the same way. But even though I've done my best to mentor and help people where I can - overall I still label myself pretty much as an ass. I'm very fortunate to say that through all my mistakes and problems I have someone who has stood at my side and will for the rest of my life.
Uhh, what else to update on... In the next year I plan to be back on high speed internet and running around the net world once more. I want to get back into writing and online rping because I still plan on writing my great novels. I can't wait to get back to regular conversations with a lot of you. When I am online - on 56k dial up - checking my e-mail or postings things like this or waiting for a picture of the perfect breasts to download (which takes 47 minutes btw) I am on AOL Instant Messanger. My handle is WarWalrus. It's the SMALLEST messanger you can download - hence why I have it on my old, beat up, over worked computer. If you I see you when I am online - I will respond. I also do check my LJ for responses when I am online checking my e-mail (about once a week) so if you respond here, I will respond to you. You can also e-mail me at xmelesiox@gmail.com and I will respond to those as well. You -might- want to remind me of who you are, I'll probably remember but my counselor (drug) told me I suffer from PAWS (Post Accute Withdrawal System) that means some of my memory circuits are fried and other shiite. He says the longer clean time I have the better it'll get.
Last, but not least, I plan on writing another short story. Since I can't remember how to put it a little click-me format and I don't want people tearing my throat for how long of an entry I have in my LJ - I will not post it there. However, if you would like the good reading you can do one of two things. E-mail me with a request or teach me how to do the little click-me html format thing-a-bobber-on-LJ. Yeah. So, hope to hear some responses from the people still out there who'd like to be in regular contact with me. Within due time, I will be more and more responsive and communicative with ya'll.
And I lied, but this is the final note - I - low and behold - am currently friendless. This, is a rather odd life fact. If you use drugs, and your friend use drugs, and you quit using drugs, you quit having friends. Guess I can't say I'm totally friendless, I've made a couple new ones - but my old ones think I have the plague (Or swine flu) or something.
Peace people,
John Echols
