Return
Two years. Two years its been since I've made a post here. Alot has happened. To recap, I've gotten a job working the night shift at Walmart. I unload trucks. I'm making $10 an hour, and I get benefits and vacation time. I've been working there for more than two years. I've seen people come and go. A few deaths. But one thing has stayed constant; I've never let up on working hard. I may get treated like shit, but it comes with the territory. I've moved into a new apartment. Wonderful place, nice location. Even got some cats thanks to my brother. I've had some friends visit over the past summer. But like I said, people come and people go. Its getting hard to go out and do stuff. All my friends have moved away. I work late. I miss the days when we would hang out listening to music or walking around town. I miss the sound of games being played as I fall asleep. I miss the sound of two swords clashing together during a spar. The smell of candle wax burning. Games of MTG. Random movies and anime to watch. I guess that also comes with the territory. You can't grow older and expect everyone to stick around. Even though I wish they could. Seems people are trying to get away from the cold or the drama or something here. Personally, I miss the drama. Its something I found entertaining. Anyway, back to my recap. I got a divorce shortly after getting my new job. Moved my girlfriend in. Moved a friend into a new place, coincidently right in the same building I'm in. As some people know, got an xbox 360. My boys are now in school. A's in kindergarten. Been deemed the king of self-control. Little Mark lost his two front teeth in a bathtub accident at the grandmas. He's doing fine though. I've been trying my hand at photography, though I haven't been able to do anything recently. I've been reading more manga and watching some more anime. Also been trying to draw again. I've got some works started, but nothing note worthy yet. I'm hoping to get a Wacom tablet soon. As well as a computer of my own. And sorry brother, but theres no way in hell you can make me one from down there. I'd rather buy one that I know will work. I haven't visited the lake much, but when the warm weather comes back, I plan on going more often. I've got a growing bamboo plant that I'm happy for. My "new" bike bit the shit recently. No fixing it now. I've gone out and bought some new D&D books, hoping to get some people together for a game or two. I haven't been able to go to the malls much, but when I do, I try to get some really nice things for Wendy and me. Got a new phone. The Razzle. Its a SWIVEL phone. Thats right, it swivels. No flip or slide. Only downside is that it doesn't have a video function. But thats okay. Got some new dragon pieces for my collection, including a new lamp that was on sale. Xmas was great for the most part. Got a reverse blade katana from Wendy, which I love. Some money from her parents. Some pants and shirts from my family. And even got something from a friend of Wendy's. I've managed to save lots of coins for some odd reason or another. More than $30 worth of coins. Had some halloween fun. Hoping to take vacation soon. Also waiting for tax season. I could use some more money. I've been starting to save bills now as well as coins. Just don't get any ideas. I've been looking into getting some boffer weapons when the next ARCON comes around. I don't have much time during the days anymore because of work, but my days off are great, could be better with friends though. I've decided against trying to make friends with the people I work with. Nothing but morons. Its hard to find people like me now days. We're a dying breed. Well, there you have it. No particular order. Random as the thoughts in my head. Did you know that most people actually think about things that happen? I don't. I have this weird way of thinking. Instead of thinking about anything, I play music in my head. Over and over. It helps me get through the day. And even helps when I get mad. Strange, I'm kinda wanting to go back out into the snowstorm we're having up here and laugh at the freezing winds as they blow snow and sub-zero air into my face. I miss my brushes with death. Can't wait to get more swords too. Maybe My friends will return home one day and things will be fine again. Maybe.
