disclaimer
This blog was never really intended for public consumption, it resided on a private server and was more of a dumping ground for me to remind myself what I've been through - I write to remember - but I recently decided that I might put it in a more public forum like LJ to see if I could reach some like-minded people, make a few friends, have a laugh ( Read more... ) -
Return From The Nut Hut
I'm tired of telling the same story over and over again, so I'm writing it here once and for all, with the intent to print a few copies and hand them to whoever asks why it is that I found myself in the hospital again.
"We chase misprinted lies; We face the path of time; And yet I fight, And yet I fight, This battle all alone. No one to cry to, no ( Read more... ) -

puppy time
When you have a puppy all day, every day, is puppy-time. I know this because my family has almost always had dogs around, but I've never owned one myself, since I've been on my own, until now. Shaw is an American Pit Bull Terrier, named after the English author George Bernard Shaw, and he's about three months old. I've had him for about six or ( Read more... ) -
leaves
It's been ages since I looked at my blog, and even longer since my last post. It's kind of funny that my last post was all about improving the quality of my life because right around that time I started making poor decisions and until about a month ago I was riding a downward spiral in to oblivion. Addiction, shady and sometimes criminal behavior ( Read more... ) -
what do I have to do?
I've made awesome efforts to improve the quality of my life. I'm attending to the things I need to attend to, taking care of my responsibilities, remaining open even though I feel like that's a perilous position to be in, and I can already see some of the benefits of this new mode but the one area I really want to see progress in is stagnant.

the auto incident
I just bought C's 1997 Camry four days ago and got it titled yesterday, a day later than we agreed on but I blame that on the DMV's short hours and my hectic schedule. I haven't even had a chance to put the new plates on because the screws are rusty and I don't have a screwdriver with enough "bite" to get them loose and I didn't want to run the ( Read more... ) -
Tom 3 RC 1
This is the new me, the next incarnation, the more sensible and less impulsive, more aware and less of an asshole version of me. It's still a RC - release candidate - because I'm honing my social skills and edging in to strapping it on 24/7. Over the last few weeks I'm made a lot of progress as a person thanks in no small part to taking a break ( Read more... ) -
if i go there will be double
Given my current situation I have an urge to reach out and meet new people, to have a social life that doesn't involve drugs or alcohol. I've met a few people online that I thought might be good candidates for attempting the transition from e-friend to the real deal, and the one I was most interested in has a similar background, is in a similar ( Read more... )
