Classic DF – 11/14/03

November 14, 2003: [•] A lot has gone on in the past month. Too much to recall in one post and most of it is of no interest to you the web viewer. Just mundane everyday stuff that I dare call my life. Work is insane. The workload is near the point of break, but that is my industry and it is something I love. I’ve been fixing a lot of issues lately and resolving many long standing situations that needed addressing. It feels good to know that the network is healthier today than when I found it and that new products are on their way because of some personal effort on my part. I cannot deny that we are a team at work and I have become a team leader of sorts. Once again I assume the role of the trench Sergeant and try to lead those I’m placed in charge of to victory. The road will be bumpy. Our competition is also launching new projects. It is go time on the battlefield that is IT communications and I am smack dab in the middle. I’ve been spending a lot of time with Gette. We have truly bonded on a new level just by spending so much time together. She’s so bright and beautiful. I took off this past week and dedicated it to her. 24/7 of nothing, but giving her my personal attention, which is what she deserves. With work sometimes I feel she gets lost in the background. This is my way of making those lost minutes up to her. I appreciate the understanding of not only my employer, but my ex-wife too. Both have been patient in my rather unique living situation that is single fatherhood and both deserve kudos for their continued efforts to work with me. I thank you all. This week has been of one of quietness. The last couple of weeks someone was following me. I’m not even kidding. It was a PI of sorts clearly tracking me for whatever reason. They have since stopped. I don’t do anything wrong and my life is rather boring. I have nothing to hide. I proud of my pure normality. In a world gone mad I am one of the few exceptions of sanity because I refuse to succumb to the sickness that is our society. Weeks ago in a post below I talked about rebirth and the new me. I haven’t lost any of that. I am different. Some like it. Others don’t. What is reality is real and we cannot go back from it. We must keep moving forward and inevitably some will be lost in the confusion. I’m sorry. There is no stopping now. Evolution is revolution and this is it. I slid off the road two weeks back. Ended up all of five feet from somebody’s house. I hit some leaves with my car on a bad rural turn and was launch into a tailspin. Damn near almost bit it I reckon. Reflections abound from that experience. I thank God for good reflexes and driving skill. I could have not been allowed to post this post had I actually found that house with my domicile seeking missile that is the ZX3. Someone out there obviously is either looking out for me or knows I have more work here to do. Either way I’m grateful to God above for allowing me to type this to you all. Like I said there is many other misadventures to talk about, but those are minuscule compared to the rest. The new music is literally beyond all belief. No one gets it that I’ve showed so far. I don’t care. The next wave will even be more out there. I’m looking at a break through in musical creativity. Like I said, evolution is revolution. And the time to revolt is now. Rise up and be counted.

June 03, 2003: [•] Today is my birthday. I’m 26 years old. Feel free to send lots of money via the address supplied in the big flAnnelmAn ad above if you wish to send a gift. Thank you. [•] Moving right along, Birthday present number one: The Village of Warwick announced at last night’s Board meeting it will be ceasing all condemnation proceedings ASAP and supporting free market principles. I’m happy, enough said. [•] Birthday present number two: The scratch on my rear bumper. I didn’t put it there, but whoever did… well thank you very much. I’ll remember you around Christmas time. You’re right up there with the moron who passed me last night, realized my brights are REALLY bright, pulled over to let me pass, and then was forced to follow me the rest of the way at 40 MPH in a 55 MPH zone. [•] Birthday present number three: BrokenReality has released screen captures from his up and coming animated project. Be warned– you may want to keep a towel around to clean up all the drool these suckers are going make you create. [•] Birthday present number four: Thanks to all my friends and family who wished me a happy birthday. It wasn’t whether you actually bought me something or not; it’s the fact that you remembered to begin with. 😉 [•] Birthday present number five: Having my daughter home on my birthday and spending the entire day playing with her. Gette and I have fun no matter what we’re doing. Today was no exception. You go girl because you’re Daddy’s best gift ever. 😉 [•] Birthday present number six: The tattoo. The big enchilada. The whole damn show. Yes, I will be setting a date and time for anyone interested in watching me permanently emblazon my flesh with my two greatest inspirations: My daughter and God. Believe it or not a couple of people actually want to see this. So maybe we’ll take some photos just for the Hell of it. Watch me cry live on the Net! Nice. TTYL

Classic DF – 12/5/02

December 05, 2002: [•] Oh my God! A Stack Ups! double update! No wait! It’s a triple update! Holy crapola! Love me long time! [•] Everything looked pretty grim for me on Tuesday night. Looked like a major life change was going to happen for me. By Wednesday night I was in a hot tub and my life was back to normal. Well, not that I often find myself in a hot tub; but I think you know what I mean. Life, in general, was normal again. I spent Tuesday night into Wednesday afternoon taking care of Gette. That was pretty cool because normally I don’t see Gette that early in the week. She’s got a cold so she’s pretty sick. Poor kid. I tried to make her as comfortable as possible and to keep her fever down. There’s nothing worse than having to watch your child suffer and not being able to do anything. All the doctors will tell you is “keep fluids in her” so they’re worthless. She was drinking lots of juice and that’s a good thing. Hopefully she’ll be better soon. Wednesday afternoon I went shopping with my ex-wife and Gette. Mel had to do Christmas shopping for her house and I just kind of tagged along. I paid my bills via their respective mall outlets so I don’t get hit with late charges this month (image that). My debt consolidation is going well and from what I can tell I will be out of the hole (so to say) by Spring 2003. Nice. Hung out with V later that night. I was fatigued and stressed out so she opened up her hot tub. I chilled in there like a boiling lobster until I was nearly asleep. Then it was time to go home and go to bed. Now today I woke up and it’s really dark outside. It is apparently snowing like crazy across the entire Eastern US. I cannot tell as I have no windows so I’ll just take the TV’s word for it. We’re supposed to get around a foot of snow and that doesn’t bother me any. I only work down the street from where I live so I could walk home if I had to. Besides, there are worse jobs to have when it’s snowing outside. For example: This poor schmuck has to stand outside in the snow. He serves no purpose since all he can say is “Bob it sure is cold out here” or “Hey, it’s snowing and pretty nasty out from what I can see”. He literally gets paid to stand outside and look like he’s reporting something. What can he report??? NOTHING! It must suck to know that your job revolves around how well you stand outside in horrible weather and look good. I would just once love to hear the reporter say, “Well Bob, you’re sitting on your fat ass safe and sound in the studio while I’m out here about to die. But don’t worry I poisoned the cafeteria coffee machine and your all going to suffer a slow painful death too. Happy Holidays!”. Yeah, I’m evil, but I’m funny so it’s okay. [•] Post-Lunch Update: I went outside finally. It is snowing out. It sucks. The snow is getting mashed into ice by traffic thus making a nice slippery surface to conveniently collide with oncoming traffic with little to no effort. Extremely nice. Going home should be fun. I’d hate to be one of you who has to commute far. I feel your pain. I really do. Oh no, wait… I don’t. Sorry. I’m evil (I just remembered).

Classic DF – 10/23/02

October 23, 2002: [•] The saga of separation continues: Started working on my Order of Separation from my wife. It will take about two weeks to process and then for all intents I will independent of my wife yet still married (Confused? I’m with you. Just smile and nod.). After a year either of us can file for an uncontested divorce from the filing date of the original Separation Order. This is more of courtesy to Mel then a must do thing because she needs health insurance until she can find her own. I don’t simply want to boot her out and leave her dry. That isn’t fair to her. Besides she relied on me for three years and now she needs time to get her life in order. Hopefully she can get everything together in a year. Once again, I don’t want this to be one of those divorces where we come out hating each other. Indeed, that would suck. [•] BrokenReality has gotten 10,000 hits to his site. Congratulations! [•] Skyler’s going through a lot of crap right now so if you see her give her a hug– she needs one. [•] Immy has cooked up a new Stack Ups! based video game called STACKANOIDS! Download it RIGHT HEEEAA~! [•] I went to the Goshen diner last night with V and Broken. I got back home then balanced my checkbook. The good news is I’m going to make it bill wise, but just by the skin of my teeth. UGH! Why does it seem I never have enough money even though I make more than most people in my situation? It’s just mind boggling sometimes. I have no extra cash, period. At least Gette is well cared for. That is my biggest concern. Had a busy day in general though yesterday: Attorney, oil change on the Focus, clean the flAnnelcAve, food shopping, and starting to tie up a lot of loose ends in life. Today is going to be information digging day: Got to get information on my life insurance, salary, and finalize the numbers that will determine my child support. Fun, fun, fun! I can’t wait for all the paperwork, debt, and law service costs to be finalized then paid off. I really want this all done by November because I need to start Christmas shopping. I want this to be a good Christmas for Gette and hopefully I will be able to make it good. God knows I need a miracle right now, but I have high hopes that I’ll get through this okay. At least I can smile and say that single life is going better than expected. Aight, peace out homies!
