Life is good... at least for me.

Okay, new blog... new mindset... Riiiiiiiight.


I'm still a little bitter, like those of you who know me may remember; and, I like to run my mouth like an ass, but at least now I pick my battles more and try not to raise a few blisters on some peoples' asses for my own amusement as much.


I'm in a stable job, buying a house and trying to live life a little more on an even keel... life's too short to be so pissy all the time... but I have to rant from time to time in order to keep from having a major meltdown one someone.


Some of my old friends aren't doing so well right now... and I'm sad for them, really. I hate to see people I care about to be in pain or lost or just in a rut. At least one of said friends should know, that after our recent meeting... has nothing but total support and love from me and my wife. Like I said, you're living my ultimate nightmare and I hope that your pain will somehow be eased and you can go on living a happy and full life, no matter what tomorrow will bring. We're here for you, bro... sorry that we weren't aware until now.


Another friend is just having a tough time of it with life and some annoying elements that aren't going away and a job that isn't reliable. We've known each other almost half our lives, and even though we've been estranged several times over the last decade but I know you're there and I promise we'll be in touch more often from now on... and that reunion you talked about sounds like a great idea. Really.


I'm sorry that both of these people are having a tough time right now, and I wish I could snap my fingers and make things better... but that's all but impossible and it wouldn't be fair anyhow. To use a line from one of my grandma's sermons "you just have to persevere, God puts these things before you to test you... no matter what you can't give up, because that is how you'll fail."


So, at least for you two... persevere, this too shall come to pass. Remember the good things you have and the people that do care about you and use those as your strength. I know each of you have the strength to make it to sunnier days, and you're always better off than you think. I love you both and you always have my shoulder and my hand if you need them.


Okay... that's enough of me being sappy... I promise I'll have something really nasty next time... >:-D
