BG is pushy and pissed off today. Cammi is back home after a 1hr drive each way.

Thankful

Be thankful I still have all my limbs. Isn't that supposed to be the mantra of the day?

Ya know, I'm not the first guy to lose the lifestyle he loved on a roll of the dice either. Maybe I should just shut the hell up and roll with it; Be glad I still have all my limbs.

Sucks everyone has to read this upside down.

Ya remember that guy in the Twilight Zone who just wanted to read books all the time? It's really no different. Only the format has changed.

Confessions of a Small, Petty ManChild

Yeah, I know how petty is sounds. I try not to lie to myself [or anyone] that I'm some super guy. I try to do the right thing, even while bitching about it; but come on! I chose not to go down this road. I was happy living my pointless, little petty life. Yeah, sure, sometimes I get a little down that I'll be left alone and forgotten on my death bed but that's just the end of the life I wanted to lead. I didn't want to give up everything to further the next generation. I liked what I did. It was nothing great [or even good], but I was happy.

I even tried to give back in my own way. I used to go Black Friday shopping at ToysR Us and pick up all the cheap stuff just to dump it in the Toys4Tots bin. I'd give money to pan handlers. I'm not a bad guy. I just don't want to give up my life for... I don't even really know what parents think. I don't care. I just wanna fix PCs and piss away the money on video games. I know most people would spit on this; Call me a waste of O2. That's okay. I make no apologies, no excuses. It was my choice.

was

...and at the end, I knew I'd have to lie in that bed I'd made. No excuses. But at least I would know how I got there. Regrets? Maybe. I can't say. Probably.

The Grateful Dead sand "I may be goin' to hell in a bucket, but at least I'm enjoying the ride"

I might not be a good guy, but I'm sure as hell not a bad guy either. Just not productive to society. Whatever that means. Whatever that's worth.

Totally just rambling now. Don't even know what the point was when I started writing this. Gonna go play a video game.

Missed a frickin' deal on a Dualshock3 controller for $30. Radio Shack went live early and they're all gone.

So baby1 is asleep in the back room and baby3 is in the Florida room. The kids are gone [surprise]. We're left with another fine mess [tm]. The last baby that spent the night here never left. I'm blowing a gasket.

Elizabeth asked what it takes for a mother to disown a child. I told her I didn't know and never thought about it because I never expected to be in this kind of position. Told her to call my mom and ask.

John overheard Sarah talking to a girl at work and saying she wants to have more kids. I'm ready to stroke out just typing that.

Ahhhhhhhhhh! A glass [or 3] of red wine and playing The Grateful Dead on my plastic guitar. These are the things I used to live for. The smell of turkey dinner is just gravy. Erm...pardon the pun.
