I'm bad at blogging. i Know this. Here is some other stuff i'm bad at:
waking up in the morning
ice skating
being patient with rude people
staying on top of dishes and laundry (and blog posting)
that's is. Those are the ONLY things i'm bad at.
In all seriousness, and without sounding like i'm making lame excuses, It's been a long year. Lots of change in my life, lots of opportunity and lots of closed doors. I'm ready to try and make a change. I'm ready to be more disciplined. I'm ready to stop procrastinating. I'll get around to being better about all that stuff soon, i'm sure... I want to blog 3 times a week, i want to join the world of twitter, i want to not be tired all the time, and I want to get to know you ALL!!!! I'm making steps, so bear wtih me, and please don't give up on me.
Love ya

Stop Bugging Me!
I offer up to you my obligatory, once in a blue moon blog post at the request of the lovely Mrs. Marie, for your entertainment. She made it easy for me, and i'm sure you were find her answers much more interesting than me.
Round One
1. Who did you spend at least two hours with today?
Other than Mrs. Marie, no one. We enjoyed a few car rides together, a quick nap and some football, before retiring to seperate rooms because of a laptop shortage that plagues our condo.
2. What do you look forward to most in the next six weeks?
Christmas, Time off, New Years, Time off, and even though it's a little more than six weeks i'm going to go ahead and throw my Birthday in there.... Hint Hint.
3. Who was the last person you called?
Clam Cakes, that was easy. Good friend of ours that was supposed to hang out tonight, but we turned into shut-ins.
4. What were you doing at 12am last night?
Sleeping. dreading the inevitable 6A.M. alarm.
5. What did you fear was going to get you as a child?
Honestly, i used to be afraid that i was going to forget how to breath... which inevitable brought on panic attacks and then annoyed my parents when i told them i was hyperventilating.
6. When did you last see your mom?
Thanksgiving! What a day, i cooked the turkey, my family all came to our condo, and so did some of Mrs. Marie's and some close friends.... maybe the best Turkey day EVER!
7. What are you wearing right now?
leftover work clothes... boring
8. Where is your favorite place to be?
Azeroth? JK, if you get that you'll know why i'm going to be in trouble when a certain someone reads that. Honestly, i would rather be in the car on the way to some obscure beautiful florida spring with a camera bag and tiny, beautiful hand nested in mine than anywhere else.
9. Where is your least favorite place to be?
anywhere in the morning.
10. Where would you go if you could go anywhere?
Glacier Park, Montana, hiking to Hidden Lake on a cedar trail. Taking someone along that has never seen it before, and making her carry my camera bag.
11. Where do you think you’ll be in 10 years?
My new, 2-story undersea glass cube in the keys.
12. What was the last thing that really made you laugh?
Proposition 8, the Musical
13. What cities/towns/villages have you lived in?
oh, so many....
Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Lakeside, MT
NaiChung Village, Hong Kong
Chico, CA
Lakeside (again)
Saint Augustine, FL
then all over central florida (UCF Orlando, Oviedo, Winter Park, Downtown Orlando)
14. Are you a social person?
i thrive around People, ask anyone. I think i'm the center of attention, but i'm usually wrong.
15. What do you like about winter?
I love when it's cold outside, and i am so weighed down with blankets that i can barely move.

The Gun Range
If you've never had the pleasure of shooting a gun, you don't know what you are missing. I haven't shot in months, and Becka hasn't shot in ever, so I figured it was about time.
i'm Back!
so it's been a while, but i'm got a couple fun things to share, so here it goes:
We shot a wedding on Anna Maria island last weekend, and the Sunshine Skyway was so beautiful at night!

A little Vindication
I know i've been brief up to this point about what's been going on in my life. I've just gotten out of a 7 year relationship and started a new one. We've moved in together, amidst a storm of controversy, and my ex has given me so much grief about it. our relationship didn't end well, and we both were with other people when it was over. she has given me so much grief for moving in with my new girlfriend, and said she would never have done that to me, that she would never move in with him, that they realized how bad of a choice it would be...... it almost started to get to me... then i found this
she would have done it to me in a heartbeat if she could have. she also decided to try and be clever and told MY FAMILY about my blog and my new girlfriends ANONYMOUS blog, to make us look bad, unaware that i had been reading her awful and hurtful anonymous blog for weeks, but i had never held anything she said in it against her.... because it was ANONYMOUS.... that's the point of them... whatever. she hasn't ceased to surprise me. anytime i start to be happy and move on she makes me feel guilty.

Leave well enough alone
Why can't life be normal? why can't everyone just let things be? one good day is always followed by ten bad ones. i feel like i'm running on a a treadmill....
YESTERDAY....amazing...perfect even. trip to st aug with the new lady friend, great lunch with my entire family, great conversation there and back, no one whining about not having direction or destination, ice cream at Kilwin's, a great new album of pictures from the trip (the first pictures i've seen of myself that make me feel handsome in a long time), and dinner at my favorite restaurant ever.
TODAY.... tears, consoling, hurting, anger, rage, angry texts, and standing in line at the clerk of courts to pay a stupid traffic ticket. My ex managed to put together a cohesive sentence and concisely and jealously point out all of my new love's biggest insecurities and single handedly tear down everything good i had finally gotten her to believe about herself. if there was any part of me that wasn't over her, it's gone. who knows what tomorrow, or even 30 minutes from now will hold.
in the meantime, thanks babe, for making me believe in myself
