hey everyone

im back..sort of. i had to take a leave of absence for a while to get my life straightened out. its been pretty tough for me the past 2 months but ive gotten a lot of things squared away now...not all of them yet though. just to fill some people in. in december...when we had that HUGE ice storm..that same same i got fired for something i didn't do and i proved it, lost my paycheck, hit a tree with the truck breaking a few lights, mirror, and a few dents, wnet into a ditch later that day...some more scratches, sailboat crushed by a tree during the ice storm(still havent even gone over to look at it....) my now ex-girlfriend broke up with me for no reason... this all happened in ONE day. so my life pretty my stopped..very quickly with no where to go. i got a job working for my old boss that left the place that fired me not working on cars though, just a lot attendant...way less money but getting in the shop within the month.

well that about when i stopped coming on here. i fell way behind on my bills because the lack of $$ i had now. after all this was going on i finally just went on a drive. i came to realize that i have been stabbed in the back way to many times over the past few years by multiple people multiple times...with me just shrugging it off because of the good person that i am. well my attitude has officially changed about life...in a good way i think. my friend got me to go back to church on sundays now which has definitely made me redirect my life a little bit. i no longer do favors for anyone unless i get something in return(unless its a stranded motorist or someone in dire help..you get the idea) my truck is not doing so good. its running bad and i havent had the time to work on it :(. i have gained a few friends though over the past 2 months which is great. this past weekend i found out my ex was cheating on me the WHOLE time i was with her. i met the guy she was seeing when i went to plymouth college for a party. we both were like WTF?!?! suprisingly we are friends now. neither of us knew at all what was going on....but we gave her a call and left a voicemail i wish i could see her listen to! she had no idea we would ever bump into each other since she goes to school in vermont.

i got a second job at the bowling alley as a mechanic for the machines. its a good job that pays well. more then my full time job which is half the reason why i havent been on because i work 4 nights. i am quiting my fulltime job because the owner said he doesn;t want me filling the position of tech B in the shop because im doing too good of a job at lot attendant..even though i have a degree in auto technology, 2 years experience and an inspection license.......

my old friend is getting me a job at Loomis doing security and driving an armored truck. way better pay, benefits, hours are great and i have to wear bulletproof vest AND the best part.....im getting a pistol!!!! either a 9mm or a .45 for myself. i know this is long but a lot has happened and this is just a summed up version. im just waiting for the call that i have the job. if i don't get this job i will probably be leaving the northeast. and even if i do get this job i am still planning moving and relocating to a different branch outside the northeast. its still up in the air but thats the plan. im glad to be back and hopefully everything will fall into the right places.:wavey:

Travis and I talked about all this on AIM the other day. He said he might very possible move to California :D :D :D That would be kickass.

Travis, I am VERY happy to see you back. I'm also happy to hear about your new lease on life along with new doors opening and you're able to close the bad ones behind you.

By the way Mr. Tropics, you owe me something. Think "Moving Pictures."

Welcome back Travis, good to hear you have you life back in order. Sucks about your truck, and your job, and your GF... sounds like a country song. :p

Dang- you're too fast for us. :rofl:

Travis- good to have you back, and see that light back on. Sounds like you've seen some challenges, but you're working your way through them. Ditto Aaron's comment about if you need an ear to bend.

Don't worry Chris. We don't judge. I guess your bisexuality doubles your chance of having a date though. ;)
