| A short update |
[Nov. 10th, 2009|09:09 am] |
So I have been away for some weeks, just busy and not home...
Vegas was amazing - we did 8-10 miles a day of walking almost every day.
And besides that time away and alone with Tara just was wonderful, forgetting the world and reconnecting... Tara and I are just so peas in a pod sometimes it is not funny.
Yesterday was the first day back to run/walking.
I did 3 segments of week 2 after not doing any running for 3 weeks, I was quite proud, and I finished the walk (6miles) strong.
I am not really losing weigh but inches, and I am good with that for now. I have to change my diet to lose inches and I have not decided if I care about that. |

Just an update.
I have successfully done 3 intervals with little to no pain twice. The weather is getting crappy though so it is starting to get hard to get motivated.
I have hit the weight bench twice and the treadmill once.
Time to join a gym. |

| 4th of July |
[Jul. 1st, 2009|01:16 pm] |
We have had to cancel on some parties for this weekend for various reasons but since we're going to be home as a result, we've decided to open up the invite to people to come and hang with us, have some BBQ foods if you'd like and watch fire works from our balcony facing the river.
If you're in our area (because "greater Fall River" is so popular...) or you want to be and you want to swing by for food, fireworks and just general hanging out, come on over. We'll be around all day after noon-ish and if you need a place to crash, just bring some bedding and we'll find you some floor or bed space somewhere in our castle.
Fireworks in town are slated for 9:30 I believe and like I said, we can see them from the deck so no need to go anywhere near the crowds or fight with traffic.
If you want to come, let me know and I'll get you directions. |

| Update |
[Apr. 21st, 2009|11:11 am] |
So wow, it has been awhile. but work has been busy in a good way. My boss, whom I do not get along with, is giving me more meetings to attend with the parent company/team we are integrating with. This is good for me as it gets me more exposure with the important people, but the meetings are so boring.
I completely forgot my dad's birthday two days ago, focusing more on a few up coming birthdays, I will have to call him.
This weekend is so busy, Friday night dinner with a dear friend in North Hampton. Saturday, breakfast/brunch with T's Mom, afternoon with Amy for her birthday and then dinner at Feng and the night at the space. Sunday, relaxing morning then brunch at Stables I hope, a day in Amherst and off to hang out with a great couple for dinner.
Life is good, maybe Friday night at the space as well. |

| Just an update |
[Apr. 2nd, 2009|08:54 am] |
Just a post about everything going on. Life is busy the next couple of weeks so I want to get it down.
This weekend the 4th we are going down to Society for a little fun and relaxing. Dinner with part of the clan which works for me and should be a good time. Tara gets some alone time with Bort which will be good for her and him, and I get some M/s time with Amy. All good things, and hopefully there will be a little boot love going on.
Next weekend the 11th is our quiet one, we are going to Repo! The Genetic Opera (Shadowcasted), all 4 of us. Don't know plans on the Bort staying or not, but it should be a quieter weekend which works for me.
The weekend of the 18th is our first Boston Whip Practice, I am excited because both Domino and I are working together to run it. It should be a blast, that night we are heading over to Sin-O at Machine, it will be my first time. Then the 19th we are going to head to providence for brunch and some fun! Yeah for drag shows!
Then the 25th weekend is Amy's birthday and we will be in Amherst for the weekend leaving Friday and staying until Sunday. I get to see quite a few people I miss and whom I have not spent nearly enough time with.
That's the recap for this week! |

| What Kind of Boots Are You? |
[Mar. 20th, 2009|04:33 am] |
| You Are Combat Boots |  You are a complete and total rebel. You refuse to do what you're told, and you're quite stubborn.
You really don't care what other people think of you. You are tough and often ruthless.
You are independent, iconoclastic, and countercultural. You resent authority figures.
You are very headstrong. No one is going to pressure you into being someone you're not! |

I am going to make an attempt to update more often, I am bad about updating, I just don't know what to write most times.
This week was the LF&P and a visit to the fabulous MJ. It is nice to see her with the new baby and Brodie. We never really get to see them often and I think we should make more of an effort to get down there.
LF&P was good, there are hard times, but everything in life comes and goes.
I am glad to be home. |

So I fail at this LJ thing, but I thought I would throw it out there...
http://www.reporoadtour.com/
Black-n-bright has been talking about forever...
I now have 6 tickets to the January 15th show... if anyone else is interested in going please tell me or Amy. Or call the theatre as the box office is fairly certain they will be sold out.

| Selfish |
[Jul. 29th, 2008|01:47 pm] |
Selfish:
1: concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself: seeking or concentrating on one's own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others
2: arising from concern with one's own welfare or advantage in disregard of others
From MW
Please look at the second definition all tell me what is wrong with it... okay well I am going to show you.
In disregard of others
No, it has nothing to do with another person, NOTHING, being selfish is about you. And you know what its okay.
Now let me tell you why.
In life, we have people that come and go; we have friends and relationships with others. But the one constant, the one thing we never consider is ourselves. We are always here, in the good and the bad, in the times of want, need, despair, happiness, whatever... with ourselves. So in life we can put our faith, and it is always blind faith in other people, however we can trust ourselves completely. We always know when we are lying, but no matter how well you know someone, no matter how long, how intimately we can never know that person like he/she knows themself.
So, if we are the only person we can know completely why should we not think of ourselves. Why should we as people not put ourselves before others? It makes little to know sense to me why we don't put our wants and needs out there on the table for everyone to see. And if someone doesn't like well tell them to go fuck themselves... and move right on to the next person. This is the game of life and we only have one chance to get it right, and if we can't get it right we might as well be happy.
Okay, so let me set some real life examples of this. I am a bad communicator, I always have been always will be. I guard myself absolutely, I don't want people to know what makes me tick, and few people actually do. So what does this mean for the people in my life, well if you are right here with me, sitting beside me, I will give you time, and talk with you because I see you on a day to day basis, I interact with you. For people who are long distance, I think about you, I care about you, but I can't just reach out and touch you, so I am not fulfilling that need. I am being selfish and choosing to use my time for the people I am with all the time, because they can fulfill needs for me daily. I also expect the people in my life to understand this or move on, it sounds cruel, but what I am doing has nothing to do with those people, 0, it has to do with me and my needs.
I believe that because of how I was brought up and my life experiences that I have come to peace with life in many ways. Am I enlightened, hell no, but I am comfortable, and in life what more can you really ask for?
I understand my wants and my needs, I also understand my chosen path, and how my path can fulfill my needs.
Now, we ask why someone would want to spend time with /be with me. Because what I do, what I want, or what I need for myself fulfills needs in others. There is no magical force in love/life; these are simple things, if we choose to look at them simply. So how do we make that choice, we open our eyes and stop the world for just a split second to see how it is, not how we want it to be. When we stop tricking ourselves into believe the world is something that it is not, when we realize that, overall the world is a shitty place and we just have to make the best of what we have. When we stop caring what everyone else thinks and start thinking for ourselves suddenly the world becomes much clearer.
The other half of this is understanding... If someone else is being selfish, and looking out for themselves then let them, do not fault them or hold them back from doing things that they feel the want or need to do. No matter what path they choose it is their choice, not yours, and you have to accept it.
Anyway, what prompted this was a friend's entry, and her internal struggle with her growing change. Remember to be selfish, to take what you want and give nothing back, because in life, people come and go, but you always have yourself. So have fun with it. |

Okay okay I will update at the request of some kitten...
We won't be down this week to the space, just gonna have some R&R time and I think Tara has a date with her... friend... yeah friend oh and it is not a date.
I think we are gonna travel down next weekend, for some much needed Amy beatings, it has been too long since she has screamed.
Outside of that life is great, work is okay, I hate my boss cause she is a moron... But debt is being paid off and Disney is approaching.
Since I have a backdoor way to this place maybe I will post more, what should it be once a day, once a week? Every six months.
Oh and I really want to avoid wow talk here cause most people don't care about it. |

[Apr. 18th, 2007|01:47 pm] |
Bah let us write,
Write about what though, not much to write about although I do need to work on Amy's next assignment, just not sure what direction I want to take her. She is such an interesting creature to me, beautiful but lacks any confidence, intelligent but then lacks common sense. All of these things we work on, and they are not bad, just different from what I am use to.
And by no means do the above facts mean I am not proud of what she has accomplished and what she can accomplish. She has the potential, although she questions it at times, she would not be in the place she is if Tara or myself did not believe she has that potential. I wish she would remember this first and foremost. At one point she said that she had read back in my journal and read how I talked about some of the other girls we have had. And she wanted someday for me to talk about her like that. I don't really know how I talked about them, perhaps then I just posted more.
So anyway, life, the new job, and all else is going well. Not really much to talk about. I am truly not good at journaling... I wonder why. Perhaps my mind just doesn't care like I say and that the day to day life that ways on so many to need to post and express it isn't there. Perhaps I am lazy... Perhaps still I just don't know what to write about. Can anyone help me? Does anyone really want to hear about my boring job and my fairly mundane life? I could always post after I play, but those are usually intimate moments that I don't feel like sharing...
However to make amy blush, the lines on her back are still pretty and the memories make me smile. Many memories make me smile from a lot of different and older sessions. Like tara, power lifting herself off the sawhorse at the old society space. Or at BR when she was strapped to another horse and somehow picked it up and walked 3 paces forward just to fall back on it, landing it on the floor in the middle of a walk way... When we, tara and I dueled an andrea scene for one of her first cutting/scrapings and we did her whole back...
All memories that make me smile but it is a moment in time I cherish, and recalling the whole scene could never truly convey everything about it.
Okay Camp update time, these btw go by the noon check in times on the day I will arrive.

[Apr. 9th, 2007|02:43 pm] |
I have to wonder how many people just fell off there chairs because I am posting. Well yeah, whatever.
So for those who have not heard I have a new job. I am no longer working post market hours, ie 11:30-7:30. I now work 8-4 and am bored out of my mind!
The new job means a few things, more responsibility with less babysitting, I do have alot to do but since I don't know how to do it yet I am doing alot of well reading. It also means better hours as perviously mentioned. It means I save alot of money too since I now work at the same company and the same hours as tara so we commute in together and that is awesome. That also means I sit 4 cubes away from her not that I ever see her, so it is kind of a whatever. And lastly, and in my mind most important it was alot more cash... almost double what I was making.
What else in life going on.
Tara is well, she doesn't post much either anymore, not sure why there have to ask her. But outside of recent car issues not much. Life is just going, camp is getting close which of course excites her.
Amy, hehe well that is another story. She grows each day and it is kind of funny to see sometimes. And she likes to play which is great a new outlet for my sadistic streak. She is now working on assignments, but sometimes it amazes me where she is and how old she is. I wonder if everyone we worked with has been like this or if she just grew up so different that alot of what she knew has to be so radically changed. I do not want to change her person, I do want to give her the chance to be a better person, and that may involve change. She asks me that question all the time, or often states "how far behind everyone else she is" and I tell her it is not true. Every person is so unique you can not compare to someone else, and I wish sometimes she would stop worrying about where she is in compared to the world, and only worry about who she is and who she wants to become.
Tis funny I wrote this all last thursday, and I think I will post it. I am going to try and update more since lord knows I have the time...
Probably had more to say about subjects I was discussing but can't remember now.
2:35 85 minutes to go home...
Oh and for all those camp freaks...

| Pride |
[Aug. 21st, 2006|03:03 pm] |
Pride in oneself is considered vain, and is one of the seven deadly sins...
Pride in others, well that is, good I guess.
I am incredibly proud of T, and I always have been, but about a week ago there was new reasons to be proud as she has reached one of her career goals in life. Those of you who read her journal know she has been offered, and accepted a new job at her old company.
She will be an AVP at the age of 3.0... and she has reached a salary goal which she thought was unattainable...
I love her, and I am very proud. |

[Jul. 13th, 2006|02:05 pm] |
So, well I usually don't do this... because I don't get involved.. but wtf....
Has anyone been following what is going on in Israel right now? A total of three soldiers have been kidnapped by two seperate groups (or at least they are claim responsability and the most powerful army in the middle east is on the move... Hello the Israelis are supplied by the US government... they have more advanced and better military then any of the surrounding countries and they feel an appropriate response to 3 soldiers kidnapped is to launch a full strike against Gaza Strip and Lebanon... And now they are talking about going after Iran and Syria. The entire EU is against this, with the French and Russians going above and beyond and speaking of how over the top the response was. The two Muslim countries that have signed treaties with Israel are considering backing out, those being Egypt and Jordan. And you know what Bush says... the Israelis have the right to defend themselves... hello defending and launcing offensives... wow those two words aren't even close...
In the end I don't really care one way or the other it does not directly effect me. It just amazes me that people can attempt to sanction these actions. Hell, let them kill each other, it matters not to me, but saying actions are justified. Who determines what is justified, who is this supreme moral entity which apparently I am unaware of. Would someone enlighten me?
So that is my tirate... I could go on, but I will not... still not book at the office so no profound thoughts yet. |

| Been awhile |
[Jul. 12th, 2006|01:48 pm] |
So it has been what, nearly two weeks since I posted.
So here I go again, not much going on in life work is busy and it is not, We have two people in training so that means more is on my desk, but I celebrated my 1 year exactly a week ago, that means I can post out... and man I am ready, I just need to refresh my resume and bam asap I am gone. I am hoping to get a position more banker hours, so I don't hate these crappy days where I am here until 10pm, it sucks.
So lets see, since my last update, we have been to TES, it was alot of fun, seeing people was great and as already iterated by others not nearly enough time.
Kim has recently appeared with a strong force in our lives, which is nice she is a sweet girl and finally it looks like she is getting her head on straight, that makes me happy as I have never liked her self destructive behavior. Even Tara has warmed up to her a bit, which is nice to see.
A is over tonight, hopefully things go well and we have more time to talk. She is fun, and cute but there is still something puzzling about her.
Wow just thought about that, A is different from older A, though older A and I talked for about two hours on the phone recently, good conversation, not much going on. I am glad she is well and things are looking up for her.
See boring stuff in life right now. Thou, I think I am going to start posting Daily Taoisms, with my own personal thoughts behind the cuts. They make you think and ponder, but each journey is to their own, and private, so I have been wavering back and forth on what to do.
Well love to all those I have not seen recently, |
