A crazy world we live in...

Dgener8puf [11:33 PM]: life is crazy
CRuckTemp [11:34 PM]: yeah it is

Life is crazy and that's a great thing, if you ask me. I've been presented with some fairly shitty times in my life, but I've sucked it up and dealt with it. I never let it get me too down. And I knew it'd pay off eventually. Sometime, anytime, who knows.

Just 10 months ago, you probably read right here about how I had the best time of my life over the Christmas holidays. And looking back, I can still say that was the best week or 10 days of my life. I was with the people I cared most about, and life was good.

But it was never meant to last that way, as Jeff and Jen went back to California and then after a couple of months of the typical back-and-forth action, Wendy and Frankie finally split for good. Jeff and Jen returned again in May, but it just wasn't the same. I haven't seen Frankie in months. And Tim got married and has moved on with his life again.

And even though I knew it wouldn't last, I spent several months looking backwards...looking back towards Christmas and always looking back towards a time when happiness was the norm.

Finally, I stopped looking backwards and started looking forward. I had no choice. Jeff has moved on with his life, Tim has moved on with his life, and Frankie has moved on with his life. And now - no disrespect towards them - but I've started to move on, and I've experienced happiness on my own terms.

Life is crazy like that.

The last two weeks have been a blur and it's been an exciting ride and it keeps getting better. I've got a girlfriend. I'm doing well in my classes. I got a 50 cent raise at work. I saw Motley Crue kick ass again. I got WrestleMania 22 tickets. I'm seven weeks away from graduating college.

I'm nearly unstoppable.

And now a picture update:


This is me and Krystal being goofy.


Me being happy. =o)
