2009/08/08 10:15 I always have the title: update...
I suppose it is because it is always so far between postings. I don't like everyone to know my business so I don't post as often. The previous posting was about vegas and that was three months ago. So, I think the murder trial, or at least my part, is finished. I went to testify as I had a disembowled man die in my arms over a very pathetic drug deal gone bad on the strip. I knew no person involved and they were not there for the APP it was just my shitty luck. .
I feel as though these last few months I have become more aware and present than I have ever been. Stresses that have burdened me have little overall weight on me. People that have not been positive energy are dissolving from my immediance. I do not hold on to the past, or worry about the future. I have found that if I focus on the present moment, all else will align as they should when they do.
2009/05/17 08:03 I knew this year was going to be interesting when I first showed up at the tropicana bar. All in all, it was the best of times as well as the worst of times... I'll most likely go into more details about both sides of that coin later. Until I testify in this upcoming murder trial, I won't mention too much publically.
2009/03/03 13:14 It takes me a long time to write here. A bunch of shit, good and bad have orbited through my world... I just don't really find ranting about any of it very interesting. I'll try to give a quick summary:
I have brought my work shifts down to one day a week.
I've been getting more scarification clients as of late.
I'm going to APP.
I've been drinking a 40oz. everyday for the last 4 months.
I've been slacking on yoga.
I have been building furniture and constructing walls in my loft.
I take trains planes and automobiles on a regular to San Diego.
I smoke large amounts of marijuana.
My drivers license has been expired since November.
Ultimately, life is life and I'm living it. Nothing too special, nothing too horrible. I've been on auto-pilot for over a year and I don't really mind so much. I won't blow smoke up your ass and talk about how awesome I am I'd give you my schedule cause I don't make one, and if you know me, then you already know if I am awesome or not.
