Over the past two months I started posting entries as friends only with an occasional public entry. I have decided now that due to circumstances this journal from this day on my Livejournal will be friends only.

To check to see if you are on my friend list make sure you are signed on when viewing my Livejournal. If this is the last entry you see then you are not on my friend list which in that case leave a comment and ask to be added. In most cases I will either add you in to my friends list or tell you why I don't want to add you.

Thank you for your understanding.

Well everything is going great here for me! I start a new job tomorrow doing what I like, working with computers! I am so psyched for this job! It's been a long hellish 3 years of trying and trying to find a job here and especially in PA and then I get a break and boom I get this one. :) Maybe I just needed the right motivation to help me find one. :) Brenda and I are doing great as a couple. I never thought I could fall this much in love again. With all the shit Jess has put me though over these past few years with her pscyho mood swings and total bullshit I thought it would never be possbile but I guess I was wrong. There is always the possbiliity of love and happyness after a bitter divorce/seperation. IMHO love doesn't suck, it rules! :)

I was just reading a bunch of my old old entries from 2002 when I first got LJ. It's strange reading them over and remember doing what I was talking about in my head and even seeing it. I wish I could delete most of those old entries, especially the ones from about Oct 2002 to Jan 2004 when shit started getting bad for me when I lived in PA. A lot of stuff I just don't want to remember if you know what I mean. Ah well I am going to bed. Night night y'all.

Well yesterday I had to go up to Columbia to this employment agency that I signed up with for an appointment. I filled out all the paperwork crap that I had to do and hate to watch this stupid 10 minute video and fill out this questionaire thingy. The lady that I talked to said they had an data entry job available right now which is what I have done before in the past. This job required the person to do 8500 alpha keystrokes. They got me to do the Alpha keystroke test. I tried out the practice test first but couldn't get used to the keyboard for that. Then when it came to doing the test I still wasn't used to the keyboard but still scored over 8500 alpha keystrokes but with a lot of errors. The people at the agency allowed me to redo the test and the second time around I did about 1/3 of the mistakes the first go around and almost 10000 alpha keystrokes! Woohoo! I emailed the people at the agency some references for them to check so I hope that they co-operate with me and give me a good reference which I am sure they will. I just hope that I get this job. *fingers crossses*

Not much else is up right now except the usually stuff. I am too tired to write anymore so I will probably do any entry in the morning sometime or another.

I talked to my parents today about the email I sent to them last night and they did agree about some of things I said in it. I think things are going to be smoothed out between them and me and they will give me the leeway, credit, whatever you wanna call it that I deserve when it determining what things I do down here including my relationship with Brenda. It's about time they did too. This has been a long time coming and I finally took a firm stand for what I believe in. I think they are finally going to listen to my concerns about my how I choose to live my life. My dad said that if it is ok with my mom they will talk to Charlene about this stupid ban I have from going up to Brenda's and getting it lifted. I have to get them to talk to them since I know Charlene won't listen to me since I am not an adult in their minds. *BLAH!!* I hope that they will listen to my parents as their are just that my parents and Charlene and Jodi are not.

Brenda told me to listen to this song and since I ripped it off a CD that I borrowed from her I have been listening to this song a lot. It so reminds me of how things are right now with me and Brenda. *sighs*

Three Doors Down - Here Without You

A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same

All the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreamin' of your face
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, there's only you and me.

The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go.

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me.

Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done.
It gets hard but it won't take away my love

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me

My parents are sometimes the most fustrating people to deal with. I again talked to my parents twice today. First time I was ticked off at a bunch of shit that has been happening here. They of course didn't make me feel any better as they jumped down my throat about Brenda and on top of that they made me feel even worse. I haven't been doing much lately around here except painting this room as staying in here away from everyone as I don't want to talk to no one right now. So I sent them an email today explaning them a bunch of stuff about how I am an adult and I am not getting treated like one here. My mom seems to love to jump on my case about my failed marriage with Jessica and remind me about that every chance she gets. I called my parents back and my dad didn't seem all that thrilled to talk to me. I told him to read my email and let me know when he got a chance to let me know what he thinks. I haven't heard from them about that email yet. I just wrote them another long email yet again explaining to them my feeling about this whole matter as well as a few other things I haven't mentioned in my previous emails. I hope this helps smooth out things between them and me. I meant what I said in the last email and hope they take it as so.

[	What I am listening to	|	Listening to Diane stir around at my feer	]

Yesterday I got an email from my parents giving me conditions on what will happen if I move back to Canada or stay here in Sumter. I wasn't a happy camper when I read this email. For one thing they said I could not hang out with a certain 3 people if I moved back who they assumed all do drugs and that is not true. I know for a fact only of them actually do, one used to and doesn't anymore and one is very anti-drug and always has been. Another condition if I moved back was that I was to get psychology help to get me through this which I know I wouldn't put it past Charlene to suggest that shit.

Well by the time I read this I was pissed off so I emailed them back correcting them about my friends back home and a few things concerning Brenda and her past. I knew about Brenda's past way long before I really started talking to her and didn't care what happened back then. I told them in the email that Brenda's past was just that her past and they should just let it be her past cause I know she wouldn't do anything like that again cause of Selena. I also told them I didn't agree with Charlene telling them that shit when it was none of her business in the first place to say something like that to them. It should be Brenda's decision to them that if she so desires to and not Charlene's. I also said something to the effect of that I know what I am doing (concerning Brenda) and that I am a grown man please treat me like one and asked them NOT to talk to Charlene and Jodi about any of this as THEY (my momma and papa) are my family and Charlene and Jodi are not.

I did talk to my dad today and he said he read my email and was glad I said what I did in my email back to them. Now maybe maybe they will finally give me some credit and stop being so anal retentive about everything that I do and the people that are my friends. All of this crap that has happened in the past few days is total bullshit and came out of Charlene asumming something that I didn't do. I am going to call my dad up tomorrow and talk to him a bit more about this whole subject.

Well things started off on a very odd note but things have progressed and gotten better as the day wore on for the most part. My parents are on my case about a bunch of shit and well I know now what I need to do for my sanity and happyness.

I would also like to wish Brenda a happy 29th birthday today. I am sorry we couldn't do something special for your birthday but I promise we will sometime soon even though I know you don't like celebrating birthdays.

Why can't people just mind their own business and stop sticking their noses where they don't belong. It seems that everyday there is something going on here and if it's not one thing it's another! Argh! On top of all of that Jess was being a bitch to me online yesterday and I was not in a good mood and let her have it. She was pulling he bullshit that I dealt with back in January with her wanting to get me deported and shit and all I have to say to that whole conversion is pfft whatever Jess so fuck yourself bitch.

Well I finally got my windows back up and set up how I like it. I just finished the last thing not too long ago. I had to reinstall Serials 2k as the database somehow got destroyed. It would give an error when I would error and crap out when I did an update to it. So I ended up trying to clean up the database but that just made it worse where it wouldn't load up at all. So I tried reinstalling it again with all the updates and it screwed up again where it wouldn't load. I finally gave it one last try and it worked on the third time. Woohoo!

I also uploaded to my Webshots Gallery a bunch more pics. I added the pics that I took with my cell phone up there and make a folder for that, plus I added a few new pics in the Miscellaneous folder as well I created a new folder that will give a week by week pictorial of Betsy's next litter of puppies. :)

[	What I am listening to	|	Listening to the local action on my police scanner	]

Well for the last 2 days I have been reinstalling everything back on my computer system. It seemed that I got either a virus or a trojan horse. I am not too sure which one but when I went to delete Half-Life off my machine cause it kept on crashing it I didn't realize it but all my Exe files where getting removed from my Program Files directory. My machine ended up crashing hard where I had to reboot and do a reboot from the last time I rebooted. I tried to reinstall everything but alas the machine was beyond repair and I ended up reformatting the drive and reinstalling everything. Ugh what a pain in the ass! I am almost done now but still have a few more thing I have to install then I need to tweek some of the applications to my liking. This time around though I am going to make sure that I make a backup of my hard drive every week or so. I just need a version of Ghost that supports the NTFS file system.

Other then that things are well down here in the south. Charlene and Jodi are getting their house repainted by their cousin and his crew so my room and the rest of the house is currently in a slight shambles. The hallway where they painted the closet doors has already made a big difference and brighten up the hallway a whole hell of a lot. Saturday is Brenda's 29th birthday so I told her I wanted to do something special for her, take her out to eat just me and her and she reluctant agreed. I am looking forward to be able to spend some quality time with her, just me and her and no kids or anyone else bugging us. :)

[	How I am feeling inside	|	annoyed	]
[	What I am listening to	|	Listening to Noah and Isabelle driving me nuts!	]

Well I knowit's been a while since I updated this. Not too much has been happening around here. Just the same old stuff I do usually on a daily basis, get driven up the wall by Noah, Thomas and Isabelle, hang out with Brenda and Jody and get driven up the wall by Selena. LOL. But it's all good no matter. I've been searching for a job and just recenly applied at Walmart, which I said I would never work at again cause of the bullshit I put up with up at the New Castle store and Lowe's. But I need a job so maybe I can get one there. Friday I was driving up the road when I was coming back from the post office past Charlene's house and towards Brenda's and Billy Turner was walking Betsy, Eddie, Diane and Sissy and they ended up following me all the way up there. Brenda and I had to hold off Wally who is one of the puppies of Betsy's as he was growling and snaring at her. Betsy on the other hand was a just sniffing him. I think she knew who he was. Jody ended up grabbing the golf cart and me and him got Betsy into it and rode her back down the road with Diane and Sissy running behind us. We only ended up getting half way down the road before we had to let Betsy out. The golf cart was having trouble with the amount of weight on it and needed to be charged on top of that. Betsy ended up running behind us the rest of the way. Now that was a sight to be seen. Poor old Betsy looked like a cow running her pregant butt down the road back to the house. LOL. :)

If it is not one thing it's another that happens down here. Tuesday was justa day chopped full of drama. *shakes his head* I wasn't there when this all way going down, I was just waking up but I did hear about it which just totally freaked me out. Then last night I hear that Danny who is Brenda's ex hubby is now saying shit about me. Well I pretty much said to her that if I see him at the side of the road somewhere tha I will make sure I swerve (by accident of course *grin*) and run his ass over. Everything else thought is good down here. My sunburn has finally turned mostly into a tan now. I am still peeling a little bit and the itch from the peeling has finally almost all stopped. Well other then the usual drama I have been just hanging out with Brenda and quite enjoying it very much too. :)

[	How I am feeling inside	|	chipper	]
[	What I am listening to	|	Random sounds around the house	]

Well it's been a interesting couple days. A lot of shit has been floating around here. There are people that are not even involved, who are running their mouths to other people about stuff that goes on up the road. It eventually gets back to us. You know, if it is not one thing it's another. We thought that things where sorted out Sunday when we talked to Charlene. But she is still pulling her shit today with me and trying to meddle in the middle of my business. Well I am not going to let it interfere with how things are. Then there is Chris who is another shit stiring spoon that needs to mind his own business. He called over at Brenda's house last night at like 2am bitching about how she's changed and shit since I have been hanging out there all the time since I got back from Canada. Brenda thinks that he was on something or drunk off his ass, which doesn't suprise me. He asked Brenda for my number so he could talk to me but Brenda wouldn't give it to him. Well he knows I live here at Charlene's and Jodi's house and knows their phone number and if he wants to talk to me he knows how to get a hold of me but to be quite honest I have nothing to say to him. *shrugs* It's just another case of SSDD, same shit different day. Stayed tuned tomorrow for another episode of the Drama Of My Life. *grins*

Well all is well down here in the south. I went up to Radio Shack 2 days ago and picked up my scanner from Radio Shack and had to buy some batteries for it. When I got in the car I put the batteries in it and was like shit I am going to have to reprogram this motherfucker. :P So for the past couple days I have been slowly programming frequencies in it. The worst part and the past that takes so long and it teadous as hell is putting the alpha tags on each of the frequencies. Grr!

I had a good day yesterday. Brenda and I able to get out of the house and go grab something to eat alone without Selena or anyone else distrubting us! To say the least I really enjoyed it a lot. The only downfall wa sthat Jody called in the middle and said Annette was there with the kids. Ugh. By the time we got back Annette was gone and the kids where there. I have no idea why there where as she just picked them up earlier in the day. Oh well, hopefully she pays Brenda for all this extra time she is looking after the boys.

Well Brenda nor I ended up going to the dogshow up in Greenville. Both of us where burnt to a crisp that hurt so much just to move or do anything. I am still burnt pretty badly on my shoulders that it still hurts as of today. Charlene was saying that Spencer was really good (believe it or not) and that everyone loved him. As well Charlene already has already set up 3 buyers of puppies from Betsy's next litter of puppies, which should be born in mid September and ready to go out the door sometime in December. I would of liked to go to the dogshow but I just felt so runned down that day that I mainly just slept or tried to at least and hung out up at Brenda's for the day with her and her cousin Jody. There is one suppose to be out in Columbia in September so maybe if everyone goes I will go to that one.

I called the place that is doing my divorce and they said there is a backlog of cases at the paralegals so my paperwork is there just have to wait a bit longer. Well at least they have it and this whole shitty ass mess with Jess over and down with. Speaking of which I haven't talk to her in about 2 weeks, suprise, suprise. Last time I talked to her she wanted me to help her fix a problem with her computer network but I had to run so I didn't have time to help her out, not like I would anyways. :) But I am going to email legal aid people in a few days and see what the status is of my paperwork. Hopefully there will be a change. It has been around 2 weeks since I emailed them last but I will have to see. I just want this over and done with.

I called up Radio Shack and my scanner is finally done! So I am goign to go up there today and pick the thing up and hopefully I don't have to sit there and reprogram the damn thing with all the frequencies I had in it before. Yay!

Well today was an adventure and a half. Jody, myself, Brenda, Selena, Annette's two kids that Brenda babysits, William and Dillon, Anne and her four kids went to the lake down near Manning. It was a hell of a lot of fun but the heat from the sun was brutually hotter then the shades of hell. It was up in the mid 90's today and with the heat index it blew that was over the 100F mark. In turn most of us got sunburnt really bad including me. I haven't gotten this much sun in a long long time.

Tomorrow is going to be another long ass day as Charlene, Jodi, Erin, Jon, myself & Brenda is going up to this dog show up in Greenville 3 hours away. I think that Erin and Jon is going to bring Duncan and Charlene just said that her and Jodi is going to bring Diane and Spencer. It's should be a lot of fun. :)

Wow today was another hot ass day down here. I am not really happy wih the Verizon store out in Florence. Yesterday I brought in my Nokia 2589i in to get looked at. Well they said that cause there was a few other phones being serviced ahead of me that I would have to come back at 2. I was like I live in Sumter, 45 minutes away I will come back tomorrow. So I drove back out to Florence today and picked up my phone. They said they changed the battery and it works fine now. I went out to the car and by gone it, the fucking thing still still resets itself in the middle of anything I do. So I went back in and talked to one of the customer service people in the repair place. Well again this person said I would have to leave my phone since there where people's phones ahead of me. Grr! I told her I dont live in Florence and it's a pain in the ass to leave the thing. She let me have a minute to think about what I wanted to do and I just looked around at the other phones available. I ended up finding a new phone that I really liked and decided to buy that one instead of using the piece of shit one I had before. I am going to write Verizon Wireless main office a very nasty letter telling them what I think of their store in Florence and I hope to hear something back from them.

Today I went up to Brenda's and was there for most of the day. Noah wanted to go up there too to play with Selena so we went up there for a while. Jodiwas filling the wadding pool up with water so Noah and Selena could go in it and someone added bubble bath to it. As usual too Brenda and I both got our asses soaking wet mainly from the kids and ended up sitting down and cooling off in it as well. Mind you getting splashed in the face with the soapy water is not a fun thing. It burns like a motherfucker. :P I have been hanging down there quite a bit the past week. I must say that Jodi and Brenda are a trip and a half. LOL.

Today wasn't all that exciting although we did these pants for Betsy which are called "Bitch Bridges" which pretty much keeps Eddie from mounting her. What it basically is, is a pair of doggie pants with a little hole for the tail and a padding for her when she pees. It's quite funny seeing her in them. I did get a picture of it and will post that up on my webshots as soon as I go through all those other pictures I have from my trip.

I did get up to Staples today and get myself a new modem. I ended up only getting a Zoom modem instead of a USR. The external USR was almost $100 compared to almost $60 for the Zoom which is about what I payed for that external USB USR modem. So far I haven't had any problems with this modem so I am going to cross my fingers and hope that I don't run into any more snags. I was going to bring back the USB modem back to Walmart today but I forgot to bring the receipt with me so I will have to do that tomorrow.

I also went to Radio Shack to talk to someone there about my cell phone resetting itself all the time. They said they could send it in but I would be out of a phone for 2 weeks. The other option they told me is I can go out to Florence or Columbia and bring it to a Verizon Wireless store and they might be able to do more for me. So I guess on Saturday I will go out to Florence and see if there is anything they can do for me as this problem with my phone has been going on since I got it.

Yesterday was hotter then the shades of hell! It was up in the mid 90's but with the heat index it was probably near 105 or so. It is such a change from the comfortable 80 degree weather I had when I was in Canada. Noah and I went up to Brenda's yesterday so he could play with Selena. We came back to the house after a while and got our bathing suits so we Noah could go into Selena's kids wadding pool. The kids where having such a good time in it and Brenda and I ended up getting soaking wet from them spraying us with the hose, which the water coming out of that was colder then heck. We where like what the hell and ended up playing in the pool as well. Hell, at least it was a way to keep cool.

*Sighs* Well today is the gang back home Karaoke night and I am going to miss it. I talked to Jeff earlier and told him to tell everyone that I said hello to them all which he said he will.

Well I am back down here in SC. It is kind of good being back here but I still miss home and all my friends and family back there. It was a crazy ass trip home and now that I am back I am missing the peace and quiet I had up there. :)

Friday I was suppose to go out to the bar with Dylan but I couldn't get a hold of him so Jeff and I went up to Milton and hung out with Todd. We went out and rented a movie, Welcome to Mooseport which for those who haven't seen it is a good flix. After we wtched it we then went out and walked around downtown Milton causing our usualy havoc as we used to do when the three of us hung out when I lived in Ontario. Jeff printed out these stickers that says "Your have been Own3d by UPI United Phreaker's Incorporated" and we where walking around putting them on payphones. Those those who know or don't UPI is my old hacking/phreaking group from eons back. We sat around Todd's place afterwards and talked and made some Sangria which Todd hasnever had before. I didn't get home that morning till aroud 7:30am. It's been years since I hung out with Todd and it was a hell of a lot of fun.


The UPI you have been 0wn3d sticker :)

Saturday I started heading back to SC and stopped off down in Virginia for the night and got back late Sunday evening. I didn't leave Ontario on Saturday till about 3:15pm since I slept in to about 2pm that afternoon. The trip back wasn't very exciting at all. It was all the same old trees, roads and mountains that I saw on the way up. I stopped at the Canadian Duty Free at the border crossing and picked up a carton of Canadian cigs and then went to the Currency Exchange to exchange all my Canadian into American. There was someone ahead of me at the booth talking to the lady and he goes to her I better not talk to loud he (pointing to me) might be American. I was like no I am Canadian but living in the US. He was saying how so much better Canada is and I so full heartly agreed with him.

That day I had my Molson Canadian Hockey tshirt on the one that says Canada 5 US 2 and when it was my turn she was saying how much she loves my tshirt and got the guy in the top part of the booth to look at it. Then she said just cause I like your tshirt so much I won't charge you the service charge for exchanging my money. That made me smile. It is always good leaving home on a good note. :) The lineup at the border crossing was really fucking ass busy. I had to wait there a good hour or so to get through. I didn't have any problems once I got to the customs inspection person though. I was worried they where going to hassle me since my green card is terchnically expiried although I have a letter from the INS stating that my green card is extended for a year for travel/work. The rest of the trip was pretty damn boring. I stopped off just outside Erie, PA at this Karate/Fireworks supply place on Interstate 90 and got myself a blue and black Butterfly Knife which I have wanted for a while and I got a damn speeding ticket in West Virginia on US 19 just outside of Summerville. The road goes from a 65 zone down to a 50 zone. Argh! The cop brought it down from a 65 in a 50 zone to a 61 in a 50 zone.

Yesterday well it was back to the regular noise and crazyness down here with all the kids, dogs and birds. Thomas, Noah and Isabelle where driving me nuts. Betsy is in heat again and Eddie is carrying on like a mad man wanting to get some from her. They have already tied at least once so we should be expecting puppies again in about 2 months and they should be ready by Christmas. There was a bad storm here on Sunday which fried my modem, as well as Jodi's modem and the phone jack on the satellite reciever out in the den. I never thought of putting my phone line on my UPI for surge protection but it's too late now. So last night I had to go out to Wallyworld and buy myself a new modem. I also picked up a cheap cordless phone for my phone line and a USB hub since I am running out USB slots on my machine. But again with my luck the modem is being really flaky and whenever I reboot my machine it doesn't recognize that the modem is there and I have to reinstall the drivers. So I am going to have to bring it back today, get my money back for the modem and get a regular serial modem from Staples since Walmart here in town doesn't have any serial modems. Grr!

Oh what a night last night was. I went up to Jeff's house around 9ish. We hung around there for a little bit and then headed out to AC's out in Mississauga. We drank and drank and drank last night. We probably drank at least 5 pitchers of beer if not more between Jeff and I. There was a whole bunch of the usual Thursday Karaoke gang was there (Jeff, Tiff, Vesna, Suzie, Christine) so I had a really good time. The last time I was there last week some really strange shit happened but last night it was a pretty quiet night for once. I was half way inbetween tanked and hammered once the night was over and it felt damn good. I don't really drink all that much in South Carolina so when I drink I drink to get piss ass drunk! :) I am goign to have a tonne of pictures to add to my webshots once I get home. I got a bunch more pictures last night when we where at the bar.

I forgot to mention that when I was out with John wardriving back a few days ago. John and I are both scanner radio nuts and we where talking about them when we where hanging out at his house and how he needs to sell one of them. So I asked him to borrow one cause I am always interested in getting another one so I can run T4win 24/7 without having to use the only portable radio I have. So John let me borrow his Radio Shack 2050, which is a old 300 channel trunktracker scanner. Anyways I got home and he goes you know that radio Happy Birthday. I was like whoa wait he didn't do what I just thought he did. That is so out of character for him. LOL.

[	How I am feeling inside	|	busy	]
[	What I am listening to	|	Nothing at all.. peace and quiet still! :)	]

I didn't do anything really yesterday just stayed home and relaxed and downloaded a bunch of stuff from online. :) It was a nice change to be able to relax for once. The next couple days are going to be crazy busy again. Today I am going out to Karoke at AC's out in Mississauga with Jeff and tomorrow Dylan wants me to go out drinking up in Richmond Hill at Archibald's or as we call it Itchyball's. Then Saturday I am going to try to had back down to SC, and try and visit some of my friends on the way down like Lisa and Kathy in Jamestown, NY and JJ in Corry, PA. Not really looking forward to the drive. There just hasn't been enough time to visit everyone I wanted to. *sighs* Speaking of Richmond Hill I couldn't believe how much that place has changed since the last time I was up there, which just happened to be when I moved from Canada to the US, about 3 years ago. In the 3 years I have been gone the populations has expanded almost 50,000 people.

Oh now what was funny was a couple days ago when John and I went wardriving I was stopped at the side of the road around the Yonge and Eglinton area. Now on my car I have a bumperstick that says "Caution Wardriver At Work This Vehicle Makes Frequent Stops" Anyways I guess this guy starts asking us all kinds of questions and we are like you know whatever, giving him the go away idiot type attiture, telling him wardriving isn't a crime. What an idiot. I had to chuckle about that guy and how stupid some people are. *shakes his head*
