#home

Chipped and faded paint -Two shades of taupe Do our echoes interlope? Family of four -This was no tenement Children’s names in dried cement Fossils left in the grey -A handprint and a shoe Memories of mine and others of you Mountain view included -Aspirations: beautifully simple After demolition ...

What is "home"? When I think of my home, I don't think of one at all. For 10 years, I had a home. One I built for my son and busted my ass for. I left it and although I could have always came back, it wasn't the same. It doesn't feel like my home…

Well as of Friday April 29th I made my last car payment. It felt EXTREMELY nice to have that all paid off. We got it paid off a few months early, I wish it was paid off sooner than we got it but that's alright at least it's done now. Now we have to work…

  This is probably the latest I've ever wrote a "new year" entry. Ah well! I'm really not sure where 2010 went, to be totally honest. It started with my last semester of college plus a huge surgery and ended with another surgery and a new job. Quite the whirlwind of events. In...

  Well, more knee surgery is on the books for October 6. I've been through PT again and it hasn't helped at all. My knee is still buckling and going out, plus I had a full on dislocation a few weeks ago and again last night that completely shot any chances of getting my quad…
