“Its been two weeks since it happened. The damn thing spread like a wildfire in a field of paper. I can hear them coming, now, you know. The power came back on, and my house lit up like a god damned candle.”
The cracked photo frame in Brian’s hand shook, but never responded. For a moment, he registered it like a nod from a familiar face, but the back of his mind stepped in to ruin his vision. His hands shook, wracked by arthritis and a decade of hard work. His grip tightened on the photo, and his other hand shakily poured a glass full of Jameson. Some spilled, and for a moment he thought of wiping it up, but the stern look from his father persuaded him. It was a waste of time, and they both knew it.
Brian’s eyes had sunk into their socket, and as he looked at that logo branded glass, full of amber liquid, he was transported in time. It was much simpler back then, and despite the danger, he reminisced.
WOW my best friend is being featured for this HCG Ultra weight loss supplement!!!!
She lost 32 pounds in a month! I am so jealous!!!
Ugh im getting some of this stuff before spring break comes.
My boss wanted something like a coat-of-arms for his logo. I showed him one with a lion, and he said “It’s been done before. We want to be unique”. So, I showed him one with a tiger instead, but he said “Not THAT unique. Tigers don’t belong on a coat-of arms. Can’t we find a middle-ground?” A week later, tired of redesigning the logo, I just literally found a middle-ground: I sent him one with a Liger.
Client: (Calling our computer store for assistance) “I turn on my computer, but all I can see is the green LED on! The screen is still black!”
Me: “Your computer is here. You have only the monitor”.

Herro everyone. This would be my tumblr. I promise there was more stuff on it, but… I’ve put all that junk away to let you all know what’s up. Mainly because I don’t have the time to retype it all over and over. We’ve all got problems, hell. I have a crap ton. Most namely some serious depression, a (what I’ve come to find out) is seriously messed the hell up back, and all sorts of junk. So I’ve realized… Life is short.
I moved to Florida to be with my friends. College time rolled around, I applied and got accepted to a culinary school. It wasn’t my thing, and so… I dropped out and got all my money back. I had every intention of applying to OSU and going. But, I didn’t meet the deadlines and didn’t get in. I then realized that, while I do hate Florida, it has worsened since my brother died here. Since I’m kind of dumb, it took me a week or so to realize that Ohio wasn’t a good idea right now. Too much memories of Ryan there. Way too many. I’ve been really depressed ever since he died and can’t quite seem to shake it. So while I miss my family up there… That’s you, Colin, John, Garrett, Caitlin, Morgan, Aunt Pat, etc. I feel like for now I should go somewhere new.
I also feel like I possibly haven’t grown up as much as I really wanted to, yet. I’ve lived on my own, sure. I’ve rented rooms, split apartments, all of that crap. Bills suck. But I’ve never really been in a sink-or-swim situation since basic training, and it seems like that may be what I need. I’m wallowing in depression with no real way to hoist myself out, and no particular way to pay for all of my medical needs. I think a change of scenery, somewhere completely new, and where I really need to rely on myself. Where if I just wallow I’ll just end up in an even worse situation - homeless. I want to make myself feel better by attempting to change everything… And then come back to my family with something I didn’t have before. Particularly coping skills and some confidence.
So where the hell I’m going, you may ask? Well, my original ideas were New York, or perhaps Maine, or New England. But I had decided I wanted a big city with a lot of wilderness around it. Not just.. sprawling concrete. So I’m going to Seattle. I know no one there, though I do have some type of residence set up for now. I’ll have some money - but finding a job asap there is pretty important. I am selling most of my stuff - minus clothes, Ryan’s things… You know, the basic stuff. There’s a few things I still need to get, and I will also use this space as my checklist.
Waterproof multi-day backpack
Reliable knife - S&W most likely.
Running shoes.
I leave the 17th, and I invested in a smallish computer I can use anywhere with Wifi, so… I’ll keep posting updates on this tumblr. I’ll also have my phone.
Anyways… I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has ever tried to help me. Particularly Garrett & Caitlin, Pat and Lori, Aunt Pat, Teddy Dawson and his father, Phillip Gamer, Jeremy Kanars, Matt Casey, Jasmine, Kyle, Amanda Smith and her mother, Big gay Mark, Amanda Kalman, Amanda Biesler… Well. There’s a lot to list, and this is getting rather long. But thank you so much, everyone.
But I’m going to take this time to just settle everything going on. I’ve made mistakes. Some really big ones. Particularly that bit including the suicide stuff(and god do I regret it. The army was the best thing to have ever happened to me). I know I’m distant a lot, I have a hard time talking to people… But I do really try to be a good friend. If you hate me, or don’t want to be my friend. That’s fine. I suppose accepting that is part of growing up. You can’t make someone want to be friends with you (unless you have cake.). But I do love all you guys and, while what I can do for you is pretty limited, if I can be there for you, I will.
Welp, all I have to say. Take it or leave it.
I feel like a one armed boxer. Sure, my right hook is killer, but in the end I’m just a novelty; a one trick pony.
