04:23 am - Song stuck in my head
The song stuck in my head this morning when I woke up was "Quarantined" by At the Drive-In. The bad part is its just the bass intro.

08:46 am - What Do You Have To Say? - Me Behind The Wheel
When there's something good on the radio, I belt it out like I'm in an arena with 100,000 people.

01:19 pm - What Do You Have To Say? - A Profound Impact
I always thought it was crazy to say a song saved your life. Then again, I never thought I would be suicidal. Anyway...the song that saved me was Instead Laugh by Onesidezero. I guess they have had the biggest impact on my life.

05:30 pm - What Do You Have To Say? - I'm Taking It With Me
I would take the pic that is on my phone right now. Its a pic of my wife and son squeezed into the frame of self-taken picture. Crazy but beautiful.

11:00 pm - Paranoia
Ok. I must admit now that since I've bought my house I have constant paranoia. I keep expecting something bad like finding out my roof is actually paper thin and my walls are buckling and what-not. I can't seem to shake the feeling that I'm going to get bad news one day about my house. Maybe its just a form of buyers remorse. Also, I've always been an ultimate pessimist. So I guess the combination is just natural.

12:50 pm - Finally
We finally bought a house. After what seemed like forever of dead-end deals. I think we did pretty well. There is a sense of pride there when I walk through the front doors. Its amazing how much money you spend in the first two weeks of homeownership. Anyway...I'm happy and now my family has a home of our own.

01:51 pm - Why now??
My grandfather died in 1984. I was only four years old then. I didn't quite grasp the thought of him being "dead" ya know? I remember sitting in a plastic Cookie Monster chair watching all the adults walk by in a fog. I was eating baby food due to recently having my tonsils removed.
Back to present day....I'm watching America's Got Talent last night and a little boy had an act where he played piano and sang with his grandfather. I watched the act (not bad for a seven year old) and listened to the judges' comments. The two went back stage and the grandfather lifted the little boy and gave him a kiss on the cheek....And I lost it. I began to cry because I missed my "Grampa." I don't ever remember shedding a tear about this until last night. I guess things catch up with you in their own time.

11:42 am - One more turn around the bend
Okay....Here we go again. We found a house and are going under contract today. Much to my disappointment, I can't help but get excited. I don't want to get too excited because the last one still angers me. Anyway....I hope everything goes well. Wish us luck!!!

10:40 am - Still love her....
I know this might sound stupid, but my wife and I used to lie in bed at night and just talk for hours about anything and nothing. It's been a while since we even had the opportunity since our clocks are now so different. Last night, we finally got to and, I must admit, as stupid as the conversation was, I loved every minute of it. And I love you still, Angel!

11:19 am - I'm a TUF junky
I loved yesterday's episode. My wife mentioned two weeks ago that Matt Wiman scared her. I'm glad he choked that bitch unconscious. He was always running his mouth about how he was the toughest man there. Thanks Matt.

05:58 pm
We have a new closing date. It was stressed that even this date was tentative. Go figure, huh? I'm just ready to get this over with now. We bought a son a big boy bed. He is outgrowing his toddler bed. We are going to put it up in the new house once we move. It seems ever one at work has something going on this week. One guy called off tomorrow, and two others have court dates this week. Strange, but whatever. I'm beginning to second guess my thought process behind taking this position, but I'm in it now. Gotta ride it out.

03:54 pm - What is it with these people?
So closing has been pushed back to the 16th. I'm getting irritated with the whole thing again. Just when I was getting excited about everything, I get put on hold. Now our offer is in jeopardy of not being accepted. I don't think we will get denied, but if we do, it's back to square one. I don't think I can do this again.

11:10 am - Not long now
Just 7 days left till we close on our house. I have had my reservations about it, but I am now excited about it. I can hardly wait to get moved in. When I bought my first car, I was told that its so great until that first payment comes due. I have a feeling I'll be like that with the house initially. Pretty soon though, I'll get used to it. I can hardly wait. My wife and I have been married for almost 3 years, and I would say that well over 2 of them were spent living with family. I finally get to give my wife a place we can call ours. This is awesome!!

08:32 pm - A fun couple of days...
My wife and I took my son to see Thomas the Tank today. We left last night and stayed at a hotel and just got back today. He got to ride in the train and all. I thought it was a great day for him to experience. It was our birthday gift to him. Then we went to Ruby Falls and walked through the caves to the water fall. It was pretty nice. Even though it was only one night, it was good to spend some time away from home and work. Happy Birthday, Kaden!!

11:28 pm - I thought this would be fun....
I thought buying a house would be fun. Now that I'm buying one, everything is becoming a headache. From getting the inspector out to just setting up appointments. And DEADLINES!!! One week for this and 3 days for that and closing on this date. Then its all over. Yeah! Right! Now is the real fun. The lifting and the carrying and the power on on this date and the phone on on this date and mail transfer and AHHHHH!!!!! I think I'll just rent forever.

01:26 pm - Adjusting to Adulthood
So I find myself sometimes getting lost in my age. I still picture myself as being just out of high school. I tend to forget that was 10 years ago. I have to admit though...I never thought adulthood could be so challenging. Decisions get harder and nights get shorter. We've been approved for a house, but do we take it? I'm finding my groove in my job, but do I really want to stay there? Questions barely get answered before another one is waiting. Funny how I spent all those years wanting to get away from home, now I find myself wishing I could go back.

01:40 pm - random ramblings
I have often wondered if I am insane. I have this feeling sometimes that maybe life is just a bit too much for me to be expected to handle. From big decisions like "Should we have another kid?" to little ones like "Should I have the steak or the chicken?" I know life is our own to live and in life decisions are made. Some good. Some bad. Just what if I am living it wrong. Nothing to do with belief of a hereafter or a higher power or anything. Just what if I have the steak instead of the chicken and get food poisoning and never met the new boss thats going to get me that big promotion thats going to put my son through college. I hate trying to look through a third eye. Sometimes I think about things in a f***ed up way. Like no matter how long I live or who I love, I'm going to leave someone behind. Do I really want that weighing on my life? Whats going to be going through my head when I'm a vegetable on my death bed. I've heard many doctors say that your hearing is that last thing to go. Is this true? Or is this just some coping mechanism that they think will make the person standing next to you holding your hand feel better. What will I think when my wife and kids stand by my side and say there goodbyes while I still can hear them. What will I be screaming in my head? Or will I be able to understand what they are saying?

04:56 pm - Work....
Seems like its all I write about anymore. I have to pull my 84 hours over the next 7 days. I hate this part of my job. I'm really dreading getting up at 4:30 for the next 7 days. I'll probably be falling asleep by 9:00 for the next 8 - 10 nights. It sucks going to bed so early, but I can't seem to keep my ass awake much past 10:30 on nights that I work. Maybe in a couple of months I can start writing about my life again instead of work all the time.
