bad year (so far)

[talonracer]

Damn its been one of those years........started off with a bang. Lost a 60k a year job due to the crappy tech sector. Flush one electronics degree down the crapper!! So working in industrial work again. Where do I start? Blew the engine in my Talon, mostly due to a faulty TB seal which gave me a form of "water injection"- not the good kind either. Still runs good mostly one cylinder tho. Finally got the LT1 Camaro I always wanted. Well now I find out the previous owner may have fried the tranny, then poured in one of those quick fixes right before he traded it. Enter me happy as a clam I found a '95 with only 40k original miles. *SIGH*. What else?? My dad just was diagnosed with a very bad form of skin cancer, they are cutting him apart to get rid of it. The past few weeks have been spent by me talking him out of killing himself. My beloved daughter, four years old, grew up away with me most of her life. Mom moves close to me again. I get to see her all the time. One thing tho she keeps calling me her mom's BF's name. Plus they are moving back to Alabama now, her mom broke up with her BF. *SIGH* Finally met a real cool girl after two very painful divorces, things are going great. Been dating for about 8 months. She just came back from a cruise she had planned for a year, came back a changed woman. First thing she did was dump me, I'm part of her past. No warning. See ya! Due to the fact that I now have to travel in my job now, and my ex wife is moving- I also lose my dog sitter- so I have to give up my two dogs. Can't afford to board them for weeks while I'm gone. BTW the bulk of this stuff happened in the last month. What's even more bizarre is I'm not even depressed, bad things happen to me so frequently it doesn't even phase me anymore. Just kinda expect it. Haven't even scratched the surface here really. Doesnt' that make you all feel better??

Geez, I feel for you. The last 2-3 years of my life have pretty much been living hell. Things are just now starting to look positive, but it's been one hell of a ride to this point. Not a ride I would recommend to anybody else.

But it's kinda like Tom Hanks in that movie Castaway. He realizes that the love of his life, the thing he has held onto for the entire time on the island, the thing that kept him alive started a new life, one which he was not a part of. And then he says, 'I've finally realized now, that you just have to keep breathing. Tomorrow the sun will rise, and who knows what the tide will bring.'

It might sound trite, but you can't ever give up, never ever.

Must have been chick logic.
Best thing to do, go fuck her best friend

At least you have your health..............

Don't know what else to say other than 'that's life'. It's more than a bitch if stuff like the above happens to you, but it's even more of a bitch if you throw your arms up and give up, which it sounds like you haven't done. Never give up, never give in.

Cold comfort, but i look at you and say shit, now there's someone worse off than me, but you can bet your ass there is someone out there who has it worse than you.

I hope things turn around for you soon.

Well I'm kinda optomistic things weel. Take today..I actually fixed the tranny in my Camaro. The previous owner kinda messed with stuff he shouldn't have. Bless my mechanical ability............with that I began putting the new motor in my Talon. Plus my GF called today, kinda hinted she was just tired last night. Went to have lunch with her and sent her flowers, melted her heart.....now going over tonight. Like I said I'm not depressed, you tend to hit rough patches in life-its what you do with them rough patches that makes you the person you are.

Amen to that.

Chin is up bro............seems my GF finally decided that it was the end. Think its because she now has a pic of her in another guy's arms on her desk now.......and couldn't stop mentioning her "freinds" name every 10 seconds while we talked?? HMMMMM
New rule for me...........If your GF goes on a cruise with a bunch of freinds to an exotic place she WILL bang one of them-even if they guy lives 600 miles away and a relationship would be impossible.
Damn my life DOES suck huh?? lol
