That Page, The New Boss, That Guy, Nascar and Football

That page is still there. I went in to check and see if it was gone through a friend's page...I am still there. I wonder what's up with that one? If it's not gone by Monday, I will try one more time to get it deleted. It's funny that I am having so many problems getting the site shut down, maybe it's a sign that I need to stay there for someone there...who knows, I will figure it out in time, I guess.

I found out last night that my new boss likes me a lot, and he thinks I am doing a great job at my second job. He seems like a pain in the butt sometimes, but it's his livelihood, while it is only my temporary job...that's no wonder. I am glad he likes me and thinks I will fit in-it seems that everyone there likes me, including a lot of the regular customers. I like that...it means that I will enjoy this environment much better than the other second job I had been working.

I have to write to that guy one last time so that he understands that I am not out to mess up his life, because now he feels disillusioned by me and what has gone on. The truth is that he created quite a bit of our relationship in his mind-and for a while, so did I. Our relationship was based on text messaging and one or two calls a week it I was lucky...nothing else, really. There was not a face to fit into this, and I just can't live like that.

You know what I need? I just need a kind, hard working, intelligent Catholic man. He doesn't have to be overzealous about religion, just truly grounded in his Faith and in his love for the Holy Trinity. I need someone who is willing to worship with me, and pray with me. No theatrics, just love and a shared faith base. Actually, I would love to have a man like Jen's hubby-who is all of these things, except not Catholic, but a definite Christian man...this man is grounded in his love for faith and family-that's the kind of guy I want...oh yeah, and he must love me-that's a given...lol

Halloween is fast approaching, and it puts me in mind of my friend's who are celebrating Samhain that night. I will pray for them...that whatever they wish, need, or want during their celebrations and rituals that night come to fruition. That is the night they celebrate the death of their god (s). They believe that they must rejoice in this, not be sad because their god will be reborn during Yule eve from the goddess...that day is ironically enough December 21...4 days before the celebrations of Christmas. I just want ALL of my friends to be very happy and content throughout the entire holiday season...no matter what they are celebrating.

Today is a nice day to go out walking. I think that I will do that before going home today. I want to clear my head before I have to hear the roar of the engines of Nascar as my parents watch the races...somehow, while I am not a fan, I am secretly giddy every time Jeff Gordon wins a race, and gets ahead in the points...hate the sport, love Jeff Gordon (usually Nascar fans say the opposite sometimes..lol)-now there is a nice handsome man-wait! He's married and his wife just had a baby this past year-DARN!!!! LOL I still hate Nascar though.

Yes, I am a football fan, although my Cincinnati Bengals need a bit of a wake up call this year. I do believe it will happen sooner or later. They are a great team, but some thing's not right with them this year. Hopefully they iron this out soon-we don't want to be defeated to badly by Pittsburgh after they way we played them last year-that would be embarrassing and insulting!! LOL

Two Soldiers

New Year's eve, I spent the evening with the American Legion. They were holding a dance for New Year's...their usual. They had an awesome band who is mainly country music, which I don't get into anymore, but this band is good, Sixpac is their name. They played their usual music, and the Lee Greenwood song. Even doing some Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney/Uncle Kracker (they were great at that one)...etc.


I got hit on by old men and danced with my father, rang in the new year wrapped in the love of my dad and my precious stepmom while we sang Auld Lang Sygne, and everyone around me told me I was beautiful.


On my way back in from the bathroom, one of the ladies who is a great friend to my stepmom, and a wonderful person pulls me over to the side next to her eighty odd year old husband to introduce me to her son (whom I had never met before) and his wife. While I was standing there talking to them, a young man about twenty three or so was talking to the eighty year old.
The elder had been in World War II, and the younger had just come home safely from a tour of Iraq.


"Thank you for serving our country, sir, I am honored to know you. I am proud to be an American along with you", said the younger man.


"No, young man, it is I who should be thanking you for what you have done over there right now." Says the elder.


"Sir, I am an American. It is my duty to protect what you gained when you fought for this country. I was only doing what I had to" says the younger man.


At this point, there are tears in the eyes of the younger man as he shook the elder's frail and aging hand-pride was in both of their eyes...and I began to cry myself as I heard these two veterans thanking and honoring each other.


After New year's hugs to both of them, I turned to the younger man and said these words:
"I say this to all of you...Thank you, you have no idea what your duty and dedication to this nation means to me, and I am proud to stand before you right this moment."


The reply was this: "I was only doing my duty."

***This did in fact happen New Year's Eve, 2007. I don't care what anyone's politics concerning this war are. Just remember, through the ages, men and women have fought, bled and died for countries because they felt that it was worth it to do so...remember our fallen heroes. Remember as we go about our daily lives that they are out there.

Thank you Nej for your post, reminding me of this one from Memorial Day Weekend, I had written it in that site that will be pulled down soon, and this needed saving....

Welcome

This is going to be a secondary blog to my original...this will contain other information for me to share myself with others, and give updates on me. I am just starting this one out, and this will be a great outlet so that my other blog can be my writing page, and maybe later on, I will include poetry somewhere else-here, or another blog here.

I like this blog site, I didn't realize that I could have multiple blogs in one place. It makes things interesting for me. I can now have two places to take myself-here on this site and Live Journal, and there I think I will be as much as here from now on...sounds like a plan.

Concerning my Myspace and the other site, I may end up slowing down on those two sites. I can't bring myself to dismantle my Myspace because I have some awesome friends there, so I will keep that as a poetry place and a place for those friends to connect with me.

As for here, I am looking forward to having things more organized and in one place for the time being!!!
