sad
I'm feeling so shitty lately. I want to run away, somewhere where no one will ever find me. not my friends, not my family. I feel stuck. like I will never get to live out what I wanted. its time to realize that my life will never be what I had hope it would be. and I have no one to blame but my self.

First of all a lot of people feal sad or depressed around holiday time of the year, it is when statisticly there are the most suicides. I know I'm fealing that way a little bit myself so that maybe affecting how you are fealling. Not to mention that some people suffer from what is called winter depression. That is caused from lack of sunshine or intense sunshine and is often caused by going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark, that could factor into to a little bit.

But what is important to remember is that most peoples lives are not what they wanted or how they wanted them. A lot of people have family that they don't like. What is important is that there are two decisions that can be made 1 is to try and get the life you want (verry hard to do with out a little luck) Or try to be happy with the life you have and try to improve it (again not as easy as it sounds). There is nothing wrong with being one place in your life and trying or wanting to be somewhare else just try to think about it in a possitive light instead of being sad about it. I wish you luck with dealing with how you are fealing.

Yes, you're at the end and you have no time to make lemonade out of lemons! Just give up today!

COUGH COUGH COUGH SLAP SLAP SLAP

There. Learn from me, and from yourself at some point in time, and know that it's never too late for a new beginning. Not to sound all cliche but it's really true.

Hang in there Imk.

Can't hold yourself to some mental list you made years ago before adulthood got in the way. Trust me, I'm older and have been beating myself up that much longer. You must be doing something right, check out the comments that have come in a short time. : )
jenks - 12/14/06 22:49
I also got a lecture last night about how I am too old to have kids and that it's my fault since "you made your choice so deal with it". That did not make me very happy.

point is I doubt life ever turns out the way we expect it to- but that's ok and we make the best of it- and hopefully it turns out even better. :)
des - 12/14/06 22:45
your life isn't over yet kiddo. I think theres still plenty of time for reaching goals. I'll be here to help make it happen.
jenks - 12/14/06 22:45
ummmm.... come bake cookies this weekend? Cookies make everything better!

I'll be back... sorta... at bgh... next year...

and duh, you can still have lunch with tony and paul, and one of these days I will succeed in getting (e:chica) to come eat too...
imk2 - 12/14/06 22:42
and then jenks you will be gone from there so soon and then who will i have lunch with? and that makes me sad too :(
jenks - 12/14/06 22:40
That's it! Time for an RPCI lunchtime intervention! Stat!

Everything looks great!
matthew - 12/13/06 09:33
Oh My! What a BEEutiful tree. I just finished trimming my tree, we should encourage all (e:strip)pers to post pics of their holiday decorations!
mrmike - 12/13/06 09:21
You got beef and you're not sharing? Gasp!
Nice decorations, seriously. Made my pitiful little table top tree develop a Charlie Brown complex.
jenks - 12/13/06 07:24

party and nasty boobs

thanks (e:enknot) for the great party! it was loads of fun, although i don't recall you getting birthday spanks with the wooden spoon. is (e:lilho) loosing sight of her responsibilities?

and also, now you can be sure that if youre ever stranded with me in the arid desert; dehydrated, dilerious and near death, you can always rely on my repulsive mom boobs to miraculously save us from certain death.

i don't think i've ever had a man say eewwww, with a look of complete and utter disgust, while looking at my chest. thanks for giving me a complex i never knew i had.

enknot - 12/13/06 18:46
Oh come on! I was just trying to draw the friend line! Who looks at a buddies boobies with lust, or ever really? Not me, that's who!

Um, I'm sure your boobies are just fine.... well, you never can tell until you see the saucer part... could be all groody and blotchy, but they've feed at least one human and she's still alive, and they seem to keep (e:des) entertained well enough. Could be like freakstick alien boobs with an extra nipple... ooh! Man... all this talk about boobies... I have some calls to make...


Ok ok, sorry about the mom boobs comment (I was waiseted, it was my birthday party!!!).
des - 12/12/06 22:47
Just for the record I think THEY'RE (they’re being a contraction of the words They and Are) absolutely flippin fantastic.

jenks - 12/10/06 12:46
I love you tony, but I'm with yvonne here. Apologize right now young man! Respect the boobies!
metalpeter - 12/10/06 11:59
I thought I saw a brief spanking of Tony. I think Tony may have even grabed the spoon not sure but maybe those two will shed some more light on this situation.

secret santa and trial update
i got a message from (e:ladycroft) asking about who she got for secret santa since the party she thought we were exchanging presents at was tomorrow.

the party at which presents will be exchanged is the party (e:pmt) is supposed to have for the holidays, sometime between xmas and new years.

since i had the unexpected trial that i had to sit though all this week, i have not been able to do quite a few things i had on my schedule. i will get to everyone's secret santa info out next week. well, actually i'm not the one who will be doing the selecting, but you will all get post-its about who got whom.

the trial has ended. the defendant was found not guilty on all 7 counts. 2 attempted murder charges, 2 unlawful possession of deadly weapon, 2 assault charges and one menacing charge. although all of the jurors thought the guy most likely did it, there wasnt enough evidence to convict him of the charges.

i could not even believe the DA even decided to bring this to trial. it was such a weak case. no weapon, no motive, no identification of the vehicle from which the shootings occurred, and only one eye witness, the plaintiff who was shot, as the only evidence. AND on top of it all, the plaintiff had pending charges against him for shooting the defendants cousin just this past month. both of them were in custody at the erie county holding center.

it was kinda neat at the end of the trial because the the supreme court judge came in to the jury room and chatted with us and answered any questions we may have had. like why was there so little evidence, and why werent we allowed to know certain things, and why were things done the way they were. he was mad cool and this way an interesting experience. we were treated like royalty. every time we entered or left the room everyone stood up. everyone stared at us (which could be good or bad) and avoided us in the hallways.

monday its back to the same ole grind. trying to catch up with everything that might have fallen apart while i was gone.

the holidays are coming up and i have no idea as to what to buy anyone for christmas. my daughter dosnt deserve anything, not because of her behavior, but because of her grades. i know she wants the new zelda game, and thankfully they make it for gamecube still. she will definitely not be getting a wii, nor will she be getting a replacement MP3 that i smashed to pieces when she pissed me the hell off. NOR will she be going to japan in the summer as promised if she got good grades. i have never met a lazier person in my entire life.

plus my mother,s birth day is coming up on the 11th. i am only buying presents for....my mother, my stepfather, my daughter, my b/f, and my secret santa. that's it, 5 people. not like the average american, that shops for like....20? what is the exact number for that? anyone know?

if i had time, i would have painted some pots for my co workers and filled them with stuff. they would have made such cute presents. i also had to turn down an order for twelve pots for xmas, because of time constraints. (e:pmt) you should consider yourself lucky that you one of the only original yvonne pots out there! (not that you care all that much, but i like to think so!)

ok, peace out peeps. i shall see you at the party tomorrow. how much money should i bring with me? how much will the drinks cost?

mrmike - 12/09/06 14:13
Did jury for six weeks a thousand years ago. I think it was the arrogance of the attorneys in wasting my time left me resentful of the process.

I'm only buying gifts for the kids and bottles of wine for my folks, former in laws and the ex. That's it. You're not alone in that regard, IMK. See ya tonight.
jenks - 12/09/06 10:20
Yeah I don't know why everyone hates jury duty, I always thought it would be kind of cool.
