Forever Hate 2008, Always Fine 2009

  • Mood: Cheerful

So I sit at this computer, and think on the year it’s has been. As always I looked at my journal entries around this same time last year to gauge what I was thinking. I laugh to myself for the simple fact it’s vastly different today than it was yesteryear. It’s been a banner year [dripping with sarcasm] for me!! Started January on the decline of my marriage, on into it’s disintegration in March. April was a month of scaling back and recovery. In May I treated myself to a trip to Sin City. At the end of June I again traveled to Phoenix to be with people that cared about me. In July I tattooed myself with my mantra: Keep Digging. I used it to buoy myself in times of deep depression. Then it became a chant and a running joke with my social network. For the entire month of August, I spent it living with friends instead of the house. So rejuvenating to be around positive people!! Most of September I spent in the Philippines for my father’s wedding. It was an extraordinary period of personal growth, and recovery. In October I had a paradigm shift in my attitude. November was a time of preparation. December (now) I moved out from my house that I’m currently selling into an apartment with my sister. And that’s where I’m at. I’ll forever hate 2008, and I’ll always [be] fine 2009!!

Let's Dance

The other week, I was driving to my 2 nd job at Malarky’s Sports Grill. Wednesday to be exact. I noticed a man standing at a bus sign waiting for a bus. I recognized the man right away. It was Kenny, The Dancing Wild Man of Factoria. It’d been a minute since I’ve seen him on the streets of Issaquah, I was growing concerned that something awful happened to him. I was thankful to find him once again, and within the same area I “met” him the first time… hilarious story. I remember distinctively. It was my first summer I spent in Issaquah. The sun was out, so relatively warm. I was bombing around in the Sapphire Sled [an arctic blue, 2004 Acura RSX Type S] with the windows down, the tunes up. I was stopped at the traffic light on the corner of Front Street and NW Gilman Blvd; the busiest intersection. From out-the-cuts, I heard someone screaming! I pull off my shades immediately. I whip my head around trying to seek out the source of the noise. I turn down the radio as I desper...

Manic Monday, Terrible Tuesday, Wonderful Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, and Finally Friday

What a roller coaster week I have had! To start off the week was a manic Monday. After work on Monday , I did a WinCo run with WCP. Always entertaining. Tuesday was terrible. Started off by being tardy for work, so I treated myself to Tully's before posting up. And... in my experience, when you start off a day like that, any attempt to speed up or make up that half-step, half-tick, never happens. For inexplicable reason, you are now out-of-step with the Universe, and like fucking hell you're gonna make it back up. Never. Fails. I was late to meetings, I was late to a gym class I'm regularly early for, and the list goes on. In fact, I decided on that day instead of seeking out my dream girl of a svelte body, superior intelligence, endless energy, and with a litany of characteristics to make any fairy godmother proud I made the wide-sweeping declaration that I wanted this instead. A 2-ton, yoga pants wearing, 45 year old, bitter, divorcee that is one more named cat f...

End of an Era

UPDATE: 1-17-2019 I purchased my own domain of Carlos Bayne, so please follow my blog posts by click on this link here . I was haphazardily introduced to another blog site, Tumblr, because a friend on Facebook moved a thread to an account titled: I Heart Gary. I am able to blog each component of my life instead of having one blog and having to search through it. I realize it's an end of an era, but it must done. You can find my posts now at ...
