CATAGORIES: GENERAL NONSENSE — Spazticus @ 11:50 am

Well all, it’s been a wild ride for me the last year. All the events I am going to tell you and many I won’t prior most likely caused my lack of blogging. So here it goes…

The first thing that happened was I was fired/quit my job last year. I say fired/quit because I was out the door on my own anyway and they just pulled the trigger first. Although it was stressful this was only one event in a series. Alone this was not a big deal. I moved on and became a consultant and work for myself. Things started to look up after the first contract I got. It paid well and I had plenty of time off. But more fun was just around the corner.

For some time my ex-wife and I had not been getting along. This happens in almost all marriages and like gas I thought this would pass. Given all the stress that was going on related to work it seemed logical. I was wrong. I was going for my last week on a job in Atlanta and right before I left she asked for a divorce and said she would be moving out before I came home. I was a bit floored and a bit relieved. This all came about because I asked about one number on our cell phone bill.

At that point I knew what was going on. I had been gone a lot and she didn’t like it. So instead of telling me she had gone out and gotten a boyfriend. Needless to say she is one of the most selfish people I know. Even though deep down inside I knew it was best we split up you can’t help but go on an emotional ride. I came back from Atlanta to an empty house with a lot of the furniture missing. The one saving grace I had was my dog.

Wait it gets even worse. As a result of her moving out I had to put my dog and best friend down. I must say that this was and still is the hardest thing I have had to do. It took several months before I got right with this. I miss that little dog every day and to continue without her was very hard given what I was going through. She was the only thing in my life that loved me without question no matter what. (Insert tears here)

All of you who are dog owners understand what those furry creatures can mean to you. Because she was so special to me I was in the room with her when she got put down. She had done so much for me I owed it to her. I didn’t want her last memories to be of strangers in a cold room on a metal table. Just didn’t seem right to me.

Well I sat around for a month feeling sorry for myself and thinking all this through then got mad as hell. I decided it was time to stop all this and start living again. Started going out with some friend drinking and having a good time. Picked up a few chicks went on a few dates and found out what life was about again.

Here is where it gets good again. I started a new contract that I am still on. Went on a date with this girl I meet in the internet. The first time we meet face to face it was like we had been friends for years. We talked for six hours nonstop. The next day I so wanted to call her but knew that I shouldn’t. Found out later she was going through the same thing. Well we started to see more and more of each other and I started to spend the night from time to time and then one day I just never left.

Why I didn’t leave is an interesting story. One day I got a frantic phone call from her on my way home. She had discovered we had mice in the house. I said don’t’ panic I will pick up some traps on the way home. When I got home I found her standing by the dishwasher intently watching the front of it. This is where she had seen the little creature. Knowing the answer I asked her if she had been standing there since she talked to me. I got a panic stricken yes and she informed me I was staying until they were all gone but don’t get used to it cause I was going home after I exterminated them. So I set out to catch the little mice and got them all. It seems in the two weeks I was there she had gotten used to me being around and didn’t want me to go. Well I kind of got used to being treated right so I didn’t want to go either and never spent another night in my house. Which I sold a few months later.

Many happy moths have gone by since. I finally got my divorce which was a fun process. However in that time I had grown to love her. Something I wasn’t sure I could do again until I meet her. Then a few words from my dad started to echo in my head. Being a wise man he once told me you will recognize true love when you find it. The hard part is not screwing it up. So I started to think about it. I knew she wanted to marry me but was not egger to even talk about it much given what had happened to me. Then those words from my dad echoed in my head again and I knew what I had to do. I truly love this woman and want to marry her.

So I started to think about how I was going to ask her. Then it came to me. All of our friends were coming to my divorce party why not then. So I did…she cried and said yes. I don’t think I have been happier in my life. I have feelings for her that I never had felt with my first wife. I knew I had truly done the right thing this time.

So it’s been a month since we got engaged and we just got back from vacation. A cruise filled with drinking, gambling, fun and fornication. What more could I ask for right now. I went from a very low point in my life to the best times I can ever think of. So kids that’s what’s been happening in a nut shell.

Before I forget I just wanted to thank those of you who helped me during the dark part of this story. Bill, Keith, Tommy without you guys I don’t know how I would have made it. I owe you guys and thanks again for putting up with me.

Any Juggernutt that would like to come to see me get married is more than welcome. Just drop me a line.

Here ends my story and a chance for a life a never thought I would have. We will be married 10-4-08 and will be trying to have kids right after that. Sorry for the grammatical and spelling errors but I whipped this out quick.
