Sex... love... uh oh's

Round two, bitches!

That's right... I'm ready for round two. This round may not be as exciting as round one, but I have shit to say dammit. haha! At least I think I do. I mean c'mon, I always have something to say. Actually on a serious note, I've been thinking so much about something horrible that happened here recently. This guy who is bipolar and schizophrenic shot and killed 5 people here on August 18th. Two of them were police officers who had both retired, and came out of retirement to be cops again, there was also a 17 year old kid, a 22 year old father of a 2 week old baby, and a 54 year old man father of 3 sons, one who had to come home from Iraq for his dad's funeral. I won't go into details about what happened, you can read the articles if you want, but man... for some reason, i can't get over it. I didn't know any of these 5 men personally, but I still can't stop thinking about all of them. The 2 cops were just doing their job, they're both husbands and fathers, respectable men that were out putting their lives on the line to protect us. The 17 year old kid didn't even have a chance to live yet, he was just working at a motorcycle shop doing something he loved and died doing it. Same with the 22 year old, innocently working at a motorcycle shop to support his wife and new baby. And the 54 year old man, worked for the Department of Transportation, again, just trying to provide for his family. Five innocent, hard working men died for no reason. No reason at all. It makes me sick. It's amazing how much this city has come together for their families though. They all had funerals this week and each their funerals had well over 2,000 people in attendance. The processions took over 45 minutes to pass and they drove throughout the city with hundreds more people on the streets saluting and waving them by. All the flags were at half staff, and everyone drove with their headlights on all week. It truly breaks my heart. Michael King, Richard Smith, David Fisher, Garrett Iversen, and Ben Lopez may you all rest in peace.

Long time no see!

Well hello there blog world! Wow, it seems like forever since I've done this, even though it's been what? Like 6 weeks or so? I figured I better get back on it before I completely lose my mind. It's amazing what a difference blowing off steam in the blog world makes, especially when you're not getting laid! But enough about that, for now. I've actually been really busy, work is hectic. It's going well, stressful, but well. I just got a rather significant promotion, which is always a good thing, the raise is soon to come... it's complicated and don't feel like spending the next hour writing about something so boring. So, there ya go. Work's good.

I'm also coaching cheerleading now, youth cheerleading, i have 10 girls on my squad age 4 (yes, 4) to 8 years old. We are three weeks into the season and just had our first game, and my first migraine of the season. It was a rough day. I never ever in a million years dreamt that being a cheerleading coach for these little girls would be so fucking hard! I had an assistant, she sucked. I had to fire her, she wouldn't show up and when she did she wouldn't do shit, i wanted to punch her in her face, but figured that probably wouldn't set a very good example so I held back and told her her services were no longer required. Well, not in so many words, but you get it. So, now it's just me and 10 very little cheerleaders. AND... believe it or not, I haven't had a drink in like... well, a very long time. I don't even remember when. I haven't even been out in weeks. I go to work, coach, and sleep. That's my life now.

About the no sex thing. It's actually by choice in a way, because the current options I have (since I have no time to go out and meet anyone) are Mama's Boy and Chester. Which both had a less than average performance the last time I saw them. Let's just say it's 30 minutes of my life I'll never get back. There is a new guy, well, kind of. We'll call him... Tom, as in peeping Tom. haha! So, the way we met is I was walking through a department store in the mall on the way to get my hair highlighted and he worked the security cameras in this store, so he saw me on camera and came out and started talking to me. Kinda weird, I know, but that's how it happened. So, Tom, is cute. I wouldn't say he's hot, but he's good looking. Great body, ex-marine, trying to get into the Sheriff's dept. nearby. We met right before football (and cheerleading) season started, so we went out a few times, then cheerleading started and my free time went from plenty to none. He didn't like that I don't have time for him anymore, so we don't talk much, but he still calls. I told him the season only lasts through October, so we'll see if he's patient enough to stick it out. Cop says it's not that I don't have time for him, it's that I don't want to make time for him. Which, I guess in a way is kinda true, but on weeknights when I have practice I come home, eat dinner, do the dishes and go to bed. Then get up for work, go to practice, eat dinner, do the dishes go to bed. That's my Tues-Fri, Saturdays we have games, and Sundays and Mondays I'm working on miscellaneous stuff I couldn't get to during the week, and I've started working on our routine for competition. So yeah, I'm sure I could fit in some time somewhere in there... but god dammit I'm too tired to do the whole awkward dating thing right now. I just want to be able to get laid and get out. Is it too much to ask?? I think not!

So, the last time I got some was from Chester. Very disappointing. I called him and asked him to come over one night, he was at work and could only leave for a very short time. He didn't get here until like 4am, and was out by 4:20. Normally I could work with that. But I was in a dead sleep when he got here, and he went right to it. I know you've heard the expression about pre-heating the oven... yeah I was at about 100 degrees and he tried to bake a fuckin thanksgiving turkey without pre-heating. So, yeah, it sucked. That was 20 minutes of sleep I was sorry I missed out on. Mama's Boy came over like a month ago as well, I really don't know what he thought was going to happen because he came over acting all cocky and totally turned me off. Then he was trying to charm me and all he did was make my stomach turn, he kissed me and I reached and got his keys and told him to drive carefully. That's what he gets for assuming. Dumb ass. And that's that for the sex life, or lack thereof. In other news, FBI is getting married. Yes, married. His fiance is 8 weeks pregnant, and they're getting married October 1st. They announced it a week ago. I'll make sure to buy them a gift. And who can forget Patterson? Oh yes, I heard from him a couple days ago. He apologized (again) for everything that happened between us and said he was so sorry for the way he treated me, and the way things worked out and wanted to know if he can see me again. Sure, come pick me up at about 8:00, i live about 1300 miles east of you. He didn't know I moved, so then he offered to buy me a ticket to see him. Thanks, but no thanks. That's one road I don't want to travel again. There ya have it, the last 6 weeks of my life in a nutshell.

Oh, one more thing, I do have a new best friend. His name is Jesus (heh-soos, not gee-zus), it's the back massager my mom bought me. And yes, I named him. He's awesome. We're actually spending some quality time together right now, as I type. And no, you perves, there is nothing going on sexually between Jesus and I. I would fall out of my chair if I tried. haha! jk No but really, this thing is awesome. Definitely my new best friend. ; )
