Wow.... What a crazy month this has been for me.

Well first, I mentioned befor that the bar I worked at had closed. Well it opened back up 2 weeks later and I was able to get all my shifts back. That was wonderful. But in the interim of the bar being closed I went out and found another bartending position, so now I have been working at 3 different bars! Takes up all my time!

In the meantime, I have started dating again, and my special someone happens to work at one of the bars I work at, so even on my time off, I find myself in the bar again trying to spend time with my significant other, since we don't have the same schedule, and we have ZERO days off together, so we try to catch what time we can. So that has been a little exhausting.

Inbetween everything else, I had to move, so that was not an easy task with everything going on in my life. Well, I moved in with an old friend who needed a roommate, so I am very comfortable here. Took a while to get totally settled but now I am and everything has a place. So that is off my mind finally!

As for the Xena forum..... I MISS it! I see the Xenathon going strong and really wish I had time right now to participate, but I am lucky if I can even get one full episode in a week right now with the way my schedule has been. I will participate when I can and look forward to seeing the next season of the Xenathon going! I will make it a point to try to get to that!

Ignorance
Current mood: amused
Category: Life

Ignorance...... How do people do it? You go through life just being yourself, not hurting others, helping when you can, and loving your family and friends, then you get attacked (verbally or otherwise) with someone's stupidity and ignorance.

I can honestly say that I am a nice guy, and I have many friends that will agree with me. I don't feel that I have done anything to anyone that would cause someone to challange my intergrity, values, and beliefs, but yet it happens.

I am not this person's cause of the drama they have in their life. The drama happened from the choices and decisions that they made themselves. No one else had anything to do with it. This person is unwilling to take blame for those decisions they made in life, but what do they do? They blame, not only me, but other people as well as to why things didn't turn out the way they wanted. Where does this get them? Does it make them feel like a better person? If it does, then hell, blame me. I have strong shoulders and know that I am not affected by ignorance, so have at it. At least I can say that I sleep fine at night.

Basically, I wish the world didn't have ignorace. As sad as it is, I pity those people who are ignorant. I for one, will never let it happen to me, and if I do, please, someone slap me back to reality!

Anyway, just needed to vent!

Well, I finally got my laptop, so I am back. I plan on going through the Xena forums on my next day off and see where I can contribute to discussions. I am really looking forward to it, and also starting some new topics. I will be taking time to watch my Xena dvds again so I can start getting new ideas for topics. So lets see what we can do about havng fun in the forum!

On other notes, I am still at my dad's, and I am quite comfortable here. I am actually enjoying it! I come home from work late at night most nights, and open the fridge for a snack and find a plate of dinner waiting for me! I came home the other day and my dad had all my laundry done and folded! I was amazed! LOL..... He is definately gonna spoil me before I have to move out again! LOL

So anyway, hope everyone is good and looking forward to see you all in the forums!

Well, its been about 2 weeks since I have been online. I just moved back in with my father. My relationship went sour and my partner and I have split up. The computer didn't belong to me, so I need to purchase one, which I should have within the next 2 weeks. I really miss the Xena forum and checking in on it right now, I love seeing it come back to life!!!!! I am missing so much!! But anyway, I will try to check back within the next few days. Hope everyone is doing great. Miss you all!

I just re-watched a fantastic movie called Playing By Heart. The movie revolves around six different story lines and the trials of findinglove, trust, commitment, and finally getting to know one another. We have the party goer, the adulter, the person who refuses to love, a mother/son rekindled, and a couple who has been married for 40 years dealing with a past affair. This movie was a great whirlwind of laughter and tears. We all have been able to connect with at least one of these characters. With a great cast including Angelina Jolie, Gillian Anderson, Gena Rowlands, Dennis Quiad, Ryan Phillipe, Ellen Burstyn, Anthony Edwards, Madeleine Stowe and Jon Stewart, you are sure to know that there was great acting! If you enjoy dialogue driven movies and love stories, I highly recommend this one!
