Dry Your Eyes

You're well out of order now, this is well out of town. This post has a hint of that to it. It's playing right now on iTunes, and honestly I'm having a hard time parting with it. (by a band called 'The Streets' if anyone is curious) So, I went from Kim offering me the digits to her telling me she has a boyfriend. I have NO idea what the hell is up with that, thus the first line in this entry. I'm not really upset about it, but the song has come across me a couple of times today. I just don't get women. Speaking of women, I have to give a shout out to a couple of cool ones in life who apparently peek in on me and my blog sometimes. First, I'll shout out to Jo. I should say Joanna Huckins. I go WAY back with Jo, way back in the Cancun days. The early Cancun days at that. I have honestly always thought that she is the coolest chick that I've ever met. We seem to have a lot in common, and while I think she might think that she was only in my life for a while because she was always around Tom, the truth is that I admired her from the start. She's a good soul, a bit of a partier (at times, *cough* *cough*), and pretty thoughtful from my experiences. She was one of those people that affected you in a way that she'd never know unless you tell her. Maybe our words weren't at a high count when we hung out all the time back in the day Jo, but believe me I'm glad that you're back in my lime light, if only through an internet window and email from time to time. The other shout out goes to Karen Peterson. Karen is a very empathetic, kind soul that is understanding of any problem that you have, no matter how miniscule it seems to you when you look back on it. She listened to my skin-deep problems over and over. There were many times when I felt like she and her boyfriend (now husband) Mark could relate to me when there weren't others around that were mature enough to handle it. Karen, I was proud to be a part of your wedding, and I hope you are as happy today as you were pretty that day. I appreciate you guys, and though it's not much, here's a blogs away to you both. These two girls really never got to know me on a deep level. Honestly, most people are unaware of my past horrors. I don't really get into the real problems behind my frowns. Some people thought that I was struggling with the job search, school, and personal affairs of the heart back when I spent my time with these two. What they didn't know was that the father figure in my life (other than my dad but who raised me just as much, my grandfather) passed away that year, and I had a very difficult, well tumultuous honestly, time getting over that. I was a miserable human being for a while there, even though most people didn't know it. I keep most really important things like that to myself. Almost every friend that I have, except for one I think, have no idea about my childhood or things like that. I just let out hot air to cover the things that are really bothering me. I'm just weird like that. Well, I've not got a lot of news. I might go to the UT-BAMA game this weekend with Daniel. I am gonna go to the BTE concert on Thursday as well. School has calmed down a little since the midterm hell. It's gonna get busy again next week though. It's gonna be absolute hell. Oh, well, I kinda did hit on this chick tonight. It was funny. She parallel parked next to Brad who had pulled me from my group meeting to give me some canned veggies he had brought from home (that I just realized I have to go get from my car, ha ha, typical dj) and anyway, I got out of the way from Brad's trunk just in case. So she pulls in and we started chatting. I left a cute little note on her windshield. Don't remember what it said, but I remember it was clever and Brad laughed. Kinda fun. I don't get to do that often 'cause I'm so busy. That's about all that happened today worth telling. That was barely worth it, but what can I say? I'm just bored to tears with work these days. Somebody just needs to tell me 'dry your eyes mate'.
