Ho hum 2007-06-25 02:23:14 So the stbx goes away on a little mini-vacation with her old man.. it fits, trust me. Anyway, before she leaves everything is all weird and sticky between us. She's always talking to me.. constantly IM'ing and little phone calls here and there.. Like people do when they are interested in each other. Then she goes away on this trip. Basically they go off to the woods and she is totally isolated. Okay, I tell myself, this is it. She'll go away and find love and that will be that. Couple of quiet days go by and I'm chewing my fingers off then I chill out and everything is cool. Then a couple days later it is Saturday and she calls me. Everything back into the blender. Puree. The call was nice but it pulled me right back in. Then some more days go by and she comes back. I catch her online and she says she wants to 'see' me. Well seeing is a lot more than seeing between us.. and I have seen some sights. Anyway, so she comes over and I starting asking d
Mid-June Update 2007-06-15 07:52:35 Not a whole lot going on lately. The stbx and I are still doing some kind of weird dance. I guess its not super uncommon for people who are divorced or divorcing to have a better relationship than they had when they were together and married. Anyway, that is more or less how it is with the stbx. Oh, I got notification of the official big D day. August 9. I'm not happy about it, but I can't stop it so I have to just accept it. I guess sooner or later everything will fall into place. I've been messing around smoking clove cigarettes. I was away from work in training and one of those days I was in a store and there they were and on an impulse I bought a pack. I smoked half the pack that day and the other half the next. Then yesterday I went and bought another pack and smoked all of them. My throat and lungs feel like shit and I'm hoping that will be enough to deter me from keeping this up. I don't want to start smoking again. I quit back in 93 so it is pr Read more:Update
Happy B Day to ME! 2007-05-31 09:33:25 Yep, this Sunday is my birthday.. gonna be the big three eight.. 38.. 2 more to 40. It's been a wild journey and I've seen a lot, and I'm still standing (sitting, whatever). I don't know what the future holds, in fact I have no interest in knowing ahead of time, but it is a wild time to be alive. I bought myself an iPod (the 80gb video model) and I've been playing with it since I got it. The first day I don't think I took it off except for when I took a shower and slept. Last night I put a couple of movies on it so now I'm getting a more full experience.. lol. Anyway, work is busy, the stbx is still floating around on the periphery, I'm going to be in another wedding this Saturday, and I have training next week. Busy busy.. well, better to be busy than not. Read more:Happy
Isn't it Funny... 2007-05-15 07:20:49 ... how people can just suddenly appear into (or disappear from) your life? Sometimes it's someone you know well, that you see all the time, that decides they've had enough and departs.. but the really wild ones are when people you haven't seen for years all suddenly start popping back into your life around the same time. What makes that happen? Kismet? It is just uncanny. Within the span of a month 3 people I hadn't seen in over 10 years suddenly appeared back in my life. Today I was chatting online with someone who I hadn't typed to in about 5 years. It made me think of the line in the new Spiderman.. where do these guys keep coming from? You see, you never know what the future holds.. so don't even try to predict. Odds are, you're wrong. Things with the stbx are still confusing. She came over (and over and over again.. sorry) and we were, umm, hanging out. That was great.. good time. Then she comes and gets me and takes me to the movies. I Read more:Funny
Badass Pigeon 2007-05-08 05:09:48 Yesterday I saw something peculiar. I had to run out to the store at lunch time and as I was leaving I saw a pigeon standing out in the road. The road is a small side street but has several businesses and an apartment complex on it so it sees somewhat regular activity. It is also very wide so the pigeon wasn't out in the middle, but it was pretty far away from the side. Anyway, this bird was one strange character. When cars would come by it wouldn't budge. I mean, it wasn't dead or anything. I saw it walking around and it was clearly a real bird (or the most incredible knock-off ever). So, no biggie, I avoid the bird and go to the store. On the way back the bird is now on my side of the street. So I slow down and avoid him but in the rearview I see that the Ford Explorer behind me has decided to either: a) run over the bird or b) scare the bird into flight. Well, this bird is suicidal or stunned or just stupid because it doesn't move. The Explorer swerves to
Maiden Voyage 2007-06-27 04:30:17 Yesterday I heard back from the park where I was going to do my community service hours so I finished the assembly on my electric bike and decided to take it for a spin. The tires needed air but I wanted to take a spin so I took it out anyway. It was pretty interesting and I got a lot of looks from people who apparently had never seen an electric bicycle before. Hey! That guy is moving his bike without pedaling.. magic! Oooh! So this little ride went fine and I decided to go down the road and put air in the tires. I got all the way to the Circle K and decided to go to manual mode for manueverability. The bike was in one of the strenuous gears so I slid it to one where I could actually pedal and pushed down on the pedal and *POP* there goes the chain. Broken. Wow, that sucks. So I put air in the tires and start the long walk back. Ouch. Today I'll slip out to the store and see if I can find a replacement. I wound up riding my 'normal' bike to the park which is ab Read more:Maiden

One Month to Go 2007-07-09 07:24:03 First off, about my last post. I am a total idiot. For whatever reason I got it in my head that I needed a chain for the pedaling side for my bike to operate. Well, duh, if you look at the damn thing you can see that the side with the motor has its own chain which is attached to the back wheel. I walked it back home for nothing. Current events are more interesting lately. I have completely stopped communicating with the stbx. I found out that her sugar daddy bought a house and she is moving in with him and that did it for me. I also realized that every time I spoke with her or communicated with her that I just ended up getting all worked up again and feeling bad. It's over, dude, get over it. Why hold on to something that doesn't exist and hasn't existed for a long time? Exactly. Plus, as the title of this post says it all.. I have one month to go til the big D-day.. August 9th and the divorce is final. So long and thanks for all the fish! So I've been usi Read more:Month
All's Quiet 2007-07-11 06:47:28 I was supposed to go and see my P.O. this Friday but she called and rescheduled. So now I'll see her before I go away on my business trip to Atlanta. That's happening July 27 to August 6 (which is my son's birthday). My new friend, the woman I met this past weekend, lives up that way so we're going to get together and mix my business trip with some pleasure. I'm so looking forward to it. We've been talking on the phone every night and texting each other and chatting as we are able during the day. I'm a writer waiting for my story to come together and she is also a writer so we have been talking about doing some collaboration.. well, that kind, too, but I'm talking about writing! I guess sometimes things really do happen for a reason. I'm going to do some of my community service hours this evening. I've given up on trying to do them every night because it's just too much. I worked out last night which I hadn't done in a couple of Read more:Quiet
Slow n Low 2007-07-23 07:19:18 There hasn't been a lot to write about and I've been pretty busy doing my hours so sorry for the delay between posts. Like I said I've been doing my hours and I'm down to about 10 left. I went to DUI school over the weekend.. 3 8-hour days that started at 8 in the morning so I'm tired as hell. I thought about doing some more hours tonight, but I think I'm going to skip it. I see my PO on Wednesday anyway so tonight would be the only night I could squeeze in 3 more hours, but I really don't feel like it. Also on Wednesday I have my DUI evaluation and get to see if I will be referred to counseling. I'm sure I will be, though. I mean I don't drink regularly and I don't crave alcohol nor do I care if I don't drink (I hadn't had a drink for 13 years until recently and was completely fine with it). The reason I say that they will refer me, though, is one simple thing.. I've had more than 2 blackout episodes and most people consider
Augustus 2007-08-08 03:51:50 Monday was my son's 10th birthday. I had shipped his computer to him but UPS jostled it around and damaged his video card. So, I ordered him another video card but there are still some problems with the machine. I'm going to have to pay someone to go and look at it because I can't talk any of the people on that side of the equation through this. So, sorry son, I was hoping you would have your computer and be able to use it by now, but happy birthday anyway. This Thursday is the big D day. My divorce will be final and I will have some closure. I've made my peace with the situation and I've been seeing someone new which has helped. Now I see how much easier it was for her since she had another person. I'm not getting serious again or anything like that.. not for a long while I hope. Everything is very relaxed and casual.. in fact, her divorce was just final today so we have been supporting and helping each other through our respective issues. After the bu
Welcome back 2007-09-18 02:30:44 After a long hiatus Piperworld is back from the ashes. The old site was different with stories and pictures of hot girls and maybe some of that will come back, but for now I'll just type about my musings and life in general. Today is quiet so far so we shall see what happens. I'm in a transition phase of my life so new things are happening all the time. Read more:Welcome
