So I haven’t been here for a few days, let me fill you all in on why. First of all I found a job and this last week has been hell adjusting to it. I’m moving furniture and the last time I hit the weights was more than two years ago in high school, I’m not as strong as I used to be. My first day I was sore as hell, every muscle in my body was sore. Now it isn’t that bad, even though it has only been a week, my body is adjusting. The bad part about me not being used to it, is that this is supposed to be a full time job and I’ve only worked two 8 hour days so far.

I’ve gotten some inspiration for the site, I’m thinking of some changes here and there along with some sections that I’ve wanted to have, but never really had the drive for it. Lately I’ve been pretty inspired to do things that I never thought of doing, and to finish things that was once forgotten.

I got twenty-six comments on my last blog, I’ll return them all in the coming days, but for tonite I’m going to work on some stuff and get my Despair, Excentric and Xposure sites done.

Think about the people in your life, think about your best friend and the person who your going out with. What have they taught you? What do you think they will teach you in the future?

Now think about five years ago. Think about your best friend from back then, think about the person you were going out with. What did they teach you? Where did they go?

I’m about to tell you something that many people don’t know and some never really realize, people are only in your life for as long as you need them. I’m serious. Why is it that you never have as strong of friendships when your grown up as you did when you were growing up? Because you don’t need it.

The truth is that just because you want something to stay the same, circumstances beyond our control will change the situation, and at times it will make people not be as close to some as they once were, because we don’t need them to be.

In this ever changing world, we sometimes lose people far too fast to grasp, one day someone will be there and the next day they are gone.

Maybe you don’t lose contact completely, maybe what was once entire weekends full of fun turns into a phone call every now and then. Maybe a get together every few years or so, because the party’s involved feel a certain loyalty to the other, but perhaps one doesn’t really feel much beyond that.

Think about your best friend and your current relationship. Think about how life has a way of passing us by when you’re out working, or working out. Now go tell those two people thank you for being there.

It has always been a dream of mine to visit all fifty states, 49 of them I’ve wanted to drive through and stop at little towns along the way. What makes a state great isn’t how many Walmarts or Denny’s it has, but the little Mom and Pop stores that are around. When I get older I plan on owning an RV and just driving from state to state. I’d get one now, but it’s probably best if I have a place to live that doesn’t have an engine.

I’ve been to some states already, I’ve stopped in little towns and saw the interesting things that they’ve had, the most beautiful so far had to be West Virginia. I wish I had taken a picture of it, it was a mountain, a huge mountain that was cut in half that had the highway driving through it. It was probably the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen. Each state has something unique about it, each state there is something different and unique about. One day I will visit them all.

It was my plan this summer to go back to Ohio and go to Virginia, but circumstances arose and I had to reorganize my priorities, for the better. So IU may not be going on some life altering journey just yet, I do plan on going one day. For now I have posted a page that has every state I’ve been in in red.
