			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When is it real? When someone says that they have fun with you and want to be around you, how do you know it&#8217;s real? I&#8217;m struggling with that very question right now..  This girl knows that I like her a lot, she&#8217;s like a breath of fresh air to me.. She has so many good qualities about her, but there is something missing. I just feel like it&#8217;s not going to progress any further..  There are times when we are apart that she will be a totally different person, very &#8220;willing&#8221;. But when we are together it&#8217;s like it never comes up, she&#8217;s a straightedge.. It&#8217;s so confusing but I can&#8217;t get an answer out of her.. I feel like maybe she just wants to be friends, or maybe she&#8217;s just not into me like that.. We&#8217;ve been out three times and it seems like we&#8217;re just stuck in the mud..  I don&#8217;t know if I should tell her how I really feel, or if I should just say goodbye before I get hurt again..</p>
<p>Maybe it was too good to be true?</p>

She&#8217;s great and she has an awesome 2 (soon to be 3) year old boy. They keep me pretty busy. My life and relationship isn&#8217;t perfect, but there&#8217;s never been a period where it has been. So all in all everything is normal for me. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m also still working at FOX 23, the job is great and so are the folks there. I&#8217;m very happy with my job right now..</p>
<p>It&#8217;s too hot to write anymore, gonna go lay down..  Until next time&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tonight marks the end of another chapter in my life, It&#8217;s my last night at Bayside Bowl, which means that for one day I&#8217;ll be unemployed. Starting Monday, I&#8217;ll be the Chief Operator and Assistant Chief Engineer at WPFO-TV, that&#8217;s FOX 23 for you guys in Maine.</p>
<p>Things with Elizabeth and I are difficult, but we are working on our problems and hopefully will get everything straightened out before too long. I love her very much and couldn&#8217;t imagine living without her, especially now. We have a long way to go but only she and I can fix our problems, nobody else. I remain motivated and optimistic.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll have a long post Monday talking about some of my new duties. Until then, Stay thirsty my friends!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I&#8217;ve recognized a pattern with my relationships that I need to talk about. It seems that most of my recent relationships have lasted either 2 months exactly or end within a week of reaching that 2 month mark. Tori Rossignol, Danyle, Deserei and Liz, all either 2 months exactly or thereabouts. Bonus, Tori Morrill was 2 years..<br />
It&#8217;s something with twos that I just can&#8217;t understand, maybe someday I&#8217;ll figure it out but for now I suppose I can just break up my relationship schedule into 2 month segments.</p>
<p>I wonder who the next contestant will be&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For a long time I&#8217;ve never quite understood what the problem was, but I think I have finally figured it out.. I&#8217;m just not supposed to be here.. Somewhere along the road I&#8217;ve traveled, something should have ended up differently&#8230; I dunno if it was when I was hit by a car when I was really little, or last spring when i tried to OD, but something should have ended differently for me and I shouldnt be here&#8230; I don&#8217;t want to be here&#8230;</p>
<p>My body and my emotions cant handle anymore stress like this&#8230; I&#8217;ve gotten to the point where I&#8217;m afraid something is going to happen medically because the results of these breakups have gotten worse and worse on me..  I couldn&#8217;t even see straight, I couldn&#8217;t breathe..  My body is breaking down because of the stress I&#8217;m under&#8230;</p>
<p>Now she says she needs space, i asked her not to throw our relationship away over this, and she said ok but i know that shes never coming back..  Ellen didnt, Tori Rossignol didnt, Tori Morrill didnt and now Danyle wont..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No I&#8217;m not talking about the awesome video game for XBOX 360 or things you do with your souped up ricer. I;m talking about the kind of burn out you get when you&#8217;re overworked and under rested. I got called in today on my day off, which happens a lot, but I was kind of upset about it today because I hadn&#8217;t slept well last night, and I was looking forward to a whole day where I didn&#8217;t have to do anything at all, I could just lounge around in my PJs and not have to work. Just a whole 24 hour period to myself.</p>
<p>Cue the boss texting me at 3:30 asking me of I could come in early tonight because he needs a hand with some repairs. Wait, come in early? On my day off?! No&#8230; Of course I replied, &#8220;today was supposed to be my day off, but I guess I can come in.&#8221; So i quickly get dressed and hit the road. I&#8217;m not happy. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I like my job, but too much of anything is not good for you, and its bad enough I had to give up a day off to supervise league play on Sunday nights. Now I have to give up my Wednesday, which i got in return for the sundays. So now apparently I had been reduced to having 1 day off a week, because my boss doesn&#8217;t want to close.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t keep working 6 day weeks, I&#8217;ve already reached burnout, and it&#8217;s not getting any better not having any time to myself anymore. I get out of work Tuesday morning at 1:30-2am, fall asleep around 4am, and wake up arounf 4pm. that leaves me not many hours to be able to do what I want on my one day off.</p>
<p>Something needs to change..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I&#8217;m not gonna blog about my new girlfriend because every time i do it seems that it ends up falling apart short thereafter. So instead, as I sit here sipping my bourbon and ginger ale, I will blog about my weekend plans with some girl i know. <img src='http://jcwebdesign.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>It&#8217;s this girl&#8217;s birthday tomorrow (today) and I have gotten her a present. I can&#8217;t say right now what it is but I&#8217;ll tell you in the next post. Im going home after my adult beverage and going to bed only to wake up super early on my day off to drive to Bangor and spend the day with her. I can&#8217;t wait.</p>
<p>Right now however as I&#8217;m sipping my bourbon, I&#8217;m thinking to myself..  &#8220;What if this is the end of my troubles?&#8221;, &#8220;What if I&#8217;ll never have to worry again?&#8221;. I&#8217;d really like to turn my life around as far as my finances go. I&#8217;d like to clear up my debt which has surpassed $10000. Hospital bills, a credit card and a few other miscellaneous things.</p>
<p>Until next.</p>
