Fantum's blog: "A day in the life of..."

Sometimes i really hate my job. Database problems, network problems. Everyone seems to have a problem and I am the magical cure. Im sorry but your foul up does not constitute and emergency on my part.

The greatest challenge in life is finding that someone who completes you. One that knows all of your flaws, differences and mistakes yet still loves everything about you. Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality . Wake Up and Live! The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.

I took Greyhound for my trip and I have to say it really wasn't that bad. The ride was somehwat comfortable but my biggest beef is that they can't keep a schedule to save their lives. That & the on-board toilet was absolutly horrific. I felt really bad for those poor souls that had to sit back by it. The smell was awful. I ended up holding it for 200 miles. In the end, you get what you pay for. I can't say that I would never again use the services of Greyhound but it certainly would be my last resort.

What would you do if you could go back in time and right one wrong? This is something more than just a simple question. I had this opportunity this last weekend. I found someone I really wronged back in the past and I was able to find absolution. It wasn’t easy explaining myself and why I had done the things I had done. Why I had said the things I said. It was surprisingly simple to just come clean and explain what had really happened those many years ago. In the end, I made things right and regained a friend I had lost long ago.

Life sure has a way of smacking people back into reality. The reunion sucked. Without going into any great details, let me just say that no matter how much time has passed, some people never change. They were and always will be total dillweeds! I can't say it was a total loss. I did get to spend some time with my family and some friends from long ago. I guess the saddest part of my journey was that my parents are getting divorced after more than 23yrs of marriage. I got that bomb dropped on me the day after the reunion. Such is life i guess. I kinda seen it comming for the last few yrs. My mother beingall wrapped up in her church and ministry. She left dad by the wayside. I guess I can't really blame him too much for wanting to end the marriage. I know he wasn't very happy for the last few yrs. Qite frankly, i'm suprised it took this long.

Here it is.. less than a week away and I am so nervous. It's been 20yrs since I’ve seem most of those people. Some i can only imagine where life has taken them. Others, quite frankly, I could care less. No matter what, I'm going to have fun and enjoy myself.

I have my 20yr HS reunion coming up this month. I am going to this one. It just amazes me that it's been 20 yrs! I can still remember HS with such clarity. So many times we go thru life and never fully realize or appreciate just how good things were when we were children. We all grow up, move along with life, start families, get jobs and go to college. But for many of us, our mind always wanders back to the days of HS, the friends we knew and loved, and the dreams we once had. As i was looking through my year book I came across a section that was a basic questionaire that every senior took. It asked things like: where do we want to go after HS? Where do we see ourselves living in the future? I had to laugh when reading some of the responses from my fellow seniors but the sad truth was that many were so much alike. More than 80% wanted out of Ohio. Can say I blame them. Ohio blows. Then I seen my answers to the questions. I wanted to win the lottery and retire to a beach in Hawaii. Heck I still want to win the lottery but I think i would rather go to some place like Costa Rica instead. I meantioned my eternal love for an old girlfriend. I've seen her once in the last 20 yrs. I wanted to go to college to study Oceanography. Went with computers and engineering instead. I looked at many of the people i considered my friends back then too. Many of them i have not spoken to since graduation day. Some have totally disappeared off the face of the earth. Others are quite successsfull. While some are the dearly departed. I think many of us never really realize just how short and precious life really is. We only have this one life to live. Better make the most of it!

Why do people always have to start drama? Some people need to accept life the way it is and move along

Pulled the V-Rod out ride and got fried to a crisp. Forgot the sunblock like a dumba$$. Now i'm paying for it big time.
