Why not now?

Monday, October 31st, 2005

This is filed under “Rachel” and as such, many of you may not find it entertaining or appetizing. If you fall into that category… deal with it.
I’m sitting in front of my computer, 30 minutes after she left a message on my cell phone that she was going to bed and if I was going [...]

Extreme Flooring Acrobatics (EFA)

Sunday, October 30th, 2005

Extreme Flooring Acrobatics. An interesting activity, to say the least. Its usefulness, however, is not to be belittled. Allow me to elaborate.
EFA most often begins with a mistake. Someone locks themselves out of an entrance that is now inaccessible from any other area in the house; someone forgets their car keys on a counter top [...]

Where the Clouds Play

Monday, October 24th, 2005

Also posted in My Poetry
Standing still, looking all around,
I could see for miles, but still I say:
All I wanted was standing next to me,
Holding my hand where the clouds play.
Freezing cold, but warm inside,
Midnight temperatures in the light of day,
Holding on tightly to what I need,
In her warm embrace where the clouds play.
An awesome view [...]

All things considered…

Monday, October 24th, 2005

Well, yesterday was bittersweet… except with a little more bitter than sweet. It was great up until about 10:45am, when I let go of Rae’s hand as she headed beyond where I was allowed to go… the security checkpoint. I miss the days of being allowed down to the gate to see off a friend, [...]

Another crappy online ticketing service

Thursday, October 20th, 2005

The current time on the official countdown is 11 hours and 27 minutes… and I am pumped! This is sure to be a weekend to remember.
While I’m on the subject of Rachel coming out here (For those who were wondering, Rachel and Rae are the same person (somebody asked)), I’d like to say a little [...]

Home Depot

Monday, October 17th, 2005

Well, I quit. Tonight was my last night at Home Depot, and I really have mixed feelings about it.
There were great things about working there. They treated me like an adult. I didn’t have to run to a manager any time I had to make a decision. I was allowed to do markdowns from my [...]

Sunrise

Sunday, October 16th, 2005

This Thursday, the sunrise is coming at night… and She’s taking a plane!
That’s right, my Rae of sunshine is coming to Colorado springs on Thursday night! If any of you in Michigan read this before she gets a chance to tell you… It’s really not a secret… just very spontaneous. So here we go… the [...]

Good Night

Saturday, October 15th, 2005

This has been a particularly good night so far. And I’m pretty sure I know why. Instead of wasting my time by doing something like sleeping, I was spending time with someone who calls me Stephen.
See… that’s my name. But after I was about 16, I started introducing myself as Steve. The result? Pretty much [...]

My Day Off.

Wednesday, October 12th, 2005

Alright, so today was my day off. so before you get too excited, let me define that. My day off is defined by the day of the week that I work the least, meaning only one job. So my day off is Wednesday, since my normal 8:30-5:30 job at hardwood cafe is shortened to 10:00-5:30 [...]

Plans…

Sunday, October 9th, 2005

“Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future. Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.”
