I've been away for some downtime, but thought it was 'bout time, to give my freaky people what they came here for...a new entry, of course. I know some people have read my journal because I've had some people comment on the fact that I haven't posted in...six months? Yikes. Well, I didn't drop off the face of the earth or anything...I just haven't thought about doing this. So here I am, ready to restart my journal...at least for the next two days.
Since my last entry, my life has been noneventful for the most part. In December, however, I had to have surgery...I had an umbilical hernia and it ruptured, caused an infection, so I was off work and laid up in the hospital for about a week...lost twenty pounds...of which I've gained eight back...more on that later. But I'm all healed up and ornery as ever.
School's going well. I think I'm having the best semester yet. Got some really good kids this time, which helps.
I've recently decided to stop the self-destructive cycle I'm in and lose some weight. I've been a big guy for far too long. I lost twenty pounds when I was in the hospital, like I said...and I've gained eight back...and I don't aim to gain any more of it back. Jennie's doing her best to help me out and I know I've got some really awesome people out there praying for me, and that's really what I need because I can't do it without Jesus...so keep those prayers coming, folks...I've done pretty well so far...
Anyway, today was pretty good. Friday's are always nice. I got a CD in the mail, which was really nice...Bill Mallonee's "My Year in Review." Those who are familiar with me are used to this, but you should all check out http:///www.billmallonee.net . Some really great music. This is a bunch of unreleased stuff, demos and such...one of which is a really awesome version of "Deep End." I'll be wearing this one out soon.
Well, that's it for tonight...I'll be back in the near future...maybe...it might be another six months, who knows? Take care and God bless...

We leave the straight and narrow
For the lowest of roads
We all need somebody
To lie to us i suppose
That's why everybody needs
Yeah, a Tokyo Rose"
