Venting

For the most part life is good. I've heard a few stupid rumors, including a few
that've made it back to my family. However, since I spend a lot of time at work.
Simple reasoning tells people I can't be inside and outside of a building at the
same time. Much less a building over 30 min. away from work. Contradictions
can always help you can find the gaps in a rumor. All it takes is a little common
sense and you can figure out who said what and when they said it. So I guess you
could say work is my alibi. Anyways, it's nice to have things this easy again.
Calm, Quiet, and Simple, I still love SNKOutlet.com though.... 2/13/08

It hasn't always been this easy though.... Since I was a kid I've always been a little
anti-social. That was the start of things I guess. I worked my ass off all the way
through High school and Family Christian Academy's Frequent Tests, Thinking I'd
graduate High School at 17 with a 3.8 GPA. Instead, the US Government decided
that Family Christian Academy was a Non-Accredited school!!! So all my Home
School credits were thrown out!!! They made me start High School a second
time!!! I became depressed, I didn't care about the classes that were all review and
I stayed out late as soon as I got my first job and my car. I had fun to get my
mind off school and slept through most of the day to stay up through the night. I
guess it was also weird being tossed into a group of strangers that large who all
new each other. That's one of the downsides to going to school in a small town.
Everyone has known everyone else since middle school. Before I got a set of
wheels I met most of my friends playing Command and Conquer online, among
other online games. My dad had a Mac so they were hard to come across. Then I
started only playing people around Knoxville and Nashville once Starcraft came
out. So by the time I got my car and started driving to Game Stop and Taco Bell
I'd already been E-mailing people for years. I wish they'd had instant messaging
outside Starcraft back then, but that's a Mac for you. Anyways, buy the time I got
into public school it seemed wrong to ditch the friends I had, for the strangers I'd
just met. I mean, there were some alright folks in Time for Time and a few of my
classes. But for the most part I was staying up so late I could hardly stay awake
through class. Anyways, public school was all review so the classes were easy. The
only hard part was staying awake long enough to get things done. On the one
hand, I know I gave everyone at SweetWater High and MidWay High the cold
shoulder. On the other hand it was the only way to hang out with the friends I
already had. Plus I think they cold shouldered me right back, at least a little. But
late nights after work was the only time we could all meet up. I can't count the
times we'd meet up in church parking lots and tweak our cars, it's insane how
many hours we spent trying to find new and better ways to mod them. Or how
many times we'd put a blue tarp down so we could toy with an engine only to have
the stupid 24/7 lighting start to flash on us. Anyways, I did manage to make up
for the four years of lost hard work within two years, by doing the stuff I'd never
had time to do. After that I went to College at NADC and it was great,
unfortunately my Chemical and Hormone levels had another thing in mind.
About half way through College I became paranoid that someone was screwing
with my car. One day I got in to drive to Best Buy and I heard A really loud
screech when I let out the clutch. As it turned out my brake caliper had locked
itself shut. I suspected tampering instead of normal tear and wear. So I guess
that's when it started. I was always keeping a close eye on my car, and I never
slept deep enough to not notice the alarm go off. Then I was OK for a while, life
was good. Then everything changed in one day (8/11/05), my car had been running
fine and then all of a sudden it went dead. When I tried to get a error code with an
analog volt meter all I got were nonstop needle sweeps. An Eclipse owner's worst
nightmare, a Fried ECU!!! I was FURIOUS I went inside got a hammer and
walked around the car bashing the body panels. I was P#ssed, but I wasn't stupid.
So I never hit the windows or the tires or anything I couldn't Bondo. After I'd
circled the whole thing I felt a little better, so I went inside to watch TV and try not
to think of how much the Bondo and worse yet a new ECU would cost.
Unfortunately, the neighbors and everyone else heard me bash the car and thought
I'd gone nuts!!! So they called the cops and things got crazy from there. I still
don't know what they said!!! Anyways, even though I bashed my own property, I
still scared everyone. So after getting at least two dozen blood tests, 6 months of
incarceration (11/7/05) (LakeShore) and frequent medication changes just to get
my chemical levels to normal. Along with a psychologist telling me the risks of
being Bi-Polor and Manic, (LakeShore). Anyways, I'm on TENN CARE so all my
meds are free for life. At least all the meds the State says I need. So basically if
the State pays for a doctor visit or a bottle of meds, it's because they think I need
them. Unlike anything I pay for because I decided I need them, it's ALL about
Who's Paying and Why.... Oh, yeah before anyone asks. Yes, I still have (Rights
and Freedoms) just like everyone else!!! Plus, I've been to (Peninsula of Knoxville)
so my old 68 mile drive to (RidgeView) is now an 8 mile drive to (Peninsula of
Knoxville)!!! I even been to see Doctor (Dr. Samavedy) who transferred from
Parkwest!!! Anyways, now I'm all about Work, My Place, 360 Games, and
Working on My 3000GT. I'm just glad to be on my own, employed full time, and
doing all the stuff I originally set out to do!!! If all the variables in my life hold
steady that is....
