While sorting through the material pieces of my life in preparation for the move, I ran across an old notebook. It is the notebook which I kept during my first bout of serious depression and was in treatment for it. I haven't seen or read this thing in several years now. After scanning through it, I decided to set down a few pieces of it in my blog. Here goes: I am coming to realize that I am not so much a loner as I would like to have myself believe. This experience, my illness, has sh...
Wow, I had registered at a website the other day that deals with employment in the telecommunications industry. At the time, I really didn't have much optimism that it would produce much. This morning I checked my email, and the site had sent me a job referral that matched my background and experience! While the job is in GA instead of FLA, it still sounds like it's right up my alley. It's a company looking for a Safety Manager, responsible for developing, implementing, and conducting safe...
I just dropped off a couple of my better suits and my trenchcoat at the dry cleaners. I will need them for the (hopefully) upcoming job interviews after I get to Florida. I am sorting through my things, doing laundry, and basically deciding what I will take with me and what I will leave behind. As I am doing this, it's a sad thing. I am leaving my life behind. I am leaving my girlfriend of seven years, my home, my friends, everything. I am going to Florida to start a new life in a new plac...
A Virginia State Trooper was injured in a crash yesterday afternoon while responding to a call. According to State Police investigators, Trooper Hairston was westbound on US 57 in Henry County , VA when a car pulled out in front of him and they collided nearly head-on. Trooper Hairston had his lights and siren activated at the time of the crash.

Yeah! J-Lo got married again! Yippie!!!! They're such a cute couple! Isn't it great! Oh I think it's just fantastic! This is the greatest news ever!!!! Oh I'm just so excited about it!!!!! Give me a break already! Is this crap really news-worthy?
After a great deal of careful consideration, weighing all the pros and cons of the career options available to me and factoring in my age, health, and various other factors, I have reached a decision regarding the next step in my career. I have already made the decision to relocate to Florida, so that part was easy and fits right in with my decision. I have decided that the best possible career option for me at this point in my life is the well respected and age old self-employed occupa...
It has been my personal crusade the past few years to expose THEM for who THEY really are; subversives controlling the masses. Everyone is familar with THEM on a subconscious level. Every day you here someone make a reference to THEM. You've probably done it yourself without even realizing it. "THEY say ________." "You know what THEY say, __________." THEY are everywhere, affecting every level of life in America today. THEY do it through the media, broadcasting subversive signals throug...
I was asked how I came to become a trucker. Yes, I have a bit above average intelligence and am pretty well educated and very well read. In school and college I excelled in math and science subjects and my primary major in college was Electronics Engineering in which I finished top of my class. Now, don't misunderstand here, I am not bragging by any means. I am simply laying the groundwork within the framing of the actaul question as I was asked it by Gerry Atrick. After graduation, I ente...
It struck me this morning that we can sometimes mourn some of the strangest things. It is normal to mourn the loss of a loved one. They are gone, and we will not be seeing them again in this lifetime. But what about mourning other things? Since I am going to be job-hunting I decided that it might be a good idea to shave off my beard so as to have a more presentable appearance. After doing so, I felt a great sense of loss as if I had just lost an old friend. I did keep the moustache because...
After a good deal of consideration I've decided that it's time for me to make some serious changes. Since my bad back will longer allow me to continue driving a truck for a living, I will have to look into something else. I spent a good many years working in the Electronics industry and had moved very high up in the ladder in my field. While I have been out of the industry for several years now, I still feel that my education, experience, and solid reputation may again serve me in my searc...
I just received this in an email from a friend. Thought I'd pass it along. As I Mature I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in. I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just assholes. I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it. I've learned that yo...
Here's another stupid test. This one is to see if you have a sense of humor. http://www.queendom.com/tests/minitests/fx/humor.html Do you have a sense of humor? Your score = 60 What does your score mean? Your sense of humor is pretty good. It may not be as wacky as that of some people (like us apparently) but you're pretty cool in our books! You can laugh at most things and maybe even get a kick out of the non-sense you say and do from time to time as well. Good for you! ...

Ok, here's a question to think about. There is a man who lives in a 20 story apartment building. He lives on the 17th floor. Every morning he leaves his apartment and rides the elevator to the lobby and goes to work. Every evening he returns to his building and rides the elevator to the 14th floor. From there he climbs the stairs to his apartment. He does this every day, whether he feels like it or not. Why?
