"There's just so much goddamn weight on my shoulders...wear a smile on my face but I've got a demon inside"

Readers,

Hey everyone as I write this I am giving the single Jekyll and Hyde by Five Finger Death Punch and right now it feels so fitting. In my life, not to say things have taken a sudden downward spiral. Things with the love of my life are still going beyond well (Ruth is a life saver and as are many of my friends for helping me through the stresses of life). When there is a part of me that wants to dig a deep hole and hide till the world ends then come up for any semblance of air

I have a great job that I love that is sometimes frustrating but that comes with working in retail and sometimes dealing with the general public; you have the bad apples but then you have some awesome people whom over the past two months and a half have become some great regulars. You have that job where you just clock on and can't wait until its over and that day where everyday is a new adventure where you feel included and that's exactly how this job is. I feel like I am apart of a family. Up till now I have for the most part because I know it is a better job than before and have wanted to stay mute on it. But I am working for Rc Willey and that is about the extent of it. Oh and I am working in the office so dealing hands on with customers on a daily basis from cashiering, running credit to future customer service

On the school front, recently I met with a psychologist and took a test proving that I do have an actual diagnosed Math Disability; over the years I have used this as an outlet to tell you everything and now I am continuing this process. I've struggled with math over the years of school for as long as I can recall, yes I have eventually gotten it to a point but only to a point though and had to work a hell of a lot more at it than other people. Yes I know you should never ever compare yourself to others but sometimes I think it happens naturally. When I was younger I was in and out of different rooms for help with my iep and at the time they kind of gave me a general one but nothing math specific though. So I think I have always sort of mentally beat myself up for it feeling like maybe I wasn't fucking good enough. This feels like a relief so the battle continues with my alma mater bsu. I will go down there and present the evidence (ie. the paperwork that says I have this disability). From there I am hoping I will get a different class other than the business calculus and than take that and two other classes and graduate with a bacholers in business administration

On the health front, the weight is slowly coming off but not as easy as in the past it seems. Though I am now down to 167 lbs (so I have so far lost 3 lbs so that is good). Feeling better and better about myself. Yes my fiance thinks I am sexy as hell but I am doing this for the both of us so I am healther and can live longer. Yes I have never been really overweight but at the same time I have struggled with it off and on over the years though. But as a whole I definitely like myself and my own image, I am comfortable with it

On the whole saving for a house and a wedding and everything else that is where it feels like I am not making enough or not putting enough away. There is part of me that feels like its time to run out there into the big bad world and get a second job on top of the one I have but that would be illogical. I am so damned grateful to have someone whom we're walking down this road of life together

So that covers all the bases right now. Hope things are going great for you. This sunday is the company picnic which should be a hell of a lot of fun, followed by a couple of weeks from now an escape to the cabin for a day with my love Ruth and followed by Elton John in October. Talk about what will no doubt prove to be a bundle of excitement. Well I'll catch ya on the flip side

ps: Going to try to write more often and wow this was truly one of the more introspective ones i have written in a good long while

Is It True?

Readers: Hey everybody I hope all is well in your world's. I am writing a latest update of things seeing as how earlier today I asked her why she suddenly blocked me with out any word at all. Hell its funny how in the end I told myself over and over again knowing wouldn't actually help but there you have it. One thing she said has continued to stay there at the fore front of my mind when she texted me back after essentially telling me that I worried too much, that I killed things that drunken night, that I am neurotic. Probably not exactly in those different words but that was the idea though than she stopped texting me again. Later out of the blue she texted me again telling me she was sorry but that how could she expect anything else out of things after the night when I screwed up like that. Oh and of course she also threw my words in my face saying essentially that i'd never be with a woman with a kid lol The funny he he ironic fucking thing is that I made it clear w...

Can I?

Readers: Hey everyone I hope all's going great in you're world's. On my end I am full of wonder and doubt which I know isn't exactly the grounds for a job well done but there you go? I am on the cusp right now of starting Math 160 and taking it during the summer. During the regular semester it annihilated me entirely. Feels like I am so close to graduating yet so far away from it all. Right now if anything felt so unobtainable it is truly now more than ever. My mind is plagued with thoughts of failing, thoughts of not graduating, thoughts of not getting a great job, thoughts of the end of a relationship in the blink of an eye. Success in school, success in a job, solid money coming in all of these different things I know will enable me to live life to its fullest. Fullest being the ability to go out there and enjoy vacations, keep this relationship going solidly with Jolene and really be happy mentally knowing that I succeeded with school. My brothers are married an...

Sometimes you have to accept failure and move on

Readers: Hey everyone I hope all is going great in you're worlds. On my end I am still mentally coming to terms with the fact that I will no longer be attending Boise State unless I can afford it and on this note while going too school and only working part time I haven't been able to necessarily afford to go to school so my folks have been taking care of it and i've been paying them back. Having so few hours right now prior too i couldn't put myself through school and secondly the deal from my dad was, "Chris if you get F's in these classes you are done!"; low and behold I checked my grades and I got an F in not just Business Statistics but Calculus as well. Yesterday I withdrew from the classes at Boise State, I changed my work schedule at Gordman's to full time (here is to hoping I get some solid hours), and lastly now I am going to start paying rent to my parents which is a real way of driving home the fact that I failed. For me more than anyth...
