Holy Shintos

I feel a bit overwhelmed lately. There has been a lot going on. I have been out of touch with those dearest to me and a cloud has arisen around my htoughts. I haven't spoken with Roy, Tim, Marc, TG, Nicole, Meagan, and of course mi madre y papa. Even Nana. Money is not in my blood. What I mean by that is I can enjoy myself without it. Although it does or can make things somewhat easier, it does not define who I am. I am very generous with the fortunes I have whether it be monetary, intellectually, or lovingly. The people I surround myself with are generally the same way. We are good people. We live to love and enjoy others and our surroundings. I can honestly say that I have THE best friends anyone could hope to have. That is why they are always in my thoughts and prayers.

I have some struggles I am dealing with and I have no means for verbal support. I have not been at my desk much lately so the work telephone has not really been at my disposal and I could not afford to pay my cell phone bill. Today has been a busy day at the office so I have not had much time to do "Josh" things today. I am applying too much pressure to the wound and cutting off all circulation. I need to relax and realize what is important. I have my health as well as my family's. So...here we go. I got a ticket for running a stop sign on base. No money involved, just points taken off of my base license. I did not run this stop sign. I saw the policeman coming from my right and I stopped and looked in all directions and then proceeded. He busted a U'ey and stopped me. I respectfully told him that I was not ignorant and that I saw him before I stopped so there could be no way that I "rolled through my stop". Anyway, my license among many other things was stolen from my car in October and I have neglected to get a new one. I was also ticketed for that and have 5 days to prove that I do have a license. This brings up a major problem. I won't go into the details, but it is a pain in my ass.

After all that mess I went back to my room and took my ThermoBurst before my workout. I went back down to my car to drive over to the Fitness Center and click....click. My car wont even try to start. This is about a 20 minute difference in time from when I stopped my car (working fine) and coming back out to realize that my only means of transportation has faltered. Well, shit. Isn't that my luck. So...all in all it was a crappy Memorial Day weekend. I now have to pick up the pieces and mend them.

Do not take this post as whining because it is the opposite. I am just informing the few of you who do read this what has been going on. I am trying to think positive about this and see what is to come of these tough times. It will only make me stronger as long as I keep a positive attitude. I mean like I always say, it could always be worse. I do have notorious bad luck. This is a fact. I hope you all have had better times than I am currently enduring.
