Day 2 Hectic Day

Well I didnt plan on being up so late tonight either, but here I am.  11:45 and not in bed yet.  This will be a quickie.  As always for the past week a good friend keeps me smiling and brightens my day.  Sophie B Hakins is still Awesome!!!!  LOL.  Next was a surprise call from my old buddy Steve from back in school in MD.  We have been best of friends for to many years to count.  Have lost touch over the years but tonight was like we never left.  I think we could have talked for hours, but both of us with dying cell phones and work in the morning had to go.  I hope to grow old around my closest friends and family from my life.  I only have a handful of really close friends who know everything about me.  Who lived most of my younger years with me.  They know who they are.  I hope one day we will all be living close and can hang out more often and grow old around each other.  I have a couple amazing  friends here in Charleston who without them my life would truly have fell apart.  They know who they are as well.  Also a recent new friend, who I suspect will be a life long friend as well, regardless of what path things take.  All these people have been such great parts of my life over the years.  Steves call tonight was so great. 

Well I will just list them all.  These people are amazing and people I would consider some of the best friends I have ever had.  First is my brother Brandon.  We have always been like best friends, many challenges over the years, not always agreeing on things, but great friends none the less.  Dont get me wrong.  My other brother Jason and my sister Stephanie are awesome people.  Just we were never as close as me and Brandon.  Along with his wife Penny who is a truly amazing woman.  My buddies from High School Steve, Donny, Daryl and George. I also want to mention a younger friend Eddie who goes way back with me.  We were very tight in the younger years...  Then I have friends here in Charleston, my roomie is one of the most awesome guys ya will ever meet, Rafael and then the friends I made in a small group from church Clinton and Stephanie who have helped me keep my focus and keep my head on straight through some really tough periods.  They truly set the example of how people should live their lives.   

I dwell a bunch on the past and miss those days for sure.

Today was just a hectic day at work.  So many people have no respect for others time.  Just because you failed to plan ahead, it shouldnt make my life a challenge.  In the end, my 2 awesome phone calls, were the best end to a day ever.  I dont recall an necessarily good deeds today in particular.  Didnt get to read anything or do any sort of physical activity.  I did smoke several times today.  I think it was 5.  I forgot to put my patch on this morning.  I will get there.  Baby steps and a little progress everyday is the goal. 

I need to get some dental work done this month.  Kind of hurting a bit.  Been way to many years.  I hope to get a little done at the end of the month, depending on how my check pans out for the month.  Really need a good cleaning and probably a couple just yanked out in the back.  Probably have to be a little bit here and there.

Truck is limping around as well.  Gonna have to figure something out before to long.  Hopefully something will come through for me to be able to afford a new vehicle.  Someone want to buy me a new truck?  Love ya forever. LOL. 

Hopefully I can go into more details about some particular aspect of things I have going on in my life in my next few blogs.  Just tired tonight.

I have been adding things up in my head of what it would take to get me ON TRACK in my finacial world.  This would include my own home and new vehicle and many old debts or obligatrions I owe on.  Just need maybe $150,000.  Figuring I could get a decent home for $100,000 around here.  So $50, 000 would be the main part I need first to clear everything up and get a vehicle.  It would give me a clean slate.  Anyone wanna donate to the Eric Fund?  HaHa, slow and steady and it will come....There are over 300 Million people in the US.  Figure I should be able to get at least 50,000 people to send me a buck.  Sounds simple.  LOL.  Hmmmmmmm

I hope to have more things on track by weeks end.  Have kids this weekend and we are gonna do something fun.  Always brightens my day to hang out with them.  I miss them everyday....Thanks for reading tonight peeps.  Sorry not to exciting.
