I Have A Present For You

So I finally decided that I wanted to start writing again, it isn't just something that you do, at least not when you are trying to do things in real life as well.

Starting something new, a friend of mine recently came back from a trip, he didn't do the resort thing, he just went his own way. While he was there he bought me a pair of wooden wine glasses, normally I don't really worry about presents. They are just things that you have, some of those things you use, and some of those things you just stick somewhere until you can get rid of them somehow. But these glasses are different, I appreciate them because they were bought for me, not because of a holiday.

So where did we leave off the last time we talked, oh yeah, I was trying to do some thing so that I could do some other things. Well, I have done some things, and I have stopped doing some other things so that I could free up the space. Sometimes I feel like life is as simple as that, do the things that you have to do so you can set yourself up, to do some things that you want to do. Wait that wasn't simple at all.

Right now I am fully dedicated to my new job opportunity, if I can make the hard part of this job work, I could earn enough money in one shot to basically relieve every draining issue in my life. And once I have the weight off of my chest I promise to remember everything it has taken me to get this far, I am living in a basement apartment right now to save money to make this transition happen, it isn't the best but I will do what I have to. Sleeping in a basement makes my allergies go crazy, and generally makes my life miserable, but I have slept in enough places to know that some are better and some are worse. And that you can always get back to the good places if you remember what they feel like.

I remember sleeping in my car, looking out the back window at the Rocky Mountains. The back seat folds down, and if you stuff some bags and pillows in the little space where your feet go you can make a bed almost big enough for two. But it gets awfully cold outside sometimes in the Rockies and you had better hope that you have someone with you to keep you warm.

I enjoy driving my car, sometimes I just go out and drive. All by myself, on the open highway. The sunroof is open and I am free to go wherever I want. Full tank of gas and nothing but hopes and dreams ahead of me. Sometimes I sing songs, just for myself, but that doesn't mean that I am only being heard by my ears.

There are still some things that I can't write about, some things that I just don't want to publish on the internet for anyone to read. But I will say this, I am trying to do the right thing. I want to be a role model, and my world will be happy.
