The New House

Got to go to Jason and Sharon's new house this past Saturday. It is wonderful seeing your children be successful in life and have accomplishments. The thing I still try to drive home is not how much you have, but how happy you are with what you have. Got to hang out and watch the damn Tarheels play ball. Love there new house !! It is in a great area and the neighborhood is very well kept. I think it is great that Jason and Sharon found each other because they are so much alike. Sharon has some fire in her and will not put up with any shit. Her marrying a Roland it is good she is like that, because us Roland's are full of shit. Sunday got to go see Shelley at her second job at Vinnies. One thing I will say for that girl is, she will work. Teaching school Monday - Friday and then working at Vinnies aint easy. Wish she had it easier but if she did she would be like the rest of these young air heads that dont appreciate anything. She will make some young man a good wife one day, because she is stable and values life. When I read Ashley's blog and look at Jordon I can look back and remember all those days and were we are at now. All the stuff we worry about is just a waste of time because if you have a good home for them it all works out. Very pround of my two offsprings. They are very good kids and I hope everyone is this lucky to have kids like them.

What a Day in North Carolina

The day at work was hell. Everything was wrong and why did I let it happen try day. When it gets like that only thing you can say is, "yes sir your right and I will handle it" and then just move on.

Got the whole family a place to stay at Pawleys during the week of July 4th. This means we can have Jason, Sharon, Shelley, Paul, Shenna, ? and Cinda and I under the same roof. I love staying with Matt and DeAnna, but I would not throw all that on them at one time. If I did that I might have to sleep with Matt and DeAnna and she can sleep between Matt and Me. LOL If I had to do that I would wear my steel jock strap so I would not wake up with anything missing.

Second good thing is, after hours of Jason and Sharon going in and out of panic, THEY GET TO CLOSE ON THEIR HOUSE TODAY!!! Im really happy for them and glad to see them doing things the right way.

Now the 3rd thing that is going to make me happy is, I stopped at the store during lunch and I have 10 mini's of Jim Beam in the truck and I might just drink 3 of them tonight. I know after the weekend at Pawleys I said I was not going to drink for another month, but we are in a recession and I dont want anyone unemployed because I would not drink. LOL

only other thing I have to say is, "sure wish I lived at Pawleys again" Im so damn sick and tired of these damn wierd ass people up here. Sad thing is, they are not from North Carolina. They just dont know how to relax and enjoy the moment like my SC people. It is the simple things that make one happy, not swimming pools, boats, houses and all that other BS. Oh Well, it is what it is and it going to change until this economy turns. As soon as it does my ASS is out of here.

Back To Boresville

Had a great time at Pawleys this weekend. Of course, I drank to much and stayed out to late but thats what it is about. Taxi DeAnna took care of us and made sure we did not get into any trouble. Os came out and spent some time with us. He is looking really good and has lost about 40 pounds. He is so funny holding his chest when the laughs. McNelley is Steve and still the same. He is doing good and still dating Mickey (which is good for him). She is his grounding force that keeps him from getting killed. Jay was the one that Im worried about !! He is not doing very well with his health. Before I left him Sunday I gave him a hug and told him that I love him. Sure hope he improves from where he is now. Matt is doing good and that DeAnna was the one who surprised me. I did not want to say anything when I first saw her, but that girl has lost alot of weight. She is looking good and younger. Sort of motivates me to take off about 20 pounds. Always good to be back to my house with Cinda and Killer, but I sure wish it was down there instead of here. No need to sit here and cry about it, it is what it is for right now. It will take me till about Thursday to get this out of my system.

Oh yes, I forget to mention that Matt had about 10 Georgetown Cops surrounding him inside Easy on Saturday. Those guys were casing out the Street with about 4 unmarked cars and every time they would pass by Matt was kind enough to just wave at them and they sort of got pissed. Told Matt that he was not to stand in front of the door and to keep his mouth shut or they were going to arrest him. Of course they had no right to do that, they were just trying to provoke Matt which Mr Cool did not do anything. Always excitment !!

Headed Home

Be going down to my home in my heart Friday morning. Cant wait to have Elly and Baily jump on me and give me some of them good old dog sugars. Get to sit around with my bud Matt and drink me a big Beam and Diet Coke while we catch up on the happenings. Then Im going to take a short ride over to Big Os and check out his railroad track on his chest. Once his Os Hair Sweater grows back you will never see the scar. Might take him a can of tuna fish and some salt free crackers as a present. Then after all that it will be to the Street to see all the happy hour people such as Jay, Mary, Doug, and Ned. Then we will probably head to Habanors for supper and shoot the bull with Bill and eat something hot as hell just to prove we can then back to Easy Street where Matt and I will close the thing down. DeAnna is always a good sport and takes care of Matt and me because she knows we dont have enough sense to get out of the rain when we start drinking. I will probably need to slide out somewhere Saturday so Matt can do the Valentines thing. That should take about 2 minutes LOL LOL. Then Sunday it will be Daytona 500 party at the Easy Street. Think Im excited about going back?? I love that place and the people there. They are all sort of disfunctional but what the hell, SO AM I !!! Just two more days and Im out of here.

Good Old Economy

Had meetings yesterday to tell people that they were getting layed off or their hours cut. All salary personnel including me can take vacation days on Fridays or have their pay cut that one day. It hurts watching people wonder what they are going to do when you tell them this news. I think that Congress, Senate, and Oval Office should have to work one year for free and give the salary back to the US debt. People work all their lives to end up broke at time to retire. I hate posting this try information because it is so negative, but thats all my world is now. Since I have off every Friday now I think Im going to Pawleys on Thursdays and stay till Sunday nights. Matt and DeAnna can claim me as a tax deduction in 09. Applied for two jobs in that area yesterday, but Im sure Im one out of 10,000 but someone has to get it. Cinda can live anywhere in the US with her job so Im ready to move back to the low country. I need me some fire ant and blue gums. Getting sick of all these know it all Yankees here. Planning on going to Bartending school this month and get trained, then see if I can get me a job slinging beer on the weekends somewhere. I always liked doing that type of thing just to meet the people.
