Goodbye, baby...for a little while

I am just heartbroken tonight. I'm finding it hard to go to sleep and it's because of what will happen with my godson tomorrow morning. He will stand before the powers that be and try his very best to be strong and accept the decision.
It doesn't even matter if he did anything wrong or not.
It doesn't matter what the truth is....any lies are disregarded at this point.
I'm praying that someone or something will come forward to change the probable outcome of this little boy's life for the next four years.
I love you, J.
Your mom and dad and sister love you and we will all stand by you.
Be strong, little Hercules.

Haiku II

Embrace the story
I hold on to the dream and
I accept the end

It's been awhile....

Hi everyone,
Yeah, I've been gone awhile but not really....sometimes I am gone from you but never away...so much has happened.
Where do I start?
Still recovering from the surgery and getting better every day. I'm still numb in many places and dealing with the psycholgical aspect of having five pounds removed from my body. There has been no headaches, neck aches, or back aches. But I still struggle with pain and trying to figure out how far I can go physically.
I am starting a new job next weekend.
I decided a few days ago that I needed to find a job and bang! the phone rings....it's my friend, the Mayor of Fist City....she asks if I'm looking for a job. I say yes and I got an interview and was hired hours later. I've been doing some voice over work for Audix Microphones and I'm also working on a video with a spoken word group, The Hydropods....check them out on YouTube...."Such Lofty Encounters." I'll be "starring" in their next video....more later about that project.
I didn't want to go back to bartending but I have no right being picky at a time like this....when so many people are losing their jobs every single day. I am sick to my stomach when I hear about so many jobs being cut and companies closing down left and right. It's scary.
So I start my new job next Saturday morning at the Stagecoach Saloon....it is an actual stagecoach stop from back in the day....the original wood floors are still there!
I'm working day shifts and I couldn't be more lucky...I'm off before Thor gets home from school.
I love you, bitches.

As Jeff Lynne would say...."Hold on tight to your dreams...."
