| Hi to the few still reading this, just wanted to say that I'm still alive and doing fairly well. I've made a site on Flickr where I'll keep posting a lot of the photos that I take the different places, mostly in the Portland area, where I like to go around and take pictures.

| Apparently I was rolling out the sarcasm heavily earlier this evening, with comments on the vice president and the new Gov. of NY state, (in true irreverent form). I mentioned that the VP's nickname was appropriate, Dick, since he is one. [To which my dad replied, your mother would not appreciate that...quite true, though he laughed].
The other one being about the newly sworn in Gov. Paterson...they're all up w/their stats as he's the first black governor of New York, (also blind..minor challenge). He's blindly leading them into the future.
Enough said. 
And Happy St. Paddy's Day to all you proud of your Irish heritage, consider yourself pinched if you're not wearing green or orange today, depending on your family's religious heritage, Catholic and Protestant respectively. And for once on St. Paddy's Day, I'm not consuming any alcohol, not even a Guinness. I had one a couple saturdays ago, so that's close enough..same month anyhow. But March is usually hard on many people (myself included), and over the past couple months I've decided to cut my drinking to very little, if at all. I'll have a beer once or twice a month, or black russian/ mudslide, but that's only cause they're favorites of mine. I have enough things to work on in my life right now, which has led me to just steer clear of alcohol by and large, if only because it's such a big temptation for me. Suffice it to say that there's a lot of change going on within me, hopefully for the better, so I'm trying to trust that God will help me become the man I'm supposed to be.

| Hi everyone, I'm back blogging after a long enough hiatus, suffice it to say that the past few months have been up, down and all over the place. I won't go into details here, but I can fill ya in via email if anyone wants. I've been pretty tired the past couple weeks, being that it's still winter, and i've had to work on a saturday for a second week in a row. I know I have been blessed for as long to not usually have to work Saturdays, but aside from that, it's been an up and down week for me. I'm trying not to feel too defeated, and am pressed to come up with things to do, that would otherwise get me out of the house...even just to get out. I know that people have their lives, and keep just as busy as I usually am, but lately it seems especially difficult to set aside time with people. That, and I seem to be starving for affirmation and hugs/affection about now. :-\ If you see me in person, you have my permission to give me a hug, if that's normal enough for our friendship. I'm almost tempted to go tanning, if only for the serotonin rush that I'm usually addicted to, one way or another.

| Hmm, so I guess this is my first entry here this year, and not sure why I'm still up at this hour either. Just wanted to comment on the fact that Juan Pablo Montoya got his first Nascar Nextel Cup win on a road course, and being that he's a former Formula1 driver, I quietly predicted that he'd win at least one of the road course races. Now most of you should know that I'm not really a Nascar fan to speak of (usually I've been a fan of just about anything besides Nascar), but I'll watch here or there once in a great while...usually rooting on Montoya in the Havoline 42 car, and Tony Stewart in the Home Depot 20 car. Here's hoping that both of them will do well tomorrow in New Hampshire...my aunt and uncle will be there, which i know they will enjoy a lot.
Went to the Red Sox game today w/dad, Ray and Bob..had a great time, and the game was good (even tho the Sox lost). I took a good few pics, even got ones of Varitek on the field and Jacoby Ellsbury's first MLB hit (single). And good 'ol Alex Cora broke his slump and got a leadoff triple and a double, along w/Youk's 2-run homer..but, then Beckett had a bad inning and it went down from there.

| I've managed to go almost a month without posting, so I suppose a general summary will do. God has provided a lot of different trying challenges over the past month, in particular, with my mom now having two internal surgeries to try to help relieve pain around the gall bladder. (Not divulging details here, but it's been quite an ordeal overall). I can say in all honesty that I have done a lot of sorting out of emotions and general opinions about different parts of my life, that I otherwise don't give too much thought on the whole. Over the past few weeks God has brought me to a new level of humility, which has been equally as hard as it's been wonderful at times. I certainly would not be where I am without learning to trust in God's will and timing, particularly with a few moments recently that have concretely reminded me of how very serious this cancer is that my mom is battling.
Christmas was fairly good overall, pretty low-key, with only minimal family drama/craziness. I still have emotions/thoughts to sort out with regard to my siblings, but suffice to say that my brother has offered to be a listening ear, regardless of his (and my sister's) strained relationship with mom/dad/myself. God reminded me this morning of the analogy of breaking bread, and how bread has to be broken first before it can be of use as food (particularly in a spiritual context). So to a certain extent my dad and I are learning and trying to let go and trust in God's will in this situation. One song that has been of comfort to me has been Frou Frou's "Let Go"...noted as being the song played at the end of the movie "Garden State", and beautifully sung by Imogen Heap.
There's beauty in the breakdown.
