Have not done one of these in a while, but due to the still shocking news I heard yesterday I felt I should.

I had a friend of mine, we were close for maybe 3 years before I moved away. He was an awesome guy, I watched his ups and his downs. Views about him changed with his downs but I never stopped being his friend because he always reminded me how kind he was and that he just made bad choices in life and never wanted me to follow them. This is the first real friend I've lost this year, I've come close with some and others I've known just a short time and we never made the jump to friends before their passing. I wish I could be there for his/our friends right now but I'm sadly stuck over 2000miles away. I'll say some words for you when I get home, just don't let me forget 'em okay?

Been looking for a second job, despite places "hiring" they arn't looking. It's also hard when I have to work weekends at Lowe's for my main job currently, but if I can get more hours I'll be happy with that, till winter comes.

For those whom know, I moved to New Hampshire in March. I never EVER wanted to go back to Texas, the heat was getting to be too much for me to handle and it looks like it only has gotten worse since I left. Only reason I'd go back is for my friends and Kerin. However, I'm going to be staying in NH till March then moving back to Texas for a while to get back on my feet with money. This was my friend time being totally on my own and paying rent/food/gas/ect and it's just gotten a bit to crazy. I want to stay for a full year to see all the seasons New England has to offer so I can make my mind up if I want to come move back sometime later down the road in my life.

I've got to get a room in another house around Sept but it's proving harder then it seems. It's going to be 200+ more then what I am paying now and not all the places I look at; does that include gas/heat/ect. So it's going to be fun. I've been raiding Goodwill and finding things I know sell on eBay for more then their sticker so hopefully I can raise extra money that way. Selling my My Little Pony McDonald figures right now for some extra money to help me out... I hate needing money I still wish we would go back to the old ways were a bag of flower and a chicken could get you whatever your heart could dream...

Takoda and Harvest have been on my mind a lot, as I go through pictures of them if pains me to see them but I know both of them are in better places and that I shouldn't worry. Koda's new owner is letting me come visit in Sept and I cannot wait for that. If I could and was okay money wise, I would get another Husky or Corgi in a heartbeat... but I know I could not afford one right now, let alone when I move into the new room so I'm just going to have to deal for the time being with the two furry things I have, Lucy and Clifford. My reptiles are nice, but you just can hug them like you can with something furry... same goes for my fish.

Got to get back to work writing my book and trying to get ahold of my cousin so she can get my songs out to artists and hopefully I'll get to be a great songwriter for a lot of country stars, only know how to get a hold of them country guys sorry.

Below are a list of things I want to go before winter:
-Ruggle's Mine
-Niagara Fall's (canada side)
-Apple Picking
-Statue of Liberty
-See old lighthouses and covered bridges

This I want to do during winter:
-Learn to Snowboard
-^that's pretty much it.

With this my friends I bid you adue for the time being.
