I'm still alive and trucking about.
8 years ago
I've been on the road still, trucking about in the western 11. I was fired from Swift after their excessive nitpicking and a bullshit ticket that I got. But within a week of being fired I was on with Western Express. The pay isn't as much and the driver support is lacking when it comes to the weekend and nights, but I'm not being nitpicked to death and allowed to do my job. When I'm on home time I'm normally just playing on my computer or doing small stuff to my room. I also worked on my car, replacing the shifter assembly and antenna mast. Now my car shifts so much better and I have radio again. Still need to replace an O2 sensor.
I have a nice gaming laptop that I use on the road with me to play fallout games and planetside 2 when I have the internet connection to support it. Most truck stops do have internet you can use that is pay per time use, but if its being used heavily, then you're not going to get much done, and my phone is on the t-mobile network, so I can only do so much with that. Still, when I have the time to play and not too tired, I get on.
In other news, I've been keeping tabs on how things in the United States, and the world in general, is going, and honestly, I'm seeing history repeating its self. Certain "groups" of people are getting out of hand and acting violent towards anyone that doesn't think like them, calling people any list of 'isim's and 'phobic's and 'ist and other things all because they were simple born a certain gender and race. Racism is discrimination against any race, not just some. Whats disturbing is that many of these things is what eventually led to the creation of the Nazi party and rise of Hitler in Germany, the rise of Communism in Russia and the dictators that ruled over the people and murdered them, and the other dictators and political parties that would cause so much death and destruction.
History must be preserved and studied, not destroyed and forgotten. For those who do not learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.
And finally, free speech must never be censored. Because when you start censoring speech, then quickly soon all speech will become censored and restricted, including what one may have said and spoke before. Two books gives examples of what the world is becoming, and those books are "1984" by George Orwell and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. If you get a chance, read though them, and see just how real they have become.

Who I'm with or part of: 
I've seen you dress up in your ways, I've seen you offend others, and I've seen you break the law even after I told you not to do that shit when you had a higher status on security when I worked it. I've even looked up to you after it happened, and I've even hid shit from people after you were caught fucking up.
However, deep down inside you've never betrayed me. You did piss me off a few times playing that game in life where you looked the other way but I told you about it and confronted you when you did. You never avoided me, you showed signs of remorse, and as you can tell by now that every last time I approach you that I never give you a hard time because I understand that you had to deal with some harsh shit in your life. So if you need anything I'm around, just chill out on the racial joke stuff.
You're a cool guy, we've had some shitty shifts during conventions, but better yourself my good sir. You have no business living a bad life and I wanna hang out with you when you're doing well. Even then, I'll be there to help you out, despite how much I'll give you shit if you screw up again.
Also, I've long left behind a lot of things I was into in the past. Times changed and what once was acceptable can not be risked. I've been on the straight a narrow since what happened in 2011. I don't hide that I fucked up and admit I had fucked up, but I came out wiser and a better person for it.
I will be on cfac next year, but I feel that will be the last time. I am the only remaining original cfac member at califur now, and it's no longer what I remember it to be. We will see then.
