Decided to come check up on things around FA! Been a while. Still think about everyone and how fun it would be to possibly go to a con sometime. Done a lot of growing up the past few years. That's not in reference to growing away from the fandom. I just meant me as a total person. I've matured a lot and have gone through a lot as well. i've been extremely busy trying to better myself each and every day. I'm now an ASE certified Auto Technician and I'm making 150% what I was making when I wrote my last journal. So progress is showing and I'm still working toward being the best I can be. It's awesome to finally have a job I love. I'd love to bridge some contacts I have lost in the past few years. I still have fond memories of the old days and of most of you guys. I fucked up a lot back then and I was also in the middle of discovering who I was as well. I learned and grew and it's helped mold me into the guy I am today. To anybody I offended or hurt in any way, I'm sorry. I was plagued by immaturity and selfishness. i hope this finds you all well and that if anyone wants to connect let me know how to contact you because I'd love to catch up! I may not be around here often but I still did meet a lot of cool people, people that I do miss. Anyway, I will be checking up on here every once in a while if anyone wants to chit chat.

I miss everyone! I'm 24 now, no longer work at Papa John's (THANK GOD). I am now a Auto Technician at a shop. Been doing it for about a year now, still learning a lot, but still pretty accurate with my diagnosis. In process of ASE testing. I am living with my fiance Marisa in an apartment in the tampa area. We've been together for almost 3 years. I want to catch up with everyone, I miss you all! WHAT HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN UP TO? Tell me everything!

split my head open at work on a bolt that was hanging down under a car yesterday at work.

Hello everyone

I love that song

But I am drunk and in my own place now

It's awesome

Bud light platinum and vodka, one hell of a combination

So how is everyone doing on this fine Saturday morning

ran my first 10k (6.2 mile) race saturday

problem was, i was injured at the end of november and sick the week prior to the race, i couldnt train properly

but i was stubborn, ran 3 miles as a gauge of how my injury had healed and felt pretty good so i ran the race saturday morning. Ended up finishing in 1:02:24, granted this isn't anywhere close to my quickest it was still a good time for how little i was able to train. All that matters is that i finished and i finished strong

today im paying the price though... im so sore ugh

I began running on 10/12

Ran my first 5k on 10/29 in 31:02 219 lbs

Amped up my running from 15 miles per week to 30 miles per week

Ran my 2nd 5k on 11/6 in 28:30 (-2:32) 214 lbs

Started speed training and longer runs

Ran my 3rd 5k on 11/12 in 27:21 (-3:41) 208 lbs

3 weeks ago i set my goal to be sub 27:30 by Turkey trot on thanksgiving, I smashed that 2 weeks prior to when I set that goal. When you set your goals and work your ass off to attain it, anything is possible. WHEN YOU WANT TO QUIT KEEP GOING! Running especially is a mind game. Back in January I was 281 pounds, I never thought by November I'd be running 3.1 miles in 27.5 minutes. Im posting this for those who might be struggling with any kind of goal in their life. I set my goals high and my expectations higher. Keep on chugging!

Nothing against vegetarians, you choose not to eat meat, but peta just released a study that says eating meat is the biggest cause of diabetes...... And eating bacon, ham and hotdogs causes cancer. this coming from PETA's doctor of course. Excuse me if im wrong, but last i checked a few thousand years ago, EVERYONE ATE MEAT. Its only natural that a grand number of the population is going to omnivorous. They shove vegetarianism down people's throats and try to make you feel guilty if you support their cause and still eat meat. If you are a vegetarian, no offense.

Just ran the blue moon 5k here in palm harbor in 28:30! Almost a 3 min improvement from last 5k and this one had more hills.

yea, so a tornado touched down in winter haven today about 2 miles from my work, where i was working the lunch shift. first the skies got black then sheets of rain came down, made visibility about 2 feet, then hail. Then winds of about 95 mph hit the front of our store, we all crouched in the office, could hear the roar, lights flickered for about 5 minutes and finally power went out. Then it got oddly quiet. luckily no damage to the store and no one in the store was hurt. Definately a frightening morning. The store still doesnt have power and hasnt since noon.
