I saw where the wild things are tonight. The movie is very well made, with beautiful art and effects, but I gotta say, instead of being wild, the Monsters are all manic-depressive and somewhat insane. It may disapoint a few.

Sceens exsist with owls being pelted by stones, threats of murder, and the forceful removal of one of the mosters arm's by one of his freinds. Throughout the film,the monsters go on tearful, whiney tireades about how bad their lives are and how depressed they feel.

Not what I expected, but still funny.

Cup a Joe's in Hillsborough, NC is the best coffee shop ever. No starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, or even Port City Java comes even close to the quality of their coffee. Its also pretty cheap!

I tend to go by there every 2 to 3 days for my fix.

Lots of things on my mind today, and somtimes I feel like I'm treading on the edge of sanity. I'll get through the bad parts, though, like I uausally do. Life can be a bitch somtimes, ya know?

In other news, the local furry group is doing a movie today. Toy Story 1 & 2, shown back to back, in 3D at one of the local theaters. I'm not a huge fan of the toy story series, and I cant stand to sit through two movies... I just cant sit that long period... So I'm going to be meeting them afterwards for hanging out.

I've been a bit lazy on some art I've promised out. I need to do a few conbadges for some freinds. Eventually I'll get to them, looking for the right mood to strike. Perhaps it will be today.

Next week I go away for training, and should be back on either Thursday or Friday. Not sure which day yet, but the powers that be are being so dang vague about this. I'd love to get clear instructions just once :P

When I get back, who knows? Next weekend is my weekend off call, so I may try to make the jorney to visit my family. We'll see if that happens or not.

I really need to get back into therapy, and I'm hoping that it happens next month. I can feel how going 6 months without has caused some backsliding and thats something I do not want. The journey to being a better, happier pony must continue.

Those of you that know me personally know that I'm a goverment employee and held to a pretty high standard as far as work ethics go. I'm sworn to do my duty and failing to do so can get me into trouble. That said, its a pretty easy going job, outside of firefighting and uasually pretty fun.

Today, I went to visit a rural landowner who owned a farm, and wanted a forest management plan on his timber. We do several of these plans each week, and they're uasually pretty mundane. Look at the trees, determine their health, age, stocking, density, etc, and write a report that reflects what should be done to improve the health of the forest.

Shortly after meeting the farmer, he mentions a gay pride parade that he saw on the news, and makes the comment "I saw them faggots all marching on TV. I dont call 'em gays. I call 'em faggots and queers. I dont know what yall think about them, or even care what anyone thinks about it, but I do know what the Bible says about it..." He rambled on for a few moments before my coworker changed the subject to other things.

At first, I was a bit suprised, and then hurt. I was here to serve this man, and he insults me, even if indirectly. In this situation, what should I have done? Should I asked him questions, to determine why he felt that way, and then point out other "things the bible says?" or should I simply have refused to conduct his exam and left? Prior to this, me and this landowner have got along very well, as he's on one of the fire departments I work with on a regular basis. Would I have been better served to simply tell him that I'm gay and I find his comments offensive?

Not really sure what I should have done, or really what I should feel about this. Any advice, insight, or even any comment is welcomed.

Current Mood: curious

I've been quiet on here for a while, and I apologise for that.

In the morning, I leave for Crossnore in the Moutains of NC for some training. I should be back on friday night. Those of you that know me, you can probably get in touch with me by text if you need me. Crossnore is known for having terrible phone reception.

See yall later!

I guess you could say I've got 3 dream jobs. One of them was to be a Forest Ranger. I did make that dream happen. Being a Forest Ranger is fun. Its a job filled with variety. From fighting forest fires, to planting trees, and explaining to homeowners how to care for their trees, its a very varried job. The pay isnt so good, and the on call hours suck, but it is a job that I enjoy most of the time.

My other dream jobs were to be a long distance truck driver, or to be a mechanic. I love to drive, but now days I'm not sure if I'm cut out to drive 40 hours a week. I think it would get old quick.

I do still love mechanical things, and I hope one day to build a sports car for myself. But on Forest Ranger pay, I dont know if I'll be able to afford it.

...or should I say healthy as a horse?

I just got back from a long trip, and on much of that trip, I had little choice but to eat some pretty unhealthy things. Add to that, I dont really take care of myself like I should.

This morning, I stepped on my scale and I saw 320lbs. It shocked me. I havent weighed that much since my freshman year of college, 9 years ago.

Starting tomorow morning, I'm going to work hard on loosing weight and getting back in shape. My current goal is 250lbs. After I get there, I'll see if I need to loose more or not. I've lost down to that weight before, but I got lazy again and over the following years, I gained it back. Most of it after I stopped smoking.

I hope to update this every few days and let yall know how I'm doing. Feel free to comment! I'll need the support!

I've been away forever, its seems, but I've been on a trip with Dixie for the last few weeks. Drove across the country, and saw some awesome things, and then flew back. If you tried to call me during that time, chances are, I didnt get your call, because I was in no-service areas the whole time.

Got alot of things to do at home, if I can just get of my lazy pony butt for a bit. I'll probably make several more posts today as I get stuff together.

Dixie and I just got back from the beach, and we had an awesome time. We saw the Battleship BB55 North Carolina, saw Wilmington, Southport, and Wrightsville Beach, Took some long walks on the beach, and just enjoyed each other's company.

It was fun, and I cant wait to go back.

I'm back from Anthrocon!

This year was deffinately better than last year's. I went with my freind Yami and several of her friends, and my dear little Dixie. This was my first time fursuiting, and I enjoyed it alot. It's something I plan to do lots of in the future.

I got to meet alot of awesome friends, I just regret that I didn't get to spend more time with each of you. There will be future cons though, and I intend to attend more of them.

I commisioned one pic and bought a few things at the dealer's den. I try not to spend too much at cons these days. My first con cost me over $1000.00 and I cant afford to ever do that again.

I do have lots of photos, and I plan to start uploading them in the near future. Be on the lookout for them!
