This Thanksgiving…

This Thanksgiving I am feeling more thankful than usual…

Found a job I love here in WNY close to my family and friends

All those I care about in general are in good health

Better off financially than we were this time last year (see part about job here in WNY)

and  I have actually started to re-connect with some members of my father’s side of my family… it may have taken 24 ish years, but it is finally happening…

Looking forward to all the things I am working towards and hoping for for the next 12 months :)

Random annoyance…

We interrupt your normal viewing of this blog for a mild rant about the irresponsibility of some people…

Yes this will border on political… So my big annoyance right now is people who use abortions as birth control. Yes I am pro-choice, and I am sure that confuses some of you, but hear me out. There are lots of reasons that abortion needs to stay a viable option… I don’t want nor need to know why people choose to do what they do when a) it doesn’t affect me or anyone I care about, but if that person is going to choose to share far too much info with me then just grr.

I now have had the pleasure to know too many people who have done this… I just don’t understand, If you don’t want to have a baby then there are much safer, happier, healthier / smarter ways to not have a baby then to have an abortion…  Hell I’ll even give people 1 freebie for the excuse of their choice, but when the same woman comes in 2, 3, 4, + times over the course of her child-bearing years to have “it taken care of” I find that nauseating, disturbing and frankly stupid.

Attempts…

  I must say when you try to be organized in an everly increasing unorganized place it can start to take its toll on you.

Between some unfortunate and unexpected events this weekend and a msg received this morning I foresee the next week or so of my life being ever more crazy.

I do LOVE my job… I do ADORE my family and friends… and as a previous boss told me, in our profession it is important to make the most of the time away from work that we do get as to keep our priorities right. Smart man. I do feel like I try to do that, even if at times it might not look that way to those around me. Family is a priority, Friends are a priority. (Yes the lines there are blurred at times too :) ) However work too needs to be a minor priority as it is what allows those other things to be priorities.

Yesterday was my 1st full day off in about 2 weeks. (I know that I am luckier than some when it comes to that.) I was supposed to have another day off next sunday… it’s not looking like that is going to happen.  Yet when I turn in my time sheets I am getting told / asked why I don’t have my 1 day off a week that I am supposed to take.

These things are fine and part of the job, I do understand that… however when people are unorganized around you it makes it harder to yourself be organized. Last minutes schedule changes should be rarities not the norm. When re-scheduling things that had to be canceled I find it hard to believe one would give someone less than 24 hr notice… yet it does happen, and at times can’t be helped. Again though these should be rarities not the norm.

Life in our home… recently…

Posted by brenworld on October 19, 2011

So we are all back to our somewhat usual lives again, thanks to the school season being back in full swing. Lori is still working as a one on one aide in a special needs class. I have to say that I am so happy that she enjoys her job. Jessie started middle school this year. This is both frightening and exciting for us all. While I have a job doing what I love at a local small college being their athletic trainer.  We have all been so busy with things but we still try to find at least a day a week to just do some fun stuff together be it home or out and about.

Midnight seems to enjoy our new schedules – he gets to have extra cuddle time, and isn’t home alone as much. The cats on the other hand seem as indifferent as usual.

Extended family & friends – Holy cow don’t drink the water in WNY unless you want to get engaged, married or pregnant. Congrats to everyone on all of these things. Yes we have been to a lot of weddings and seen many a new babies and there are more weddings and babies to come. We are already scheduling weddings and baby visits well into next summer so if you have any more of these such joyous occasions to add please let us know. :)

LONG TIME>……

No I did not fall off the face of the planet… Well maybe I did, but I am back now. I am hoping to update life on this periodically.

I must say it was definitely interesting going through and recapping everything I had posted on here before and cleaning it up some.

WOW

Wow It’s been a long time since I have done anything with this… I am hoping that with this new year I might be able to keep up with this a bit more…

2010 in recap is best left as a year that I in general hope not to have to repeat… far too many funerals, esp at the end.

So Onward and Upward we go

day 21 – fave movie quotes…

Posted by brenworld on June 6, 2010
Posted in: Uncategorized. Tagged: blog, faves, game, meme, movies. Leave a Comment

Lets turn this one interactive…

I’ll give the quotes and you give the movie title…

1) Because through love, we feel the intensity of our connection to everything and everyone. And at the core we are all the same. We’re all one.

2)I’m here because I feel more like me when I’m with you, than I do when I’m with me.

3)What am I part of, Jack? An issue? Don’t you get it? Issues are what they use to divide us. Sexual orientation, race, gender… All issues that don’t actually pertain to anyone except those being cut out and thrown away by the issue. Does it really matter to some farmer in Kansas whether or not two men get married in Vermont…

4)A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.

5)I’m pond scum. Well, lower actually. I’m like the fungus that feeds on pond scum

6)Y’know, this was supposed to be my weekend off, but noooo. You got me out here draggin’ your heavy ass through the burnin’ desert with your dreadlocks stickin’ out the back of my parachute. You gotta come down here with an attitude, actin’ all big and bad…

7)Ouch, it’s the plight of the bisexual. Gay girls won’t play with you.

8)Your church doesn’t like alcohol or homosexuals. Hmm… Well, I’m definitely not joining. Can’t imagine heaven without both.

9) Just because you’re gay and totally in love with my wife doesn’t mean we can’t work things out.

10)Because you didn’t know she felt the same way about you… or if she did, for some reason it wasn’t okay… thought that people wouldn’t like it. And one day, after months, years, it’s just another day, nothing special, just the two of you. For some reason everyone’s out of the house. You can’t turn back, you can’t let go, you can’t stop – as if you were one person, defying gravity, together.

Honestly it depends on the day

Sunday: null and void til Dexter comes back on showtime

Mon: House

Wed: Mercy (stupid NBC for canceling), SVU, Parenthood

Thur: CSI – the original

I guess if I had to pick just one I would have to go with Law and Order SVU

Day 6 – Fave Song

Posted by brenworld on May 22, 2010
Posted in: Uncategorized. Tagged: blog, game, music. Leave a Comment

Now this really was a difficult choice to make

I went to my Itunes list and looked at the top 5 songs…

All Over Me Now – From the Loving Annabell soundtrack

The space between what’s wrong and right,
You will find me waiting for you.
All your fortresses go down in the night.
To the dawn I’ll see you through.

CHORUS
Cause I know, that you know,
You’re all over me now.
And it’s clear, you will show,
And your curtains will close.
But if your heart is cold,
My sheets are warm.
I will shelter you,
Through the storm.
I will shelter you,
All through the storm.

VERSE
If the answers aren’t so easy to find,
The questions will have to do.
‘Cause I’ve lost myself deep in your eyes,
My only fix is you.

CHORUS
Cause I know, that you know,
You’re all over me now.
And it’s clear, you will show,
And your curtains will close.
But if your heart is cold,
My sheets are warm.
I will shelter you,
Through the storm.
I will shelter you,
All through the storm.

*Musical bridge*

Say what I am,
What we are,
It’s a start towards the truth.
Taking my breath,
With each delicate step
In my heart it’s you.

The space between what’s wrong and right,
You will find me waiting for you.
