I do remember that group from back in the mid 90's. Sounds like that prayer helped you course correct for the day. How was the event?

It was good man. It wasnt very crowded at all. I thought opio would he pissed about that but apparently he was chillin with all the locals beforehand and when he got on stage all he talked about was how much he loves the Dallas scene and talent. He just kept smiling and talking good about us. He definitely was not faking it. But it was very personal so there was a lot of eye contact and afterwards I got to talk to him. I couldn't really think of much to say but I got to shake his hand at least. Was cool. Just reminds me that these ppl we put on a pettistool are real ppl too. Like the rest of us.

Isn't this guy kind of a hippocrite (Donald Altman)? Going from being a Buddist Monk to a rich and famous author seems a little self serving.

Wow...I think I need to go to a meeting. Here I go taking other peoples inventory and getting seriously judgemental. What an asshole...yay me.

Was the book any good? Coming from a former monk, he should at least know what he's talking about. I just don't want to get to the point where I'd be willing to turn myself into a living candle.
 
had an informal interview with my old boss who I worked for while using. she said she needs to think over re employing me but I'm hopeful. good time to make some amends on my part while having a job.

That's awesome! I hope your first day went well :) I'd love to work with animals all day. I've considered becoming a vet tech but I couldn't deal (emotionally) with the sad stuff.

Yeah I hear you on this one. I've only had to put one dog down, and it sucks so bad. I keep thinking, what right do we have to do that to animals? Its a confusing topic for me.
 
I look at it as we have the most developed sense of morals on the planet and that we do it to benefit the dog instead of having it suffer naturally till it's time is out. I don't look at it whether we have a "right" to do it as much as it is simply the right thing to do.

How's everyone doing today? Kinda stressed out today my ex called me today asking me to tell her how to safely shoot coke even though she knows im almost 90 days clean. Very frustrating but I just told her that she needs to get help and that's all I'll be able to help her with, I won't give her any advice on using what so ever except that shooting coke brought me to my knees 100000000000x faster than dope could ever do. Have a good, safe night everyone.

Wow. Just wow. Today was a very spiritual day. Went to my moms house and we watched old home videos from my 4th birthday. Words cannot describe.

The innocence.. The happiness... It was like Something from a movie. I gave her the butterfly painting and she loved it.

I went to me grandmas house and drive home in the car.

As I was arriving back in the city, I saw the sunset over the skyline, the music was goin, and I had an intense spiritual moment. I felt like I was rolling. But that's just it, it's so much better. More real. I'm finally connected. It's all making sense now.

This is what it's all about...

Here's a pic we found in the photo album of my dad and I.

This made me cry. Both the photo and what you wrote about the experience.
 
First day at work went well. One of the chicks (she's a cutie btw) pretty much grilled me on why I quit working before. Of course I used my expert lying skills to tell her it was for school. If I were honest I'd be breaching my hiring contract and would be fired. "So why you quit?" "I had a full school schedule and the commute was killing me" "oh really? Is that why you quit?" "Yup" "so it was because of school you quit?" "Yeah I couldn't swing both school and work well" "oh okay. So that's why you quit?" It was like she was trying to extract info from me. I'm a junkie/criminal, girl. I lied for years for a living. I could make you believe the sun is green, we live in Antarctica, and that you're gonna sleep with me tonight (I wish lol).

Aside from that, I was nice to the couple of cute girls, cracked jokes, and helped them out. Looks like sero got some eye candy at work for now.

I'm glad you liked it. I've always been pretty fond of you and you've always been very supportive toward me, even in my darker days. That doesn't go unnoticed and I want you to know I'm thankful for it. Keep up the good work and continue to touch other people's lives the way you've touched mine.
 
Worked 6 days straight and got a short two hour shift on Wednesday. Ill have 55 hours or so this week. Yay
