New toy!!!

Hey all, I hope things are going well for you and your families.

I think I've finally got the crazy EX out of my life. After I posted my last blog, she called, begged, pleaded, texted, etc. wanting me to give her another chance. Like the sucker I was I did because I didn't want to have any doubts about "what if".

WELL, now there is no doubt in my mind. That girl has Fairmont running through her veins and never planned to move down to Parkersburg with me. She wanted the single lifestyle during the week, and then the boyfriend/girlfriend situation on the weekends. The part-time thing was ok when I was 20, at 29 - IT'S OVER!

So...I was sitting at work today trying to figure out what kind of hobby that I was going to pick up and learn. I needed to find something to occupy my time so I wasn't thinking about Fairmont. I have always fancied myself a singer...not the best by any means, but I think what gives me an advantage is my memory when it comes to songs...I can retain lyrics like you wouldn't believe. After a few times listening to a song, I usually have it committed to memory.

But I never have learned how to play any instruments. I absolutely LOVE sitting around a bonfire and having a few buddies play guitar while we all sing. So...I ordered myself a new toy...a guitar! And not just a guitar, but all the necessities needed to teach myself how to play it, or so they claimed. It had good reviews online so it is worth a shot.

But I AM going to play the guitar. That's my early New Years goal. If this kit doesn't help me, I'll even start taking professional lessons. OR, god knows between all the guitar players I know, I'll buy them a few cases of beer and have them over every weekend, though I think my memory retention might suffer!

Basically I'm just trying to live for me again! I spent all summer under the false pretenses that I was spending my time with someone who was worth it. Now, that the truth is out, my summer is over and I need to find something to occupy my time. Though it is true that I have met some new friends already through Myspace/Facebook. I bolded friends because that's all they are! I'm not nor have I ever cheated on a girl before...and sadly I don't think she had it through her head yet that JR here isn't going to play her games anymore. But the new friends I have met seem awesome! One in particular we share SO much in common that it's scary! Funny side-bar: I about fell out of my chair this morning...I had e-mailed this person yesterday and she hadn't responded all day. NO BIGGIE! But this morning she e-mailed me and told me that she was really sorry for not responding earlier!!! OMG! I never got a sorry from my girl friend (Fairmont) whom never called or texted me back...and here's this girl that I am ONLY friends with (AND never met) and she's apologizing for not e-mailing me sooner! LOL That's one of the things that made me realize I was DONE with FAIRMONT!!!


BUT...BACK to the hobby thing...SURE! I'm still going to be playing poker. But there isn't always a game around here and the trips to Crosslanes and Wheeling can get boring (like driving to Fairmont)! LOL

My new toy should arrive by Friday of next week. I'm sure I'm going to be spending all next weekend attempting to learn to play! I'll post pics when I book my first gig...LOL...yeah right! ;-)

Well, thanks for reading everyone! It's time to hit the SACK!!!
