It's time to do a magic trick.

Okay, so I've never been one to blog... About anything.  I've never thought it would be very useful.  But as I get older and I have more and more things on my mind, I'm starting to wonder if it wouldn't help to jot down some things every now and then.  So this magic trick won't be about making a pencil disappear, but to see if I can and/or will do this.  

I'll start with my attempt at my current life situation in a nut shell...

I'm currently 30 years old, I've been married to the loveliest woman Lori for 6 years as of two days ago, I have a Bachelor of Science in Film, I have 2 cats, and I'm... scratch that...  My wife and I are currently in one of the hardest times of lives.  We've decided that Los Angeles is no longer where we want to be; although, I think it's mostly me; and we're living in separate cities trying to make money to make our future work.  On top of that, I've developed a strange and sometimes painful lump under my right arm, on the backside on my armpit; which may have led to an inflamed liver.  In addition, the doctors I've seen can't really spread too much light on the subject as I do not have health insurance right now and can not afford the tests they'd like to run.  The good thing is that they don't seem to be too worried about it yet.  I think if it was life threatening they would push or just flat out tell me I need to do them.  Woo Hoo!  Wait, no, that sucks rat balls.  

That pretty much sums up the current situation.  The good things I have going for me is that I do have Lori, regardless of the fact that she is nearly 700 miles away.  I know she is always with me.  I'm also back where I spent most of my life; in Southern Oregon.  I've been living with Lori's parent's, David and Danna Lee Gustafson.  They have been ridiculously great to me.  They treat me like I am their own son.  They've never made me feel like just some guy that married their daughter.  On top of that, many of my old friends are here.  For the most part I've been spending my time with Curtis; a friend since high school, and my friend Ginger; my friend since 1997.  They're both really great about giving support and just being my friend while I am away from my other half.  My immediate family is here as well.  And while I'm sure they wished they saw me more often, I just don't make the time.  Most of them are busy with their own lives but they try their best to spend time.  They try harder than I do.  I've always been closer to my friends then my family, and I always make time for my friends; despite being slapped in the face for it on more than one occasion.

I'm going to go ahead and wrap this up.  I could probably drone on and on about whatever once I get started.  I think this is a good start.  Let's see when I write again.
