Part II - When the Music Changes, So Does the Dance

"We need quiet time to examine our lives openly and honestly. . . spending quiet time alone gives your mind an opportunity to renew itself and create order."
Susan Taylor

After posting my "It's My Blog, I'll Cry If I Want To" post and I said I was taking a break, I hightailed it out of town. My dad was going up to his property where he is retiring to and building a house, so I tagged along with him to get away, even if it was for just a short while, I needed it.

It was beautiful area, I sat out and just gazed at the mountains and breathed in the fresh air.....it was very peaceful and I needed that. I changed some personal beliefs that I previously held, I changed my thought process, and I decided to move forward and leave all my problems there in those mountains.

Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown.

"He who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never be able to change reality, and will never, therefore, make any progress"

Things then immediately began to change for me. The friends we were staying with had company over, who just so happens to be the daughters of a tribal head honcho type of person in the American Indian area we were in. They owned casinos and are heavily involved with a brand new big name Las Vegas Casino that is coming. The daughters loved me and we danced Cha Cha and Salsa for hours. They Loved Me Johnny.....they REALLLLLLLY loved me. Muahahahahahahaha - it's good to have connections with powerful people like this.

After getting back, I was completely refreshed. I still was staying away from the internet including reading any blogs.

The very first voicemail I heard upon my return was from my doctor, the voicemail said that I wasn't going to die because of my blood which was a great relief heh

A few days passed by when I was recruited by Fred Astaire Dance Studio to become a dance instructor. Which if I had been hired by the ambulance company I wouldn't have been able to take the job.

About a week later I had done a complete 180 on my thought process and my attitude. I waited a few days and realized it was time to apologize to my friends who I barked at uncalled for. So I sent each of them an email apologizing and hopefully I didn't cause to much damage to our friendships.

I don't shave every day because shaving sucks ass and I hate it...so I waited a week before I shaved and when I went to grab a razor I had no more. And because I didn't have a car to just run down to the store, I had to wait like another week before I could get some. So now I had a two week old beard, so I kept the goatee. Now I really look like I just crossed the boarder.

Blondie and I talked and all of a sudden it was like we were great friends, talking candidly about our situation and trying to make things the best for Curly Top (which is the way it should be all the time) considering our situation. It also helps that papers were served which means that in a few months I can re-marry again under the Laws of California. So I've already subscribed to Asian Midget Brides so I can select my new wife - I'm planning for the future. I think it also helps that Blondie is "talking" to a guy which takes a lot of pressure off of the situation between us.

I got my job situation under some kind of control, but now my office looks like a sumo wrestling match occurred in there. Ugh - but at least I have a system now that makes things a little better for me at work.

I started car shopping and decided to purchase a vehicle outright so I won't have any car payments - concentrating your money on one thing is better than supporting funny causes. Before buying a car, I bought a new laptop computer. I will now be able to post on a regular basis now....happy? (Ozi - I'll be giving a separate post all about my purchase - muahahahaha)

I decided on a used, but great vehicle in a Buick Regal, GS. Only downside is trying to clean my Mexican grease off of the leather
interior.

Wait TIMMY!....you had an Eclipse that you didn't fit in, total it, and then end up purchasing a Regal GS with leather interior and you got a new laptop?

That's right.

Nobody Rocks Like Me

So I'm thinking that my new plan will be to wreck my car every 3 years right when the accident goes off my record and upgrade my car.

I had a friend email me to let me know that they are looking for a roommate and they think I'm the 2nd Coming of Christ and want me as their roommate. Now that I don't have a car payment, I decide to take the offer.....aaaaaah, I have lived on my own since I was 18 and moving back in with my mom was a horrific thing to do. Especially my mom, she is ..... uhhhh, different. It's to hard to explain and you probably wouldn't understand my mom anyways so forget it.

While I'm having a Brazzle Dazzle Day, I decide that I might as well throw out the rest of my past. I took the leap and threw away my 10+ year old shoes that have disintegrated over the years and bought myself a brand new pair.

Yes, you may pick your jaw up off the ground, I threw away the pair of shoes that I said I would never throw away.

"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die in one life before we can enter another."
Anatole France

If being a Ballroom Dance Instructor wasn't gay enough for you, I allowed my cousin to finally talk me into highlighting my hair. I know I know....just when you thought I couldn't look any gayer I go and prove you wrong. Now with my goatee and my blonde highlights I look like a Latin Sugar Ray.

My Life went from bad to worse - to suicidal - to better - to good - to My Life is Better than Yours - again.

So lets recap on my super-charged revamped life:

  • Blondie and I are on the same page
  • I got a new job (still work at the law firm)
  • I got a new computer
  • I got a new car
  • I have a new home
  • I got a new pair of shoes
  • I have a goatee
  • I have highlights in my hair
  • I'm a single Latin Sugar Ray

    Whew - I have been one busy little beaner - I know that's an oxymoron but alas it is true.

    I'm back and without me - life is just aweso
