• Have a happy guys.....

Well you all know i've been having some personal issues and had to abruptly leave on Friday. Well things haven't been going well in the Omni household for a while and they just came to a head. As much as I've never wanted to admit it my relationship has been far from perfect. Respect and appreciation have always been there but love, well that's been gone for quite some time. While I've never been one to quit on anything, a relatiohship for good or for bad, requires the energy of both involved to constantly work at making it functional enjoyable and worthwhile. That being said I'm tired. Tired of working at it 24/7 just to see the effort not put in and well....I've quit. Quit trying, quit caring about anything us related....put all my resources into beng the best dad I can be....being a better friend to those around me and have gotten absorbed into my work....and a large part...GS. And this is where it came to a head on Friday. Sat down and told her for the millionth time that I can't go on like this....not fair to me....to her..to Gabe. The end result?

A waiting game. Seeing what becomes of us. Don't know what will happen. Omni could be living in a van down by the river next week. But I'll know I laid it out......and well...that's all I can do....

Fini....

Well...sat down with a firend last night and got loaded for the first time in a long time.....Night kicked off with a shot around 9:30pm.....ended with me nappping on the floor about 2am.......who would have thought thin carpeting would be so cozy?....In all seriousness though had a great time talking, joking and being an asshat in general....Glad my company didn't mind nor take advantage of me when I was drank under the table......well okay I'm happy for one of the two..;):P

Seriously though.....had one of the best weekends I've had in a long time.....just happy to have such good people in my life....even though I may be a little preoccuppied with personal issues these days.....it's always nice to have somone to talk them out and laugh with.....well here's to a new week of locking and mocking.......cheers.....

Well......2 months ago I thought my life was complete...marrage...children...house...cats......job..thought I understood my beliefs....dreams ideology....but then...then something comes along that is unexpected......but so amazingly life changing that it makes you question yourself....and everything that you've ever thought to be truth...

so now the reset button has been pressed in life..back to the questioning and searching part again....and to tell you the truth it feels good.....everyone should sit back and take a look at their life...their beliefs.....dreams...aspirations.....people in it.....and see if it's truely what they want......and if they are the person they want to be.......in the long run this will make me a better person I know that......but treading into waters of uncertainty is certainly a nervous endevor.....

Well...it has come to my attention that a couple of friends I have are taking a lot of slack because they are friends with a mod.....Honestly this sucks...people need to realize that contrary to popular belief this floating red tag doesn't follow me into the real world dictating who I am nor who I can enjoy spending my time with. (though being honest I'd love to be able to suspend people from life sometimes);)..... If you were to ask anyone who has known me before my modship they will tell you I'm the same obnoxious jerk I have always been...if you like me great...if you hate me that's fine too..just hate me for the way I am..not my mod badge.....

Friends shouldn't back down on friends just because of others they hang out with....it's not you're place to dictate who others enjoy spending time with.....you should be friends with someone based on who they are with you....not how you perceive them to be when they are with other people......hopefully you'll get past the fact that they can have other friends outside of your own comfort zone...it'd be a shame to lose a friend because of ignorance.....

Anyway.....like I said..I'm not only a mod...but a GS forumite like yourself..whanna talk games...great...need someone to chat with about what beer is good....give me a holler....remember...my life doesn't revolve around making yours miserable....I'm just trying to make the boards a better place...i may screw up sometimes.....but it's never with any evil intentions in mind.....

Well i finally broke down, listened to a friend and got XBL...but as with everything it seems in my life....it was an adventure.....

• Bought XBL starter kit, StarWars Battle Front, DOAU.....
• Turned on XB
• Didn't work
• Bought New Xbox
• XBL starter Disc had no code/card
• after man ycustomoer service phonecalls.....found two month subscription free in DOAU.....
• Gets on...thankfully since MS couldn;t sell me a code online...

..so frustrating when you have the money yet no way to buy something (July 4th evening btw)

...anway....I'm generally on late nights 10-2am......gamertag OmniS1ash

..........hope everyone is haveing a great day.....trying to get some work done while my better half is off the boards...;)

Well it's after 12am...it's legit..:P....
Hope you guys get to sepnd the day with those you care about...if not..I hope you can be happy with those your with...

..sit back and enjoy the 4th the way our Forefathers intended....drunk...... stuffed and blowiing stuff up........

This Monday I decided to grow a pair....(or g.a.p. if you preferr).....and get my sorry arse back into the gym....well today is the last session for the week...the dreaded Legs and Shoulders day.....ugg.....before I get into that trainwreck lets go with a recap shall we?...........

• Monday-Chest and Triceps.....yeah...well lets just say there are 13 year old girls who can put up more......in my prime I could bench 275 for 4.......I struggled to get 190 up for 3........felt okay till tuesday afternoon...then the soreness set in...it's almost gone though...but getting my son out and into his carseat was an adventure.....

...

• Tuesday/Thursday-cardio and abs.......I have abs...really I do.....there just.....ummm hiding..........well...hiding or not...they hurt today...the half hour on the bike isn't bad because i've been jogging a lot on the mornings (started friday)......but at the end of my jogging it feels like i smoked a pack of marbs.....in about 2 hours.....

.....

• Wednesday......Biceps and back.....actually...I was pleasently surprised with the results....less strength lost than I though....though by arms are a pain to straighten....litterally.....back feels only a little sore.....

...well that brings us to today....legs are alwayst the worst after an extended period of non-lifting....I'm just praying I can stand so I can get the house stuff done tomorrow.....if not....the wife'll be bitter...:p

well that's it..another fun week in the life o' Omni............hopefully I'll make it through week 2 ...:)

Well here it chez Omni......

....I've lived here for almost 2 years now......it's a great little first house......

...as you look down either end of the street you kinda get a glimps of hte newighborhood I'm in...not rich...nor poor...jsut middle of the road.....very peaceful.....

...houses are a little too close together...(negative thing about being in the city..especially growing up hick the way I did......)....but I could never go back...too much to do and see.....

anyway that's it....I'm about an hour away from getting back into the gym....expect a journal entry about that tomorrow.....if I'm still alive........

Well I'm leaving in about 5 hours....flying down to Baltimore to help my best friend and his (pregnant) Wife move into their new home......should be a fun weekend though I'll definately miss some people. Tried to get a friend to come down with me but alas it wasn't in the cards. Since i won't be here tomorrow it would be greatly appreciated if somone could post a what games are you playing this weekend thread in GGD and VU......

You may have noticed I've been on Aim and the boards more at night....and while you may think that its because of my midget porn fascination...(and you'd be partly right)...the fact is that thereare about to be big changes in the omni houshold...I'll be switching to a late night schedule soon in order to take care of Gabe and (most likely Sophia)......$1600 a month for childcare is rough.....so I figured I'd fight the good fight for a while till My wife starts looking for a Different Job....then I'll be going back to school......

but if you're sick of me now....just wait till you can't escape me during the night shift.....:P.....
