Okay so I have moved. Actually intially it was not something I wanted to do, but God had different plans for Tammy and I so we moved. Our new home (an apartment) is beautiful. Do you know that scene in Aladdin where Genie comes out of the lamp and explains to the street urchin and his little monkey one of the drawbacks to living for 100 billion years? "Eeety Bitty Living Space," is exactly what it feels like here.
We went from a 3 bedroom home with a basement, dining room, kitchen and storage shed to a 2 bedroom apartment, no storage shed (but we rented one offsite), no dining room, no basement...ahh.
I accumulate a lot of junk as a media junkie. Sure I got plenty on my hard drive, but I have that and more in boxes here too. Plus we have boxes of games we haven't unpacked yet because we don't really have a place for them. Grrr.
Anyway. I am much happier here. No lawn to mow. Private swimming pool (outdoor), carport, half the cost we were paying for our mortgage, oh and all carpet! Tammy hates carpet, but not me.
So back to art.
Hope you stop by and see me sometime...online...or IRL!

Devious Journal Entry
I have been seeing a counselor. It's the greatest thing in the world I could do for myself. Here is what I have learned so far.
No one person is capable of loving another person if they don't love God first. (I am a protestant, but I have not walked close with God for a long time.) Since I have tried to seek love, acceptance, and respect from other people, rather than God, I have pushed God away. Ironically, God is the only one capable of giving me what I need.
I cannot give another person what they need no matter how whole I am. I can only be what God created in me and find happiness when I realize that another person in my life can o

I'm sad to be writing this today. My wife of 17 years has decided our relationship is over. It actually ended in April. She filed for divorce in August, and I have struggled since then to understand. In my struggle, I have found several things to help me through.
I joined Match .com. Though events in the past few days have made me think I should stay away from Match (such as Crystal's reaction to my continuing friendship with Tammy, and Jessica's sincere plea that she has been hurt by a similar relationship with her exhusband) I am enjoying the possibilities. Unfortunately the success of the program is not yet evident; I need to uploa

Dumpster Diving and Sabrina
Today was really a busy day for me. I had a lot going on. After Tammy left for work, I went to get my hair cut, ran by the library to renew my card, and raided all the neighborhood recycle bins for magazines. My students have to make collages this week, and we need magazines to cut up. So yeah, I was kinda dumpster diving.
It was really funny because as people drove by, they gave me these peculiar looks. Like why is that guy in the trash. I even had one person scream obscenities as they sped by. I'm not sure what the point of that was, but I was on a mission. I figured if anybody questioned me about it, all I had to do is expl

Aw..
Sorry to hear you had to move, but you're right. He obviously has some sort of plan.
Miss you guys a lot.
Sometime when we're back in town, we'll all have to do lunch or something.
