The man who know too little

Slacker

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 16:25:11 GMT

That's write I am calling him out, oh wait it is me. OK, so I have been a slacker but on this special day(my birthday) I decided I would stop being a slacker and try to give a summary of what I have been doing....

First well, uh, mmmmm, ok nothing I have no excuse but being lazy, and unmotivated. Since my story are boring but I should have atleast let you know I was a live.

But for those who don't know I have become a protoge to Mistress Gen, there will be an offical ceremony when we get a date together. But I appreciate the honor of doing so and hope not to let her down. :) As a side note my arms are finally approved, yay!

Will be ending therapy by the end of the week, so I will have to join society again and do some work instead of lounging around the house. I have a meeting to discuss this with disability so maybe the will be able to help me find a job in this economical downfall.

So I guess I really need to get on the wagon on my home work out program so I am not a complete blob when the world see ma again. :) Or maybe to keep up with my therapy.

Well that should be a quick up date, any questions feel free to ask! :)

hospitals

Thu, 08 May 2008 01:30:38 GMT

After the last 10 or so months I would think I have seen enough of hospitals, BUT my friend had a scide effect of his medication, and that same day his farther had pass away so my brother, chris, john and I went to see him. He was doing ok for the situation, and is slowly recovering from this illness side effect thing.
Of course mom had her other knee replaced so we spent time waiting on things to be finished so we could see her. After my therapy we got to see her and hug her, the usual things you do to your mom.
All this time at hospitals the last two days which is a short stint I most admit, I have a deeper appreciation for all of those people who took out time to come see me when I was in the hospital. I really can't say thank you enough and appreciate all the hope you all have given me.
I love you all.

Things to apologize for

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 16:11:06 GMT

This is bit over due but needs to be done, I need to apologize to a few people and to the everyone else. Master Robert was kind enough to come help to clean up at Night on the Town and I was very annoying by trying to be funny, and for that I am sorry. The same to master Allen this past weekend I do apologize. To Brian for not giving my enduring thanks to, for doing so much at Night on the Town.

I am sorry it is so late but I always seem to forget to do some things, and it is usually communicating things, for that I am sorry for those people I have bugged. As sad as it is to blame I need to relaern my self and just slow on doing that.

One step done

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 21:46:07 GMT

Well today was the last day of my driving rehab, and i passed with flying colors. Now i have to wait for her paper work so i can have the car converted, then i have to wait for the MVA to send me paper work so i can do this thing already.

As you can tell i want to drive again so i have some freedom. It is kinda dull being at home ALL the time, but like every thing else i just have to be patient. Learning how to be patient totally sucks just in case anybody wants to know but sometimes you do what you have to do.

Driving Practice part Doux

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 21:57:37 GMT

This time driving was much better, no walkers in the road, nobody try to hit me it was great! I have to work on my driving style to match my instructors but besides that, I had a great time much better than the first. Will do better as time goes better.

driving practice

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 23:19:19 GMT

So as I have mentioned, I have to go through some driving practices with my instructer before I am cleared to take a retest to get my license back. So Monday I had my first of six classes to make sure I am not dangerous (or to dangerous) to drive a car, and so i passed all the test she had to start and i parelled park to the right aspects.

Then there was driving on the road, so we went to a neighborhood by Saini hospital that wasn't to busy. Got close to the parked cars on the side of the road from time to time and my turns could be tighter. But to be honest it was all new using my left hand to steer and left foot for gas weird. So i was driving down a road and this lady had a stop sign but it seemed as though she didn't see the only car driving on the road that was my first scare.
ini
Then she wanted to see how i would do in a little congestion so she had me go to a strip mall. Getting there was fine and she wanted me to park in one of the parking places so i yurned down the row and there is a old guy walking down the middle of the ailse. Not by the cars where it safe, right down the middle, lucky he was far enough not to be in any danger but still scared me eventuallt he got out of the way and I parked nicely and on to the last part of the driving test.

So she had me take us back to the hospital which kinda scared me but I braved the people and went on. Which all went fine till we got to the turn before the hosoital. We were going to turn and waited for the light to turn green. So the light turned green and started to turn left then all of sudden the instructer is yelling at a car that just barely stooped before colliding in to us. So then i made it back to Saini, and was glad to be parked.

One day i will look back and laugh but as they happened it wasn't a bunch of fun. I hope next thursday will go better.

Back to normal

Thu, 21 Feb 2008 15:59:02 GMT

Well i pass the first step to drive today, just have to practice with new assistant devices (6 appointments already set) then have to retake my driving test. Through this whole ordeal i have felt like a have had to regrow up to the point i am now. It is long but beneficial road i have been on i hope to gather more independence as I venture forward.

i survived Universty

Tue, 05 Feb 2008 23:07:44 GMT

As yourself there is no danger at University, what is he talking about? Well about an hour from site the right front tire exploded and though no one got hurt, we did suffer some hold why I stood around and watch Kynny change the tire. I did feel bad that I couldn't or I wouldn't help cause I know I would just be in the way really. After the tire incident we finally got there, and while I goofed around by saying my hellos to everyone, taking my MOL classes. Kynny unfortunally went and got 4 new tires on the car and finally showed up to sit in on the marshal's class. All in all i had a good time seeing everyone and spending time with Kynny.

I hope everyone else had a fun time and I wish you all well at Ymir this weekend. Please pass on well wishes and smiles on to all you see for me, and please speard the word about NotT. :)

Thank you

Selfish

Sun, 27 Jan 2008 07:27:40 GMT

I have been pretty selfish over the 6 or so months and everyone seems to says to get better and such ,or concentrate on you. Sounds good but then you sorta of get the attitude that your all that matters. I know it is not true but mind on yourself for so long will do that to you. In november i really started to fell like myself mentally wise at least and was working hard to get back physically which it doesn't seem as bright but as everyone tells me it is a good thing i am young. Sorry for ignoring a lot of things, i feel like i am missing a lot of people but with school on tuesday nights i don't get to see everyone anymore and it makes my sad. I know if anything would happen I would get wind but it is not the same as hearing from the person when it is happening or at least the week it happens. I guess i feel out of touch with you guys and well it is the slow time of the year for events and as soon as school is done in march you will be seeing a little more of me.

But as things go, they are going ok and I still have therapy for my hands and hopefully i will motivate myself to do self physical therapy. As you all know it small improvements and hard to tell from week to week but I know i am a hell of a lot better when i think of me paralyzed in the bed. So I should take what the good lord gives me and just move on to getting better. I can't say it enough but thank you for all of your support, it means a lot to know i have other people to lean on.

University

ok it's been to long......

Fri, 21 Dec 2007 01:03:42 GMT

I learned today that i might get out of pt in three weeks so my leg is pretty much as good as it is going to be, and i only need to work on my arm after that. Most likely will be with my family friends for new years though i would love to visit all my friends for the new year though i have transportation issues and i don't want to tax others with my burdens. But if i don't see you please have a safe holiday and enjoy the time with your family and friends.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Story of a lazy zombie

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 23:42:35 GMT

It all started with the pain in my shoulder and I thought it would just work it way out, until I found myself out side of a assitant living complex. I was hungry but didn't really want to work to get some food, so I waited for the trash person to open the door, and I snuck my way in. As I started to feed on the poor innconcent victims that I passed, some didn't even seem to notice I was eating there brains. I mean as a zombie I felt pretty unhappy that there was no screaming or panicing, some even greeted my like a long lost friend. It was all going good till, I had ate to much and fell in to the coma like state of a big hearty meal. I woke up just in time to see the fire axe screaming towards my head, and I moved just in time so it was a glancing blow off my head. That was the point when zombie rage started and I took it out on eveyone that was around, as I ran out the front door covered in blood i was met with a single shot to my chest. As I looked up, a smoking shotgun greeted me, and a voice from behind it screamed "I got your Atlantian Mythology 101 right here!".............................................

Dear god the pain

Mon, 11 Jun 2007 03:07:35 GMT

I have had the most painful 2 days, and i don't think it is going to get any better, i have a pinched nerve, right at the base of my neck on the left hand side. Just enough pain to make me want to shoot someone else but not myself, though i did fight through the pain and bought my would for the bed i am going to make. Hopefully i will be done that in time for Pennsic, or I guess I will be sleeping on the ground. I hope everyone had fund at Higland River Melees and all returned home safe and with out heat stroke becuase of there wool pants!

University

Mon, 04 Jun 2007 23:38:24 GMT

It was my first University event and I packed it full of classes which all in all were fun and educational. Just have to remember that I don't have the attention span to take a two hour class, i just start to get like a caged animal and want to run screaming. But I guarded Her Majesty during court, talked to people I haven't seen in a while, and learned new things that I think I will enjoy doing. Which happens to include a 9 foot pole that is used to hit people, I know what you are thinking, how could I every enjoy whacking people with objects. Not sure why and how I do, but it makes me smile and giggle inside, even if I do get whacked as well.

After University I attended a party where apparently I found out that lots of people care for me, as they kept telling me to eat things, instead of my diet of Captain and cokes. So eventually as you can probably find out that I got kind of silly later due to my diet for the evening, and was very thankful when the hosts said I should sleep on the couch. So I wish to thank all who told me to not drive home, and to stay there for the night.

Which was good in the morning when they fixed breakfast for me, and then I helped clean up a little then enjoyed the company of good friends, which I don't always seem to be able to do. So it is my goal to spend more time talking with my friends and getting know other people and things as to improve myself. Thank you for a fun party and wonderful company

Sapphire Joust

Wed, 30 May 2007 22:59:41 GMT

Yeah I know it is Wednesday, but I thought I would give me opinion on the event.

A) Hot it was, I fought until I was out of the tourney but after about 21 fights in the heat I think i was ready for a break.

B) I enjoyed the event, full of fighting, good company, and good fun.

C) When not fighting on Sunday, I guarded for Her Royal Majesty, as well as guarded for Her Royal Majesty for both courts.

D)Also accompanied their Excellencies for the procession on Sunday, and spent time talking to His Excellency about heavy fighting.

E)Made my brother and our friend sit through some hillbilly karaoke as we enjoyed average food at best, but it was the on the way back to the hotel, and after Saturdays heat all i wanted to do is eat and then go to sleep.

F)Then enjoyed the ride home, even though I did get yelled at by a police officer on a bike, I believe he said he had been following me for 15 miles, and that i should slow the F**k down. Not really sure cause my music was too loud but i slowed down anyways, then he just disappeared. So maybe it was just heat exhaustion.

Weekend of work

Mon, 21 May 2007 01:59:25 GMT

Well technically it was just a 5 hour block on saturday that i had to do yard work, though that was after I had to actually do work work on Saturday. I don't have to very often but everyonce in a while I do and it was painless. Returned my mothers day gift for mom, a CD in the box set was messed up so i just needed to switch it out, I guess next time I will actually save the reciept to make thanks a little easier. After edging the grass for 5 hours my brother came over with the family and are friend Dan and his family came over as well, and we had a big dinner and talked about plans for Sapphire Joust.

On sunday when I woke up I felt like a bus had hit me right in my back, tried to stretch it out, which was just painful, so i tried 800 mg of advil. That didn't really help either so I just sucked it up and lounged in a chair and watched a couple of movies. Trying to move as little as possible, and that seemed to work until i had to get up and move, but it is the price I must pay. All and all a good weekend of relaxtion and can't wait to see a bunch of people at Sapphire.

Happy Mother's Day

My first Crown

Tue, 08 May 2007 21:26:30 GMT

It was an enjoyable weekend, starting on Friday when I was told that I almost killed my passenger 5 times appearently on the way down. Then he said I was a worse driver than my brother, which I would have told him if he would only have asked! Poor Brian, but he was a fighter, no screaming maybe a concerned look everyonce and a while but that was it. We arrived on site about 6:45pm then got right to work helping set up whatever we could, and made sure that Thjora and Gen where set up and ready for the next day so it would be one last thing they had to be concerened about on Saturday. On the way back to the hotel we stoped at a resteraunt that Brain use to go to when he was in school at JMU, The Pulman, and I had a couple of Captians and cokes, as Brian and I enjoyed some stakes and chatted some.

On Saturday we got up early and went to the grocery store got some things and then headed to site, we got there around 8:30 and started setting up Gen's tent for the day. As we waited we just helped out where ever it was needed till everything was setup and ready. Then the procession started and I was busy the rest the day, standing guard for the queen during procession, helping out Lord Philip during the tourney. Then after the tourney I went and talked to the Haralds to get my name and arms submitted so Gabrell could actually offically exist in the world. Then I guarded the queen for about an hour before court til the end of court, then enjoyed some food and company during feast. We finished out the evening helping to clean up the kitchen after feast, then I tried not to kill us both on the way back to the hotel through the unlit, sometimes unpaved back roads out of the event, and we finished up the evening with some ice cream. It was a fun day of fighting, hanging out with friends, and a little work, all in all a good day.

Wiffleball game 2

Tue, 01 May 2007 22:07:18 GMT

So on Saturday after my class was over I came home and my brothers where here so we decided not to waste the cool day and we should play a game of wiffleball. It was a game full of twists with Kynny hittin the first homerun, then Chrsyander tied it at one. Little Zach came out and tried hitting a few yard only to come a little short but he enjoyed it. Little Zach came out to give dad some advise on how to pitch to his me. It was a day of fun by all, the game ended with a tie of 2 between Kynny and Chrys, I gave it a go in the last at bat only to have warning track power. Shameful it was of me not to defened my title from the first game.

But I am gearing up for Crown this weekend, looking forward of a day of rest and enjoyment where all I have to do is watch fighting. Since that won't happen I will just make the best I have been asked to help and it my pleasure to do so. I hope to see everyone there, and I wish all the fighters the best of luck.

Oh and I addes some more pictures to amuse the masses, please don't point and laugh! :)

Sore for the day

Mon, 23 Apr 2007 22:44:51 GMT

After my wonderful round at the Atlantian Kingdom Archery shoot (24, which was the lowest score in my group though my group had some heavy shooters in it), I got home and made some stuff for the friends party I went too. Which I did have a wonderful time lifting some weights (rum and cokes) and enjoyed some cardio (shooting pool), Enjoyed the company of all that were there and hope that i didn't make to much of a fool of myself or to much of a mess before I stumbled home.

Then on Sunday we had a family party for my brothers birthday, which in the morning i ran all over the great city of Glen Burnie trying to find his present, typical of me to wait to the last minute do to things, eventually I did find his gift in FYE in Marly Station Mall. I did tell Kynny that he had to bring his Guitar Hero II for the XBox 360 so we can jam out some tunes. After the fiasco of the present I sat down to rest before i had to start preping food, and my right arms was aching, and i didn't have a clue why till i rememered what I did the day before. Of course we all pigged out on a chinese feast that could have fed double the people the attended, and all the food was excelent as usual, my parents are excelent cooks. So after dinner we decided to play some wiffle ball in the yard for a couple of hours, which i ended up winning 2-0. Then it was time for ice cream cake and cheese cake, did i mention we could have fed double the people :), and presents for the monkey man. After everyone left I helped clean a little then I chilled a little then collapesed in bed.

Which brings me to Monday and the title of this post, which is i rolled out of bed and cursed the heavens for my activities for the weekend has cought up to me, I really need to get in to shape cause this is ridiculous. But my grandparents are visting which means more food then I actually need, and if you don't eat a lot they ask what the hell is a matter with me. :) Well maybe not but they do ask if i feel alright, the only ask cause the care right?

Day off

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 22:35:10 GMT

After feeling like a got run over by a DC-10 last night, i took the day off. I felt quilty doing it like i always do, I hate calling out of work, but it had to be done. So on my day off I booked a hotel for Crown, and then i slept 5 hours. Pretty useless day, but I do feel better since i slept, and now I am in class trying not to sleep more. Getting excited about going to Kingdom Archery shoot this weekend, I enjoy archery, it is my go out and have fun no matter what. I don't put in expectations on me, well atleast not big ones, so it is a stress free day and i just enjoy walking around and shooting.
