Life is amazing sometimes

As I get older, life is changing, I feel constantly challenged to either change with it or just let it pass me by. Me being the perfectionist I am always wants to step it up to the next level. I feel as though something big is on the way, what that is I am not sure of. But I will keep my mind open and my eyes searching for it.

My blog is returning this weekend

I know it has been a while but I will be posting at least 3 times a week again starting this weekend.

Learn

We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.
  - Tom Stoppard

Thankful

    I am so thankful for many things in my life. I have a great job, a nice home, and many friends that I care and love. I also have a God who is there no matter what. A God that has seen me screw up as many time as I have pleased him. A God who is always there to pick me up and help me along the way to my next goal. I know I am not perfect and I know that I will always make mistakes, but I am thankful for that second chance.

10 things I have learned this year

So many times I have read on people's blogs, 10 things to change your life, 10 things to help you lose weight, or 10 things to improve your sex life. Taking a step back I feel that in order to progress in life we must realize what has made us into who we are. I can say without joking and in all seriousness, that 2008 has been one of the most trying yet rewarding in my 26 years of existence. Many of you know what I have been through and I have got to say that without good friends and my faith in God I would not have made it. With that being said here are 10 things I have learned this year, enjoy. 1.) Sometimes those who you love the most can hurt you the worst. 2.) You are stronger than you could ever imagine if you trust in yourself. 3.) Friends are sometimes the only crutch you have to lean on. 4.) Family is always there for you no matter what. 5.) God is bigger than anything you can ever imagine. 6.) Depression is real and can control your life. 7.) Counseling is good for you and although I used to make fun of it, it helped me alot. 8.) Love can hurt worse than any physical pain. 9.) Music helps me deal with my pain. 10.) Let new people into your life, sometimes they love you more than old friends.

A life on my own

    Life is slowly becoming a little more normal after all I have been through recently. At first it was horrible and I was fighting depression tooth and nail. Throughout this process I have really began to delve back into reading. Since June I have read 7 books and have 4 more on the table to start. One thing in life that you have to remember is that no matter what happens with family or relationships in the end you must take care of your self. Relationships are very important and I hold no grudges now that one that I had is over, but relationships do not make you who you are as a person. But I must say that it is nice being able to find myself again. Find those things that I have forgotten about over time, and making myself into a better man feels wonderful!

With that being said I leave you all with a joke I found quite funny!

Married Guys Go Fishing

Four married guys went fishing. After an hour or so, the following conversation took place:
First guy: "You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this weekend. I had to promise my wife I will paint every room in the house next weekend."

Second guy: "That's nothing! I had to promise my wife I'd build her a new deck for the pool."

Third guy: "Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I'll remodel the kitchen for her."

They continued to fish, until they realized the fourth guy had not said a word.

So they asked him. "You haven't said anything about what you had to do to be able to come fishing this weekend. What's the deal?"

Fourth guy: "I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off the clock, gave the wife a nudge and said, "Fishing, or Sex," and she said, "Wear a sweater."

Hello World

When I last left you I asked for everyone to pray for me and my wife Ashley. We were going through some really hard times and I was focusing on becoming a different person. As of yesterday Ashley and I are divorced. It is something that we tried to work on and in the end we were unable to salvage the relationship. No I am not going anywhere, no there is not someone else involved, we are going to remain friends, and I am ready to move on. It has been a very trying couple of months and I am now ready to stand up and continue on this path. I will be posting more often then previously and want to thank you all for your prayers and concerns.

Please pray for Ashley & I

Friends & Family just know that sometimes in life you must take a break from all to concentrate on what's really important. I will not be blogging for a while to focus on some other aspects of my life. Just please pray for me and Ashley as we go through some changes in our lives.

Thank you for your prayers,

David

Where Have I Been?

Wow, it has been a while I know since I have been posting. Many things have happened in that amount of time. I went on vacation yes that's right a day off! Universal Studios was a blast and may I recommend The Mummy ride it was grand. But I promise I will be posting more regularly now that I have had a little break. Especially since football is only 3 months away!!!! Btw if you didnt know Tom Cruise is now blogging. You may check it out at TomCruise.com here is a sample of what I think his entries will be......

8:15-9:15 am: Look directly into mirror and say, “Taller. Taller. Taller. Taller. TALLER!”

9:15-9:17 am: Check to see if I’ve grown.

9:20: Pay someone to have sex with Katie. We’re trying for another baby!
