so theres this girl... she's my favorite person, and I love her. when she's not here I miss her. Even if she's only been away for a little while. she's sweet, and beautiful, and kind. she's tons of fun to be around. I love taking her shopping, and walking around wal*mart. I love buying her things, stupid little things, cool things, funny things, girl things. I love eating with her, she loves food, and going out she has expensive tastes, I love catering to her tastes. I love when she holds me at night makes me feel safe and wanted. I love that she's learning to be a geek. she makes me happy. I'm lucky to have her in my life. I'm lucky she's with my.

tired
hey there, very very tired tried to sleep in this moning and I couldnt. my back started to hurt after ten-ish and I had to get up. ran around like a crazy man trying to find my dnd character couldnt find it anywhere, I tore apart the house looking for it, I even called luke to see if he could look around his house for it, he couldnt find it either. my mom asked mike, J, and I to run a bunch of trash to the dump, so we ran 2 loads to the dump, while we were doin this jade left to goto the super market to get food for the day. we got done with the two loads and jade still hadnt come back so mike and I left to goto aarons house to either try to find my character in the piles of stuff, or to start recreating it... I ended up making up a character that was pieced together from what I could remember and whatever aaron could remember. we ended up playing for something like 12 hours it was a pretty good session. I came home and my mom asked me if I had ever found the binder I had been looking for I said no. she said that she may have thrown it away...:( I've had that character for 6 years..... its kinda lame and sad how upset it makes me that it may be gone. I know I can prolly remake it but it wont be the same. sigh... farewell to you Dolan Bryde!(I'm a loser, and very tired) Jeannine comes home tomorrow!! cant wait to see her, she'll make me feel better goodnight all love, TED | | Friday, August 5th, 2005 | | 11:03 pm |
friday
heya :) I got up and went to work, we mowed spruce wood today. I ended up getting out pretty early, then when I left the shop I went to ace hardware to get some nuts and bolts to fix the velke at work, set me back a whole 85 cents... man its kinda funny how much pain and aggrivation we went thru trying to macgyver rig that thing together, its broken like six times cuz we keep using whatever bolts we can find sitting around the shop to put it back together. The bolts we find are way to small and just keep snapping on us. all it takes to finally fix it correctly is 85 cents and a short trip to the hardware store.. man we shoulda done that a while ago. so I got home from work and talked to mike for a little bit and played with my trees. I gota sweet Jap maple sapling at work its gunna be super sweet in about 8 years. I found it in a garden earlier this week while I was weeding. its about 5 inches tall right now, and at the rate those things grow I might be able to get it to grow a few more inches by next year. but that's gunna be so cool. then I took a shower, and ran to the bank to deposit my paycheck, and met mike and tim at johnsons dairy bar in northwood. The food there is decent and relatively cheap (fish and chips $6.95)and the ice cream servings are HUGE! then I got home and went right out to the mall to buy some lingerie for Jeannine (so hot!) ;) came home and mike and tim introduced me to big-boys.com its a bunch of videos of people doing stupid shit, like shooting themselves with fircrackers, getting in streetfights, and other jackass style stunts. very funny. and now I'm prolly gunna go read my book for a while out on the back porch, its way too hot in here right now, I'm sweating sitting still, but the temperature is dropping outside. I'm really excited to see the nine again, I cant wait till sunday :) love ya babe love, TED | | Thursday, August 4th, 2005 | | 9:47 pm |
junk
heya, not much to report today, it was kinda uneventful. Went to work, did hedge trimming all day, yay!(sarcasm) Had a nice little chat with ryan after work, we talked about fighting, I feel like I kinda wanna get into a fight, just cuz I never have and I'd like to see how I'd do. just kinda curious. it was actually kinda funny, 2 kids who have never been in fights talking about how we thought we do if we got into one... funny. Got home, talked to jeannine (hey babe :) love ya!) for a bit, sat around, drove to a gas station and cleaned all the trash out of the front of my truck, and bought a new air freshner, all they had was wild berry, and strawberry ugh.. went with the wildberry one, it makes my truck smell like candy, I kinda hate it, I'll get another one as soon as I can I think I like new car smell the best. came home and shawn houle was here to pick up tom and bring him somewhere, nick poppa's I'm guessing. sam and his girl are watching some movie downstairs, and mike is dinkin around with his computer. busy place tonight. I just took a shower. first one this week, thats kinda sad. now I type in my journal. when I get done here I'll goto bed and read. this time I'll try not to stay up too late, I was tired all day cuz I stayed up late reading last night, need sleep. goodnight all, love, TED P.S. I miss my lady :( need her to hold me. cant wait to see her sunday. TED+G9=GOOD TED-G9=BAD love you babe <3 | | Wednesday, August 3rd, 2005 | | 10:23 pm |
tired
hey hey, short post tonight cuz I'm exhausted, and kinda lonely toms the only other person here and he's been sleeping the whole time I've been here guess he stayed up all night last night. I'm really missing my girl. Went to work, we mowed all day in meadowbrook at dover. took a lot longer then I thought it would for the grass being so short. I called jeannine a little after lunch to tell her I loved her, I had to steal burts phone to do it mine was shut off...blah. while there we also planted a weeping cherry behing the guy who's president of the condo association there, it was pretty easy. I'm super sore I really need to start stretching again, my backs actin up a bit. At the end of the day at work I cleaned out my truck bed just a bit, and when I got home I finished cleaning it out. I got all the junk out now I just need to hose it down a bit to get teh dirt and crap out, I'll prolly do that tomorrow at the shop after work. I think I'm gunna try to clean out the cab tomorrow, that'll be tons o fun. played with my trees for a bit. I came to a conclusion while playing with my trees and I'm not sure if it makes me cool or lame... I'm not making banzai. I just have pet trees. I caught myself talking to them... it was weird cuz I didnt even notice I was doing it at first. so I decided that I have 8 pet trees, that I dont water enough. maybe I should name em. I did a load of laundry. then I made dinner for myself, I just ate the left overs from last night, still wicked good. Then I had some ice cream for dessert (chubby hubby yum) and watched the day after tomorrow. it was better then I thought it would be. I think I'm gunna call the nine to say good night then go to bed, I might read for a bit. kinda funny just as I finished typing that last line I had to run and get the phone, it was jeannine calling me. it was great to hear her voice, I love the way she talks. its amazing how she can just sound cute. She wasnt saying anything super cute or anything just the sound of her voice make me wanna squeeze her, and not ever let her go. She sounded a little down, wish I could hold her. She's super far away tho... so I'll have to settle for thinking about her.... vigorously ;p love ya babe. good night everybody love, TED | | Tuesday, August 2nd, 2005 | | 11:19 pm |
the next day
today I worked. This morning I got to the shop to do the mower maintainance, oil changes and that sort o stuff, and after th oil changes Ryan started the rider to load it onto the trailer, and it started spitting out huge clouds of white smoke :( after much puttering swearing and checking of stuff we discovered with the aid of the fine mechanics at Hadens that we had overfilled the engine oil, which came as a great relief to me because I thought we had blown a seal or something, that would have been bad news... sorry for sounding so lame and boring but I super tired, gunna hit the sack in a few. We got to the job site, Meadowbrook at Dover, and the lawn looked wicked short and kinda burnt out in places, so we decided to give it another day to recover before we mowed it again, and we're gunna raise the deck height a bit to help prevent burning. so instead of mowing we decided to weed. We ended up weeding all of meadowbrook and then went on to weed all of tidewatch. I ended up getting home sometime around sevenish mebbe a bit after I dont recall for sure. I talked to my mom for a little bit, then called the nine. I'm supposed to call her back in a bit., it'll prolly be about time for that after I get done writing. After I talked to Jeannine I played with my trees for a while, mebbe an hour or so. My rehab boxwoods are starting to grow back a bit of the damaged areas and thas cool, the new boxwood is giving me a bit of trouble. Its foliage is very dense and the plant itself is a little taller then I'd like it to be, so I hacked it down yto the height I wanted it at and this make the top of the canope very thin, and the outside edges are still super thick. its looks like its got a bald spot or something, y'know thinning a little at the top. I think I'm just going to have to thin ou th erest of the branches to try and even it out, ut thats gunna have to wait for a while, it'll need some time to recoup for a bit, I gave it its first root pruning today, and its gunna need all its strength to recover from that. Cutting the roots off gives em a pretty big shock to their system, I gotta remember to give it a little extra water tomorrow before I head out to work. I have kinda mixed feelings about the two hotshot azalea's I picked up. they have great looking trunks and health bark, and a decent overall shape, but I think they're gunna end up a bit taller then I'd like, and one of them has a pretty noticeable break on one of the more visable branches, I'm gunna have to carve it down a little and hope it grows over(fingers crossed) if it doesnt grow over correctly I'm gunna have to lose the whole branch, and I dont know if it will look the way I want without it. if both the azalea's were about 6 inches shorter they'd be near perfect, oh well. I'd like to start working with some younger plants, I think it would be more rewarding to make a plant grow the way I want it to and have it become the plant I want, rather then finding aplant and the carving it up until it looks close to what I want. I think I could have more fine control with younger plants. and with the younger ones I could begin experimenting with wire shaping which I think will be wicked cool. Then my Mom and I decided to make some dinner, I made honey garlic barbecue chicken cubes, and served em over rice and orzo, it came out wicked good, I was pretty surprized usually my crazy mish mash meals come out mediocre at best, we watched the Quest for Camelot while we ate. Then I found my mom another movie to watch, I set her up with the new sinbad cartoon, that tom and I watched yesterday, then I went upstairs to read. I just started a new book its called luck in the shadows its pretty good so far, I think I'm gunna like it. and that brings me up to now and its almost time to call my girl. well I think I'm gunna go take a dump and get into bed, have a good night everybody out there in live journal land. love, TED P.S. I love you little miss nine, cant wait yto seeya, hope yer having fun :) | | Monday, August 1st, 2005 | | 11:50 pm |
my day
well then.... hello the live journal long time no see so while my lady is gone on vacation I'm gunna be keeping track of all the stuff I do this week :) this morning I got up and was greeted by what appeared to be a torrential downpour, so no work. I went back to sleep. I got up a bit later and went to the bank, man that makes me so sad... my account was so overdrawn that even after my deposit I still cant afford to make my bills :( gotta get the rest of my paycheck tomorrow (only got a small cash advance on it on friday) then I should be able to cover my truck payment at least, and make my other bills on friday. camp home from the bank and called Jeannines resort, but th eline was busy, so I left a message at the front desk. Then I layed around and finished the book I was reading, after that I got up to see what tom and mike were up to. Tom had just downloaded a new free mmorpg, called ROSE online, it looked neat so I asked him to download it onto sams computer so I could play (my computer is still dead) then I watched sinbad the animated movie, and after that I had lunch (peanut butter and jelly) then the three of us sat around and watched anchorman. After that I moved the refrigerator for my mom. the one in the kitchen wasnt working so she wanted to get rid of it, and take the one from upstairs and put it in the kitchen....lots of stairs :( then I played a bit of ROSE online for a while then went and weedwhacked the front yard for my mom, all along the rock walls in front of the house as well as inside the fence. Man I really lik ethat weedwhacker, new tools are always fun, and I havent used a stihl whacker since I worked for rick, been a while I think I like em better then the redmax's we use at work now, then just seem... I dunno smoother, like the vibrate in your hands less. Went back and played a llittle more Rose, then went out and saw The Devils Rejects with Mike. Honestly I was a little disappointed. I know I shouldnt have expected much from it, but I expected it to be at least as good as house of a thousand corpses, it wasnt. which is sad cuz house of 1000 corpses wasnt that good. had one good line, "The next words outa your mouth better be some fucking brilliant Mark Twain shit, cuz its definately gonna be etched on your tombstone." got home talked to jeannine, then made steak on the grill with mom and mike., now I'm whiting then going to bed. I miss jeannine. Its wierd because I usually dont see her during the week anyway, but now its hard to even call her, and its IMPOSSIBLE for me to see her. :( come home baby.... I love you. love, TED | | Wednesday, July 27th, 2005 | | 4:16 pm |

today
Right, so today I roleplayed with my boys J, aaron, luke, and brian. Jade played too but she's not a boy so she gets a sentence all to herself. I'm trying to figure out som scheduling for a later on this week-end, but theres Volta, hmmm.... The guys wanna get together and do something saturday, and they wanna roleplay again on sunday at noon, mebbe I'll just play NERO on friday and saturday, skip out on sunday. Nothing really ever happens on sunday anyway. Espacially at Volta Torsey always tries to cancel sundays, its kinda wierd. Saturday is also gunna be Mary's baby shower, I gotta remember to invite Jeannine, to that. But she'll be at nero too /shrug So I'm exhausted... this week end really wiped me out, what with all the drinking and dancing and late nights. Which normally isnt a big deal, but I have this magical inability to sleep past 10:00. Just cant do it its wierd. Not normally a big deal, but when you dont get to bed till 4:00 or so every night it starts to wear on ya. Its kinda funny last night I went to a club for the first time in prolly 4-5 years, and I actually had fun. I also realized that I cant dance fer shit and almost all club girls are ugly and stuck up. But I still had a good time. Dancing with Jeannine is fun, mostly cuz she's super hot, but also because she just makes it seem like fun. It was funny she got me and Craig to get up on the stage at the front of the club, then she and Sariah got up there with us too it was funny. I was just standing up there wiggling around pretending I knew what I was doing and holding beer for Jeannine so her hands were free to dance. No drinking for me I was the DD :( It really honestly surprised me that I enjoyed myself I thought it was gunna be really lame. Good ole G9 has that effect on me tho, pretty much whenever she's around I'm havin a good time. ;) ok now come the fun part of my post where I go searching around the internet and a few books around my house for either something funny or profound or just neat, lemme see here.... ok so I've discovered that I have lost my big book of Shakespearian sonnets. I though it'd be cool to toss one or two of those up here cuz I like em a lot but I dunno where the book went, so I found some replacement material. "O it's hard and dry when the sun is high And dust is in your throat, When the rain pours down, near fit to drown, It soaks right through your coat. But the hares of the Long Patrol, my lads, Stout hearts they walk with me Over hill and plain and back again To the shores of the wide blue sea. Through mud and mire to a warm campfire, I'll trek with you, old friend, O'er lea and dale in a roaring gale, Right to our journey's end. Aye. the hares of the Long Patrol, my lads Love friendship more then gold. We'll share long days, and tread hard ways, Good comrades, brave and bold."

Yay now I have a live journal!
Hi, I got this journal cuz I thought it might be funny and I could just stick a link in my im profile so I could show cool things to people :) I 'm gunna try to figure out how to work this little thing now. so my first couple of posts will probly be full of wierd junk. This first thing is gunna be something my brother J wrote as part of a birthday present I got a little while ago, I'm gunna edit it down a bit its kinda long. "I was going to try and define Ted. But I cant. Theres no one thing about Ted that can sum him up, no one true name which would give you power over him. You cant distill Ted into a few syllables. Ted is far more then that. Ted is my brother. He was born two years after me, and I remember being pleased that we were born on the same day, the 10th. Yeah it was two months and two years different, but to me it was the same. I remember being excited that I was getting a little brother. I remember standing next to Mom, putting out my finger for Ted to grab a hold of. I remember playing Mask with Ted in the hospital when Sam was being born. I kept saying to Ted, "Tell me more. Tell me more!" as he made things up and I lived them. I think, looking back, that Ted was the first person to take me to another place. Reading was ok, TV was neat, but playing in the back yard with Ted? It blew them away. The things we saw, the things we did. The villians we dispatched. The games we played. And even standing side by side in the midst of a labrynth made of saplings, I knew that Ted saw the same thing. With Ted I was the hero. I remember dismantling a car in our back yard. I remember comforting Ted when he was crying, usually 'cuz I'd hurt him by being dumb. I remember being the big brother, and now, looking back on it, I can see Ted even then letting me be his big brother. Letting me be the main character. Letting me be the Hero to his side-kick. The gunslinger in the white ten gallon hat to his sombrero. I remember the last time Ted and I wrestled. The very last time. The first time Ted beat me. He looked down at me, pinned under his weight, and saw defeat in my eyes. I think it scared us both. I asked him about it later, and he said, "You're my big brother. I cant beat you." We havent wrestled since. Ted is my brother. He let me be his big brother for a long time. I'll be his big brother forever. In my every memory of growing up, Ted's there. It's like he's always been there. He's been witness to my dreams, and by my side through nightmares. But Ted is far more then that. Ted is my friend. Two years younger then me, I was horribly offended when my friends invited Ted over without talking to me. It's not that I didnt like having him there, but I was scared. See, my brother is so cool, that why would my friends want to hang out with me? Laugh if you will, but I thought it. But by the time I realized that I didnt mind Ted being with us, he was one of us. He wasnt my little brother. He was Ted. I remember Ted role-playing with us. His dashing, dynamic flare for combat making my life hell, and amusing the hell out of everyone else. His sudden desperate ideas that bailed everyone out of, or into trouble. I remember bringing Ted to NERO, scared that he'd not like it, not have fun, and watching him excel. Seeing him run half a mile to stalk and kill a kobold. I remember knowing that we would make it, we'd be safe, because Ted was there. With Ted we were heroes. With Ted we could do anything. I remember walking into the house in dover and seeing him crawling out, vomiting tequila. He was a companion when I didnt want to be alone. Silent support when I didnt want to talk. He was at my back no matter what. He joined us when we thought we were whole, and showed us what we were missing. Ted is a part of us. But Ted is far more then that. Ted is my hero. Wherever Ted goes, he's comfortable. He knows who he is, knows perhaps better then anyone who Ted is. Who Ted can be. He creates his own style, not following anyones path. The shortest path between two points is a straight line, but Ted'll take the long way around and beat you there. Ted never wants to hurt another person. Ted wants everyone to be happy. Ted wants to just be himself. Ted just is. Ted is funny. Ted is strange. Ted is brave. Ted is smart. Ted is fast. Ted is strong. Ted is beautiful. Ted is miraculous. Ted is a mystery. Ted is the best. Ted hurts. I remember the look in Ted's face when he told me he liked smoking a cigar when he thought, and he had a lot to think about recently. I remember knowing what he was talking about and being furious that the world, or God, would do something like that to Ted. I remember the look in Ted's eyes when I made him so mad he took a swing at me. I remember the look in Ted's eyes when he told mr that he hated himself all through high school. I remember all the things I'd love to say to Ted, all the things that Ted deserves to hear but I cant say because I'm James. Because I'm my fathers son and I dont know how to talk to anyone in person. That he's my brother. That he's my friend. That he's my hero. That I love him, and I'd fuck anyone who fucked with him. That if he'll let me, I'll be his sidekick. That I know how much he's put up with from me over the years, and that I thank him for it. That wherever we go, Ted, wherever life takes us, I swear that I'll be here for you. Just like you've always been there for me. I love you, Ted. And I always will."
