Christmas in KC

I’m ready for Christmas. I have my tree up in the apartment, and the toys are getting wraped for the kids. I think they will like it. I bought four cornish hens and I am excited to make Christmas dinner. I think I will be going to midnight mass Christmas eve. I am excited for all of this.

Kansas City
Thursday, October 9, 2008
A great deal has changed over the last year. Life in general has been completely changed. I am no longer living life as a married man. My wife decided she no longer wished to be my wife, so she took off. I moved up into Kansas City. I like the city.

It is often difficult for me to keep my composure in situations like these. I tend to be manic, animated.
Thoughts in a PC-12
Monday, June 9, 2008
I went up in a PC-12 the other day. As I left OJC Johnson County Executive Airport in Kansas, I did as everyone does on takeoff, I just watched as the landscape below grew smaller and I went further. As far as the eye could see was beautiful plush green vegetation. I saw little civilization. I thought to myself as looked at the endless miles of green. I thought to myself of the news all over television, Al Gore, and how I was living in some sort of post apocalyptic wasteland of pollution and death. That’s not what my eyes saw. I didn’t see the invisible toxins killing me. I did not see the global warming tearing every inch of land to pieces. I only saw miles of green vegetation and nature. It was beautiful.
