Default A good day?

A good day in my world:

Tuesday:

Woke up, decided what I was gonna do for the day.

1. Fixed a problem with my old man's truck... something that had been wrong for years and he was quoted 300 bucks to repair... I fixed it in two hours and two dollar's worth of caffeine (I like to listen to music and suck down Dr. Pepper while working on cars... don't question the reasons, it's safer that way).

2. Watched "Invader Zim"

3. Ordered a T-shirt and Catalog from Zex for ten bucks. Nothing like a little dreamin' of Direct Port N20 and gettin' a shirt. 10 bucks can buy happiness

4. Practiced city driving in a stick shift. All while listening to hard metal... Picked up some tire valve caps for my car. I crack myself up when I drive my old man's rusted, ancient truck to the car wash and when they ask me what scent I want on the interior, I flippantly say, "New Car".

5. Martial arts class

6. Sore, but happy... play Grand Theft Auto until the wee hours of the morning.

Life is good... what's your idea of a good day?

I sold a computer

Got to experience a fun filled roll over accident (two flips) - wasn't driving and wasn't mine.

Got a ride back to the house, got my vehicle and cashed the check

Got home - and my back is killing me!!!!

Now that's a fun day.

My perfect day was today; I went to school; did more work than I expected to, then I picked up my GF from her school. We went out for Dinner (East Side Marrio's) and a movie (The Incredibles) and wow it was one of the greatest evenings of my life.

Gotta be careful dude... After my roll-over accident, I was fine for the first day, then I started passing out randomly for the next few. I'd make REAL sure you're not operating too much heavy equipment for a coupla days... seriously.

Other than some issues I have with my mom, I'm having a great day also. I'm alive, I'm not hungry, all my computers are working, I'm caught up on homework and it's now the weekend!

I played hooky from work yesterday, hopped on my Sting-Ray and watched the sunrise on the beach. I have never had the chance to do that in Florida. It was absolutely beautiful because we had a cold front moving through and there was a band of showers off the coast and as the sun rose all the clouds behind it turned red and Jesus lights broke though the upper atmosphere. If I had an easel and a pallette I would have painted it right there

To top it off the woman I loved so much and miss so much wants to come back down to FL and visit this Christmas

My perfect day consists of a nice warm day outside where I can be outside all day and not have to work. Through winter that perfect day turns into the be lazy and play Counter-Strike all day.

No hits to the head - but my spine is jacked up real good this morning. "I'm to young to fel this damn old".

Meh, I had that thought once (we connected on so many levels, it was like we'd known each other forever, and all that)... Then I realized how fortunate I was she wasn't comin' back. Time heals all wounds dude...

Make sure you keep busy... Don't give yourself time to brood about it.. Within a couple of weeks, you'll convince yourself you're better off... within a couple months, you'll actually believe it.

After a bit of time passes, you'll realize just how much of the relationship you fabricated in your mind to be "perfect" and all the signs you should have seen that said something was amiss (which you can't blame yourself for being who you are, or her for being who she is... somethin' just didn't work)... then it just gets easier from there. If it was meant to be, it would have been...

What he said.

Turbo hasn't even met the girl, it's a net relationship. For example... I like this chick in NJ that I've known for years, and we talk alot, but I have an actual physical relationship with another girl, and I just can't see how you can actually think that you've fallen in love with a girl you don't even know in real life. Maybe trying to fill that empty void we all have that's meant to be fufilled? There are women all around you dude, pick one.

You'll never make it in this world if you start handing your heart out to girls over the net man,
much less to flings that you would probably call a relationship. Put your guard up bro.

When I met her, and got to know her, I knew she was perfect for me. I fell deeply in love with her. I've been with her for a year. Even though it was through a phone, webcam, and messenger programs. It's not like I wouldn't ever see her, I had plans on visiting her for christmas, and having the best christmas of my life. I love her dearly still, and I hope to god she comes back to me.

I know it's possible to move on, but how can I move on when I lost the only perfect girl in the world for me? I can never love anyone like I love her, and I want her back, and want to make things better. I have had a bad past, and seen my parents fight a lot, and I kind of turned out like my dad, he says stuff he don't mean when he is angry. He has went to anger management. I just wish I wouldn't have said so many hurtful things to her, because none of them were meant, and it may have cost me the love of my life. I have learned my mistake, and I will never do it again, but I don't think I can continue on without her....

Advice to all guys in love: Think before you speak, and don't hold on to what happened in the past, accept that you both love each other, and try to move forward.
I kept bringing up the past where she has done some bad things, and kept being depressed, and it finally affected her, where she can't take my depression. I should have moved on, and showed her my true love for her. I love you Victoria, I hope you take me back and accept my apology.


Sorry for turning this thread into a depressing sob story.
