Re: I broke up with my girlfriend tonight.

Thanks. I still think the world of her, but it's long-distance and I just started my busiest semester yet here at university and I didn't want her to be second to school. So, we're going to try to be friends for now. Thanks again.

I'm glad you're trying. I just remember you posting about how you weren't sure if you wanted to pursue a relationship because you didn't want to upset your friendship. Best wishes though!

that's wild! they have the same in CT, which is why i asked. although, it's for an ice rink, which should have tipped me off that it was not the same as the one you posted!

Re: What loose tea should I buy?

Sympathy For The Kettle down in the Lower East Side (on St. Marks) has an amazing selection of loose teas. Look into some earl greys, greens, or mates (if you like something strong).

no, no, no! that's only mascara smeared on my face after crying stupidly while having a talk with my dad. if anything, he gave me the biggest hug i've had, which really smudged that black stuff on my face.

thank you for the support! but don't worry!

Re: What is the absolute best music to wake up to?

karlismiles — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:32:32 -0000

my absolute favorite song would be "sleeping lessons" by the shins. start with that, and you should be absolutely ready for the day.

Re: Life story

Yes, I think that anyone from that town can associate with my story on some level. I don't know if I know your aunt =), hehe.

My brain has blocked out a lot of my past, but I have been uncovering the memories. I need to deal with them, for my own sake and for my daughters sake.

Thank you for your comments re: my mother. You are right, I do need to focus on the positive and form a relationship based on the now, instead of the past. It is going to be hard to do that, but I am going to try. It's part of the reason why I'm going down there this month.

I must say I was surprised that you grew up in the same town I have, but even more surprised to see that you have suffered pretty much a mix of what everyone suffers in that town. I feel so terrible about the bullies, but the same happened to my aunt on the school bus in middle school, and she too found salvation in the choir (maybe you know her?), and one of my friends who had anger management issues had to ride a short bus because of it and many other issues, and i suffered the pain of a torturous stepmother that I absolutely have no memory of what happened, my brain has blocked it all...

but what I'm trying to say is that I did read this all, and want you to know that I'm happy you have survived it all, grown into a good father, and are a great individual because we all face terrible challenges in our lives, but the true test is whether or not we can grow from it, and you sir have done so and very well. try not to think about the negative things like your mother's abandonment, but try to make a new relationship with her, not only for your daughter, but mostly for yourself. and just make sure to stay positive in all light so that your daughter may grow up knowing that her father is an incredibly strong and wonderful man.

Oh wow, that is close! I figured you must just be over the state border, and that's exciting!

But do let me know if you're in the Danbury/Brookfield area...

Well, if you ever are in the area again, let me know! And I've put my request in to follow, even though i didn't get the direct!

I still don't think I can explain my surprise to even walk past you in a mall while Christmas shopping...

Re: Travels...

karli — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 13:03:48 -0000

haha albert, that is WILD.

i think the craziest i can think of was my last trip to Chile where we were in the south and were leaving a horseback riding place after asking the guy if he still does the ride we had taken 4 years before (he does), and while we were leaving, my mom accidently turned the wheel too much over to the right, and the right wheel of our rented car got stuck in a ditch and we were floating in air. Luckily, there were police cars passing by and they stopped for us, and 5 police officers came over laughing and pulled the car out with all of us in it. It was so embarrassing for my mother, but absolutely hilarious.
