Found out today i'm an Uncle to a healthy babygirl. Examorra Jamie Lynn Plumridge was delivered Dec.31st 2014 at 10 AM weihging 5 pounds 8 ounces. Hardly cries and has immaculate skin..when I was holding her today her little eyes opened up and smiled for a good 2 minutes before falling asleep..it's was an amazing experience.
I must saddle up and head for work. See y'all tomorrow
Suppose to get two inches of snow sometime this evening accordng to the news. If it does happen i'll be surprised. Vancouver is probably the only city in the nation to never see snow let alone have a real winter compared to the sods back East.
Almost missed today's blog having come down with the chills. Instead of a huge snow storm all of Vancouver was hit by heavy rain..amusingly everywhere but my city saw snow. Sometimes I wonder if mother nature likes to troll us or there's something more sinister at work. Beh i'm thinking to much...
Today is the day I start all over again. I'm feeling better than I ever have and will continue to strive to become better then I ever have been. I joined a cause that raises money for charity by weight loss..for every pound I drop the money is doubled by my sponsor with all the procedes going to BC Children's Hospital. To make this work im going Soda/Sugar/Red Meat free until March and i'll be walking more often.
Recently something special happened. While seeing my shrink I was told of a foster/rescue program for dogs specifically designed for people suffering P.T.S.D. It's a pilot project and luckily back in May I was introduced to Louie.
This dog has been a blessing in disguise. If I end up in the 'hole' ( My word when I completely shut down.) he'll sit on my lap or beside me until I feel better. Sometimes for hours..this Christmas was abit more special with this guy around.
That's it for now..I got christmas decorations to take down.
Here we go the first of 365 journals. I'd like to disclose my views/opinions aren't the same as many and may even challenge your views..keeping it short and sweet...don't like what I have to say don't read. This ain't a sob story I don't want pity/sympathy/belly rubs..none of that. This is my way of getting the BS on my mind off of it. Now let's get started.
End of 2013 up til yesterday as the days of the past went by I was in a state of shock. People whom I believed to be friends from this fandom turned out to be A-Holes who can't accept me for having a mental illness and instead of standing by me tossed me to the gutter. I felt as if someone sucked out my soul and then tossied it into a furnance. MLP didn't interest me ( I still haven't seen season 4/Rainbow Rocks.) and I spent most of my time hiding, staying indoors keeping myself locked away off from the outside world with the exception of a few best friends who coaxed me out.
Coming to grips with my P.T.S.D. was the second hardest part which too I can't go into detail what brought forward and out it but the nototion of something this dark was brewing inside me needed to be handled and so I did. I haven't felt this good in a long time. The psychiatrist/thearupist have been a huge gamer changer in my life..the never ending love of my family too dispite being a monster to them helped me find my way too. I can't thank them enough for being so patient with me.
Fast forwarding to yesterday..i'm sitting in the psychiatrist office and she asked me. " Punk, what are your goals for 2015? " I didn't know what to say except. " I didn't know and I guess doing what I did before." the conversation turned more abit serious with some proding and pokes from all sides, And with that the spark inside of me that I thought was once gone re-lit..albiet abit of gasoline was used.
I came home..fired up the laptop and decided i'd return to my stomping grounds but with a new flavor/attitude to boot. I'm here to stay and i'm not gonna let two-bit fools and their drones push me away from what I love,
So i've written a check-list for 2015 with abit of 2016 on it. I'll be updating as I go.
1. Visit Seattle and the bronies in their area. They have been a guiding light for me and continue to do so.
2. Attend FanEXPO Vancouver and enjoy myself.
3. Attend Everfree Northwest and see my buddy and forum mate Ruhisu attend his first N.American convention.
4. Attend PonyEXPO
5. BronyCAN. -Big one here.-
6.. Continue to burn brighter then a super nova and being the best in the world.
7. Finish 365 blogs.
-2016-
Repeat except with exception of @Dale Segno's wedding.in 2015.
So with 2014 being a year of pain/heartache and importantly growth..I look forward to my rebirth and comeback. Thanks for reading everyone.
