I want a new Drug!

I am needing a new drug or hobby or distraction however you wish to view it. I am so burnt out on life right now that its like being a zombie walking through a dream. No really I do need some me time though. I am definitely overworked under paid and not appreciated at my job or in my life by most I think. I know that everyone else has their own problems and own worries to deal with so I understand why we all how we are. I have been moving towards going to school in Australia for some time now and after finance this semester I should be extremely close to achieving this goal. I miss the beaches and I miss my friends there. I have been trying to get my bills all paid off so I can leave without any commitments so far everything except my student loans. If I do it right they can be gone in two years and so can I with luck. I am going to try and take some time off soon so I can just relax and find that happy median that I have been trying to find for so long and just live. I realize that in today's world we have forgotten how to do that. When was the last time you just woke up and went or did whatever instead of the day being sliced up in to time bits where you can only do this or that for the allotted amount of time. My day is chopped up from the moment my clock buzzes till the moment I pass out again that night. I am definitely ready to find a beautiful distraction and let it wisp me away into wonderland and no white rabbits with time pieces either or its stew for me that night! ;) I am heading into unfamiliar territories soon because if I do get through school I am thinking of trying out a new career in maybe teaching. Who knows I might pursue a capitalistic approach instead and start my own company all things are possible if you have the desire and will to make them happen this I know for sure. Until then me and the old kayak, backpack and little red dog are heading to places outdoors and away from the woes of modern man so that I might get some peace and quiet. Sometimes that old expression silence is a virtue rings true and we need that to reset the internal clock and escape our electronic collars. I know mine is chaffing me big time. My friend Rkelly need to contact me soon so I can break in my new backpack its screaming that it wants to find a dusty trail on a secluded mountain somewhere in America! Well my fellow bloggers and travelers find your quiet mountain or new drug and use it to your best ability to find some peace and quiet. Laters!

The Little Red Dog and the Heart of Stone

Being this is my first entry it will be a simple one indeed. My little red dog just had her first birthday here recently and it was more of a wonderful thing for me then her. I am a bachelor having tried many times to find that one special someone and only finding disappointment and heartache instead. I had not planned on loving anyone or anything for that matter when a strange happening occurred. My daughter while staying with me had a little red dog who ran out into traffic and was hit by a car. I thought the poor thing was doomed and after seeing its right eye hanging from its head I believed it to be so. But she seemed to be ok other than the immediate trauma so we got her to a vet. The vet had to remove the eye which was sad for my daughter but I explained at least she is alive and still with us. A few months later the dog recovered now surprised us yet again with the birth of four puppies. I remind you now am a loner and not wanting a companion at all mind you now have a dog and four pups. god they destroyed my house and so many shoes as I was forced to keep them because her mother wanted to give them to the shelter and I could not bare the thought of them being put to sleep. So I set out to find them homes. they were still to young but when they were older I hoped to have homes ready for them, and I did. All that is except one, my daughter had named them all and this one pup was named Claire. She had been the only female and the runt out of the four. She would come up to me, look straight up at me and begin...Woo Woo Woo! It was her way of saying she wanted me to pick her up. Strange that out of all the pups this one would come to me again and again. This began to soften my hard heart much to my disliking. before you knew it she was mine no way I was giving this babe away. She has been my girl for over a year now and I love her very much and she returns it ten fold. She loves the outdoors and rides on my kayak when we go out and sleeps in my hammock or just lays beside me on the ground. Does not matter really she may run here and there but when its all said and done she is right there beside me loving me as only a little red dog can. She still does the Woo Woo Woo when she wants me to hold her I think its her little way of me showing her that I care because I know she is big enough to get up on the bed or chair with me now. But I still do it because I want her to know she means that much to me. So beware yea who have stone hearts of little red dogs because they will render your heart helpless and remind you that one must give love freely and without remorse of past heartaches. I know that because of my fuzzy little girl that I can love again even at the risk I may lose out yet once again. Thanks to my little red dog!
