Mankato is alright. I lived there for a year after highschool then found my way over here. Got a lot of cocky college kids there. Bars and drugs. Its fun though.

Well I got my 80# injectors in today and my car goes in on friday for my 3in vibrant exhaust and pacesetter header install I am going to get it out this weekend and tune it I cant wait.

 

Fooling around FTMFW!!! Did it a lot when my ex and I broke up nearly two years ago (dated for almost 5 years). IMO, it did me a lot of good. Not just to get laid, but I met a lot of great people when I threw myself out there and met chicks.

Honestly, it was SUPER hard for me to do too because all that I'd ever known to that point was my ex Lindsay. Getting back into the swing of things and actually grasping the fact that I was single was really hard for me to get over and move on from.

In my experience (and in others that I've known), dating into a family who you are already friends with is fine. You just have to be extra careful and aware with every single thing that you do with her or your buddy because one wrong move or one wrong word or action can cause a lot of drama. If you're confident you can do it, give it a try. Nothing wrong with it IMO.

1000000000% same boat with you sir. Since I've been single, I've met a TON of girls that are either not my type, are total bitches or total *****. I always wondered at first if I just try to go for the wrong ones and to be honest, it was true. One thing that you need to keep in mind is that being single can be the best time you will ever have. Enjoy it. Don't jump into anything right away.

To make a long story short, my girlfriend left me after almost 5 years for another guy and it was the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with in my life so far (I am now 23). She fucked me up badly. I was depressed and sad for a really long time and I had a lot of screwed up things going through my head. Thankfully, I had a really good support system of family and friends that helped me pull through it and after everything is all said and done, I can truthfully say that it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

I've learned a lot from not only the break up itself, but the type of person that I should try and strive to be and the type of girl that I want to eventually wind up with.

Maybe you do? It's actually a hard thing to admit and I give you major props for posting that up on the internet for others to read but if you are questioning it, do it dude. It's not going to hurt anything. The only thing that it will do is HELP you. Especially after reading your last post here, I think that you most certainly need to talk to someone.

I'm really sorry to hear about your situation about you and the wife and I can't imagine going through that someday. I hope I never do.

Keep us updated and get yourself out there! There are so many wonderful chicks out there... something I've just recently noticed after finally stopping chasing the wrong chicks.

Yeah, you should hear my life story...my family was dysfunctional to say the least...my dad had anger issues from his childhood that he never let go (mother was schizophrenic and delusional and father left his mother and re-married and had a new family so he didn't care about my dad much....my dad disowned him early on and never saw him the rest of his days...didn't go to his funeral either). My mom is like my dad's mom...she schizophrenic with paranoid delusions. My mom has always been a pack rat/hoarder and my dad was kind of a neat freak...I got the best of both worlds...I'm messy and I have OCD about some things...lol. My parents stayed together for God knows what reason, they hated each other and I was the product of that....my dad had one mission in life though and that was to raise me to be a better person than he was....let me tell you, he succeeded.

Moving on....my dad passed away in 06 (it was my wife and my anniversary...3 years together just dating at the time)...the last I saw him was 10 days before that on his birthday...we said we would get together and hang out just the two of us like we used to, but it never happened...he died while I was at Showplace in Coon Rapids with my wife (my then g/f) and I will remember forever it was during "Fun with Dick and Jane".

Fast forward 6 months...my wife and I got married in Vegas and bought a house (bought the house before getting married). I was so upset, my dad didn't get to see that or my children.

Fast forward to early 07. My wife and I are expecting our daughter...we find out it's a girl and a little while later on a regular ultra sound, they find something wrong...do some more checking, then finally tell us she has an ultra rare heart condition...HLHS (hypoplastic left heart syndrome)...link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypopla...heart_syndrome ... She was given a decent chance of survival with 3 surgeries all done by the age of 3.

Fast forward to July 19th 07. Abigail Rose was born. Beautiful little girl. She was taken away right away and hooked up to all the machines so they could monitor her and do everything in their power to help her (Minneapolis Children's Hospital...wonderful staff and place). They do some tests and check things out...major complications...our little girl CAN'T be saved. She had complications with her lungs that they didn't know about with ultra sounds....they told us to let her go...either pull her off life support and hold her for a minute and say good bye or let go slowly and suffer and watch her slowly give up life. We chose to hold her. They brought her to us and we had a minute with her while the lady hand pumped oxygen into her. As soon as she pulled the mask away, Abby was gone. Our little angel was only with us for 21 hours. I miss her so much to this day...that's what my first tattoo is for:


Fast forward ONE WEEK LATER...after the memorial service for my daughter, my grandpa isn't doing well...a couple days later (within a week of losing my daughter), my grandpa dies. I felt nothing...I wasn't sad, I wasn't upset, I was empty...after losing my daughter, I felt absolutely nothing for losing my grandpa...I feel bad about the fact I felt nothing, but he lived 92 years on this earth...he had a life, my little girl didn't get to see anything...

Fast forward to June 18th 08....my son Oliver Thomas (Thomas after his grandpa, my dad) is born...healthy as can be....no problems then and really no problems now when he's almost 2...best kid/healthiest kid in the world.

Fast forward to today....I'm getting divorced, my wife is leaving me, we are letting our house foreclose and filing bankruptcy.

This is the sum of my life so far. There are great and horrible things of it...but the one thing I've learned through it....

Life goes on...you push through as hard as it may be. I wanted to end it after my dad died...I thought about it after losing my daughter. I've gone through so much in 4 years that most people don't go through in their entire lives...and I'm still here.

That's my story. So I have hope for the future...I have hope that one day I will be happy (I have my happy days now, but I mean truly happy).

I often think about in my 26 years of life, I have enough to write a book and tell the world, and sometimes I wish I would just sit down and write it all down. It feels good to get it out. My buddies that live together in Ramsey are Matt and Josh...Matt is the homeowner, Josh rents a room from Matt w/ his g/f Biz....Josh went to school (4 year degree) in psychology. He knows me well and he can look at everything from 2 perspectives..as a friend and as a professional (even though his career path led him to computer networking)...even though I know I need help, I don't know where to go...he helped me by telling me about Family Life Center in Coon Rapids here (near Anoka Ramsey CC)...so sometime in the next few weeks when life isn't as hectic, I will take the time to make an appointment and schedule a meeting with someone to talk about all that I've written above. I don't think I need medication, but I do believe I need people to talk to....people that have an outside perspective...as if you can't tell from my writings here, I am wise and "old" for being 26...I grew up fast when I was a kid because of my home life and never really enjoyed my childhood. That's why I believe I have a good outlook on life and can realize the things that are wrong and that need work and attention.



SIDE NOTE: I've decided I'm going to steer clear of the "kid"....the 18 year old...she would be too drama filled...she's dated 20 times the number of people I have...she dated someone nearly 2 times her age...I'm just thinking **** now...that's it. I am not even going to attempt this one...not worth my time and I don't want to feel lower than I do now, I want to feel better...this would lower my standards.

As far as my friend Matt's sister, I'm still interested in seeing what happens there. I will definitely try to get out and meet girls. I'm not the type to go and screw someone just because...never was, never will be. I'm not saying it won't happen because I do think it would be fun, but it's not me and I don't think it would help my situation...would just be temporary fun. I'm going to be single for as long as possible, but I will want to be in a relationship again sooner than later...that's what I want in life is a loving, caring, fun relationship....not flings, not someone to just date or screw.

And as for getting out and having fun...that will come as my friends and I get out and have more fun....I think Parnell said it right...just go have fun (and depending on the setting) the girls will come to me. As long as I'm confident and outgoing...those are what I need to work on...a little liquid courage always helps to an extent as well.


My tattoo for my dad:

 

Pedders are on!!!


Things for sale:
Sportlines springs
SS/SC struts and shocks
SS/SC springs





FYI...you will not be able to install your cabs with C clamp tool, that will work for normal cabs but not these race ones ...I found out the hard way. One of my cabs now looks like the garbage disposal gave it a few rounds and it stuck about 85% of the way into the contol arm. So for now I'm running one race cab that's not even 100% into the CA ...hope she hold out till I can repull the arm and get it pressed in at a shop.

Hey, at least the Pedders feel great!
