First blog post in awhile! Since my last one, I've lived some, cried some, and generally have been okay. Thanks for reading this, pixlbitians!

In June, I went to visit that "girl" in Michigan I had a history with. It was for her birthday, and I gave her a $300 statue after the party. It was of Belldandy from Ah! My Goddess. She didn't even look at it. I left the next day because I felt like she didn't want me around. When I tried talking to her on text later, she gave me the cold shoulder.

In July, I went to Lake St. Clair and visited family for the fourth. I had a weird time, because it was right after I left that girl's house, and I was in a pretty heartbroken mood. I slept most of the week, and did not enjoy myself.

In August, the neighbors had a going away party for my brother. He had just graduated high school and joined the Army. We had a good time then, and it was sort of a birthday party as well.

In September, nothing really happened.

In October, my bro was graduating basic training, so I and my stepdad drove down to South Carolina to see him. It was weird going back to that base, because I had worked there for a year back in 2007 and did not remember where anything was. Heh

In November, I finally gave up on that girl from Michigan. I tried looking her up, because she never really talked to me again. I thought that she maybe needed some time, but I guess that wasn't the case. I found out on facebook that she had been in a relationship with some dude since August. I cried a lot during that time, and I'm not afraid to say it. I think I was in love with her, honestly.

In December, my bro came back for the holidays, and we spent some time together. Had fun.

January was alright. Not much happened last month. A girl started working at my gas station, and I'm really attracted to her. That kind of scares me because I don't want to screw this one up. So far, we get along great and have some chemistry I think. I asked her if she would like to hang out some time, and she said yes.

So yeah, there's the last 8 months for me. How about you guys? Oh yeah, and video games! But that is for another blog.

I know right! In 4 years I've struck out majorly twice. Still hurts, but I gotta hang in there. Somebody will see what a great guy I am 1 day.

Welcome to BaD one day early! Well except for Blake because it's tomorrow there and their toilet water spins the wrong way so whaddya gonna do?

Relationships are full of all kinds of emotions including but not limited to heartbreak. Sometimes you get it wrong but as you've discovered you get more chances just as long as you keep moving on. Do not dwell on the ones that don't work out. It's a waste of time. At least that's the advice I should have taken when it happened to me. :)

My last 8 months haven't been that exciting. My contract which should have ended on December 19th got extended to the end of August 2015.

My wife and I bought 2 tickets for a hospital lottery and those two tickets won us 4 more tickets. However on the main draw we won NOTHING!

I picked up a PS TV with a controller, 8 GB card and Lego Movie game for $99 which seems to be the regular price now. I love it for playing PSP and PS1 games. I have some Vita games for it too but I'm pissed that some games like the newly released Grim Fandango do not work on it. Memories of Celceta was on sale this week but it doesn't work on PS TV either. Overall though it is small and quiet and works well for the games it does play.

Can't think of anything else worth talking about right now. Glad that you are participating. Just noticed your PSN there. I really should add you just to see what you are up to.

Thanks! My problem is that I dwell too much on the past sometimes. I don't know why, always have. PS TV sounds interesting, but I don't have home internet for that. Besides, I have supported the Sony brand since the PS1 days, and already have most of the games I want already. =D

My PSN is inactive, btw. Sorry. I hope to get back on one day, but it's not very likely.

Yeah. See in my case, I just wish I were attractive so I would know whether or not any of my heartache actually had something to do with personality. As is, I will never really know ...

I have found that good looks actually don't have a major impact on whether you can get a girl or not. It's all about how you carry yourself. Smile, confidence and psychology are the determining factors. At least that's what they tell me!

They're full of shit, I carry myself just fine. It's the money I don't have.

... I'm half-joking.

Well it sucks to have a girl break your heart. Trust me I've been there. But it's good you're moved on and onto better things

Thank you. Trying!

When you finally find the girl who returns your affection... That shit is like drugs, dude....soooo good. I'm pulling for you with the gas station lady!

Thanks man. I dunno. I texted her on Sat, and I got nothing. Sunday we only talked for a couple minutes, and nothing today. I dunno. It's probably best if I don't get my hopes up again.

Do the friends thing first. And don't come on too strong. Trust me, we run fast and far when that happens! Invite her to brunch or just out for coffee someplace neutral and see if that helps.
