It has been a few days since I have posted a blog. Dull is not a term that I would use to describe my life the past few days. As an update...I am continuing to get some massive friction from the reaction of my blog posting entitled "Even Without A Dad, Things Can Turn Out Right". I spoke in that blog that I did not have a positive male role model growing up. My point of that blog posting was not to call anyone out or to disrespect. The instances that I brought up in that blog was merely to point out that I should of went down a road of trouble. Whether that trouble be drug use, alcohol abuse, or teenage sex, it should've been me, but it wasn't. That was message in that blog posting. Things can be sugarcoated all they want, but reality is reality and things happened and choices were made. I guess right now I am not interested in the responsibility being taken because it happened some 20 years ago, but I will not apologize for speaking my feelings, or for having the people that know me not know this about me, and most certainly for my attempts for attempting to heal from those traumatic experiences. I just wanted to finally talk about some of those things because for the first time in my life, I feel okay doing so. I'm not a person of drama. I hate drama. If I see a film listed as a drama...it's out! LOL. But really, I don't like unnecessary bickering and I don't like getting into an argument over a very irrelevant issue. Life is too short, and at times I have forgotten this. Now, however, that message is shining bright like a theater on Broadway.
So I am getting ready to head to New York State for the second time in just over 60 days. This time I went through the process of getting an enhanced driver's license from the State of Minnesota and let me tell you that Minnesota pretty much knows everything about me after applying for that sucker. The reason for the enhanced license is because I wanted to take a route through Canada instead of going through the states, which is the route usually taken. There is no scenery left for me with the states and going through the City of Chicago is the ultimate drivers education behind the wheel challenge. The other thing about going through the states is the amount of money spent on the toll highways. It usually costs between $140-160 dollars for every round trip to New York and back going through the states and being efficient in time. So Canada eliminates the tolls, it eliminates Chicago, and I was told it is about eight hours shorter in driving time. I may have to try some new foods up in Canada when driving through.
So, with the past few days being tense, the highlight for me was spending time with my brother and going to WWE Monday Night Raw at the Target Center in Minneapolis this past Monday. I don't get to see my brother as often as I'd like to. In fact, I hardly get to see him with his busy life. So, I was glad that we were able to hang out and revisit our youth by going to RAW. It is the first time I have been to a pro wrestling event in over 10 years. The reality is that the last time I went it was referred to as pro wrestling, and it is now referred to as sports entertainment. It was a good time and it was a good escape for me with everything going on right now.
I am not sure if I will be having a blog posting while I am in New York over the next week or so, but I would like to. Please make sure that you are checking for a new posting as I am going to try my hardest to do some blogging, because it is a good thing for me and that is what I need to always remember.
