I’ve Found My Soulmate

I just want the world to know that I have found my soulmate.  Her name is Natasha Anderson, and I love her with everything that I am.  She is beautiful, funny, sensible, responsible, so sexy, and crazy enough to love me.  In a word, she’s perfect.  I am so proud of her, so proud to be with her.  I’m unsure  that I’m worthy of her, and I’m certain I don’t deserve to be as happy as I am with her, but I try to improve every day.  I work hard to be worthy.  Some days I do better than others, but I always try as hard as I can.

I tried to upload a picture, but I’m having some technical difficulties.  The upload keeps erroring out, but I’ll get it fixed!

Keep ‘er Steady, Boys

I’m not a trained psychologist, and I don’t want to incorrectly diagnose myself with disorders I don’t have.  However, I will say that, over the years, I’ve noticed that I’m susceptible to mood swings.  Sometimes my mood shifts slowly, over the course of hours or days. Other times it changes at the speed of sound.  Sometimes it’s a minor, barely perceptible shift.  Other times the change is so drastic that I almost seem like two different people.

The Chaos Reassures Me

I spent a large part of my weekend on research and paperwork, because I had to fill out so many forms for the background check I must pass to continue working for the Treasury.  I’ve done worse; the last  time I did this sort of paperwork, it was for the last fifteen years of my life.  This check only covers seven.

Even so, this paperwork was no easy task.  Now that  it’s done, I stand back to consider the quantified tally of my activities over the last few years, and I understand something with more clarity than ever before.  The last nine years of my life have been a colossal pain in the ass.

Since I left the Army in April 2000, I’ve:

The Bouncer

Shannon is a smart fellow, but he’s not the classic computer super-geek.  Threaten him or someone under his protection, and you’ll see Bruce Banner become the Hulk.

He has dabbled in the protection business.  He’s done a very little bit of body guard work and has worked a few clubs as a bouncer.  He enjoys both the social opportunities and occasional brawl the job provides.  It appeals to his dual nature: Computer nerd by day, tough guy by night.

Unfortunately, current time constraints and other professional obligations prevent him from indulging in this work, but Shannon hopes to have time and opportunity to do it again before he gets to old to be effective.
