			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class=""><p>It&#8217;s something I don&#8217;t think I will ever understand. Yet, it has permeated my life multiple times. People seek to find a solution to their problems and look to ending their life. It is fruitless, it is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Even people who experience great trauma do not do so. Perhaps it is just how some people are but I know for a fact that I am tired of it infiltrating my life.</p>
<p><span id="more-37"></span></p>
<p>I have friends who have tried, one has succeeded. My aunt tried and succeeded, however they labeled that as accidental. I don&#8217;t believe so but whatever helps a person sleep at night right? Shay did this tonight, trying to over-dose on pills, cough syrup and other things. Why people do such things I shall never know but I do hope that she will pull through. Tomorrow I am going to give her a talking to. I love my friends and will fiercely keep them if I can.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s in me to do such things because of the life I lead. If I call you friend, expect the same depth of care and devotion.</p>
<p>Scott</p>

<p><span id="more-36"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.homestonejournals.com">HSJ</a> has gotten some more traffic since it&#8217;s inception. I&#8217;m glad it&#8217;s picking up. I&#8217;ve added a lot and put in some work so it&#8217;s good to see a return.</p>
<p>Work is work for now and I&#8217;ve had a few days off to relax. It&#8217;s been well wanted and needed. I am feeling much better than I was before.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class=""><p>Well, life has been crazy to say the least.</p>
<p>I busted my ass last month for sales and it paid off. Check plus commission came to two dollars shy of $1800. Not a bad check at all. I dropped $500 to my parents to help them with bills and such. Paid my own bills and I&#8217;ve got about $500 left. Good little nest egg I hope.</p>
<p><span id="more-35"></span></p>
<p>Romance wise has been interesting. This girl I&#8217;ve been speaking with for months now suddenly pulled a 180 on me. Why, I did not know. It&#8217;s sorted now. Hopefully we can start making progress forwards again.</p>
<p>There are things she has to deal with that make day to day living hard for her and I&#8217;m trying to help. I believe I can because I was until the setback. We&#8217;ll see how it goes but I have high hopes. If I am disappointed then so be it. A man controls his fate but only as much as God allows.</p>
<p>For now, I wish you well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class=""><p>I don&#8217;t get to post much lately with how work is going but I am here now and can do so. It&#8217;s funny to find myself at odds with some things. There is Kathryn who drives me insane a lot but yet I persist.</p>
<p><span id="more-31"></span></p>
<p>We disagree on a good bit and it makes me feel as if things won&#8217;t work. I get annoyed by her going and doing things <strong>every</strong> weekend. I think to myself, &#8220;self, don&#8217;t get pissed, even if you do not understand why she can travel 1,800 miles to visit people but not drive 4 hours to see you.&#8221; On one hand, perfectly logical argument. On the opposite hand, I don&#8217;t have a car to travel and perhaps that sounds bad but it&#8217;s a stepping stone in my life. I&#8217;ve made progress already and I can&#8217;t just grab someones car and go off with it.</p>
<p>I do a lot to take care of my family&#8230;.and I do mean a lot. Usually if mom and dad need it I fork over my whole paycheck like I did last pay check. Dad and mom got speeding tickets because the speedometer is off by 13 mph on their station wagon. Even with a mechanics note total costs rolls out to about $1,500 between the two. I&#8217;m paying the taxes on the house as well. So like I said. I give a lot because family is important to me.</p>
<p>Theres plenty more to gripe about which I will, but for now I am doing fine. I work too much. See my wench very little which bothers me and now I&#8217;m off for food.</p>
<p>I wish you well,<br />
Scott</p>

<p>The laptop is nice, Compaq Presario C700. I dropped 2 GB Ram in here and all is swell. I run everything with no problem. Gotta love the Core2Duo too!</p>
