Shibathedog Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 First let me start by saying, goddamn I missed this place. Oh yeah and, I'm glad to be back. While where getting things like this out of the way, here is what I have been up to, mostly in order. I probably forgot some things but its 4:45AM here and I doubt you really want to read a detailed story of my life for the past however many months it has been. I'm not sure If this happened before or after I disappeared, but I became a manager at the restaurant I was working at, It was great for awhile, but was extremely exhausting, I got to the point where I just really didn't want to do it anymore. I really wanted to get demoted or something, but in a weird way it was like a small family there, I would be screwing everyone over sort of. Unfortunately I didn't really get to make a decision about this because I got screwed by a babysitter/co worker and was forced to quit. There was no way Marley could come to work with me. I didn't really want to quit, but I guess that's how that worked out. Shortly after that, me and my gf moved in together, she was living with her parents, and I was living with a friend before that. Fortunately she works at citi where they pay her very well so we are doing fine. We don't have a ton of money or anything, but we get by with everything we need. Up until about this point, I had been extremely busy, between working shit tons of hours, running to my place, running to her place, doctors, wic offices (free baby stuff from the government hooray!), etc. I just really didn't have time for anything, I was constantly exhausted, I really felt like I was going to die. I got online every once in awhile, posted things here and there, I even tried to get into this other forum (gasp) but it just wasn't the same. Small enthusiast PC board, great board, especially since I was able to keep up with it pretty easily, but now I have a lot more free time because I'm not longer playing catch up with all the stuff I didn't get done earlier (finally), I wanted to wait to come back until I could post more than just every so often. Anyway, now I'm a stay at home dad. My gf goes to work all day, and I get to spend all day with my daughter, which is nice because at first I barely got to see her at all. She is a little shit and she drives me nuts, but I love her. Everything seems to have worked out WAY differently than I expected. I was really losing my mind at the beginning there. I'm glad I stuck it out. Me and my parents don't talk anymore, but it doesn't bother me to be honest. I'm doing great. I'm thinking about getting some shitty job at a gas station or something just for some extra side cash. We are both going to go to college, but I think she is going to go to college first, then I will (I ended up dropping out for now). See one of Obamas big changes basically says as long as we don't get married yet she can go for free (she gets a certain amount of money, which happens to be more than enough for the colleges around here). So that works out nice for her/us. I have some money saved away for myself too. I already have some classes finished though, So this is still open to debate. So yeah, Basically I sit at home all day with my daughter, So I have A LOT of free time now and I'll be here pretty much all day and because everyone seems to do this, it's now my turn to annoy everyone else with it! Time for an excessive photo gallery of Marley (but not too excessive) Oh yeah, and what did I miss? I imagine quite a bit! The whole site looks different! (I actually tried to do this a few days ago but the site was down) This is her most of the time, and my current background:
Agozer Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 As much as I like baby pictures, for god's sake, think of the 56kers (Actually, think of the broadband users with monitor resolutions somewhere around 1280x1024 -1600x1200, too). All image processing tools can freely resize these days after all, and image hosting sites use thumbnails to top it off. You know, just saying. In any case, Welcome Back.
Shibathedog Posted June 28, 2009 Author Posted June 28, 2009 Ah my bad, I thought it would be resized/use thumbnails automatically, I don't use these sites enough to know. I guess I'm off to figure that out. EDIT: Done.
Inky Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 glad to hear things are working out for you shiba. cute kid.
Alpha Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Welcome back Shiba! Long time no speak, nor see. We thought we lost you for good. I hope all is going well now. Glad to see you're now a father, perhaps you should rename to ShibaTheFather? It would sound pretty cool IMO. Beautiful baby pictures might I add ... once again, it's great to see you back!
L.S.D Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Lol, Shiba, welcome back. We always wonder what happened to you. I want a baby girl too
Shibathedog Posted June 28, 2009 Author Posted June 28, 2009 Thank you all for the warm welcome, It's good to see that a lot of you are still here.
Krosigrim Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Awesome! Now you and Hera can gab about your little girls lol. Cute kid. Now you can do polities videos and bake! Duuude Stay at home dad must be GREAT!!! All that time to play with Marley... and well... chill Hey... didja... didja quit smoking??? Well anyway... WELCOME BACK!!!
Smilee Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Its good to have you back. We need more people back now.
Shibathedog Posted June 29, 2009 Author Posted June 29, 2009 Ha, unfortunately I didn't quit smoking, but I smoke a lot less, and I do it outside where Marley can't see me doing it. I went from about pack and a half a day to like 2 or 3 a day. Also I stopped smoking Camel/Marlboro/Gas station stuff and I only smoke quality stuff you have to roll yourself so it's at least slightly less unhealthy because there are no additives. My lungs feel a lot better and it's a lot cheaper. I got this machine that pops em out with filters and everything. It seems like I'm almost outgrowing it because after I have had a certain amount of cigarettes in a day it just becomes nasty and I don't want any more and I have slowly been smoking less and less because of this. If you meant legal herbs, Technically I only smoke it like once every couple months now. I invested in a vaporizer, No smoke at all and much better for you. Doesn't make you all tired and groggy either because supposedly that is caused by massive antibodies being released from the smoke. (although I don't really understand this because cigarettes don't make you tired) This also saves me money because you only need very small amounts. Oh yeah and no smell so its easy to hide from Marley. While we are on the subject I don't really drink anymore either (not that I ever did very much) because a lot of times instead of getting drunk I just get really dizzy and it's not very enjoyable. I'm not really sure why this happens/started happening, but its less money to spend and my liver is happy so it's all good. Anyway yeah stay at home dad is awesome. My basic day is wake up around 10:30, Take Christina to work, go home, watch Marley from then till 5-7 when she tires herself out going nuts in her bouncy chair and falls asleep, chill around and relax till about 9:45 when I go get Christina from work, return home, then Marley usually eats and plays for an hour and goes back to sleep, me and Christina have some time together, and then go back to bed and do it all over again. We usually stay up real late, but I stay up nearly all night because I can just go to sleep the next day while marley is asleep if I need to. Christina gets up with Marley early in the morning and is off 3 days a week so she usually watches her while I sleep in on her off days too which is pretty damn nice of her. Ha, I better enjoy this while it lasts. I really want to try and find a job I can work on those three days though and Christina said she would be okay with that. Either that or one that pays enough for a babysitter + decent money (SO expensive) that I could work all the time, but I dunno I like watching her myself. It would be hard to find someone I trusted/could do it/has the time too.
Krosigrim Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Well I'm glad you cut down on the cigarettes. Thats my next thing. I find I smoke because I'm bored. My original question was about the gonja. I am glad you practically stopped. I was under the impression that you were a hard core toker. We spoke about this before she was born... if you remember. But you have had alot going on man! I sense your relationship is going well. Just make sure you don't take her for granted... lol. Or voce versa... I know I know... I'm just saying. As alot has changed with you, so to has the lives of alot of us too. Me especially. I'll not speak for anyone else, but I see alot of change since you were on all the time. But yea... cute girl man. First step is getting that 'ole NES controller in her hand! lol. I always wanted to have kids when all my buddies were... that way we can train them like Pokemon!!!
