3) I have a son who's 10 this November and his mother ran off and I can't find neither.
4) I'm above average on everything I attempt with good effort.
5) My mother died on October 14th 2005 at 11:41 pm due to a brain aneurysm when I was 22. My grandpa died 3 weeks later of a stomach aneurysm.
 
Oh my. I would be gutted, personally. :(

Yea. It's been 6 years since I've seen him. It's tough. The first few years where just rage and hatred toward his mother. Now it's just hope. Hope she will be out alone and get hit by a semi.
 
I'll post five more.

1. I can name every Perk Machine in the Zombies mod for CoD WaW, BO, and BO2
2. I am a fan of classic rock
3. I still don't the hype about Porsche in Gran Turismo
4. I want to buy a 2 Door Impreza from 1998 and swap the motor from one from an 05 STi
5. I believe half the people I know are complete idiots
 

Thanks, Pupik - just my usual nosiness when it comes to patterns; I thought the model was linked somehow to a 'delishus carwash $20.00' :lol: Or some other connection to Beverly Cleary.
I was forced to read the series; had a daughter who read them, and she got mad if she discussed Beezus and the gang with me and I was not 'up to date' !

This must be very hard. I have children, and I can empathise with your situation. Even harder to hear (especially from anonymous voices on the internet) that you must cleanse yourself of hate. It will only keep hurting you. Forgiving is hard, but if you do, even in stages, you will become much stronger, and in fact become bigger than your problem itself. You will defeat it eventually, and if you look to the future positively, and plan for it, and believe that you are doing your best to make that future come to you, you will be in a much better position to receive your son, as he grows, and will want to see you again.
Until then, her being alive and in good health may only benefit your son's survival.

My hope is that one day we will hear you say that you and your son spent time together and had the best time ever. :) :cheers:

Thanks for the kind words and wisdom. I have tried in my heart to find forgiveness if I could just get my son, but the damage has been done. Missing out on so many aspects of his life has taken its toll on me. My wife and I have a room set up in the hopes I get to see him. I also have 2 step sons that are the age that I last saw my son, (3 and 4) but as much as I care about them, it's not the same.
I also have a daughter that is 9 months this month and she looks just like my son did at that age. My wife and I are considering a divorce as our personal out look and goals have changed since we first wed. I've already made it perfectly clear if we divorced, I would see my daughter as much as I want. Hopefully all this has a happy ending.
 
Im in.... Again....

1. My wife and I decided to have no kids, ever.
2. If i could drive one car, any one car for the rest of my life I would choose a Ferrari 250 GTO no matter how rare, or how uncomfortable the ride would be. the style and look alone would make up for the 1960's comfort.
3. My favorite fruit as of late is Strawberries
4. Speaking of, I have 2 jars of rather harsh straight moonshine that now are filled with the awesome berries from #3, and will be opened in many many months.
5. Shots of Crown Royal? I am in 100%. I'll drink ya'll under the table!
 
I have recently become fond of cooking.

I only ever wear black 'work' socks. Ever. Unless I'm cycling in winter when I wear
football socks.

Chicken would have to be my all round favourite meat.

I sometimes listen to The Artist Formerly Know as Prince, much to the disgust of my peers.

The last pair of shoes I bought cost my 18元, IIRC, which is 1.80p(GBP).

2.- Lately, no matter how much I sleep, I can´t get to recover my strenght completely...

I have F's in all of my classes in school. I've had enough of this home-schooling crap. :yuck:

My wish is to become a NASCAR driver. Hopefully I'll get to the Cup series, but that's a long shot. I also need to stop being lazy and start exercising so I can actually have the muscle to drive the car.

I continuously think of ways to increase the lifespan of living creatures. A bit risky to experiment, however, so I'll leave that to the scientists.

I've been playing video games since I was 2. :D

I hardly learn from past mistakes, which is probably why I keep failing at stuff and losing at games. :grumpy:

I have recently started BMXing. I can't do anything yet but I'm working on it.

I have an irregular heartbeat, which may be a result of my Monster addiction, but I'm too scared to go to the doctors about it.

My mother uses me to taste food to check if it is rotten, as my stomach is pretty resistant (I've never had a stomach infection and I don't have any problem when eating with spicy sauces).

I've been using my dad's '98 Tacoma he had collecting dust at the garage for about two months or so.

I prefer Pepsi over Coca Cola.

I owned a 1 hectare terrain in Southern Sinaloa, because of a pretty strange statement in my Great-great-grandfather's last will (a birthmark), but it was sold for a considerable amount of money to the government because they wanted to biuld a dam and a bridge, and they're doing it.

You have to build bypasses dams and bridges.
