I am going to be starting a new blog soon. I really hope that everyone that has helped this blog become something special to me, will in fact visit my new one, once it is up and running. I am still working on a few ideas for it, but I will be sure to let everyone know when it is done.

Thanks everyone, for stopping by day to day to read my ramblings. :)

First of all the surgery went well, my stepmom is back home. Glad that it all went well for her. She also took the time to write this, and I wanted to share it with everyone.

Wow! Joe I really appreciate every word you wrote here. It makes me feel really good. I was very glad to be there during the time that you were growing up, AND, now that you are a grown man. Not just because you needed it, but because I enjoyed your company. (Don’ want to get timed out, be right back)

When you were a teenager, I used to love to play sit and play nintendo with you, (even though you were better than me!) You taught me how to play when we were sitting around. Michigan was boring! I remember on time specifically when you chastised me, I kept dying on super mario land on gameboy, and you said “you can’t just go running around everywhere without looking around you for danger, or the good things.” Do you have any idea how that has changed my life for the better!?!

Sometimes I find myself going through life, just going through the motions, and things are going bad, and I remember what you said. I realize that it is my own fault that I keep running into the dangers, because I am not paying attention to what is around me. And I am sometimes missing the good things too, because of not looking around me. It was just one little sentence, coming out of a 13 year old mouth, but it has helped me out many times. Thank you for being you, Joe. Thank you for being a part of my life too. A huge thank you to all these people for the nice words on here about me, and I don’t even know any of you. It makes me feel great that that least SOMEONE cares. Love Mom :>)

Anyway, I honestly forgot saying that to her about looking out for danger, but I am glad that it was valuable advice to her, after all these years. I am still a little overwhelmed that it has been 20 years since I said that.

The past few days, I have had some rather rude comments on here, and I know everyone has the right to their opinion about things, but I would really appreciate it if you didn’t put rude things on my blog.

I don’t do that to other people’s blogs and I sure don’t need it here. Please if you want to say something rude, email me.

Here is my email address: theunhappycamper@gmail.com.

Thank you.

Get well soon.

I was reading my email today and I found out that my stepmom in Washington, is going to be in surgery this morning. The doctors there think that she has Viral Meningitis. I wish I could go out there to visit with her and try to comfort her. But I am unable to afford to pay for the flight out to Washington, so the best I can do is pray for her.

I know I said pray, it is something that I am not the best at, but I will do my best if it means that she comes out of the surgery and stuff ok.

My stepmom means alot to me, because she acted like more of a mom to me that my real mother had as I was growing up. She took time to understand my dilemmas and she did the best she could to make sure I had a fairly normal childhood. As much as a person could have when they are bounced around from home to home.

She was always honest with me also, she never told me something that was bullshit to make me feel better or to just make a bad situation better. I respected her alot for being truthful with me, well maybe not at that point in my life, because I was a hard headed little kid. And I sure didn’t want to listen to anyone, but now that I look back at it, I am happy she was so honest with me.

The one thing that I could always say about my stepmom, if I ever needed to talk to someone and I was able to get in touch with her, she always listened to me, and I will always remember that.

Thanks Cindy, Get Well Soon.

Food for thought.

I was behind one of the local grocery stores here last night, looking for something to eat, when I realized how much food our stores waste. This particular store that I went behind, had at least 4-5 bags of bakery foods thrown out, and under those there was all sorts of lunch meats and different types of meats.

It makes me laugh, people say there isn’t enough food to feed the homeless and the needy but yet all of this food gets thrown away on a weekly basis.

We are such a wasteful country and yet, we complain that there isn’t enough to go around. Why is that?

Anyway, I took what I could get into a small plastic store bag, and I went back to the downtown area where I ran into a few of my street friends, and I shared the finds that I had. We ate lunch meat sandwiches, had a few pastries, and I even managed to drag along a 2 liter of Pepsi.

I felt like my friends that feed the homeless on Tuesday and Thursday nights. It gave me a little bit of joy knowing I helped people that are need just like I am.

Cops, Again.

Last night I was out riding my bike back to my spot, when I decided to stop at one of the parks. I was there to get a drink of water. I had to stand there and wait for a couple of people to get their water and leave, as I stood there for about 45 seconds, I heard a car pull up behind me. It was a black car with tinted windows, next thing I knew, “Police” they looked right at me and told me to lean my bike against the wall. So, I did. What is great, the one cop that harrassed me a month or so ago, just happened to be one of the officers last night.

Of course he started right in on me. I paid no attention to it, and I think that irritated him more, once he was done running his mouth and I turned over my ID to him, I asked him what I was being stopped for. The first thing that he said was, there have been multiple burglaries in the area, and you happened to be by yourself. So that made us suspicious of you. I let them run my name, and as before, I came back with nothing for them to arrest me on.

He looked at me and said, he remembered telling me to get out of his city. I just stood there and waited to see what he would do, and nothing came about. He told me to get gone and he didn’t want to see me anywhere the rest of the night. I agreed and said I didn’t want to see him either. He got a little red, but they got in their car and left.

There is a good thing to all of this, I got his badge number and name this time. Also, at least I know I have no warrants or anything. So I guess I can thank the Fort Lauderdale Police for keeping me up to date on my criminal record. :)

Going to church.

I have been playing with the thought of going back to church for a while now. And today after I finished reading a book called Blue Like Jazz I feel that it is time for me to do so. I am not saying that I am going to get all spiritual and everything, its just that I need something more in my life, because right now I feel incomplete.

I wrote about church, and religion and how I feel about it in the past, and for some reason after I read the book I was given, I have a different outlook on all of it. Besides maybe I will make new friends at church.

The hardest for me is deciding what church to go to. When I was a kid, we went to a Church of Christ. I am not sure what my denomination is, or even how I would find out what it is. Is there a handbook or something that would help a person decided what type of church they need to attend? Is it some place in the Bible?

Or is at easy as just going to a church that I am comfortable in? These are things that are keeping me from just jumping into a church. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.

Maybe some of my church friends that come out during the week can steer me in the correct direction, or maybe one of them would be willing to let me tag along to their church. Either way I am open to ideas.
