Another wasted night on the server :( Running out of people I like to play with regularly who are actually on when I am. Syn and Nik are never on when I am. Maiken quit, Luca isn't on nearly as much as before and Jenns getting on late when at all.

11:58 pm - What should have been said
I'm emotionally drained, and angry.
The service was nice enough. It was really nice that the preacher and his staff did it for free. That's a wonderful thing, yes. But....I'm sitting there and there were no pictures of him, a pretty small turn out and all I could think was "He deserved better than this". Joey was the best of us. He was the strongest, the one who always got he girls, the one with the coolest hair, he had a big heart, and loyalty towards his friends that had no ending. And when the Preacher asked if anyone wanted to speak and Dana looked at me and asked if I wanted to..I did want to. I should have, but I couldn't. It was all I could do not to cry right there and then and the injustice of everything.
Joey was a year younger than I am, but in every way that mattered he was an older brother. He was there the first time I drank, the first time I got high. He showed me how to act around girls, how party, how to be a friend. I think sometimes that I was the heart of the group back then. But Joey was it's soul. He was the one that everyone revolved around. So..the things I couldn't bring myself to say at the service, some random memories in salute to my friend, my brother. I love you man and I always will.
Drinking Mad dog 20/20 in the woods behind Little Jimmy's trailer park, on the tree that fell over the trail during Hurricane Gloria.
Me, John and Joey having a bottle war over a fence with some guys in the ghetto behind Johns park. No doubt it would have been a real fight if the fence wasn't there. Dozens of bottles thrown and the only one to get hit was Joey. Twice in his thigh.
Him fucking his finger up while spotting me at the gym. He thought the pin was coming loose and without thinking tried to fix it while I was doing reps, and 120 pounds of weight came down. Ouch.
Surfing on the hood of Danny's car.
Karaoke at Kelly's Tavern. "The Boys are back in town"
Me, Joey, Danny and John, all giving each other cross tats on our middle finger.
Joey piercing my ear back at his moms house.
Me, hooking up with a girl at a party, cause she didn't think Joey was interested in her. He was just too drunk to notice she was coming on to him.
Parties at the Pit. Every lake called the Pit. For some reason, they all were.
He liked corny movies like Steel Dawn and The Outsiders.
Joey had a strong sense of right and wrong. Of what was okay to do, and what wasn't. He had a strong faith in God, without being a fanatic. He showed me how to be a friend, simply by being one of the best ones that I have ever had.

09:48 pm - Timing
So, Joeys service will be at 7pm on Saturday. My birthday, and just 2 days shy of what would have been his. So strange.

02:23 pm - RIP
Fuck. I don't even know what to say. I feel like I've been punched in the gut. Though I haven't seen him in years. Shit, briefly during my first Marriage, my oldest and at one time closest friend just died. Another friend just tracked me down through Facebook to tell me. Son of a bitch, but this is harder than you would think. I stopped talking to him years ago because he was getting into crack and always seemed to be high on something I'd never even consider trying. Now, it's killed him. Joe Michael Collins. Who's birthday would have been may 4th died weds from a heroin overdose and even though I haven't seen him in years, I feel like I've lost someone very important to me. And like I've lost another piece of my youth, if that makes any kind of sense. Damnit Joey, I miss you man. There won't even be a service. there's no money for anything.
Fuck fuck fuck. I havn't cried like this in a long time.

08:50 am
So, my job is stressful as hell and a lot more work than I'm used to.I can do it, I am doing it, for the baby. But that has me stressed out. Dana is also stressed so that doesn't help much. Money is tight and we have a lot of reasons to worry. To anyone I've been snappish with, that's mostly why.
Rhiannon is over 9 months old now. She can walk a couple steps without falling, just started saying "DADA" this past Saturday (she said Mama first) and is on stage 3 foods and some grown up stuff, like Jello :P She's teething again, she has 4 of them now. All on the bottom.

11:51 pm - so
10:30 the nieghbor came by to ask if his music/tv whatever the hell it is was to loud. It was. I invited him inside to hear. Turns out his TV hangs on the wall we share, and so shakes the wall. That's settled and so much nicer than last night when he wanted to fight me for complaining.
Couldn't get on the game tonight because I had to watch the baby while the wife played her game. Rhiannon was really fussy. I could be online and read but focus on a game? Hell no.
We went to see the inlaws, that was all right. Last night my mom came over and I cooked some fried flounder, cheesy/garlic biscuits, french fries and green beans.
Right now I am sitting on the floor with the laptop while the baby is next to me in her swing, My hope is that she will fall asleep soon because I need to go to bed. Badly.

09:05 am - Blah
-Bug problems
-Lost my job
-Neighbor wanted to fight me last night when I asked him to turn his music down at midnight
I'm not suicidal, so maybe I could shove my head into an easy bake oven? Just for symbolisms sake.
Fuck I'm depressed.

03:11 am - fuck
Went into work tonight and my badge didn't work. Okay, must be broken or something. I walk around the building to get security to let me in. Long story short. Lay offs. 8 years with the company and let go. I have a decent severance package, so If I find something soon I'll be okay. But right now, I am very much not okay. I have a wife, a house payment, and a new baby. I am stressed and scared and terrified of letting them down. I don't know what the fuck to do. Anything else would be whining. I'm out

Money has been a bitch. I've had to cancel cable, we still have it till the 12th. We're way behind on everything and it's hard to see a way out right now. Works slowed to where there's no real Overtime to be had so that's out, and Dana is working 2 hours less than before we had the baby, so she can be home in time for me to get some sleep. That's probably the main part of my stress right now. Hard to see a way out.
*
A couple months ago our neighbors moved. Nice people, was a shame they left. More of a shame is that when they moved, it seems they had roaches and stirred them up. We've been fighting them ever since. I have everything out of the cabinets in the kitchen, sprayed some shit all over and....nothing. Will be going out today to get some other poison. We want to avoid bug bombs or an exterminator if we can. We aren't dirty people and this is fucking embarrassing.
*
Rhiannon is wonderful. We took her with us to my Niece's (in law) Birthday/halloween party. Lots of kids there and she got to dress up. (see picture in previous post)
I was at work tonight and Dana called upset, thinking Rhia had a fever, but she couldn't find the thermometer. So...I managed to leave early. Family has to come first, right? I picked up a new one and the baby is fine, false alarm. New parents yaknow?
*We were going out with the nieces and nephew tonight with the baby, but Dana is sick so who knows? I'd be happy watching a scary movie and terrorizing the kids while giving out candy.

![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) nichy sent me a great song. In honor of Halloween here it is.
Heya Tom, it’s Bob from the office down the hall
Good to see you buddy, how’ve you been?
Thing have been OK for me except that I’m a zombie now
I really wish you’d let us in
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand
But here’s an FYI: you’re all gonna die screaming All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains I don’t want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?
To spend your whole life locked inside a mall?
Maybe that’s OK for now but someday you’ll be out of food and guns
And then you’ll have to make the call
I’m not surprised to see you haven’t thought it through enough
You never had the head for all that bigger picture stuff
But Tom, that’s what I do, and I plan on eating you slowly All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains I’d like to help you Tom, in any way I can
I sure appreciate the way you’re working with me
I’m not a monster Tom, well, technically I am
I guess I am I’ve got another meeting Tom, maybe we could wrap it up
I know we’ll get to common ground somehow
Meanwhile I’ll report back to my colleagues who were chewing on the doors
I guess we’ll table this for now
I’m glad to see you take constructive criticism well
Thank you for your time I know we’re all busy as hell
And we’ll put this thing to bed
When I bash your head open All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains
