Dazed & Confused - Surreal 2013

So much has gone on lately - and a lot of it just absolutely crazy.  Mostly by me, but not all me.  The post title "Surreal 2013" is a bit misleading.  I'd say the past 6 months was surreal.  Gosh, today is March 28 - somewhere around here - whoops, I guess I already missed it - one of the "anniversaries" of the Verizon layoff.  There was the official announcement in early March 2004 towards the end of one my vacations.  Of course, we knew it was coming - this was just the date it was made official.  Then it was sometime in April - the end of April?  That it was officially over.  Damn.  9 years.  The beginning of an era that was to shape my life.  Mostly negatively and unproductive, I would say.  Kinda what let us to where we are today - although that was just a mere drop in the bucket of what got me/us to where we are today.   That had its beginnings long ago.

I know it's hard for me.  It's hard for me to accept the fact that I as an individual have been capable of some of the things I have done/let happen/whatever.  As a person/husband/father - I hope and pray that I have and/or will receive the strength to pull myself out of the abyss that has been my life, especially over the past few years - and make something of myself.  Even as I approach age 50.
