  • Dude dilemma

    Tuesday, March 31, 2009 | A Frustrating story

         Ok, for those of you that know me pretty well on this site know that Im a homo. No I'm not your typical homo(if there is such a thing) but a homo nonetheless. It's not the end-all be-all of who I am, just another thing that makes Wesley Wesley.
    So anyway, I had this boyfriend for the past 3 years that was pretty cool. We got along really well, and I eventually move...

  • People Can Be Low Sometimes.

    Monday, October 5, 2009 | A Venting story

    Today was a fairly busy day full of school, homework, and random errends. Anyway, walking back to my dorm today I actually got made fun of for how I walk. I was kind of taken by surprise as it hadn't happened in a while and I figured people at college would be a little more mature. My walking has improved though so I am happy about that. My walking is worse when I'm tired and I limp more ...

Not only did they put a pin about 4-5 inches long inside up toe next to the big one with a little but sticking out with a round ball screwed to it and the rest going inside midway  to my ankle,  on both feet,but also shaved off a bone on to...

  • Wide awake....

    Friday, January 16, 2009 | A Frustrating story

    I am wide awake.  Nothing new.  I no longer have enough meds to be taking them all the time.  So, if I dont have sleeping meds - I dont sleep at all or not much anyway.  And the reduction of the other meds has finally taken a toll on my mind.  Either I am crying, or so down I dont want to move, or my heart is racing and I feel I will explode. 
    Woke yet again with a s...

  • Journal Entry for November 26, 2008

    Wednesday, November 26, 2008 | A Painful story

    Justin, my grandson's funeral services and viewing were tonight in FL from 6-8pm so it is over by now and my son and his wife have seen their son for the last time on earth. I wish I could have been there but I will always remember him by the laughing and thoughtful boy that he was. He was always wanting to help people out, with anything he could do. I remember him swinging from the grape vin...
