Oh, and I borrowed some money from family, so I'm taking the cat to the vet tomorrow, I don't really know how much 50 bucks will do. We are going tomorrow to look for a place. The wife and I sat down and had a long, serious talk. I feel terrible about lashing out at her, she has tried everything to help with the cat. Now the dog, while I don't like him or any other dogs, I'll just have to get used to. I know she loves it, like I do my cat. We are going to Tennessee soon to look for a place, there are a lot more jobs there. Or maybe another town in Ky called Middlesboro. Anywhere but here is fine with me. We are in the process of packing up, so hopefully in a few weeks we'll be out of this dump. I think finding a new job will do me good, because even though I like being by myself, I need to get out every now and then. Stuffed up in the house may be working on my nerves to. At least when the weather gets warmer, I can grab my fishing pole (thankfully, the wife enjoys fishing too, and not to brag, but I'm an awesome fisherman, hehe. My dad is the best I've ever seen, those chumps on the T.V. have nothing on him, and I've learned a lot from him over the years.) and that always calms me. I wanna touch on religion guys. I respect ALL religions, and I hope that talking about it does not offend. I think that all religions are just different ways to reach the same goal, oneness with the higher power. Some may not believe in religion, and I don't agree some doctrines and practices of most organized religions, but I respect them all. I do believe someone is watching over us all. The preacher who married us did a fantastic job, and while waiting for the wedding to start, I told him about the miscarriage, and how this time I wanted the child not to be conceived out of wedlock. During the ceremony, he said "and my God bless your children". I almost cried. In fact, I'm tearing up a bit right now thinking about it. I am not ashamed to say so. Deep down I know I have not been forgotten, even though sometimes I feel like it. I only hope I'm forgiven for such doubt. I think that preacher and his wife are really good people, they helped us so much. I wanna start going to their church, so this Sun. we are gonna get our butts down there. That will be the only thing I miss about this place, the jovial, chubby little preacher and his wife. I swear, I think of Friar Tuck from the Disney Robin Hood every time I see him, lol. He's such a nice man. I'm feeling better now, and I think I'll feel even more content once we move, I find work, and we start going to church. I'm ready to get up off my bum and make a change, so thanks guys for all the support! Besides, my Black Legion can't grow if I don't have money and a bigger room to put them in, hehe.

Just as a note... most of the older members here do have some form of religous beliefs (I'm a... believer that Jesus is the Son of God... lol... I dislike the use of the word Christian)

But... wow... and I thought my life was difficult... all I have to worry about is getting caught up on my school (which I'm supposed to be doing now...)...

All I can say is yes, I'll pray for you, and, I don't know if anyone else will believe me but I do believe that God (that is, God the Father, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ) does answer pray, because I have seen them answered. Both in my own life and in the lives of others.

On top of that, be smart! Think smart and act smart! If you do move, then well... move to a place that has a good school system, good job opportunities and nice people (nice neighbors are better than bad or indifferent ones!). Don't spend money you don't have. Don't buy things you don't need (sadly... if you don't have the money, those Black Legionarres might need to be kept aside for the moment). Etc.

And another thing... there are people out there who probably have it worse... which is always encouraging. Sorta... I think...

And like Wakim said, we all make mistakes. ALL OF US. EVERYONE. Some of us do stupid things everyday (the rest, every other day, ). Don't kill yourself or beat yourself up just because you got mad at your wife, or you hate her dog or something. Making mistakes is part of life. They are helpful, so long as you learn from them (something many people fail to do).

Don't worry! Be happy!

Oh, and Yahoo, great story. I liked it a lot.
