My brother is flying in from Illinois to visit this week. I'm picking him up this afternoon from the airport. I took some days off, so we'll be bumming around LA and having some fun. Itll be nice to actually spend some time with him as I haven't really been able to since high school circa 2000.

Purchased a 2018 Toyota Prius over the weekend. It feels like I'm driving a spaceship, and the gas mileage is freaking crazy. I'm looking to get a promotion at work, but I am unsure of what the competition will be. Overall things are good. I'm looking forward to warmer weather, and with it drinking beers outside once again.

I actually don't smoke it public. If I do smoke, it is in my own home, or in my car. Sure people smoke partially for looks. But people do almost everything in public for looks. Everyone wants to look good.

Hi Mike!

Goldbludgeon was the last name of the first ever character I rolled for DnD. His full name was Ricamross Goldbludgeon, he was a alcoholic dwarf fighter. He first entered the story line by being thrown through the tavern wall by a troll. He was a fun character.

Mike, you sound like an awesome guy. It really blows that you got stuck with cancer, ( incurable at that ) but it sounds like it has made you into who you are now, which is awesome. Your hobbies are rocking. I love that you graduated from the Ringling Brothers College. That blows my mind.

1. The best thing after a relationship is to separate entirely. Cut off all contact. It hurts more, but in the long run it is better.

2. A grudge held against the other person can sour your view of them. This holds true for all relationships. Forgive one another.

3. Love is not a never ending resource. The other person may run out.

4. You cannot change the other person. Only they can.

5. You want to be interdependent. You must realize that together you can achieve much greater things than you could by yourself.

6. You are often wrong, and your partner is as well. Admit it when you are.

7. Do not worry so much.

8. Finally, be yourself. Don't try to be anyone different. They will fall in love with something you are not, and that is a recipe for disaster.
