These last 72 hours have been one rollercoaster of emotions, ranging from the saddening, to rage, to shock, to sweet, to happy, to "moved" ... by someone's words... cry

All in all I must admit, I hate the being pissed/angsty mood. mad I damn it whenever I get the chance, because it only drags me down. 3nodding but I won't say the bad things that happened, because remembering them only makes them stronger... or something along those lines. 3nodding

Anywho, what was probably the happiests moments during my stressed existance in these 72 hours came in the form of three things: A web page designed by my uncle, something posted here, and a High-school friend of mine i had not seen in a LOONG time.

the web page came about as I was bored and exerting(sp?) my stress over the past few weeks from my job at the music store INTO the internet. I searched for various names on google, and when i searched for my brother's real name, a web address piqued my interest, noticing the web domain was the same as my brother's full name.

After looking into the site, and reading the first few lines, I knew already it was my Uncle, whom I have not seen in over 14 years. The reason how I know is because my brother is named after my uncle. Eerily so, that's not what made me feel emotive or moved... it was a "letter" he had written to his "nephews" ... and the things this letter spoke of just amazed me. How a child, barely six years old could leave such a lasting impression on a man his age THEN, still puzzles me... but in that moment it made me think of the future... and my sons or daughters... what lasting impression will I give them? What lasting impression will they give me, for as long as I can be with them, and for as long as I live? Will I be a good father to them? Will I be a good uncle to my nephews?... that's the many things I thought as I re-read the letter for the third time.

I have read it over 10 times now... and everytime it brings a tear to my eyes. sad

The other happy moment was here, in my own Journal... Lilithia, if you read this? You rock! whee heart ... it was a small gesture, I know, but I replied back on my last entry. 3nodding

And as for the third? It had to do with a rather weird incident. The most widely-read newspaper in the Island I live in asked for a "chashier" for the areas of "Dorado" and "Vega Alta" ... now, I work in Dorado, and although there were some people getting fired/suspended, the vacancy spots were filled already... so it was fate that my old high-school friend would come by to our store and ask me abou the job interviews to be made the next day. 3nodding

afaik, she's to go to work on the Vega Alta branch, and although it's not that far from where I work at, it's lovely to know she's to work with the company now whee heart I'm happy for her as well.

and that's about it... ^^; ja!
