I have spent the last couple days in deep thought and a small bout of depression. I am about to go underway yet again and it just isn’t as easy as it was a year or two ago. When my first wife left me, going underway was easy and every time was a new experience. This one is a lot harder knowing that there is a one year old child involved in my life. Eli is just a little boy but I was gone for 2 straight days and he would not let me go when I got home from work today. From what Bevvy has said, he spent the last 2 days saying, “da-da” like he was asking where I was. It was sweet to know that he misses me and I sit here now with a beer in my hand and wonder what exactly goes through his mind when I am not there at night to play with him. I know it easy for Bevvy either but this is a new “adventure” so to speak for her. She told me last night that she promises not to cry when I leave but I know for a fact when I walk out of my front door tomorrow and leave her here for two months without me that she will break down and cry. I know this for a fact even though she tries to hide it. Ironically, she is my better half. She is the strong, silent type that will not really say what is on her mind and I am the loud, obnoxious one that will speak my mind no matter what it is. Most of you know this fact already and yeah you are probably thinking, ” well duh you are loud and obnoxious” and that’s okay with me.

As most of you are probably thinking and saying to yourselves, “well aren’t you worried about what she is going to do while you are gone?” and just so you know so it will set your mind at ease, is yes I still have those fears and I will always have those fears no matter how long it is that I am with someone because I just don’t know what goes on when I’m gone. I still have trust issues because of some of the choices that I have made but this one is different. I have known her for 3 years and yes that isn’t really a long time but i know her front to back and inside and out.

I’ll tell you a quick story. I went to Burger King one night to get food for me and the ex-girlfriend. I hadn’t seen Bevvy in about a year or so and when I walked in I immediately recognized her by the back of her head and her ass. Ask her about that night, she’ll tell you the same thing. It seems kinda funny to me that after about a year and a half of not seeing this woman, that one chance night of walking in to where she works and recognizing her by the back of her head and her ass tells you something. We still have our quirks and the things about us that we don’t see eye to eye on, but everybody has those with a significant other. We have looked past all of this because everyone of our friends and some of our family has seen the change in my character.

Ask anyone in my family how I am now compared to how I was in March and April. I was angry all of the time and I was happy as hell to stay at work late. Now, I want to come home early all of the time and all I want to do is spend time with her. These last couple days have been a major test of the stress level of what we can handle. I’m angry and cranky when I come home from work because  I have been there too long and I just want to come home and relax. I have fallen asleep on her so many times and she gets upset with me about it because I tell her that I want to do things that night and then I end up falling asleep. She gets mad at herself because she gets mad at me and then she feels bad. I tell her not to worry about it because the way she is feeling is natural.

I am a little better at hiding the way I feel and the way I handle my stress. Then again, I am loud and obnoxious so it makes it a lot easier for me. I can tell when she has something serious on her mind and when she isn’t feeling good or when she is upset about something. She’ll tell me she is fine but I know better. You can ask her about that too and she will tell you the same thing. She is my better half.

Well, this was supposed to be about me going underway tomorrow and feeling depressed but it seems to me that I have pretty much spilled what has been on my mind as of late. So tomorrow I leave for sea and those who know how to contact me please send me those emails that you know I love to see. I will keep in touch with as many people as I possibly can and write you as often as I can.

So as promised I added a few new things to the website. I made it easy for people to log on to the site now by adding a side bar log in window. Now if you have your own user name and password you can log in there instead of having to go the back way and all of that loading makes people impatient. You can even register from that bubble too. I know it works because I tried it myself because it shows up when I log in too, which I thought was totally awesome. So now that it is more fun to log in and be a part of my site, I thought I would share that you can also follow me now. If you look at the bottom of any post you will see a “Keep me updated” button. All you have to do is click on it and insert your email address and a password. Once that is done, hit the button that confirms you and close out the window. Check your email often because if you like being updated, an email will be sent to you saying that I have updated the site and things like that. I hope that you are having fun reading the posts and now that I have made it a little easier for you guys to do your thing, I hope to see you back more often.

Now on to new things. So Bev and I had guests over for dinner, which for me is like something brand new because I have never actually done that in my own house with my dinner table. The table I have has been used maybe 8 times since I got it when I got married. Now I have dinner and lunch at that table more often than I do at my couch. It’s really nice. So anyways, we had a few friends over and had spaghetti and meatballs and cheesy bread and biscuits. It was a really nice dinner and Bev is a really talented cook. I know that spaghetti and meatballs isn’t much but she can make some really good food. She has this Buffalo Lasagna that will just make your mouth water. I have had it once personally but I loved it when she made it. It has just the right kick and the right amount of spice. Well our friends came and ate and spent a little time with us just bullshitting at the dinner table. Now Bev and I are just relaxing here at home being happy and stuffed.
