https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/2ndChanceForLife/This is my road back to recovery. These are the steps I'm taking to get my life back on track. This is the life of a young american soldier who has lost everything that meant anything... more than once. The first step... giving life a second chance.hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/2ndChanceForLife/517606I finally got cleared to start training again. Heading back into the course monday morning at 4:30 AM. It's well overdue.https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/2ndChanceForLife/517336So... I bought a PS3 over christmas break. Wow, it's amazing. But... I beat the games in like 2 or 3 days. At this rate they'll never make games fast enough to keep me occupied. Maybe because I've become a hermit and just hung out in my room. Blah.https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/2ndChanceForLife/517088She said something to me that shocked me... especially coming from her. In her opinion we fight sometimes to remind ourselves we care. Does that make sense to any of you? It does in a way to me... it's just scary. I've never looked at it that way and really hope it's not true. We fight enough as it is... we don't need any extra fights just to spark emotion. Hmmmhttps://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/2ndChanceForLife/516952I've been on blogit for about 5 minutes now and noticed a lot of new people popping up. That's good to see. You can do so many things with blogit. In my case... VENT! LoL. Well luckily, I must say, I have had little to vent about. For the most part I am happy... couldn't ask for more. How has everyone been? Any crazy news? Any New Years resolutions going well... or sour? Hope all is well. I'll check back.https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/2ndChanceForLife/516720So... I'm up in northern VA this weekend visiting my girlfriend. She's at work today and I head back tonight. While I was updating her Ipod I randomly thought about blogit and figured I'd show up and say hello to everyone. Doubt I'll be back writing anytime soon... but who knows. Take care!https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/2ndChanceForLife/510871So... I just finished up my christmas shopping. Definitely last minute but oh well. I think I'm going to head to my brother's to give him and my nephew their presents. That should be fun. I love seeing little kids tear into the wrapping paper.:) Speaking of which... time to go wrap all this stuff. Just wanted to wish everyone merry christmas if I don't get to write much over the next few days. Stay safe.https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/2ndChanceForLife/510609Since my niece is going to be doing christmas with her Mom and my brother xmas eve and xmas day, Dad decided we'd do her christmas when she got up this morning. I do believe the girl has more toys than any child I've seen... already. And she got MORE! Not just little stuff. Big kitchen sets, toy sets, clothes, a shopping cart (kid style), just endless... TOYS! And Dad wonders why she never wants to go home. WHY SHOULD SHE? Dad and I got into a bit of a heated discussion last night over the...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/2ndChanceForLife/510524Her Mom was supposed to come pick her up tonight but I guess that wasn't a priority. Yet again, Dad wins. He gets to keep her longer. At least I got to play with her a lot tonight. She got to open a few presents too. Here's some videos. Playing Chase... Lights Out!...

Reading Dorahttps://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/2ndChanceForLife/510451https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/2ndChanceForLife/510398Got up nice and early to get the firepit done. Just wanted to say I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Be safe... and don't do anything I wouldn't do...
