Wrapping up January

It's funny because I was telling everyone how fast 2005 went. By the time I was done, the first month of 06 is already gone. It is amazing how fast time can go. I am sure that one of the biggest reasons time seems to move so swift is that we are always on the go and looking forward to the next event.

Our trip to Daytona was a lot of fun. My friend Johnny has an amazing home in Port Orange and he let us crash there. As usual it was a lot of fun seeing my old friends and catching up. I really miss the guys that I used to see on a regular basis when we were playing ball. When we get together, nothing but laughter and obnoxiousness ensue. I have some pics up from the weekend on my site.

We continue to have exciting things in the mix. My family has decided to come up for the weekend of Feb 11th and it looks like they'll be here for the whole weekend. It is always a good time when they are around as we laugh and party together.

Angie has been making some awesome stuff in the kitchen. I've started the Atkins Carb Restriction diet and she is a blessing in helping me with the meals. I can't imagine my life without her at this point. We are doing excellent.

She just made beef jerky yesterday. It is delicious!

Miss the Keys Already

Wow what a vacation. It is amazing to me that no matter what we do; Angie and I always have the best time. We just spent 4 days in the keys and had the time of our lives. It was one of our best trips yet. I have put up the pictures on my picture page. The weather was very good the whole time and we did everything we wanted to while there. The Keys truly are a special place and we managed to escape any hangovers or bike accidents so all is well.

 

And just as soon as one trip is over, we are already planning our trip to California. I’ve wanted to the see the Pacific for as long as I can remember, and I have heard nothing but awesome things from my friends about San Diego. We are going to hit up the San Diego Zoo and some other things. Life is great!

Missin Her Monday

Angie is in Jacksonville and I miss the hell out of her. She had to go up
there to do some of her school work and visit with the fam but I hate
being without her. We have such a good time together and there are so many
laughs. Oh well, she'll be back tomorrow evening.

We had a great weekend together again. Acutally they are always great. We
went to a new club on Saturday night with a few friends and had a good
time. The rest of the weekend we watched movies and relaxed. We sat out by
the fire and also sat inside by our indoor fireplace. All in all we had a
great 3 days together.

In just 2 more sleeps we are on vacation again. This time we are headed to
the keys for a full 4 days. I can't wait to go. We'll be taking videos and
pictures galore.

After that we will be preparing for our California trip in February. Then
in March we have a few things going on. Our friends always comment on how
busy we are and how active things are but that is the way we like it. You
only live once and we aren't about to confine ourselves to the house even
though we love where we live.

Minus 2

Such a small amount, but I’ve lost 2 pounds. I’m still doing good on the eating plan and it is 100% thanks to Angie. She’s all over me about calories and what is a good choice for lunch, etc. I really appreciate her patience with me as I can turn into an instant 5 year old when she tells me no.

 

In other news, we leave for the keys in basically one week! This is a trip we decided to do back in December as something nice for her birthday. We are going with my step-brother Eric and his wife Lisa. Her birthday is on January 16^th, just 3 days before Angie’s. We’ll be down there for almost a full 4 days. We are all super excited about it. We are sharing a bed n breakfast and renting bikes for our primary mode of transportation.

 

I’ll be sure to take some amazing pictures as the Keys are one of the prettiest places you can go in Florida.

Arctic

I don’t know how in the hell it gets so cold, but it’s freezing here. As I type this I’m sitting in Central Florida under a freeze warning. I’d hate to be up north right now. There is no way I could live anywhere but here except maybe the islands or something.

 

Life is excellent right now. Angie and I had a great thing happen to us recently. I will save my fingers the typing and just link you to a post about the event. Please read http://www.ogrforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=7863 that link to learn more about what looks to be our new home for a while. We are extremely excited about the opportunity to live in such a place.

 

In site news, I finally got a message board! The link is in my signature. In just over 24 hours, the forum is out of control. I really wanted a place that was my own for my friends and acquaintances to hang out and trade information. I also wanted a place that my close friends could make fun of me and I could return the favor. I warn anyone reading this that the board is not for the faint of heart or those with high morals. This is the Internet and the land of free speech. I am not censoring my message board as like most things, I prefer to remain as real as possible. I can’t wait to see the board grow. Hell it also gives me something to do at work during downtime.

 

The record sale is going awesome. The records are drawing just the kind of attention I wished. I can’t wait for them all to be gone and then I can begin the process of making cds to dj with. I will then sell the turntables and get some very high end cd decks. It will literally free up my studio and allow me to shrink my space and bring Angie’s stuff into here. We want to be as close as possible all the time.

 

She is going wonderful. For the first time in 27 years I truly believe that I now have a mature and healthy relationship. The kind of compatibility and friendship we have at the simplest levels is something I have never experienced. I am very thankful for her and what she has done for me (and continues to do). She, without a doubt, is the single best thing that has happened to me in a very, very long time.

 

So I’m going to continue ripping these records onto my hard drive and flame the fire. The heat in the house is on but there is still cold air in here.

2006

It is really incredible that 2006 is here. I can’t believe how fast 05 went. The amazing thing about time is that you really never get it back. I will never be able to go back to 2005 unless it is just through memory. In the end it ended up being a really great year for me. I finally moved away from Fort Myers, met the girl I plan on staying with, and did a lot of soul searching to figure out just what direction I would like to move forward with.

 

This year I plan on doing a full cd of original music, making a career move and getting the hell back in shape. I’ve been out of shape for almost 4 years now, and I’ve had enough. Angie is going to be a huge help as she is very supportive and patient with me. I am so lucky to have someone so wonderful in my life.

 

Our new years celebration was really fun. Eric and Lisa came up for Fort Myers and we all went to Epcot at Disney World. Pictures can be found at http://www.djlucas.us/pictures.html

Once there, click on “Vacations and Trips, and the first album will be “New Years 2006”.
