I COME BACK TO YOU NOW... AT THE TURN OF THE TIDE

So as most of you know, a lot has happened since my last "post." I am now separated from my wife of 12+ years. I live alone in a small, cozy apartment not 5 minutes away from my ex and our 3 kids. I am still jobless, and that is beginning to reach critical mass as I will be through my unemployment very soon. Um....the Packers won the Super Bowl. The Dolphins didn't sniff the playoffs. The stuttering king movie won the Oscar even though Scott Pilgrim vs. The World was the best movie I saw in 2010. I have been to exactly one movie since October, and it was an Adam Sandler movie. But I have watched a ton of South Korean films on dvd & Netflix, as well as other foreign horror and action films.  Egypt had a revolution. Charlie Sheen is now a Martian rock star. I have gained 10 lbs. I finally have an HD TV and I can't figure out how I lived without it. I have also become a Blu Ray convert. I have read 3 books since moving out, and that's significant because it's 200% more books than I read in all of the previous year. My apartment is decorated like that of a 21 year-old geek with too much time on his hands. But I like it. I needed it this way in order to be comfortable while I nurse my wounds. I watch a lot of streaming Netflix and play a lot of X-Box. I finally reached level 50 in Call of Duty: Black Ops, but I am still awful against live opponents. I am seeing my therapist every week, going to anger management every week and also going to a divorce support group once a week. I have lost a few friends, but that's to be expected. I still have my children who I miss terribly. I get my girls every other weekend, and every Wednesday from 4pm - 8:30pm. I am learning to be self-sufficient again. Working on my problems. Redesigning and reinventing myself. A job is needed badly but I am still going to school. I turned 40 on February 23rd. 40, jobless, wifeless and alone. Fuck you, 2011! On that note, here's a chimpanzee riding on a Segway.
