a nothing day really...


Nothing really special about the day. I am fretting over a bench warrant I just found out I have. Eeesh... I have been trying so hard to stay out of trouble too. I got charged by the police for selling DVD's at a yard sale. Said DVD's were ones that I picked up in through a friend and was selling for him. Police came by and took DVD's and wrote me up a ticket charging me with Fraud saying I was selling pirated bootlegs. I lost the ticket but thought I went to court on the right day - my lawyer and I were there but nothing happened and my lawyer and I thought I dodged the bullet Police contacted me a few days ago and said I missed court and gave a different day then the one I was there for. My word against the police. They said turn myself in or be arrested. So either I find the long lost paper that exonerates me or I turn myself in and pray my lawyer can get me out.
Anyways - at the very least - my nerves are a bit frazzled over this. I recently spent some time in jail and have no wish to repeat the experience. One day while I am in a wistful mood I will recount the how's and what's and wherefores but not today...
I received an email from a close friend who I have recently reconnected with today and that made me feel a bit better. She and a friend of hers and her kids are away on a filming vacation.
My youngest son is away with his mom camping and I got to speak with him this morning and that made me feel great.
I am spending the week with my oldest son while housesitting for my ex-wife. We are having all sorts of fun and today he and his friend Aaron made supper for us. It was sort of a "Sloppy Joe". It was terribly tasty though. My eldest son Elijah is becoming an amazing artist and constantly blows me away how good he is becoming. I have to practice like crazy just to keep up and there are things he is miles ahead of me in. I am so incredibly proud of him that it makes my heart swell like its going to burst. He is 15 going on 45 and I have never met anyone quite like him before and I have met a great number of people in my time.
He is truly one of a kind and I would want it no other way. I know that the world is going to allow him great things and if the world does not allow it he will simply take what he deserves and he'll do it with a smart comment and a sly smile while he's at it.
