All that was left was the gurl huh?

So many places I've worked and lived at have closed or been knocked doon, I sometimes feel as if my past is being erased.

One army regiment I served in was merged and totally changed, the weapons I used replaced, the barracks I trained at closed its shite.

*raises glass and toasts southward*

Here's to the good times that you shared and the happier memories.

As for the woman in the pic, I'm suing.

She stole my trademark pose.

Ok, that angel is friggin hot.

I understand the feeling of lost past. Last time I was back in CA, I found out that many of the houses in our old neighborhood were gone. Now shiny new fucking condos sit on my memories.

I see my EX is still sitting like I left her 8 years ago.
Wait until she finds out I took the corkscrew with me.

Have a nice weekend

i went back to the site of my own personal purgatory and found all the trees cut down, the yard dead and bars over all the windows and doors.

someone finally got it right.

I visited the house where i grew up.IT'S STILL THERE!! A triple fronted red brick veneer, your typical bog standard war-service home of the sixties. The only thing different is that the bricks have beeen rendered and the front verandah has a pergola added.

Hang in there I.V. and lean on the one that are there and love you.

Suzanne said...

I have a big lump in my throat. You know that. Every day I go to the park and look out on chared blackness. I'm crying, but I know you understand. Where do I go with that? I don't know. I don't usually share this, but today I think you understand. What do you do with that Zack? I don't know? My heart goes out to you.

Queen Goob’s personal word for the day:
de•spond•ent - [di-spon-duh nt]–adjective feeling or showing profound hopelessness, dejection, discouragement, or gloom.

I’m right there with you so chin up, book of comebacks and shit-kickin’ phrases in pocket, and friends by your side.

Hugs,
Robyn

G'day again ...
It must have been quite a shock for you to arrive and find your old home gone/
I am sorry to read that your old house is no longer/
Cherish the memories after the hurt is over/

p.s. Sorry for not realising your despondency earlier.
