  • A guest post by a friend of Sean’s

    From a high school friend…

    You’ve always amazed me with your sincerity. So serious. I’ve always said, don’t take life so seriously, because life certainly isn’t taking you seriously. Perhaps I’m misinterpreting, but it seems like Pat’s death is waking you up to that. Life is a roller coaster, so throw your hands up and scream.

    Good lord it’s fun having a Taoist bent on life, you get to talk in metaphors.

     

     

  • When you least expect it, hope has a way of smacking you in the face. Guest post from Pushmonkey: http://pushmonkey72.blogspot.com/

    I’ve made no secret about my feelings for my brother, I love him, and I hate him. see, he’s an alcoholic, not your binge’in weekend warrior type of alcoholic but the fullblown lying, stealing, going out of your way to ruin every person’s life you ever came into contact with kind of alcoholic. My hope for any change in my relationship with him and for his health in general had flickered to a pilot light many many years ago.
     
    he called me yesterday “just to talk.” i was floored. he hasn’t picked up the phone to “just talk” with me in 15 years. we talked for two hours. apparently, after 20+ years he finally hit rock bottom and actually checked himself into rehab. checked himself into rehab. i just have to keep repeating that because i still do not believe that it’s true. it’s not your run of the mill rehab either, this is the full blown six month commitment or don’t bother filling out the paperwork rehab and he did it himself, no pressure, no court order, just himself. he is going into his forth month now.
     
    no matter how bad it gets, not matter how much they have hurt you, no matter how little hope you keep telling yourself you have for them, when you care for someone you just have to keep having it. i have hope again.
     

  • Britney Spears by Waffles http://sirfwalgman.blogspot.com/

    We all have been following this story from the papa-rat-zi’s. Britney is basically drugged out and not a good influence for her kids.. we all chuckle as she shows her drunken beaver to the world.

     It is easy to get caught up in the whole hype and bullshit of the situation but I feel for her. I think it is because of this experience I had a few years back.

     I do not really think anyone can explain how hard it is to be seperated from your children for whatever reason. I have lived a life that has contained a ton of bad experiences, pain and saddness but nothing compared to being seperated from my children and not knowing when I was going to see them again.

     I think this experience gave me a great empathy for other people in this situation. So here is to hoping and praying that Britney can get her life together and be reuinited with her kids.

     I also wish Sean the best of luck in his situation and I want him to know I at least have a small idea of what he is going through. Keep strong man and trust that things will work out.

    We all love you or we would not read the crap you write every day.

     

     

  • Life’s Work

    Never bet with your heart…

    Never let anybody see how you are hurt, wearing your heart on your sleeve.

    Don’t do anything but support your conference during bowl season.  Yeah, we hate Oklahoma but when they are playing the Pac 10 or the Big 10, you hope that they kill em for the good of the conference.  It was one of many lessons I never learned fully.If it was up to me I’d want every Big 12 team, except Tech to lose every single game.  I hate em all with a nod to my dad’s Cornhuskers.

    Always support your family, no matter if they hurt you or disappoint you. Your family is all you have.

  • Twas the Tragedy before Christmas

    Thas the night before Christmas and all through the house,

    Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.

    My dog Mugsy laying in his basket with care.

    Hoping to grab any bones that I would drop near.

    With my self in my jammas, and noone quite near.

    It seemed that this Christmas would once not be so dear.

    But I looked to the left and I looked to the right,

    was about to settle down for a short winter night.

    But what to my wondering eyes would appear,

    But a e-mail from Shelby and Ryan

    written so dear.

    Their wishes for presents,

    for Santa to hear.

    How I wish, that I could hold them again this year.

    My eyes did glisten,

    the sides they did leak.

    For my children were thinking of me

    for the many time this young week.

    Then as I looked to the bed, and an early nights rest,

    but then I was startled by an IM request.

    My friends had hit money and wanted me to rail,

    On Surflexus and Katitude were the words I did wail.

    But I did wonder,

    as I was to turn down the lights.

    Was I blessed to be alone

    in my own Lubbock home?

    But as I did ask, the texts I did recieve,

    for me to enjoy, this wonderful Christmas Eve.

    So as I turn the computer to standby,

    and I turn off the light.

    Merry Christmas to all,

    and to all a good night.

     

    May your hearts be filled with joy this holiday season.  May your gifts be plentiful, may your love be overflowing, may the fights be few and the miracles ever growing.  May hatchets be buried, may your troubles be few and may your life be furfilled with friends. 

    As I remember the miracles of the things I thought I would never be able to do. 

    I remember that you, were right beside me too. 

    May your wishes of Christmas, Haunakah, Kwanzah and any other holiday come true.

    From my family to yours, Merry Christmas.

    Love to my family, Luck to my friends and Lollipops to my kiddos.  I will see you soon.

    Sean A. Donahue
