I seem to be terrible at remembering that I have this blog-space outside of following the blogs of my friends. Good grief. So, where am I at these days?

Things with Laura/Lira/Eri are over and done with. Have been for almost two years, in fact. It's a long, rambling story, but I was kicked down, kicked while I was down, and was forced to claw my way back up to standing. Crawling hurts my knees, but my claws are now sharper because of the experience. Have had a couple of lovers between Lira and my current girlfriend, and I'm happy where I'm at. Still poly (that never changed), but committed to a wonderful woman who I'll be proud to call my fiancee in very short order. She understands and accepts me being poly, especially with the caveat that I don't pursue anything outside of our established relationship without her knowledge and consent. It's always a perk, too, if I can involve her in any of my adventures. ;)

Things with OfficeMax turned sour about that point, too. This would be the kicking me while I'm down part. I fell out of alignment with the corporate machine and was cast off. I'm resourceful, though, in my networking, and found another job in short order. I've been at that job, again in Loss Prevention/Security, for almost two years. Most days I enjoy it, but it certainly tests my patience from time to time.

I also achieved some bits of awesome along the way:
- Founded Kankakee's first ever LGBTA group.
- Finally earned my motorcycle endorsement.
- Reunited (more or less) with family out west
- Found my niche in creativity (leatherwork and photography)

And there's other things and people who keep my interest. ^_^;

Times is good.
