A Wandering Spirit

I am 32 born and raised in the Seattle area. I am very much a DIY kind of person who knows how to do a lot of stuff, everything from cooking awesome food, to building a home, and everything artsy. I am a Leukemia survivor going on 10 years and have the scars to prove it. I have a lot to talk about but not sure how to say it. So If I offend you, well... there's always the un-follow button, cause life has taught me not to beat around the bush because you don't know when your time is up! Did I mention I love food... all food everything food. Food is greeeaattttt!!!

Hi tumblr, my last post was almost 2 years ago and so much shit has changed but one thing has not! I seriously have the best wife and 4 year old anyone could ask for (in the entire universe might I add) and yet I have this large family (myside of the fam) that literally wants no part of my life or my family’s and it just kills me! I swear the more I work on my life/mental health the further they disappear.. I guess I just wish things could be easier and for at least maybe 2 hours a year my family could show up be present and then retreat back into there holes that they live in! But honestly I think what’s really happening is that the universe is beginning to show me the path that I really need to be taking and maybe that’s why I’m having such a hard time. Ugh..

So many things I want to say about this election but... I have to remind myself that because I have chosen to listen, watch and read just about every damn thing that has gone on on both sides of this election, if I say something I'm probably just going to end up hurting your feelings not because I'm an a hole but because like my mom I have no filter and I tell it like is. Let's also add you have freedom in this country to vote for whoever you want and that is an amazing gift but before you chose to take offense and/or defend your presumptive nominee for POTUS I ask you do some research and don't only listen to what you want hear... And god sake think about someone other than yourself!

Bridget, Laney and I enjoyed our cross country drive to our new home of residence but... We along the way were harshly reminded how small minded America can be! And I have kept my mouth shut for most of it if not all the trip cause I didn't want to sound negative BUT DAMN!!! I see why trump is the nominee and I see why there is flat out hate on everyone that isn't white and Christian or military and then to top it all off I finally have a chance to get on Facebook (which I'm wondering if it shouldn't be called Hatebook) and check in to see what's going on in the world and see horrific tragedy, and worse see ppl saying "well Obama should've done something" or "we need more guns" or "well they were just gays so it's kind ok I guess" all this talk sadly makes me long for the days when ALL our children get the proper education they deserve so that this sort of life choice of hate doesn't happen anymore!

Today I had my last appointment...

8 years ago I started seeing a therapist cause I was in a very fucked up place in my head! I know that therapy doesn't work for all but man my life is in a place now that I could not have imagined it being and so happy. So here's to the next chapter in my life🍻 look out east coast here I come and I'm gonna live it up!

I need your advise Tumblr

Apple Music- do you like or do you not like? Been thinking about getting it but not sure I always listen to pandora, it's good but... I'm curious if Apple Music is better Thoughts?

On the other hand...

Today is my immune system's birthday! I'm 14 years post stem cell transplant 😊. And still cancer free! Yay

[awanderingspirit]

There is a sad truth to admit...

Today is May 2 and soon I will no longer live down the street from a really good Phö restaurant I'm pretty sure the closest one from where we are moving to is 30+ miles away so sad.... 😪😩

[awanderingspirit]

Late night very personal thoughts!

Sooo.... I don't always know what to say, I think I know what I want to say and mostly don't know how to say it! But two things I know for sure 1. I would live my shitty childhood and beat cancer over again if I knew that bridget would be my wife and have an amazing baby girl named Laney! So happy to be her dad! And 2. Knowing where I stand and always being on the right side of history... I'm proud that I support the rights of women and LBGT, the planet and everything else that goes along with it and that I'm not some mindless fuck filled with hate! When I die I know that I will have done it right and that makes me happy and no one can or will take that away from me;)

Enough about politics let's talk about something real!

Is it a sin that I have never seen the God Father movies ? It's not because I didn't want to it's just the opportunity never presented its self... Know that I think about it there is lots of movies I'm missing out on!

[awanderingspirit]

Sometimes one must treat him self... 😊

Ugh!!!

I know this will not be positive but!! There is something to said when I own a rather large Tahoe and encounter stupid drivers mixed with I literally have no f'ks to give! Don't blame me for the "I just pooped my pants a little" look on your face... Cheers
