My Friend Across The Miles

My Friend Across The Miles

However we jump

We can't touch the sky

Sky never reaches the sea

Sea never reaches the sky

Like the sky and the sea

However we try to get closer

You're miles away from me

I am miles away from you

Moon and the sun

Can't shine together

Star and the sun

Can't glitter together

Earth never reaches the sky

The sky never reaches the earth

Like the earth and the sky

However we try

You never get closer to me

I never get closer to you,

We two are similar to

Two parallel railway lines

Which never meet together.

Long time no post

Sorry it's been a while since my last post it's been crazy around here. Brandon brought my girls to see me but then had a temper tantrum last night & drug the girls out at midnight to take them back to Bama :(

Life Lessons: Trust

Life is full of disappointments. I really need to make it a life policy to not get my hopes up about anything, ever. Period. That way, when it doesn't work out the way I hope, I can't be disappointed. Well, that's easier said then done, huh?

I made it a life policy long ago to never regret anything I do, because it's exactly what I wanted regardless of how it turns out. I also made it a life policy to take at least one lesson from each mistake I make along the way.

Right now, I'm a little bummed over some information I just happened to stumble upon thanks to Facebook for Blackberry. Before I reveal what that is, let me give you guys just a little bit of back story.

Up until recently, I was employed as an Assistant Manager at a gas station. I began working at a store maybe 5 minutes from my house in July 2009. In October 2009, I was transferred to a store about 25 minutes away in Bristol. There was this guy, we'll call him Jack, that came in on a regular basis. He was a fleet customer and always got diesel. Well, I always thought Jack was kinda cute and he was always real sweet. He'd tell me every time he came in "I came just to see you." A little cheesy, I know, but I fell for it. I finally worked up the nerve to give him my cell phone number in January, and he text me that very night. We've text, talked and hung out here and there ever since then. But, it's always been a bit hot and cold. He always explained it away as being so busy with work. Although I was a little skeptical, I brushed my pessimism aside because I really liked Jack and I wanted to see where things could end up.

As I previously mentioned, I stumbled upon some information thanks to Facebook for Blackberry. I was on Facebook just a while ago, and I was in the search for friends area. Well, since I have the Facebook app installed on my Blackberry and it's synced with my Facebook account, you can search for people based on their mobile phone number. So, I hit the button to see which of my phone contacts were on Facebook that I had not added yet and guess who pops up? Yup, you guessed it...Jack! So, I click on his name to view his profile, and that's when I discover that he is MARRIED!

What the f*ck? Are you serious? Yes, yes I am.

I don't know whether I want to laugh or cry. It just figures with my luck that this would be the case. This explains a lot, but at the same time it just makes me feel bad, dirty, wrong....oh I could go on an on. I know I could be jumping to conclusions. He could be seperated from his wife. But even so, if you're seperated from your spouse...are you going to list your marital status as married? No, you're going to list your marital status as seperated or single. Even so, he never ever mentioned anything to me about having a wife or being married. Ever. So, he was obviously trying to hide that fact.

Ugh, men! Or in this case, should I say boys?

So, what's the lesson I can take with me from this mistake? Maybe his hot/cold behavior should have had me more on guard. (Actually, it did. But, Richard told me to stop being so pessimistic.) Maybe I should always look up potential dates on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc. and scope out their profiles for anything they could be trying to hide. Bottom line? I need to stop being so trusting. Not just when it comes to men, but in my life in general.

Dear Civilian Girl Poem

Dear civilian girl,

You complain that your boyfriend has worked late all week and have barely seen him.
-I look forward to the two weeks a year we spend together.

You complain because he doesn't call you enough.
-My heart is thankful for the 15 second phone call I got last Tuesday in the middle of the night!

You whine to your friends about how much you miss him already because he is on a two day trip with his parents.
-I won't see him for another 10 months!

You don't feel like making love tonight because you are too tired.
-We will stay up all night because we don't know when it will be the last time.

Your boyfriend belongs to you.
-Mine belongs to the government.

Your boyfriend is training for his game next weekend.
-My boyfriend is trained to kill.

It's just not practical for you to drive an hour to see him every weekend during school.
-He spends $700 dollars on a plane ticket just to see me 2 days!

You hate hanging up the phone when talking to him.
-My heart breaks because I won't talk to him for another 10 days.

You complain that he doesn't take enough time out of his life for you.
-My man has to get up in the middle of the night to talk with me because of the time difference. He doesn't complain.

Your man is in a bad mood from not sleeping much this week.
-My man ran 10 miles this morning at 4 in the morning and has a full day of
work ahead of him. He's lucky if he gets a few hours of sleep!

Your boyfriend can call in sick when he is tired or not feeling well.
-My man works no matter what!

You don't trust him so you follow him places to see if he is telling the truth.
-I have no choice but to trust him and even then I trust him with my life.

You don't like him talking so sexually with his friends.
-My boyfriend has to chant it in drills.

You check your phone, see you missed a call from him, and decide to call him back when you aren't so busy.
-I see a missed a call and cry, because I don't know when he can call again.

You might save a cute voice message from him.
-I save them all b/c it helps me to remember what his voice sounds like.

Being apart for a month to you seems daunting.
-A month apart for me is a wish that can't come true.

You wouldn't change schools to be close to him.
-I have to move to another country to be with him.

You have every part of him memorized.
-I study pictures so I don't forget what he looks like.

You take your time together for granted.
-We don't!

Your cell phone bill was high this month from talking too much.
-He pays $2 a minute to call me… when he CAN call.

You love that fancy necklace he bought you
-I refuse to take his dog tags off, and not a day goes by that I don't have them on...

You say you miss him.
-Times that by 100.

Life, Love, & Soldiers

** cherish every moment, live life to the fullest, never take someone for granted, treat everyone the way you want to be treated, have fun and live, you never know what is coming with life's next turn **

*Never be afraid to open your heart and let love in, if you don't you could miss out on true love and true happiness*

My heart, my mind, my life, my love all belong to my soldier, he is my everything, I owe every ounce of true happiness I have experienced to him. Because of him I know true love, the purest of love second to love for a child.


Just a few random thoughts from me :)

My Intro

I'm Noelle. I'm 26 years old and I live in Kingsport, TN (Just 2 hrs. from Anna, yay!). I'm single and enjoy being fun and flirty *lol* I have 1 godson , DJ who's 8 (Anna's son) and 4 nieces and 3 nephews that I have gained from my "adopted" big bro's, Mike and Richard. Mike's kids are Makayla-7, Gavin-6, Mya-3 and Meadow-2 (aka Nae Nae). Richard's kids are Melodie-7, Zack-5 and Bryson-3 (aka BB). Mike, his wife and his kids currently live with me, so you will probably hear me talk about them a lot. And even though Richard, his wife and kids live in South Carolina you will hear some about them too.

I'm currently trying to begin the Pharmacy Tech program on June 1st and searching for another job. Like Anna, I love Tinkerbell, the color pink and Starbucks Frappaccinos. I'm sure you'll get to know more about both of us as this blog grows :o)

Randomness

So I guess I should start by introducing myself my name is Anna, I'm a crazy 24 year old who is divorced from my daughters' father Brandon, whom I may occasionally speak of, but in love with one of my best friends from years ago, Patrick who is a soldier in the US Army & currently deployed. I am a mother of 4 children, 1 boy, DJ who is 8, and 3 girls, Lily 3, Cilia 2, Chloe 1. I recently moved from Birmingham, Alabama to Princeton, West Virginia, my 3 girls stayed with their dad in Bama and my son is here with me in WV. I like living here a lot better than Alabama even though it is really back woods compared to Bham. I am a Customer Service Associate at Wireless Cellutions a locally owned Sprint store, and I love my job. I LOVE Tinkerbell, the color pink, Starbucks Mocha Frappaccinos and lots of other things So yeah I guess that's about it.


Props to Noelle for the AWESOME Blog!!!!
