Many times in ways you couldn't have imagined? Yeah, that's not happening for me lately.<br />
<br />
I've been experiencing that feeling when something good, maybe even great, is right there and you can taste it. You can see how it will all work out and you may even lose control and let yourself get a little excited about the prospect. Then it ever so gracefully falls apart in front of you. So, you brush it off, remember all the good things and all the other opportunities and solutions there are, and you try again. And it feels so good and reassuring when another opportunity presents itself and you are flooded with hope anew! Then it falls apart and the opportunity show its true form as nothing of any value.<br />
<br />
Repeat this 3 or 4 times over the course of a few weeks and it may end up being a tiny bit difficult to "keep your head up" because "it will all work out".<br />
<br />
I am a talented, intelligent, good person that can offer SO much. My wife is even more talented and kind and has vastly more to offer than me. We are a good family that just keeps trying to do our best for ourselves and our kids. So why can we not catch a freakin' break, huh?<br />

Strangely, I am lacking almost all of the lifeforce-sucking anxiety and fear that usually accompanies such an event. I have a few leads on the go and pretty good ideas for keeping us off the streets but nothing concrete. Yet, I feel pretty good about the whole thing.<br />
<br />
Most of my day today has been spent thinking of ways to get the new Call of Duty game on the cheap.<br />
<br />
I don't really have a clue how all of this is going to work out in the end, but I know it is going to work out and we'll be ok, or better than ok actually, and I'm kind of excited to see how it all turns out. It's like our very own exciting dramatic movie that's made by Disney so you know it's going to have a happy ending.<br />
<br />
Except it can't be made by Disney because there has to be lots of steamy 'romance' scenes in this movie.

Nice. In case any of the thousands and thousands of my readers don't know, I strongly dislike winter. STRONGLY.<br />

Emotions are a double-edged sword. On one hand, life would be nothing without them. If there is no happiness there is no enjoyment and if there is no enjoyment of anything then what is the point, we're all just robots. So that sucks.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, emotions cause problems. Now at this point I could go on and on about the wars around the world and the endless negative effects emotions have on our world, but I'm really only concerned with myself. World, you're on your own right now.<br />
<br />
Currently, I am facing unemployment with no solid solution for that upcoming problem. Most of the time I feel alright with it because I know that I am skilled, I am a genuinely good person, and one way or another everything will work out. On top of that I am keenly aware that all this stuff we worry so much about and work so hard to keep (house, car, phones, TVs etc.) is just that, stuff. In the end I truly don't care about the stuff. The problem comes with the instability of emotions.<br />
<br />
I'm floating through my day doing what I can to find new leads and keep my head clear so that I don't drop any of the many balls in the air when suddenly, boom, I'm feeling depressed. Depressed and hopeless and hollow and sick to my stomach. I try reminding myself how I was feeling a few minutes ago and why I should be feeling good. I try going outside to get fresh air and see the world. I even try watching online comedy. No luck, still stuck.(awesome reference that my 5 year old would totally get)<br />
<br />
So, as much as I know that without emotions there is no humanity and no real life, sometimes I wish emotions would just piss off for awhile so I could figure some shit out.<br />
<br />
So, yeah, you might want to be careful when reading my posts for the next little while, they may very well be boring, depressing and downright annoying.Donovan Rogallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13367593526763171894noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19803015.post-69662785221300266962011-10-31T12:20:00.000-07:002011-10-31T12:20:26.118-07:00Alright, here it is for now...I looked through the basic templates and choices in Blogger and found that this was one of the least offensive combos that I could find in 3 minutes or less. No idea why there's a blurry guy with a camera in the background but at least the colors don't make me want to vomit.<br />
So, for now, this is it I guess.<br />
<br />
And the title blows a bit too, so I'll have to work on that.<br />

Of course this meant I had to comment and ask to be interviewed right away. I mean, c'mon, everyone else was doing it! Baaaa.<br /><br />So, <a href="http://www.whoorl.com/">Whoorl</a>, here's your answers:<br /><br /><strong>1. Bright blue or bright green?</strong><br /><strong> </strong>Bright? Really? Why anything would have to be bright blue or bright green I do not know. Cause unless it's a light, it need not be bright. Hey, that was good. That was like OJ aquittal type stuff.<br /><br />Anyway, if I had to choose, I would choose <strong>bright blue</strong>, because there is really no good place for bright green.<br /><br /><strong></strong><strong>2. What is the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?</strong><br /><strong> </strong>Usually I cuddle up to my wife and try to get a little somethin'-somethin'. And when that doesn't pan out I go downstairs and have a coffee because without coffee there is no day.<br />I love my coffee. I get excited the night before when I'm preparing the coffee maker and setting the timer because I know just how awesome it's going to be to wake up the next morning and not even have to wait for it to brew.<br />So after my coffee I'm not usually too upset about the failure of the first part of my morning.<br /><br /><strong>3. What is your favorite candy bar?</strong><br /><strong> </strong>First, do you seriously call them candy bars? That's a US thing, right? Like referring to pop as soda? So cool. It's straight out of a movie or something, and since I still hold on to the belief that life really can be just like a Hollywood movie, that kind of thing makes my world a better place.<br /><br />But to answer your question, Snickers. It's true what they say, it really satifies.<br /><br /><strong>4. What is your favorite childhood memory?</strong><br /> This is a tough one. See, I don't have a lot of memories. Seriously, ask my wife about this. I still believe it's some undiagnosed medical condition but it is almost impossible for me to have clear long-term memories. I don't forget things altogether but anything past 6 months starts to become blurry and much more general.<br />For instance, my family and I went to Germany for 4 weeks when I was in grade 12. Grade 12, not grade 2. I remember going and everything but I don't have any real 'pictures in my mind' from it or anything. It really sucks ass, because I want to remember things properly, I really want to. I just can't do it.<br /><br />So, as for childhood memory, let's say it was the time that my family and I went to the beach and spent the whole day playing in the water and eating ice cream together.<br /><br />We lived near a lake so I'm sure we must have done something like that at least once.<br /><br /><strong>5. Do you believe in past lives?</strong><br /> Nope. I'm a Christian man and that just does not fit in. Plus, I'm a scientific man, and to my brain, past lives doesn't even come close to making sense.<br /><br />Well everyone, I hope you enjoyed your little trip down my Too Much Information highway. Take a little something to help you sleep tonight, it'll help avoid the nightmares.<br /><br />If you would like to join in on the eau de chain-letter bonanza, follow these directions:<br /><br />1. Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”<br />2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. I get to pick the questions.<br />3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.<br />4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.<br />5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19803015.post-1847144325120574942007-03-27T13:57:00.000-07:002007-03-27T14:07:31.001-07:00Tuesdays with KaylaTuesday afternoon, I'm at work.<br /><br />Ring.Ring.<br /><br />"Hello?"

I am so sick of the weather around here. We had rain on the weekend as though God himself decided to remind us of just what He could do.<br />So, I think to myself, we're young, we're smart(well, Vicki's smart). We have the world at our feet, so why are we living somewhere we don't want to be, somewhere with weather like this? Let's pack up our shit and move to Southern California! Sure we wouldn't know a single person there, but the sunny weather would surely make up for that.<br /><br />As in turns out, you're not really allowed to just 'move to Southern California'. You need a working visa (mine works fine, it's just maxed out(hee hee)) and oh yeah, a job. And apparently it's not the cheapest place on earth to live either. Plus, the entire vision in my head of our life there is a complete fantasy since I only know what I've learned about it from the movies.<br /><br />So, I guess we'll stay put for now, it's sunny today anyway.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19803015.post-31980025450378577892007-02-22T11:50:00.000-08:002007-02-22T11:51:59.977-08:00Happy Birthday Vicki!It's Vicki's birthday today, so stop by her blog and leave her a comment!<br /><br />And it is also my Dad's birthday today too!

We got the shot, everyone looked good, and when we realized that the picture was going to be Exhibit #1 in the case for Child Welfare taking away our children, I refused to try to recreate that 'magic' with the jackets on, or everyone's jackets off, or whatever else it would've taken.<br /><br />So, there you have it, the true meaning of Christmas. Hiding the truth about how tough life really is and how much extra, unnecessary stress this season adds, with a 4x6 glossy Christmas card your family almost killed each other to make.<br /><br />Merry Christmas.<br /><br />Bring on the eggnog.<br /></p><p></p><center></center><center></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19803015.post-31267303857730207072006-12-14T06:43:00.000-08:002006-12-14T06:53:37.558-08:00I'm Calling ItBorrowing this phrase from my beautiful wife, her and I were talking while we were out Christmas shopping last night and I thought of something that I'll bet you will see in the next 5 years, so, I'm calling it now. It will be the next big self-indulgence for the rich people out there.<br /><br />The drug-induced coma.<br /><br />Stay with me here. I'm not a doctor and my knowledge on this amounts to simply imagining what it must be like, but it makes sense. It will be like the most restful vacation you could ever get. Instead of going to Fiji or something, people will go to the clinic and be put into a coma for a week or two. Think about it. How rested would you be if you could sleep for a week, literally! I would sign up in a second! That would rock.<br /><br />Yup, this is definitely going to be the next big thing.<br /><br />And I definitely need to get more sleep.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19803015.post-82506275804676820792006-11-26T20:00:00.000-08:002006-12-14T09:27:08.050-08:00Don't Get Your Hopes Up Kids"It doesn't ever snow here."<br /><br />Fast-Forward 20mins, it's snowing.<br /><br />"Alright, so sometimes it will snow, but it doesn't stick, it just makes the roads wet, like rain."<br />"There is almost no chance you will ever get to make a snowman here, sorry kids."<br /><br />Fast-Forward two hours, it's sticking.<br />Fast-Forward to the next day, today. We made a snowman.<br /><br />Thanks to Mother Nature's ironic sense of humor, I'm now a complete liar.<br /><br />Yup, that's about right.<br /><br /><strong><u>P.S.</u></strong> I love the first two pictures. They look so different, yet they were taken at the same time, one with flash and one without. Photography is cool. I should learn about it sometime. And check out how deep in the snow the stroller is, you can even see the wheels.<br /><div><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px 0 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: left" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2951/2417/320/489565/2006_11260012.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px 0 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: right" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2951/2417/320/652058/2006_11260013.jpg" border="0" /> <br /><div><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2951/2417/1600/460122/2006_11260017.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px 0 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: left" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2951/2417/320/462629/2006_11260017.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px 0 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: right" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2951/2417/320/153232/2006_11260024.jpg" border="0" /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2951/2417/1600/190645/2006_11260013.jpg"></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2951/2417/1600/460122/2006_11260017.jpg"></a><br /><center><embed pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://www.dropshots.com/dropshotsplayer.swf" width="320" height="310" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="url=http://www.dropshots.com/photos/199587/20061126/143610.flv&post=1"></embed><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:8;"><a href="http://www.dropshots.com/">Photo Sharing</a> - <a href="http://www.dropshots.com/">Upload Video</a> - <a href="http://www.dropshots.com/">Video Sharing</a> - <a href="http://www.dropshots.com/">Share Photos</a></span></center><br /><br /></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6
