I hope all of 2007 isn't like this

Firstly, Happy New Year to everyone, I hope you had a good one full of fun, booze, and sex (2 out of 3 here). It seems like a lifetime since I have been on here due to the events of the past week or so, which I will now (hopefully) get down in writing.

The Good: New Years itself was pretty rockin’ for me and mine. I left work early on Friday, and at some point during the day was called to be told that we had Tuesday off due to a day of mourning for president Ford, so I had a good long weekend ahead of me. I had to work Friday night until close, which was ok, as it put a little cashy-money in my pocket. I got the boys from Ami on Saturday, which went well, as I did oversleep a bit (the snooze button gets me in trouble all of the time) but made up for it by giving her a little extra money for gas because she came farther than the halfway point to meet me. I took the boys to my parents’ house, where we all ate like kings and had loads of fun playing. My brother Blee and his girl Moto were there, and my other brother Jonathan and his girl Kat showed up as well. Our New Years party started that Saturday evening, with a gathering at Harley’s Tavern VI ( http://www.tavernvi.com ). There was much alcohol consumed, as well as lots of pasta, ribs, and wings. I went to bed about 4:30 am only because I had to get up several hours later to drive back to Warner Robins to work a shift (we had to pick one holiday of three that we were required to work). I had one table (11 top, made $32 with little effort) and wandered around town in the seriously yucky rain for several more hours afterwards. Went back to the parents’, taking it really easy. There were significantly fewer of us at the Tavern that night, though my best friend Matt was able to show up. We had a few beers, missed midnight due to intense conversations, and watched the Family Guy movie, going to bed around 2 am.

Wow, this is starting to look like a LiveJournal *spit* entry. I guess I have a need to get this stuff out.

The actual New Years Day was good too. We had our traditional meal, including black-eyed peas for good luck, turnip greens and spinach for money, and fresh cornbread (just because it’s so damn good). Watched the Gator Bowl, which was a good game even though GT lost. I was able to go out and see my friend Melissa who I have not seen in at least half a year, which was nice, and ended the evening with some other old friends in Columbus.

Three weeks from today I get to make a very special trip that I am really really looking forward to, my late xmas/birthday (Jan 30th) present to myself.

That concludes the good part of it all, I think.

The Bad: I got up Tuesday and got the boys and their stuff together. I could not reach Ami on her cell phone (it was out of minutes) so I just headed for home to try and find another number that would get to her. Zachary got really sick in the car on the way back, which sucked, as I hate to see either one of them like that. I got in touch with Ami, and we argued about money like we always do. We also fought about when she could get the boys, as I wanted a few hours to myself to recuperate from the weekend before returning to work three long days in a row. She finally relented when I said I would just bring them to the house she is staying in now, saying she would meet me halfway in 2 hours (giving her an hour to unload her van before she had to head out to the rendezvous. When we met, we fought about money again, and she turned to leave in the middle of the argument (looking back on it, this was smart on her part, but at the time it pissed me off to no end).

This next part is what makes The Bad really The Bad.

She got into her van and was closing the door, which I ended up catching with my hand. The catching of the door caused part of it to bend out away from the van a bit, something I didn’t see until later. I reached in and took her van keys, going back to my car with them. She got out and we argued more, then at one point I drove off with her keys (a cusp decision
