    Broken Bones

    A crooked path I walk alone. Mud from the rain, road of broken stones. My feet sore and swollen, my back hurts, skin is torn. My heart is broken and lost along the way, carelessly cut out with a dull blade. The eyes around me stare and judge this soul, making me suffer by myself in the cold. This world I’ll kill away and grow in to the person I’m meant to be someday. That day may never come to be, as I lay here on the stone path and bleed. Forever alone on these stones, just me and my broken bones.

    The past is who i am today.

    It was almost 5 years ago that I worked at the mall selling phones for a shady company who we’ll not name. Across the way there was a girl who worked there by the name of Melissa. She worked there selling jewelry. She would always talk to my co-workers and only make eye contact with me. I didn’t know if she was too shy or if she just wasn’t diggin me.

    So finally one day frustrated with her ignoring me I walked up to her and ask her how she was and why she didn’t say hi to me. She kind of blushed and said nerviously “HI!”. I told her I thought she was cute and asked her if she was going to give me her number or what. She was shocked by my bluntness and says “Sure?!”

    So we talked for a while and went on a couple of dates. Then one night in January around 1 am i asked her if she wanted to be a couple. She said she’d love too and that was the start of a great relationship. It went on for almost 5 years and involved a engagement.

    Unfortunately sometimes people grow apart. We had our ups and downs but normally recovered quickly. Well the time pass and the less we connected and the harder it was to recover from fights. But when it ended something new was born.

    A new relationship was created from the old, a great friendship. Most couples that split let the whole thing die out which is sad. Why? You loved each other and now nothing? We care very much about each other and it is hard to not to be together but sometimes it’s just what you have to do to be truly happy.

    I have to say that I am happy for the 5 years we had and I am saddend by the end of it, but we are both still pretty young and have time to have some fun. As my father once told me “If you truely love something, then let it go and if it’s ment to be then it’ll come back to you.”

    Quick update

    So I know I haven’t really posted anything on my site lately. I have been busy working on some back end coding for a new project I’m working on. I actually have 2 major sites that will be coming out at the end of this year if all goes well.

    Make sure to keep an eye out for updates on it.

    Broken ankle update!

    So you saw the x-rays but now it’s time to scars. I went to the doctors this morning to get a check up on my ankle. They took more x rays, and then took me into the room and took off my cast and made me move my ankle around which did not feel great.

    He then with out saying a word other then “Turn you leg to the side” began to pull out my staples which I would have to say felt wonderful…… If watching someone get torchered turns your dials that is. Then the stitches came and that felt great too! I actually laughed a little in agony.

    After that it was on to putting the hard cast on. They didn’t bother washing my nasty leg which hasn’t seen water in over a month, just put some iodine on my cuts and then wrapped it. As they when to put the cast on the doctor grabs my big toe and just starts yanking it to where he wants my leg and doesn’t bother telling me where he wants my leg.  They then don’t tell me why but they start pushing up on my toes making my foot lean into my shin which starts making my bones hurt. Finally after I kinda of gasp from the pain they are both like “Does that hurt?” lol I’m like no shit ya think? They are like you have to put your foot up so when we wrap it, it’s not pointing down which will make you uncomfortable. So I just sit there not saying anything letting them jerk my leg around.

    All the while I have been telling them about my job and how I test software for them and that 90% of their clients are in the porn industry. Like two little teenagers they act like they’ve never heard anything else this interesting before. They are asking a million questions like it’s so exciting. 

    So after $50.00 bucks getting to the doc and then to work at least I have some cool pics for it. But be warned because they are kinda nasty so if you got a weak stomach you might want to forget scrolling down.

If you notice any issues please let me know right away. Thank you.

    Why trying to go back to skateboarding after 9 years is a bad idea!

    So I used to skate in middle school and high school, I wasn’t pro or anything but I got by with a few tricks back then. Well my buddy Derek started skateboarding and between him telling me to start and me remember how it used to be fun I thought it would be a great idea to buy a new board and go for it.

    Well a $140.00 bucks and a hour later I was holding my new board on a fine Friday night. Feeling good I started off and wasn’t to long before I got most of my balance back. I skated with D for a while and soon remembered what a workout it was. My feet hurt and I was short of breath but it was still fun. We hit up the skate park and I managed to fall on my ass twice in a row, not taking this as a early hint I decided I was done for the night but I would be back. We skated home and ended up parting that weekend.

    So Sunday comes rolling around and I’m a little hung over from drinking, but I’m not going to let that keep me locked up in the house. I promised D we would go boarding today and so I got up and we headed out. Across the street and behind the buildings we find a nice parking lot. I am starting to enjoy myself even though it’s super hot.

    I find a sign near a sidewalk that I can hold on to get keep my balance when trying to get my olies down. I land a couple and feel pretty good. I skate around and then I see D riding off the sidewalk curb, this isn’t your average curb it’s about 3 or 4 inches higher. I get the thought that I want to try it, and so I go for it. The first time I go and don’t go fast enough so I lose my board and almost biff it. D tells me that I should go faster and that way I will avoid hitting the curb.

    With a kick and a zoom off the curb I fly……    SNAP! Pain shoots through my right ankle and I sickness in my gut. To many thoughts to process but the main one comes through as I look down at my foot which is pointed in a direction not meant to be. Instantly I know I broke my ankle. I scream in pain and curse with anger that I did this to myself. My friend D was right there my side freaking out and trying everything he can to comfort me. That heat of the asphalt burns my arms as I attempt to find a position to stop the pain. I look down and pull my pants up a little to see that I now have a bulge protruding out of my ankle which confirms that I broke my ankle.

    I start to laugh as I try to figure out if this is real or just a messed up dream. I run short on breath and try to cry but I more whine than anything. Then I come to and yell in anger again. Like a bad drug trip I fade in and out trying to gain control. I have D call my lady and she picks us up. I get to the ER where I sit in a wheel chair for over a hour and a half trying to keep my ankle from moving. Begging for aspirin the nurses behind the counter constantly tell me no as if they love seeing me suffer. D runs to the store and gets me some ibuprofen and brings it back just for me to let him know I can’t take it. I ask for a soda and we only have a 5 dollar bill, so she ask the nurse for change and they say I can’t have anything to drink. Are you serious? You’ve got to be joking me a yell so they can hear me. Just a thought before but now I’m really starting to thing they have it out for me. I tell them either I get them to give me some pain meds or I’m taking the ibuprofen. They finally let me take some and it helps to take the tip off the knife or I should say the thousand blade samurai swords that have entered my leg.

    I start to get weak so I know I’m in need of some sugar to get my energy up so finally they tell me I can have a soda, so I sneak  a snickers in as well. Having no clue why they would keep me from this stuff I find out later exactly why. Let’s just say in my drug coma I get dizzy and throw it all right back up. I managed to miss the pan for the most part and covered my bed so they ended up having to change all the blankets and sheets lol.

    So anyways that’s pretty much my story, my leg constantly throbs now but it’s getting better. I have some nice hardware in my leg now. I attached some pictures below.
