I just feel like venting right now. I can't believe that my relationship is ending the way that it is. I've been trying to be understanding, but frankly, it's all frustrating. I am attempting to be the good guy and making things as easy as possible, but there is something in the back of my head telling me to revert to how I use to treat things (before I met her). I love her, but after this latest stunt, I'm afraid that there is nothing left for us. She made that decision, but I believe that I am the one that may have to cement it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now I'm all alone, and I feel like I need to get back out there and meet some more new people. Not sure if I said this before or not, but I have some of the best neighbors! They've been helping me cope with this rough transition. I cannot ask for much more than that. I still have this void that I feel like I may need fill soon. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just want to send my condolences to the family of a close friend of mine. RIP Kei', I know the whole process of Chemo and Radiation was hard on you, just know that there is no more pain. I am still wearing the rubberband that you gave to me (Preventable, Treatable, Beatable!). You will definitely be missed. Thanks for the talks! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you've made it this far, I would like to thank you then. I didn't realize that people actually came here lol. I would like to hear from you if you do!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess I don't have enough time to go off and completely vent, I still have to do my job. I'll update this once I get a chance to&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2473326089557264286-1899780294605996976?l=geeowens.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://geeowens.blogspot.com/feeds/1899780294605996976/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2473326089557264286&amp;postID=1899780294605996976' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2473326089557264286/posts/default/1899780294605996976'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2473326089557264286/posts/default/1899780294605996976'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://geeowens.blogspot.com/2010/02/gotta-vent.html' title='Gotta Vent'/><author><name>Greg.Owens 2</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07130711196330894867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2473326089557264286.post-8830692110180645204</id><published>2010-02-09T22:22:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-09T22:31:38.850-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The 1st in a while</title><content type='html'>Wow, my 1st blog entry in almost a year and a half. Man has a lot changed in my life. I have my own place (in Uptown), I've begun the process of starting my own business, and everything is still going well at TCF Bank. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feelin kind of alone: I have a couple of amazing neighbors, who also happen to be my friends. I've had family over at the new spot, and a few other friends, but I still feel kinda alone. I hate feelin this way. I need to go out and meet some new people. My girl decided she wanted to end or relationship while I was in the process of moving, so that definitely does not make the transition much better. I do however, have a goal to reach, and am staying motivating to meet that goal. Nothing is going to detract me from this, so I'm gonna just keep my chin up and keep it movin'. After all, I have to maintain this mindset if this world is gonna be mine lol : ) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to try my best to keep this thing updated. I am going to be back on here tomorrow with more thoughts. It's time for bed now!

I'm still pretty lost for words, but I will definitely try to put something in my blog. When my dad was growing up, before he met his father within the last 10 years or so, Uncle Bobby was one of his few "Father Figures".  I remember how when he lived in Alabama, Unc would have him and my Uncle Larry chopping wood and working out in the yard all day long. Evertime we'd go to visit him and Aunt Dorris, they'd tell us all of the stories of when they were growing up. Just want to say that I miss you already.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hey everyone.....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yeah so..... Oh yeah, Quantum of Solace sucks. In My Opinion, Marc Forster has screwed up a great series. Where past Bonds have been very big on Personality, that aspect of the movie has pretty much been taken out. While Daniel Craig did a fairly good job, the way he was asked to depict the character was foolish.  I miss the Bonds of old that preformed Steven Segal-esque moves and took out whole herds of unNamed enemies. The type of battles that Captain Kirk proud. If you like this new style of bond, be my guest and see it. Otherwise I wouldn't recommend this movie.... kthnxbai...&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yeah so about a week and some odd days ago, I went and bought a 16 GB SanDisk Micro-Memory Card... I've put about 9-10 TV Shows on there (Scrubs and the Simpsons), which I think is the greatest thing ever. For the last several days though, I've been trying to put movies on it. Because the files were so big, it'd take an hour or 2 for the videos to be converted and added to my phone. Then, when I finally got the files onto my phone, I'd get an error that states that the files are uncompatible. Pissed that this was happening, I looked at some sites that I normally view for BB tips and loaded a program called DVD Catalyst 360 that works!! So I now have some movies on my Blackberry!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oh Yeah: Flea Market Montgomery:::&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; white-space: pre; "&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FJ3oHpup-pk&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FJ3oHpup-pk&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Its just like, Its just like.

I'll have screenshots up of it then...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Umm....

Just as my title suggests, change is coming. Not just with the status of our country, but with myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I met my uncle for the 1st time. I did not meet my Dad's father's family until about 8 years ago. At that time I met my Grandfather, his wife, and 2 of my Uncles. A couple of years later, I met another one of my Uncles at the family reunion in Akron, OH. Finally I met the eldest brother this past weekened. It's funny how much him and my Dad look alike. He's a really nice guy, a big Wine Buff... We were in Surdyk's (Liquor store) for about an hour and a half looking for different types of Wines. I am planning on going out to California where he lives sometime next year. He is a USC alumni so hopefully he can score us some tickets to the USC vs UCLA game next season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am currently looking into getting my own Apartment or town home. Ever since I came back from school (Southwest), I've roomed with my Brother in a few places (their townhome, our apartment and the current house). Being 22 now (I know most think that is young), it's time to move out on my own and start my "Adult" life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am looking into selling my TV. It is a 37" Olevia LCD HD TV. I am looking to upgrade and buy a plasma. To buy it in stores would be in the range of $800-$900. Send me an e-Mail if you are interested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things I am looking forward to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Black Friday (I am normally up all night).&lt;br /&gt;*My own apartment&lt;br /&gt;*Next year when I finally get the opprotunity to move up within TCF&lt;br /&gt;*Our next President (you knew it was coming)&lt;br /&gt;*Buying my next new Blackberry (The Blackberry Javelin or Bold, whichever comes out 1st)&lt;br /&gt;*Mortal Kombat vs. DC Comics&lt;br /&gt;*Quantum of Solace on Friday!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well... I'm outta here. I gotta crap load to say, but not alot of time.
