Well sorry for the long time no see but ive had some serious changes in my life. To start i moved out of my dads place and in to my sisters where i had little to no net access so that made it really hard to get here very much. So the part about no net is pretty bad and really the only bad part in the whole list of changes. After moving out of my dads i went from a pack and a half a day smoker to a half a pack a a day smoker with in just a few days and started feeling allot better. Soon after moving in to my sisters place i got a job pays not great but i love what I'm doing. Im working at the local bike shop here in clinton called rock & river bike shop. http://rockriverbikeshop.com . Then about 2 and half to 3 months ago we had more people move in to my sisters small crowded house. My nieces best friend and her 3 kids. This is when the next big and great change in my life began. A little thing about me most do not likely know. In the mornings i tend to be pretty lazzy and just want to lounge on the couch smoke my first cig of the day drink my first cup of coffee and watch a bit of no thought rerun tv (or the lbft series heh). Well one day something strange happened you see the night before Tyler (6) my nieces friends oldest was sitting on the other end of the couch and fell asleep. The couch just happens to be the only place i can sleep in the small house. So tyler is on one end of the long thing and im on the other. The kid wakes up at like 6 or 7 every morning same as me. Well me being to lazy to go to another room i smoke my first cig there while the coffee is making. Tyler is watching some cartoons i put on for him to keep him out of my hair so to speak then his sister make the couch kind of crowded. Me still not fully awake continues with my first smoke of the day. And then tyler says something that will start the next big change in my life. "jerome? can you put that out or go in another room it is kinda bothering me." Heres a 6 year old telling me what to do. Instead of saying no youll just have to wait or move down or something. I do not say a word i simply put it out and say "hows that?" It is then that he looks up smiles and says "thanks" I say "your welcome...."
Next night he is back in the bed room with his sisters but still wakes me up around 6 am when he turns the tv on and here i am still my typical morning lazy self still not wanting to leave the room. But instead of smoking that first morning cig i do not even light it up.
Over the next week or so it is the same thing every single morning me and ty get to be quite close i now look at him as the little brother i never had. Now while i still smoke i smoke maybe 6 or 7 a day at most. Simply put ty seems to have hatched a little get jerome to stop smoking plan. If i am in the kitchen smoking he comes in there knowing i do not want to smoke around him or he will "loose" the remote and need my help finding it or some other little trickery to keep me from those cigs. And you know the funny thing is i could not be happier.
I now have a new little brother and 2 little sisters i would do any thing for.
My life has changed in so many ways these past few months for the better. So thats what happened to me and why i have been absent from these forums.
