The Start of A New Beginning

It has been awhile since my last post.  I think it was sometime in February?  A lot has happened since then, but I'll talk about that later.  I first want to talk about what is on my mind at this very second.

Nine days ago, after getting into an argument with my girlfriend (her name is Annette Drapp and we have been dating since April 15, 2013) I get a Facebook message.  It is from Conner.  I'm going to try to express myself as much as I can because I feel like I need to get a lot of stuff out of me and into this blog.  The moment Conner text me it was a sign of shock, anxiety, and just wanting to know what was going on.  If you recall, Conner and I got in a huge argument back in December of 2012 and since then we have lost all connections with each other.  Conner had just found out that his girlfriend of three years has cheated on him and that he needed to escape for the night so he could leave.  It is one thing that his girlfriend cheated on him, it is a completely different thing when I find out he had just had surgery.  Conner was the only one here for me when I had surgery (besides my mom of course) and I just could not pass it up.  It was the ultimate test of our friendship.  So with butterflies in my stomach, anxiety going out of the roof, I decide to go pick him up.  Best decision I made.  After having him sleep over and catching up, it was a sense of relief that I had my number one, best friend and brother, Conner back in my life.  Ever since then, it feels so good to have a person to talk to that's been through similar things that I have been through, that gives me an escape when I'm not feeling right, or don't want to be around people that bug me and just want to be by myself.  Conner understands this feeling of wanting to escape, wanting to be left alone, and even though I am physically in the same room as him, it feels as if I have been left alone.  He knows when to talk and when somethings up and he knows that sometimes I just need to be left alone, that's what it is my escape route.  It feels so good to have reunited with him.  So good.  I have had the pleasure of spending Monday through Thursday catching up with him.  I love him to death, such an amazing person.  The thing is, and I don't like to say it but it is completely true, is that I am happy we fought in December.  The reason why?  It brings us even closer together now.  And that's what I love.

So I talk about being "left alone" and needing an "escape zone."  What do I really mean by these things? Well a lot of sad stuff has happened this week.  Sad personal stuff.  I lost a family friend and I lost a dog that I have known for the longest time (at least since I was ten years old). I just needed to be left alone, an escape zone, and unfortunately I don't think I have that zone at Annette's.  I feel as if I come over and just be quiet like I normally would she would think I was mad at her, but I am not.  That is exactly what happened when I decided to go back.  Just because I came back and turned my back to her when I was laying down, doesn't mean that I was mad at her, but I wanted to be left alone.  Didn't want to talk about my day, or even my week.  Just wanted to be left alone.  Well that's how my week went.

Moving on, I have been with Annette since April.  It has definitely have had its ups and downs.  In the end, I love her with all my heart and she makes me happy.  A lot of people are like "a relationship isn't a relationship without sex." I have to strongly disagree with that.  A relationship, in my opinion, is good with or without sex and I happy to announce that I have renewed my abstinence.  I have decided to do this because of many reasons.  I'm not going to waste time and list them now, but it's for the better and it makes the relationship so much stronger.

Ashley and I have also regained friendship, but you might know about that since my last blog in February (I honestly don't remember what I put there).  Ashley and I are good friends to this point, and like any friendship, we have had our ups and downs, not going to name any specifics.

As my health stands,  I have lost some weight and I am no longer on high blood pressure medication because I have been cleared for high blood pressure! YAY ME!

That's all I have for now.  Until next time - hopefully I will start posting more

A New Year, A New Me!

It's been awhile.  Quite frankly, I completely forgot my blog account with Google.  So much has happened since my last post, I don't know where to begin.

Let me start off by saying this.  Most of the people that meant something to me last time I posted don't mean anything to me anymore.  They have decided to leave me and I'm fine with that.  I have learned to move on and understand that I'm better than them.

I have left my job at Marc's Grocery Stores and started my journey while I am at college into Marco's Pizza LLC.  It has definitely been a journey.  As of the beginning of February, I have been promoted to an Assistant Manager.  It feels so good to get a promotion and it feels so good to actually love my job.  I'm not stuck in a job where no one cares about me and all they care about is the customers.  Don't get me wrong, customers are the number one priority at Marco's Pizza but the employees and management actually care and treat employees fair, and that is what matters.

I made a Meet Me at the beginning of the year.  I was not intending to get into anything serious, at first I just wanted to joke around with people and think it would be funny.  This girls name is Alyssa.  I decided to meet up with her and she just makes me happy.  We have had a few disagreements, but it is great to spend time with her.  She makes me happy, and that's all that matters.

Other than that, life is pretty good.  Oh I forgot to mention that I recently switched majors from computer information systems to computer science.  Computer Science is more in depth with computers which is why I performed the switch.  Even though it is a big switch, I am happy to have made it.  

I hope to make more frequent posts.  Till next time,

Kent State University is where its at!

Well it has been awhile since my last post, so I apologize for that.  Blogster has disappeared from my mind for the past few months... Anyways moving on...

It has been great to hang out with my brother, Conner Vincent Roberts these past few weeks.  School is finally in Session as of the beginning of August and now we have been hanging out a lot and it has been great.  Just like the old times!  I love you to death Conner Vincent Roberts, and I will always be here for you no matter what!

Moving on,  it has been quite a roller coaster with my girlfriend.  We have been through our arguments but if we can both be patient enough, in the end it will be worth it.  So Tina if you are reading this know that I'm always with you mentally, but maybe not physically and you are strong to deal with this.

Finally,  the most important thing is OBAMA IS COMING TO KENT STATE ON WEDNESDAY!

Conner and I waited in a line for 2 hours this morning to get our tickets and we received them:

Well until next time....

End of July; Lets start the August PARTY!!!!!

Hello all,

It has been awhile since I have posted a blog.  I just haven't had the time to do it recently.  I just got my car fixed and finally have my first hard plates ever.  I am so happy about that.

It has been 6.5 months since I've been dating one of the most amazing girls!  TINA MARIE HUSSAIN!  I love this girl so much.  She is so good to me.  She took me and my mom to see the Dark Knight Rises yesterday as my birthday present and did I mention
August 22- August 23: VACATION!!!!!!
 August 22nd is the Honda Civic Tour in Cincinnati, Ohio.  I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE LINKIN PARK IN CONCERT.

I think I am going to have an amazing time.  Afterwards I will be going to Kings Island for the first time and I think that will be a blast as well.

I didn't want to publicize this but I feel it is necessary so my friends and family know.  I am going to start seeing someone (a counselor) because I just have too much emotions inside that I can't all post on facebook or blogster.  I need to see someone and get diagnosed which what I think is G.A.D. (General Anxiety Disorder).  I plan on making a phone call on Monday.

I wish sometimes people would understand me.  Since how great I am doing and see how great I continue to do.  Some people do and some people don't.  I feel as if I wish people could be in my shoes and know much better it will be for my college career to have someone to be by my side all the time and push me and help me succeed.  I don't know just a thought.

I can't wait to have an amazing August filled with tons of work, money, birthdays, vacation, and the start of school.

Till next time,

16 more days!

Hello!

Before I begin, I would like to tell everyone that is reading my blogs to feel free to post comments in the comment sections.  I will look them over and reply to the ones that I feel necessary.

On July 26 it will be my nineteenth birthday.  Where did all the time go?  I can't believe I'm already a sophomore in college and helping my girlfriend start college.

It has been a great morning today.  My girlfriend took me out to McDonalds and later we will be heading out to Legacy Village with a friend of ours, Dustin.  It should be a lot of fun.

I am so happy to beginning the transition to going back to college again.  A four month break is too long for me and I need to get in the back of things learning about computers, businesses, and the connections between them.

For those of you that do not know, I am majoring in Computer Information Systems at Kent State University.  I plan on receiving my bachelors degree from them.  Once I get my career going I plan on attending MIT and pursuing a masters degree in computer information systems there as well.

I am very excited to attend my web programming class in the fall.  I think it will teach me a lot of things I don't know about computers.

I would like to thank everyone for being there for me and supporting me 100% while I am in college.  These next couple of weeks are going to be a blast.  Can't wait for Cedar Point on my birthday.

By the way, if you want to get me something for my birthday and don't know what to get me leave it in the comment section below and I will get back to you.

Well I think that is all for now.  Have a great Tuesday everyone!

My hearing reestablished

Hello all!

What a day it has been today!  My day started off rough by getting only 4.5 hours of sleep and heading into work in one of the worst moods I have ever been in.  Let's just say me and one of my co-workers don't get along well.  Anyways, I was scared for my life because my boss had posted a sign under the time clock to see her ASAP.  Was really worried I did something wrong.  It turns out I have been invited to the Marc's Customer Service Luncheon.  After work I decided to take a nap because I was so exhausted.  Slept for around 3.5 hours.  After I woke up I ate dinner and my mother cleaned out my ears.

Let me tell you I have had not been able to hear out of my ears for the past 2 weeks.  It feels so good to be able to hear now.  I had to get a pressure water pump put up to my ear to spray everything out.  Thank god I can hear.

Till next time,

Some people never change

It has occured to me that change is hard and difficult for most people in this world.  People are not going to change for you.  Whether you like it or not, you have to deal with it.  Everyday people in this world make dumb decisions and they will regret it as life moves on.  I have had a pretty decent day so far.  A little drama in my life never hurts.  I went to Panera with my wonderful girlfriend, got to go driving with my mom and girly friend for a little bit.  And had my favorite food tonight... TACOS!!

I'm thinking about going to Chili's next Friday.

Some great news that I feel is necessary to share with the world.

July 12, 2012 marks a big day for me.
I will be celebrating on Thursday the biggest thing I have found... love.  I would have never guessed that I could have a stable girlfriend while being the emotional person I am, living my stressful life.  I cannot believe it has already been six months with Tina Marie Hussain.  It has been the best six months of my life.  I have never ever felt better about myself.  I have great self-esteem and I finally am believeing in myself because of her and my family.  She just puts the finishing touch to my life.  I know with her by my side I will become the successful man I will be.  I love her and I can't wait to spend Thursday with her.

Lastly, I would like to touch up a little more about the title of this post:  Some people never change.  I went into relationships and friendships thinking hey this person may change for me.  The truth is that they won't.  Yes you sometimes are only going to have one mom, one dad, etc.  But you have to live with it.  There is nothing else you can do.  Sometimes I wish I could take back the past and certain things I may have said to people.  But you know what, I am happy.  I am living life to the fullest.  I am doing what is best for me.  I have learned to accept people for who they are and never EVER take stuff for granted.  Well I'm off to take a shower and then bed because some of us have to work the courtesy desk at 7:30 am.  Till next time,
