Finally actually got some pictures taken with the camera and loaded up. One of the things I intend on doing is at least regularly is taking pictures as I travel of nice scenery. The two photo’s added today were taken while traveling down I64 in Virginia. Very beautiful country with plenty of trees. Camera works better then I thought as was traveling at 65 mph at the time. I just entered Kentucky before shutting down for the night and will continue making my way towards Missori in the morning.
As for the personal side of things…I am slowly recovering I guess. That is the thing about having your entire world shaken to the core and left in rubble. Once the innitual shock and confusion wears off.. you start looking towards the future and what it can hold. I’m not sure what lays in store for me in the coming year. I know it’s going to take a lot of work for me to move forward and accomplish some of the dreams that have began to manifest themselves in my head. Probably the hardest time will be for me when my son steps out of the truck. Going to feel like an eternity until I see him again in Dec. As for the personal side…not going to worry about it. To do so would drive me nuts. Going to concentrate on moving forward with my future and if something happens down the road and I find myself in a relationship…then it does. If not.. at least I’ve established a decent future for myself. Guess I’ve decided that in part because I’m too shy. My new philosophy is if a woman wants a relationship with me she’ll have to make the first move. Because being on the road…I’d drive myself nuts thinking about trying to start a relationship with anyone. In a way it lets me know the person is serious enough about it.
I am sure this rambles and makes little sense. Been up since 3 am and here it is going on 10.pm. But that is part of the truckers life. Seems like I am lucky if I get 6 hrs before having to get up and roll again. But before I go I guess I will leave ya all with another poam I have been working on in my head yesterday and today.
Hey pretty lady with cell phone in her hand.
Looking so lonely, how I wish I could be her man.
Of her sweet lips to have a taste
To wrap my strong arms around her waist
But these thoughts she’ll never know
Because we’re under a load and it’s go, go, go
But such is the life of this trucker man
As he zooms across this land
I arise to a day still pitch black
While you are still sleeping in the sack
By the time you hand is hitting the alarm, and your day has begun
A few hundred miles I’ve completed on this run
I’ll see the rise and the fall of the sun you see,
Because your workday will be done before me
As your family and you settle in for the night
I’ll be hoping a parking spot falls into my sight.
So you see there is no time to tell her these thoughts in my head
The words I want to say won’t be said
Because if not driving, he’s lucky if he gets fed,
Because tomorrows a few hrs away.. another busy day…and he needs to spend a few hrs asleep in his bed
