Default Quick update
As some of you may already know, the last two weeks have really changed my life.
  • My girlfriend and I parted ways due to the stress from my job
  • I lost my job due to the company going out of business
  • September 27th I was in a single vehicle accident that totaled my C6 and left me with a broken neck. C4 and C5 have been fused

I wanted to be out in the open with all of my friends and family here. The car is of no worry. Nicole and I have made great progress on repairing our relationship and I can still walk.

I have no idea why, but for some reason, I'm still alive. Take every day as it it were your last. One day you will be correct. God Bless.

Learned that lesson last year. Now I enjoy getting up before the sunrise and watching God paint the skies each morning as I make coffee.

If you need something, please ask.

Get better Bart, the world is better with you in it.

I had a feeling something was up but glad you are still with us. Hang in there bro. Sooner or later we will need to meet up and grab a brew. Or ten.

That was after 8 hours in the ER strapped to a backboard. I had one shot to inform as many friends as possible and ensure my mother would be notified. I was in no shape to make a phone call. Sorry if I scared anyone, but honestly, I was scared as Hell when I got the chance to get that message out.

Holy crap man, that's a lot to take in a couple of weeks. I hope things are all going in the right direction for you now.

Every time my life seemed like it was going wrong, some things happened and it got better than ever. Turns out I have some great friends. I am sure you do also. Things will go your way, be positive.
1 Get healed and healthy.
2 & 3 Lots of jobs and chicks out there. Find one you like.
4 Hopefully insurance will get you a new Vette.

One of my lawyers once told me that bad times like these help you appreciate the good times even more. At the time I wanted to punch him in the face but that line has stuck with me ever since. It will be good again. Maybe even better.

Damn Bart, I knew about the wreck but not the job and your lady. I'll add those to the prayers for you. It's time for you to have really really good things happen to you!

You've been through a fair amount in your short life B. And i'm only talking about 05/06 forward when we first became friends, god knows what else went down prior to that.. This shit is no different.

Like you said the other day "I got this."
