Votes Are In!

Okay so a I know a lot of you commented my last post, telling me you would like to see food in here and some of you used the vote box which turned out to be tied with work and my daughter. I'll try to incorporate all three in this post. I'd like to say a few things about my daughter just to get it out there in case anyone is curious. My daughter, Selena, was born on January 9th of 2009 and she is the greatest thing that ever happened to me. Unfortunately at the same time it was announced to me that I was going to be a father, my parents were both fighting at the time, and my mom ended up leaving us the same week. A few months later, my dad said he was moving to Arkansas. So Carly, Selena's mother, ended up moving in with me and my parents and eventually we three moved in with my uncle when my dad left for Arkansas. At this point I was pretty furious with the way my family had broken up just like that, but I never let it get to me.

My anger eventually started to surface in the form of neglect and downright rage. I lashed out at everyone and everything, including my daughter and her mother. Being barely nineteen and having a child puts your mind through a lot, especially if you're unprepared, which we were. I had a full time job, but it wasn't enough. Nothing is ever enough, really. I wanted to be in school. I wanted my own place. I felt like I was slowly losing grip of my own life, and that this decision to have a baby was going to direct my future. It did, but in a completely different way. So needless to say, I lost my own family due to my anger, and they went back to Carly's home. She started college early to make up for lost time in high school, and she's still doing quite well. She made it on the Deans list last semester. I hope my daughter has that ambition. Long story short, I ended up moving around to different houses, including my own car for about a month, and then I ended up here in Arkansas, with my dad. I'm now 21 and in college. So far it's going very well, but we'll save the rest of that story for later.

Work. Okay. I've been off work at the clothing store for the weekend, so no news there. I do my own freelance advertising work on the side in town, so I caught up on some of my work there today. Ebay is a miracle of the Capitalist world.

The moment you've all been waiting for. Food. So when I walked into my kitchen I immediately saw the Pizza Hut box sitting on the table. I must have missed it when I took a shower this morning.

Sadly there were no sliced left. How disappointing. Then I looked in the freezer and forgot all about my previous post, saying that I was going to make Tilapia but ended up making chicken. Well guess what? It's on for Tilapia night. Hells yeah. This Tilapia recipe from Allrecipes.com looks great. Can't wait to taste it :D
