Tis a sad day
I realized it today after I finished creating Jessica and I’s bank account that one year ago today I smoked my happiness for the last time. Kind of weird thinking about it, especially if you knew how it was back home before I enlisted. I’ll never forget the days prior just greening myself out, and my last day in which I ended up in a oxygen-deprived coma. I always wished they’d legalize it so we’d all be able to enjoy more, and now that I can’t touch the stuff they’re seriously considering my wish.
Although its pretty depressing not being to smoke anymore, I’ve definitely taken the situation in a different light now that things are looking (generally) up. As much as some of us would’ve enjoyed just staying home and getting high all day, eventually that will get old and I think I realized that at the right time. I wouldn’t trade the decision for the world though, without it I wouldn’t have the job security, benefits, and (the best part) a loving and beautiful wife to show for it. Hopefully when I get out I’ll be able to secure a steady and well paying job, and get back a part of life I miss a lot.
**UPDATE**
I did a bit of editing a while back regarding TorrentCoil and an issue with the parsing from individual sites. When I first requested a few quick sets of regex from buddies online to get the site running and did what I could with them. Unfortunately, these sets weren’t exactly live-enabled and have since hindered the site’s main use. The editing I performed just got rid of the sections of data that the regex were fubar’ing, and I noticed that in doing so the hits on the site dropped dramatically. After reviewing that information, I ventured to my site and found that absolutely no data was returned whatsoever. As of today I reset the site back to a later date (before the changes were made) and everything is returning properly (including the errors returned due to the regex). I’ve already requested a few buddies give me a hand and I should have the site fully operational by Friday.

I’m still working on digging them all up.
I’m having horrible internet problems. I should have them all fixed by Monday.
