Small Update

Wow, has it really been almost a week since I last posted? I guess so. Well, I have been busy as usual at work. We have been super busy the past couple of days and I have no reason why. No holiday and no special events; just people. I have been in the stockroom the last two days and will be back on registers and runner this week. Anna is coming in to town later this week for the weekend which I am really looking forward too and then as of this morning, it looks like I will then be deployed to Tomorrowland Merchandise for at least the next week. Lots of people starting to pack up here at Disney World and I am not talking the guests. Spring Advantage cast members are beginning to depart and new CPs will be arriving soon. Wow, it’s already been 2 months since i started. Seems a lot less though. Well, I need to get back to a paper of class. Catch you all around.

Still Here

Well, I finally have my day off. It was a rough end of the week last week. First, i found out we had to out one of our dogs down at home and then the next day, I find out that one of my close friends decided to take his own life. Ran some trips around town this morning and to the Mall at Millennia and now, I am just relaxing. No specific plans for tonight but, I am looking forward to just hanging out. Perhaps I will put in a DVD or something but I don’t know. It’s raining right now so that leaves out going to a park. Hmmmm…. what to do.

Goodbye Scott

Scott, you became one of my closest friends over the past summer. I just can’t believe that you are gone. I was hoping to come visit you this coming year while you were at school. I guess that wont be happening now. You are now in good hands with the Lord. I’ll miss you.

Scott, I know you are gone but, I also know that you will always be with me and others in our hearts and memories. I think the below song from the Lion King Musical will always remind me that your passion and memory will always live on.

He Lives in You (Reprise)
The Lion King [Original Broadway Cast]

Ingonyama nengw’ enamabala

Night and the spirit of life calling mamela
And a voice just the fear of a child answers mamela

Ubu khosi bo khokho [This is the throne of our ancestors]

We ndodana ye sizwe sonke [Oh, son of the nation]

Wait, there’s no mountain too great
Hear the words and have faith
Have faith

He lives in you
He lives in me

He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you

He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you

He lives in you
He lives in you
He lives in you
He lives in you

He lives in you
He lives in me

He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you

He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you

Buddy

October 1992 - July 15, 2004

Buddy recently was diagnosed with cancer in his chest and this morning, Mom and Dad made the decision that it was time. Dad said that Buddy knew it was time as well. Goodbye Buddy. I know you lived a full life and I know you will be missed. I’m sorry you had to get cancer before I could come home and say goodbye. I’ll miss you as I know Mom, Dad, Tim, Camper and the rest of the family will.

Back to Work I go

Well, today I head back to work after a nice relaxing day off yesterday. I got the chance to sleep in and then met up with Andrew who was visiting from Hilton Head and Clare and Anne who were also off yesterday at the Magic Kingdom. Killed some time there before we seperated and went to get my haircut on Main Street USA again and then went home before the rain got too bad. Relaxed at home for a bit and thenw ent to visit Jonnie at Epcot and pick up a few DVDs at Downtown Disney before they went back in to the vault for 10 more years. Jonnie and I were going to get together after he got off work but he needed the extra sleep so I just made plans to hang out with Clare and Anne some more. Overall, it was a nice relaxing day.

Now I am just relaxing before I head in to work tonight at 18:00. I work E-Ride and then I am stocking so that means I am out at 03:00, yes folks that is 3am in the morning! So hope all of you have a good night sleep while I am working.
