I have had the urge to blog for some time now. I am very excited to start doing this and I hope that it becomes a regular occurrence. I would like to start story series to where a new part comes out ever so often. I hope that you enjoy it and it will be very interesting as I take stuff from fiction and mix it with fact.
Part I: The Rage
He slammed the door on 121 Walnut Street with great force. If made of glass, the door would have shattered into a million mirrors on the ground. Mind and feet racing he made it to his truck and fumbled with his keys. Adrenaline pumped through his veins. He could feel the heat rushing over him though it was a cold night.
Slamming the keys into the ignition he felt the truck spring to life. Revving it up to meet his intensity at once, he felt the pure power he harnessed in the Ford F150. The two became one as he sped off down the dark and uninhabited road. He replayed the movie in his head over and over again. He knew he was right and that she was so wrong. The more he thought of their argument the more he angered for her to feel his pain. To feel the pain he felt when she blamed him for all that was wrong in there seven year marriage.
Paying attention to his thoughts and not the winding road in front of him his truck lost control. The last thing he remembered was slow motion. At this point he knew that the only thing in the whole entire world he wanted was to tell her that he loved her! God, help me!
**********
Sitting on her couch and brushing her face of tears, she wallowed in disbelief of what just happened! She feels exhausted and drained of every ounce of strength. The one thing left is her contempt for the man she calls her true love. Getting mad at her thoughts she screams and tosses a vase across the room. The vase explodes into a thousand tiny sparkles on the floor. Amazingly this does not make her feel better. If anything she fells out of control. Slumping down on the couch she stares into the black night and fills her mind with regrets about the last seven years.
All at once her body is jolted awake by the sound of her cell phone ringing. Fighting with her self she decides not to pick it up and throw it out the window or break it in to a million pieces just like the vase. Gathering her courage she makes the slow walk towards the phone. "Get your self together," she tells herself! Picking up the phone she notices that it is not his number. This crushes her spirit even more that has not called yet. Flipping it open the voice on the other end makes her speechless. The voice on the other end makes her cry all over again.
End of Part I*******
Well what do you think? Do you want to know what happens! Let me know!
Hope everyone who reads this is doing well!

I am not Doogie Howser M.D.
I do not know if any of my readers remember Doogie and his nightly computer entries. I do not like to write every night because it would be boring and I like to keep things as interesting as possible for you who read my Blog!
There is a topic I would like to discuss and it makes me laugh so I hope that it can bring a crooked little smile to your faces also.
Topic one is phone calls on the cell phone!
One moment you are sitting in your favorite chair and think of calling your best friend on his or her cell phone. You think it would be fun to invite them over or let them in on the joke you heard today at the office. You get excited and hit the contacts button, scroll to the name, and hit send as fast as you can. You are actually getting pissed because your fingers cannot move fast enough. The anticipation is killing you as the phone rings, but you are so elated to finally get to talk to your friend that you can hardly stand it. You are so pumped up and do not know how to deal with these emotions bursting like fireworks. While you wait you envision doing a back flip for the first time or you even start to salivate now that you are so hyped up with happiness.
All of the sudden an onset of sadness runs over you that they might not answer the phone. The phone has rang three times and they still have not picked up. Finally you are about to curl up in a ball and start to cry because your idea is shot and your feel stupid for even trying. Soon your visions turn from dreams to nightmares! During the back flip you fall on your head and the saliva has been replaced by a waterfall of tears.
Then to your utter amazement you hear hello reverberate across the waves of cellphone signal and reach your ears. You are so excited that you just about yell back a common North American greeting. Then it happens!!!! All this time and all this excitement for the biggest let down since Sopranos ended in darkness or O.J. was not convicted.
Your friend says, "what do you need I am busy!"
OR
You say, how are you my best friend in the world and he/she says....
I can't talk right now, and quickly hangs up the phone!
There are other variations to this that I could go through, but I know you understand what I am talking about! It is a big let down and you are crushed. You not only feel bad because you did not get to talk to your best friend, but now you feel like crap because you interrupted there event they were partaking in.
You know what I think, maybe you should not answer your phone when you are busy then. Maybe, you should make an answering message that says what you are doing at that point and time!
Hi, this is Paul and I am not available right now because I have to work and 3, shave my dog at 7, and then I am L.A.R.Ping until midnight!
Or
Hey, this is Paul and I am busy right now,
If this is Mark, I will call you about 6,
If this is Lisa, I am avoiding your phone call
If this is My Mom, I will be over for supper on Sunday!
If this is My sweet tomatoe pie, I will call you soon my bumpkin wumpkin!!!
I think that would be a lot better then the dreaded let down of the hang up or the excuse. Please think about this, that is what silent or vibrate is for! Enough on that topic, I am getting worked up just thinking about it!

Not so deep!
Well I am happy to say that today has been so fun. I was thinking of something fun for us to do on this wonderful day of independence. On this momentous 4th of July and decided on Chuck E Cheese! Man was it a blast! I had a coupon that gives you 100 tokens for $15 dollars.
Alisha and I debated on weather to get 100 or just get 20! When it came down to it I acted like a little kid and got what I wanted. 100 because I knew we would use them all and it would be amazingly fun. Okay, I have to let you in on a little secret about me! I do not know what you call it but I like to do things only if we get to go all the way! For example, I have to be in the front row at a concert or really good seats. If there is an option between first class and second class seats on an airplane and the monetary difference is slim or not greater that $50 bucks, you are going to have to do a lot of talking to get me to see that the money is not worth it! So when it comes to 20 or 100 tokens, I want 100 tokens.
Game after game we ran around that place with nothing on our minds but to gather as many tickets as possible. You see Alisha and I have always enjoyed an outing to the Chuck of Cheese! We would go and play Ski Ball and just have a blast. Imagine two teenagers running around with little kids fighting for a spot at the Dino Spinner. We have thousands of tickets saved up. I have no idea how many we have, but I bet it is over 3000!
- - - - This just in - - - We have 3,601!!!! Nice huh!
No we are at home letting the kids take their naps and we as parents get a moment to breath. My wife more than me because the kids stick to her like white on rice, glass of milk, and a paper plate in a snow storm. (what movie is that line from?) It is becoming more apparent that my sons are coming around and noticing their Daddy a little more. Soon my wife tells me it will all be about me!
Finally, today i am going to take an adventure with my father In law (Mervin). We are going to try and make our own beer! I am very excited and hopeful that in few years I will be able to walk to my fridge, open the door, and my choices will be between my beer and my beer. Hope everyone has a great 4th!

Welcome to my blog!
My name is Mark! This is my blog! I am going to write that I feel like I have no patience! I try very hard to have decent thoughts and try to keep things together. The truth is I do not know why I let things get to me. Some would say that I am very sensitive and those who know me have found that to be true. I do not find myself to be selfish, but with my low tolerance for certain things I seem to lose myself in the moment.
I am sure that you the reader has found yourself in a situation or a moment to where you find that you have done or said something that you not only regret, but you look at the mirrored past and realize that you do not even recognize the person in the darkened reflection. IT IS NOT FAIR to those around you. It is not fair to yourself.
Sometimes I feel that inside me there is an alter ego or some voice I am trying to keep quiet. I know this makes me sound crazy. I feel that it is good to be honest. My brain tells me to keep quiet while this beast rattling the cage is telling me to lose control. This beast whispers commands that makes me say whatever comes to mind first, do whatever comes to mind, finally to walk away and act like a adolescent who got told they could not go out on Saturday night. To sum it up in one word, pathetic!
Life is a struggle, life is a journey, life is a blessing from God. That is why this blog is called Mile 4 Mile. It is my journey throughout my life. I will talk about anything and everything that comes to mind in hopes to cage the beast. After all we do it day by day, moment by moment, and Mile 4 Mile!
