About to get yanked...

Posted 04.27.2009 at 09.13 AM by ghostchild
Well todays the day that I will most probablly get yanked from home...

When your off for 3 days...the 3rd day is when you actually finally recover...start feeling human again...like maybe you matter a little to people...

And just when you start recovering...yank!!

Heck, you even start to look better...your better able to take care of yourself...bathe and shampoo on a regular basis...you have nice big mirrors in which to look at yourself in...
I know...

Not your typical country bunskin trucker

Posted 04.26.2009 at 05.07 PM by ghostchild
And it doesn't help that I'm not your typical country bunskin truck driver...

I'm more like someone from the band Devo...or the Sex pistols...or Prince...

I'm an artist...I'm Hollywood...but the trucking world is not receptive to someone like me...so it's extra lonely...

For someone like me it's hard to fit into the regular world...and then even harder at times to fit into the trucking world...a double whammy...

So what does someone like me...

Feeling normal again...

Posted 04.26.2009 at 04.44 PM by ghostchild
Hi, I'm feeling normal again...sort of...what I mean is I'm home...if you want to call it that...
I'm doing work around my sisters house while drinking a cold one...and speaking with neighbors...I'm home...people know and recognize me...and I know and recognize them...that's what it's about...

It saddens me to think that as soon as tomorrow I may have to give all this up and once again thrust myself into the world of lonely truck stops and rest areas where you don't matter to...

Want to start my own business

Posted 04.25.2009 at 07.59 PM by ghostchild
I really just want to start my own business...even if it's just selling hot dogs and other goodies under an umbrella all day...I just want to work on my terms for here on out...

I enjoy being around people, interacting with people, building relationships...and trucking kinda robs me of that...

I don't know...we'll see...I just need a few more checks before I can confidently make a move...

Home, now what?

Posted 04.25.2009 at 07.56 PM by ghostchild
Ok, now I'm 'home'...now what?
When your out on the road...you make so many plans for yourself...your gonna quit and do this and do that...but then when you get home...all you want to do is relax...and enjoy your time off without the stress of worrying about another job...

It's like an abusive relationship...time off is like the 'I'm sorry, didn't mean to hurt you' period...and so you soon forget the agony of just a few days earlier...and so you go back..and bam...the same thing......

When I get home

Posted 04.25.2009 at 12.08 PM by ghostchild
It's like the first day or day and a half at home doesnt even count...it feels more like 'get use to being a human' again phase...

The mindset you have to get in in order to survive over the road mentally is totally incompatidble with the mindset I get into at home...

And it sucks when you get home, and are already stressing over leaving again...

Cause it seems just when you've finally shed your over the road mentality and are able to relax...you got to...
