A chorus of Angels never sounded so frightening
Gabe stood from the kneeling position he had been in for the last hour. The wound in his chest tweaked with pain as he stood, but not as much as possible all things considered. ( Read on )

Revelations
Somewhere in the Nevada Desert…
The euphoria of Gabe’s first flight still gripped him as he made his way on foot back to Michael’s car and to the woman he loved. The memory of the wind rushing through the feathered light, the strain on his shoulder muscles and the revelations from their mysterious rescuer all swam through his mind.

12:29 pm - Awakening
Dr Simmons consulting room
Electricity surged through all of Gabe’s body. His muscles spasmed uncontrollably as he felt his knees buckle, and as he fell he gazed upon Joy. He could see she was petrified, and in himself he felt disgusted that he failed so easily. Gabe hit the floor and he felt himself lose consciousness.

The Keys to Your Heart
|
You are attracted to obedience and warmth. |
In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved. |
You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring. |
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. |
Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. |
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. |
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. |
In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily. |
How the hell can picking a bunch of animals from a list tell you all this? What a load of...

04:20 pm - Vegas Baby Yeah!!!!!!
I swear it's always day in the Nevada Desert. Well Joy and I are here in Vegas, and living it up. I had a big win on the Roulette table which is kind of funding us over here. Good because now I dont feel so guilty about letting her lend me the cash. Now I am all paid up and treating my lady to some style....IN VEGAS BABY!!!!!!!!
I kind of find astonishing how they just dont seem to care about practicality over here. I mean one of the main attractions here is this huge waterfall called the Bellagio and it goes on ages and they have it like every hour. Thats a lot of water, and in a desert I think thats pretty amazing.
The entertainment here is out of this world. They got everything you could possibly want and its open 24/7. Man I finding it so hard to not look like a farmer here. You know all Wide eyed and gawking, kind of like a 'Cletus'. You know like the slack jawed yokel
I am sure if I wasnt dressed well (thanks Joy) that I am sure thats exactly what they would think of me. Thankfully pretty clothes and a pretty lady cover that up just well. hehe
Well I think we perhaps have about another week at most here before the money starts to run out, and reality sts in. I think we are planning to go to Disneyland while we are here, and maybe perhaps Hollywood. After that I guess its back to the hum drum of normal life in NZ. Thankfully thats not yet!
Catch ya Later

09:48 am - Continuation.....
Start of week two and I still find myself employed here as a sports columnist. Still hard to believe really. I still dont what I am really doing and it feel like they are just going to find that out any day now.
Well I had another great weekend. Joy was mission accomplished again. The date went really smoothly, and I heaped on the charm. In the interests of those who may skim over this journal and are unlucky in the ways of the fairer sex I feel I should share my good fortune. But I wont. Right now I am too happy and selfishly keeping it to myself.
I dont think I am feeling great because I keep getting laid, hell that has never been an issue but I am still trying to figure out exactly why Joy is just different from the others I have had. Well for one I guess she knows what she is doing. So many of the girls I have had are either pretty models who think they are too good for you and just dont get into it, or they are girls who are basically boring in the sack. I cant tell you how sick I am of doing all the work!!!
Anyways things are good at the moment in that regard, however I just got a text from her saying she wants to see me tonight. Normally I would go, but she says that the dudes I met a fortnight ago are going to be there. Joy just seems to get really weird around them and I am not sure I want to stick around for that. Perhaps I will go and try and tune them out, or maybe try and steal Joy away. Who knows.
I wonder if this has got anything to do with the Murder suspect getting out of the Loony Bin?

01:11 pm - Ready steady go
Round two is about to get under way. For those who have no idea what Im on about Ill clue you in. I met a girl under very strange circumstances last monday week, and have since been out with her once. It was so good that I am doing it again. So I will see her tomorrow night for fun times and who knows what else. I think Ill do something a little out of the ordinary for her tomorrow, I think she needs it cause she just laps all the attention I give her. Not that I am complaining. I got a few things in mind so I will let ya know.

10:27 am - Monday, Start of the Working Week
Well Monday morning is here and its back into the daily grind. Weekend was good, and I am pretty stoked about the 'Canes sticking it to the Warratahs. Nice for the boys, and about time they are able to shut those critics up. Kind of funny that now I am the critic. Kind of like the other side of the fence, or a spy, or something. Anyways my column should up today in the paper. My first ever, and hopefully with no gramma errors. Although I am sure its required for a sports writer. I went for the tried and true cliche opening in case you were wondering.
Well the weekend was a blast, capped off by some good rugby, but I guess I would be shot, hang, drawn, and quartered should I not mention the good time I had on Friday. I had almost forgot what it was like to be on the other side of the bar, you know, the side that seems to have all the fun. Went to the new Loaded hog out on the water front to meet up with joy for a few drinks. The place was alright. Certainly better than it was a few months ago. Screens everywhere, and the place is Huge! What a funny girl this Joy is, and of course a body to boot! It seemed she is a much different girl than what she was on Monday last week. A lot less troubled I think. Still dont know what was up that day. Definately weird. I have to say that after getting her all loosened up (thanks to our friend beer - "getting ugly people laid since 1843", love those posters), and the prerequisite small talk, I had the best time I have had in a long time. Some things of course I shouldnt plaster over the Internet, so I wont. Needless to say I think I will definately give her another go. In fact I think I will ring her now...

10:52 am - .....bored
Heya,
Cant believe I am still writing in this thing. I am sitting at work at the computer surrounded by some of the oldest people I know. You know the second hand suit I scored myself? Well I am surely in the place that they get their stock from. I am sure I have never so many bad suits in my life. Hopefully after I get a few paychecks behind me I can turn up in some cool Hallensteins suits. Sooner if they have one of their sales.
Gave Joy a call last night. Asked her out to drinks and stuff. Shes keen so thats cool. I think sadly its going to be the first friday I have been in town and not been working in ages. Past few weeks excluded of course. Should be a blast. The leg has been feeling good to. Seems that its not a one off eh. So excited..Well I would be if I wasnt so bored. If any random dude reads this then maybe they can like post a reply to my Question..
How do I start a news article?
I was thinking like perhaps going with the American presenter thing, You know something like "welcome sports fans..."
You know if they continue to employ me for writing columns then I might actually have to name my column. I was thinking something like "Angel in the Field" , Although I mean I am not sure If I like using my old Nickname.
Ah well anyways I think perhaps I might go see a doctor in the next week or so to see whether or not My Medial ligaments are actually healing. That could be cool, although unlikely. Who knows perhaps I can get my body back

01:11 pm - New day, New job, Weird night
Well Monday sure was interesting to say the least. Things got a little weird after I finished writing the last update. I was like in a bar drinking (I know I shouldnt, but I feel fine) just to celebrate my new job when my boss rang and said I was going to be on TV! Of all things he wanted me to cover some suspect in a murder case down at the police station. Its not my thing right. I dont know a damn thing about being on the telly, apart from saying "back to you at the studio" and nodding like your listening to somebody talk to on an ear piece. Hopefully I didnt look stink. I gave the best I could. Thankfully Bill and James were good and helped me out. Bill is the Camera man that I was hanging out with, and James is the Sound dude. So guys if you ever read this; Thanks I really appreciated it eh, and ah thanks for understanding about the Joy thing. It seemed the report was a bit of a fizzle. Not much happened. I did find out who there suspect was, but I am not sure I should really say. By chance though I bumped into a bunch of weird people who said they were his friends he was like innocent of something. If you knew the suspect you wouldnt be too sure though. He is like this crazy dude. Anyway one of them, Joy was giving me the glad eye all night. She was down at the station because she saw her friends on telly to. Anyways all of the turned up and convinced me and the boys to go for a drink at this bar. Bill and Jim were pretty keen and seemed to think we wouldnt get in trouble. We went to this bar in , ah i forget the street, and Its really weird. They have like this weird fake guess the card I am holding trick to get in. Lame way of turning people away I thought. They didnt let in Bill and James, but they seemed cool with it. Anyways I get introduced to them all, and they explain that they have seen the guy who murdered this Amy Thomas girl, and that they think they are next on this serial killers hit list. They seem really uptight eh and there asking whether or Not I have a headache, or see ghosts, or whether I did something a rather during the earthquake we had. I woulda left if I hadnt of felt guilty about leaving Jim and Bill out in the could for a chick. At least this way I could plead that I was chasing the story. Anyhoo the others left finally, and I spent some normal time with Joy just drinking and getting to know her a bit. Anyhoo I got her number and Email, so I think I might giver her a call or something. Well a new job, and possibly even a new girlfriend, or at least some fun anyways. Things may actually be getting better.

02:22 pm - A New Day, A New Job!
I am not really one for writing in these things, but today has been such a welcome change from the last few years and I feel positive enough to share it. Some days you just know you are going to have a good day. Today I woke up feeling a lot healthier than I have in a long time. The sun was shining, and my knee was not so stiff and sore. That alone was great but also my landlord is no longer going to kick me out, and I can finally afford to eat something better than two minute noodles!!!! Why i hear you ask? I got a job today! Its not much, but it will do for the mean time. I still cant believe it. It happened all so fast. You see I was just walking down outside the Sports Cafe on Courtenay to hand back my uniform to my Wanker boss and collect my final pay when I bumped into some guy who used to watch me play back in school. Anyways we got to talking, and I was telling him about the typical raw deal I got from Mr Wanker, and out of the blue he offered me a job!!!! It's not something I am good at really, I mean I know sports, but I am not a writer (hell I failed English!), and certainly I dont think I am good enough to write for a real paper. He didnt seem to care at all, and he gave me a couple bucks to go buy a shirt for work. I managed to get a full suit instead from the opshop, with enough left over for a burger!
Anyhoo I start tomorrow. I hope I can keep the job at least long enough to get myself out of this hole and back to the real world. I never would have thought my life would be like this a week ago. Goes to show I guess things can change huh.
Current Mood: optimistic
