WELCOME! I am back!

Welcome to (yet another...) Day one Dagi blog! Who am I? Who the hell is Dagi? Well, I am Jim the guy who loves her, and Dagi is the girl of my dreams. She is the girl I have waited all my life to meet. So...why the Blog? Well, circumstances have placed us now 7500Km's apart...so this is my little way of maintaining that small sliver of sanity that I have left by "Blogging" about our (now) troubled relationship.





I had more than 30+ Blogs on that "other" Blog site (My Space) up until about a week ago. But, it seems that one of Dagi's acquaintances saw it in its raw and unfinished form, and blew the whistle on me! Result? Dagi basically gave me an ultimatum to remove it...and I did.

In my defense, it wasn't finished, and yes...I had said some rather unkind things about what all I have had to go through with that crazy girl (and continue to go through...) but, my irish Optimism shines through, and I am looking at that proverbial light at the end of the tunnel! So...lets hope for a happy end to our little saga? That it winds up in a way that we can laugh about later and tell our kids and grandkids about?

Or...will it end in another way? Only time will tell!

Disclaimer: In the last series of Blogs, I got a bit carried away in naming names, and quoting precise times and dates in describing some of the more embarrassing events in our (to date) 4.5 years together....so this time I will "soften it up" a bit for the reader. that way, what remains is a factual (and I stress, FACTUAL) account of what has happened, what is happening, and what I hope will happen with us in the future. That way, later, the truth will be out there for all to see. (Like the "X-Files"!) The truth is out there!

I will finish my intro blog with a bit of wisdom. I am very fond of profound and fitting historical quotes...whether it be from Greek or roman Philosophers (Tacitus and Plato being some of my fav's) but up to and including Modern Poets and Generals as well. My "penchant" for these quotes, and how I let them shape my prose and thinking, had me tagged when I was an Active Duty Army Officer, "The Philosopher Warrior". here is todays quote for thought:

  "He Who Loses Wealth Loses Much, He Who Loses a Friend Loses More But
He Who Loses His Courage Loses All"

Miguel de Cervantes
1547-1616
