Could my resolve finally be coming back???
Today was a VERY good day for me regaining the ambition that I somehow lost for several months now. It follows up on the coattails of a big week in general, some ways it was very bad, others good.

Camping!
I've been out for the past six days at the same spot I've been to now for nine years straight. I gotta say, it was amazing. I did it all with no computer, no MP3's, no TV, movies or any of that rubbish. Six days of getting out in the wild, shooting pictures, partying like crazy, listening to good music, walking and talking, and even a little ( Read more... ) -
Wake up, jackass! YOU CAN'T BREATHE!
Scariest thing ever happened this morning just before 5, although I'm sure I had been dealing with this problem for at least an hour prior!
I had this dream that I was at HFCC taking care of some stuff and suddenly I found myself having this breathing problem that occurs from time to time. I started running and doing other things to exert extra ( Read more... ) -
Movement 2008 - Day 1
First day was like pulling teeth to get myself out of here to begin with. I got stick and tired of calling everybody I knew and either getting no answer at all or getting a runaround about why they couldn't attend. By the time I actually got out of the house, it was really late and I had about two mostly unenjoyable hours at the fest. The music was ( Read more... ) -

This is why you keep plastics AWAY from the stove!
My god, if there isn't anything like pure unadultered dioxin to wake you up in the morning!
That's exactly what I had to wake me up this morning, too. I put my water on to boil for coffee and jumped in the shower, only to get a shout from my mom that there was a fire. Turns out that I turned on the WRONG burner and the one that was turned on had a ( Read more... ) -
Demolition Man
Whew! I won't be needing any assignments from the temps for a little while at least! My uncle called me up one day with my favorite type of job that he does. Demolition, baby! It's the perfect thing, too. It's basically gonna last at least a few weeks or so since this job is gonna be really big. The owners of the place gave us a month to complete ( Read more... ) -
This time is useless for any other purpose
I've got around 70 minutes before I need to be awake for tomorrow's assignment at Mama LaRosa's Foods, so there's very little I can really do with this time than put in an update on my LJ which has been whole heartedly neglected lately.
The last several weeks have been good, bad and ugly. I went from working out very consistently to not working ( Read more... ) -
Employment madness, with a little touch of HD!
The past week has been insane. Seriously friggin insane. Tuesday of last week, I made my last call to MARVIN. Great, two days until my potential final bit of income... Well, the next day, I even picked up an application at G. Philips in the YMCA looking for a little bit of employment. Thursday, that fateful MARVIN check arrived. The last one I'll ( Read more... ) -
Stabbing forward to 2008
Here it is again. The beginning of the very last day of the year. This time it's 2007. This year's been one massive financial mess if there ever was one and it's really tested my confidence but every time it's been tested, it's come out on top. I dealt with losing a job that's been my main vein of income for the past nine years and somehow I've ( Read more... )
