What the fuck happened?
Okay. Welcome one and all. Thank you for coming, and listening. As happy/funny as my journal usually is (/slight sarcasm), not all of life's updates can be happy.
I am so totally ready for drastic change in the way things have been going. For those of you who don't know, I applied for a job at Landstar Transportation earlier this week. Had a fantastic interview, in my opinion. Made both interviewers crack multiple smiles, in addition to wowing them with my varied work experience. ::flexes:: So all should be taking an upward path, right? I certainly hope so. Regardless, this entry is to list the things I hope to correct.
First and foremost, moneywise I am in dire straits. I was jobless for a month, but not for lack of trying. I just couldn't find a decent job. Got a job at Books-a-Million, as a cafe jockey/"barista", but that's not terribly decent. And it sure as hell isn't paying the bills. Someone stole my credit card number, maxed out my card, Bank One is investigating it currently. So, here I am, two days before Christmas with my only money being the meager tips I make at work. I don't even have my credit card to get groceries if I run out. So, I'm on limited food supply, until Friday when I get paid. Luckily, I can get lunches/gas with my tip money from work, so at least I'm staying regularly fed.
Relationshipwise, I am actually very happy. Nothing to complain about there.
Socially, life is doing okay. Talking to people at work, talking to Mayumi and Emmy, as well as the family. Not doing much by way of self-entertainment, but I'm mellow like that anyway.
Oh, and for those of you who don't know...any and all possibilities of the Save Point happening are now gone. Friend and business partner Jason decided to move to Texas and raise horses. Whittigo tells me that as soon as he scores 300,000 bucks, he's gonna fund me. The awesome part is, I know he fucking means it. For our sake, I hope he wins the lottery, gives me 300k, and keeps 50 million for himself.
All in all, though, I'm not happy in the least. I've got a lot of work ahead of me, and I am itching to do it, but what am I gonna do once I no longer have any debts? The idea of not having an obligation to throw money at is alarming. So, I've begun to dream fantastically. While I work off my debts, I can narrow it down.
PLAN 1: I want, at some point in my life, live in a country where I was not raised speaking their language. I also want to live in another country which speaks some dialect of English. I'm working on a list of nice places to live. After my debt is paid off, I want to travel to these places so that I can find a nice corner of the world to settle in for awhile.
PLAN 2: I pay off my debts, save up money, start my own business. Maybe a tweaked Save Point, maybe something else, maybe an idea I get down the road. Independent of circumstance, Whittigo is an active part, simply because I know he would want to be.
PLAN 3: Pay off debts, go back to school, become a teacher. This is probably the most realistic path, but also the least satisfying, at least to the lizard part of my brain. Lizard brain wants excitement, change, and adventure.
PLAN 4: Whatever the hell other crazy idea I come up with.
So...that's about it right now. I just know I have to get out of this tightness I'm experiencing. Thankfully, I'm receiving word on that tomorrow, I hope.
Oh, by the way...my plans for Team Namako have been revived. =) I've been inspired.
Taco Out.
