Yeah, I don't really know what to say. Just been sitting here thinking where my life went bad. Maybe it was after I moved to Michigan. Maybe it was after I got let go from the ice arena I was working at. Maybe it was after I left Perani's. Maybe it was being hired by MC Sports, or being let go by them. Maybe it was moving to Lansing. I don't know. All I do know is that my life isn't great. I wish things were different. I am dealing with the consequences though.
Moving to Michiga was a tough decision for me. At the time, I thought it was the right choice. I do like the people I've met and the friends I've made out here. I just moved to my 6th different city in Michigan. This time though, I'm on the west side of the state and not in the middle. I recently transferred to Grand Rapids with the company I work for. I hope this is for good. I don't want to move across the state again. At least not on my own. If I move again, I want it to be across town and to a townhouse or condo. No more apartments after this one. Period.
I left some pretty good people at the Lansing location. I made some close friends and have a few very close friends. I already miss Spring, she's what I consider my best friend on the female side. She and I had this rutal where we would go out and just hang out and drink and bullshit. It was easily the greatest times I've had with a female. No pressure, no awkwardness, just drink beer and hang out. I hope she and I continue this tradition, although now it won't be as often.
Then there's Anthony, who I call Cake. Long story. He's one of the coolest guys I've ever met. Laid back and easy going. Easily a cool cat.
My assistants in my department too. KK who loves Seinfeld, Caroline, one of the nicest women I've ever had the pleasure of woorking with, TJ 1 & 2, both cool guys who can hold their own verbally. Even Ryan, great kid with a bright future.
As for someone I haven't seen in quite some time, Autumn. I hope she comes out of her situation ok. I would hate to lose her as a friend. She's one of the sweetest girls you'll ever meet.
I know there are people I forgot in here, but they are never forgotten in my heart. Right now, that's the hard part. trying to put in perspective that I will walk in to work tomorrow and not know a single soul. I walked into the place today and as I came through the doors, it was a weird feeling, the store is set up the same, yet it's just not. I looked at departments and expected one person I knew to walk around the corner, and obviously, that's not the case.
I guess we'll see how it goes. I look forward to the challenge, but I'm hesitant to be as accepting as I was at the last job.
I miss my friends.
