Well it's time I updated this bloody thing once more, for reasons of whatever I guess XD. Life is going along great and I'm really enjoying learning more about who I am and why I act the way I do by reading the book "Wild at Heart". It has taught me A LOT about why I act the way I act and it has helped me come to understand that what people think isn't right...well let's just say "They" might be wrong. It's just that men are hardwired differently than women (Which EVERYONE should know but for some reason people don't always understand) Now I'm not out to justify what it is I do (By no means am I saying this), but what I am saying is that what some people MAY find as arrogance is more or less confidence, and THEY are looking at it the wrong way instead of the way it ACTUALLY is (Call it...they're own insecurities are revealed and instead of seeing them they think that others are looking down upon them when it's actually they themselves are having issues and are trying to bring others to their lvl instead of trying to work on their own problems.)
Onto Basketball! I had a good season I must say and I know for a fact I improved TREMENDOUSLY which I'm very proud of myself for ^^. I kept telling myself I'll keep getting better and low and behold I did! I can honestly say if I've learned ANYTHING from that, it's that a positive attitude and believing in yourself and claiming it over and over and over (The power of the spoken word) indeed will happen if you keep saying it. NOW you have understand it's not me saying, I want everyone ELSE to get worse, it's not me wishing OTHERS would change. It's only me changing MYSELF (As this applies to the above part XD) I don't know when the next league starts, but I can't wait. I'm excited I get to play something I DEARLY enjoy and at the same time keep myself in shape and have fun doing something I love ^^.
One other thing I'm happy for is...I'm going to find someone...SOON. Why am I thinking this and HOW did it come about? Well I guess you could say it just hit me one day. Don't know why. I just suddenly felt like, hey, I'm going to find someone wonderful REALLY soon! I just keep speaking it though and I'm sure that it'll come true. (Again see above post :P)
Work is still going as work would ;P. They've implemented mandatory OT so most likely there are going to be days I'm working longer than usual, but honestly it's just 2 extra hours a week, and when I think about it I know I have to focus and energy to do this so I'm not entirely worried about it. Hell I'm not worried about a lot these days O_o;; Now let me explain that a little more in depth because I know that people are going to misunderstand this. I don't worry about stuff I can't CONTROL, like the weather, and other people's thoughts and feelings or actions. What I CAN worry about (If and when I did) would be if I saw something that could potentially cause a LOT of harm to someone and only say my piece if and when it was necassary. Once it was said and the decision was made regardless of what was said I'd let it drop and would quit worrying. Some people complain, "I can't help it! I'm just like that." To that I just shake my head and say, you know what. I said the same thing at one point and I was wrong. The difference is I understood that I could change how I thought of it and did something about it. I'm nobody special and anyone can change their thinking. Some people just refuse to change because it would require being out of their comfort zone and exposing the pain of what it is their fighting through. So most people just complain about the issue instead of focusing on the solution. It's a sad but common thing that happens a lot these days :/
I'm working hard continuing to grow in my business (And I've made decent progress I'm proud to admit and I'll keep tooting my own horn because I'm proud of myself for sticking with it through the crap.) and it will CONTINUE to grow as I make changes to myself and get around people! Most people could take everything I've said as arrogance. Frankly I'll be blunt and say that's hardly the truth, and if they take it that way then that is THEIR problem (Yes I'm saying this because I've had people think I'm being arrogant or somehow BETTER than them with things like this) I'm merely celebrating my own success and I'm proud of myself for being able to achieve such things. I do believe ANYONE who's willing to LISTEN, THINK, and understand that through change you are going to run into painful things that require getting your hands dirty, will understand why I'm proud of myself. Ok enough talking like that XD
I've been working on Wild Arms 3 off and on and I rather enjoy it. It's a simple yet fun game that just gives me a definate challenge as well as decent music to back it up. So I've got a few other games I've been working on but that is the one that's getting the most of my time :D. Second of all I've been on a TORRID pace on writing my fanfics and it's been nice. I've completed 4 chapters on a new fanfic I've been writing ONLY at work, and trust me X_X it's flipping hard for ME to multitask all that. (Even writing this took about 3 hours because of calls XD) so I'm definately pleased.
Aright that about wraps up things going on. It's rather vague but you know me ;) I'm not always up to date on things so...SeeYa!
