It's been a rough couple weeks.
Wow, where to start...
Started my job about 3 weeks ago. It's been, going ok. It's fun at times, dumb during others. I wish I was doing more sometimes, and less othertimes. If that makes any sense.
It's complicated, because I'm working with 2 other guys. One of them is the owner, and the other one is the owners, best friends, son in law. No real way I can compete there. And this guy can be a fun, and nice guy, but he's controlling, he only likes doing things his way. And with me being the operations manager for the store, you'd think I'd have some say in how things should start happening, but he feels that being the "store manager" he has more say and know how as to why a hp 78 needs to be spun out first and then filled with 19ml of ink and then test it when really you can just ultra sonic it for 10 seconds, foot print it, fill it with 23 ml of ink, let it sit for 10 min with nozzle rocket in a clip, and then test it, and it prints perfect everytime. LOL. if that made any sense to anyone else, then you're cooler then me. ;-) We'll see how this job goes, but I don't see much room for advancement with this guy always being right above me, and most of my suggestions are being overthrown because this guy seems to know more.
Second, I've officially started doing contract work with The Wright Institute for Life Long Learning (The company Hannah is working for) So far so good. Just simple web development work. Supposedly they are hiring for a full time IT Network Admin, which is exactly what I want to do, and where I feel I belong. Alas, that puts me in the unconfortable position of having to choose between a job I'm at right now, and feel committed to, or going to a new job, that i'd rather be at, and is willing to pay me more for doing something I'm great at and love doing. Hmmmm.... Hmmmm.... seems like an easy decision. But it's usually the simple things in life, that end up being more complex.
I was on the bus the other day coming home from work (just taking it on a short trip over the bridge I normally walk over because it was cold and I wanted to get home soon) to the EL, and this guy in the back is sitting there screaming about pussy. LOL
I was walking down the sidewalk next to my house this morning on my way to work, and 3 pidgeons were on the grown doing their bird thing, and then, when I walked up to them, the looked like they went into attack mode, and 3 of them floated up into the air, 2 behind on each side of "the leader" in the middle, so what do I do, I dodge and cover my face and head with my hands like a 4 year old girl as if these birds are preparing to shit on me and then peck my eyes out. Looked like it anyways.
Went to the Nutcracker last week, that was fun. Got all dressed up, made a night of it, so to say ;-) There will be more of that soon.
I'm desperatly needing to sell my car, but at least I'm making some decent bank now, so I don't have to worry about paying for a car I don't use. Ever. Seriously, I've used it 4 times since I moved out here 2 months ago. It just sits on the side of the street, collecting bugs, snow, birds, large mammals, and weird old people with stirofoam cups. Too bad my insurance, tags and plates expire this month.. hmmm.. need to do something about that... ummm. tomorrow. lol
/break
Faded with color,
Still one with pride.
I march along,
Continually shattered,
With no reason why.
Walking with my head up,
Walking with it straight.
No one knows,
What happened that day.
....
Theres still a cause to dance.
/endbreak
It's been busy, and only bound to get busier.
I'm sure most of you that will read this know what it's like to notice that feeling...
That feeling of something different, about to sweep over you.
The evergrowing involuntary sense of metamorphoses that happens to us all. And some point. And most of the time, at many different points, throughout our entire life.
Sometimes it's exciting.
Sometimes it's sad.
But life is about creating yourself.
Creating yourself
Into whatever you want.
That's all you have to do.
That's all you ever have to do.
That's what I'm about to do.
And that's all I want from you.
I miss everyone back in CSprings / Denver.
Happy New Year everyone.
(raises his glass)
This ones for you.
(raises his glass)
This ones to the future

PS. My brother has been with his girlfriend / fiance for over 6 years now. on the night of Christmas, he was thrown out of his soon-to-be mother in laws housw, after moving from Pennsylvania to Texas, over somethings as stupid as his dog being "too dirty" and petty shit like that. He practically took a bus from Texas to CSprings in pajamas with no money. I can remember just a year and a half ago, this guy sitting in my apartment telling me how he was going to move to Pennsylvania to be with his girlfriend.
A year and a half...
That's all it takes.

I can feel the energy 2006 will bring...
It's all going to be so interesting.
Hold on tight
