The New Year
...Well, I wish I could say that the new year has been very eventful and fortunate to me, but I cant. I also wish I could say I'm a successful person at the moment, but thatd be a lie as well...I suppose it has been quite the wild ride though..
Tattoo's, Firing from work, loss of vehicle, gain of business without a gain of business...Where to begin?
Well I suppose I can start from the top..as I had reported before, I was fired from PC & More Inc. for not doing what the dictator asked without question...(Many of you are aquianted with Mike) Well just a few short weeks ago, I was scanning www.wsfa.com and i stumbled across a rare gem of news....a gem so rare, it simply HAS to be shared so let me get the exact article.....AHA
http://www.wsfa.com/Global/story.asp?s=2797761 there we go...it seems Mike, oh excuse me, NOT Mike...Mr Ibrahim Mohammed Jallad is his legal name..Well Mr Jallad has been involved in alot of dirty, and bad things. And all I can really say there is...isnt Karma a bitch? Now, I only say this because I too, have felt that sting (and i'm sorry for everything girlie...and I mean you...as in the only person I know of that reads this blog...) Well, read up if youre curious...it was entertaining to me. Still havent receieved a paycheck and I dont see a W-2 in my mailbox either, so I suppose he is just going to bury himself with illagalities..oh well thats old news.
New news..I have aquired my very first tattoo. Its a symbol a very close friend of mine drew up for me to symbolize my suffix on my name (to the uninitiated, I am the 4th) and I had it placed upon my right arm. I will most likely post it up as my new face of LJ very soon. Granted all the glitz and glamour associated with the body art is gone, it is still a symbol that will stay with me a lifetime, and is something that genuinely sets me apart from my predecesors (III, Jr, and Sr.)
The Geo Metro has officially died at 187K miles..It was having all kinds of performance issues before I took it down for repairs due to oil leaks, poor spark, and other timing issues. Upon completion of the services the car would not time correctly. We had figured it was an electrical issue because the car ran great before...but upon taking it to a trusted electrical shop we have in town, we realized the engine had 10lbs of compression and needs a major top-end rebuild to be the "egg" it once was. So humpty-dumpty is off the wall, as are the 2 other backup vehicles. So my new role is "shade tree mechanic" until I can get at least one vehicle up and running.
The computer business is making me enough to pay my bills and scrape by with a meal or two when a friend wants to hang out, but other than that...life is pretty uneventful. And so I had to make things a bit more eventful, by basically making up an exercise routine which consisted of 25 pushups & situps...and has evolved more into a lap around the block and 40 situps and pushups..It is a trend I began ever since the new year, when I weighed myself and came to the horrible realization that I had hit 280lbs....so my target for now is a solid 220...and last I weighed, I was at a nice feathery (as compared to before) 243...I def feel an improvement in myself, but I just feel like I should have done a before after shot or something for more motivation. I suppose you dont notice the changes in yourself so much as others around you do.
Oh well, theres a more goal-oriented person hiding behind the fuzziness than I realized..Just have to set those goals more I suppose...y'know, to see where ill end up
