(no subject)
It's been a few since I last posted. I should try to keep this weekly if not daily or every other daily...
I've been considering military seriously (most likely National Guard), provided I don't get discarded like a used douche before I even get in... I'm overweight and not exactly the healthiest candidate for the job, but I can get there, if they'll give me the chance.
I still want to get into blacksmithing as a career, but I don't have the resources to build my own forge, and I know of a guy who could at least give me pointers and stuff, but I've yet to screw up the ballz to dial him up, because I still feel a bit intimidated... Like trying to approach a professor at college. Which is probably why I screwed up in school in the first place. Didn't talk to the professors, and didn't actively seek to better my education.
Stupid economy is keeping me out of a regular job, so I'm stuck here on unemployment... Walmart isn't interested (apparently because they let me go, they're not too interested in rehiring me)... Gamestop and Petsmart aren't either. I'd apply for a union job with the carpenter's union or the painters union, but both require an affidavit that I'll work at 35+ feet on or off scaffolding... I freeze on fire ladders 5 rungs off the truck, how am I supposed to function at twice that height? Harness or not, there's a strong sense of impending doom that surrounds being that high off the ground, and it's called a phobia for a reason... that reason being acrophobia is an unreasoning fear of heights.
I'm still hunting for a job though, and I'm not going to give up, but I still just wish it wasn't taking so much time to find work.
On a cheerier note, my daughter rebekah, at 3 1/2 months old now weighs 14.5 lb and is 24 1/2" long... she's grown nearly triple her weight and she's not even half a year old... She's coming along nicely, a bit ahead of schedule for her birth size and weight, and she laughs and smiles all the time. She babbles every now and then, and sometimes cries or laughs in her sleep. I wonder what babies dream about.
I have to go because, well, it's late and my thoughts are getting more stringy as I continue...
So, good night.
