First post since March of '08
Everyone else is putting up livejournal posts, trying to "bring it back" so i figured why not join the bandwagon.
Things aren't horrible at the moment, they could be better, but they could also be a lot worse. I got laid off the week before christmas, so now I'm kind of out of a job. I'm not in school anymore, I stopped going after the spring semester last year. I kind of just sit around and play video games in my spare time, which there is more of now. I still try to keep busy, lots of house work and such. My parents moved into my grandmas house in november, so now I'm living with my sister and her daughter because they moved into my house, it's nice to have a change of pace. I'm taking a civil service exam in april to try and be a new york state corrections officer, if I get the job I'll most likely have to move mid or down state, hopefully I'll be able to get placed in new york city. The move wont be forever, it's only temporary until I can build up enough seniority to get transferred back home. I could never move away from here forever...
Hmmm, I actually could never leave western new york forever. I always thought I wanted to, there's so much about buffalo that I dislike. Lots of memories that I don't need reminding of. Lots of weather that pisses me off. But there are so many things about the area that Id miss. Family, friends, delaware park in the fall, 8 dollar baseball games (bisons), hanging out during the bills games (amongst other die hard fans who get as heartbroken as I do when they lose), the psych center at night, laying in my driveway at 3 in the morning looking at the stars on a clear night, late night walks with friends, chicken finger subs, loganberry, the music scene (buffalo seriously has one of the best metal scenes around). The more I think about it the more I realize that there is no place in the world that I would rather live, in my opinion the rest of the world is nothing more than a good vacation spot.
I'm happy. I find it much easier to smile these days. a big part of this is because of my friends, of which I have the best in the world. I like myself now, more than I think I ever have. I'm happy with my life and with who I am. I have hopes for the future, I have plans, things that I want to do. I'm ready to live my life.
