Well where do I start. I guess I should start with my friend Feifel. I am happy to say the he escaped Kansas and now lives in Idaho. He got a great job as an assistant manager for a Radio Shack their. Way to go Feifel, I’m very proud of you.<\/p>\n
I guess next I could say that I lost a friend, someone that I considered a brother. Jason left for Atlanta a week ago, I found out that his last day was Sunday the 21st of August. My sister in law told me and I was pretty upset. I messaged him but I didn’t get any response. I’m trying to decide what hurts most, the fact that he left with out so much as a good by or the fact that he left without any word at all (almost like he was sneaking away). I guess everyone has their reasons and someday I hope to find out his.<\/p>\n
Then recently my mother lost her job. Normally people that loose their jobs are upset for a few days then they get over it and move on. My mother on the other hand was really tore up over the whole ordeal. I’m probably going to get yelled at for writing about this event but I guess their are always negatives when writing about life. So anyway, she is really tore up that she got canned and no amount of reassurance is cheering her up. One thing that has made me stronger in this work world is the realization that I am not invincible and that if I don’t keep my nose clean and my act (relatively) straight then I get my ass kicked to the curb. I think that some of the times that I have been fired I truly deserved it, some of the other times was purely politics and I don’t play politics. However, as my father has recently pointed out, I tend to turn the worst of events into the best thing that has ever happened. My last job was the perfect example of that. I left my job due to some personal reasons and some political reasons, I was out of work for almost six months and this put a hugh strain on my wife and I’s relationship. We worked threw everything and our relationship is now stronger than it has ever been. We also have a better grasp of our finances and we don’t “Needlessly” throw money away like we used to. I also have a better job (I don’t make as much money but money’s not everything)with less stress and a better overall work environment. My stress level has diminished so much that my Doctor recently took me off my solved because it was making me sick and I apparently didn’t need it any more. He said that my body was beginning to reject my current level of medication and that it wasn’t necessary for me to be on it. This has made my wife happy because she never liked me being on it to begin with. Others that know me are probably going to stay far far away because I tend to be somewhat of a prick with out my meds, Feifel can attest to that. I have been trying to point out to my mother that things happen for a reason and that if she lets this tear her up she will never be successful again. However, if you look to the bright side of things and believe that this is good and that you can overcome this and make a better life then you will and it will be everything you want.<\/p>\n
Other things that have been going on. My friend Branden and I are currently training to be firemen for the City of Wichita and my alliance in OGame is up to 10 members now. Other than that the one thing that I thought would never happen finally happened, I have been suckered into playing a role playing game. Anyone that knows me knows that I despise role playing games and have never wanted to play role playing games. I took on a favor for Branden and drew his character for his “Rifts” game. I decided that I was going to draw my character from the stuff I had learned from the books he let me borrow, I guess that meant that I was going to play. Now I am drawing everyone’s characters. I love the characters and the books are pretty cool, character development is something of a passion of mine and I love that form of creativity. I’m just not sure how I will like the whole roll play aspect of everything, guess well see.<\/p>\n
Other than that I don’t have much else. I’m sorry mom if my blog offends or hurts you it wasn’t meant to, it was meant to inspire and energize!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
