NEW BLOG ...

I'm changing over my blog to my MYSPACE page. The direct link is above.

This is it.

It's been a week since I moved. I haven't really unpacked. I'm living with relatives who have 2 young kids and a rowdy (untrained) dog. I HAVE to drive to do mostly anything here. I don't have a job ... yet.

My "new life" is just full of excitement, eh? I can't complain really. At least I'm alive and I don't have to pay rent for the time being. This is all such a big deptarture from my "old life." Either way I look at it -- there's no turning back. It'll all work out. I HAVE TO MAKE IT WORK OUT.

This is TRULY it!

La la land.

I'm here. Lot's of people. Lot's of cars. Lot's of freeways. WOW.

Moving On

This weekend was pretty much the start of me FINALLY getting myself in the direction of a positive change in my life. As of today-ish, it is officially the beginning of the 7-month mark since I quit my job at JetBlue. In the meantime, I've pretty much done a whole lot of "nothing", yet seemingly "everything" depending on your point of view. The results of which have amounted to me just turning 38 years old, barely surviving on a part-time job, spending all of my savings, and finally succombing to moving back to my parents' home in the suburbs because of my inability to afford rent! Oh yeah -- let's not forget the sprinklings of "friends" issues that I seem to get myself tangled into here and there [Let me gather my thoughts on that for a later posting ...].

Wow. You can only ask yourself, "Where to from here?" I'm not sure if this is actually rock bottom for me, but the these changes that I talk about basically involve moving and finding a new career! If only it were that easy ... to make a blog entry that made any sense! LOL. This is a thought that is definitely to be continued ...

another year older ...

yep -- my birthday is coming up on the 29th. wow -- that means if i was born in 1968, i'm going to be turning 38, right?!? lord have mercy -- i've been dreading getting older for so long that i lost track of how old i really am. for the longest time, i thought i was ALREADY 38 and turning 39. yikes -- now that's scary...and sad...depending on your point of view. ;-)

Losing touch.

It's so easy to get "wrapped up" in things. For some, devoting attention to one thing could be a result of avoiding another. In the scheme of things more recent to me, I'm definitely guilty of that! In the past few months, I've lost touch with a lot of things. Family -- friends -- MYSELF, really. I've been definitely going through a lot of things from the last time I've made a blog posting. There's a (sketchy) saying I've heard going around, "Without going through it, you'll never get to the other side." Hmmm -- words of wisdom or pure non-sense? Hell if I know! I'll just go back to MySpace! LOL.
