Lately
It’s been a bit since I last wrote on here. I’ve been up to a lot. Having my wisdom teeth removed, updating my electronics, upgrading my lifestyle, seeing a therapist, looking for a girlfriend, looking for a new job and all the while still working at the same place.
It’s good money where I’m at now and for all the crap and confusing mixed signals I’ve given them...

Suit yourself. Stand for something. Don’t fit in. Don’t scream out....

Tour of Beer
So I have found a new calling! I realized “Wow, I really like trying new things!” and paired it with “I kinda like beer.” to come up with “I’m gonna start having one new beer every day, save the caps and mosaic them onto my wood desktop to create something awesome!”
So it shall begin. A Tour of Beer so to speak. I’ll try to put up a picture of the...

For your urban trek.
Found on Mission Bicycle Company’s website. I’m not one for gears, external or internal, but this is awesome!

This door gets heavier every day.
– Were the words of a coworker one morning some time ago while coming in through the employee entrance. I didn’t realize the significance of these words until now. That door really is heavy. I remember thinking so at the time. In the end that line has carried a much deeper meaning through my...
Start-ups →
Makes me want to do my own start-up. Only a year and a half in the real world of working and already I can’t stand this sense of a bureaucracy above my head that I have to wait for to respond to every request and every e-mail. I’d like to feel in control of my own destiny. It won’t be long. I promise. Gotta work through some loans and my destiny is this.
Energy
I’m going to the gym today. Need to work out and feel more energized. I need to be healthier so I’m gonna drink water only every day for a while (except the juices I need to finish in my fridge). No more caffeine, teas, sodas or even alcohol. I want to do a system cleanse because I’m having constipation issues and gaining fat layers and it’s all causing me nausea and...

The Intelligence/Experience Divide
Working in manufacturing in the “real world” after graduation has been a particularly enlightening learning experience. Although it has been incredibly stressful growing up into adulthood and responsibility, I’ve gained a lot from this. I have plenty of moments on a daily basis where I learn things about life that my parents, both having spent time in manufacturing jobs, never...

Naked Resignation →
I think this well describes where I’m at right now as a 20-something in a job that I don’t care much for in the boonies of NC. Maybe I can use this article to convince my parents of my feelings?

Was inspired to write one of these hehe.
They rather hold their bulky camera, than hold hands with you.
On a romantic date, you’ll watch the sun go down and think “Wow this is gorgeous” and they’ll go “mirror lock, tripod, and stop down f/8 at 1/125.”
You’ll never be able to enjoy tv,…
TRUE LIFE.
Hmmm
So what ever happened to posting about “Get a Job Day blahblahblah”? I stopped looking pretty much. I’ve become this stagnating time waster. I’m hooked on the great cash flow my current job provides and I’m just burning through every check buying up sweet electronics, upgrades and trips around the country (when I get time off that is!). But when I come back to work...
