Need for a New Direction

So as of yesterday, I am unemployed. It is a new feeling. I haven’t been without a job at all in over four years. The frightened feeling hasn’t set in yet. Just determination. I am searching for a new job and working on my resume. I will apply at some two-bit places until I can find something more substantial. It is funny, I am still happier now than I was being a restaurant manager. I just need to make sure I have a steady flow of cash by December. I have enough to cover rent and payments of stuff, so I’m not freaking yet.

Future housing if I stay unemployed

I have been dog sitting all week. I can say that Nikki and I have had ups and downs, but she’s too cute to dislike. By ups and downs, I mean she poops a lot. A lot. I also raised my voice too loud at her one morning and she wouldn’t go near me. My relationship with Pook is just stronger. If he misbehaves, his punishments are like getting burrito’d in a blanket because I know he doesn’t care for scolding. I think I taught Nikki the no-bite command. I hope so.

Miss Nikki on Photo Booth

I am looking at Lisa and Elliott’s back yard. It’s a nice back yard. I miss having things like a yard. I am hopeful for the future because I know I believe in myself. I might be the only one, save my mom, who does. It is a really good feeling. I am watching some terrible movie with Joshua Jackson, Devon Sawa and Sarah Chalke. It’s called Robin of Locksley. It’s about some kid named Robin (Sawa) who goes to a boys private school called Locksley. It just does all the Robin Hood shit in a boys school. It’s pretty terrible.

Terrible shitty movie i

I don’t know why I submit myself to such terrible things. I plan on more frequent updates until I find myself too busy again.

No Weigh Katy Perry

On certain days I skip my morning work out. I usually only do this if I woke up sick or didn’t get enough sleep. Today was one of those days. I plan on working out in the morning instead. My current work out consists of walking a mile and lifting weights. I need to be more consistent.

I’m going to try and focus this blog on my goals of self improvement. I’m trying to improve my spirituality, my cleanliness and my health. I figure all three of these combined will set me on the right path to the inevitable (which i will not clarify at this moment). I last weighed 238 after losing some pounds. I will have to check again after I work out this week. My overall goal is 50 pounds.

As far as pop culture lately, I’ve been kind of behind. I’m trying to get back into watching quality television programs, good films and listen to enjoyable music. Lately I’ve been “buggin’ on some” crappy dance/pop. I have managed to get Stew to share the Prince and that is fun. I also have been spending some time growing a relationship with Katy Perry. I originally disliked her for being annoying, but if there’s one thing I love is an annoying cute girl. I think she’s still a less awesome zooey

Tonight’s episode of House was good. Damn that Jodi for getting me hooked.
