Lessons Learned

I heard a Fall Out Boy song I've never heard before. I made me really happy.

Dreams are my curse and my (hopeful)redemption. 

I'm reading a book right now called EX-Heroes by Peter Cline. It's pretty good. Honestly, it started off a little slow and I was regretting buying it but then I forced myself to keep going, I have a hard time reading stuff that's not Harry Potter sometimes, and it's actually awesome. I'm almost finished and planning on buying the rest of the series.

On a related note I've decided to start buying books I like. I'm a writer and I'm hoping that people will buy my books. So I should support other authors. I'm going to start using a larger chunk of my income for books. Hell yeah!

Life is slowly teaching me the lesson that you can't make other people like you more than they are willing to. You can't make other people be better friends with you. You just have to accept the love others are willing to give and live with that.

I'm So Heavy In Your Arms

I have a couple job leads I'm actually a bit excited about. Mostly because they're full time. I have two part time jobs but it just seems kinda stressful to be going to two different places when I could just get all my hours in one place. Plus these jobs both pay better than one or both of my current jobs. The only thing that makes me stumble a bit when going for new jobs is that the jobs I currently have are both fall back jobs. They're the jobs you get when all else has failed. So if I quit and go somewhere else and it doesn't work out, where do I go? But I suppose that's part of the danger of life. You can't always have a safety net, no matter how much you try. Blah.

On the writing front, I just wrote AROUND five hundred words. Give or take a solid hundred. Probably take. DON'T JUDGE ME! I had a lot on my plate today! I even worked out even though I have been feeling tired lately and didn't want to! So you can take that judgment where the sun don't shine. Of course I'm referring to under a shade tree.

Sometimes I say crazy stuff that makes total sense in my head but then people tell me I'm crazy. I'm totally not! Trust me, I got this.

I've been thinking about trying to write for a website. I would really enjoy that but I have always stumbled because I feel my writing style is not professional enough. I don't pay a lot of attention to the rules of the English language (see entire history of this blog) and I'm pretty sloppy about stuff because I just want to create and not be constricted sometimes! But then I realized HEY! That's what an editor is for. So I think I'm going to try for that. Thanks to my lovely wife and my father for the encouragement on that front.

This is a site I'm recently dying to see. Not sure where the desire came from but it's growing:

Killing Tonight

I have been playing World of Warcraft like a fiend lately. Like a crazy unhealthy amount. I'm guessing it's me subconsciously trying not to think about the possibility of getting fired tomorrow. MAN this job is stressful. Also some money woes (phones shut off, bills piling up) that have been messing with me seriously.

Last night I had a dream about somebody I used to know. It really messed with my head. I have been feeling off all day because of it. Finally I convinced Miri to go up the canyon with me and I was able to unload about it which helped. Plus getting out of the house. Memories... bah.

I am slimming down again, thank heavens. I've been able to run about a mile three times a week and workout twice a week. Not close to what I was doing before the accident but its a start. Getting there.

Finally I just wrote an AWESOME scene in my book. A kidnap/carchase/gunfight/magical showdown. Nice.
