My Life: Experience

Well I started a new category, “My Life”. All posts about my life, or whats going on currently in my life will be in this category, pretty self-explanitory…. I hope.

Still no luck finding a job, the whole process feels 10x harder than when I was out here the first time. Everyone seems to be too wrapped up in the holidays, but then again, so am I.

I have to look at the time I lived in CA as experience, not as wasted time. It was the first time actually living away from home, 2.500+ miles away no-less. I can’t let anyone tell me I failed, even though I feel defeated, none of my friends have attempted what I’ve done, at least I went out and did it. I’m going to miss California, It’s my second home. One day I hope to have a house on each coast. My mission now is to pretty much, when I get home, to recuperate. Get back on my feet as best as I can, and try to repair my credit. Paying rent, a car payment, a cell phone payment, Utilities and Insurance suck.

In CA possession is 9/10ths the law, but bills in CA are a 100% a guaranteed ass raping.

Instead of flying back to VA, like I used to do when I came out to visit Maggie, I get to drive home. According to Google maps it’s a 2,600 mile drive. Should take me around 4 days. She’s worried, but I guess any guys girlfriend would be scared if their boyfriend drove alone that long. I look forward to it, its just more experience, something to take in, reflect if you will. At least I will be home for Christmas, for a while there I wasn’t going to be able to, but thankfully now I will.

In other news, Mag’s grandfather isn’t in too great of shape. He’s back in the hospital with kidney failure. Everyone is expecting 6 months, but I don’t know why they keep saying that, the doctor hasn’t said anything yet. He’s a great guy, very much a man’s man. Seeing him pass will be heartbreaking, hopefully the ol’ guy has more fight in him.
