Welcome to Blogetery.com. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

loaded some new music

yeah sorry i was messin around with my posts and thought that maybe by using tag breaks in the older posts that it’d shorten up my blog and make it look cleaner.as you can see everything just went to the penthouse floor of hell.  all my stuff got mashed together and i can sit there and edit the crap out of it, and it goes back to penthouse.  bitch.so if you’re just coming on and you are mad because my first few posts are all mashed up and look like absolute crap, send an email to wordpress will ya? 

so it’s that time of year again - prepare some thing or a list of things that you want to accomplish in the new year only to throw the list in the trash can the day after.i would rather have goals more than resolutions.  resolutions have a do-or-die taste to it.  so i’m going to name my top 10 goals for 2008 just to see if i end up making them later on

1. find a job (hey it’s realistic)
2. create a painting on canvas
3. take a road trip out of state
4. post 500 entries in my blog
5. create a guided meditation audio
6. go on a date (or two)
7. go back to school
8. purchase something over 500 dollars without a credit card
9. host a holiday party
10. and the ultimate most popular goal - lose weight

i think my goals are quite realistic and i think i can easily finish them at the year’s end. now it’s your turn - post a comment and share your 10 goals for 2008. 

so yeah - hi.after trying to read my last two posts post the other day, i come to realize that it is really hard to read.  i’m guessing that it was just too small to handle, for me anyways.  so i changed it up with a new look and a new banner (i loooove it) and im feelin groovy.more new things to follow  :) 

So now you know about my wonderful story that led me to this fabulous journey that some call unemployment.  I really call it a wonderful vacation.I think you should all try being unemployed - I mean, come on.  The whole state is doing it.  It’s the latest craze.  It’ll make you feel good.Not convinced?  Good - I’ll keep all the unemployment to myself then.____________________________________________________________________Ok - so let’s get semi-serious for a second.  Since my life has been led to unemployment, it has actually been quite a journey in many aspects of my life.  I’m talking spiritually, physically, emotionally, and even psychologically.  To translate that to easier terms ~ I have a lot of time on my hands folks.So during my days of unimportant bliss - I have decided to do some research on different things I’d like to incorporate into my life.  You know - when you’re working and you come home all scatter brained and can’t even remember if you need to pee when you get home - you know you don’t have time for recreational activities.  So therefore - I have myself now practicing meditation.  (Edit:  I almost typed in medication - now that would have been a topic starter right there)To be honest - I have never felt so relaxed in my life.  Things that are problematic to me now almost seem non-existant — I just pretend that negative energy isn’t there anymore.  It’s 6-foot deep shit folks.So - take an hour of your day - get into your itunes store and type “guided meditation” and download some free meditation podcasts.  Some are very helpful.  You can even listen to it as you are about to go to bed - guaranteed you will fall asleep if you’re having trouble doing so.And if you have an iPod and a job - then better yet - download the podcasts to your iPod and listen to it during lunch.  It’s now proven that relaxing your body during a lunch time (or even taking a small half-assed nap) will give you a boost for the rest of the day.And you will also notice that I added some meditation-ish music to the site now.  If you wanna know what relaxing is like - listen to the music - sit back - and relax.BTW - If your idea of meditating is stabbing people or humping unanimous objects - please seek professional help immediately.

This is a quote/poem (however you take it) I found that I just loved so much that I’m going to share it:

“Gather the curtains ~ Gather the darkness
Gather me if only for a second
Gather the seconds ~ for soon it could be going
Gather the blessings ~ for the years are showing”

Deep stuff huh?

Ah, yes…the blog.  I’m glad to get one of these again.   I don’t remember what happened to my last one.  I think it fell into a burning ring of fiyah.Anyways, I hope you like the music.  I plan to update it every one in awhile to change it up.  Seeing how I’m limited on creating my own personalizations to the blog look, the music is definitely something I have control over.  I think I’ll change it up once a week as I write more posts.So not a whole lot going on in life right now, still looking for a job.  I’ve been jobless for almost 3 months now.  I did apply at some really cool places here in GR so we’ll see how that goes.  I am also looking for jobs in Chicago and may go down to visit to see if I really would like to take the adventure to move out there soon.  I think I may try to stay in GR for a couple years to see what happens.  I love GR so much that I would hate to give it up for another city.  But if this city cannot give me what I want, then I’m gonna slap the door on my ass on the way out.Christmas is going to be kind of boring…Honestly, I’m getting sick of Christmas with the family.  I think the family has lost sight to what it really means.  I’ve been having these thoughts lately how too many people are so religiously obsessed with presents.  Christmas is not about presents (although it can be considered about giving).  I am thinking about volunteering somewhere in town where I can serve meals to the homeless or something of that nature.My family itself is so dysfunctional now we can barely hold an event together without going into a debate/fight during June about who is buying for who.  Since we have about 20 people show up for the party, we put everyone’s name in a basket and draw out who is buying for who so that way it will be even.  But then after that’s all said and done, all the parents want to give all the kids (there’s like 5 or 6 kids) more than one present.  So then it turns into a huge unfair game that one kid will get more presents than someone else.I had a idea to change it up this year, but the family shot me down like a trophy-winning buck.  I made the idea that Christmas should be more than just presents.  So, why don’t we make a list of everybody’s favorite stores they like to shop at, and everyone goes and buys a 25 dollar gift card.  We would divide the gift cards in 3 different games,  one for Men’s stores, Women’s stores, and Children’s stores.  Then we can play some sort of a game to win a prize.   The guy’s could do a poker tournament or something, and the girls could do a trivia, and the kids could play some cute game.Oh hell no, nobody cared about that idea.I’m looking forward to my own Christmas when I get my own place.  I want to invite people that I know that are not a part of the family, and have a huge dinner feast party with loads of wine to go around…you know me, I love my wine.So I would consider this to really be one of very few personal posts about myself.  I plan to have you come back to read things that are more in a humor nature, since that’s the best I can offer.  Lucky for you, I’m not cheap and easy, but I’m free!
