    I never knew how bad some areas were here until today…

  • Luck

    I’m always known for some kind of stupid luck, either winning penny slots, or finding a really good parking spot in the city.  Sadly I haven’t been lucky with everything else.

    New job, new car, apparently bad luck strikes it.  My car just got keyed for no reason the other night, everyone thinks it was someone out to get me.  It was no accident because the scratch is pretty deep, maybe a price fix. 

    The new job isn’t bad but i’m not loving it.  Its just a better job, than the one I was coming from.  I know I shouldn’t be complaining but I just thought there would be so much more to look forward to.  I guess I really haven’t been looking forward to anything.  The job is 9-5 with an hour lunch break.  I take my lunch break to divide up the day, then I just countdown to when I can leave, and a 42 mile commute each way doesn’t make it fun either.

    Love life? eh can we say there isn’t really much going on?  I keep meeting some new girls, but they all hit the areas that i’m not looking for. Either too young, fobby/international, or not local to NY. I even had 2 of them wanted to get hitched or settled down… (eeks)  Honestly i’m not scared of settling down, in fact I would really like to just get married like everyone else.  But I think I’m still pretty torn up from my longest relationship. 

    Even though i wasn’t really at fault after 4 years, I really did care about her even if she screwed me over several times.  I’m only starting to realize now, that I avoid doing certain things because of my longest ex.  After that ex I did date 3 other girls exclusively, but neither of them lasted long.  They were no where close to being similar to my ex.  I’m glad they weren’t, I got the chance to really see what kind of girl I was looking for.  I already ended up breaking a few hearts this year.  I didn’t mean to but they weren’t a fit, and they wanted to try making things work.  It seems like I was the negative one in not wanting to even try, but I just knew they were nice to be around with but nothing more than that. 

    On the brighter side of things, I’ve been taking care of myself a bit more.  Exercising, biking as much as I can.  Watching out on what i’m spending, even though I’m spending a lot more than normal, but i’m conscience of it. 

    I wonder how things will be in a couple months from now.

  • Quitting

    So I’ve quit work, a Job that I worked at for 3 years Finally!

    Some might say oh it was a great job, working with exotic cars, and getting to play with them.  Taking photos in a photobooth, but I wasn’t happy there, with work, with the same old inventory work I was doing there.  It wasn’t a Challenge, I wasn’t learning anything new, or progressing with my career. I told them I was looking at other jobs.  The boss said to me you free to look at other jobs, but I think we give you a fair salary, and you won’t find anything better….  wow pretty messed up, they were relying on me for everything for their stupid website, and photos.  They only cared about themselves.  Never helped me or my coworkers out when our cars broke down.  Just asked us why we were late, and why we left 15 mins after 5? but couldnt stay to help them set up for an event, that they told us about last minute at 5 o clock….

    I hated this place, and people will always tell me work is always pretty bad.  I can tell them that I have never worked in a such a place that was unprofessional, racist, and ridiculous as here.

    When I quit, they had the nerve to accuse me that I sabotage their photos, and website.  Nope the bosses wife was reluctant an incompetent to learn anything that I taught her.  So they company tried to threaten that they sue me and my future employer.  Wow really, so I actually talk to the parent company and fixed things handed the hard copies of the photos, signed a contract and wished them luck on their own.  I knew they needed me, and left at the worst time.  Honestly they didn’t need me if they would learn themselves how to do it.  I also left them hanging with no photographer, but they didn’t want to help pay for equipment, or give me a budget to work with, so what was the point.  I was suffering there, I wasn’t able to be myself and work hard at what I always liked to do.  I was cruising by and wasting time at this point. 

    Glad I left, and glad i’m loving my job at Acura and appreciated to be part of a team.  The commute is longer, but I can’t complain there is no traffic doing a reverse commute to long island.  Going home as well is a breeze and now I can always stop at home to check on my parents.  Life is turning around for me, I went through a pretty bad period of time after my surgery.  I was lost and couldn’t find my way or friends.  I just took everything day by day, but enough about the sad part.  I can say this year things are changing but I have to focus and make sure I make it happen.

    Working out since day one in January.  I know I slacked off a few days because I was sick or not feeling well, but I also have to work on my diet and eating out.  I already cut portions down which is good, and started packing lunch as well.  Lets hope I keep it.  I also bought a bike and plan on biking everyday when the weather gets better.  Since I will be getting rid of my car soon, my new car i’m going to try and drive it a bit less.  Probably not going to happen since my 05 tsx has 213,000 miles on it. 

    I think shortly I might be quitting this for good.  I don’t really have much left on this.  People are gone, and some don’t even come back here, so maybe whats the point in keeping xanga?

    Sorry guys, but hate to say it I might just quit.

  • New Year and Different Things

    So Since the new year a lot has happened, I also changed a lot of things about my life, not sure why or what really hit me.  New years thing for me to do is stop complaining about the future if i’m not doing anything about it.  So far i’ve been good, I kind already messed some things up already, but I guess it cant be avoided.  Started exercising daily at least 3x a week.  Trying to figure out this whole job situation, as well as car situation.  I think its reaching both their ends.  Sad to say I don’t want to get rid of my car, but its a headache its a pain and it doesn’t work 100%.  Other than that pretty much been trying do new things on the side from work.  Maybe find a way out or maybe quit my photography altogether and do something more stable.  Sadly I do not know now, i’m kind of just taking every day one step at a time and hoping for the best.
