Words of My Life

(Read Part 1)

A second later his messenger sounded that Orlando had replied. Sam went back to the messenger screen and read the bad news.

“Dude, Mr. Johnson committed suicide. He went to the store and bought himself a shotgun and some ammunition. Apparently when he got home, he went out to the street, where like seven people were outside doing yard work and stuff, and he shot himself in the head.”

Sam’s eyes glazed over. He thought to himself a million questions, but more than any he asked, “Why?” He replied swiftly with shaking hands, taking in deep breaths trying to stay calm. Johnny was one of his favorite teachers. He was so down to earth, and easy to work with. Sam had just talked to him a few days ago about some computer help. Read the rest of this entry »

I was sad…then angry…then sad… and shocked. Go read this post at Blogging More.

Stumble it, digg it, whatever you feel like doing, but Wow.

A.mazing. I was short for words after reading it. That’s not an easy task. Just like Wow.

I never really watched this guy until recently. In fact, I had never heard of him, but I’ve watched a few of his clips online now. He sure gets into his pieces and has one blunt opinion. I think that’s why I like him. Haha.

Check out this latest clip of him talking about President Bush.

I just wanted to do a quick shout out to all of you mother’s out there and wish you a Happy Mother’s Day. I hope it was great for you all!

Mine wasn’t too bad, we had a big dinner and a bunch of family hung out together. It was a good time.

To Those Who Will Never Know

Johnny died on a Tuesday, at 6:00p.m. His life obviously had become meaningless to himself, but to the people he left behind he meant more than he would ever know. He was not only a father of a bright, brilliant son, but he was a teacher, admired by many.

He took his own life on that Tuesday, leaving a simple note that read, “Tell My Son, I love him.” His death was brutal and took everyone by surprise. He was naturally a strong willed, confident man that never seemed to let problems get in his way. When it came to his son, however, it apparently became too much. Monday, at 4:00p.m. he had lost custody of his child. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been causing some dust to fly as I run around town to try to find a job. It’s not yet brought a whole lot of results, however, which is really aggravating. I’ve had a few interviews in the last few days though, so we’ll see how those turn out. It’s very interesting how I no longer get nervous in interviews though. I guess I am comfortable with myself and my experience and know I am a likable person (in that non-arrogant way of course. :D), so I no longer dwell on that type of stuff.

Today’s interview was interesting because it was with 8 other potential people all at the same time and some were asked to leave in the middle of the process because they “didn’t fit the mold” they were looking for.  Now, in comparison to those that stayed, I was surprised I wasn’t asked to leave in all honesty because most of the people there were well established, a few managed sections for their previous employers and brought in well over 11 million dollars for their companies, and there I was, competing for the same job as them. How crazy is that? It felt nice though. At least I know I can give a good interview. Whether I get hired or not doesn’t matter for this one, of course it would be nice, but to know I wasn’t asked to leave because they didn’t think I had what it took to fill the position compared to these other people was nice. Wooo.

Anyway, I’ve been applying all over and hopefully I will get some more call backs because I fit the criteria for like all of them quite well.  I actually took a look at my resume and remade it and reworked my cover letters as well because I wasn’t getting call backs that I knew I should have been. I figure I needed to do something with it if it wasn’t getting the job done. Makes sense, right? I thought so anyway.  I’m still sad, my beautiful, hand designed resume no longer works because my computer had some corrupted files that broke the program I made it in. (Adobe Illustrator). This makes me sad because I LOVED IT.  I’m going to try to fix it so I can use that design I made for it again soon. Right now, it’s very basic, which works, but it’s not what it was previously. Same with the information. I’ve been tailoring my resume sot hat I now have like 4 different versions, you know, to send for specific criteria, etc., like people should have.

Let me see if I can put a small  image of my design up for you all to see. I am such a loser, I know, but I took quite a bit of time to design this, so I thought I would share.

Over at Inmyheels.com she is hosting a contest where you can win a free bike and some other stuff to go with it. All you have to do is post a comment about “What keeps you young.”  That’s it. Really.

Here’s what I wrote:

“Fantastic contest!

Now, to answer your question, hmm.

What keeps me young? Well, I am a dreamer, you could say. I like to believe in the “what if’s” instead of what already is. I use this creativity to write stories and books for other people’s entertainment.

I also “dance a jig” in the reflection of the sliding glass door, you know, just in case I have to impress the ladies someday on the dance floor. (I’ve been known to do this at weddings when I’ve had a wee bit too much to drink…)

Another thing I do is create impromptu plays in my head and act out all of the characters, usually having to do with a parrot and a pirate, while I shower. Some people sing in the shower, I do this.

I am energetic so people will often see me kicking and jumping and screaming like I am in a Bruce Lee flick. Sometimes I hit things when doing this. The last thing I hit was a towel rack with my foot and it flew off the wall. I quickly tried to fix it by shoving it back onto the wall and forcing the screws in, but unfortunately, a few hours later it fell off again, revealing my attempt at a cover-up.

Yep, just like a kid at heart. Maybe a little too much. “

I found this to be quite humorous, so I just had to share it.

A short video for one of Barack’s latest speeches. It’s pretty short, so enjoy!

I know, I know, I haven’t posted a short story in a bit, and I apologize. It takes some time to get these together and I’ve been distracted, unfortunately. However, because this story has some swearing and such, quite a bit for how short it is, you will have to click the “read more” to read the story. Not much of a safe guard I know, but that way it doesn’t bother those that don’t read it, right? hah, well that’s the idea anyway.

This is very short scene. Enjoy!
