Well it's a new year and I've truly been trying to be a new me. I'm trying to cut out a lot of clutter that is preventing me from getting what I want out of life including but not limited to mental clutter that has been clogging up my brain for a long, long time. I've been trying to eat healthier for a while now and I'm hoping to continue that trend into 2017. Don't worry, I'm not getting rid of all my junk food and candy! I'm just eating less of it and trying to eat more fruits and vegetables. My one problem area is exercise but I'm trying to start that up...it just might take a while to make it a habit rather than a once in a while kind of thing. I'm also trying to apply for new jobs but it isn't going as well as I would like...maybe I just feel that way because I got a rejection in record time the other day and I'm a little hurt by that. I mean I know not to take this stuff personally but when you are rejected in less than 6 hours that kind of stings a little more than not hearing anything at all.
I've set some wheels in motion that will hopefully be important to my future. I've purchased almost all of the equipment I need to make a serious go at becoming a voice over artist. I've also begun the process of getting my first book out there for publishers. I'm getting query letters ready and I'm going to do my best! I hope I can make a career out of one of these things or, ideally, both of them. I need to do something with the rest of my life that isn't making boxes which is part of what I do right now unfortunately.
I had plans to travel last year but they just didn't work out...and I'm a little worried that any plans I make to travel this year I worry won't work either. I really feel like going somewhere warm though...winter isn't an agreeable season for me. I get the winter blues for sure. Oh well, if I need to shift my money else where then I have to shift it else where. Car payments need to be made too. We can't always have what we want (especially on my pay).
But things are looking up overall and I've got lots of stuff to look forward to even if not everything takes off...at least I'm going to try! The act of going for it is what is important.
Let's all support each others' attempts and help each other get up when we fall. Maybe things will be less scary than they've been seeming lately.

I haven't done a journal in how long?!
Hello everyone!
I know I can't believe that I haven't done a journal in over 2 years! Although it's not like I wasn't here at least a little bit on most days. I just haven't written a journal.
So what has been going on? I'll hit on a few key points.
Work has been going well. Very well actually. I didn't know just how much I would like working in retail. It isn't perfect of course, there's a lot to not recommend it. But I have great, supportive coworkers who are like family and when I really get to help someone it's a great feeling. And I'm good at it too. The store leaders see I can handle hard work and responsibility and they give me more
Merry Holidays everyone!
Maybe you'll be celebrating tomorrow, maybe your celebrations have already happened. All I want to say is I hope you and your families have a happy and safe holiday season.
Let's have a great 2018 too!
Revisiting old things and doing new ones
Lately I've been re-reading the archives of my very favorite web comic, Something Positive. If you aren't familiar with it here's the link: http://www.somethingpositive.net/index.html
A word to those who might not be comfortable with very dark humor...if you can't make it past the first comic...it only gets worse from there. Or better if you enjoy dark humor.
I have been reading it since the Fall of 2004 and every few years I take a trip through the archives. This time however I started not at the very beginning...It just happened that way. I always have a good time when I do this. The comic has been there for me in the best times and the w
I feel a new man!
I had an epiphany sometime last week.
I realized I was the only one holding back my happiness.
I was making myself somewhat miserable about my lot in life. No job, my efforts to publish my book have stalled for the moment, certainly no significant other.
But I realized that the key to happiness is to just be happy.
And I have plenty to be happy about.
So I've been living everyday since my epiphany with that thought. I'm feeling more at peace with my place in life and in the world. Sure things might look a little bleak today but they'll pick up soon. I have to keep believing that.
One of the good things is all of you on here! I really ap
