The weekend












I went to a Game Night meetup at The Charleston in Santa Monica last night. It was fun. I met some really great people. I even got a job lead out of it. These events are really great for networking because getting a job nowadays is all about who you know, not what you know. I've been wanting to get out of my field of work for a while now.

Speaking of getting out of my line of work, it's one reason I haven't been blogging much in the last year. I'm really passionate about politics. I've wanted to blog about some pretty important issues but because of many of the government scandals, I'm glad I've kept silent. But I can't keep silent too much longer. It just doesn't feel right. So look for more posts about politics.

As far as my reading goes, I've been reading mostly Paleo cookbooks. I will be sharing the names of these cookbooks at a later date. I've cooked at least one recipe out of each cookbook and they turned out wonderful.

I need to get working on my resume and continue my job search. If I plan to move to the Los Angeles area before the end of this year, I'll need to find a job ASAP.

Good night.

Lost

I feel like I've been traveling on this road and I don't know where I'm going, I don't know why I'm on it, and I feel like I've been on it FOREVER with no turn offs or end in sight.

My life. This past few years I've been to weddings, I've seen babies born, marriages fall apart and my life has stayed exactly the same.

No love. No new job. No nothing. Just me living in what feels like the middle of nowhere with nothing to show for it.

This picture is a perfect representation of me. Of my life this far.

I've prayed and had others pray for me. I've questioned whether there is a god. Does he hear my prayers? Is his answer to everything I pray for 'No'?

Doors are supposed to be opened but it feels like they are being shut in my face. Urgh! That's not supposed to be. I'm not supposed to feel this way.

Maybe I need a vacation or something.

Strawberries

Strawberries are in season and I'm loving it! I bought some at the farmer's market this past Saturday but they weren't sweet. The ones o bought today are much sweeter. Yum.

I'm watching The Amazing Spider-Man. I thought Peter's love interest was a redhead?

Veloster

I went to test drive the Hyundai Veloster today. It is a nice car. I'm not sure if I want to get it though. I want to look at some more cars before I make my decision.

The dealer I went to today tried to give it to me up the pooper. I'll be going over the hill to see if I can't get a better deal.

The Word

I went to my mom's church for Bible study tonight. It was okay. I'm not used to that style of teaching. It was a little light on scripture. I prefer lots of scripture. It's the only part of going to church I love. Reading God's word.

Time for another car.

My car just died for the final time. I will have to get another car this weekend. I can't do anything without a car.

My oil thingee busted and I don't have circulating on my engine parts. If I drive this car any further, I will kill the engine for good. Dang. Makes me wish I had sold this car a year ago instead of holding on to it. You snooze you lose.

Battleship

I went to see Battleship today. It was a decent movie. It wasn't as good as The Avengers but it was entertaining.

It looks like there will be many great movies this summer. I've got at least five on my list of must sees.

Bowling

I went out tonight with a couple of folks from my meetup group. We had fun. I discovered I don't like bowling and pool is only fun when I'm playing someone I can't play.

Sadly, I don't have pictures of my meal or any of our games.

Untitled

As you can see from the number of pictures I have on my blog, I spend a lot of time in my car. I don't have anything to blog about. I've been unmotivated to do much of anything.
