I just got home and its 1:30 am. I contemplated doing a couple of things right now, I could have fired up my xbox and played COD4, still not out of the question or I could have, which I did, decide to write this post. Maybe you can discern why I did this one too. Its a been a little while since my last post and just about everything in my life has changed since then. Its a wonder how everything, I mean everything, can be bad and then in a couple of weeks all is well. Or at least on its way to well. I have a small group at church to thank for that. I finally have some folks I have connected with and hang out quite regularly. Thats where I came from tonight. I went to a Good Friday service and then we all went to a friend’s house to play games. I learned how to play scrabble express, played rock band, and mario kart. Great time, even better company.
One person in specific made my night, I will let them remain anonymous for the time being. As most people know, I am a pretty picky dater and its not often that some one can consume my thoughts ALL THE TIME. Its happened though. There is a girl who I thought was absolutely gorgeous the first time I saw her. Somehow I have a feeling that she may be an answer to a lot of my prayers. The very little I do know about her made me fall for her fast and everytime I talk more with her, the worse (or better) it gets. Every laugh and smile had a pleasantly strange effect on me and the accent is, well everything about her is amazing. I will stop there and let anybody who reads this linger in guessing.
I started the new job this week. Its been great so far. Everybody at the new office is laid back and helpful. I have a feeling I could stay there a while. Today was the second and last day of some pretty intensive PM training. Good knowledge to have, I just hope I get to apply it all one day. Gov’t contracting is a vast and confusing world of finances.
9 months later and for the first time I am actually glad I moved up here. New job, new friends, almost into a new apt. You might call this a clean slate, round 2. I am going to make the best of this yet. My next goal is to lose 40 lbs. I started jogging again and went to a trial session at a boxing gym. It was intense and something I could get into. My only hold up is the coach was a disciplinarian type. I would guess like a karate teacher, not sure as I have never taken any sort of martial arts. I don’t understand that whole thing, probably why I would never fare well in the military. Its kind of an indication that I don’t want to join it. Not only because of that, but because it costs a fortune too. I have one more session that I paid for. I will go, but that will probably be it. I will lose that weight, either running, swimming, lifting weights, or whatever. Its got to happen. Add new lifestyle to the list too.
If you live in the DC area and read this, feel free to keep me accountable, I could use it. I hope this post finds you well. Happy Easter.
Mark, I’m really happy for you buddy.
That’s great, glad you found someone who makes you happy. I haven’t been keeping up with much other than trying to find a job since the debacle at CDC. I finally landed on my feet doing a 6 month contract with Kaiser Pemanente (keeps me off the streets), so I just now saw your post from March. I don’t know how Alfred and Dan made out, haven’t heard from either of them. I’ll keep checking back, but you need to post more often, I get bored.
