A Month in Review. The Progress of the Inside of the Apartment!
Here are a couple of videos that give a better understanding of what I have been going through for the past month of living on my own. I like the quietness and ability to work and play in the living room, while sleeping in my bedroom. I am still getting used to the neighborhood and will start riding my bike to work and around the area.

Getting Laid Off is a Blessing in Disguise
Story Mode
Life is good, life is great. Family doing well, have great friends, and my career is going in the right direction. I love going to work because I like to use my skills to better the human race. When I wake up in the morning I do my usual routine of washing my face, brushing my teeth, taking a shower, putting on my clothes, waking up my 10 year old son, getting the pot ready to make coffee, and turning on the television to check the traffic report. This process that I do for 5 days is mindless, I don’t really cheris my time much, I am always on the move to get to work at an early time to please the boss. I am scared and frighten of all of the people losing their jobs in this low performing economy. I know that after a hurricane and moving to a new building for work I have to do my best in the projects that I over. I have to get there earlier and stay late. I have convinced my husband to take the kids to school because his job is very secure. I have to kiss ass, I have to do more work then everyone else, and I have to work 3 hours extra without getting paid for it. I’m loosing my mind and I am not being honest with myself about what I really want to do with my life. All I see are bills; long hours at work; taking care of kids; going to church; and putting on a fake smile in front of friends, family, and co-workers. I’m so damn exhausted, I sleep like a baby on the weekends and then I repeat the same typical ordinary and habitual schedule. Again I’m not being completely honest with myself and I am blinded by the signs that will ultimately destroy my self-esteem for who knows how long.
Words Can Indeed Describe What I Feel Inside
When I woke up this morning I was thrilled and ready to start my day. Of course I was happy with the outcome of the election, but I really did feel different. I talked to my co-workers, said hello to people in the hall way, and went on with my day working as I did any other day. I felt that I could conquer the world and by my own terms alone. I believe that is what this election has done for me as an American. Ever since I was a little kid growing up my mom always told me to be the very best in whatever I want to do in life. “Be the best teacher, the best garbage man out there, my mom would say. I never took that for granted and continued to move through the world with self-motivation and the will to challenge myself.
Barack Thanks for Proving me Wrong. Now it’s Time to Change the World!
There once was a time when I was a young boy growing up in urban Houston, Tx. A friend and I were chilling one summer afternoon or sometime where there was light outside. The topic of the conversation switched to where I was born and who I could and couldn’t be in this country.
Watching Movies to Expand my Mind!
I was listening to NPR, Fresh Air, a couple of days ago and was quite intrigue by a film writer by the name of Charlie Kaufman, who wrote some interesting films. As Terry Gross was interviewing him I because more and more interested in what he was talking about. Everything that he was saying was in a way the same way that I think about topics of life. So as one of my personal growth in a topic that peaked my interest I will be trying to find more information on his thought process and watching all of his movies. I’ll let yall know what I find out and how the whole experience has changed my outlook on a specific part of life.
My Passion: Reading and Writing!
Whenever it came to finding my passions I always thought that I needed the most extreme and exciting hobby in order for my life to be considered amazing. As I told people of what I wanted to do in my life I expressed an interest in something that I thought that they might find to be out of this world or that I was over an achiever. I wonder now as I sit in front of my laptop screen why I went to such troubles to please other people.
