Sorry for the wait.

Damn it feels like forever since I last posted. Life has been beyond busy. And I mean busy on all fronts. Work, love life and home life. Lets start off with I can’t stop dating. I know I said I would but damn I am a human male. Well ok somewhat human that is. So I have gone out on a couple of dates. Nothing serious as of yet, just going out having a good time. Now on the career side of things its been nothing but roses. I decided to do something really big. There is a big convention that is held every year in San Francisco. I decided that I was just going to shell out the money and go up there. Now at this convention they have a career pavilion. There were about 50 companies there looking to hire people. You got face to face time with the people that are doing the hiring and the ones you want to talk to. This is what I needed to jump start my career and get out of the funk that I was in. It was rough for me to do this but I really saw it as a do or die type of thing. So I plan my trip and I tell a friend about it and that I will kind of be up her way. Hell we have been talking on Myspace and IM for over two years. I tell her about how my love life sucks. And she tells me about all the crap that goes on in her life. So it’s decided I will shoot over the 80-90 miles to meet up with her in Sacramento and kick it with her one night and fly out the next morning. Damn this is really going to turn into a good weekend if all goes as planed. Yea we all know how that goes. Well let me tell you thinks went better than planed that is for sure. I got to the Airport expecting a long line and just a hell of a time getting through security. Anyone that has been to LAX knows this is the norm. Well I get to the airport an hour ahead of time and it looks like they have closed the damn airport down. There are no lines anywhere. I mean it’s like it’s midnight and everyone is ready go home. But no it’s 6 pm on a Thursday afternoon. Ok so no ones outside they must all be inside. Damn it what world is this I get through the ticket counter and security at the airport within 5 minutes of getting out of the car. My god I have never gotten through LAX this damn fast. Ok at some point this trip is going to go wrong it has to my trips don’t start off this well. They either start off badly or end badly that has always been my luck. The flight leaves on time with no trouble. I even had an empty seat next to me. There are no problems with the flight at all. When the plane lands I get off and head straight to the Bart station and wait for my train. Damn if it isn’t nicer then the public transit we have down here in LA. Nice cushioned seats and it’s clean. Ok this is really going too well now. Ok my hotel is going to be a dumb. I get to my hotel and this place doesn’t even fit the price I paid for the room. It’s a really nice hotel. Very clean rooms and very helpful staff. I have to admit it is much better than the motel 6 I was going to stay at. As a matter of fact the staff was so helpful they ended up giving me a free pass to the convention that I was going to attend the next day. Wow that’s 200 dollars that I can spend in other ways now. Hot damn I am a happy camper now. The rest of the weekend kind of went in the same mode. It was one of the best work/vacations I have ever had in my life. After my whoring myself out for 3 hours to look for a job. (don’t get me wrong I had a great time and it went really well.) I left to explore Downtown San Fran. I loved the area. I couldn’t get enough of it. I wish I would have had an extra day I would have for sure made the most of it. There is so much history in Northern Calif. I tend to miss it living in the south where everything seems so plastic and fake. I didn’t stay out too late as I seem to be getting older and the knees can’t take walking anymore. But I get up early the next day and head out to meet my friend in Sacramento. I take the greyhound there. It’s a 2 hour ride but I have been on worst. My last day and night in Northern California was great. I spent it talking and laughing with friends that I have only talked to on IM or email. To see the person I have shared so much of my life with up close and face to face was great. Now when they say something online you can hear their voice and makes you laugh even harder. After this weekend I now have a renewed focus to really stay in touch with friends. And to get out more and enjoy life.
