An update on whats been going on in my life or something like that for those of you who might still read this.

I'm still looking for a civilian job and living at my parents. I'm living off my savings`and the occasional odd job. I'm just trying to keep busy and motivated so that when I do get another job I'll be able to make the transition that much easier.

I have been interviewing at MD Anderson. In fact I've had a total of 5 interviews so far and I'm still waiting to hear from them. MD Anderson isn't the only place I've been interviewing, I've been going to career fairs and employment agencies all over town. I'd like to stay on the Northside because of traffic, but it seems that the opportunities aren't on the Northside.

Once I get the job or when the New Year rolls around I'll be enrolling into classes again at either UH-Downtown or SHSU, I've been exploring opportunities at both institutions and at the University center for North Harris and talking with friends who have knowledge of each. I don't know about getting a professional position and how that would influence my education.

Would getting a fulltime job affect my studies? undoubtedly, but I need to make enough to survive on, but does that mean I should get a place of my own or stay here at my parents? I can't continue to stay here, we keep getting into arguments and yet we have moments where everything seems to be great, I just need my space and they don't seem to realize that at times.

The situation with my unit is one of constant flux. I just don't know what they want from me, when I talk to them about being reactivated they tell me they need people, but they haven't started the paperwork yet to get me mobilized. They go back and forth with sending me on missions and this plays hell with my life. I keep giving to the Army, but they give so little in return. They take and take and yet don't seem to want to help me out when I need it. I just don't understand it.

I worry about my sister and her family a lot, my brother lives with them and I sometimes feel they take advantage of him too much. He needs so much, but I don't have it to give. They don't take care of themselves, well lets just say there are things I see as an outsider, but they seem to be happy. Who am I to say whats good for them?

I sometimes worry about things too much. I've been trying to get in contact and hang out with old friends and people who matter to me as well as make new friends. I'm still establishing myself here in Houston and I'm grateful to my friends who've been there to listen and help keep me motivated and going. I hope they know how much they all mean to me.

It's been rough, I feel like this has been a good step in coming back to Houston, there's a lot here that I've been missing. I have hopes of great things being accomplished soon despite certain setbacks.

If you need to get ahold of me feel free to do so, most evenings you can find me at starbucks on kuykendahl and louetta, though call or text me as my truck might be there, but I might have headed out with friends downtown to Empire or Brazils. 832-858-8401

I have a friend who means the world to me and I have hurt them. Through words and deeds I have caused them pain unknowingly and unthinkingly. I was selfish and inconsiderate.

I have no words to say that can express how I feel at this moment. I can only say I'm sorry and hope that is enough.

I am sorry, please forgive me.

There is a lesson here, tell me if you know what it is...

The farmers see a crowd of people. A samurai has gone to the river's edge to be shaved by a monk.
A man with a moustache and a sword pushes his way through the crowd and squats scratching his chin. (It's Toshiro Mifune)
A handsome, aristocratic young man asks someone what's happening. A thief is hiding in a barn. He is holding a baby hostage. The samurai has asked for monk's robes and two rice cakes.
The samurai puts on his disguise. He feels Mifune watching and turns. His eyes are black in a white face on a black screen. Mifune stares blankly back. The samurai's eyes are black in a white face. Mifune scratches himself. The samurai turns away. He turns back and looks at Mifune; his eyes are black, his face is white. He turns away and goes to the barn.
Mifune sits on a stump close behind him to watch.
The samurai tells the thief he has brought food, tossed the rice cakes through the door, and follows.
The thief runs from the barn and falls down dead.
The samurai drops the thiefs sword in the dirt.
The parents of the child rush forward to take it.
Mifune runs forward brandishing his sword. He jumps up and down on the body.
The samurai walks off without a backward look.

I know I haven't posted anything of worth here in a long time, it's just that I've been going through a change in my life. I'm attempting to correct some mistakes and to regain something precious which I thought was lost, but there is always hope.

I've got a lot on my mind, there are things which seem to be out of reach, but are so close it hurts.

I haven't been sleeping well, I barely eat and what I do eat isn't what I should be eating. I'm worried about a lot of things, but there are somethings that are more often on my mind than not.

I know I'm being vague, that there isn't a whole lot of anything that's worthy of your time, but I appreciate you taking the time to read these thoughts of mine.
You're a Romantic Kisser

For you, kissing is all about feeling the romance

You love to kiss under the stars or by the sea

The perfect kiss involves the perfect mood

It's pretty common for kisses to sweep you off your feet
The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to good manners and elegance.



In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.



You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.



You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.



Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.



Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.



You think of marriage as something that will energize you. You aren't afraid of marriage or commitment.



In this moment, you think of love as something you need. You feel like love is the only thing to live for.
