Chuckie's Journal

A number of changes have occurred altering the landscape of my life. A few more will take place before school starts and for the hundredth time I feel like I've been through this before.

As many of you know, I've broken up with Jas, and although I'm still not confident that it was the most acute decision, I do for the time being maintain the sense that it was strangely the right thing to do. I won't pretend anything else on the matter or go into further detail, but feel as though all my close acquaintances should know it without it having to be brought up or openly mentioned.

My roommate Mike is moving to Utah after having spent a year here. I think he's done with the heat, it's too damn hot, but more importantly he has Idaho friends, family and a new experience waiting for him there. I'm sure will keep in touch, but I'm also sure that had we gotten along as well as we had originally imagined, he would be staying here at least another year. So in that same vein it's difficult not to feel like a complete failure.

Speaking of failures, the job market right now is a complete failure. Trevyn and 2 other friends of mine have been un-able to find a job anywhere for the past month. With no money from Trevyn, Mike moving to Utah and a third of rent to be taken care of, our friend Manny (Goop) decided to live with us, needing to get away from his current roommates that our extremely passive aggressive. So for those of you that don't know I'll be living with Trevyn, Manny, and Omar (Blood of the Fallen) for the next 10 months or so.

As depressed as I could be, having lost my job due to my new location on top of all these recent changes. I'm actually quite cheerful. Manny relieved a number of financial concerns I maintained and starting on Sunday I'll finally be going to driving school, so hopefully this time next month I'll have a car and a license. Last time I went down to Tucson I explained how seriously I was needing a license, I'm fucking 22, and surprisingly my Grampa completely willing offered to pay for a class that would be authorized to teach me to drive and to give me a license directly, so I'm stoked. My Aunt will be giving me a gas monstrosity when I acquire the damn thing, but thankfully I live much closer to campus now and won't be needing to drive there.

It's hard not to feel good when you have ridiculously large amounts of free time. Other then my personal project which I've been tackling in very small doses I've mostly been playing video games, burning 600 calories a day (300 on off days), and looking for Data Entry or Sales Rep positions that are part time to work at. After getting used to $15 an hour as a server anything under $10 seems un-live able, but as time passes I imagine my standards will drop.

So yeah, First project Megaton announcement: expect some kind of website for it by mid January of 09.
