I havent updated this blog in a long time! So many other social outlets, I usually just stop by SG to go to the boards. But let me give you nuggets a little update.
Been going on lots of little vacations.. I took a week off in feb and march to go hang with my old friends back in Detroit. I really do miss my old stomping grounds and based on how many people remembered me (aside from my close friends) after 4+ years, I'd say Detroit missed me too. I always get up to some crazy shenanigans when I'm there and I come back covered in scars and bruises with a stupid grin on my face.
In 4 days it'll be my birthday. I'm not one to really celebrate these things when I dont have a bunch of friends to go crazy with, so my actual birthday might be a little low key. But thats okay because in 7 days I leave for yet another vacation, this time down to Asheville, NC for some good family time. I havent seen my mom in like 5 or 6 years, thanks to money and lack of time.. She lives down in Florida and we're both making the trip to stay with my sister for a week. I consider Asheville my second home and I have a lot of people who want to catch up with me, because I've been gone from there for a little over a year, so that should be a kick ass time.
I got promoted at my job, and changed roles. It came with a nice raise and gives me a chance to do what I love so it should be really good for my positivity and mental health. Also probably slow down the growth of the gray hairs I've been getting due to stress. Most people at work still guess my age at almost 10 years younger than I really am, and I want to fucking keep it that way!
The new job will require a little bit of training (that I don't need) and I've heard it might take me to a larger city for a weekend or so, which will be nice because I get to eat/drink/hotel on company dime. Fingers crossed its going to be in Chicago, cuz that would be fun.
Other than that, the home is still a zoo.. up to 3 goats now, but down to 9 chickens (something keeps eating the adventurous ones that go off on their own), cats, dogs, chinchillas, and a possible ferret foster in the future.. everything here is either covered in hair, dust, or smells like dog farts. I really look forward to being able to open these windows when it gets a bit warmer.
Thats all for now, you fine folks. Thanks for reading, and if you have any recommendations for my next vacation, lets hear them!

In the US, there have been 31 school shootings since Columbine. In the rest of the world, the number is just 14. In all other civilized nations combined. If this isn't begging for gun reform, what is? This should be our new mission, its too bad it arrived covered in the blood of children.
I have an interview today for Geek Squad in my new store. For those that don't know, I was in the Squad when I left North Carolina and took a small step down to relocate. Now I'm trying to get back in, but my tiny store is like everyone is guarding their toys in the sandbox and I'm fearing they might give it to someone else. Although they'd be fools to do so.
Still wrestling with finding comfort in my new surroundings. Good days, bad days, you know how it goes. More good than bad, which is a good sign. But its tough. The area is conservative, and filled with cheap bastards. No good friends yet.. but I'll get there.
I'm a bit behind on a few bills, but hopefully I'll catch up this month.
Thats about it for now. Wish me luck.

This country was built on the backs of men who worked hard through blood, sweat, and tears to provide a better life for their family, their community, and their country. Regardless of the pain, the misery, the monotony, they would trudge through and get the job done and do it right.
Its rare, if not impossible, to find that trait in people today. Its whats wrong with society. Its why we've seen a decline in jobs. In American manufacturing. Men would bend metal by hand for a dollar an hour, and now these days they want $18 an hour to push a button every 90 seconds to have a machine do the same thing.
I'm always surrounded by people who do the bare minimum. By people who would rather do nothing. I have my grandfathers work ethic. People piss me off. This slide in effort and ambition hasn't gone unnoticed by the world. Everything here is Made in China, and its not because they make a better product, they make a cheaper product. But you know what? We make cheap products too.. they're both cheap in quality but china can make it cheaper in cost. People would buy American if we built a better product, but our lazy population mixed with the feeling of wage entitlement make it difficult for us to make a higher quality product for the same cost. Because lazy fucks are ruining it for those of us who give a shit.
So, I have an unbelievable amount of frustration in trying to climb any corporate ladder. I work my ass off and watch lazy fucks get promoted. People who spend more time kissing ass than getting their hands dirty make more progress. It feels so very republican. I'm sick of it.
I've got a coworker, he made a 3ft display that included cables to potentially hook computers to televisions. It took 10 minutes. And management went wild and might as well fellated him for the next week. He's not a bad salesperson. He probably makes 9.50 an hour for himself and maybe sells $200/hr in product for the store.
I bust my ass. Constantly. I'm running product from one end of the store to the other. I'm give above and beyond tirelessly. I do make slightly more than my coworkers but I make the company in excess of $500/hr in retail sales. So, you'd think I'm valued more highly than my coworkers. But I'm not. Because I'm not an asskiss. Because we got away from the hard work = more pay mentality. All you have to do is kiss some ass and you'll get promoted!
So there is my rant. Most of you are lazy fucks and I secretly hate you. or I overtly hate you. but seriously though, I've always had to bust my ass so if you dont feel like busting your ass I really just want to bust your face. Make something of yourself. Of your community. Of your country.
Quit. Fucking. Around.
