Federal Taxes filed, job stress building...
I filed my federal taxes today via e-file online. Easy enough. I still have to file my state tax return. I didn't feel like doing the state today because I was busy searching around monster.com for jobs.
I found quite a few good jobs that suit me and my skills. Most of the jobs I am looking at are in North Carolina because I am hoping to move there soon. I am looking into a job in the computer industry, no particular field though. I haven't been able to narrow down the career I would like to pursue.
I need to work on making my mind up on things and stop going back on some of my original decisions. Most of the time my original decision is always the best idea... so lately I haven been going with that. For example, my current job stress was building on me so bad that I wanted to quit so bad. I have been depressed and hating myself. So, I decided to go with my first thought of how to relieve the stress. Quit.
Now, I am searching with everything in me, all day everyday working on my job skills and looking/applying for jobs in certain areas that I would like to live. I am sure I will find a good job if I keep my effort at this rate.
I have been watching the first season of "Lost" this week. I like it pretty well. I still have the second season lined up to watch next. I didn't play much Gears of War today, I was pretty busy job searching and looking at tax papers to make sure I got everything right.
I hope my decisions are going to brighten my near future. I am not usually a person that lives life spontaneously. This is a new thing for me, and I hope that the risks that I am taking now will lead me to a new career in something I love to do... and what I am good at.
Well, I had a lot to talk about because these are crucial moments in a young man's life. Changing careers and seeing new places... Ah. I can't wait. Peace.

New Job Info and such
Today I found out that I might be leaving soon for a new job that I have been looking into with my friend Richard. It pays good and there is travel with reimbursement, so I am looking forward to the change in lifestyle. I have been living this extremely boring lifestyle here in WV, but if I get this job I will be living in other states and big cities.
I added a bunch of songs to my myspace. I had uploaded them to my fileserver one night when I was drunk and listening to music, so I went ahead and added them to my playlist on there. Give it a listen.
I opened up a forum for people that would like to ask me questions about tech things, I am more than happy to answer them for you. I am very good with electronics and the workings of a computer inside and out.
I have been working on my webpage on and off all day and it doesn't even look like I have done much but it is time consuming work. I still have a lot I would like to do. Most of the things I done today were just tweaks that I moved around or added to the site. Fixed a few bugs.
I hope to get my taxes filed online tomorrow sometime. I keep putting off the inevitable task... I should be in a hurry being as it has to do with money and all. I am so stressed hoping about this job, and others. I am ready for a life changing experience and a new job is definitely the change that I have been looking for. I can't wait to have something more rewarding and worth my time.
I am going to give web development a bit of a break for some Gears of War playing. Go to GearsofWar.com and check my leader board standings and stats. My xboxlive gamertag is The Clark Kent.
I'm out. Peace.

My Life, Present Day.
I am hoping to change jobs soon. I hope I can find something that will suit me better than shovelling asphalt. I am going to keep working there until I find something else for sure though.
I have been playing Gears of War a lot lately. I guess you could call it my new Halo, but I will still always love Halo... and Halo 2. I love playing Gears because it is in high-def, and I love the graphics. My new 37" LCD HDTV looks awesome with the 360 and I am pretty happy with my investment. I haven't got a change to play PS3 much, but from what I have played, the 360 is just as good. I have bought 8 full games from stores and 9 arcade games from xbox live. I have everything I want for it now, so spending is pretty much just on games and HD movies anymore.
I quit smoking cigarettes on January 4, of this year. I ran out of cigarettes and instead of going to the store to buy more, I decided to quit. I quit cold turkey, and I'm still going strong. It was really hard to break habits, but determination can stomp anything.
It is pretty late now, so I am pretty sure I will sleep in pretty late into the afternoon tomorrow. There is like 8 inches of snow on the ground and more to come, so sleeping in doesn't sound like too bad of an idea. I am certainly not going to go out and play in the snow... well in most cases.
Anyway, it felt good to type and keep track of my life on here again. I hope I can keep up with it like I used to.

A New Beginning
This time it really has been a long time since the previous post. I have recently decided to bring my website back up so I would have a place to rant and rave. When my posts dwindled down to every month, then to none at all was when I started going through a rough time in college. I have been working since then trying to get rid of debt and get my life going in the right direction.
There is still a lot of work to do on my page here, but I am hoping to have it fully functional as soon as possible.
