So, some major life changes have taken place for me in the past few weeks. I quit my job of seven (?!?!) years, and switched careers, completely out of my comfort zone.
It's weird... I'm no longer an air-brush artist/tech guy/carpenter/scrap-metal scrounger/trouble shooter/anything-I-need-to-be-to-make-money-guy.
My new job should take care of most of my expenses. That's it. One job. At one place. Sure, I'll probably do some jobs on the side still to help pay some expenses for my parents/grandparents if needed. But... I won't HAVE to work a second job if I don't want to.
And, it's not ideal, I mean, it's a desk job. And so many people, myself included, would encourage someone to choose to work at a job that makes them happy over a job that makes a little more money. But, not everyone is going to find a job that makes them feel all warm and fuzzy everyday right? And sometimes, you just need more money.
And this will give me free time again. I mean, sure, I had time before, but without money, you find that you run out of things to do really quick, and if you're so tired in that time that you don't feel like moving, much less like doing anything that makes you happy, then it's not worth much.
So, I'm hoping to actually entertain some hobbies again.
Like I said, it's going to be weird...

Back from the void
I made it back from my trip, there's only so long you can stay out there away from making money afterall. I didn't get to do some of the crazy things I wanted, but, I did see others. I summited Pike's Peak, cruised death valley, ran down the course at Bonneville, ate pie. Saw stars.
Good times. I will slowly add some photos as I go through them, but mostly they're of rocks, and clouds. Only so many of those people will be interested in I think.
And suddenly there was a terrible roar
"..all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car. We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold..."
Okay, so I liberated a couple of lines from "Fear and Loathing" there. And put them out of order. But I felt they were fitting. Not that I update much anymore, but, just as a shout out to the net in general, and any remaining followers, I'm taking a short trip into the desert. As in, I've got a truck, and I'm intentionally going to drive out into the middle of the American Southwest, and stay awhile. I don't *plan* on s
God of Thunder
For once, I have something interesting to share. I got struck by lighting. Literally.
And I survived. So I think that officially qualifies me as a God of Thunder.
Yeah, but seriously, it was a nearby strike, so wasn't like it hit me direct from the sky. (Came through the house wiring and through my hand.)
But still, proved my maxim of "What doesn't kill you, hurts like Hell."
Honestly though, it wasn't THAT bad. I've had worse really, Lighting is weak yo. Did blow a couple lights in the house, and the switch I was holding on to when it came through.
Still Alive
So, you may or may not have noticed, I don't really bother to update the journal anymore. And I don't really do much that's up-loadable to my account. But, I am still around, and still alive. Just so you know.
