So yeah, i had promised Mr. Chase that I would be more on top of this, but when I just become so über busy with my work, it becomes hard for me to handle it all :( But I must say, that I have never felt so independent in my life, ever since I started here in May of '08 and still going strong for almost 3 years now. 

He walked with a slight limp in his right leg.

There had been a boy in his elementary school class who had dared him to jump over the school's fence and confront the crazed madman's whose property rested on the other side. Invigorated by the prospect of heroism and school-wide acclaim for encountering what most were almost certain was a wizard, he undertook the dare with a suspicious amount of eagerness that caused the classmate to doubt the severity of his choice. The aspiring hero then climbed up the fence with ease and sat at the top, preparing himself for the battle to come. Sure of his noble purpose, he jumped down from the fence realizing only a moment before touching the ground that the fence was much to high to be dismounted in this fashion. He should have climbed down. The next moment he reached the ground and felt the effects of this lack of foresight. He had broken his ankle. Now, some forty years later, the limp remains from that childhood accident. Now, some forty years later, he looks both ways twice before crossing a street. Now, some forty years later, he quietly tells disheartened children that being a knight is not for everyone. Selling insurance can be just as fun. Now, some forty years later, a girl is walking onto the train behind him wondering how he got that limp. Wondering if it had been the result of something heroic. Something bold. 



*The title is so wonderfully cheesy. Please take a moment to frown and lament at the humor.  

Tasha and Henry ended their love on a bad note. Henry knew that they weren’t perfect but he refused to not believe that he made their world and he didn’t understand how she couldn’t notice. Maybe she was just in denial because she was used to losing. Putting Henry through grief was her answer to it. There were nights when he would just put on his vans and take a walk to cool it. Tasha was like a test and Henry was the student that couldn’t pass it. He tried his best plenty of times but he could never get the right solutions. It was also one thing after another one. Henry remembered times when his mom told him that he was too young. He responded by saying, “Well what that mean?” He took a chance on the game of love and now it’s never ending. Steady forever chasing that first feeling. It was like he was forever on the quest for a women’s treasure that she kept hidden. When Henry and Tasha broke up, he vowed to find love even if it killed him. He could run into it any day. One day Henry was in the house about to lie down. Henry sat on his bed forgetting that his phone was in his back pocket. His iPhone accidentally called Tasha. They both said hello, then there was a silent moment. “Man I been missing you, and I know you miss me too” said Henry. Tasha sighed then replied, “I thought we would be together until the end, and this is the end. We can’t be friends anymore.” Then she hung up the phone. Henry, still on the other end of the line sat with his jaw dropped and all he could say was “Damn.”

This weekend I shadowed an employee and my potential future job, Watermark. Watermark is a retirement home. My job is to be a waiter. I shadowed a female employee named Tyanna. She was very nice and she showed me the ins and outs of the job and everything that I would be expected to do. The other employees were nice as well. They were very informative schooled me on how to be the best employee I can be while putting my own style to the way I work. I stayed there for two hours following Tyanna around observing the way she worked and asking various questions. I also got the chance to talk to Amira, who actually put me on the job and gave me the application. All in all, I had a good time and learned a lot of thing and met some interesting old people. On Monday, I have to call Watermark back and ask to schedule for my PDD’s (physical). After that’s complete, they’ll schedule me to train. When my week of training is up, they will make the decision to keep me or not. I hope everything can turn out in my favor. This job is very good look, and even though it looks like there is a lot of work that you have to put into the job, I look forward to doing it.

I had a good time at Laurn’s party on Friday night. There were a lot of people there. People from SLA, Temple, and other people that I didn’t know attended the party. All in all I didn’t get into the house until 4:00 in the morning, so that pretty much sums up the night that I had. Good times, goooddd timmmesss.

Everything I’m not made me everything I am.

Gotta help my friends some how :)

I don't know how or why, but I missed stories 3 days in a row. 

Today someone was calling at me for a good 30 seconds, and their voice just did not register. It was awkward apologizing and not have a reason.

I helped my sister make food and take orders at her house party last night. It made me feel like a chef at a fast paced restaurant. 

It's never a dull moment when we are together :)
