Smashed


Indian Wells_-11

 

Ever get that feeling that life is smashing you into the ground and you all left reeling ? Btw I also think Heather Watson is by far the cutest tennis player I have seen ! This is from Indian Wells this past month.

2015 – A review


2015 has to be as inconsequential a year as any. I achieved nothing of the goals I set out. Well maybe not all..

  1. I did get promoted at work. It was something I had been trying to get for the past 5 years and it eventually happened. That was a big plus.
  2. I did manage to pare my debt down to less than 1/2
  3. I managed to get most of the mods done on the truck. Some minor suspension issues to be addressed. This definitely adds up financially but that is all there is left and i foresee it being done by the end of the coming year.
  4. I did not manage to lose any weight, I may have gained some but that is a journey and so I am not going to beat myself up over it. I am trying my best.
  5. The whiskey collection grew to about 30 bottles and starting from zero it wasn’t too shabby a year for the drunkard in me
  6. Tore my Rotator cuff (partially), adding to the weight loss inefficiency but I am trying the PRP shots and well, not quite sure it works just yet. But a few more and I will know for sure. So I did get injured but haven’t had surgery, I’m chalking it up as a win.

That was 2015 in a nutshell.

 

Day 2


Spoke too soon. The trip to PDX wasnt cheap, actually nothing there is cheap. Even though Portland doesn’t have sales tax everything seemed more expensive. I did notice that real estate was esp higher but I wasn’t in the market to get a house anyway. Actually a recent report put Portland as one of the places where the millennials were priced out of the housing market, and a few months ago ZH had portland as one of the 45 traditionally unaffordable markets with price appreciation outpacing wage growth

Having said as much, I loved the place. I know right, go figure. They have 58 breweries in the city, more than any other city on earth I’m told. And while sadly the beer outnumbered my stomachs woefully poor capacity to try them all in the short amount of time I was there.

Another freemason meeting day. Things are looking up and life is overall staying positive ! Also I got to read about the rise of the praetorian class which was interesting. More so was this little bit about the british empire  the filth that pollutes the earth. Meh.. sometimes you wonder about humanity..

More later

Day 1


Half way through this financial wreck of a year things are slowly starting to look better. Perhaps there is hope after all. Staying on the positive side of things, I did get an interview call from the boss lady and I am not sure if this is merely an interview for the sake of having one or if she is actively considering my candidacy. Either way there is only one way to find out and she better bet her bottom dollar I will pay every card in the deck to get it. To be honest I would rather go work for my old boss man over at the cancer center but I don’t think I want to put my eggs in one basket at this point. I also do not want to get too excited about things because it means that I am potentially setting myself up for needless heartache. Attachment is the cause of all misery afterall.

2 more days to go to portland, and that means today I have to pack , figure out what to take, find where the camera and gear is, and hopefully make the masons meeting today. So much to do in so little time. I really need to get better at managing my time. But first, I have to get through today.. now where is that coffe pot.
