I'm back......

I haven’t updated in a while. Now while Elmo may say it’s because I am boring, which I may be, the actual reason is that life has been moving in strange directions for me lately.

My day job at the computer company is probably in it’s final stage. I think they are about to close their doors. They’ve cut back the accounting department to a 4 day work week. On the one hand I truly love having Fridays off. It’s given me some bonding with my room mate Mattina. We have had several days where we have gone out to lunch, had some drinks, and returned home somewhere between midnight and 2am. Of course that’s not to say that I haven’t been constructive with my free time. I have also been using these days for interviews. The downside has been the loss of 20% of my income………..but then you can’t have it all.

I have also heard some rather bad news about a friend of mine, and have been trying to decide if I should let him know what I’ve heard or if I should respect his privacy and let him tell me in his own time. Of course the information may be completely untrue in which case I feel like I should tell them what is being said, since the source isn’t completely reliable. What to do……..what to do? Perhaps time will make things clearer………it’s not like I have to make the decision today.

Worst of all this week really kicked my ass!!!!!! This past Tuesday I was on my way home from work, when I got a call from my best friend’s wife, Daleena. She wanted me to look after my godson so that she could stay with Omar since he was being admitted into the hospital. He was in the hospital for four nights with a kidney infection and finally came home yesterday.

Highs and lows…..ups and downs…..just when life starts to get sticky….BOOM…..along comes a bright spot!!!!! I met a fella last night. We were at a bar here in Akron…..started talking…..and when we left I walked him to his truck then he drove me to my car. We talked a little more and ended up making out in the parking lot. He told me that he’s a teacher and owns a DJ business. I was going to call him today, but chickened out………….but, you can bet your favorite broach that I will be calling him tomorrow.
