Moving…

So it appears I have finally sold my townhouse today, although it’s not final until next Saturday. It’s nice to be done with the whole selling process, but it opened up a whole bunch of new problems…

The closing date is February 14, right in the middle of the month, which makes it difficult for me to find something to rent. And because the sale isn’t final until February 2, even if I could find something that was available for the 1st, it would be a gamble for me to pay the first months rent and deposit incase the sale fell apart.

And then there’s Lucie. Unless I can find a place to rent that is ok with a cat, I will have no choice but to put her down… I couldn’t give her away, she is so attached to me it would be unbelievably cruel (and she starts to pee on things if I’m not around). I’ve had her for 10 years, and I have to face the reality that this may be the end. I don’t know what to do…

My highlights of 2007…

Well, another year is almost over. I always get depressed in the winter and I thought it would be interesting to make a list of the good memories I have of 2007 (Although sometimes it seems it would be easier to make a list of the shitty things that happened).

I completed my Financial Management Diploma of Technology.

Drove to Seaside, OR by myself.

Went to Florida, had fun and saw a great baseball game. Saw a homeless man with a rooster on South Beach.

Had a good time working for Starbucks (and with Dan again), even if it was short-lived.

Was happy to come back to EB, despite all it’s faults, it does provide flexibility.

Went to Vegas twice in August. Saw my first live UFC, and got a tattoo.

Started the BBA program, made some pretty awesome new friends.

Finally visited my little sister in Kelowna.

Passed all my courses (even though I was really worried about one).

Thanks to a friend my otherwise shitty Christmas turned out pretty good.

And another thing or two that happened in the past month have been pretty cool too.

New Years Resolutions? I guess I have a couple of days for those still…

Vegas again…

Well it's been a while since I posted here. The florida pictures I promised, I posted on Facebook.

I'm sitting in the Bellingham airport waiting for my flight to Vegas to board. I should have left yesterday but had to go to my Pre-Calculus for Management class last night. Oh well, I'll be back in Vegas August 24 to 27 where I will be watching UFC 74 live!

I did end up quitting EB Games and going to work for Starbucks. My last day at Starbucks is august 12. Starbucks and me just weren't compatible.

Oh well, life goes on…

Financial Management Diploma completed…

Two years have gone by pretty quickly. I’m finally done Financial Management. I had my last exam yesterday. In the fall I’ll be starting the Bachelors of Business Administration degree programs. This morning I had a job interview for a new part-time job (yes, it is possilble that after almost 6 years I could be leaving EB…).

My life will be very different next month.

Tomorrow morning (very early), I’ll be off to Miami, Florida (Technically I’m staying in Hollywood, FL)… I’m bringing my camera; let’s see how many pictures I actually take. Any pictures I do take will be posted in the photo gallery here and probably on my Facebook profile.

Who knows, maybe I’ll even do a post or two from down there…

Anxiety…

Sometimes the smallest little things can set me off and fill me with anxiety.

I'll analyze whatever it is, and 99 times out of 100 it's something relatively meaningless. I know it doesn't matter but it still causes me to worry incessantly.

Grindhouse…

I went and saw Grindhouse today. I sat throught all 3 hours 11 minutes. It was entertaining, but by no measure a good movie. Quentin Tarantino's segment, Death Proof seemed to lack a coherent plot. The fake trailers were pretty cool though. Especially Thanksgiving.

I'm still working at EB Games, I've been trying to get a job working for the same company my old manager does, but so far nothings come through…
