Ressurrection

I'm not even going to say it because you all know what it is. I'm just going to dive right in. For those of you who may not know, I recently moved to Portland Oregon on a leap of faith with having no prospect of a job nor really knowing much about the place I was going to live. This sounded easy when I was first cooking it up, but like anything else involving such trust and faith of what you do not know the outcome of, it was easier said than done. I do like my little apartment though it was not exactly what I was expecting. Thanks to the help of a dear friend it seems a little more like home now. Still need a couch, but I have gotten all of those little domestic things one gets when inhabiting a new dwelling.

It is coming up on the second month of residence here, second rent payment, and no job yet. With this countries economy in the gutter right alongside my mind, employment is more difficult to find for me than it has ever been. I have several apps in to hotels around the area and am even applying to an airline which is the one I really hope I get because it will allow me to live in Oregon and work in Durango where my family lives. The best of both worlds if you ask me. My deadline for a job is two weeks from February first. That is zero barrier my friends. But I am going to have faith because any guy who can insert a badass quote from the movie Independence Day has got to have some marketable skills. Right? Right? God I hope so.

When I first started this blog I meant for it to be a little daily journal and I would write about my day from getting up to going to bed at night. These days, since I have moved, have consisted of waking up, showering, breakfast and coffee, checking email, then job hunting my ass off, coming home, dinner, shower, bed. I need a constant in my life other than this. It has been nice having all this time off though, but now that I have had it, and enjoyed it, it is time to start working again. Hey, who knows, if enough people read my blog maybe it will yield me a little income...or I could just keep playing the lottery. I'll keep ya posted on those millions I'm making.
