Down to faith.

well it seems too long since someone got engaged or needed a gmail invite, so I figured that I’d give a quick update to my life

last May I had a whole week off (first time in over 3 years) and I lived up my vacation as much as possible (it was centered around Star Wars’ 30th birthday, so it would’ve been hard for me not to have a good time). pretty much I had a week of being happy & 2nd day back to work that feeling went into hiding, so I started thinking a lot about what I wanted to be doing, what would make me happy and it mainly came down to moving back home (Chicago land)

my lease was about to end in Milwaukee & my brother needed a roommate in Chicago, the only thing that was missing was a job to, you know, pay bills and stuph like that. so my mindset was ‘if I can get a job before my lease ends I’ll move’ until…

…until I was talking w/ Mr. Gin and I said ‘It all comes down to faith that this is right thing to do.’

has anyone else here had a moment of divine revelation that sneaks up on you and then stares you right in the face? it is like getting a glimpse of your own predestination sitting behind the knowledge of free choice. most of what you see is choice, it fills your field of view, but for a split second you could see your path. and even though that moment was so very short it stays with you, so that when you close your eyes choices stops being plural

so I quit my job in Milwaukee & moved in with my brother. I have found some work, but not a job. there have been a lot of things that have been scary in the last few months and a lot of things that have surprised me. It all comes down to faith.

I'm Outnumbered

I'm thinking there's at least twenty Bears fans on this blog and as far as I know only one Colts fan (me). I guess I have to represent. Go Horseshoes! :)

he he hee {snort} blah ha ha haaaa!

so first off, yay too all those thing in the lives of you guys, I promise I read you stuph, paid attention & took notes, plus things like that...

BUT right now, thou must take a pause in the spirit of J-term break & head over to youtube.

Think "Mac vs PC" meets Taylor female dorms.

When I came across this, I nearly had rasin bran come out my nose.

I got a new job too and HUGE news...

On Dec. 12th I started my new job at EA (best known for their EA sports titles like Madden football). I'm working at the studio here in Chicago on an unannounced game. I hated to leave Mortal Kombat but EA offers better pay, benifits, etc. I'm getting to work on some AI stuff and so far I'm liking it a lot.

But now on to the more important announcement... I'M ENGAGED! :-) Jessica accepted my proposal on December 10th, one day after Goofy's. We were at Disney World the day before. While eating at a restaurant there Chip and Goofy started hitting on my girl! :-( After pointing out that I had not given Jessica a ring, Goofy slipped a ring (made of a straw) onto her finger! I sat there thinking that I couldn't believe he beat me by one day. Emergency measures had to be taken! I proposed the next evening on the beach at sunset on Lido Key in Florida, and Jessica has promised to break off this thing she has with Goofy and marry me on September 1st this year. :-D

I would like to point out at this juncture that Jessica and I first met at a wedding where I caught the garter. I guess these things really work. :) Thanks Joel and Ginny!!

My new job

I started an overnight stocking job with Lowe's last week. So far, it's cool, though it's real hard work. The crew unloads a truck each night and then takes the boxes down to the floor to be stocked. It's hard adjusting my sleep pattern, especially since I still have the job with the Taxpayers Association, but at least for the first time in a while I'm getting the hours. Plus, there's no such thing as boredom in this job :) At least it's something until I can find another job.
