Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

So my life is changing rapidly now. It has gone from 0 to 60 in a snap. The world gave me a good kick in the head over the last couple of weeks. The last 18 months since I was terminated from my hospital gig had me in a kind of a lull. I was content to just drift through life for a while as an unemployed loser. Not happy, but content. It is a fine difference. Anyway, I had a place to sleep (if on the verge of homelessness), food to eat (usually), and animals to love. But my life is getting its act together. I'm no longer the professional slacker that I once was.

For example. I have goals in mind, and don't worry if you are curious, we'll go over 'em here. That is right, I've set myself some destinations in life and have deadlines to meet them by. I'm working on aquiring the tools I need to accomplish the tasks I've set for myself even. I finally have figured out what I want to do in life with the help of a very special person, and I'm trying to translate that into a carreer choice. Perhaps I'll finish getting that GED I started on a few years back when I dropped out of high school.

Come March I will have a big revealation for all of my friends, so keep it hush.

I have a job now too. Surprising, I know. I work at a grocery store again, like I did when I was still in school a long time ago. This time however I butcher up meat and parade it before the masses like a bloody stripper. It is often grueling work where I have to move quickly for up to 11 or more hours with only a half an hour break, but it'll net a paycheck I suppose (not a decent one). I'm only planning on doing this for the next 7 months, and then I'm out of there and onto greener pastures.

I'm back on the vegitarian bandwagon. This is for several reasons. I don't really care for meat all that much, so why should animals which I love have to die for my eating pleasure? Sure me not eating meat won't even put the slightest knick in the meat industry, but I can be happy with the knowledge that I don't cater to it. Another reason I don't eat meat now is for the health benefits. I've been informed by people with medical knowledge that my current state of health (not great, appearently, I thought I was doing fine) could be much improved by cutting meat out of my diet for a least a little while. There are more but I don't feel the need to explain myself to pixils.

I know that I'm the cynic who doesn't believe in love, and I hate to say it, but I've finally found someone I could connect with on a deep level and we recently decided to escalate our relationship to a more romantic one. Do I dare use the 'L' word? Indeed I do. I think I've founnd that special someone, that significant other that has been missing from my life. The void is filled.

I've been debating religion a lot recently, and I mean an aweful lot. Some might say I'm looking for answers, or being one of those annoying athiest assholes who are always smashing religion. But I firmly believe that I can't believe or disbelieve anything without fully exploring my options. So far in my discussions Christianity is looking dim as any moral basis for myself. There are too many contradiction within the scripture itself as well as the people who push it. Since at least one flaw has been pointed out and we have no way to reference the validity of the Bible, we must assume that it is entirely falsified (whether intentional or not) and cannot trust it one lick. Perhaps I'll move on to another religion to dissect soon. So far, believe it or not, Jehovah's Witnesses are winning in the 'Most Reasonable Religion' contest. Still, I don't believe any of it as of yet.

I cosplayed my avatar in the area last week as Neil Pattrick Harris from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog, and this week as Abe Lincoln. What a jump, eh? I should point out that Lincoln was possibly the worst president in US history. If you want to know why I believe that, feel free to send me a PM but the reasons are too many to list here. Suffice it to say, he was one lazy, murderous, man-whore. Did I peak your intrest?

My computer crashed and had to be reformatted a couple of weeks ago too. It had all of my writting from the last 7 years or so on it. I had no hard or back up copies because I don't own a printer. The greater part of a decade of work from fantasy to horror to erotica down the drain. It'll take a bit before I muster up the effort to begin again.

Well, that about sums up everything I needed to outlet at this very moment, ignoring the numerous other small problems in my life. I could write volumes on my family who've I recently been around far more than I care to be.

Until next time,
~Landfall.
