Kind of floundering right now. Not sure which direction to go. I just turned down a contract job in Israel. There wasn't enough info and I wasn't ready to leave just yet doing that shit again. I am sure the money would have been great, but I am just not ready yet.

Back in Pittsburgh for the time being. Now I just need to figure out what the hell I am going to do with myself. I have applied for some jobs but haven't heard anything yet. I am not holding my breath. There may be something in the works but the person who mentioned it is not reliable, so who knows.

i was not happy at all
if it does happen it will not be until after January, but see the good thing is I have been at my job for 2 years and that means I can get unemployment for like up to a year I think and that would be $380 a week, that would give me enough money to live on and would give me the time to get my business started.

Very true. I am feeling a substantial amount better. I heal fairly quick. It's nice.
Traveling now. Visiting my cousin in a small town outside of Seattle called Port Townsend, very relaxing and very cool. I head down to the outskirts of Tacoma next to see one of my best friends. From there is down to outside of Portland to see my Mom for the first time in 6 years. Then I spend a couple days in Portland by myself....

I think I have heard of Port Townsend.
I hope all of your travels treat you well.
I hope you feel better and I hope you can figure out something to do with yourself that will make you happy and treat you well.

Back in Pittsburgh now. Nothing has really changed, people are older, new businesses up and some down. Pittsburgh never really changes much. I love/hate this place.
This isn't the best time either given this is a transitional phase for me right now. I am trying to get out of here but nothing has happened yet. I have so much stuff to go through in storage...

Halloween was ok, I don't really like my best friends boyfriend, I know that makes me a bad person but I can't help it, but the rest of the party was pretty good.
I had no idea walls of Jericho would sound like that, I mean if I had just heard the CD and not seen them then I would have never known the singer was a girl, she sure can scream, she can out do most men, and she was really nice when I met her.
Isn't that the way with most places, most places just grow a little, nothing much changes, well maybe there are some places that change a lot.
Well I hope it doesn't take you to long to go thru all of your stuff.
Family drama really sucks, I hope that all works out and you can enjoy your time at home.
I'm glad you got out and had some fun, good people, good beer and good ridding, doesn't get much better then that.
I hope it is a good trip and I hope you have fun with your mom. So why do you say interesting? Do you and her not get along?

In transit right now.
I am on my way back to Pittsburgh and I am done with Kosovo. That time is Kosovo was 3 long years. I was fairly constructive and got a lot accomplished but I am ready to be out of there. I will be back in Pittsburgh later tonight.
Now the question is how long before I become very restless in Pittsburgh...

Hope your trip wasn't too weary! So what are your plans now once you're back in Pittsburgh?
I guess I should update. I should put pictures of my new ink up. I should give a real update on my last vacation. I should do many things but I am fairly stressed and busy with leaving this contract. I have been packing and mailing my mass amount of accumulated stuff home, working on the resume and trying to line things up.I will be...

I guess I should update this damn thing. Back from vacation. It sucks ass to be back but I only have 39 days left on contract.
Vacation was wicked. I had a blast and got a new tattoo. I don't have pictures of it yet and I really don't feel like uploading any pictures right now.
The weather has been pretty bad here.

So how were your last days in Stockholm? What did you do? It's always fun to hear other peoples experiances of the city you grew up in, since they have a completely different perspective on things.
Vacation less than 2 weeks away. New ink on vacation, get to kick it in Stockholm again, plus the 5 days in Iceland. I am pretty fucking excited.
When I come back I have 45 days left on this contract. That will be a good day. From there I am not sure how things will play out, I do know I will be back in...

Why thank you!! I try!!
91 fucking days left, with a two week vacation in September.
I wish I could just ignore the world around me, not read about what happens in the world, not witness what people do to each other and this planet. I would probably be better off, there would be less contempt and anger pumping through me. But I am not capable of turning the blind...

I'm glad you think so, I wish she could see how beautiful she is, I'm going to try to show her all the comments about her on here next time she comes over here.
I really hope this places works out, I don't want to move for a long time and this places is going to save me a tone of money.
I have to agree, but there are some out there who go against the grain.

102 days left on contract. Throw 2 weeks vacation at the beginning of September and my time here is running short. I have started putting things in motion to get out of here. I am slowly starting to mail some stuff home and go through my shit. I already gave a duffel bag full of clothes away to some Serb families.

Well I'm more worried about her finding a new job then me, she does not drive yet so now she can't ride with her ex to work, I hope she finds some where that she can walk to until she can get her license.

First off:
Today is the Day. One of my favorite bands going. "For the Pain of Living" as they say. This is a wicked song from them. They have fit my mood here lately and are getting heavy rotation, bow down:
I am regretting my decision to stay until October. Oh well. What's done is done. I could leave but I am not built that...

Thank you very much, I hope dust bunny can be the pet of the week.
It really does suck, but the good thing is they think they have found a new place, but they were not done with all the official stuff so they couldn't say anything yet, I just hope it is as good of a place or better then the one it was in.
Well if some one starts talking to me about religion then I will talk to them about it, but I have some open minded friends and a lot of us have alternative beliefs so I know I can talk about that stuff with them and no one ever tries to change the others mind.

Thank you very much, you are to kind. 
well see I thought that it was best to have my party on Saturday to give me time to recover, plus I was born at 414 am so it worked out better that way, we started at 6 pm and we got to party at the moment I was born and up until almost 6 am.
so all i have done today is just lay around and well i did go for a really long walk.

There is really absolutely nothing going on right now. I have had 1 day off in 45 days.
I go through phases over here and I am in the down phase right now where it is hard for me to even get out of bed and I have a ton of nightmares. I am unmotivated to do much of anything and I am very unproductive....

Well Lexington is a very historic place, lots of historic buildings, way more then I could post in my journal, it's a pretty cool place to visit, it is also the horse capital of the world, if you ever want to visit let me know.
But see the thing is they are all I have, so until I find some one to replace them then I will have to hold onto them.
It is very hard and she is a good friend of mine, I want her to be happy and he seems to make her happy, he seems ok and I would hate to ever take her away from him, but if the chance came up I don't' know if I could stop myself, she is just so strange and unique and beautiful.
Wow 45 days, that is way to long, they shouldn't be abele to do that to a person.
I'm sure you will, we all have times like that.
I hope you take a lot of photos in Iceland, I want to go there so bad.
So why do you think they don't mesh well, what about them do you think made it not work?

good luck, I hope you can get a job in Germany.
Well you have had a hard couple of years, I think you needed to get hammered for a month just to celebrate.
I love Christmas, I like to buy people stuff and I just like the way things feel.
I know how that is, I can't talk to people at all anymore unless I know them, I have social anxiety and when I go out I never talk to anyone, I find it so hard to make new friends.
What kind of laptop are you going to get.
