Happy Christmas to all.

So today's my birthday. Really low key this year. Already opened all my gifts for birthday and Christmas. I got slippers, socks, a blanket, twizlers, Scott Pilgrim vs the World, and a bitchin' camera!

It's the Samsung PL200.

Let me just put it this way, you may be seeing a lot more picture of me, and my stupidness floating around the...

Happy late birthday!smile Sounds like you made out fairly well in the gift dept. I find it funny now that I'm an adult I really like getting things like socks and such for my birthday and Christmas. Hope your new year is off to a good start.

I think he may have learned his lesson this time. His wife has put her foot down about it.

I've had a glorious day! I been given a new hope for the humanity I've thought I lost.

There are two things that gave me this. My friends and re-noticing the beauty that compromises this wonderful world I live in.

First: I went and played ice hockey for the first time in ten or more years. A lot of it came back but I really...

Insomnia is one thing I can say I've had all my life. Until now though it's never gotten in my way.

As any of you know who have been reading my blog, or just glance down at the last few posts, I've written a children's book and I'm trying to illustrate it. The illustration part is coming along horrendously though because of my insomnia. I've...

Speaking from experience sitting at home and feeling sorry for yourself doesn't do you any good. I felt a lot of the same shit when me and my ex-fiance broke up and it did me no good. I think you should just go fuck some random girl you meet at the bar. I know it always makes me feel better after a break-up. You should feel like this song after.

So I finished editing the book tonight. Make it the ending a bit better, easier for a kid to follow. Tomorrow I begin illustrating. This is going to be rough. I'd post the premiss of the story for you all, but I'm just being cautious to make sure it stays my book. If for no other reason than publishing one or two copies for some...

Making people happy is the best reason to do anything creative. Hope the illustrating goes well!

So tonight while I was talking with my best friend online she told me to tell her a story as she sometimes does while she's falling asleep. Well generally I'm not in a story telling mood and/or can't come up with anything too deep/long/whatever.

But tonight she caught me in exactly the right mood because I told her a story for about 30 minutes which...

So I may being getting my old job back at Apple come January. That'll rock. Still need something in the mean time. I should really make a wish list for Christmas/ my birthday, since they're both the same days. And to be honest it'd be a really easy list. It would all be money or hockey equipment.

My buddy and a bunch of guys we...

Hey bro congrats about the job at Apple, that's actually why I came to your profile. Click Spoiler to see job offer.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

I know you're living in Chicago n all, but if you don't mind commuting to Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin (just over the border) they have a temp to hire position as a forklift operator that starts this tomorrow (or sometime this week). Its at a company called Arvato offering $9.25 per hour/full time. I knew you were looking for a job and I love helping people so I thought of our convo on your previous blog... If you're interested contact "simplified staffing" via phone (262)658-3001 and ask for Israel. He will be there until 5 pm today Sunday December 12 as well as the rest of the week during normal business hours. I didn't take it cause I already have a decent job, but I hope if you decide to do this it all works out for you!



About that hockey thing, if you need a guy that has absolutely no experience in hockey what-so-ever, I am available. hahaha
well there is this snow shop in Libertyville, IL that might have discounted hockey gear... I'll check that out before I go to work today... I have been planning on going in there to buy a new snowboard, now I have a reason. I'll hit you up with the results of my research...

also if you could let me know what you decide to do with that job, I will appreciate it...

peace, R_J

So, I'm back in Naperville and just secured myself a free bed! Now all I need is someone to share it with.

The downside of being back is being broke and jobless at the moment, so if anyone out there has any place for me to work I can do just about anything.


Yeah, this is a total "whore out" blog, but hey, I figure...

Hey bro welcome back to the home of the Chicago Bears!!! I wish I could help you as far asxa job goes but it took me about 3 months to find a decent job, good luck with the search though!!!

Yeah, I actually just went to my first hockey game a couple weeks ago. Though it was a st louis game, I had a lot of fun. Since then, I have been trying to hit up a blackhawks game but I don't know many ppl that like hockey...

So, moving back to Naperville. Yeah, I'm shocked too.

Long story short, Ashley broke up with me. Not for any bad reasons, we're still best friends. We've just grown apart. It's sad, it sucks, but it's life and I'm ok with it. It happened on the 17th of November.

Since then it seems my life is changing pretty quickly. I'm moving back to Naperville where...

So here's a short one.

Dr. Pepper is one of the best jobs ever!

Ashley's best friend has moved in with us till she gets her new apartment, so at least till November 10th, and that's the earliest. I like her and all, but I really don't like having no alone time with Ashley. I wasn't meant to be celibate.

Other than that, life has...

Work has been stupid busy, we're two people short, and I had a pallet of of dorm fridges fall from 36 feet up and drop through the electrical department smashing a few fans and a bunch of glass. But the good news is Thursday is my...

So, I fell off the edge of the earth it seems. Sorry about that, been super busy.
Ashley and I are secretly planning our wedding and that sort of thing, since we're not engaged yet we're keeping it hush hush. So it makes planning a bit harder. But I am super happy about it!!!! Our tentative date is 11/26/11. No idea where or how big,...

I wish I had a video camera on me at all times.
For the first reason I think everyone that went to the SGIA camping trip will appreciate. The second dog lovers would love.

I took my dog out for a walk at 5 this morning after I got home from work and as we are walking down the nice dark humid street we cross...
