I can honestly say I am happy for the moment. Anxious, yes, wondering what my fortune or path will soon be, but glad to know I am out of that crappy muck of a job. I got done what I needed to paid off my car, got a little money under my belt, but now I can find a job of my liking to get me to Portland.
I figure I love videogames and have tried to apply as a manager at Gamestop before, but heck I don't need a ton of cash and I do like actually learning how to do a job my employee's will do so starting at the bottom is A okay with me. I can learn the ropes hopefully get in with good nature with the right people and get my foot in the door to manage and have an opportunity to transfer to Portland, Oregon. And even if I can not transfer at least I will be working a job here in Las Vegas that I like and will be happy in even if the money is not great. Eventually save enough money to get out of Vegas and I'm okay staying one year here as long as I am happy and not miserable.
Once up in Portland I plan to have enough money to find either a room for rent probably since my credit is so damn bad or possibly a small apartment if I am credit worthy at the time. Once I'm nice and cozy if I do not have a job immediately in place I will find work but have enough money where I have some time to locate a job. I want to find a decent job where I can save some money and attend a community college, gain residency, and eventually attend the University of Oregon and graduate with a Sports Management degree. If I can do this I will totally feel I have made a great accomplishment a life accomplishment, one that was against the odds and actually personally felt like I made it. Will this be extremely difficult? Yes. Is it possible? Yes. Can I do it? Yes!

What a day!
Just for a day, it was one of those days, so beautiful outside with clear blue skies a nice crisp 65 degrees, walking through lovely paths, golden and red leaves laden on the path, enabling for the moment and even the day to forget about my worries and just look up at the blue sky and down on the earth, and realize how beautiful this world can really be.
I have spent the last couple of months working for another resort in Las Vegas, NV called The Cosmopolitan. It is actually a nice resort very distinct and boutique luxurious, but as with any resort my luck I get the douche of douche bags as a boss. Someone who didn't know what they were doing, pretending to know everything, and definitely acted like it. I just believe life is too short to have to handle so much crap. Maybe if it was my first time around the block I could have handled it but having dealt with so much previous bullshit, I knew this would be an ever going day after day dealing with someone I didn't respect and didn't like at all. And at the end of the day I was somewhere I did not want to be anyways, so this guy rubbing me the wrong way and I doing all the work for him so he can have a department, I said in my own way to him, "GO FUCK YOURSELF" and basically let this guy swim on his own. What a douche bag always leaning on me to do everything than trying to tell me what to do at times. Hierarchy got to love it. I am not going to waste my time to really explain all what truly makes this fool such a tool, but trust me when I tell you, he was a capital HOMO!
Life is so damn short, so short, and we have no freaking idea when or what will really happen. My sister Marguerite was married recently on Sunday, November 28 at 2pm, four days after her 30th birthday to her boyfriend of four years Nathan Knee. The reason for their sudden marriage was heavily due to the fact that he was diagnosed this month with melanoma cancer which is cancer of the skin. Well, that's at least how it started, supposedly he had a giant mole grow on his back 10 years ago or so that he never got treated for. He had been coughing since mid October, he went to the doctor and thought it was just a case of being sick with bronchitis, but after not getting better he went back to the doctor and they took X-Rays of his chest. The X-Ray found 2 masses in his lungs. This prompted the doctor to send him to get a CT scan which is a detailed procedure to see what is in his lungs. The results were not good unfortunately they found several nodules or masses in his lungs and a few days later after also doing a biopsy the doctors found out that is was Melanoma Cancer, after hoping for lymphoma which the doctors thought it might be, and not hoping for Lung Cancer which was also a possibility, but the true shocker came from the news that it started as skin cancer, but has now spread to his lungs. Any day now he will do a full body PET and CAT scan to see if the cancer is anywhere else in his body. This poor, poor guy, this is so scary and so not right to happen to anyone, but really hits home when someone so close to the family is so sick with such a real life threatening disease. We always try to tell ourselves it will be just fine and most of the time it really is but when it turns out not to be when so young it appears not real or some nightmare, it is hard to imagine this is actually happening, and what about Nate its actually happening to him, I can not even imagine what he must be going through. As of now he is still coughing, and is in pain a lot of pain in his shoulder and sometimes his leg/groin area. All positive energy must go towards him and getting him better.
My sisters wedding will be a day I will never forget. She and Nate looked so great and so happy! Margi had a white creme colored dress on and Nate was real sharp with a striped 3 piece suit and tie. My mother, sister Addie, Nate's brother Ken, Nate's parents, and our friends were there to celebrate the event. It was such a harmonious day. At the end of it all, me, Marg's, Nate, and Jon my best friend, all played Smart Ass at the house it was great!
We must follow our dreams and love our families and friends, and spend as much time with them and our passions as much as we can. For the time we have on this earth is not guaranteed tomorrow so we must live every minute every second to the fullest.
