Sending holiday joy and love to all of you!!! I pray that you have a wonderful time with your family and mates. As for me, I will be doing the same thing and taking the day off of writing and planning to give them my undivided attention. It’s either that or my brother is not going to let me live it down.
Finally…FINALLY…FINALLY!!! I’M FINALLY GETTING A NINTENDO SWITCH!!! In the words of Prishe, from Final Fantasy XI: “It’s about damn time!” My older brother is taking me to Delaware to avoid the tax (we’re cheap like that. Haha!) I know I’m a year, or so, late but there’s a semi-good reason for it…
Another week has gone by as I work on various things on both work and career. Now, this week was a bit slow but still packed quite a punch. Well…a rather big punch. I would like to call it a hyper combo. There has been nothing but good news circulating around me and I’m so proud of two people. I have to shout it out for the whole world to hear!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. I pray that you are having a wonderful time with your friends and loved ones at the dinner table while digesting fabulous foods. I know I will and it will also be a day where I’m going to be keeping my hands away from my pen and paper. That’s right. I’M TAKING A DAY OFF!!! Haha! It’s also because I’m forever thankful for my family and just being able to give thanks. Just remember that, okay? “I’m thankful for being able to give thanks.”
This is the week I will never forget. It is a week that will live on in the back of my mind as I continue to walk the path I was placed. You want to know the crazy thing about all of this: I was completely blind sighted by it all and I chose to take the high road. Oh, right, you still don’t know what happened to me, do you? I was rejected from a job because of my location.
Okay, let me start off by saying that traveling cross country via Greyhound is a wonderful idea in concept. But – my GOD – it is a very difficult test of endurance and sanity. Though I got to take pictures and explore numerous states and cities (I think eight states and over a twenty cities), the real prize, after enduring such a grueling trip, was the new friends I made throughout this journey.
So, my time in San Francisco is temporarily on hold because of a few reasons. One of the main reason is that I am a bit homesick…which leads to my second reason. I need to regroup in preparation to make San Francisco my permanent home. But there’s so much more than that.
I’m still traveling around San Francisco and having fun with the energy that this city. But, that doesn’t mean that I’m resting on my bum as I’ve been hard at work on my projects…well…one project at a time, really.
My goodness…San Francisco is amazing. It’s warm (major plus). It’s vivid. It’s full of personality. And, much like Philadelphia and New York, everybody here is always on the move. But getting there was a complete and utter nightmare of the funny variety. A very funny variety.
My brothers and I have always had the greatest conversation when it comes down to the finer points of family value. Sure, I love talking to my Grandma and Mother but I’ve always been close to my little brother, Antonio, and my older brother, Carlton. Those two are the main reason why I have a phone; you know, besides work (begrudging) and other nonsense. But this past week’s conversation was particularly interesting.
