Lost In Translation

I have to many blogs lol

I was looking at my old LiveJournal that I used to post on, then I looked at my Wix website that I created as a creative portal to my artistic side.  I transferred blog posts from those and posted them here.  I'm just going to get rid of the LiveJournal and as for the website; I'm going to continue to post quick views of the first paragraph of each blog post on here and just link it to the full one here.  That way I can still keep my website for other projects and stuff.

Anywho

I'm not sure if I want to write about what I feel like I want to write about...does that make sense?

The topic is "Meeting new people of the opposite sex."

The only thing i'll say right now is that she is beautiful, smart, funny and likes to talk to me so that has to be a plus, right?

Well folks, I think i'll end it there.  I have tomorrow off so i'm sure i'll be posting again with something to say.



Until next time,
Matt

Late Night Venture...

January 16th, 2014

10:57pm


Today has been a struggle from the moment my eyes opened.  I didn't want to go to work today based on the fact that the weather has not been forgiving.  I have to ride a bicycle everywhere I go so that makes the previous statement gain a little more weight on the situation.  Nevertheless I made it to work at 9:30am to clock in at 10am.  Then when I get to work I am faced with dealing with a not-so-nice supervisor that had to process a truck this morning which meant I had to take care of stocking everything on my side of the store by myself.  I have no problem doing my job but when minuscule tasks I do get me yelled at by said supervisor...I tend to get a little aggravated.  Alas...I do what is asked of me and continue until I get off at 2pm [yeah short shift, I know].

I get to my current place of residence safely and with little to no feeling in my face and legs.

BACKSTORY
I was living with my best friend and his gf in an apartment up until a few weeks ago because of a few differences in personality and living habits.  It was a mutual agreement so no hard feelings are present.  I was offered to take up residence in my other best friends' parents home, rent free, until I save up money and get back on my feet.  This is my current residency...or...well kinda.

Which brings me to the next staple of this blog entry; they are now reconsidering the terms of our agreement on the basis of a few personal details of my life that they really have no business of knowing.

BACKSTORY
I lost my job, I broke up with my fiance and had to leave a house that I helped make a home a year or so ago and at the time I had a brand new 2012 Kia Forte which I had to give up because of not being able to keep up with payments.  Which means that is on my record but not as a repossession.

Because of that they now feel that I am incapable of regaining my foothold in life financially, which I've done before with the same circumstances.  So here I am, at Denny's, wondering why people get so scared over things that they shouldn't even think about.

Basically, this is why she says they can't help me;

I have one bill for $91 from my bank account from an overdraft that I had to make to get food at the old apartment...easily taken care of.  She knew about this and was ok with it.

I have an old cell phone bill of unknown dollar amount at this time which I believe is a little over $100 which is not hard to take care of with proper budgeting.  She knew about this and was ok with it.

I have to pay another third of rent from my old apartment because none of us gave proper 30 day notice to the office, which amounts to $220.  She knew about this and was ok with it.

As well as last months electric bill, which includes overdue payments which were spread out over the last few months to even out the bill.  That totals to $173 and some change.  This I forgot to tell her about because it slipped my mind.

All of that amounts to $584 but the only things that I have to focus on right now is the $220 and $173 since those have a specific date to pay.  So $393 is what I have to come up with by the end of the month, and honestly...i'm not sure if even that is possible since my hours at work are rather low at this time.  This week I was able to get 20 hours and that's only because I asked for more hours which is where the 4 hour shift yesterday and today come into play.  Next week I'm only working two days which brings me 14 hours for next week.

So that is where I am right now, broken of spirit...void of emotion and craving a cigarette.  I think I'm going to end this blog here and go outside for a smoke.



Until next entry, goodnight peoples.
