"Stop bitching and start doing."
I really need to learn to take my own advice.

distressed
I need a job so badly, it's not even funny anymore. I'm getting so desperate for one that I think it's making me depressed. And that's not just because I obviously can't move forward with my life like I want to, but I'm too fucking idle most of the time now. That plus I'm running out of money...

I am very happy with my life. Let me make that clear. I do not have a miserable life...I should rephrase what I've been feeling and say that I am extraordinarily FRUSTRATED with my life's speed of direction right now.

So last Wednesday was my sister's 26th birthday. That day, I drove her and Angela upto the Ben and Jerry's factory in Waterbury, Vermont. It was a nice ride up there - about 3 hours up I-91 and then I-89. Driving the roads of Vermont proved YET AGAIN that Connecticut drivers truly are stupid pricks. It was the first time in a long time that I actually enjoyed being out on the road to the fullest. The three of us took the tour of the factory, and then got to try out a sample of the featured flavor of the day, which was Chocolate fudge brownie. After this, we hung around outside and each got ourselves a little something to enjoy which taking in the surrounding view. What was also cool was that a local carpenter was selling some handcarved ice cream bowls that he made right there on site. Expensive little fuckers they were, but yet of very high quality. After B & J's, we headed to the northern edge of Waterbury (almost in the neighboring town of Stowe) to visit the Cabot cheese store annex and the Vermont Teddy Bear Company. After this, we headed back south on route 100 and then west on route 17 all the way into Crown Point, NY. At this point it was about 6:30 and I needed to fill up my tank again. After passing through Fort Ticonderoga, I drove us to I-87, where I proceeded to travel 88 miles south to Albany. When we got there, it was about 8:30 and we made a much needed stop for dinner at Applebee's to toast to my sis's birthday. Very pleasant. After dinner, I continued east on I-90 and then south again on U.S. 9, switching over to the Taconic State Parkway until finally arriving at I-84. By the time I got Angela back home and then got Teresa and myself home, it was well past 12:30 am on the 30th.
Total driving distance: 561 miles.
Fast Forward...
...So today was my first day at WestConn. It's definitely a higher gear than what I had gotten used to at Naugatuck Valley. I'll be honest; today I felt kinda iffy about being there, continuing with my overall educational plan. Definitely out of place. But then again, I figure after all the introductory beginning-of-the-semester crap is out of the way, things should normalize. I do recall that I had thought the same way about Naugy when I first got there. Anyway, tomorrow at 7:30 pm is my audition for the Jazz Ensemble. I'm definitely nervous, but excited. Wish me luck!>>>

It took three whole years to do it, but I finally received my degree from Naugatuck Valley in the mail today. Associate in Arts in Music... Sounds impressive. Anyway, that was the highlight of my day!

I took a roadtrip up to Hanover, NH today to see Brooks at Dartmouth. Man it is peaceful and pretty here. And I can already tell I'm gonna have a lot of fun. Phi Tau is a rather interesting place to be spending the next few days. To my friends and family: thinking of you always. To Angela (who is pretty much family): baby I miss you!

My car randomly shut down on me .... again! Only this time it didn't restart after a minute. That is pissing me off royally. I had a wonderful day earlier today with Angela despite the fact that my Yankees lost to the fuckin' Red Sox again. Then literally 15 seconds after I pulled out of her driveway to go back home, the thing shitted out on me. Now it's parked on the side of Robinwood Road and it needs to be towed. Damn my luck.

Is it possible to be happier than I've ever been in my life, and yet at the same time be bracing for something that I might have to just suck up and take like a man even though I won't want to hear it?...
Just prepping, just prepping. That's all.
Perhaps a topic for a future LJ post, but we shall see.
Confusing, yes, but it makes sense in my head.

So I finally started working on the 6th after a week of training. I've been on the actual job for well over a week now. I tend to feel like I have no life and that I am very bogged down, but at the same time I also have this rejuvenating feeling that my life is finally moving forward in the way that I've been wanting it to for quite some time. The actual job is not bad at all. It keeps me sharp. I just hate the fact that people suck major balls sometimes. But hey, it'll still be a little while yet as I am getting used to the new schedule and master my job to a science. Plus there will always be those fuckheads that put up a hard time. I can honestly say though that it will be so much easier to do this as I not only get better, but also down the road when I have ~her~ to come home to at night.
Often, I just miss her so much. So sue me and call me a sappy ol' retard!

As of today at 3:00, I am officially an employee at the new Olive Garden in the Waterbury mall. I'm a server, yay! Plus I got something off my chest to Angela. On top of that, I got my confirmation letter for graduation from Naugatuck Valley. So it's an overall good day.

Well, I'm all set with my resume and I am ready to go attack this thing...With some prayers and a little luck, perhaps I'll find another job before the day is out. If not, at least my name will be out there. Tonight: school - ohhhh what fun. It's not that I hate school, it's just that I've been going so long now that I am losing patience with it. Oh well, I'll just keep pushing!>>>

So Friday was awesome, it was Chris's 22nd birthday. A bunch of us went out to eat at TGI Friday's. Excellent food it was, especially the fried macaroni and cheese. Afterward Chris, Christa, Angela, and I went out to Lakewood Lanes and met up with a few more people that either Chris or I knew. More fun times to be had. We did galaxy bowling which really screwed with my vision. But it was cool because I managed to finally get a new high game since I was in the Holy Cross league - 194 baby!! Yesterday I just kinda relaxed and me and Angela went to see Steve for lunch and just sort a few things out business-wise. It's been a pretty good weekend actually. Oh, and I started my first class of the semester on Friday. It went surprisingly well. I've got a good feeling about this psychology class, which is kinda helpful considering this is the third time I'm taking the fookin' class.
Anyway I'm out till next time.>>>

Well, today I'm off to apply for a job at Bozzuto's warehouse in Cheshire. Also, I'm gonna make contact with Dante Galuppo and join the Local 186 musicians' union. I'm excited too because as of right now, I've already applied to graduate from NVCC in May, pending the completion of 1 last course during one of the summer sessions. After all that, all I have to do is pray that the school won't screw me over again. Then I'm free to get my application into WestConn.
(to Angela) Babe, I think that flame might be growing!
Well, I'm outta here!>>>

Amazingly enough, tomorrow is the last day of 2006. I can't believe it. It seems like only recently, it was the first of January. Needless to say, it was a damn good year. I remember feeling like utter shit at the end of 2005 but it seems that one year later, my life did a complete 180. I wonder how I will be doing a year from now...
Last night I played in a hold'em tournament for the first time in God knows how long. I lost my 5 bucks, but at least I had fun and also had the satisfaction of seeing my money go to Steve. Also with us was my old buddy Jordan, who I hadn't seen since May. Then we got to see The Incredibles and then the three of us crashed for the night at Steve's. I slept like shit and now my neck hurts, but it was worth it. Then I got to see Angela around late morning into the early afternoon. She got a new necklace, and it's really pretty. Tonight I'm going to be having dinner at Chris's with him and his parents. Tomorrow...hmmm...good things will be happening and it's New Years Eve so Angela and I will do something to celebrate after she gets out of work.
In the meantime, my endless search for a job continues. Wish me luck!>>>

awake
Well, it's the day before Thanksgiving. The main idea of today is that I just want to get through it. I'm busy until 9:00 tonight with rehearsals and such. Then if I'm lucky, I'll get to see Angela for a while afterward. Other than that, I am really happy for Steve because he has found a girl who just might become the love of his life.
I hope I'll get to see Brooks and a bunch of my high school friends some time before Monday.
