So I have decided that no one really reads my blog. Not that I mind, it gives me a place out in cyberspace that I can share my thoughts and observations or whatever. Actually, I think I just have blog envy. I look at some of friends or family and they have TONS of people that comment. Oh well..that's how it flows.

On the exciting front, I have an interview tomorrow morning. Yippie! But I don't want to get too excited, this is just the beginning. I need to be very selective and really decide what it is that I want. What will make me happy. I will gladly shovel hay if that will make me smile and alleviate some of my stress.

So how is this for irony jumping into you email box in the morning. I subscribe to a daily email thing that said this

"Everybody in our life – one way or another - comes to help us in our correction process.  Even the people who may hate us: ex-husbands, disgruntled employees, downstairs neighbors, former friends.  Every person in our life is here to awaken another part of our correction. 
It doesn't mean we aren't going to react.  We can't always expect to thank someone who slaps or slanders us.  But in the bigger picture, if we look at ourselves from afar, we can see that everyone in our life is here to teach us. 

Today, as you deal with unpleasant people - especially the ones taking a big bite out of you – say a silent "thank you."  Know they are there to open something for you in your corrective process."

Yup, just what I needed today. I think I said thank you a billion times today, kill 'em with kindness, I can make it though this.

You would be surprised- for every person who comments, there are a ton more out there reading your blog who do not comment. I am relatively new to blogging as well, and I find out each day in a round about way that people who I would never guess are reading my blog. It is intriguing to try and figure out how they even found it. For some reason, we like to "drop in" on other's lives, but we like to do so privately. What does that say about human nature? :-) I am your cousin Amanda's sister-in-law, so I know Kim and Shawn as well, and I am a faithful reader of their blogs (if Shawn would ever post again!). I hop over to your blog every now and again from Kim's. I have enjoyed reading about your hockey highlights and your Act rides, etc. I am glad you are at a good place in your life and congratulations on your new home! How exciting! So, just remember, you never know who is reading and you DO have an audience! Much luck to you in your job search- I hope you can find something that you are happier with. I enjoy my job tremendously (teaching), and it does make a difference in your life since we do spend so much of our lives at our jobs. Take care!

I second what Sarah said! I love reading your blog and hearing about your daily life. Especially since I feel so far away from you. I know that I don't always comment, but I ALWAYS read what you got going on. Don't quit blogging because then I wouldn't be able to be a part of your daily life. Good luck with your job hunt and I hope that you find something that satisfies your entire soul. I too love my job and can't imagine what it would be like to work somewhere I hated to go. I love the quote and I think that those are positive but difficult words to live by. I don't think that I could say those "thank you's" without the strength of God.

My Memory

This time of year one hears a lot about national coming out day  which happens to fall this week. So I decided that it would be a good time to share my story as well. I spent the day yesterday retracing my first few months in Madison down on State Street. When I first moved here I really did not have anywhere to go and I certainly didn't know anyone, so I would spend hours walking down the street and watching people. Many times I would sit and write or read, I find that this was one of the most creative periods of my life. Anyway, it amazed me then, and I felt it yesterday, that even around so many people a person can feel so alone. I knew long ago that I was gay, I would say early teens. Unfortunately, where I grew up and in my family, being gay was one of the biggest taboos that one could be. Growing up in such a religious family and area, diversity was not high on the list of things encouraged. When I finally accepted myself I was resigned to ...

Where has the time gone?!

That just made me feel like Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean "why is the rum always gone?!" Seriously I don't know where the time went, moving has completely consumed my everyday life for about the last 3 weeks, however, it's all over now. Sometime this week I will head over to the apt to turn in the keys and kiss it goodbye, Friday we have to be gone. The cool thing is that on Sunday we cleaned the whole place so it's all done really..just have a TV to take to the house, but we didn't have a spot big enough at the moment so we figured that would give us a day or two. With that being said, the last week has been one of the most stressful I have had in a long time. I am disappointed in the vast amount of poor customer service individuals representing such major companies. Thanksgiving found us sitting in the living room of the new house, gathered around the TV for the football game. We were all sitting in any folding chair we could find. 1 plate shor...

It's been a while

I realized today that it has been a while since I have written anything on here so I thought I would catch up on the past few days. Hockey has been awesome! I don't really know how to put it into words, it was a lifesaver for me. It has given me something to be a part of again, I didn't realize just how much I missed being an athlete. I find myself striving to be better..although I find myself striving for that in almost everything now days. It is extremely scary to try something new, to branch out from your comfort zone and put oneself out there. But the people I have meet are such wonderful individuals, folks I have probably seen over the years but never talked to before. The house buying process is interesting, we looked at 6 homes on Sunday, only 1 or 2 decent ones. In fact I drove by 1 of them again tonight, just to get a feel in the dark. I actually like this one, but I don't want to make a rush decision and just like the one I saw first. So, by nature, my lack of d...
