Another post...

Wow!  So, I haven't written in this thing in awhile (again).  I guess this is a reoccuring habit, eh? I'm trying!  Not that very many people read this thing anyways.  Oh well!  For the select few that do actually read this, here's the update!

Work is still going good.  I'm afraid that I'm getting burnt out a bit, but I'm managing.  I do really enjoy the work up here.  I just feel kinda lost at what to do since they can only keep me on for so long.  The thought of being let go looming over my head isn't exactly an uplifting thought.  I'm seriously trying to find a job, but I haven't had much luck yet.  I've got a couple interviews lined up, but not sure where those will go.  Hope for the best!

My fire class is going good.  I'm learning a lot and trying to do my best.  I'm no superstar, but I'm really loving the experience.  I'm officially running with the volunteer fire crew up here in the canyon and that's a lot of fun.  Good camraderie and expereince.  I sure hope I pass the class in March and get certified! That will ease a lot of my stress!

Not much else really going on here.  Just a guy, trying to make a run at it in this world.  I have gone dancing quite a bit the last few weeks.  And that makes me happy!!!  No new news in the dating scene.  There are a few girls I've got my eyes on, but I haven't made any moves yet.  Most of these girls are unreachable (on missions, elsewhere in the country/world). I think my family is doing good.  Things seem to be fine from all the reports that I've gotten.  Overall, I'm happy and enjoying life.  I have very little to complain about right now, which is great! I do wish, however, that I could improve a couple of things.  But that will happen in time! Yea!

A new year!

Hmm...it's kinda odd to think that it's already 2009.  I can't believe it!  Another year has come and gone.  Due to the new year, I've decided to fall into the commonality of evaluating the past year and set aspirations for the upcoming one.  I wouldn't call it a New Year's Resolution, only hopes and dreams and an occasional goal or two.  It's weird to see how my priorities have shifted over this past year.  Things that once were so crucial seem so insignificant now.  I'm not where I thought I would be a year ago, but that's not necessarily bad.  Just different.  It's fun for me to think of the potential that this upcoming year has and what can be done with it.  Who knows where I'll be next year!?!

Not much has happened the past few weeks.  The holidays were good. Spent most of it hanging out with friends.  I didn't go home this year, a first for me, due to my work schedule and other conflicts.  Kinda felt odd to be away from family during the season that we all focus so much on them.  Didn't really do anything miraculous or exciting.  Just a nice, relaxing kind of holiday.  Work has become a large part of my life (since there's not much else going on in my life currently).  I've become more and more of a workaholic as each week passes.  I really ought to add more to my life, but I just haven't found the venue to do such.  Church remains the same.  I seem to associate with only a core group of friends at church, although I try to branch out and mingle with others.  I don't seem to get too far, though.  The job hunt remains the same: nothing is happening.  It's hard to find employment when everything around is so tightened and stressful.  I'm remaining optomistic about the future and looking at several options.  One new option I have considered is returning to school to pursue a different degree.  Firefighting has become a growing passion within me, and I've debated over whether to pursue a career in firefighting or not.  It does go well with the degree I've already got, so that's not an issue.  Financing further educational pursuits is really the only concern that I have.  We'll see what I decide!
