Oct. 8th, 2008 @ 10:47 pm Presidentail Race
Current Mood: blah

I am so sick of politics.. i dont think either obama(not enough experience, he was only in the senate for less than2 years before he started running for office, has good ideas but not enough experience) or mccain( has years of experience, but is too old?, but he has palin at his side and I think its time we got a lady in the office, plus i really like her stand on values) are fit to be president. I am so torn as to who to vote for to the point that i am considering not voting at all.  I think this election has been overplayed way too much.  Half of the networks are on the democratic side and just about the only netword that defends Mccain is Fox news..its almost as if obama has already won.  This electoin is just too ridiculous. november can you come sooner?



On a side note...I finaly got Internet!!! whoohoo.

Wow I just finally looked a my lj and realized that i hadnt wrote in here for like 3 months...geee lol. Goes to show how fast time goes and how busy ive been.  I went to New York in my and had a great time seeing friends again and catching up with everyone.  I miss you guys!! :-).   Life is about the same. I am just busy working alot.  I am working 4 hrs a day, 4 days a week at the warehous for the school which is really only 16hrs a week.  and i am working at walmart about 40 hrs a week.  I have decided to leave walmart mart effective July 14th as I need some free time to be able to really search for jobs and get my stinkin weekends back..i seriously miss having the weekends off.  I have been really active in the youth ministry I work with right now and I really enjoy it.  Things have been moving along really well and we are growing every month.  The founder of the minsitry unfortunately left the church cause his church was being selfish and wouldnt support him in his ministry fully.  So for now I think we will be taking a break till he can find a new church home.  Last week I went to a youth bible camp and had an awesome time. My favorite part of the camp was water wars.  After everything was done we all strating throwing the leftover wate balloons and water at each and it created quite a huge mud hole. so we started throwing each other into the mud. it was a blast, i never had so much fun in mud. in fact it was the first time i ever played in the mud like that.  But it was good to go to the camp as I ran into an old pastor of mine from when I lived in phoenix. It was really cool to have him as the main speaker as I really enjoy his preaching and he is a fast talker lol. Alot of my friends were saying he shouldnt be a preacher he should be a sports announcer(kinda funny considering hes big on sports).    But other than that i just been working and saving up money and just..well chilling when I can.  I had a job interview a couple weeks ago with the county for a workforce partnership caseworker position, I got the letter yesterday informing me that they chose another person.  I kinda wasnt surprsied but what really surprised me was how down i felt.  I just was really emotional and it got to me i guess.  It has been really frustrating for me and it hasnt gotten any easier.  I might consider doing somthing else instead of counseling if I dont find something soon.  i have been looking in to graduate courses and am thinking about getting my masters in youth ministry or christian leadership.  I just need to pick which one i want to do and ill be set to go by wintersemester 2008/2009.  We will see.  I guess thats it for now.  Please stay in touch everyone! I miss talking to all of you! laterz

 It has been faaarrrrr tooo long since I last wrote in here.  Nothing much has changed since i last wrote lol.  I still work at the school as a Campus Monitor, and I also now work at Wal-mart at nights and weekends too.  I origionally got the job at Wal-mart because 1) i was bored alot, even with the job searches and everything I was still bored and didnt have much to do, 2) I wanted to make more money so i could save it up for the summer so i can do some traveling. 3) so i can be able to do some stuff since my money i made from working at the school was just enough to cover rent, food, and gas. that was about it.  But since then ive been working and still extensively looking for a job.  I am still dealing with CPS.  They keep saying they want to hire me but nothing ever happens but it still somthing I can try for, better than nothing is how i see it.  I am going to try for my Bachelor's in Social Work certification this summer and hopefully start on my Master's degree this summer too.  I really hope one of the two things will help me to find a job in the social work/ counseling field.  But till then I just got to keep trying and keep working towards finding a good job.  My life has been pretty boring and I admit it can use some tweaking.  My social life is....well...dead. heh.  I know working two jobs is prob part of the reason but still I have free time, but its just frustrating that Ive been here for almost a year now and still dont' have that many friends.  I've tried, but i just feel so misplaced here.  I know one thing is for sure, if nothing improves in the job search im going to start looking outside AZ i hate to but i gotta make a living and I need to get going on my life. I just can't sit around till im 40 for somthing to happen.  Well I think thats about all I have to say for now. I could say more but i dont want to write too much haha :-P  Stay in touch all, I miss talking to alot of you.  Take care and I hope all is well.

 Wow, its been way too long since I last wrote in here.  Things have been going alright, nothing majorily new or exciting. I live in Show Low,AZ now which is nice as its much closer to work and breaks the drive down from 2 hrs to a 20 min drive to work lol.  I like the convience of it too since its in town i can get alot more done and try to get out and meet more people(which i really need to work on heh).  I am still looking for a job realted to my major and no luck so far.  its frustrating at time but im just hanging in there.  I think pretty soon im just going to start looking outside AZ cause just havent had much lukc in the half a year that ive been looking for a social work job.  wow, half a year? geesh where the time go, seems like it was just yesterday that I graduated.    Well My brain is just blanked out right now lol, so cant think of any thing more to say.  untill next time, ciao.

Current Music: Clean Hands- Chris Tomlin
Hellow everyone! About darn time I did an update lol.  
I have been soooooooooo busy these last few months.  It's been insane and crazy all at the same time but its been tremoundously awesome.  For those of you who do not know, I finally got a job.  It's not the job I really wanted but I was at the point where i'd take anything i could.  I work at a local high school as a campus security officer.  It's a nice job.  They have already offered me to possibly work at the high school next year or in 2 years as a High school counselor.  That is a great opportunity and I am willing to take it once it opens up.  For now I am just getting into the flow of things and getting settled into my job, getting to know the staff and students.  The school is really awesome and I love the job so far.  Good pay and 40 hrs a week.  
      I have also been extremely busy with a youth ministry which we call "Team Berea" that I am helping my friend out with and it has just been a great blessing to be working with the kids and instilling self discipline in them.  You can check out the website if you want: www.teamberea.com.  We base this minsitry on the teachings and minsitry of Teen Mania Minsitries which is based in Texas.  My friend has done alot for this group and it is a great experience for me to be able to help him out in his ministry.
       I have seriously been taking into consideration of becoming a Youth Pastor. I have been praying alot about this and still got some more research to do but it looks pretty promising.  I'll probably more than likely be taking online classes so its a little more convient. So that way I can work at the same time and take classes.
      I am also starting to finally get hold of my finances and taking better care of it. I have been taking a financial class for the third of 4th time but this time im taking it more seriously then i did before.  Ever since taking the class things have been going up hill and starting to look up. It helps even more now that I have a job.  VR has been very helpful in helping me get a job which i am very grateful for their assistance.  Now I am just looking for a place to live close to my work area, since I have about a 2hr drive to work.  It takes alot of gas out of my car and come winter time I need to be closer to my work area incase the highways are closed down during snow storms.  I havent had much luck in finding an apartment yet but I am keeping my fingers cross i find one soon.  
   I've been a music addict lately, just about all I do is listen to music(mostly christian music) and its just soo much fun! I can't wait to finally get my guitar lesson book tomorrow as I can finally actually start learning to play the guitar. I know most of the basic keys but I want to actually learn a song.  
     Well I think thats about all the update i got for now..lol. My mind is like going full blast. soo much to do but so little time! wow.  I sure definitely miss all you RIT'ers  It finally hit me last week when RIT started that I wasn't going back.  It feels weird but I eventually will get used to the idea of finally being out on my own.

I hope you all are doing well and stay in touch! I would love to hear how you all are doing.

Jul. 30th, 2007 @ 02:12 pm Patience Pays off in the end
http://www.d-pan.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=36&Itemid=45

I thought this video was really awesome.  Should check it out.

Anyways, Nothing has been happening in my life much and frankly its a little frustrating. I am trying my hardest to be positive and hoping the somthing will change soon.  I just get really frustrated when I can't find a job.  I have decided that by the end of August if I don't get a confirmed job then I need to move to another place. Where? I don't know Ive thought abotu california and New York(but i dont like ny that much heh).  I have been waiting for a month to find out what is going on with the CPS job and frankly its just frustrating when they keep putting me off. At least thats how I feel. Yeah they may be busy and I need to be a little more patient but its been almost 2 months since my first interview so..you can understand my frustration.  They keep saying they want to hire me and Ive formally accepted thier job offer but they havent done anything to that.  I really don't have time to lay around waiting I really need a job so I can financially support myself.  But in the end patience can pay off.  So I am willing to wait as long as I have to. If I do actually get this job then this will open alot of doors for me.  Just have to wait and see what happens.  I made my move, now it's time to make theirs.

Anyways how is your summer going so far you all?  have any interesting summer stories?  Let's hear them lol.  I don't have much to say except ive been surviving the monsoon season, we had some major rain for 4 days straight and it has been awesome, except its flooded alot of areas hah.  but it;s nice to see water in good ole az again. My mom was telling me the other day the last time they had rain was back in january or february!..thats a long dain time and this rain is a good thing for us.  Other then that nothing much has been occuring in my life. just same old same old, watching movies, listening to music, working on my book, and catching up on my endless collection of books, and learning to play with my guitar thats about all.

Jul. 23rd, 2007 @ 01:20 pm Summer Days
Hola! This past weekend was probably the toughest weekend for me as i had alot of decisions to make about whether to take the Child Protectives Services Job or not.  After alot of praying and talking to other people for advice and input I have decided to accept the position.  I called the supervisor today and he was estatic to hear that I accepted the job offer.  He has to take care of some things first but will call me back sometime this week to start getting things rolling such as my start date, paperwork, and registration for my 6 week training course.  I am very excited about this job as this job is a good entry for me to be able to get into future state jobs.  I think that is about it.  My summer hasnt been all that exciting just been looking for jobs most of the time and chilling at home.  My social life here I admit needs some work but I think it will get better soon just need to be patient and takes time.
