| How nice. I woke up to 24 degree weather. I really love the cold. Bring it on! It snowed earlier this week. Nothing stuck since it was still a little on the warmer side of freezing. Regardless, it was still beautiful. Makes ya wanna cuddle. So I was talking to someone here recently. She was nice, very driven, and funny. Things that really attract me. She did however possess qualities that are a turnoff for me. I know that sounds harsh but I need to be fair to myself too. I need to take a dose of my own medicine and know where to draw the line. I have values that would need to be swept under the carpet to be in a relationship with her. I now need to tell her that we can only be friends. From these current circumstances, we can have no future. Where has the passion gone? I've been so engrossed in my own life right now that I feel my relationship with God is not nearly as strong as it used to be. I must let things go and fight to get back to that place with him I once had. In the house of God, I see everyone sitting around His feet and I feel like I'm working in the garage. I feel so rebellious. Things must change. I do love God. Jesus is my Lord. I need pray. Please pray. Justin | | |
| Okay, these past 2 weeks have been kinda crazy. Work is so busy and has left me with little time to myself. I'm not complaining. I'm happy I have a job. This past week was our yearly sales convention Ambition. Ambition 09 went great. It's a very energetic environment. People are walking around pumped, energized and star struck. LOL. They finally get to mingle with each other and their higher-ups. It's cool for us in Consultant Support too. We finally get to talk face to face with the people we help everyday. Well, I haven't been doing Kenpo much lately. We're having to work OT now, so that cuts an hour off my personal schedule. That usually excludes a good 3 classes a week for me. The other reason is my knee. I hurt it a couple of weeks back and it's just getting to where I can start moving on it other than just a walk pace. LOL. I called in yesterday. My allergies these past two or three days have been horrible. :P What can you say, you know? I did get to drop off my truck and have the spark plugs changed. Today I go in at ten AM so I think I'm well enough to make it to work. | | |
| These recent days have been busy ones. From work to Karate and back. Whew! It's plain nuts. That's okay. I don't mind at all. It's what I want to be doing. I feel kinda bad though. I have a friend who's been dying for me to go visit her and show her how to make rice, but I just can't find the time. I informed her the only free time I have is Monday. I work Monday but I do have the evenings off. I am constantly on the go. Everyone's been asking me when I'm going back to school. I really want to. I need to make an effort to find a school near my work. I can only go part time. It's better than nothing, right? Cooking is what I want to be doing as a career. Maybe a Quad C school? Karate is going well. I'm a yellow belt and we test next month. I should move up soon. I've got most of the techniques down. I just have to learn 1 form. I'm sure I'll get it. Woo Hoo! I'm getting excited just thinking about it. Tomorrow I was supposed to go work out but I told my brother I'd go to a business presentation with him. I don't want to say much right now, so I'll leave it be. Well, I have sad news. My extended family has lost a couple of pets since I last wrote. Ally, the cat who lived with us for some time was recently hit by a car. She died. :( Kyuken, my brothers Doberman Pincer died too. :( That was really sad for me too. I was close with both animals. Well, I leave you all with a hug and love. I wish you all the best. Be good. God Bless, Justin | | |
| Okay, it's been forever and a day since I've written on here. Life has gotten crazy but is going a lot better. What would life be without it's trials. Well, easy I guess. I'm still doing the same thing, waking up early. Going to work. Then I usually go to Kenpo. :) I tested and got two stripes. I'll be testing for yellow belt this coming month. I can't wait. The school I go to is a very good school. All the upper belts seek out oportunities to help you improve. I guess it doesn't help that my brother has been going there for quite some time. :P Work now adays has it's challenges. Working with an ex really makes things tough. Friends one minute, the next min she totally ignores me. I guess I should just say, "Who Cares!?!" It's her loss of a friend. Blah. Okay, so my friend created a blog and now he wants me to write articles on relationships for him. I guess that is a good match up. I just got out of a relationship (not too long ago). I'm still a bit bitter. LOL That should make for a great article. What should be my first topic? Hmmm. Well, I must go. I'm going to my brothers and it's a long drive. I'll tty soon. Justin | | |
| Okay, it's very late. 11:06PM and I need to be up early in the morning. :P I wanted to get up at 4:30 but I know that's not going to happen. I'll settle for 5. I have so much to do. Work out, work, church and then work out again. Blah... I'll be fine. Just complaining. Well, this evening I went to go see my neices and nephews at Kenpo. :) They graduated to yellow belts. I'm so happy for them. My brother goes to that same school so he kinda showed me around. I'm interested in attending that school too. The only issue is the distance. It's pretty far from my job and I'll probably be gone most of the time. I'll just suck it up and sign up. I'm sure it'll be okay, but I still need to pray about it. I don't want to overload myself and be useless. :) If you can, keep me in prayer as well. Life's crazy at times, isn't it? Well, I'm off to bed. Up in almost 6 hours. Love you all, Justin | | |
