I blame Khaled for pulling me into this meme craze.
Four jobs I’ve had in my life
- Bowling Center Service Engineer: I spit-polished bowling shoes (okay, maybe not), prepped lanes for play (say that ten times slow) and basically stood behind the counter at a bowling center pretending to actually know what I was doing.
- Retail Monkey: I think we’ve all done this at one time or another. For me, it was working at a local “Organize Everything”-type store. At one point I was actually designing closets using an in-house CAD program, but mostly I was leaning on a ladder while taking items from overstock and shoving them onto the shelves.

There’s been something on my mind lately and it now feels like a good time to finally reveal that to you, without feeling completely embarassed. There’s nothing quite like a nagging thought, jumping up and down in your mind like that energetic classmate who realized the answer just before you did, remember that kid? Frantically waving his hand, while trying to maintain a sense of mental stability, yeah, that’s how I feel right now so let me just spill it.
We need another 80’s movie.

Even though this is slightly belated considering your birthday was on December 30th, 2005 thank you for the last two years of absolute joy and reminding both your mother and father that a child exists in all of us and all it takes is a small bit of laughter and curiosity of the unknown.

To all of you who have emailed me or sent a message via the more traditional and yet sluggish snail mail, thank you and yes, I am alive and breathing. Let me backpedal about two (or three) weeks ago to further explain why the dust gathered here and god willing has “finally” settled.
Around the beginning of December I was regretfully let go from my previous position as a Graphics/Web Designer after three years of a solid work ethic. The reason for my previous employer’s decision in letting me go had to do with “conflict of interest” and more specifically the fact I would occassionally freelance on the side, something that they were well informed of previously but I always felt it would come back to haunt me and it did.
