I wish I could BS this whole journal like some people can...but I'm not that good with my words. So plain and simple, this week sucked. My own fault, I know...but doesn't change the fact that it was "a week of my life, that I'll never get back."
Monday, I drove with Jonathan to drop off Seth at the Tampa house. I guess he was supposed to either fill a void, or get applicants...or who knows what. The good thing that came of that day....I got to know Jonathan a little bit better, on the drive back to Orlando. We stopped at a truck stop so Jonathan could smoke and he managed to get recognized by someone, because of CBL. That was a little weird, but I guess it's normal for him..it didn't phase him. It's cool see different sides of Jonathan...in & out of the house, near people...and alone. He seems like a cool guy, one I hope to get to know a little more while here. Zac is probably the only person here who I haven't had a chance, to get to know...hopefully that'll change. I know he keeps busy with the site and the house...so it'll be a challenge.
Tuesday was a typical day for me. Yes, that means I slept in yet again. I pretty much relaxed around the house, went grocery shopping (kind of), did chat, then hit Savoy. While there, I saw Russell. I did actually ask him out, which he agreed to. We'll see it it ever happens. Seems when most people say yes, it's to be nice...and it never actually occurs. Oh well, such is life. After seeing him, I called it an early night...wasn't feeling too well. Not sure what it is, but all week, I haven't been feeling quite up to par. Haven't been able to sleep, stomach all torn up...stressed out. :-/
Wednesday was a bit of a let down, but expected at the same time. For those that recall, I had an interview with Apple on Sunday....and this was the day that I heard back. They emailed me, saying that they're going to go a different route...with people who better meet today's needs. We all know group speaking/collaboration isn't my strong suite...definitely something I need to work on. Whether it'll happen or not, I don't know. I'm not really motivated to change right now. I know I have the skill-set & the knowledge....but it's all about sales. If you can sell yourself, then you're golden...even if you don't know sh*t!!! Anyway, after hearing from Apple, I drove Jonathan to the store, picked up Peter from work (his last day), had a friend over (Jay of course), chilled around the house, did chat, then hit Savoy with Jonathan. Yes, that's right....Jonathan went to Savoy...with me, no less. We had a good time. We ended up meeting Rich there, then Jonathan got a few drinks in him...played darts with me...and did his usual thing...got social :-) It was cool though, fun hanging out.
Thursday, I took Peter to the store....pretty much lounged again. Another day of not feeling well, so I layed low. The night before, I promised Jonathan I'd go with him to PI...which I did. I had one of the later chats...so I ended up meeting them/him there. I didn't stay too long...just enough to make an appearance. PI isn't really my thing..music sucks, people - not so cute, and I just get a weird vibe. I followed thru on my promise though, that's what mattered. I also left at the perfect time, avoided dealing with the whole drunk gang. I'm glad they at least have a night to get trashed together. It means I can pick the one night I don't want to deal with anyone.
Now that half the house is leaving/gone, it'll be interesting though. I'll still be hanging with Clay & Tom a lot...but they'll be busy (as expected). Peter is gone...so the house won't be the same at all. I'm definitely going to miss them...I honestly don't know how I'm going to deal with the few remaining. Obviously, I'm going to watch what I say...and NOT put my true feelings here...as people do read this, then react. So, to keep things simple, I'll keep it to myself! What does that mean for my interactions here?...well, I'll treat as if I do the real world...I'll ignore it!!!...plain and simple!
Friday, again...another shitty day. I woke up throwing up & missed an interview because of it. Worst case, it doesn't come thru...not too worried about that particular job...but certainly going to try to reschedule. I still have my integrity to maintain (make all the jokes you want). After we figured out that the furnace was ON...which would explain why it was so f*cking hot...and probably the thing making me throw up, we cleaned. Yep, that's right...it was cleaning day again...laundry room, theater room, commons & bathroom. Not so fun! I also had to take pics of my motorcycle, to show the dealership the damage done while it was shipped. Hopefully, they'll actually do something about it. Who knows though, wouldn't be a first that they f*cked up. Another buyer beware - DO NOT USE BIKER BOB'S in Taylor, Michigan.
Saturday was much better...but only because I was gone half the day. It started out just by relaxing...hung out near the pool, went swimming, worked on a tan...and just did my own thing. I met Clay & Tom at a wine party/benefit. That was a lot of fun, got to meet new people and experience something different (than the norm.) here in FL. I miss parties like that...parties where people have respect & class. After the party, I hit Savoy & did my usual...played darts. From there, I went to Pulse. It was fun, little slow...but nice to go again. It had been awhile since I went last time. Couple cute boys there, one who's number I got. We'll see if that goes anywhere.....at least make another friend? Went home from there, tried to sleep...but couldn't - nothing new there.
Sunday...it was fun. I got to hang with Clay & Tom...and Peter on their last day at CBL. We went to Tampa and hit Hard Rock Casino. Fortunately, I brought a very limited amount of cash...only enough that I was prepared to lose. After 3 hrs or slots...I walked out with $5 less than when I had started...definitely worth it. It was worth getting out of the house, spending time with really cool people, and just doing something new. Again, I'm really going to miss Clay & Tom...and Peter...A LOT!!! As for tonight, the plan is to hit PHouse. I'll be going alone, one...not that I really have a choice, but two...so I don't have to deal with people. I can do my own thing on my own time. Anyway, I know this was short...not a whole lot happened this week. For those that read the daily happenings, and did the assignment I had posted...you are truly awesome people! You made a difference in someone's life...something they won't forget. However small it was, it matters...and you matter! Thanks! Everyone else...have an awesome week.
