There won't be much humor in this post either.
This is more of a bookmark for my life.
Down the line I can look at this entry an' either laugh uncomfortably or congratulate myself on a job well done.

Start off w/ a mini-update on myself for the peeps that use this as a means to keep tabs on me.

Officially, September's gonna be the last month for the house I spent 2/3 of my lifetime living in.
Barring any unforeseen financial miracles, that's the longest we can keep off foreclosure.

Real Estate license is useless for me at the moment.
I more or less quit my group last week after I got forced to take a mini-vacation an' ended up losing three clients during that period that I was working with personally for the past few years.
Generally: lots of work + high stress + commission only + no wages = pointless

Only income's coming from p/t bartending and karaoke hosting gigs.
Speaking of hosting...

Wednesday nights from 7-11pm.
Elks Lodge in Oceanside.
Hot Hits Entertainment with your host Reggie!
Apparently I've also been nominated for best new KJ (Karaoke Jockey), which feels weird for me.
-----------------------

I guess it's safe to say I feel like my life is stalled at the moment.
Been interviewing for a new career job since last August, go figure.
Go to the interview(s), kick ass, take names, chew bubblegum afterwards, get caught in a hiring freeze.
Fun cycle.
Be even better if I actually qualified for unemployment checks like the rest of my friends.
At this point, I'm pretty certain it's the lack of steady income that's held me back from at least 5 amazing women that could've changed my relationship status this year.

For now, I don't want to focus on my long-term goals.
They're all still there.
I have faith everything'll fall into place eventually.
I'd just like to focus on the present an' things I actually have control over.
The following is pretty much a to-do list for this week.

- Stop letting myself get dragged down by negative friend(s) and/or just take a break from them.
- Recharge my optimism.
- Recharge my patience.
- Finish up the two novels I'm reading.
