Hodgepodge

Today was a good day in tech class. Our lab was to identify and fix the problem with a computer that our teacher had "broke". Of the 3 symptoms/fixes, I identified 2 of them. I own my class. Yeah, I said it! lol

I'm in a classroom tonight and I'm working on my English paper and this guy comes in and goes "are you tech?" and I said "yup" and he was like "I'm beginning to tell who the tech guys are". LOL it's his first term and that made me feel so good. It's true though, there is a camaraderie with us tech guys. I never felt that connection with gay men but I'm grateful for the tech guys in my class. The guy tonight, he's not part of my class but I'm there for him if he needs help. During our convo he said "I need to hang out with you more experienced tech guys", I loved it! LOL I used to be the new guy (still am in a way) and I look up to the tech guys before me. Now I'm kinda that guy for someone.

My mom called to tell me that unemployment benefits got extended. Nothing on the CA unemployment website yet, but fingers crossed!

Watching football. Life is good. ;) peace

One Hello World

Thanks to Eyre for turning me on to this site, One Hello World. You can call this guy and leave him a voicemail and he will write music to your story, and it's genius and it's beautiful...and it's real!

Ya know, I don't know, maybe it's school, or the fact I have to once again look for a place to live in a little over a month or that since I'm new to this city I don't really know anybody and I'm lonely...but listening to the music and the stories on this website, I just bawled. <- (major run on sentence, my English teacher would be so disappointed) It was very cathartic for me, I feel so much better, maybe not so much optimistic, but definitely better. Please check out the website and for those of you freaks who just come to my blog for the hot guys, pause, and take a moment, you will be glad you did. I've posted some of my faves below:

Hodgepodge

I read a book (yes a whole book), I watched a movie, I took a walk, I surfed the 'net, I did some laundry, I did everything BUT homework or study today. :D And I was okay with that. Tomorrow will be devoted to school and then back to the grind on Monday. This evening I got back to my cousin's place (apartment sitting) and I just sat down with my book and put the laundry in and it was just so...normal. I didn't turn on the TV but of course the laptop was on, but only to Twitter! *grin* I honestly don't remember when I just sat and read in silence (minus clothes cleaning appliances). For the past couple of years it's been about looking for work, moving from one temp job to another and where will I be sleeping tonight? Whose couch, which hotel and for how long. It felt so good to just, be. I know it's not my place but it's familiar here at my cousin's, I spent many a night on this couch, and it just felt so good to...I don't know, not worry. I just got to concentrate on my book and get lost in another world. Was nice. A multitude of emotions today, all positive though...gratefulness, pride, joy, . :) So since my day was quite random and nice, thought I would share. Enjoy! ;) peace
