So here I am, back again, lol. It has been a tad longer than I had wanted to post, but I kept putting it off, and then I am the master of that. I have been and continue to put things off, and it has been pissing me off as of late. I vow to take a stand on it and fix my old habits, but I always seem to put it off till the next day. It is a Ferris wheel of failure going on in my life because of procrastination. Horrible.
On another note, I just blasted by yet another birthday and am one more day closer to being old. It was just like the last 6 of my birthdays, spent far from home and away from friends, but I did have homemade ice cream cake from an extraordinary lady and friend. It was perfect, and anything made with love is going to be good and brighten anyone's day. I have no real complaints, though; if I wanted a spectacle for my birthday, then I am fully able to create my own. I choose to relax at home and not deal with the public at large lol, to many assholes out there, and for some reason, I always seem to run into them.
So, since my last posting and my birthday, I have been planning ahead for my future and figuring out what and where to go. I know whoever reads this is probably one who happens to stumble upon it and not give two white dog turds what I am trying to figure out. I could care less, though, and I want to share just to lay it out on paper ..... er.. um, monitor.
I put in for a position at work slightly higher than what I am qualified to do, but I am banking on my past experiences and my current time there to boost me into the position. This position is more geared toward what I did in the past but with an environmental twist on it. I would fit the bill just fine, and I have already shown myself and my safety-oriented past. The kicker is that this same position is being sorted out at the Kraft plant back home, and because I lack a couple of certifications needed, I don't stand a chance to even apply for that position at home. I would have thought in a heartbeat if I knew I stood a chance. The only reason I put in for it here is that I was able to speak with the head guy wanting the position filled, and I was told that if the right person fit the bill on the position and lacked the certifications, they would easily send that person off to get the needed certs. So I applied for it and interviewed, and now I will wait 3 to 4 weeks for an outcome. But seeing that same position come up in the place I would genuinely want to live is painful.
I push on, though; if something is meant to be, it will be, and I need to focus on the now and follow through with my plans. If I get the position at work, it will set me up well there, and I will be doing something that will actually engage me and keep me occupied. Right now, my current position is painfully mind-numbing to me. I do enjoy working with the group of people I am currently with, and that makes it hard to move into another position there, but they totally understand why I am attempting this. If I do not get this, then it will only expedite my plans to get out of AZ and back east. I have some ideas and places in mind, but I need to fill out a plan without planning on it. The biggest thing is figuring out what in hell I am going to do and where I am going to do it. That will be key in anything I set forth to achieve. Right now, everything is leaning toward the computer side of what I have been doing, from repairs to customization. I have been doing the Macintosh Certified Repair self training but they are not taking any applications of service centers, basically if I got all my certs I would not be able to open my own business as a certified Apple service center. That was my goal when I signed up for this at the first of the year. I really wanted to do that and make a better repair place then going to the damn Apple store, I do hate the Apple store and its sheeple like herding.
I have plans in my head for what I want to do and would love to do, but one thing that hinders me is the unknown and monetary issues. Also, there is that pesky habit of putting things off until later and then either forgetting about them or keeping them off. I have a pretty good business plan and am not limiting myself to one thing but trying to keep it diverse and being able to do several things with one business, but all related in a sense. Who knows what will happen and where any of this will lead me, too, but I hope in the long run, I am doing something that makes me happy and doing it where I want to be and with people I want to be around.
So, for those of you who are still reading, I thank you. This blog had less of the silliness that I offer but the last several weeks I haven't really felt silly. I have been trying to have a plan and direct my future to where I want to be, and that requires my adult face. You know, that stern face that takes no prisoners and taint-punched people for shits and giggles. Yeah, that one.

Not sure why you just shared this old post. But after reading it, I'm left wondering if you still dream of pursuing your goal of opening an Apple Repair store? I have an old friend in California that used to do just that. Then he launched into other investments and ideas...well have you heard of Loot Crate? He is one of the founders of it. Pretty crazy right? I'm a bit of a hypocrite when it comes to what I'm about to say, but if you still dream to do this...go for it. What's holding you back?
