Driving in the dark.

I just got home from a craptastic day at work. Watched Shutter Island. I like getting paid to see movies. Its a decent flick but most will see the end in the first 14 minutes of the movie.
Some friends came up to watch it with me. They stopped and picked up my roommate on the way. After the movie he rode back with me. I got home and realized the 25 minute drive seemed like nothing at all with company in the car.
I drive home Southfield Freeway at 1-3am at least 3-4 days a week. Its a quite, lonely drive at 3 am. and I usually think too much and depress myself on the way home.
Tonight was good. Dave and I talked about the movie and police for a few minutes and then spent 20 minutes on a video game. It amazes me how much time can fly by when talking about utter nonsense. It fascinates me how our brains work. 25 minutes seemed like 5. But I would take talking about nothing then talking to myself any day.

Well gotta sleep now for a few hours and be back to work.

Ehhh.... a new blog.

So here is my first blog since. ohhh, June last year. I aimed to attempt to make it more positive then negative. I'm not sure how I'm doing on that note. But I have been thinking about starting to write in this again for a few weeks now, so here we are. I just got home from work, shoveled some snow and decided to write here.

So since last time I was here, I made it home safely from New Mexico(No fresh water shark attacks). I worked through the Holiday season. I lost a friend that has affected me more than anyone cares to notice including myself. I gained a 2nd roommate and my 1st one went and got himself engaged. I still work at the same hole that sucks your soul out one day at a time. I'm still single. And I await March 2nd for a background interview with the Detroit Police to continue the hiring process. Mmmm... I think that is it. Exciting is-int it?

I have a hard time dwelling on the negative. I have been trying to change that, honest.
My focus right now is the police. The possibility of getting the job is really exciting and scares the crap out of me at the same time. I keep praying for Gods will in this whole thing. The idea of doing a job that I believe I can do well, a job that actually has some kind of meaning behind it besides making a dollar makes me smile. Stepping out of a job a do very well for over 10 years now on a chance for something that I may fail at and can't really comprehend fully until I am actually doing it makes me want to cry. All I know is that I have been pushing harder at the gym to get in better shape to make the academy as physically easy as possible so I can worry about the academics. Its constantly on my mind and when I have a bad day at work its worse because I just want to quit and get the crap outta there.

I hope and pray that this is the right thing for me to do partially because I believe it is and partially because I don't know what else I've got.

buh bye.
