I am getting my way. \u00a0If people aren&#8217;t going to be happy with my company then I ask the question: why keep my company? \u00a0I wouldn&#8217;t. \u00a0It&#8217;s illogical. \u00a0If you are giving up everything you have worked for in your life for me&#8230; I don&#8217;t want that. \u00a0Shouldn&#8217;t the point be to be happy? \u00a0I don&#8217;t see the point in being unhappy if you don&#8217;t have to be. \u00a0I don&#8217;t want anyone to feel forced to be there for me or forced to stick around. \\: \u00a0End of personal rant ]<\/p>\n<p>On the automotive side: Ford is going to be coming out with a few hybrids that you can plug in. \u00a0I think it&#8217;s pretty cool. \u00a0You can go fully electric or you can use gas. \u00a0It&#8217;s a preference which they leave to your controls. \u00a0This should help with people who are on the fence of getting a fully electric car. \u00a0I&#8217;d get one if I were making the money to warrant it.<\/p>\n<p>This past weekend I was able to practice some voodoo by getting some Voodoo Doughnuts. \u00a0They&#8217;re good. \u00a0mmhmm<\/p>\n<p>I still do not have any news on finding another job. \u00a0I am applying at various places from Seattle to Phoenix. \u00a0This week I think I will try to tinker with some web design and perhaps a few new projects.<\/p>\n<p>I am beginning to think that my love for this city is a forbidden love. \u00a0Maybe I was only meant to like the sports team and follow them from afar. \u00a0I don&#8217;t really know. \u00a0It doesn&#8217;t look too promising.. and if I do have to move from this place I can&#8217;t see myself looking to come back for quite a while and even then there would need to be pretty good guarantees in place (better pay on a job, winning the lottery&#8230; etc). \u00a0It is so disheartening yet it is my reality. \u00a0What can I do? \u00a0Roll with the punches. \u00a0I seem to be pretty good at that.<\/p>\n<p>There is a chance for snow this week on Wednesday, Thursday &amp; Friday. \u00a0I know some people hate the idea of it.. but I hope we get it. \u00a0I&#8217;d love to see it. \u00a0Maybe I&#8217;d even take some pictures..<\/p>\n<p>Thats all I have for now. \u00a0Until next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 days.
