Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

I'm still alive.

Poetically Pathetic

So many new experiences.

Florida was great. I got 2 possible jobs. One is a Lieutenant (site manager) position at a security firm in Palm Coast, FL. The second is an opportunity to be a Florida State Trooper. I'd be excited for both. Just a chance to get out and get my life started.

About new experiences, however.

I've been noticing over the past few weeks that I've been put in completely new situations. I've appreciated every single one. For example, on my way back from Florida a part on my engine died. Normally, I'd be super pissed that I was losing all this driving time. But I took it in stride. I pulled into a shop and found a nice buffet. 2 hours later I was back on the road. With a new experience under my belt.

When I Go Down

So this is a new experience.

After finishing work tonight I'm laid off. I'm going to carpe the diem and take a trip down to Florida. See if I can get a job.

In Essence We Are Falling

Just wanted to update my profile in light of recent events.

So, we have The Colbert Connection. We have The Minter Messenger. Now we have The Diesing Delineation.

You're welcome.

Do You Believe In Love

I was thinking about my strengths and thinking that they're all dandy and stuff. However, ignoring my weaknesses isn't so dandy.

So I thought a little bit about of my weaknesses. I believe my weaknesses are something along the lines of the following: Being a bad thinker. I'm much more of a doer. I'm not very creative. Put me with a creative person and I can accomplish anything. I feel like I have a hard time conveying what I'm trying to say.

Another strength that I figured out in the past few days. I work well in a team.

The end.

I never realized how hard saying goodbye to everyone would be. After spending 3 years with people I guess you get attached.

I've thought a lot about my identity. I don't really know who I am anymore. Without a set direction to go I've lost my mental picture of who I am. Time to go back to basics.

The only thing that stays the same, regardless of where I am in my life is that I am a Christian. Because of that fact I am out of control of my life, another thing I have struggled with in the past few days.

Giving up control isn't the worst thing in life. But it might be the scariest. However, because I'm not in control of my life I can't screw things up like my parents tell me I do. I am in the care of the sovereign God of the universe. He's "got my back". My life's story has been written. I just have to have my ear to the ground in order to follow orders.

Sorry for another scatterbrained post.

I've been thinking a lot lately about what my strengths are. I have a small list. I was planning on asking you all if you could help me out a little bit.

I feel my strengths are my resourcefulness, dedication, ability/willingness to listen, ability to relate (especially to blue collared workers), and awesomeness.

Maybe 4/5.

Let me know what you think.
