Life lessons

5 years ago I decided to leave a really good job that I enjoyed and had fun at to go to another. I went to this other job so I could go to U of A and work on my Chemical Engineering degree. This job allowed me to go to school during the day and still work full time. I really had no idea what I was going into, just the idea that it was like a past job. I was truly excited for this job simply because it looked like my future was looking like it was getting better. When I first started I was a young and naive and thought I truly knew a lot. When I first started at this job I thought of it as just a temporary job and figured once I got my degree I would be set.

Here I am 5 years later, I am still working at the casino in the surveillance department and reflecting back at those several days I have spent there. How many lessons I have learned professional. How many heart breaks I have had to go through because of that job. How many nights I have stayed awaken because of the many issues that I have had to endure. How many people have seen arrive and leave. How many accomplishments I have succeed. How many times have had to look at my errors. The one "How many" I really enjoy is how many true friends I have gained because of that one job.

As I have been typing this I noticed that I have placed a lot of bad things down. This job as been harsh on so many scales even more so recently. It has not been an easy ride but I have to say I have had the chance to gain a lot and learn a lot that not many other people will ever have. As the recent items have occurred I really have learned some lessons that I might have to use in future job, the lesson that I can't trust very many people and I always have to be ready.

I am not entirely sure what is going to happen in the future but I do know I have to change some things at work dealing with items I have talked about. I do need this job until something else arrives so I need to make sure I am protect myself.

5 years have gone by in my life and I have learned a great deal and have truly learned that I will continue to learn. I have gained good friends, some who have gone and some that stand close. But the one lesson I have truly learned is all in all I stand alone and need to make sure I protect myself.

When view through a window looks bad look through another.

In yesterdays post I talked about the amount of stress that I am placing myself in and stretching myself so thin that I am actual feeling a real effect of it. I began to look at everything that I am doing and the hell that I am placing myself into which a very bad situation, one that could place my whole future in a hell. I am seeing that because I am trying to do so many things that I am actually being very shellfish and not doing the right thing. I have so much that is riding on me and yes I need to have fun, but I also need to remember there are other things that should be holding precedence over. Its time to get thing straight and see there is a definitive path in which I must follow to make sure my future at hand, the way it may happen won't be changed because of poor choices on my part. Its time to close one window, and begin to look out another to see a new view, picture, hope for the future.

In the blanket of dark, light creates itself.

For years now I have looked outside this window in my room. I have laid my eyes on the Santa Rita Mountains and have seen a different image every time I opened my curtains. My eyes have seen this timeless face change into a unique image every second of everyday for the past seven years. Through that time I have seen those mountains a far and at close. Through that time I have seen changes upon those rock formations. The four seasons bring four changes as predicated earlier. Spring season brings the new sprouts, new leaves, new young in the animals and even what seems to be new fresh start to a year. Summer brings the warmth, brings season to those of young who just arrived, and the rains of the monsoon come to prepare those for later. As those rains dissipate and the temperature begins to cool, the mountains change again. The leaves of youth fade color and start to show their age. Yellow, gold, brown and red cover the canopies and ground like a brilliant picture. The now...

Yearly, year in review edition 2011

The year 2011. Began with so much hope, struck by tragedy in the early part and became quite through the remainder. As stated in the first part 2011 was to be a year full of promise. A year in which I thought a large amount of change would occur in my life, on a good note. Several months later I would find that not to be entirely true. I had just graduated from college a few days before the start of this year and was full of hope and eager to move forward. I had great friends to help through some of the challenges that I know I would endure. I was ready for this year probably more than any other year before, oh how wrong I was, and how this would be shown with eight days in the year and several times later. January 8th, the first test in my faith of the year. Not many people through out the world well remember the 8th of January, 2011, but I can almost guarantee that the people of Tucson well remember it. Several people, some of which my family knew, were shot brutally shot by a perso...
