Life's little curve ball
It has been awhile since my last time here. I figured I'd give you an update since its been awhile.
During the first week of school, I passed out in my office and fell out of my chair and unto my head. I was ok, but I was scared to death. I have had theses issues before during the school year, but never this early in the year. After a long talk with my family, I made a change I had not made in 4 years, I had to quit my 2nd job at Hallmark. It saddened me that a part of my life that I had enjoyed and didn't get along with at the same time was coming to an end. I still did not know at the time why I had these issues, until I went to the doctor. After some tests, I find out I had high blood pressure, about 20 points higher than a normal human should. I am now on medicine for high blood pressure, I feel like I'm 50, but then again I shouldn't be surprised based upon the life I have lived. It is a hard adjustment to make, but one I am willing to try.
This school year has been quite a blast. I am finding i always something cooking to keep me busy. The new role I gained this year was that of ISS Aide, In-School Suspension. It has been quite the transition for me to get used to the style of teaching that must be used in there. I have to seem uncaring without being too much. However, the rules are simple and easy to follow. So, my job can be long and lonely at times, but I find a way to cope.
With more free time, I have been doing more work at the station then normal. I have even gotten into more of the production side of the station. It is interesting to learn more from the station and try and make the product better. The only thing I used I worry about is all the other stuff that goes with it. People are people and sometime I wish I wasn't always in the middle, but if not me, then who?
It time for me to move along with my day. I hope life treats you well and that all others will enjoy your company. May the grace of god protect you in all that you may do.

High School Forever?
The summer is a good time to look back upon things from years past and the past months. So, it have been busy for me the last month.
The school year finally came to an end, along with my time at Humble High School. I had alot of fun there over the last 4 years. I meet alot of great people and I will miss alot of them. But, I started at a new school, Summer Creek High School, a few days later. The school likes amazing and is really big and long. The only knock against it is that it looks like a newly built prison from the Highway. I find that mildly amusing but, it is still funny. My new office is about twice the size of my old one. The people are pretty nice and the amount of insanity will be greater among the staff. :)
I made it through the begin of ornament season. I never understood the concept of Christmas in July, but then again, seeing people have those, wow looks on their faces, seems to make it a good idea, from a business stand point. However, seeing Christmas items out when its 100+ degrees outside is not something my brain is used to. My boss is also going away for a week next month, which means I'll be in charge, god help us all.
The rest of my time is usually spent working for Wcradio. The station is doing a donation drive to prepare for Blizzcon with is now less then a month away. It is pretty close with not alot of time remaining. I am not sure who will win, but it has been alot of fun helping both sides. I pick up yet another show to rep for, details to come. But, I also got into doin ad for the station now, working for Stormtamer. The VO work is alot of fun, so I look forward to doing more, but I am now just waiting to see it put together.
The rest of my life is basically sleeping and watch movies. I gone to the movies a few times this summer, and the times I go, it is really quiet. I was at a Wedding of an old friend a few weeks ago. It was a nice and beautiful event. I also have my 10 year High School Reunion in about 3 weeks. I can't believe its been 10 years. But, the thing I find more interesting is the treatment of people I've meet since High School. I have had at least 5 or 6 people say they are sorry for the way they treated me in High School. I have had a few dozen who have been really glad to see me, which is odd for some of them, seeing as they would not give me the time of day or cared if I ever talked to them during High School. Maybe its just me, but being as I got 35 more years of High School to come, it is interesting to see that people look at High School as a Bubble in their life. Inside it, you can do what you'd like, but outside of it, and as the years go by, it should not be held against you.
Anyway, I am off to work on more books, I hope ya'll take care and enjoy the rest of your summer.

Books close while others appear
Sorry for the delay in posting, its been a busy few weeks. I'll go down the list.
School
So finally wrapped up last week with the amount of textbook that appeared top be unbelievable. Thousands of books that have not seen the light of day for months had to make their way back to my office. I got help from alot of people and for that I am grateful, however, a trio were in my office, as they had been sent to help. After they left, I spent my afternoon trying to get my office in order. It was then i discovered that the trust I had given them, had be willfully disregarded and spit upon. My Ipod, that had been charging, was stolen and the ear-buds as well. Now the value of this Ipod was not much, it was the fact that my mother had given it to me as a birthday gift the year after I had moved away from home. She had gotten it with my name engraved upon it. I am currently taking steps to get them arrested or have my property returned to me, but i don't hold out much hope. They are idiots, which i found humorous, in the fact they forgot the cord that connects the device to the computer and also charges it. Its nice to know that, even when life takes a big dump on you, you can still find humor in it.
Station
We had the Blue Plz! Anniversary show, the secret project I was helping to create. Queen Eriyanna did a wonderful job and pulled it off really well. I also had to say good bye to some friends, as Kexman and Almighty Farseer left the station and closed their show down, because of various Real life issues. Those two are the reason I became a rep for the station and also help to spur me along in my development of various show I have in the works for demos, my Wow-style classroom with TaurenTom and the This is RP which has several of us from the Essence of Essence of RP talking about all forms of RP. Anyway, I produced a 22 min segment for the guys in order to say good bye. It turned out really well, the feed back makes me want to try and do more for the station.
The station is also having a donation drive to so they can raise funds for this year's Blizzcon coverage. I have been doing work for both sides where I can mostly for team nubcake, just so its a fair fight. My editing skills in cutting words together are really starting to scare people. After the last project, it was suggested to me, I might want to take a shoot at editing the old PUG show that had not been put up on the achieves. So that will be my project for the next 2 weeks. Just waiting on TB to send me the files to begin. I am enter into various contests to win tickets to Blizzcon, but at this point, if I won one, I don't know if I would go to the Con or give it to the station so that another staff member could go.
Life
My life has been pretty quiet, I am still hunting for a teaching job, but no real prospects anywhere I look. I am still trying to clean up my place getting ready for my family who is coming to see when, when they are down here for a wedding later this month. What I am seeing alot more is the need as a guide. I am finding myself more and more a listener and counselor to people I know. I sometimes wonder if I would have been better off as a Shrink then a Teacher, but I enjoy both alot. It saddens me that that life is getting unhappy for some, but also gives me great joy to see other doing well or finding that special someone.
Anyway, time for me to sign off and prepare for a meeting, but until next time, remember it isn't always the things you say that your remembered for, but the actions you did or the words unspoken. Have fun and take care.
