| Lovin it in North CarolinaI'm here in North Carolina and getting settled in. I love it out here, the weather is nice for the most part, the beach is only a two hour drive! I've been down to Wrightsville two times now. Spent all day down there on two different sundays. It was nearly paradise, the first time I went down there I got sunburnt in a few patches. I missed a patch on my knees and feet when I put sunscreen on. I lay there on the beach reading what is turning out to be a very good book. It's called Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee by Dee Brown, it's the history of the Native Americans from the Native American point of view. If you like history, or are Native American or just want to know the truth, I suggest picking it up and reading it. Things are going good at work, I'm getting settled in and starting to change things up a bit, hopefully I can make improvements and start making more money. I'm getting ready to buy a new car. It's not new, but it's new to me... it's a 99 Nissan Sentra SE 4 door with a 5 speed transmission. It's got a sunroof or a moon roof, I don't know the difference really, it's got a cd changer... not sure how many discs... It has air conditioning, tilt steering, cruise control, not sure if it has power windows or manual. It's got 109,000 miles on it, which isn't too awfully bad. the interior is in near perfect contition and the body is in near perfect shape. There are a few minor things wrong with it... but overall it's a nice car. It will get way better gas mileage than my 93 ford tempo. Really, it's exactly what I want in a car, it's a stick, it's got AC, it's good on gas and has cruise control with a cd player. I will be getting it on either friday or saturday. If I can manage to take off for a couple of hours friday, I will go then and get it. I'm not sure if I will trade my tempo in or not... it really depends on what they'll give me for it. The trade in value is less than 200. My brother said he'd buy it for 300, but he has to come out here and get it and has to have all of the cash up front. I won't let him take it otherwise. If he don't buy it... I'll put it in the paper or something down here and sell it for 400, either that or I'll just keep it. | | |
| I got the position!!I accepted the offer today over the phone! I will be moving to Durham North Carolina later this month! I was out there this weekend and it was so sweet. I saw the ocean, it's only a two hour drive to Wrightsville Beach NC. I can't wait to get there! | | |
| how Time flies byIt's been quite a long time since I've posted here! A lot has happened in the past year or so. I got the job as an assistant manager at Pizza Hut, I have since gone on to become General Manager of my own store and now I am looking at a very real possibility of becoming a Restaurant Owner. I am flying into Durham North Carolina this coming weekend to negotiate a deal. I've been real busy since October with running a restaurant, and now I am hopefully about to become a lot busier with running my restaurant. I would have 1/3 ownership and I would be responsible for the operations side of things. I would have two partners who will be taking care of the business end. Things like accounting, paying bills and taxes, getting and retaining licenses, payroll and all that lovely stuff. I would be the manager. If this deal goes through I will have realized a life long dream. Wish me luck! | | |
| Been a long time huh? I like Live Journal with one exception... no automatic log in. I suppose that's good for security reasons.... but really... it's just a blog. Not like it's anything that needs real security. I wrote a new poem... been a long time for that too. I've just been so busy with work, and getting moved as well as helping my mom move too.
I've decided to start posting here again, Hope you enjoy....
Longing
My heart always had a longing for you
For so long you’ve haunted my waking dream
Each time I wonder if we could be true
So alone sometimes I just want to scream
All this time in the background watching on
So far away wishing I could be there
Want to be close to you new every dawn
Yearning for the sweet moments we can share
Your relationships come and go such pain
Through it all I’m alone, I miss our calls
My feelings unchanged hopeful I remain
Every mile a brick in many walls
If only things were different my dear
But our paths will never cross so I fear | | |
| I finally made it over to Live Journal, so my posts here will be even more sparse. http://www.livejournal.com/users/blake_macleod/
Peace. | | |
