today would have been my father’s 61st birthday. this is the first year i’ve had neither parent around for their birthdays (my mom’s is on the 25th of this month) and it feels kinda weird. i still miss him so much and i wish he could have stayed with us longer than he did.

i didn’t want to be a downer on my blog, but i did want to mark his birthday a bit.

my brother has set our official moving date for october 25th, though my moving date won’t be until the 28th or 29th since i having wait on someone with a truck to get my bed and desk moved.

i’ve started sorting through my stuff, trying to figure out what i absolutely need to take, and what can stay here for who knows how long. obviously my computer will be coming with me, as well as my tv, and videogame consoles. my movies, and videogames are already packed in a box. my clothes still need to be sorted though and tossed into trash bags (yay for lack of boxes).

hopefully moving day will go smoothly, and hopefully i’ll be back online in no time.

One of the most important things you need when trying to find a job is a good resume documenting your skills, education, and past job experience. Having a good resume is really a key to getting employers to take notice of you among all the other applicants wanting the same job. If you aren’t sure How to Write a Resume, there are plenty of awesome online resources available to help you write your own, as well as Resume Builder websites, that let you plug in the important info and get a nice formatted resume with minimum effort.

i know, i know.. i’ve failed hard at blogging. things have been bad, but hopefully they will be better soon, and when things get better i will resuscitate this blog once more and actually try to write once in a while.

blogging revamp will hopefully include:

• more daily writing, if not daily than at least more than once a month.
• more blogging about videogames! i find that i really enjoy them and i think i should write about stuff i enjoy instead of just collecting junk on my computer and never saying anything about it.
• more… LIFE. hopefully if all goes well and i get a job, i won’t be huddled in a tiny room all the time doing absolutely nothing worth blogging about.
• new blog theme.. as this one is very much past the expiration date.

and yes things are going to get better, because in a week or so, we are moving out of this shit hole, and into a nice place with a family friend who has so kindly offered us a place to stay and get back on our feet. it will be a big life improvement and hopefully we’ll be able to find jobs and save up some money to live again instead of this scraping we’ve been doing for so long.

i have high hopes and i’m going to attempt to stay optimistic about things, so lets hope everything works out for the best!
