Patience
posted at 01:27 pm on 09-27-2012
Today's topic is patience. It's very appropriate given recent events.
Today at work, I've been told by the manageress 2 volunteers were not very cooperative with each other, and so I offered to swap shifts with someone. Crisis averted! I will agree with the manageress that these sorts of "problems" are easier to resolve with men than women.
On my return journey, at one of the bus stops a drunkard felt he should take the opportunity to avoid paying for his fare. His strategy involved provoking ethnics by repeating the lines of "What do you want?", "No", "What have I done wrong?" and apologizing to the white folks with "I'm very sorry." The police were called, it took a crying woman pleading with him to barely even convince him to get off the bus to which a loud applause was met. I'm sure he will get his free ride tonight but probably not to where he wanted to go. The police went to the stop. I'm a patient guy but me and another fella lost our rag with him!
Lastly, patience is required with emotions. I have forgotten what it is like to really long to hear from a love interest. I've been sharply reminded of how that feels and being denied the contact definitely makes me yearn! There are things to consider such as conflicting schedules, sleeping patterns and other personal issues on both sides which require time away from phones or the web in order to recoup. These things make sense and are totally understandable. Nonetheless, it doesn't make it any easier lol :-(
There's a lot of things with my current life set up I generally have to grant patience right now. But I've already discussed some of those things in a previous entry.
POSITIVE SHIZZO: I get to see my sister this weekend and have a family dinner :-) sales of items are going good, I should have a good sum of money by mid October the latest. Whatever happens exactly, I will at least be financially prepared for the things I got planned over the next couple of months.

Moving

Hi.
This is my first try at blogging here on the Planet. I hear it has teething issues still but nothing I can't get around. If you found this entry you must have some remote interest in me so thank you for taking a look :-) on with the show then.
So I've seen several moves between places over the last 7 years. No less than 15 times. Even a change of country. This move isn't as drastic as that, and it's only down the road. I've gone from my apartment, to my dad's, and now a 1 bedroom apartment which is my mother's and will take residence on the sofa bed.
Almost everything is ready to go over now and I will be getting it all dropped off at the apartment in the next couple of hours. Even this move is a temporary one, though, and with things going as they are I'm likely to find myself living independently once again in the first or second quarter of the following year.
I have to say, all the other things I've been handling surrounding the move, as well as issues with the tenants in my dad's house hasn't made things easier. I've admittedly been yearning for simplicity and nothing but to hide away and forget my responsibilities and problems. I "dumbed down" a whole bunch more than usual. But no more, I can't head down that path over such small things. After all, if I did how can I expect to return to the bold ways of life I used to live when I was younger?
Right now, aside from the move only one other thing occupies my mind. Well, a person to be more accurate. And she's very special to me. Many guys my age don't even have a future, or have any idea where they want to be in 1-10 years. I have personal goals, that have been consistent throughout my life. They fit in rather well with how our lives are panning out. We have a lot in common and enough to make us different. I feel happier! In the short time I've known her, she has reminded me why I should not lose sight of my ambitions however small or large. That I should not forget who I am or what progress I have made. For if I do this, I can never hope to fulfil those dreams, or have anyone as precious as her to bask in those dreams with. I have the patience, and have now got back my persistence. So I guess, all that is next is to persevere!
Once this happens, then I can afford to behave a little like I have been recently. Be it at a beach home in Rio, or up in the Mid - Northwest amongst humble scenery. Staying on a parent's sofa bed for a few months with a borrowed wardrobe sounds pretty lame but trust me when I say I've had it worse and it's currently better than what I got now. It's a small step, that will help me focus and move onto greater things once again.
I suppose I better go now and get this all done because the Asperger's group I attend are at the pub tonight and I have to get ready for that. I don't think I'll stay out too long. Someone has a cold :-0 .. for now I'm leaving this public, but will probably change this in the future to save myself (or anyone mentioned) embarrassment. Peace out,
-JM
