I haven't updated in a while so none of you really know what's going on in my world... for that I apologize.  So here is an update on all things Jared. 

Work -
Has been difficult.  I hit a rough patch starting in August and have been fighting through it.  Yesterday was my first day off in 13 days.  3 of those days were 12 hour shifts.  It killed me to miss one of my best friends getting engaged but sadly Halloween is one of the mandatory
12 hour days in my line of work. 

Training -
In a bit of a rest period.  Football and Dodgeball are coming to a close this month and I don't have another race til December.  I changed my focus to a vanity goal.  I want a body like Daniel Craig.  I feel it's coming along pretty well.  If you want to read my exercise exploits go to socialworkout.com and look up killercadoogan. 

Love life -
As facebook would say "It's complicated"  but not in a bad way.  When I am more comfortable talking about it you will definitely know. 

I'm trying to find time for everything and everyone.  It's difficult.  All my pursuits pull me in different directions.  Usually that wouldn't be a problem but I find myself tired and shagged out.  Just know that you are all in my thoughts and I take you with me whereever I go.  I may not see everyone as much but everytime I miss something it's done with a heavy heart.

The Dances of Vice Festival in New York returns on November 20-22, 2009 in a three-day nautical themed flight of fancy that will be held in several stunning historical locations and feature a number of 17th to 18th Century related amusements, including a presentation on 17th-19th Century European fencing styles, 18th Century ballroom dancing, live Baroque harpsichord and classical music, historical costume inspired fashion shows, and much more. Costume is mandatory to attend. Although the time period is later than the Rennaissance, I thought some of you might be interested :)

If you'd like to sail away with us this month, more information about the Dances of Vice Grand Shipwreck Ball can be found at www.dancesofvice.com

Whoosh there it goes!

Help the crip fund

I feel a sense of guilt and debt just over the paid lj thing, I'll probably have mini anxiety attacks over this.

Tuesday is Stephen King day.

so the process to give me a referral (they even set up the time/date for the appointment) takes about a month. So by December i should receive a notice letting me know what orthopedist i'm seeing. Then I go to the Dr and hopefully at that point we'll figure out a plan of action. I have to pay for the orthopedist out of pocket, so hopefully they aren't too expensive because not only do I have no money, but not working means not paying hospital bills/school loans/cellphone/creditcard and i'm super de duper in debt.


and I'll probably spent the rest of '09 stuck in this fucking bed.

in other news I have a LOT of vicodin.

Barnacles have the longest penis relative to their body size in the animal kingdom, which is re-grown every season.

Having been inspired by the brilliant temperlj these past few months by her ever-positive "Good News Friday" lists, I have decided that her brilliance must be shared - I hope she'll forgive me for stealing her idea, but it just seems like such a great way to remind oneself of the good things in life, no matter how small. I find that I tend to focus way too much on the struggles, the frustrations, the disappointments... Life will always be full of hardships, and I don't want to become one of those people who forgets the abundance of blessings in her life. I don't want to become a "spoiled American" who lets greed and discontent take over her life, always striving for more and never appreciating what she has (for those of you on Facebook, see the conversations stemming from my latest note). So... here goes:
( Good News Friday List no. 1 )

Ahhh, I feel better already! :)

So let's see:

Supernatural last night. I'm still laughing over parts of it. Nutcracker! "Seriously? Seriously?" And the tandem bike. Ha! Not to mention the commercial.
*snickers* "Only untalented douchebags wear sunglasses at night." "Say we pulled it out of Sam's ass."

(Not to mention firesong_jb's confused text to me at some point.) Hee hee hee.


*snickers*

Anyway for the big reveal - I'm not sure how I feel about it; but well played Kripke. Because thinking back on it, there is very very subtle hints on that being the case. I have to go rewatch a few episodes to confirm; but I'm almost positive the snapping of the fingers was one of them.

I also think it's setting up something in Episode 10; that I've heard Kripke hint on, but there's no major names. However, I think I know now.

Lessee:

Girl Number 9. Why are you not watching this? It's a web show - it's only about 30 minutes total, each episode is somewhere between 3 and 6 minutes. Go. Now. Watch. Be damn impressed.
Episode 4 is the one that had my jaw drop twice in 5 minutes.

I am waiting for episode 6, which is tonight. All of the episodes will be online all month.

Go. Watch. This. Show.

Other than that, need to get ready for game. Wheee!

tired of living on Zyrtec.

*sniffles*

SO MUCH DUST.

Anyrate. Leslie came over tonight! YAY! We had pizza. Mushrooms & garlic. OMNOMNOM.

I think I'm done with the kitchen. Yay.

Dismantled some shelves. Took down my curtain the other day (the one in the living room to the kitchen) and took down the hardware today. Apparently it took some paint too. Oi.

Had to unpack and repack some things. Joy.

Tomorrow, my bedroom. *grumble* At least the startings of it. I have to get out the clothes I need for the next few days, and put them aside.

I think I'm going the route Leslie said and just shove my clothes in garbage bags. Fuck it.

So tired of boxes.

Oh, applied to more jobs today. Another at MedImmune. But the Frederick one! OooOoh.

I'm kinda bummed I haven't heard about the Humane Society one. That seemed kind of fun.

Finding a new career is balls.

Just keep swimming!

Goddamn I love Antonio Banderas & Brad Pitt's interactions in this movie. *rawr*
