So here I am, just wanting to give an update and to tell you (you being the zero people who come to my little corner of the blogosphere) that I am here and still alive. I have not posted anything lately since I have not really done anything that was worth posting about and I have not thought of anything that I can think of to talk about.
I guess we can talk about the inauguration. It was a wild thing to watch on TV as I saw 2 million+ people standing around the mall, some there since 2AM that morning. Obama made a very good speech. The man has a gift for oration, that was one reason he became President was his amazing oratory skills. I hope his four years are good ones.
His first full week did not start so well as on Monday we saw a massive 68,000 people told they were no longer needed by their employers. I know how that feels being laid off before, it is a horrible feeling, kind of like a stomach punch. Then, after a time when you feel sorry for yourself (sometimes it lasts longer, sometimes it lasts shorter, for me, it lasted a few months,) you start over. In my case, I decided to go back to school full time. So I did and now I'm semi-employed (working when City Schools needs me), but I have a college degree.
I think I finally decided that I am going to try to find a job abroad. Where, I do not know. I would like to find a job in Europe somewhere, especially in Germany or Austria since I can read German relatively well (Speaking it however, is another question, but I digress), It would be cool to live outside the US for a year or two and to see another country's culture and way of life (plus living in Europe means plenty of footie to watch as well). We'll see how everything works out, if it does...
Link of the day: Top Gear - This is the website for the show Top Gear. It is one of my favorite shows, they do some awesome challenges like once they raced across Japan with a Nissan Skyline GTR vs. Japanese Public transportation. (You'll have to find the video on Youtube to find out who won the race.)
