A New Horizon, Exciting New Things and Staring Like a Dear in Headlights


"You see, this all goes much deeper than you realize. The Quaker Mafia has extended it's ties farther into peoples networks in the region than you might have imagined. You think we are God fearing? Well lets just say that pacifism is just a face. Not only do you have to fear every quaker you know, but there is no way for you to know what spies we have lurking among you. If you are foolish enough to look out your window you might be able to catch a glimpse of one of our hitmen who is waiting while I decide whether you need to be silenced." - an anonymous mob boss of the QM

So here is the start of my first blog, though some posts will resemble what I was posting on Myspace before I deleted my profile. Here I will post what's going on with my life, important news, things I've been thinking on or struggling with and other tidbits such as lyrics of songs I've written or am writing. I encourage you to leave a comment whether it is just to say hi, to comment or to discuss. So without further ado, here is my first post:

Life
has a way of throwing you curve balls all the time. Well the last one I got struck me out, but I'm finally up to the plate again and all the more ready for the next one. Some may be wondering where I've been for more than a year, well lets just say for now that I had something to take care of on my own. But I'm back and larger than life.
This spring I worked at an organization that worked with and housed troubled teens. Unfortunately that job didn't pan out for the long term and I have been left without a job for the last month and a half. During that time I have been job hunting with no success, the job market is horrible in Newberg. But much else has been happening:
I've been going back to church now that I don't have a work conflict
I have reconnected with a lot of friends and come out of the old introverted shell that I had gone back into.
I've begun to sing and play piano more, bike farther, swing dance and even picked up some old compositions and have started writing again.
