Yea and I'm still unemployed. I had a little glimmer of hope last week Monday when I got a call for an interview from a hotel I applied for. It looked promising. I thought yea I'm back in it before the week is up. I was wrong, never got the call back.
I must of applied to like 15-20 jobs and that was in my first 4 days of unemployment. On Wednesday of last week I had an interview at the olive garden. Unfortunately they weren't hiring at the moment. But the manager did tell me he might b needing an extra line cook around the holidays.
So hopefully that's my ticket in. In the mean time I keep applying every were I can. I've applied for unemployment. Hopefully I can get that. That way I can get some extra income into the house. I mean they usually pay you what you were getting paid at your last job. So here's hoping.
But this whole being unemployed really starts to get to you Na mean. Its like being on a vacation that you didn't want. And you start to feel like a burden. Or useless. I hate this feeling. I need to find something constructive to do. Something to pass the time by. And I got just the thing.
I'm going to start hitting the gym at least twice a day. You know keep me busy. I might as well get my weight down. I'm going to also start reading more. I got a book hear that I've been meaning to read for a while now. So I might as well get started.
Hopefully I will hear from jobs soon. I'm praying that I do. I'm going to start making some phone calls to. I need something to get me out this slump. Any way I'll holla

A Humbled Man
"That makes four man your done, just need your id and gate and we take a walk."
"OK sir here you go, let's do it."
Yeah the last dialogue spoken between me and my manager after I was terminated from my long standing job of almost 4 years. I mean I have nobody to blame but myself for this, I should of kept a better eye on my record card. I thought one thing which by the old rules was correct. But about 2 years ago the union contract was redrawn. Thus a whole new set of rules. Rules that no one usually finds out until its way to late. I won't go into details cause it upsets me but as I say, "it's what it is".
Did I like the job? At one point I did, My restaurant was the spot. I made a lot of good friends their. Not just in the state but in the country, and across the globe. And hey I met my wife there. So not to many complaints. I man I appreciated the managers. They were strict, but I didn't really since the favoritism amongst them. I knew it was there, I mean hey its always there Na mean. But at the time I started it was a good spot. There wasn't to much bull. But to be honest I did want out. But just not like this. You know, I wanted to leave on my own terms. I was already in the process of looking for another job. But then I get this, damn!
Now I can go ahead and spew a whole bunch of conspiracy stuff, which I thought of for a very long time. And was proven true that the managers was watching me and my wife, and that they had it in for me but whats done is done. So I digress and pray that I get a phone call soon. I mean I forgot how hard it is to look for a job. I must of filled out about 20 applications to date. And I'm about to fill out some more today while I'm here.
But I seriously felt humbled when I got terminated. I mean you take things like this for granted, but you need it. No matter how much you can't stand your job. Be grateful you have one. And you know maybe this happened for a reason. Maybe it was done to do just this, humble me. Or maybe it was my time to go and find something better suited for my skills. Only time will tell. And I'm hoping whatever happens, happens soon. Because I'm tired of being unemployed. But whatever doesn't kill me only makes me stronger. But a job gives me purpose and I miss it.

Another Chapter Closes & A New One Opens
So the wedding has come and gone. What a night, and you know whats funny? It went by very quickly. I mean all these months of preparation and everything. Only for a few hours of fun. But it was so worth it. What i feared the most never happened and it all went good. Even though I was more nervous then I had ever been in my life. I mean I was sweating up a storm. I was so calm months, weeks, days, even hours before the wedding. But then as the minutes started to countdown the nerves started to kick in and it was recking haha.But me and my wife were able to get through it. We had a very good turn out of people. Of course some didn't make it but its all good as me and her said. Those that wanted to be there were there, & thats what it is. And those that did show up I am espicially gratefull to them. They were able to take time out of their busy schedules to come and support us in this decesion we made to join as one. And I love them for that. And to those truly couldn't make mad luv to you to.
But like I said It was a great night the time preparing for was a trip. I mean scrambling to get the money and busting my butt at work with those hours. Having to deal with the hate and jealousy being thrown our way. Everybody wanting to go and mad cause they didn't get invite. I mean it was a trip. And yea I guess some people just automatically thought they were going to the wedding. Uh no! Pretty those that recieved an invite were ones that I hang out with on a regular basis outside of work, or talk to regularly.
Man there was even a point when I didn't think I was going to get my suit for the wedding but I was able to pull it off. Thanks Mom & Dad, I love yall. I think one defineing moment for me was when her brother came back from Puerto Rico with the rings I purchased. We ordered them a month and half ago and received them 4 days before the wedding. And they fit perfect. See we got from a Zales out there in PR. 
Were I was approved for a Zales card and recieved a card discount. Not to mention an employee discount from a friend of her twin sister. Also a going out of business sale. So not only was able to get the ring she wanted but I was able for whole lot less.Got into a little trouble at work over my shaving but it all paid off in the end. My cut was sharp as I needed to be. I was happy to see my good friends Danielle and Tonesha come through for the wedding. They stayed at our place and it was a good week. Especially since Danielle made my favorite dessert in the world, apple pie. And something about the way she makes it, mmmmm good.
And like I said before I was so nervous before the wedding. Man I was so nervous that the photographer went and got me a vodka on the rocks to calm my nerves. Man shout out to the photographer Fred for that. He took some amazing pictures at the wedding. Whatever we wanted he did. And he stayed a little past the paid time, mad love bro.
And shout out to my big brother Ron G. He did the videography for me and it came out perfect. DVD coming soon. He gots some real great footage. Thanks Ron G. DVD is my next big project, and its gonna take a while. The after party was real fun. We had a small group of friends return back to our place and we just kept drinking and playing beer pong. We tried to finish off the keg but it was impossible. There was keg stands and that was funny.
But as this chapter in my life comes to an end I look forwarding to spending many years with my wife. And looking forward to the next chapter wich is us getting our house by the time our lease is up for the apartments we are currently staying. And I'll keep you up to date on that. Yall be safe and as always 1 luv.

RUMORS
I feel like I'm working at a rumor mill. I mean I've heard some rumors be for but the way there coming out right now especially since it's getting closer and closer to my wedding its utterly ridiculous. So I get into work yesterday and one the cast members I invited to my wedding Carly* asked me a question. The question was do the people attending the wedding have to pay for there own food at the reception?
So I told Carly no, what kinda nonsense is that, I mean only way that happens if I invite to come celebrate with me and my wife at a restaurant at which in that point yea you have to pay for your food. But this a full blown wedding. We just want the people we invited there to come and have a good time with us. She said OK because she heard that we have to pay for your food.
So I asked Carly who told you this, she said don't worry about it. I said how am I not gonna worry about when people are already spreading rumors about the wedding in order to stop people from going. And don't which group of people that are doing it. Its sickening. I mean its like I've said before we are all adults here. Resorting to such tactics like spreading rumors is a childish move that should of stoped back in high school. This is the real world Na mean. But I guess some people don't think like that anymore.
And to try to stop people from coming to our wedding because you didn't get an invitation is stupid. I mean we can't invite everybody. Anyway I'm out, be safe every one and as always 1luv

Talk About a Crappy Day
So Saturday was just another run of the mill ordinary day. I mean birds were chirping dogs were barking regular day. So everything is going fine and then I get sum disturbing news. Well its not really disturbing to me I guess its more like surprised that people still do this. And by this I mean rumors. I mean we are all adults here and because doesn't go a certain persons way or a person wasn't invited to a certain event let's say a wedding. U spread a rumor to stop someone else from going.
So yeah my fiancé tells me that Juniper coming to wedding before the invitations were even given out and she said hell yeah I'm going. Well Juniper* said they are no longer coming to the wedding because they heard that my fiancé doesn't want her there. Because Juniper gave my fiancé disciplinary action. Now whats funny about this story is my fiance hasn't been to work in almost 2 1/2 weeks at the time this story was told.
So someone at work told Juniper this rumor as to keep Juniper from going to our wedding. So I asked my fiance did Juniper talk to you to confirm that's what you want before assuming what this person said was true. She said no. I mean what the heck is wrong some people. If you here something from somebody else's mouth and not the source directly don't believe unless you go to the so called source. Any way I'm out be safe all and 1luv.

Shaving
So I just got into trouble at my job for not shaving. The company I work for has a strict policy on their employees shaving. I haven't shaved in about 2 1/2 weeks. I can't use a regular razor because I get really bad razor bumps. Which some turn into ingrown hairs. Which is really painfully if you've ever had 1.
So I got 1 more day till my 6days away from this crappy place. And I get pulled into the office to sign a witness statement. Pretty much cause I got disciplinary action against me already. And since I don't have a doctors note explaining my situation, nor do I have the money. I'm pretty much screwed
So the statement states what I'm telling you guys. So pretty much I need have it cleaned up b4 the next time I work which is tomorrow. But my statement says I won't see my barber till this Saturday. And you would think they would try to work with you but no that will be to easy.
And they tell you all this stuff oh we don't want nothing to happen to you. You are one of our most valued employees, when I know that's bull. And when u look at it from a far it isn't even bad. I'm dark u can't even tell unless u looking. Which I believe the area manager is looking, but that's another story I won't get into right now. But what can I do. I'm fighting a loosing battle. I'm just David taking on Goliath. But in this story the victor goes to the Goliath. I'm out and again 1luv

Just Rambling
Man it's been a very long time since I've actually posted a blog. It's been a long time since I've actually been on the computer. I mean I don't actually have one of my own at my apartment. But were I live there is a computer lab. What sucks about this here computer lab is that it only holds 7 computers. And it is entirely to hard to get one. Especially when there are what seems like 50 million kids in the complex.
And what kills me is when these parents brings there 4 kids down with them and now there taking up 5 out of 7 computers, not to mention 1 of the computers is down for who knows what reason. So it leaves the rest of us to computers to fight for. Now these 4 kids are all on the 4 computers playing bob the builder or some bull. When they all could share a computer and take turns to give the adults time to do what they gotta do. Uggghhhh!!!!! But enough venting about that.
What it all balls down to is I need my own computer, fast. But yea its been a real busy last few weeks. Especially with my wedding closing in real fast. Officially I have 9 days left. And I'm still waiting for my suit to come in. According to my pops it should be in by tomorrow, fingers crossed. Not to mention I still have to get a shirt and my shoes also. My girl got her wedding gown already. And according to her it looks lovely. Well I will holla at ya got shut down this club house soon. And remember everyone 1luv
