Oorah!

So tonight I went out and saw an awesome movie called Jarhead. Being a guy and all, your first thought is, "alright, war movie means big guns and tough guys". This was definitely not that kind of war movie. I don't want to give too much away, but I would say you should go out and see it. It is one movie that I think is "buy" worthy. Makes you think a little. And yes, it did hurt. You know... the act of thinking.

This morning I also finally got out and did a lot of excercise. Went to the gym for a while this morning. Felt real good to get into it again. Then after that, I spent all day painting our deck.

Right now, before I finally lay in my bed to rest I am watching a NIN concert off of the internet. Go to the link and click on "Watch Performances". Nine Inch Nails put on an awesome show. As I watch I get a little homesick remembering my last couple of days in Utah. Those where a couple of really good days. Then to top it all off, going to the Nine Inch Nails concert with my brother and his friend. Couldn't of asked for more.

I feel bad, but...

I swear my mother can't seriously drive worth beans. Then to make it even worse my parents bought a GPS system for the car and my mom looks at that more than the road. Let's just say I double timed in my pants while having to drive with her today.

So I have been listening to a lot of My Chemical Romance and The Used. If you ask me pretty good music. Some grade "A" tunes to get ready for the day with.

Today I saw a beaver stuck in gated off section of a large pond. That section that was caged in was about 1/50 of this GIGANTIC pond. Poor beaver was swimming against the bars looking at the other side wanting to be more free. You know, experience life on the outside of the cage. Too bad his parents don't live on the other side and have the means of getting him out, eh? Animal cruelty sure can be evil.

Is Virginia Really for Lovers?

Well I have moved on with my life seeking new thrills and opportunities. I went from the busy life of the Happy Valley of Utah to the chilled laid back life of Southern Virginia in a tiny town called Suffolk. Beach is close and all, but so is the raging south with all the southern accents, tasty grub and back woods hunting you can handle. Eh, I can get used to it. Big civilization is like 20 minutes away.

So ya, moved out here about one month ago now. I feel like in Utah I wasn't getting anything out of living there. I needed to be somewhere new. I watched the movie Big Fish the other day. I guess I felt like the main character. I was a big fish in a small pond and I had to get out. So I finished all my things in two weeks and moved. It was definitely hard and still is. I left a lot of good friends back there. At times, I feel like maybe I made the wrong decision. At times I know I made the right one. So is it better to go with the things we feel or the things we know?

All and all it's really not that bad out here. I start at my new job on monday. Little nervous I guess. I went to an open house for the job with about 44 other anxious job seekers. When we were all sat in a room, I looked around and noticed something. I wasn't in Utah anymore. One thing was I was definitely the only person that was apparent in the room with some asian background. Then something else clicked. I was the only white guy (well even my half wasn't good enough) in the room. This job will be an adventure in itself.

Well I am ready. I am ready for whatever life is headin my way. I wanted a change and I am getting what I am asking for. Oh... and as for the statement that virginia is for lovers? Well... I ain't seen none of that love yet... But still lookin.
