My Blog Was Lonely, So I Gave A Post

Oh good blog, how long has it been - and you - how have you fared in my absence? It's been a while since I've opened up this thing, but I've gotten a hit or two so I figure I should give my loyal readers something to do while they're here. I recently started a new job with ComputerJobs.com in Atlanta after moving from Southwest Florida. I have been using the ComputerJobs.com website to search for jobs for years now, and only recently did I inquire about a job here. Lo and behold, within a month of my initial inquiry, I had an offer to join the company's marketing department as a graphic designer / web developer. Things worked out quite well to get me here, and I couldn't be happier - the job is great, the people are great, everything is just great. I don't really have a ton of news other than that, to be honest. I don't have any crazy client phone calls, no weird things have happened to me in a while (no wonder I don't post on here anymore), and no big events. I will say that it's my 3rd anniversary in a week, and I'm completely lost for ideas on what to do for Kim. She doesn't read this thing, so I can talk about it all I want. ;) I guarantee however, because I wrote that, she'll make an unexpected visit to read this. Lastly, I will point out that my wife's website is coming along great. If you've not yet visited it, be sure to check it out by visiting http://www.mrsnelsonsclass.com. She has worked really hard on it, and she would be very happy if you would stop in and take a look around. I will have to come up with an interesting story, this post has become quite boring - I've almost fallen asleep writing it. So, without further ado: have a nice day.

Ready, Set, Hooray!

Got me a job, an amazing job - an amazingly amazing job. I start June 6th. I am so excited, I don't know what to do with myself. Maybe I should do some work since I still have a current job. Yeah that's a good idea!

Too Many Thoughts

It's been about a month since I made a posting, the reason being that I have been busy. My mind has been roaming about, like a moth, fluttering to-and-fro - a destination in mind, but with no path to follow. This is my last week at work, and my last in Florida. This weekend, my wife and I will be packing our now-boxed belongings into a truck, and starting a new life in a new city, in a new state - hopefully in one of mind as well. I feel that work has become only a place now where I sit and wait out the days before I need no longer come. Work becomes harder to do by the day, and yet more important and ever-more due. The hours are flying by as if to mock me, knowing the procrastinator that I am, and though my initiative is high, my morale is low. I have oft struggled with the opposite: high morale and low initiative. I feel sad that my time here has come to an end, and though the past weeks have been filled with excitement and anticipation, my thoughts have been filled anew with anxiety and stress, two feelings with which I rarely struggle. I have no fears, however; I rarely fear change. I look around my office; the white walls have become so familiar to me. I feel though that this environment is no longer a place of comfort to me, for no reason other than it being a temporary place of work. I have discovered it part of my personality that when I no longer see a future at my place of work, I begin counting the days until I will leave - this counting begins to consume me. I feel like I am a hard worker, but why do I find it so hard to work? Perhaps the knowledge that change is scary, perhaps the knowledge that things will not ever be the same. I am a person who nests, who finds a place and sticks. I like to think I am outgoing and adventurous, perhaps I am not ... I do not mean to sound somber, or melancholy, or pessimistic. I have much excitement about our move, and the promise of new work, new friends, and new adventures. I feel that I could have been a better employee, though I do not feel as if I was a bad one. Who will replace me when I am gone? I can only hope someone that has my knowledge, plus more, tagged with a strong work ethic. I think I am ready for the change, though I am never ready until it happens. I am ready to start a new life in a new place. The rest of my life starts today, it's time for me to start taking bigger steps forward - the stairs are certainly becoming larger.

The following post is a summary of my own opinions, and only my own opinions. Anything written to be understood as factual is a product of my own understanding, and is written solely by me, with no reference to any outside source aside from the link to the article - note however that much of this information will closely resemble information found on various other sites. I will stress firstly that I have no desire to sway anyone's opinion, or infringe on any rights of any person or organization. I am passionate about people, and I hate sickness. This alone is my inspiration for writing this. Dammit, this kind of crap makes me so mad. Debunking Cancer Myths on MSN.com. I don't care who tells you what, cancer is a preventable disease. Do some research sometime for yourself, investigate where cancer actually comes from - our body manufactures it, our entire lives, and our immune system keeps it under control. That's what the immune system does, that's its purpose - to keep us from becoming sick, or to fix us when we do get sick. Cancer occurs naturally when our immune system is too busy fighting off all the other poisons we are exposed to (in our food, in our air, in our water). So when we stop putting the crap in our bodies, living in toxic environments, and start actually questioning why we're the sickest country in the world (might I also add that we consume more than two-thirds of the world's pharmaceutical products - and yes, still the sickest, fattest country), only then will we start to see a change, and have finally found a "solution" for cancer. Forget "cure", it's a dead word and it's wholly owned by the modern-medical world. If we could finally tune in and start "preventing" disease, we would have no need for cures. And yeah, it's true - I'm not a doctor, but I'm also not an idiot. When 4 out of 5 people in the country are dying from heart disease or cancer, it's time to wake up. Remove the blinders and start asking questions. We are a farm. We are cultivating disease, and spending billions of dollars to then cure it. Why would we do that? Curing diseases is profitable; it generates more money than any other industry in the country. A father would give his own life to obtain medicine that will cure cancer in his son, daughter or wife; why then would he not give all of his money? (BECAUSE I NEED TO WRITE THIS TO PROTECT MYSELF: I make no claims, whatsoever, to the validity of the information in this posting. I take no responsibility for any loss that may occur as a result of this information. I am not a doctor, nor do I claim to be one. I will say however, that I am concerned about the state of this country and its people - please, do some research, come to your own conclusions. It's a free country, take advantage of that.)
