My interview today

I had a job interview today and the interviewer stunk. I wish people will take recruiting more seriously. It is more than just asking questions. He was so bad that he didn't even take the time to read my resume ahead of time.

Less Stress

I left my job two weeks ago and have been getting the house ready for sales. I also have been hanging out with a new bunch of friends. I definitely feel less stressful right now. I am able to wake up in the morning without any help.

Yay

!!I am heading out to the wood in a few hours, yay!!

Why part 2

I have yet to sleep yet. I am too stress out to sleep. I am just glad that I am not working. I will be no good to anyone. I have to learn to deal with stress.

Figuring out my near future

I am a clear idea on where my life is heading in the near future. It will be a period of time for me to be myself and raise my son.

• I am going to drive a VW GTI
• I am going to work as bar tender
• I am going to live in a 2 bed room place
• I am going to continue to ride my bike
• I am going to learn how to ride a motorcycle
• I am going to move on from my past
• I am going to start running again

I have had too much negative thought in the past and I need to snap out of it.

Why?

My ex already have 2 boy friend since our seperation last July. For some strange reasons, those 2 boy friends had threatened me. The latest one happened tonight. He threatened me because he didn't like the way I have been calling my ex. He called that harrassment because I kept calling her yesterday. He said that he is involved because I dragged him in. For fuck sake, he dragged himself in. He can choose to sit out, as the affair between me and my ex doesn't concern him. People needs to stop being macho and shit.

Change in situtation

Although I am civil toward my ex, but I believe that it is better if we are not friends for a while. I cannot handle her in my life for any longer. I would love to help her, but it is time for her to go on her own. I have to let go of the past. No more. Once everything is settle. I am gone

A new week

Monday. 11am. I am watching Hell Boy: the Animated Series on TV. I am unshaven. What is a man gotta do? I am enjoying my time off from life!!!

New Career

I am not sure whether I will go back to the recruiting industry. It is a fun job, good benefit, but It still has a bad name. Even I am trying to be different that every other recruiter out there, but I couldn't be any different. I realised that I wasn't returning calls or respecting some candidates. I had loads of fun headhunting, but I can use that skills for something else.

I am done being a recruiter. I am going to get myself into something different. I may be going to become a event coordinator.

Another Chapter

I just turned off my alarm because I don't need it anymore. I put my trousers, ties, shirts, and jackets away because I am not going to need it for a little while. I can even put the car away, as I am going to commute on my bike because I am not going to be in a hurry any more. I am trying to get myself back into shape.

It is going to be a change of pace for a while. I am unemployed. I have been in this situation in a very long time. I am not worry this time. It is because I need this time to get my shit together. I don't know how I am going to it, but I will do it. I need to get myself back to 100%.

I am going to sleep well tonight. I am going to sleep in tomorrow. I am going to have breakfast and then I am going to find my way. I am going to meditate. I am going to write another chapter of my life.

The Season opener

I raced the First cyclocross race of the season yesterday and it was also my first race in 3 season. I was busy with various family obligations. It was a relatively easy race, but it wasn't for me. I had lots of troubles with tire installation on Saturday. I elected to use a skinner tires. However, I had troubles in putting the tube between the tire and the rim. I had no problem installing the rear tube, but I kept flatting the front tube. I went through more than a few tubes. I finally managed to install a tube without any trouble.

The skinnier tired caused me another set of problems during the race. I misjudged the terrain of the race course. The tires didn't provide me lots of traction. I had a hard time keeping the bike on a straight line. I couldn't do it. When I was at the stream, I lost traction and I went for a swim. I was fast on the hard pact, dirt and road. But I lost a lot of time because of the stream crossing and the loose rock sections.

Still, i had lots of fun. I want to get back to the life style of a racer, and I am using this season opener as a reminder of my past. I am going to focus myself in the scene in the next 2 months.

I am a bike racer and I love it!!!

Coffee

I must get a coffee before I passed out.....

Getting ready for the weekend

This weekend is about Racing. I will be suiting up a cyclocross race this Sunday. I have raced in about 3 years because of my son's soccer game. Now my situation had changed and I am free to race again. I am really looking forward to this race, even I didn't train according to a schedule. I rode my bike when ever I could.

I am 'Crosser. I love to Cross and I will be Crossing once again.

Why humanity will be doomed

It is because people in power are stupid. They are not doing anything good for us, but to send us to early grave in the name of corporate profit. They want to control everything and create chaos all over the world.

Who killed the electric car was on cable last night, but I could not finish watching it. I got angry at corporate America. These people are short sighted and they are stupid. The killed the electric car because they want to keep the Middle East busy. Oil is the only export from those countries. Without the oil industry, Middle East will have nothing to sell. The Oil Tycoon will be poor. The Governments don't want that to happen.

Auto makers are chicken shits. They are in business to build cars. As a consumer, I don't care what power my car. I will buy anything that will save me money and get me from one place to another. Combustion engine is only one of the many methods to propel a car. Why would the auto industry shy away from it.

The Auto industry claims that there is no demand for electric cars. As far as I know, people will buy anything. If people will buy pet rocks or crack cocaine, people will buy anything. If the auto industry tries harder, people will start buying them. If Toyota and Honda are able to sell hybrids, why wouldn't those dumb fucks in Detroit follow..

There is always away to solve these problems. I am sure that some scientist can create a snythetic gasoline and give the exclusive right to those companies. It will keep everyone happy.

Not a smoker

I don't smoke cigarettes but I like to enjoy an occasional cigar with a drink. Tonight is one those nights. I pour a glass of Wild Turkey Whiskey and sat in the front with a cigar. I enjoy the aroma with the drink. It relaxes me.

Youth XL

I am glad that I am the size that I am. I know that I am trimmer than a few months ago and that my clothes fit me better. I have more wiggle room because my increased exercise. Still, I am glad that I still fit into a youth XL. The clothes are few bucks cheaper than adult shirts and less boring. I can pick up shirts from the sci-fi and comic books genres.

Yeah baby!!!

A week until race day

Although I have not been training hard, but I am still going to do the cyclocross race in Fort Langley next week. I have not been racing because of my son's schedule. I have the chance now and I also want to see how off the back I am. I am going to have fun and try not to kill myself at the same time.

I really enjoy the racing aspect of it. I love the thrill when I line up at the starting line with fellow racers. Cyclocross racers are no walk in the park. Every racer go flat out for 45 minutes. Aside from riding, we have to dismount from our bikes quickly and run up steep hill. It is about the racer and the elements. It is an event that combine riding and running with the bike on the shoulder.

Of course, the monthly Vancouver kilts night is 2 days before the race. I will have to behave myself.
