walking for answers...

 Had a good day. Walked 5 more miles, which is turning into a good habit/routine. I get to listen to past episodes of Coast To Coast AM, something I can't get myself to do at home. Ended up at Costco again to have a cheap lunch, and it turned out I remembered something - I can get free food samples to eat there too, which can be slightly filling on it's own. What ended up happening surprised me though. I got talking to a couple of the ladies that serve the food samples, asking them questions about how much they enjoyed their jobs. These women are older than me, which says a lot about their character, but also about the job, that it's not all that difficult to do. I COULD DO WHAT THEY DO and not have to worry about injuring myself like I did at Whole Foods. They also only work the amount of hours that they want to work, which satisfies the other caveat that I have about not making too much money. When I left there I immediately recognized what was happening. God was testing ...

a tremble of excitement (rattled ol' man Darko's bones...) hehe

 So hey! I've applied for 2 different jobs in the past 2 days!! And I'm beginning to feel a tinge excited about the prospects. Although, I am also trembling a bit from fear that my resume shows too damaged of a persona for anyone to want to hire me... I have not heard anything from Whole Foods yet... Almost 2 full days have passed... I know that is not much time, but with all of the company's hoopla about how eager they are to hire new people, I anticipated being contacted immediately. One of my fears is that I have been blacklisted by the company because of how I quit my job (on the spot) when I worked for them back in 2015. That fear is part of what made me think and fear for all these years that they would never consider re-hiring me... during other phases when I felt curious urges about going back to work there again... Anyway, maybe I'll get a call from them tomorrow. Then today I applied for another "security guard" position in San Ramon. It's listed...

oh holy heck, how can this be...

 I have not written here in 131 days?? That's just NOT right. I apologize to you, to myself, to God, and all the demons that have been yearning to express themselves thru my thoughts, words, and ideas for this hiatus that can only be blamed on laziness and lack of focused inspiration. Let's see if I can get to the root of this NOW. A lot of things have been changing in my life, and the world at large in the past 131 days. As you may know, if you are a regular reader of this blog, I write when I feel like it. Sometimes there are days where pertinent ideas or information need to be expressed. Other times I have larger ambitions and want to develop a project, either one that's already been under development (i.e. Nanowrimo novel) or some newly thought up reason to write publicly. Today I'm considering an overhaul to many aspects of my life/work activities.  So something happened in the past two weeks, in the world at large, that temporarily injected panic into my mind abou...
