2016 The New Year And My Plans

Well like my last post that kinda summed up my last year well this one sums up my plans for this year.

So this year  I have allot of plans of what involve allot of money. To do most if not all of these I will need one  or maybe 2 things. First thing is a roommate. But that is a tricky thing for me because I have been screwed over by more than a few roomies. So it is rather hard for me to trust anyone to let them move in with me. I am trying to convince a few people i know but no such luck yet. The other thing is a promotion at work. While I  feel with how hard I work that i am sure to get the promotion at least of some sort i cant guarantee it  let along when it will come if it dose.  

So anyways start off with something simple. A few years ago I commissioned a piece of art.

My plans are to get this as a tattoo on my back. This wont be a cheap one though i have yet to get a estimate on it yet so I don't know how much it will be yet.

The next bit is another thing dear to me. And I already know will be quite a bit but is very special to me. And that is to adopt a special new  family member. You can see right  below.
 This beautiful wolf hybrid. Just to buy one it will between 600-1500 for a decent pup. But they are my spirit animal and a deream I had one winter equinox made  me officially decide it was the time to start to try to adopt one.  On top of the nice little amount to there will be allt he initial cost of getting a new animal also.  So money wise might be a bit later than i would like.

The next thing is to get a few new lenses  for my camera. While the kit lens I have for my camera is pretty decent it certainly has it's limitations.  I want to get a Telephoto lens that are meant for long distance. While i can bullshit my photos for macro photos like below.
It however is impossible to bullshit long distance photos with a kit lens so getting a telephoto lens ifs the top of my list for getting lenses anyways. The second lens I wish to get is a true macro lens but if i can't manage to get a macro one i think i will be fine with  my kit lens for macro photos. Again though if you haven't seen  all my photos you can see em here.


Anyways the last thing is to get a few art commissions for a few things that have been on my mind for sometime now. But both of which will not be cheap. They both are something i really want to get done bur no idea how or when i will get these done but they will be truly beautiful images.

Well those are some of the bigger things. I also plan to get my bike repaired as well that will run to be a decent amount  seeing as i need to replace  a few parts in it. I also plan on getting some more furniture for my place since I still don't have a dinning room table and chairs. As well as a TV stand, dresser, and other such furniture.

Some of these things  I plan to get i may be able to get for free other things not so  much lmao. Now i know these plans are rather large most likely I will not get them all done. But I sure as hell plan on trying to get as much as i can get done.


Though  do not know what this year will hold for me or what of my plans i will be able to get done. But i feel that this year will be a good one.  I feel good things will finally come to me. I have worked really hard to get to where i am now. For the most part i have survived with  very little help up here other than the initial cost for getting into my new apt and some bills when i was with my former rommie i have survived on my own. So i feel good about things . Where things will go and what I will be able to do this year i do not know. But I for the first time in a long time feel things will go well.

1 Year in Washington. Time has just flown by

For those who don't know January 3 2015 was when i moved up to Washington. It has been one hell of a ride being up here. When i first moved here i moved in with someone i hardly knew. Now don't get me wrong I don't think he is a bad guy but I just felt like the damn  guys mother. I ALWAYS and i mean that literally took out the trash,flushed the toilet after him, did his dishes,  Basically he did nothing. And just got old. So when I finally got a job at Sweeto Burrito I decided to move out. I was lucky enough to get into apartments pretty damn close.

I would actually like to elaborate a little more on my current Job. It has been a great pleasure working there. There have been allot of head aches and allot of drama there. But that being said it still has been one of the best Jobs I have ever had. The relationship there between employees and managers is nothing like i have ever seen before. It is a truly unique place to and a place I do not mind sticking around for a long time. I feel more appreciated  at my job now that i have anywhere else. When i worked for Publix for 2 1/2 years I felt rather used. A handful of full timers and even some part timers thought i should have been given full time and i never was. The manager last time i asked her about promoting me to FT was not able to give a valid reason why. So it was at that point i quit. While it is to early as well as were not ready to give promotions yet I do feel I have a far better chance  of getting promoted. I do not feel like it is a hopeless thing like at publix. I do not know what the future holds for me at Sweeto but i do think it will be good.

As for other things happening up here. Because I am at work most days i hardly ever get out but I have made a few good friends.  Though when i do manage to get out I have fallen in love with the Nature around here. I love riding my bike up and down a rather LARGE and i mean large bike path that goes along the river near me for a large section of it. As well as going through the woods in some area's as well. Not only that but i also love riding my bike over to the next town a few miles away and then going to the Lake on the out side of it. By the rides end it is a pretty long one made longer by a large section being up hill riding. While riding i have also started to get  into more serious photography if you wanted to check out my  page you can see all my photos here. I have always loved photography but have never been able to get a decent Camera for it. Until this year when i finally was able to get one. And as you can see by the page while I do have ALLOT of room for improvement I think I can say I do have a decent amount of tallent. Though as of late I haven't done as much as I would like. Little hard to get around with all the snow and the fact I need to repair my bike. While it is usable I would rather not use it unless I have to till i get it repaired.

Moving up here to Washington I think is one of the best moves i have ever done. It is far better than FL and even better than CA as well.  In CA i just felt it wasnt for me. But in FL I always felt depressed disconnected from the environment.. However here in Washington I feel so in tune with the land. I feel like this is where i am meant to be. While i may at some point move again i do not think it would be that far of a move. I will stay in the same general area. I just love it up here is all i can say. The energy I feel i the land up here is amazing, I do fully intend to explore more of the land up here and just see everything. Coming across a truly magical spot of view is just an amazing thing. You can even check out allot of these spot on the photo page i linked earlier.

Summing everything up I am very happy to have moved up here and i look forward for the first time in a long while for the year ahead. What it will hold I don't know but think it will be a good year. I will explain a bit about what i  wish to do  in my next blog post coming later tonight or tomorrow.
