So since my last post, my life has changed completely. I have moved 2,000 miles, got a job in an international business and had the oddest one night stand ever. After getting laid off in January, I was done with Utah for a while. I figured Salt Lake and I were in an unhealthy relationship... we needed to take a little break from each other.. a trial separation of sorts.
Once this liberating news hit the book of faces, I was invited to move out by two dear friends and that was it. I made a flash decision to risk it all for a new adventure. And that was when fate and most the people I know and love turned on me. Friends and Family thought that it would end poorly and wanted me to me to fail so that I would return. Even my car decided it was against this idea.. two days before the grand adventure, I found out that my suspension was fucked and there was a chance that somewhere along the journey, I may lose steering in my left front tire. Well, this may of stopped a normal traveler but not this guy... I went on a wing and a prayer.
For two months, I was unemployed minus a little hiccup, where I tried working for Greenpeace... thus comes the singular night friend story but I will come back to that. Right at the end of my unemployment... oh by the way, Fuck You Utah... and after a 5 hour interview and presentation... I got a sweet job in that building up in the picture. Now, I can stop the worrying about money issues that has been the last two years of my life. About time.....
Now, to the little hookup story. One of the four days that I worked for the environment superheros, I was doing my usual conversation starter with random people. I started talking to a girl who has having a hard day with a pissed off boss. I tried to get her to join Greenpeace.... that failed, she was barely making ends meet... but she was happy having someone to talk to. Work called on her and thus I thought would be the end of this story. About two hours later, said girl returned and asked me out for drinks. Thinking this would start be a deal-ender, I told her that I was broke and so it probably won't work. It may be my charm, looks or some father issue she hadn't dealt with but she said she would cover us. And so on... yada yada yada, I woke up the next morning ...happy that I still had my kidneys and with a smile on my face and no STIs. I haven't had a frivolous sexual encounter for a long time ( kinda feel like I have grown out actions like that) but it was nice to have the ego boost that comes from someone going all out to get close to you.
Things are finally turning up... within a month, I am hoping to have my own place and starting building my life for the next few years. Booyah... I took the bull by the horns and won!!
