odd timing

while at duffy's last night, i ran into a friend of my friend jenny. his name is justin and he's originally from georgia. he has been through bible college somewhere in georgia, a pentaoostal one. from his actions and words, he's left pretty much all of that behind him. we got to talking though. the subject of my job came up, jenny knowing that my last day at gallup is today. i asked justin if he knew of places hiring. come to find out he's a manager at the pita pit downtown on o street. he said, "i'll give you a job tonight". whoa! he even gave me a free meal there.

i'm excited to not have a lapse in employment. the culture at the pita pit among the employees is awesome and i fit right into most of it. there is food all around me and discounts on it - sweet! and i hang out downtown with people a lot, so it'll be nice to just be right there. but...

it's the pita pit. it's not the most desirable job by most anyone. but it is a job and i'll keep looking for another. the pay isn't super great, but with it being closer to home, i'm thinking i'll be driving less. plus there is a food discount. there will be some late hours involved too.

i'm thankful that i will still have an income as i continue to look for another job. i'm even more thnakful that i'm away from gallup, a job i simply cannot stand any longer. we'll see what happens. cheers . . ..

faith is the bird that sings when the dawn is still dark.

-rabindranath tagore-

there hasn't been a lot of action here

i've not really had much to talk about as of late. nothing productive anyway. it looks as it's rained overnight. that's good. and the temp for the past few days has been cool. i like it and i don't like it. the warmth of the summer is great. it lasts pretty much from may into september. but the coolness of the fall is too quick to turn into the cold of winter. fall is just too short a season. imagine if fall lasted as long as the summer! but then years would be longer because there would be something like 14 or 15 months in them.

cheers . . ..

weekends in the fall, simply the best

one of the greatest times of the year is fast approaching. that time is fall. ah yes, the autumnal equinox. already the grasses and weeds are into the drying out stage preparing for winter. everything is getting crispy. there will soon be a harvest. the sunlight is more orangish in color. the nights are becoming cooler.

this weekend was the first weekend for college football. nebraska won over nevada and showed much promise for this upcoming season. it will be exciting to watch them. notre dame, on the other hand, didn't show so well. they could only eke out a field goal while georgia tech put up 33 on them. ouch! but it's not all a loss, because boise st trampled their opponent. they came into the season ranked 24th, with hawaii ranked 23rd. the w.a.c. usually doesn't have teams in the top 25, so this is awesome. i'm really hoping both teams do really well.

brittan, on a whim, came up from texas this weekend. he and his grandmother went to the nebraska game yesterday. i imagine he felt out of place there. we hung out for a short while last night but i was feeling ill at the onset of the evening. i tried napping it off but that did not work. the headache i had wasn't a full on headache. it was showing potential, but it wasn't as strong as it could be. it was making me nauseous. i felt i could ralph at any moment. so i retired early, much to my dismay. i slept well. church was good, but it was my week to help out with the kiddies, so i missed the message.

i'm trying to let a beard grow in. it's itchy. people tell me it will subside. not soon enough though. linda anderson recommended using conditioner on it. i'll have to try that.

damn, it's nice out. i'm enjoying the breeze before i head off to work for a bit. tonight is 80's night. of course i'm excited. i'm off.

cheers . . ..
