Been awhile since I have been on here so I will update you all. Jacob recently informed me that if you search for Bothell brothel seattle on Google then you will find my blog. Ha! I would like to thank God and the academy.

So I actually moved away from Bothell recently. I was living with two roomates and it just wasn't working out. Let's just say the words "band practice" had something to do with it. The house was nice and a good location for work. All the rooms were big and we bought a pool table for the upstairs space. We had some fun parties and not too much trouble from the Homeowner Association president next door who acted like he was a real president. Parking was horrible. The whole neighborhood was a firelane so no parking in front. We had the neighborhood mailbox in front of the house so really incovenient, lots of people stopping by. There were 4 break ins including houses and cars. One crazy young girl walked into our house after swinging the door open, sat down and asked me my cat's name. I told her the cat was named "going to call the police" She had the nerve to walk through our open garage and poke her head through the entry way door one more time before i shooed her away with a broom. We had 3 cars and a two car garage with two car driveway. Needless to say everyone got blocked in a lot and had to move around constantly to accomodate.

I met a wonderful woman named Tori. She's 27 years old. We started dating on July 4th of 2008. Smart on my part because I have a good pneumonic device to remember the anniversery. Hmmm fireworks in my relationship oh Fourth of July!! Everything has been going great. We have been together for 7 months now and I couldn't ask for anyone better. I moved in to her house in Shoreline, WA a couple weekends ago. She has a dog which is worlds better than that damn cat Chloe. She had a room mate off of craigslist that just wasn't cutting her end of the cleaning. I neatly turned her room into my MAN ROOM. Black pleather loveseat with a recliner each end, my own recliner chair, my 42" plasma high def tv, my blu ray player, ps3 and surround sound. Not to forget my 220 dvds and 17 blu ray movies. I have become a collector of a sort. It's a nice place to get away from ....well the living room when I need too :-) The house is big enough and the

She has a graphics design degree however has been out of work for 6 months. She recently picked up a job about a week ago. Something legal documents, scanning and well I ask but don't know a whole lot about it. She hasn't been feeling well lately and found out yesterday that she has two types of the flu and possibly the start of pneumonia. We are trying to keep inside and she even bought a surgical mask for my sake. Awww. Anyways it's good to stay inside and save money because in March we are going to Disneyland for her birthday.

My job is still intact at Cardiac Science. I am working towards a lead position in my department which I am told is close to come. They just laid off about 71 people due to the sliding economy. We have been assured that even if things get really bad they shouldn't have to lay off more people during this year. I have worked hard to become a very valuable asset to my department. Others have jumped ship to another company and bascially paved the way for me to be the most experienced person on my support team. Hopefully this will make it harder to let me go and be able to keep my job through the turmoil. A lot of my friends have lost their jobs already and given Tori's situation it's tough to get hired right now by just about anybody. If you lost your job recently, hang in there and don't give up hope. Be the early bird and don't be too picky. Find something that works look for something else while you are working.
