  I apologize for being away for a while. You know about that desired change I wrote about. Well, a lot has happened during the past few months. It all started in February when a best friend called me about a job opportunity as a day porter paying $24 an hour with a corporate office company. Instead of working a scattered schedule and fighting to get more hours, I now work full-time with full benefits and a steady schedule. All I do is make coffee for scheduled conferences and all the break rooms, along with keeping track of the supplies. I work Monday through Friday 7-4 and having that as part of my routine feels great. The people that I work with are great too. Everyone talks to me and not to me.

Beforehand I didn't drink much milk, but for some odd reason, this new routine got me to drink more milk and eat more yogurt. My Mother didn't think much of it, she was pleased that I started doing this, since milk is healthy for you after all. For years my Mother tried to get me to gain weight since throughout my en

Living in My Own World

       I ask that you keep an open mind. This is one of those things that is difficult for me to explain and open up to others. It's one of those things where I've tried to explain and get nothing but confused looks or reactions from family and friends, or accused of being simply crazy from others. Originally I wanted to do a podcast but then reminded myself how much of a difficult time I have verbally explaining things to people whether it's because it just sounds bizarre, and someone will ridicule me for it simply because I'm very literal and they take it the wrong way or don't understand and their response doesn't make sense and throws me off. For example, I was in Atlanta one night working on a film project, and down the road across the street I noticed what looked like a woman walking down the sidewalk and then out of no were stops and just starts dancing. It was so random to me that I had to tell someone about it. So I told one of my coworkers wandering w
