  <description>Do you ever just have the need to go out and drive and drive and just drive and TRY to clear all the voices and rambles in your head?&amp;nbsp; I do... but I don&apos;t have a car. Haven&apos;t in over 2.5 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes I wonder where my life is going..&amp;nbsp; am I really happy?&amp;nbsp; I mean I am.. but there&apos;s so much I hoped to have had by now.. and I wonder if it&apos;s my fault I don&apos;t have it or that it hasn&apos;t turned out how I want... or what.&amp;nbsp; I mean.. what do I do?&amp;nbsp; I work a fuckin regular ole retail store manager job.. takes 60 hours out of my week... at best 50, I&apos;m a homebody, but even if I weren&apos;t, there&apos;s nothing to fucking do here, I have no car... I feel trapped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really don&apos;t think I like who I am...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the saddest part... is that I don&apos;t know what to do to change it, and if I did.. i&apos;m so fucking lazy I probably wouldn&apos;t anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever.</description>

  <description>It is what it is I guess.&amp;nbsp; 7 wonderful seasons and now Sara is leaving CSI. *cries*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her final episode is set to air on Nov 15th. :(&amp;nbsp; Will be a sad sad night.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;lj-embed id=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can only wonder how it will go...does she just leave Las Vegas?&amp;nbsp; Or does she simply leave the crime lab? I mean... argh...&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will miss you, Jorja Fox! Hopefully we&apos;ll catch you somewhere else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank goodness for Fan Fiction!</description>

  <title>Opportunity Knocking...</title>
  <link>http://bitter-n-proud.livejournal.com/1970.html</link>
  <description>Decision must be made by Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16K more a year... base pay.&amp;nbsp; Not including any bonus&apos;s that i&apos;m nearly guaranteed to get.&amp;nbsp; 10 more hours a week.&amp;nbsp; Lots more work, but I USED to do a lot more work 5-10 hours per week for less money...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only issue I have is that I would be out of my &quot;comfort zone&quot;... funny I never used to have one of those... now I do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if I get out, get through 3 months, i&apos;ll be getting the hang of it, more steady on my feet, plus providing a LOT more for myself and my wife.&amp;nbsp; And hopefully get our family and our future started a little sooner!&amp;nbsp; House, Car, Children.&amp;nbsp; And her not working.&amp;nbsp; Those are ideal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So basically I have to psych myself up, and not be discouraged if the going is rough at first....and considering it&apos;s nearing the holiday time of the year... i&apos;m sure it will be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve got 3 days to contemplate....</description>

  <title>So...</title>
  <link>http://bitter-n-proud.livejournal.com/1546.html</link>
  <description>It&apos;s Thursday.&amp;nbsp; CSI is on tonight! :D (I know, i&apos;m pathetic)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I&apos;m at work, but obviously i&apos;m not busy.&amp;nbsp; I came in, caught up my paperwork, did my ordering, and now here I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve been contemplating accepting a position with another company I was offered.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m supposed to chat with one of the big guys tomorrow morning.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m not sure it&apos;s something I want, but rather something I feel maybe I should do in order to better support my wife and myself.&amp;nbsp; It&apos;s more money (not crazy much) but it would help out.&amp;nbsp; Problem is it&apos;s a TON more work (not that I&apos;m afraid of more work) but it&apos;s at least 50 hours per week.&amp;nbsp; I know myself and my girl wouldn&apos;t like that.&amp;nbsp; We think we don&apos;t get enough time together the way it is...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think i&apos;ve made up my mind though.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m going to go, see what they have to say, and let them know i&apos;m not accepting anything without talking it over with her first.&amp;nbsp; But even still, I think it will be a call to decline, and stay where I am.&amp;nbsp; It&apos;s not crazy money, but we&apos;re getting buy and not struggling or having to cut anything off or whatever. So I&apos;d say that&apos;s still pretty damn good compared to how some have it.&amp;nbsp; So i&apos;ll stay here, where i&apos;m comfortable, know my shit and only decide to change jobs if and when we can afford to move out of this god forsaken town.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yeah, I&apos;ve made up my mind.&amp;nbsp; I guess the only thing left is that part of me really doesn&apos;t want to go and even listen tomorrow.&amp;nbsp; But I guess I at least owe them that much, cause I could have declined it sooner and yet I didn&apos;t.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yup.....</description>

  <title>Writer&apos;s Block: Two Tickets to Paradise</title>
  <link>http://bitter-n-proud.livejournal.com/1285.html</link>
  <description>If I won 2 plane tickets to anywhere in the world, where would I go and who would I bring?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Switzerland, and my wife.&amp;nbsp; She&apos;s always dreamed of going there.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;d try to get us a nice little cabin in the woods near a lift/lodge area during the winter.</description>

  <title>Obsession with Jorja Fox....</title>
  <link>http://bitter-n-proud.livejournal.com/1024.html</link>
  <description>So my wife tells me I have an obsession with Jorja Fox...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I could have told you that. *smirks*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve loved her since I first saw her on CSI.&amp;nbsp; Even my girl can&apos;t deny Jorja is seriously hot.&amp;nbsp; Yes there&apos;s an age difference but who cares. :D I&apos;m an adult, she&apos;s an adult, it&apos;d be all good.&amp;nbsp; If I were single. lol but i&apos;m not and don&apos;t want to be.&amp;nbsp; But we have agreed that if I&apos;m gonna allow her to kiss Amy Lee, then I should be allowed to kiss Jorja. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So besides my Jorja Fox obsession (and not like, I would stalk her or something crazy) just... yeahhhh LOL&amp;nbsp; CSI everyday, reruns, she&apos;s my wallpaper on my desktop... and not to mention I&apos;m TOTALLY digging the Catherine/Sara Femslash stories i&apos;ve been reading.&amp;nbsp; SO addicting. It&apos;s all I do in my spare time :D Read....mmmm hehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah so...love Jorja Fox.&amp;nbsp; She&apos;s tall, beautiful, smart, funny has the SEXIEST voice and I love her laugh.&amp;nbsp; and that little half smile/smirk thing she does.&amp;nbsp; yeahhhh lol I&apos;m brutal I know. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No bitterness to this post.&amp;nbsp; No siree...just...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obsession</description>

  <title>Obsession with time...</title>
  <link>http://bitter-n-proud.livejournal.com/1020.html</link>
  <description>I don&apos;t think this is really going to be anything pertinant as to the inner me, or something I really need to &quot;get off my chest&quot; but at the same time... ha..there&apos;s that word, I can&apos;t help but get some of this out of my brain before it rattles loose something important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get all that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, TIME.&amp;nbsp; A four letter word with too much meaning to be contained within the &apos;T&apos; and the&amp;nbsp;&apos;E&apos;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is it with&amp;nbsp;the obsession with time?&amp;nbsp; That&apos;s all we hear and think about now days isn&apos;t it?&amp;nbsp; Either we don&apos;t have enough time, or there&apos;s too much of it, this takes time, that takes time, don&apos;t take too much time, maybe sometime... I mean really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We say &quot;we have all the time in the world.&quot;&amp;nbsp; well, not we.&amp;nbsp; People say that.&amp;nbsp; I don&apos;t.&amp;nbsp; Because I know if that comes out of my mouth just once in all seriousness, that&apos;s when I&apos;ll personally find out just how much time I don&apos;t have.&amp;nbsp; Or someone close to me for that matter.&amp;nbsp; I don&apos;t necessarily believe in&amp;nbsp;being &quot;jinxed&quot; but at the same time, i&apos;m not skeptical enough to test it out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then, if no one says that, then they say &quot;we don&apos;t have that much time&quot;&amp;nbsp; I mean.. seriously.&amp;nbsp; Which is it? Is it different on each scenario and each person?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see it in the movies, a rush against time, or a lifetime together.&amp;nbsp; In songs, if only we had time, we had that time, there was a time, maybe sometime, time....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then it&apos;s in your everyday life too.&amp;nbsp; You&apos;re either rushing to get to work to be &quot;ON TIME&quot; or you&apos;re early and think &quot;oh I coulda had MORE time to do something else, or you&apos;re late because there wasn&apos;t &quot;enough time&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;blah, see this shit that just takes over my brain?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I could have been a smart child...person...and then the insanity took over.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, not insanity, the constant rambles like these that cloud me every single day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;blah.&amp;nbsp; what is blah? blah is the word when there just isn&apos;t a word to describe how you&apos;re feeling. it&apos;s what&amp;nbsp;comes out when your brain can&apos;t relay all the shit that&apos;s headed to your mouth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what do you get?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;</description>
