searchin...

as you may know, ole dominator was shit-canned at work a couple of weeks ago. i can't say it was a complete surprise but it sucked nonetheless. the company went in a different tech direction and in a small company there wasn't time or room for me to learn the new direction. that said the job market is INSANE for developers right now and there are a lot of great leads i made in just one day. i'll keep you guys updated. but for now i'm...

more to come...

invictus...

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

-William Ernest Henley

i am going through a tough weekend (tough decisions) but this poem came to mind as i'm not trapped unless i want to be. hopefully, i will be enlightened enough to make the right choices. only time will tell.

kph/mph...

ok, i think we all go that lesson down. now for something more personal.

someone recently asked me if i was single because i was still hurt over my fiancee leaving three years ago tomorrow (08/08/08) my answer surprised even myself. i'm single because i understand the commitment and responsibility of caring for someone more than myself and that's not something i want to take on right now.

it's kinda like how i brought Roubaix into my life. (my beautiful orange tabby cat) she was a joy, until she started chewing up everything. after everything i tried, more toys, pepper spray, squirt punishment, she still kept chewing. finally the vet said "some cats are just chewers and unless she gets enough stimulation like more cats or people to play with she will just keep chewing" so i made the TOUGH decision to find her a new home. i'm happy to report Ruby (as her new family calls her) is doing awesome in her new home.

my point? responsibility. love takes responsibility. i can barely give myself the attention i need so what makes me think i can give that to someone else. far too often people look to be in relationships to get their needs met without realizing the responsibility of taking care of the other person's emotional needs. i mean i gag at the thought of me "having to care" about someone's bad day at work. that's crazy to me at where i'm at in my life right now.

don't get me wrong. i'm not all depressed and lonely, i'm rebuilding. and i like rebuilding without having to worry about others right now. don't get me wrong, i kinda miss the physical company of a girlfriend but i miss feeling like "my true self" even more so that's where my focus lays.
