Vacations, Life, and Goals

Posted on August 9, 2007

So today starts my first real vacation in a very long time. It seems odd to me that at the most simple and poorest time of my life, I get a real vacation. Any trips taken in the last 5 years was a trip with a purpose other then to relax. This week is different. The only goal _is_ to relax. The family and I are heading down to Hilton Head, SC to tour, golf, and swim.

A descison  has been made about my life and it’s future. I am moving out of New York and headed right back to Columbus. I decided this because I really want to return to Ohio State in the next year. It makes sense from a financial standpoint to return while I am still a legal resident of Ohio. Does this mean I hate New York? No. I can tell you that I will miss it very much and plan to return after I am done with college. Going to the city and working a job that just pays the bills was a big buzz killer and made it very hard to do more fun things in my free time. I did accomplish what I set out to do and that is important. I figured out who I am and how much harder life really can be. I know what I want and I know what I have to do. Now it is time to use this knowledge.

Websites, Football, and Trips

Posted on August 2, 2007

Been waiting for what seems like the better part of a week while the phoenixpb.com domain was being updated. It has been down since mid-July and has cut off email for a few players. Today, the domain allowed me to reset it to the server, so things should be ok once the DNS servers re-populate in the next few hours.

Joined a fantasy football league with the boys back in Ohio. We shall see how I fair in this game of pretend football.

Spent the better part of this week driving from the City to Ohio to try and retrieve the last of my personal items. Managed to get everything in the car except the TV and nightstand. I have a truck reserved for October to go and get the last of those items. I am also planning a trip to Hilton Head with the family next week in attempt to have somewhat of a summer.

Other then those items, not much else going on in Harshyland.

MTA Woes

Posted on July 16, 2007

Welp, what an interesting night it became. A friend from work had an underwear party at a bar just down from Times Square. Not too much going on there except the mass amount of buldge and a few good looking girls. I jus had a few beers. We go to the subway and my metrocard is expired. So I jump over the turnstile. That cost me a $60 fine. Word of advise here…don’t jump turnstiles even when no cops are around.

Still on the hunt for a good job in the city. Refining my resume has become hard, but I think I can find the right place for me to begin my career.

Updates and Plans

Posted on July 11, 2007

OK, so I finally finished moving all my blogs over to a central location. This ment conversion of over 150 entries over the last 4 years. Also, now I just post in this one location and everything else gets updated as well.

Planning on a trip to C-Bus at the end of the month to retrieve the last of my stuff and get it to the city. The lease at the old place is up on the 31st and I need that stuff moved by then. I also got word that the old car is sold. Now we just have to finalize the details on pick-up.

Life and Stuff…

Posted on July 7, 2007

So life is strange. I spend all my time working and sleeping with a meal or two somewhere in there. Guess being busy is good enough tho.

The last three months in New York have proven to be a challenge. I started a new job a few weeks ago answering phones for a Salon company in the city. I don’t like it and it feels as if I am getting farther away from my goals. This said, I might give that one up. On another job related note, I am in the process of doing things right and working on getting into my field of interest. I have made contact with someone that seems to be willing to help me get to the level I want to be at. If I do indeed get this job, I will be one step closer to a better life both mentally and with money. Here is to hoping for the best.

For those of you who have not seen a post on the http://www.dersoldat.org site, I have now setup wordpress to crosspost to both my main blog and to myspace. Those who know my computer talks know that simplicity is the key to perfection. This is just yet another prime example of this. I just write the blog once, and boom, it appears at both locations. This now means I might want to get dersoldat.org setup better then it is.

Planning on a trip back to Ohio to gather up the remaining bits of my stuff at the old apartment and moving it to New York. The last month of rent has been paid and we must be out of the place in Ohio by the end of the month. It will be a good excuse to visit all my friends back there as well.

Next project, finish website…
