It hurts like brand new shoes
Wednesday, January 11th, 2006Wow, it’s been a while since I last blogged. All in all everything has been going pretty good. We’ve settled into our new place. It’s really nice. It has three bedrooms and two baths. It’s in a brand new apartment complex on the ground floor. Oh at last on the ground floor again. I hate lugging furniture up stairs. We’re just about through unpacking and things are shaping up pretty good.
Work this past week has been really exciting. Well exciting if you’re into geeky tech stuff. You know, I think I’m pretty close to doing the type of electronics work I’ve wanted to do since getting out of tech school. It seems like all that time I spent preparing to be the test engineers right hand man is finally paying off.
The area that we live in is quite picturesque with mountains in the distance, pine trees and smooth river stones. As beautiful as it is, it’s not very ethnically diverse. I look around and find that I’m the only black guy in the area. But that’s ok, I walk around like I don’t see the difference. So there I go around wearing my all black trendy New York garb. You know, the black slim cut Zara jeans, black turtle neck sweater and black Kenneth Cole’s acting like it’s perfectly natural out here in the boon docks. It’s funny sometimes it seems like the difference between fitting in and not is just your attitude. Not that I’ve fit in or anything. I guess I’ve just found a way to feel comfortable while doing it.
