Well I decided to go ahead and get an hourly job to work until I leave for San Diego. I had applied at Jiffy Lube when I was first looking for a job and I got an interview. They wanted me to come back for a second interview and I declined because I thought I was going to be working at 24 hr fitness. Well I called Jiffy Lube back last week to see if they still needed someone hardworking and experienced to work there. He said to come in the next morning witch was Friday. So I went down there to talk to them (I took my birth certificate cause I knew I would get the job and they would need a copy. I was gone for about ten minutes. I come home and my roommate looks at me with a confused look "What happened?" he says "Why are you back so early?" I said "Those jerks!! They gave me the job" I was there for like two minutes. I wonder why I even had to go but I know they wanted to see if I would come probably. So I start working on Monday. I'm not going to lie I am kind of excited to work there. I enjoy working on cars and staying active. So I think it will be good for me and help me loose weight.
I am proud to announce that I still have not had soda for over a month now. Nor do I crave it at all. I have eaten out two or three times since I stopped drinking soda and I almost got soda just out of habit when the waitress says "Would you like something to drink?" and I would always reply with "Diet Coke." Well not anymore. And last night when I went on a date I just had water and it was no different that if I had got a soda. It used to be when I drank water with a meal it would be tasteless and it would knock out the good taste. Well I think since I don't drink soda anymore than my taste buds aren't expecting that sweet taste so it doesn't bother the taste of the meal. And lets face it water is just much better for you.

New Opportunities
Well as you all know I don't have a job. I have decided to do a summer sales jobs. I will be leaving to San Diego in April. I will be there for four and a half months. In San Diego I will be selling security systems in San Diego, Carlsbad, and Oceanside. I am really excited for it. I spent about four hours today talking to the guy about it. My roommate is doing it and the manager that I talked to today is one of my roommate companion on his mission. I feel really good about doing it. I am confidant that it will be beneficial for me and it will help me in getting out of debt. I am super excited to be able to go back to California. I have been wanting to move back there for a long time. It will also be good because I will be going with a few guys I know and will be making a lot of new friends and having some great experiences.
"Just Go For It"
Well its been an interesting start to the new year. I got fired from my job and have been unemployed for the whole year. I got a job at 24hr fitness selling memberships. I haven't started yet though. It has been extremely boring not working. My roommate Brandon got fired as well so it hasn't been as bad cause we can hang out all day.
I have still been snowboarding and have been making a lot of progress. I figured out that I can go down the hill as fast as possible by staying loose and keeping more weight on my front foot to maximize control. Almost every time I go the ski patrol threaten to cut my pass if I don't slow down. I have a new mod-ow snowboarding that has made me explode with new tricks and accomplishments "Just go for it". I have been saying that every time I get intimidated by a big jump, rail, box, or section of the mountain. I have also found out that on boxes and rail slides I have more control the faster I go. I also have found that I crash a lot less and it hurts a lot less the more loose I am.
I put my new mod-ow to the test and decided to try the half pipe something I have always been intimidated by. So I go for it and as I pick up speed the higher and higher I get up the half pipe, and the more scared I get. I get to the top and I get scared and I don't commit to turning and boarding back down. Instead I try to stand up on about 7 or 8 ft of vert. Vert for those of you who don't know is the straight vertical area of the half pipe. So by not turning and trying to stand straight up it causes me to catch an edge and fall straight back on the 7 ft of vert. I slam flat on my butt and back on mostly ice. My pants act as a shovel scooping a bunch of snow down my pant. Its okay it wasn't cold because my butt was already numb from the impact. So I didn't even realize I had so much snow down my pants until I got to the lift and went to pull my pants up. That's when I realized that I had a bunch of snow down my pants and that I couldn't feel the top of my butt anymore. But none the less I had an awesome time as I always do. I find that night riding is the best for me. I don't know why but I do my best boarding at night.

Might as Well
Well here it is. I figured that since everyone else in the family was doing this I might as well do it too. I have never done a blog before so I hope I can keep you all posted on how I am doing. I also hope it will help me improve my grammar, spelling, and typing skills. I will try to post something new every week but my life is not very exciting right now so I will probably only go for twice a month. We will have to see how it goes.
