Too Much Time

Posted by Tim

I don't really know if anyone is still reading this thing.  I think it will be cool to have the blog anyway for myself one day.  To look back and reflect.  I was thinking today that I've almost forgotten about the whole first 2 weeks of my trip when I was traveling the Western US and going with the flow.  I was listening to some cds from the trip today and the music brought me back to that time.  I plan on looking back to the earlier posts to remember as well.

 

Things have been interesting.  It's been really difficult for me to have so much time on my hands without my usual comfort zones.  In Dallas I would watch the tivo at night or surf the net or go eat my usual Potbelly's.  I could also turn a 2 hour ride into 5 hours with travel and eating afterwards.  Now I roll out my door and ride for 2 hours and it's over.  Getting a job will really help my mindset and give me some structure which I really need now.  I can imagine people that think moving to a tropical paradise would be so amazing.  I would go nuts after a week.  I really need a large city around me with stores, good eating places, and places to go.

 

I've actually been thinking about moving down towards San Diego again.  I'm trusting this decision and putting the decision into God's hands.  If I get a job down towards town I'm going to move down.  Otherwise I'll stay where I am for now as I seem to be applying for a lot of jobs around Carlsbad.  Either way I don't really want to commute.  I do think it would be good to move closer to the city to have more social things to do.

 

I played tennis this morning and pretty much sucked ass in my mind.  I was still sore from Wednesday and it was somewhat hard to feel the racket.  I had the same problem getting my forehand in for the first 20 minutes.  I pretty much lost in doubles most of the day and kept moving down the courts.  I know I've only played about 3 times in 7 years but I expect more from myself I guess.  I was hitting the ball pretty solidly and it seemed like things should have been better but I guess it's just not practical for me to have the consistency yet.  I need to just enjoy it and not go psycho-competitive yet.

 

I have 2 interviews over the next 2 days.  Tomorrow is selling an amazing software that photographers can use to produce stunning imagery for their advertising shots.  I love the product and curious how it works.  Tuesday is for an internet, SEO or web design group in their sales department down in Pacific Beach.  If I get that job and take it I will definitely move down towards PB or maybe UTC near La Jolla.  That way I'll be in the heart of things.  I can always shoot up the coast 20 miles and check out where I am now. 

 

Thanks for reading all 1-2 of you.  My online diary without pictures these days.  Well, my melatonin should kick in soon, off to bed.
