Thursdays are for Thinkers!

That's me on the far right standing next to my director Sylvia(wearing black),

who is retiring at the end of the month, and all the other amazing people at the CCC

I wanted to show off this cool picture of the entire CCC Los Padres Center, corpsmembers, staff and yours truly. We took it for the Corpsmember Development Director - my supervisor, Sylvia Navarro-Miller, who is retiring at the end of the month. However she had no idea the picture was actually intended for her.

So how am I doing you may ask...or not. Either way I am going to tell you. Things are still going swimmingly. I basically have all but quit on learning Russian. I might try to pick it up again, but usually I get home from work I am so tired that I just want to lie (lay?what?) on my big comfy bed and fall asleep. Sleep and work; my weekly routine. Oh and of course hanging out with my girlfriend Nikki as much as humanly possible. And I have no problem with this routine since work is amazing, Nikki is a great girl, and sleep...well sleeping is the best. This is also mainly why I haven't been consistently blogging every day; I'm just too tired to try and get my brain to think of something clever to write about on a daily basis. But I will keep trying to whip something up habitually for my followers, who as of now are just Nikki and I. 

As of now my blog is a potpourri of ideas that pop up in my head or things I see in the news that spark my interest. This isn't a political blog or sports blog or anything focused like that (I can't seem think of any other types for some reason), but just a place where I can talk about stuff.

I kind of wanted to get into this story developing out of Ohio. It is very strange and tragic to say the least. But I hate ending my blogs on a sad note. I wish there were more upbeat stories in the news (have I ranted about this before?). So I will leave you with this: I went to Panda Express for lunch today, which is really bad because I had orange chicken yesterday. Anyways my fortune cookie said this:

"PEOPLE IN YOUR BACKGROUND WILL BE MORE COOPERATIVE THAN USUAL"

Yes the all caps are necessary. I'm not sure who this may pertain to, maybe the person who is literally working behind me? Who knows...

-Cheers
