Welcome



I decided to start this blog so that I have something to look back on and remember - a diary of sorts. My memory is terrible. I forget the things that have shaped me in to who I am and so much great stuff has happened to me since 2011 started that I don't want that to be the case.

So, here we are. More of a personal thing really, but for those who wish to read a little bit about me, Kuk Sool, computer gaming and other random stuff, you are welcome to. Enjoy!

(Newer posts appear at the top, by the way. So please start at the bottom and work up ;) )

Down, then up... and then down

Well, the year started badly with my dear Granddad's funeral, then it started to go really well: Ordered a new TV, Kick Start, back to Kuk Sool and enjoying learning the new Blue Belt form and techniques, finally got my computer to play Star Wars: The Old Republic...

...then today we are told that the company is downsizing. There is a very real possibility that I may lose my job.

I don't feel depressed about it necessarily, but I am quite scared and worried about what I'll do. This is pretty much my dream job. I get to draw and paint all day and I get paid well to do it.

Looking at Job websites, everything close to what I would want to do requires all sorts of programming skills which I simply do not have. Jobs around here also don't pay anywhere near what I earn currently so we may have to move, sell the car, etc, etc...

I don't think I've ever been so worried for my future before. It is not pleasant.
