More petty bitching, feel free to skip

I fucking hate the job market in NY, the only calls i ever get are from fucking scammers. Seriously 99% of all listings in the Security industry or for fucking security schools who want to sell you classes and as soon as they find out that you have all of the classes you need suddenly they no longer have over 50 positions they need to fill ASAP, and some of the more unscrupulous companies try to get you to come down for far fetched classes such as Homeland security and Metal Detection that I am positive they are not qualified to give.(And usually these sort of places don't even have job LEADS much less "placement")
Also Health Insurance companies who want you to come down and interview only to ask you to put up money so you can get your insurance licence.
And lately I keep running into fake job websites were you apply for a job and the website calls you trying to sign up for college courses..UGH!
Thankfully I have enough foresight to research all these companies online so I rarely waste my time going to any bullshit interviews, but it still pisses me off.
Just a little frustrated right now.
Sorry for the shitty grammar but its LJ and I am not in the mood.

I can has new job?

con

Dana Eddie
Con was fan-fucking-tastic. A huge thank you to everyone involved, I know how much blood sweat and tears went into it and you all did a STELLAR job. That was probably one of the best if not The best cons I have been to. If you guys need an extra hand getting ready for the next one you know where to turn.
My only regret was that (as usual) I didnt get to hang out with all the people i wanted to and not enough with the people I did get a chance to hang out with.
HOB stage was awesome to perform on
Gary Shail was a fucking riot
Pat Quinn was lovely and accomodating as always
All in All a brilliant time.
I will possibly write something more detailed later, but mostly wanted to show my appreciation for all the hard work that went into putting this con together.

I need to start using this thing more

fear and loathing in transylvania
Holy Crap, I havent written in this thing for ages, I really need to change that...
I guess I will just do a sort of update on my life kind of thing, the last times I posted consistently on here was to bitch about Blu-ray stuff and do that Book Challenge (which I totally forgot about and am pretty much done with bc ive read about 20 or so books since the last time and I dont feel like a massive update, but who knows)
I know that people talking about their fitness regime/dieting process can be all kinds of hot snotty tears boring but its become a big part of my life so an update would be incomplete without it. After looking at my life and some health problems and attitude I decided I needed to make a few changes in my life healthwise so I have working out almost every day, doing aerobics and strentgh training. I run about 4-4.5 miles every morning (in place), Burning about 500-600 calories.
Also I have started following the Paleo Diet, which for the curious is also known as the caveman diet. No Starch, Dairy,Legumes,Refined Sugar,Tubers,Grains, (nothing thar has to be cultivated) etc and i have to keep sodium to a minimum. Basically I am a raw food vegan who eats meat and eggs and cooks his vegetables...wait, no that is a shit analogy. Basically i usually eat the same thing every day, Veg, Meat, eggs, and fruit and on sunday I sautee a steak in peppers and drink about 4 liters a water every day. (yes, I piss ALOT) Ive lost 40 pounds since the middle of september and should be down to about 250 around 4711 if I dont fuck it up. I have no idea the last time I weighed under 280 and that includes High school. I am also try to tone up at the same time so hopefully I wont look droopy as I lose weight.

I'm still working as a doorman on the Upper west side, the job is easy (too easy) but the job kind of sucks bc of the company I work for sucking and the pay rate not being very good. I know people out there are in worse positions and I do feel lucky and happy I HAVE a job but that doesnt stop me from fucking Loathing my workplace.
Hopefully ill get the day shift soon and it wilbe slightly more tolerable or even better Ill get that fucking Karaoke Host job (not holding my breath on that one)

Me and Nicole are awesome as always, No one has ever understood me and treated me as well as she has, I only hope she realizes how much I appreciate having her in my life, I really lucked out when i met her and i must have done something good in a previous life that she consented to be my girlfriend.

Other than that life is ok, Not thrilled with my living situation or my commute but it could be worse. Wish I had a car so i could get down to Jersey more often, I really enjoy the hell out of the HOH crew and I am happy to be part of that group if not as much as Id like to be. As far as moving goes, at the moment we are going to be out here for a while at least, we have changed the date several times at this points so I am basically just going with the flow, moving and not moving both have their pros and cons so I am basically just letting Nicole steer the boat on this one, not making her sail on her own, just letting her steer. Its a big step for her and not that big of a deal for me.
Well that was cathartic, I think I wil cap it off there.
