Playing Catch Up (With My Blog)
Hi, all! It’s Bchace
here! Now, I know what you’re thinking, yes, I know it’s been a while since my
last blog post (Give or take a month). I do sincerely apologize, my dear
viewers. It’s been so busy around here in good ol’ MA! Lots of life changing
experiences and opportunities. Let’s play catch up a bit, shall we? Then we can
get to what you really want to hear about… GAMES!
Okay, so… where do I start? I’m
mobile! Yes, yes… I now am officially a proud owner of a ’99 Nissan Altima. I
can’t even explain how amazing it is to be able to bring my girlfriend to and
from work, pick up and reserve video games at Game Stop, and just being able to
get around in general. I don’t have to rely on my friends (or family) for rides
anymore, and that’s an amazing feeling. Of course, having general anxiety,
coupled with the fear of driving, really made the transition difficult. I’ve
always had trouble getting behind the wheel, to the point where I would have
panic attacks, and lose control of the wheel. I almost ran into a power line
one time, solely because I was so terrified to even turn the wheel. Strangely
enough, I got over that fear at a hurried pace, due to the fact that, well, I
needed to get to work, and my family refused to drive me now that I had a
registered vehicle.
Everything is looking bleak on the
job front… yeah, you heard me. Job prospects, after all the applications I have
continued to put out, haven’t been panning out like I had hoped they would.
Managers that say they received my application, and that they “will call”,
which generally means that they won’t call you. It’s unfortunate, but, that’s
okay. With a bit of luck, I just recently started a job as a scribe at my local
college for a disabled student. It was my first day today, and it actually went
rather smoothly. He’s a very nice guy, and he appreciates everything that my
position does for him. Our personalities seem to click very well, too!
Unfortunately, I cannot help him with his work (or tutor him) … I had a talking
to (in a polite manner) with his instructor, who was also in the same position
as I was. I am simply a pair of hands (and a pen and paper) nothing more than
that.
In other news, to those of you who
have been dutifully following my gaming blog (Thanks again, beeteedubs!) I am
looking into starting a film blog, where I will be discussing various aspects
of cinematography, among other things, and reviewing recent films that I have
seen. I will post a link when I have my first article up!
Unfortunatley, I have a bit of bad
news…
It’s nothing entirely serious, but,
my gaming budget has been severely cut, which will unfortunately set back my
gaming blog. I only have so many games I can trade in to Game Stop before I
will run out, and, you know me, I don’t trade in my favourite titles. With the
recent addition of a smart phone ($45), gas ($40-80 per month) and Car ($50+)
and my hours getting cut back at work, it’s going to be hard to continue
gaming, or at the very least, buy new titles. Thankfully, I preemptively purchased
Warlords of Draenor, and I was able to pick up Watch Dogs, and pay off Super
Smash Bros 3DS. Those may be my best friends for quite a while, until new job
prospects (which will pay a bit more $$$) turn up. Granted, I love my jobs, and
I love helping people… BUT (There’s always a ‘but’) I’m not paid well. $8 an
hour and 18 a week isn’t going to allow me to put any cash into a savings.
Sorry, I’m rambling…
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed his bit
of a ‘catch-up’ blog. It makes me feel good that I have avid readers (such as
you) who take the time out of your day to read my content. Really, it means a
lot.
June 9th… you know what
the means?!
