Google Home has the John Williams music streamed from Pandora while I made another attempt of writing down the comings and goings of the past number of weeks. Today is Christmas Day, went for the Star Wars movie, ending the Skywalker saga which ran through forty years of life. All good things come to an end and seem to have some good reasoning behind the question marks we've collected over the years. Forty years is enough for life and death and re-born. Or, a number of weeks can do it.
- Established California residence, registered to vote, registered to have a car
- Established new insurance, new paycheck and soon new 401k account
- Living in a similar size two-bedroom apartment, baking a peach pie, having internet and watching varieties shows
If the above is too mundane lacking excitement, what about a 15% reduction in force in the first week of my new employment, having a colleague disappear over thin air right after a sit-down of a happy hour ... The market is brutal, changing from optimism and cheers to dismay and distrust. The capitalism that I had lived in, also the diversity and inclusion shit that I had to spend so much time learning of, all vanished because of the weakness of the general manager.
Love the things that are currently around you, these are what you have and what you can rely on. I am in California, nonreversible, and noncommittal. I am asking myself to move forward every day, no matter how small it is, even today.
Yes, beach tours are part of the moving forward.
- 1) Dana point, free parking and long stretches of walking shorelines in concrete walkaways
- 2) Laguna Beach, best of the scene of where the old money is ... hidden 3) treasure island and 4) victoria beach ... hard to find alleyways
- 5) Newport Beach, sharing the water views with your walker bys
- 6) Huntington Beach, park your car for $15 for a day of sand and beach and nothing else
Looking to launch a product next year in 2020 ... it needs to be the start of a new era. Less money exists and a better life it needs to deliver.
