Been spending the last several days working out consistently, avoiding client work and trying to fix my baby.
I’ve been neglecting my baby and someone else took notice and took advantage of her, violated her and changed her. Luckily she wasn’t in too deep and was salvageable. I took the right steps and got her the help she needed… the first step was WordPress plugin called Exploit-Scanner and copious amounts of scanning through every line of code and every file to fine something out of the ordinary.
So know, I’m keeping a close watch on my baby and hopefully it doesn’t end up like all the others.

“My future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades…”
Currently on a path to a new and better Tony. Newly single, starting to see the results of my “New Workout Plan,” and I’m starting to feel happy again.

Just wanted to drop a quick post to let the folks how I’m doing and that I am ok… For starters, I’m still unemployed. Yesterday was actually the 2 week mark since I’ve been fired. Luckily I’m not bitter, but I do a few choice words for some people, some colorful metaphors if you will.
Been trying to keep myself busy, spent a good amount of time redoing my resume and a few cover letters and sending them out to a few dozen places. I even had an interview last week, haven’t heard anything back but I’m trying to be optimistic.
Beside the job hunting, been getting more use to my Xbox 360 and playing Halo 3 a lot more. I’m actually to a point where I starting to play online a little and shopping around from a Halo clan. So if you play Halo 3 and want to play a campaign together, my gamer tag is PhllyBred drop me a line. Also trying to be more social, since commuting out to East Bumblefuck everyday took so muck of my free time, I missed a lot of the happenings in Chicago. So now, I’m been seeing a lot of movies and signed up for a social gatherings. A few of them hosted by CNSC.
On the relationship front, me and the S.O. are still hanging in there. We still have the occasional spats but its been 18 months and we’re still together.
So as I mentioned before, with all this free time, I’m definitely trying to experience life so I can post about it. Hopefully I’m doing much better then I did before.

I’ve been in a somber mood as of late. Money has been tight like wearing a medium t-shirt, I’ve been trying to move without having found a place to move into and the boyfriend has non-existent in my life for the last couple weeks. And the realization that I haven’t had any ass since December ’07 is making my dick mad at me.Â
That suicide is painless, it brings on many changes, and I can take or leave it if I please…
For the last month and a half, I’ve been staying a friend’s house in the city. And I’m so grateful that he’s opened up his home to me, but I feel so fucked up about the situation. There’s something about a grown ass man sitting up in another grown ass man space like he lives there. Also I really don’t know how I can express my gratitude without forking over a wad of cash. Again money is tight.Â

In the time that I’ve been staying with my friend, I’ve started taking the bus to work. At first I did this because, I was without my car for 3 weeks because bad brakes but now with gasoline running about $4:15 a gallon, I been hopping on good ol’ PACE and CTA. And while public transportation is a good thing, its great for the environment but them bastards made me late to work on several occasions. Late clock-ins mean less money.

Boredom has a grip on me. I spend most my time of, either packing or watching progress bars. Bit Torrent has become my new best friend and fuck buddy. The amount of music and porn I’ve download, I mean obtain is scary. I’ve broke the 10,000 mark for music tracks in iTunes and my porn collection has officially because criminal. Essentially I’ve barded my porn to my friend to stay at his place. He’s actually watched one move a night, just about every night I’ve been at his place and he has yet to reach the end of the collection or watch the same movie twice. That’s how much porn I have now. I know I need help.

Its almost been two months and where have I been? The short answer: Everywhere and Nashville! Since Thanksgiving my car, the Mean Green Piece ‘O’ Shit Machine, died on me twice. The first time the fuel pump went out, and 3 weeks later it was the starter that died. I was use the drive to Schaumburg, but evidently the Neon was not. So for a Christmas gift to myself I went out a got a 2002 silver 2nd generation Neon. Me and my Mopar. It has low milage and only cost me 7 grand. Its nice, but its not that PS3 and souped MacBook Pro I wanted.
Work is going great. Right after the holiday season ended I had got transfered to another Apple Store. I’m at new store thats a little smaller than Woodfield and a lot more closer to home. I’ve been spending the last couple of weeks getting use to the clientele and I think I’m definitely going to like Orland Square Mall. Now only if they had a better food court.
On the personal front, I’ve started dating again and I’m a couple of weeks strong into a good thing. Its really refreshing to have someone who actually wants to communicate and genuinely cares. If i can only get them to play GH3 with me, it would be great.
