It's been a long time since I have gotten on here to update this thing. Alot has happened since the last time I updated. I will need to start updating this quickly to get back up to speed.
I finally made my break for it and moved to Dallas! It was a long time coming. Too long, almost. And guess who I'm living with.... If you guessed Chris, you are sadly mistaken. I live with good old Felisha Cortez! Crazyness, I know. Me living with a chick.l thought that would never happen. But it has, and I love it. Felisha is a good roommate, and a caring friend at that, too.
As I write this, I'm sitting on the couch watching the hunger games... Chick flick, I know.. But I still haven't seen it yet and mom and dad keep talking about how good it is. Felisha is passed out (or was) on the couch next to me. I for once, have time to kill it seems. Work was long and a little boring. Luckily, we get to wear shorts and t shirts to work for the rest of the month! Not only that, I have actually saving sme money now that I'm bringing my lunch to work every day... I actually went to the gym during lunch and worked out with Ervin, the huge black guy from my work. The guy is jacked, and only 28, but he looks 24-25 and he crushed me in the gym.. It was nice being able to work out and have a spotter there that can push me a little, and I think it will help in the long run. It's kind of nice working out during lunch because it gives me more time to do stuff in the evening. Today was much needed.. I don't get to see felisha very often now that she has a boyfriend.. And yes this is about to get wield, lol but her boyfriend is Keith.. Omalley. Yah, no way am I making that stuff up. Keith and Katie actually broke up... And almost like immediately afterward, he started dating felisha. I still don't know how I feel about the whole situation. Katie is still considered a friend to me, but so is Keith. He's a good dude and one of my best friends. Lately, when he was still with Katie, he got super flakey but now he's not so much flakey.. I think part of that is because he knows I live with felisha so he knows if he woos me over it would put him in a good spot with felisha, and part because he is over here all the time that I just happened to be here. The reason I don't know if I'm for it is because I don't think Keith is a Christian.. And felisha is a huge Christian. I just feel like god would want her to be with someone with a Christian background... But who knows, I'm not one who can judge and Keith might become the next billy graham, I have no clue.
My birthday is in 2 weeks! I will be 26 years old . Crazy yet I still feel so young.. I have so much to accomplish.
I also found a great great church called the porch at watermark.. Its seriously a great thing I found out about this church. Unfortunately, I can't quite remember if I had been praying to find a church or not when I moved to Dallas, pretty sure I did though and I found a good one here. It's like a huge youth group... The age range is between 22-35 and about 1300 people show up to it every Tuesday. The minister is awesome! I think he is like 27 or so, but all his sermons make sense. They are like perfect for what every person around my age needs to hear. The girls here... Yeah, all pretty. I've been talking t some new ones every single Tuesday at I go. I also really like the small group shindig afterwards.. It's called community. I've met a really cool guy there named Toby, who is becoming one of my best friends lately. No more hanging out with Pi kapps really, anymore, besides Chris. It was crazy that I came here on a whim and by myself, showed up, talked to one guy and told him I was new here and asked him where the sanctuary was, and that guy somehow found me among 1200 other people to show me small groups. I wasn't even really interested when he told me about them.. I was kind of dreading it actually, walking with him down the hall to the small groups area. But after the first session, I became hooked. And I don't just go to Tuesday's events only, either. I go to numerous other ones, and quickly my friends list is changing as I'm adding new Christian girls that I can rely and confide in and christian guys that will have my back.
Yesterday, after work, Chris actually made an appearance at the porch for the very first time. He had promised me the Tuesday before that he would come out the following Tuesday.. He actually moved in with his sister and doesn't live with his parents anymore. On top of that, Chris is also talking to a really nice girl named Veronica that he is actually dating now (Toby and I set him up) and so far so good. After the service which was solid, instead of going to small groups, we walked around and met people. I introduced Chris to numerous people, including people I don't even know, and a girl named meera, who is 30 years old and a girl that I'm actually interested in. Which leads me to another story.
So I met a girl named meera last Friday after work at a worship service event for people that went to Launch, which is pretty much a youth camp event. It was really cool actually.. Except the part where Toby and I got lost and wandered around "the village" apt trying to find where everyone was at. Everyone had met on the baseball fields and were gathered around a guy playing guitar, and everyone was singing. It was really peaceful. I didn't know any of the words to any of the songs, but it was still way better than going to uptown. After the service was over and we were about to leave, I met meera for the first time and 3 of her friends. She seemed attracted to me at first.. She was acting very shy around me which is always a good

Hrm
As I type this, there is some annoying 50 year old lady with a lisp behind me talking about how drunk she got over the weekend and how much all these young guys were hitting on her. Md annoying. Anyway, my weekend went by pretty quick again, and here I am at lunch on Monday. Today flew by pretty quick as well. I'm stumped with the 3 loans I'm still continuing to work on from Friday and I hope I get them done ASAP. Today is also presidents day, so the streets and the cubicles at my work are deserted. I was wondering how I got to work so early.
Over the weekend I really just chilled out. I watched BEAN with my sister, and I went out Friday and Saturday to the bar in downtown fort worth with kolby. Apparently we are cool again. Some of his old friends from high school apparently rented out a hotel in downtown fort worth for the weekend and they were all going downtown to celebrate. I wasn't really in the mood on Friday because I was mad tired and drained from work already. In fact, right after work, I left and went straight over to hulen mall area to eat with my parents, sister, and Bryan. I guess straight is kind of an understatement. More like diagonal. Or zig zag. My dad gave me awful directions so I ended up getting lost and somehow wound up in kennedale area all the way over by Arlington on the 20. My gps on my phone led me to a dark alleyway that I was sure I would probably get robbed in if I stayed longer than a moment to catch my bearings. I finally managed to find where I was and managed to find the place after another long 30 min of driving.
It was nice to catch up with Bryan. He is only in town for this week, so hopefully we can hang out. After dinner, I went back home with the family and watched part of bean with Stacey. That's when kolby started blowing up my phone,.... Well, he was blowing it up most of the day but moreso now about the hotel party shindig. I was still debating if I wanted to go or not, chris was at some wedding thing and Shadi had Spanish homework he had to study. Anyway, I ended up going and met all of them at library. Kolby had previously texted me and told me it was him and another guy and 11 girls. He wasn't lying.
From the looks of it, when I walked over to their group next to the pool table, dressed sharp with my blazer and 5 o'clock shadow, I went straight up to kolby and shook his hand. I def. Gt a head turn from a majority of the group, which is always a good sign, and I saw some playful giggling between a few of them amongst each other which basically signifies to me, the were down. Kolby was playing pool so rather tha stand there awkwardly, I went and got myself a drink. I wanted something new and improved this time, something crazy with a touch of silly. The first drink that came to find was a vodka tonic.

New and improved
It's been awhile since I have updated this thing and I have already broken my promise about updating this thing on a daily basis... I'll try and catch up right now on what's been going on lately.
2/16 today. Today has blown by pretty quickly at work. I actually got more sleep than usual (like 15 minutes more) and I'm not tired at work. I was so involved in working the loan from yesterday that I didn't take a break until 12. I'm slowly starting to get how to navigate thru all the systems to get the answers I need. I also see why these loans can take super long too and get really intensely complicated. Luckily, I finished all the loans I had and the one I have been working on all morning I sent to SLR to review. That SLR is shaiza, who I feel as though I'm starting to wear my welcome with because I'm constantly asking questions. I don't think she takes into account that I have no underwriting experience and just assumes I know everything, Including all the underwriter terms and lingo. Oh well, I don't care what she thinks, I'm still going to ask a million questions when I get back from lunch.
2/15 the highlight today was that I got to go the mavs game and watch them play the nuggets. I got a text from my BFF Maria who told me she couldn't make it to the game tonight but Sam, Shadi, moo rehouse, and kaley all can still go. I still felt deep down that moorehouse(we call her frosted flake for a reason) and kaley aka (BAIL-ey) were going to flake in the end, but they actually ended up pulling through. I was seriously impressed. Sam had to back out for ritual stuff with Pi kapp, and shad was going to show up late because his sister has school today so he has to fill in for her. Either way, it was going to be a good time.
I made the mistake of wearing a cardigan today with pants and a button up. Yeah I looked stylish, but I forgot that for whatever reason they turn the heat up after lunchtime. I really don't know why. After my lunch, I literally had a mini-panic attack because I was about to overheat... Maybe I need more coolant or something. Lol. I couldn't leave and take a break at that time either because I was just on break... So yeah I was in a bad spot. I couldn't even proceed with loans because it was so hot. I just stared blankly at the computer screen. I tried the infamous breath out of your mouth and blow the exhaled breath up to cool my face, but that only works so well. Needless to say, I managed to survive somehow.
After the game, I headed to the nearest walmart or target (I got lost during lunch trying to find one that was supposedly located only 10 minutes away from work because my gps kept re-calculating) and because of that, I was later than expected. Kaley and moorehouse were already at ginger mans when I got there finally. They were sitting on the "patio" which most people would consider the back, but in real terms they were sitting right out front and didn't even alert me where they were when I walked past them. What great friends.
After that, we headed to stub hub building to pick up the tickets. We ended up getting lost on the way back because we took the wrong elevator and ended up walking around in circles. It was pretty funny.
When we finally made it to the game, my phone was on the verge of dying so I gave shads number to moorehouse. Shad was supposed to call moorehouse whenever he had arrived. For whatever reason, moorehouses phone deleted his number randomly and my phone was too dead to start so we just had to wait in hopes he would contact us and that her phone would work (she was having tech issues all the time with it). Luckily, he called and we all met up.
The overall game was fun.. We blew them out by like 20 or 30, but we had some highlights all the way including some drunk guy screaming obscenities behind us even though the mavs were up big. Calm down, buddy. What's funny is the chick he brought was hot. Whatever she saw in him, nobody knows. Near the end of the game we moved down a few rows and were standing up and ANOTHER guy was yelling at us to sit down. People take this game way too seriously I guess. After the game was over we all headed back home.
I have to mention a few things thou first... One, chris bates was absolutely blowing up my phone because he wanted to go to the celtics game on Monday. I was at work though, so my free time was limited to being able to answer him and my phone died after work was over. Ka,ey ended up texting him and telling him about the mavs game we were at and he ended up flipping out on me on the phone. Luckily, I put myself kaley(who called to try and warn me that chris was nuts) shad and chris on the line. Let hilarity ensue. See chris has to work and usually can never request off from work, so I really doubted he would've been able to make the game... But according to him I should've still asked him anyway because, "I can get off whenever I want too."

Coolas
Today was another long day. I swear, they always forget to turn the AC on after 2 when I get back from my lunch. Today at least, I got to finally log into and start up my computer.... Kinda. I got past the first screen and got my A number (just like at fidelity) but I'm missing an AU number or some crap so I still can't log into the computer totally yet. Ad because of this, this meant another long day of shadowing Charles and watching him do loans.
For the second day in a row, Quincy and I sat with Charles and watched him do loans. Charles is a pretty cool cat, real laid back, real helpful, and always down to chill. The whole time I thought he was a Christian but he is actually a jahova's witness... Pretty crazy, and pretty sad at the same time because he isn't really a Christian. The day went by pretty slow again as usual. I took my usual designated breaks to go check my phone and I found out from Charles that some Mexican chick 2 cubicles down thinks I'm hot... But like I said in my earlier posts, there is virtually no hot girls on the floor. Besides my manager, and a MILF 2 cubicles down. Both are married/boyfriended though. I still don't know half the people on my team, and apparently, Friday is jersey day so I might officially be breaking out my Paul pierce shirt that bates got me for Christmas. Ohh yess. The super bowl is this Sunday so I got to find a super bowl, party to be attending for sure.
I went out to lunch with charles (Quincy was going to come but he only had a 30 minute lunch). He ended up driving and we went to chick filet. He kept going on and on to both Quincy and me about how much I look like the twilght guy and that I could probably get any girl I wanted. I guess what he is trying to say, is that I got that twilight swag. Lol. I told him the stories about both Shadi getting that girl and about the kolby situation. He thought kolby was being immature about it and that he thought it would blow over in the end. He also mentioned something to me about wanting to start his own company when he gets the funds, similar to a snow cone shop but with better ice. He also told me he hates water... Lol. So random.
At about 430 I asked Lindsey if she had any work for me and she didn't so I just chilled and texted on my phone. I'm pretty sure I'm going to start a 9-6 shift because that should be easy once I get my own pad.
In other news, Kara actually responded to my message on her wall (I put that it was nice meeting her) and said she enjoyed meeting me too and that we need to get together and talk about the test thing she is studying for and also asked where I lived. This all sounds good and dandy, just for the fact that my friend kolby likes her even though she friend zoned him and I'm kind of stuck now on what to do, moreso now than before because kolby is pissed at me for supposedly "going after her." Ill explain more about this later when I get a minute.
I worked shoulders out at the gym and we had a mini-scare because stacey's little, Victoria, was missing and her dad filed a police report. Apparently the police called Stacey asking where she was... That's random. Her car had been at the tri delt house since 3pm. Apparently what had happened, was that Victoria had lied to her parents and told them she was hanging out with Stacey but I guess a family member has asked Stacey where she was and Stacey said she hadn't talked to her all day. Lol wow.

1/30 today is my first day of work. I have to be awake at 6 am in the freaking morning just to make sure I make it there by 8am. I have no idea how bad traffic is going to be, I just know bedford is at least alot closer than driving to dallas every morning like I was with my WFG job in uptown. I dress in my nicest clothes, I decide to rock out the graphite gray pants and a blue shirt with a black sweater pullover. I really don't know what to expect, I just know I hate waking up when it is still dark outside. Luckily, for me, I took some iChill and passed the crap out around midnight. When I hit traffic on the way there, I have a mini-panic attack (I cannot be late for the first day of work!) but I still manage to make it on time for work (5 minutes early!). I get lost in the wells fargo building, trying to find the training facility that I am supposed to be in. Apparently, wells fargo has 2. So I walked around until someone told me that the training facility was in another area and that person showed me where it was. When I walked into the classroom, I noticed only 4 other people there... 3 of which were black. Now I'm not racist or anything, it was just kind of amazing because I was literally a minority there. And I'm not talking just that room... I'm talking all across the floor. Everyone is black. Just unexpected. There is also no hot girls there on the floor and apparently everyone there (including my team) has underwriting experience of some kind. This might be tough.
Apparently, I also came unprepared. But again, that isn't my fault either because I wasn't put in a position to be prepared. Everyone was apparently under the impression they had to bring their SSN. Well I never got that memo and thought I left it at home (it was in the car the whole time). Also, apparently they didn't even have my offer letter for how much I made an hour and a yearly salary. Wow wells fargo, you guys need to get on the ball asap. So the first 3 hours of my shift, I basically sat in the training facility and texted people. Literally. They had us sit in there while they tried to get all the paperwork input in correctly. THis took literally forever. Which was cool i guess, just boring. Finally, around 11, after paperwork was filled (I barely filled out anything because I didn't have my ssn) they had us walk out and sit with a girl for an hour or two and kind of spectate what a underwriter does.
I sat with an underwriter named cathy (i think?). I could immediately tell by looking at the awards on her wall that she was a hardcore goodie-two shoes.. Than I got to thinking, there is one or two of those people in literally every company I have ever worked for. She was hardcore wells fargo... Literally by the book about everything.. I mean it's cool if you get your shit done, but she was kind of smug about it, like, "hey i deserve recognition because I do everything.." kind of person. Kind of rubbed me the wrong way. She was very knowledgeable on what she was doing though. I was completely lost almost the entire time as she navigated through the DOS screens that looked like FBSI from Fidelity. I have another teammate on my team (I'm pretty sure is gay because he has a high voice, among other things) who I also thought was an overachiever until he got caught texting blatantly by one of the workers there. Hahah.
The day flew by pretty quick. I went to a 1 hr lunch at schlotskies, than when I got back we had a huge meeting with everyone on the floor. Yeah, there are no hot girls. I checked. Literally. Every nook and cranny. And. There. Is. NOTHING. But whatever I guess. We all went around the room and everyone introduced themselves and gave the name of a food that best represents them. I got up and told everyone that I love long walks on the beach. Everyone started laughing. I told everyone that if I was a food, I'd be mac and cheese, because I go good with everything... Everyone cracked up again. I'm good.. I know.
After I said that, the girl next to me half hugged me and said I have swag... too bad she was 9 times my size.
Oh yeah, some black girl in my class told me I have "that edward cullen twilight swag." That's a first, lol.
Swaggerific. Also I need to mention that my manager is flipping super hot. And she's my age. A little blondie with a nice body. Nuff said.
The rest of the day they sat me and the "gay guy" with some other underwriter person for the rest of the day.
The place is pretty cool. There is no schedule efficiency measured at all, and I got to go to the bathroom whenever i wanted too. I also got to go to lunch really whenever I wanted too too. Pretty sweet. Near the end of the day I had a meeting with my manager about "code of ethics". Nothing too excited here to mention. I think that sums up about everything I can remember from work today, if there is anything else I'll be sure to go mention it later.
After work, I went and worked out back around 9ish. This is pretty early for me but still pretty late in the evening. Yeah, the gym was still crowded to maximum capacity. There were like 20 people waiting to play a game. I worked out back hard and ended up jetting.
LASTLY, BEFORE I FORGET, SHADI HAS A HOT GIRL.. I'll explain later.. I'm tired. night

Finally, around 11, after paperwork was filled (I barely filled out anything because I didn't have my ssn) they had us walk out and sit with a girl for an hour or two and kind of spectate what a underwriter does.
I sat with an underwriter named cathy (i think?). I could immediately tell by looking at the awards on her wall that she was a hardcore goodie-two shoes.. Than I got to thinking, there is one or two of those people in literally every company I have ever worked for. She was hardcore wells fargo... Literally by the book about everything.. I mean it's cool if you get your shit done, but she was kind of smug about it, like, "hey i deserve recognition because I do everything.." kind of person. Kind of rubbed me the wrong way. She was very knowledgeable on what she was doing though. I was completely lost almost the entire time as she navigated through the DOS screens that looked like FBSI from Fidelity. I have another teammate on my team (I'm pretty sure is gay because he has a high voice, among other things) who I also thought was an overachiever until he got caught texting blatantly by one of the workers there. Hahah.
The day flew by pretty quick. I went to a 1 hr lunch at schlotskies, than when I got back we had a huge meeting with everyone on the floor. Yeah, there are no hot girls. I checked. Literally. Every nook and cranny. And. There. Is. NOTHING. But whatever I guess. We all went around the room and everyone introduced themselves and gave the name of a food that best represents them. I got up and told everyone that I love long walks on the beach. Everyone started laughing. I told everyone that if I was a food, I'd be mac and cheese, because I go good with everything... Everyone cracked up again. I'm good.. I know.
After I said that, the girl next to me half hugged me and said I have swag... too bad she was 9 times my size.
Oh yeah, some black girl in my class told me I have "that edward cullen twilight swag." That's a first, lol.
Swaggerific. Also I need to mention that my manager is flipping super hot. And she's my age. A little blondie with a nice body. Nuff said.
The rest of the day they sat me and the "gay guy" with some other underwriter person for the rest of the day.
The place is pretty cool. There is no schedule efficiency measured at all, and I got to go to the bathroom whenever i wanted too. I also got to go to lunch really whenever I wanted too too. Pretty sweet. Near the end of the day I had a meeting with my manager about "code of ethics". Nothing too excited here to mention. I think that sums up about everything I can remember from work today, if there is anything else I'll be sure to go mention it later.
After work, I went and worked out back around 9ish. This is pretty early for me but still pretty late in the evening. Yeah, the gym was still crowded to maximum capacity. There were like 20 people waiting to play a game. I worked out back hard and ended up jetting.
LASTLY, BEFORE I FORGET, SHADI HAS A HOT GIRL.. I'll explain later.. I'm tired. night

today today today
1/29 Today was my last day before work tomorrow. In fact, I have to wake up really early tomorrow so I'm going to make this short and sweet. I had freaking defensive driving all day today. it was like 6 hours long.. from 1-7. I took it at the same place I always take it at, and got another NEW instructor instead of the last one. There was 4 flipping people in my class. Seriously. 2 old guys and a 16 year old girl that sat on the same row I did. I almost fell asleep like 4 times during the movies part of it. The defensive driving itself wasn't too bad.. Just really long and boring. The instructor was going hardcore by the book, so we actually had to be there the full 6 hours. We only had 1 15 minute break and a 30 minute dinner break. I ended up talking to the 16 year old girl (not like that) most of the time in class, she was in class because she wrecked her car because she rear ended someone. Sucks for her. She is only 16 (turned 16 in august) and already has a wreck on her record. Anyway, her name was leigh ann posey, her mom was actually a middle school teacher at Aledo! Imagine that.
She ended up rolling out with me to chipotle to grab some grub. She seems like a really nice girl.. She apparently drinks and parties alot too (She's really into nirvana and grundge). We ended up coming back late because our lunch break wasn't long enough. After some more boring videos, we took the drivers safety test and I ended up making a 95.. (I missed the Rural accident question again like I do every year). I waved goodbye to both leigh ann and the instructor.. See you next year mr. instructor. lol.
After I defensive driving was over, I headed over to the grocery store and got some shopping done for tomorrow... I gotta wake up early tomorrow so BBL

updates oh my
1/21 So for the first time in a long while, I ended up not going out tonight... Sarah really wanted me to go out with her and meet up with her friends but I didn't have a wingman. Kolby, who was down to go originally, had called me but I had left my phone at home (which like, never happens) when I went to go work out so by the time I called him back it was too late.. He already had made plans. I ended up chilling at home, watching sweet home alabama on CMT, and just relaxing. The whole time, gina was blowing up my phone, asking to come over and spend the night. Seriously girl, I don't roll like that. I don't want an easy one night stand, and you leave in literally 2 weeks so I really don't want a hump and dump from you, I'm sorry. but yeah, she was texting me and calling me like nuts, I never answered any of them. Call it what it is, but yeah I don't roll like that.
1/22 Today I took ole meeks to the dog park. It was a beautiful day outside, and I knew I had to get my meeks out and about (and check out the wonderful women of tcu at the same time, lol.) Of course, when I got there, the place was PACKED. There was a ton of pretty women there, and I made a bee-line for the first "triad" of girls that were nearest the gate when I walked meeka and I in. I forgot all their names already, (one's name was cathy) but one of them was actually president of tri delta at TCU!!! Want to know why this is so good?!?!?! Because of ALLL the possible networking capababilities. I mean, not only was this chick really funny and cool, but she is prez. Which means whenever they have a party, or a social event or something, I might find a possible route to go (thru them of course) and meet even more girls. This was seriously the link I needed. Apparently all 3 live together (the other 2 were kappa kappa gammas). One of the 3, a blondie, was super hot.. But also super taken, unfortunately. So I did most of the talking to the blonde girl and the prez.. I let them know that I had just recently moved to the area, and I didn't know where anything was (this helps put me in a good spot because it will look to them like I am just networking, which is totally what I am doing.). halfway through talking ot them, I knew I needed to get their numbers, especially the tri delt prez. So I went in froom networking perspective and said, "hey, next time you guys are out you should totally hit me up.. I literally know like 10 people here." And boom goes the dynamite. I got the 3rd non-taken roommate's number, and the tri delt prez's number. Like I said, above all else, they were actually cool to talk too and hang out with. I can totally see why the prez became the prez.. She is really funny and has a really outgoing personality.. So we shall see where this takes us! UP IS THE ONLY DIRECTION WOOT!
