Seriously!!

Hey y'all. Sorry it has been so long since I posted anything. I've been super busy with this new job. Seriously, not exaggerating! I don't know how anyone can be expected to be on their feet for so long. Just to give you an idea, here is my schedule for the following week: Monday 11-9, Tuesday 11-11, Wednesday 11-9, Friday 11-11, Saturday 11-8, Sunday 12-9!!! WTF!!! I will defiantly be begging someone to hire me, on my only day off. I had planned on working a lot, while in MI, to save money for my adventure, but this is outrageous and the money is not outweighing what I am giving up.

I know many of you didn't know this, but I had a lot more planned, for my visit to MI, besides just making money and visiting family. One goal, as cliche as it sounds, was to reconnect with myself. I put so much emphasis the last few (OK 6) months on having a good time, that I lost sight of my desire, to become a Yoga instructor. As much as I tried, it was impossible for me to live a healthy lifestyle and still go out partying all the time. The idea was to step away from that environment, and yes the peer pressure from Jacob to take shots til 4am. Ha Ha Love you bro! The next year and a half, I will be practicing Yoga every morning, eating right, getting more connected with my spirituality... you know, all the typical stuff we say we are going to do. Of course, I am realistic and understand that there are exceptions to any rule. I have had the occasional drink, just not as much or often.

So, this brings me to my dilemma. Working at this F***ing place with these F***ing Caddy B***hes is torture! Seriously! I forgot how miserable people in MI are. They work too hard for too little money and don't seem to care about anything. I refuse to be sucked into this negativity, which is why I have been forced to have an after work drink, at the local bars. 

Ha Ha Oh my goodness, there is a bar, up the road from my grandparents called Hitch and Post where I purchased a 32oz Killians, which aside from Labatt, was the most exotic beer they carried, a Jameson, which they had the nerve to ask if I wanted chilled, for $8.25. Crazy! Oh and they had free pool, which come to find out, the only reason it's free is because someone smashed he glass on the side of the table. Oh and one night I went to the local hot spot, better known as Applebees, and had old man river on my right trying to get me to dance with him to the melody of our fellow patrons singing Karokee, and a freshly 21 year old on my left thinking he has game. Wow! And to think I didn't come back sooner.

Seriously though, I have been taking care of myself and not going out all the time. I am focused and excited to discover what will happen next, in my life. Though this has not been easy by any means, I feel something great is in store.

But before I go I need to clear up a few things. 1. Starr is my middle name. I didn't feel comfortable with putting my last name online, but funny how comfortable I'm becoming with blogging my personal thoughts. Ha 2. If you know anyone that gave me an email and didn't receive one from me, I am very sorry. However, the 150 emails that were written in my  notebook were hard to read, probably because half of them were written by slightly less than sober people. I read and typed what I could, but the computer said a lot of the emails were invalid. So if you know anyone who didn't receive an email please forward it to them. 3. As angry as I think people are in MI, I still have hope for them afterall. While driving, I saw a mural, of a scenic view, painted on the side, of a hardware store. It said "Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is going through some kind of battle."
