my own little place to be free…

Well, one thing has happened over the past few days that hasn’t taken place in quite some time… I’m writing again. Mind you, it’s crap - definitely nothing decent, but that’s not the point. The point to me is that something is actually being written.

With the way school and work have been dominating my life lately, I’ve actually been feeling like I’m left with no time to do anything creative and I’ve actually been starting to worry if I’m just losing my creativity altogether.

Of course, that sounds like complete nonsense, right? But I haven’t put a pen to paper, or fingers to a keyboard to do any actual writing in soooooooo long. And don’t even get me started on poetry.

I can’t even remember the last time I was able to come up with anything in the form of a poem. Of course, that’s partially because of my lack of a love life. With no one to love in my life, my poetic side has nothing to write about. And it’s not like I have time for a relationship right now anyways.

Although, I may soon have a lot more free time on my hands if I don’t start finding the enthusiasm to keep myself motivated in school. Thankfully I only have four days of classes left until March break, and I plan to spend the entire break doing A LOT of thinking.

Wish me luck!

So, life seems to be going my way in a good way for once. As of yesterday, I have now taken on a second job, working part-time at a local radio station. I am a HUGE fan of 101.9 The GIANT, so the fact that I’m being given the opportunity to work for them part-time is just amazing.

I’m currently in school taking a radio/television broadcasting course, so working in radio is definitely something exciting for me and I’m hoping that once I finish school in June this job can lead to something more permanent. But we’ll see what happens.

In other news, I feel very proud to be Canadian at the moment. Canada’s men’s hockey team defeated Russia tonight 7-3, earning them a spot on the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games semi-finals! GOOO CANADA!

And that’s my update for today.

P.S. I PROMISE to start writing more soon!!!!!

=)

Well, I’m here today with some good news. After much consideration, I’ve decided that jkchase(dot)net is going to be staying open!

There are going to be some changes going on at some point in the near future - I want this website to be more than just a blog, but for what, I don’t know yet. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

But for those of you who want to come along for the ride and see, then I thank you for being here.

Cheers!

Welcome to 2010! Sorry I’m a little late on the “Happy New Year”. I’m also equally sorry that I never made it in time for the “Happy Christmas” too! Hard to believe that I’ve been off school for two weeks, but yet still never found any time to post anything. The reason? Work mostly, but I’ve also been trying to enjoy the holidays as much as I can before I have to go back to school on Monday.

Today is January 2nd, 2010. It’s 5:43 am. We are officially into our second day of the new century, and I’m already hoping this century (hell, even this year) will be better than the last. I’m 20-years-old, and I think I finally have some basic concept of where my life is heading.

So, to start 2010 off with a BANG, here’s my list (so far) of New Year’s Resolutions (most of which probably won’t happen!):

• lose weight (this is on the list every year, but this is the year I’m determined to make it happen)
• move out, and experience more of life (this is happening within the next month or so!!!)
• find a job that I can hopefully someday call career (that is not at a fast food joint or call centre)
• finally find true love (this is always ongoing, but hey, a guy can dream)

That’s pretty much what I’ve got so far. Wait… WHOOPS! I forgot one!

• either find a better use for having a website, or start posting on it more as it is!

This is one that definitely has to start happening. I mean, what’s the point to me even having a website if I’m only going to use it once or twice a month. It’s not like I care whether or not people read anything I write here. The point behind this website is for me to express myself, but why should I have it if I never do that? So part of my 2010 Resolutions is to start using jkchase(dot)net more!

Now, onto some real-life stuff…

Over the course of the last three weeks, I’ve told someone how I’ve felt about them, got over it pretty quickly when they didn’t feel the same (it happens to me so much that my feelings never linger anymore…), and I even decided to give up on love. Well, this person decided that my decision to give up on love was all about making them feel guilty. A huge argument then followed, and I haven’t spoken to her since December 23rd. Honestly, I’m not even all that worried about it. I just don’t really care anymore. And that’s all I really have to say on that matter. Like I said, my feelings don’t tend to linger for that long anymore.

Not too much else has happened, really. There was some work drama that resulted in my managing privileges of running shifts being taken away, but that’s only less stress off my mind really. It doesn’t bother me much.

My biggest piss-off right now is with my credit card company, who have an option to change my address online that doesn’t work, and when you message customer service online, they don’t message back - not even a week later! So I might be calling them at the first of the week to give them a piece of my mind!

Hmm. That’s pretty much all that’s been happening. Oh, I love Lights! If you’ve never listened to her before, do so now please! Cheers!

Well, it looks like I definitely have a difficult choice to make between now and the end of January. Do I want to keep this website going, or should I call it quits?

Don’t get me wrong, I love having my own site, a place where I can vent and say whatever I want, but I hardly ever update anymore. I’m always too busy between work and school and trying to have something of a social life that I never get the time to post.

So between now and January 31st, I must decide if jkchase(dot)net lives, or dies…
