Report Blog Entry
Back in May/June my relationship with my ex-fiancé came to a rather abrupt end. As I was not on the lease to our apartment I was served paperwork to vacate within three days and had to figure out what to do. I grabbed a motel down south near Seattle and started trying to put together the pieces. I was receiving unemployment due to Covid and my jobs up in Bellingham not having brought me back yet - but I couldn't wait anymore. I stayed in a super sketchy crack den type motel for about a month until I found my current studio apartment in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle.
As short and sweet as I tried to keep that first paragraph. It was a dark time for me. I had 17 months clean that I torched like it was nothing in the motel room. I don't want to make excuses for myself, but the loneliness I felt paired with the fact that my life and my plans for my future had all been eviscerated. I just saw no reason to continue working a program.
So I had this apartment in Seattle that I could afford with my unemployment checks leaving me with no extra money at all. So Tallboy and I started panhandling everyday with copies of my resume on me and doing what we had to do to get by. I always panhandled in front of a much beloved local fast food place in Seattle's Broadway location because it was a 2 minute walk from my new studio.
Well, funny how things work - I ended up finding a job in Seattle, a block and a half from my house actually. It was doing security outside of a MUCH BELOVED SEATTLE FAST FOOD STAPLE I HAD BEEN PANHANDLING IN FRONT OF!. (If you know, you fucking know lol) I had made such a good impression on one of the security guards he got me hired! I didn't actually work FOR THE RESTURANT however, the security guards were part of our own company that had a contract with them to do security. It was awesome for the first few months. Best money I'd ever made at a job. Well, our owner decided to get out of the company and promoted one of the managers to his position. This dude is a fucking asshole, thru and thru. He ended up firing me for not wanting to cover a shift on my day off because it would of been the second day in a row I had done that. He told one of the managers of the resturant however, not aware that her and I are fucking friends. That he fired me "because I look like a bum/have face tattoos." on top of that he hasn't sent me my last check. I've contacted L&I and a workplace discrimination lawyer.
I've gotten a new job at a Japanese Noodle spot in my neighborhood and I found a new security gig to work at night although I lost the sheet of paper from my orientation in my room somewhere and really need to find it. All in all, a lot of things are really complicated right now, but over all I feel comfortable with where I'm at.
IN TERMS OF STREAMING / CONTENT CREATION
I wasn't able to play video games or use the internet at all there for a while but I'm back - only issue is the internet that comes with the place is too dogwater to stream with. As soon as I can afford it I'll be grabbing faster home internet and I'll be back on twitch as full time as I can. I added spacehey to pop up whenever I open Chrome. I want to be a lot more active on here.
IF YOU LIVE IN THE SEATTLE AREA AND YOU WANT TO PLAY HARDCORE MUSIC.
IF YOU PLAY CSGO, VALORANT OR WORLD OF WARCRAFT AND WANT TO PLAY TOGETHER HIT ME UP.
I'll leave you all with this new record by The Chisel from The UK. For sure deserves to be in the AOTY conversation.
