Tonight we are heading over our friends' house to have dinner and hang out for a while. December 10th isn't really a memorable date. But every year around this time of year things start to happen that give tiny moments like these a real feeling of warming. Today even, it was nearly 60 degrees at one point today and it made this brutal cold seem bearable. It's not safe to be outside during the darkest of winter. Cold brings out the worst in people, and overall it's hard to handle because it also brings out the despair in people. Merge the two together and you could be looking at a cold dark society which emerges in the spring jaded working every year to bring happiness into ones life only to suffer the cold dark winter the following year. Today i have hope though. Recently i was inspired after talking with people that care about me. The best part is... a renewed sense of hope can alter the mind in such a way... it's better than any drug or substance that you can use ...

I've been out of work for a considerable amount of time at this point. I had two temporary jobs in 2025 but neither of them really stuck as being long term. With that said, i still have to provide for my family. While this year i used quick fixes and patches to get my family through the year, I know that going into 2026 it is going to take hard work and dedication. That's why I've decided to abandon some of my smaller projects for just raking in money. I am planning to Drive for Uber from now until the foreseeable future. This will not be an easy task. But i feel that Setting a schedule to drive will be the most beneficial. Rather than waking up everyday, rolling out of bed, and hitting the road, I am going to be working from Noon to 10pm everyday. Uber allows a driver to drive for up to 12 hours within a 24 hour period. While 12 hours of driving per day is not healthy on either the body, or the car, Putting in a 60 hour work week is more respectable than giving up any day ...
