Well hello out there again,tonight I want to give my thoughts on jobs and careers.Well for those of you who don't know I have been around the food and beverage indusrty on and off for the past 13 years,and restaraunt industry for the past 6 years.Well now if you ask how did I make the choice to get it into the restaraunt industry,the answer is quite simple,it was in the blood.Now I am quite mad,in fact madder than a rainedon rooster that I never got to know my grandpa.He was a Master Chef,and owned quite a few different restaraunts in his day.Well now back to me here,well I turned 16,and had to get a job,so guess what Taco Bell was hiring,so I went to work for Taco Bell,where I stayed for about 8 months,at which time I went on to a different fast food joint.Then after 2 years of fast food,I started as a prep cook,then it took off from there.However I did go into the pure hell world of retail.Well from there I went back to restaraunts,but this time I was in the front of the house,and now after 6 years and a handful of restaraunts later,I have done just about everything.Now people hear I am a cook,and some people bless them say oh your a chef.Well yeah I guess so,but dude we are all cooks at the end of the day.I admit freely I have a complete love/hate relationship with this business.Yeah the days can be endless,the hours long,and the pay well it sucks.But I just absolutely love it,my heart is in the food,I have a passion for food.

Greetings fellow bloggers.Well I have been thinking,and for those of you who know me,know that me actually thinking is quite scary.Well it was about a week ago I got this thing in the mail,and guess what it was,well since yall don't go checking my mail,I will tell you.It was from the Publishers Clearing House,saying I was in the running for the 10million dollar grand prize.Well what are the chances of little of Mikey from California winning the grand prize of 10million dollars,well to be honest I would say extremely slim.Well I tell you what,if I win then great,I know somethings I would to do,and some places I would love to visit.But on the realistic side of things if I don't then guess what I am out a total of 37cents,and a 2 mintue walk to and from the mailbox,oh yeah and the exorcise I got from that walk.Would I quit my job,I would like to say no,but you never know for sure what you would do.I know for sure there are a few people I would help out in a second.Well until I get the money,I will keep working,and loving my job,or well my career,which is going to be talked about on my next post.

Hello out there in blogging land.Well this might be a strange post for me here,but hey what the hey right.Well this has to deal with a girl I was very much in love with,well let me start with saying we did work together but in different depts at the store.We were both working in JCPenny's,and I was downstairs in the shoe dept,yes I was Al Bundy,and she was upstairs in the home dept,and we just started talking 1 day,then we exchanged phone numbers,and became quick friends.Then we started talking everyday,and taking our breaks together,and then we were basically dating at this point.The thing is we dated just over 2 years,but at the same time we both agreed we could date other people,while still dating each other,but we never really did see other people,but this one guy kept bugging her to go out,and well they did,the thing is they ended up getting married,and we lost touch for quite a while.Then after just under 2 years of not seeing each other,and her being married,we ran into each other,and it was like a day had not passed since we had talked last,well the best way to describe it was if you have seen the movie Cocktail,when the 2 guys see each other in Jamaica,thats what it was like with Mary.We talked for a bit,and she told me was completely miserable being married,and she made the wrong choice,she said she wished she would have chosen me,I then told her I am still very much in love with her.She then told me to come by her apt,and maybe we could start off where we left off.Well I have not been by to see her.Am I just dumb,or what.Well ever since Mary I have not had a decent relationship,is it because I am still in love with her,I don't know.I would love to hear some feedback on this.

Ok folks here we go,now I admmit I am going to be a bit irritated now.It is on yahoo,there is an Army officer who is refusing orders to go to Iraq,well guess what folks for those of you who had the stones to serve this beloved country good for you,and for those of you sissyfied mama boys,and girls to bad for you,you will never know how great it feels to put on that glorious uniform.Now we all know the whatever you shall call the thing in Iraq,agree with it,then shame on you,but dammit people this guy took an oath,you follow orders like it or not.You know when you sign up,well actually the saying goes sign the dotted line,your ass is mine,you realize you may go somewhere you don't want to go,dude man up and go to Iraq,or get lost.I took the oath,and to my dismay never made it outside this country,but I have lost a good friend over there.Anyone who has feedback I would love to hear it.

Greetings everyone.Well I thought I would let everyone know I am still alive and kickin,well today I am a bit under the weather,but doing great.Well folks I have actually done it,I have done an application to a junior college,and Monday morning I have an appt to goand see a school counselor,dude Iam stoked.Yep I have thought about it,and well yes it will be hard to do,I firgured I graduated High School 11 years ago,and then my next step was Culinary Arts school,which I graduated from 2 years ago.Now its time to start on my B.S. degree.So yep those are my future plans.Well if anyone has advice on how to actually do good going back to school,let me know.
Mikey.
