Life Unemployed: The Best Birthday Present Ever! (The final EU post)

If I learned anything about being unemployed for a long time, it's learning to appreciate the things I had and learning about the things I took advantage of while employed.

If I learned anything about being unemployed for a long time, it's appreciating what I have and not wasting every waking money being lazy, criticizing others who are unemployed while I sit in denial the first few months of unemployment.

I learned to appreciate new found survival skills of living on a very limited budget, planning bills and groceries ahead of time.

I learned to constantly motivate myself to keep searching for a job, even the jobs I said I would never in a million years find myself doing by swallowing my pride.

I learned to be humble with what I possess rather than envy someone for their possessions.

I learned never to take help when needed as there are mountains I can't even climb by myself.

But above all, keep fighting and help others fight as well.

And even if I find employment somewhere ... anywhere ... that I will never lose site of where I've been even if I don't myself know where I'm going.

Why am I saying all these things? Because I just received the best birthday present ever after 1 whole year of being unemployed. A new lease on an employed life. On my birthday and want to thank my readers for their opinions, posts and words of encouragement. Thank you!

For those who thought I faded into the darkness.


I'm still here and still struggling to find a job regardless of what it is. I'm not being picky ... I'm just not settling for jobs that pay less than $9 an hour. I do have an appointment for a summer job interview and at this point as long as I have a job that should count for something right?

But I'm still in high spirits and nothing is going to bring me down ... now that the taxes have been paid with help from my mom. Big thanks goes out to mom, who I must find a way to pay back soon.

I may have been quiet for awhile but I'm not gone. But look on the bright side. At least I made it back to the US before that volcano exploded, right? Although I would have loved staying there just to photograph it. But things happen for a reason I guess and it always seems like I miss the opportunity for greater photos. Oh well.

Goofing around with random game makers

Ok. Out of curiosity and boredom I ran across several game makers online and decided to play around with them. I'm going to post them at random here. Just let me know what you think.
