Venting Time!
5 min read
You know what really sucks? I'll tell you what; working your ass off at a company for over a year, only missing 3 days in that whole time span, giving your everything, your soul, to that company, and what do you get in return? That's right, you get bullied, mistreated, and then, to top it all off, they terminate ya! Sounds awesome right?!
No. It's really not... Long story short, I worked along side my mother making linear motors for apple's production line, among other major companies. Since I can't get my license in Maine for 6 months (bullshit permit laws) She was my ride to work. And we worked our asses off. Sometimes working 14 hour shifts! And we were the only ones doing those 14 hour shifts... We gave our all for that company (Airex Corporation in case anyone was curious) and yet the manager and CEO always were either mean to us, and/or, in most cases, never even spoke to us at all. So last Monday, my mother had to make a doctors appointment, but she couldn't do it at work, so she asked to leave for an hour and come back after she had found a doctor. Well our manager/"Boss" gave her shit, ans she couldn't take his shit anymore and she left in tears. I stayed backed and continued working, but around lunch time I saw her car back in the parking lot, but I couldn't find her anywhere. Until she walked into the cafeteria, crying, telling me, and everyone else eating their lunch, that she was just fired. (She did it because she knew the ones who fired her would tell the rest of the company that she quit, which we later found out they did.) So she was fired, My heart sunk, because that meant I had to resign as well, since I had no way to get there. No one was close enough to me to car pool with, et cetera. So they let me go too... Just goes to show how your world can crumble within the span of 5 minutes.
With that being said, losing my job means I just lost $1,700 a month... My mother made roughly around $2,000 to $2,400 a month... Yup, its not fun losing all that money.
However, it's not all bad though. First off, everyone loved us at work, and my mother made sure to let everyone know and see the true side of that company, and they certainly do too; everyone hates the manager and CEO now, and from what I heard last from a few of my friends from there, a couple more people are leaving the company now. No one's going to believe their lies anymore. Which is great for the mean side of me. I hope that company, A.K.A sweat shop, fucking tanks and goes bankrupt.
But the best thing of all, is that I'm no longer suicidal/depressed anymore, and I've actually haven't been this happy since I've moved to New England, even despite the financial loss. And on top of that, My friendship with my mother was deteriorating while we both worked there. (We would take our anger from work out on each other frequently, even when we didn't want to) But now, We've both changed and I feel that we're close again. No more anger between us makes for a wonderful change of heart.
So she's going to get another job soon. As for me? I think I'm going to take some time to enjoy some long overdue personal time, and then work on my license, GED, and some other things before looking again. The money was good, of course, but when you have an $1,800 pc, $1,500 worth of consoles, 550+ total games from any device in the house, a tablet, a personal fridge, all inside a room with an on-suite bathroom... I think I have everything I could possibly NEED for a little while.
Plus, Renamon was missing me, so now we have some more time together.
So... *sighs* That's all for now... Just felt like venting a little bit. And I'm so excited to not have to give myself to that fucking company anymore. It's worth it to me to not make all that money anymore, in exchange for my life and happiness back, to no longer feel depressed and lifeless. My mom and I are best friends again... All seems well with the world now.
And on that note, I'm out. Gonna go cuddle with my yellow Vixen!
Peace out Peeps!

Been a VERY long time, hasn't it?
2 min read
Man, I miss being on here; writing my stories, being really active with all of you guys... Sad, really.
But I am not dead. There have been a few factors to my tardiness here on DA; Mostly work and not having a computer for a while, but now I have an $1800 Gaming rig (that working a hard ass job made possible) that I built myself! So I have a working Personal Computer so I can do all my personal stuff on again, like PC gaming, among other things. So I can be a little more active on here as well!
With all that being said... Not much is new on my end...
As for my stories, since so many people still ask me, No. I will not be continuing RxB or AVL. I don't have the time to focus on writing like I'd like to anymore. Maybe when I get my own place, maybe. If I do ANY sort of writing at all... it MIGHT be a second part to Ame No Asa. But MAYBE. Don't hold me on that... <.<
Anyway, that's about it for me.
If anyone would like to add me on Steam, I'd love to play some PC games with any of my friends who have Steam too. My ID is Brydog23
Peace my peeps!
And if anyone cares, since I'm so proud of it, My pc Build:
|Corsair Obsidian 750D
|MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Motherboard
|16GB (2x8) of Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz RAM
|Intel Core i5 4670k (OC to 4.0Ghz)
|Corsair H100i Liquid Cooler
|MSI GTX 780 Gaming Graphics Card
|Rosewill Hive 750w PSU
|x5 Corsair AF120 Performance Fans
|Seagate Barracuda 3TB HDD
|Asus DVD/CD Drive
|NZXT RGB LED Lights w/ Controller
And pics!

Hello Everyone
9 min read
Man, it's been a long time since I've written a journal, hasn't it? Although, it's kind of hard to find time to do such a thing when there is so much going on in our lives. (And yes, by our lives I mean mine and Renamons' lives.)
I can't believe all that has happened to us in the past 6 months... We've uprooted our whole lives, selling ninety-five percent of everything we owned back in Arizona to start a new back where we all knew we belonged. So we loaded up our U-Haul with what we had left of our furniture and personal belongings, and we set off on what we thought would be an exciting trip back home.
But mother nature had other ideas...
It took us four days to travel the twenty-nine hundred plus miles across the country, and all four days were a living hell. We battled horrible weather conditions during the whole trip, and I mean the WHOLE trip, since the storm cell followed us all the way to the east coast. There wasn't one break where it wasn't either pouring rain or snowing on our trip. We drove around fourteen hours a day, and all of those hours were spent in fear as we rode through the constant barrage of severe weather; dealing with very poor visibility, slick roads, and mental truckers that would blow by us constantly at a higher speed, sometimes nearly knocking us off of the road. We even almost got trapped in a blizzard in Texas and had to try and out drive it so we wouldn't become stuck in the massive snow storm. That was pretty scary...
And when it came time to sleep, we had to park in large, bright truck stops. My father slept in the U-Haul while my mom, our dog Augie, and I (And Renamon) slept in our Red Focus. Well... tried to most of the time anyway...
And then we'd wake up around five in the morning and set off again to endure another day of terror. I never thought it would be such a stressful trip...
But eventually, we did end up where we wanted to be. Our trip ended when we arrived at my Aunt and Uncles house at seven-thirty at night, with at least a foot of snow blanketing the ground and more coming down on us as we all scurried to get inside. But we soon realized that our hell... had only just begun.
When we first walked in, we were greeted with a house none of us expected; a run down farm house that was totally different from what we had become accustomed too back in Arizona. We were literally freaking out when we got there; all the stress we endured during the trip finally caught up with us as our bodies reached their breaking point. Our bodies were numb and shaking violently, our skin was practically albino pale as we tried to calm ourselves down. But going through what we all went through and then seeing that, was like being slapped in the face since we all knew that this was where we would be living for the next few months while we got back on our feet.
So we went to sleep that night, and moved some of our things into two room that they had made available to us to live in. One room has our boxes of bathroom stuff, clothes, food, stuff like that, and the other room is where we all live and sleep.
We all have had to share a room together and we live out of our boxes. And we have to share ONE BATHROOM with, not only ourselves, but with my Aunt, Uncle, and my Cousin as well. Along with not being comfortable enough to use My Aunt and Uncle's fridge, so we have no cold drinks or any real food to eat most of the time. Trust me, it isn't fun at all...
After we got situated, my parents took to the internet to find jobs so we could get out as soon as we could, because we soon realized that the coming months were going to be worse than we ever imagined. But eventually, we all (yes, even me) found good jobs and are well on our way to getting the hell out of where we are now. And for good reason...
My Aunt and Uncle and my eight year old Cousin (their daughter) are the most horrible people you could ever imagine having to live with. I could go on for hours explaining how My Uncle is an asshole in every conceivable way, or how my Aunt is a raging alcoholic, or how my Cousin is the most horrid little girl with no emotions or common sense, but we can't stand any of them. Even their animals are unbelievably horrific.
There was even one point where, because I pressed the power button on my cousin's laptop to restart it because it had crashed, my Uncle lost his shit and began yelling at us to not "mess with what he had set up with the software" and other bullshit, and all I did was touch a button. Well, lets just say things blew up very quickly, since he has been a piece of shit to us the entire time we've been here. He began screaming at us and we tried to defend ourselves by screaming back at him. It almost got to the point of punches being thrown. My mother even collapsed onto the floor, almost having a heart attack because of what had just happened all because I pressed a button to help my cousin which she begged her father to do for her and he just wouldn't, so when I did it and she thanked me for it, oh boy did it piss him off. Eventually, it led to him throwing us out and threatening to call the police on us. So we had to very quickly pack up our room and get out before anything got out of hand again. The screaming was so loud that Police passing by had to stop and get everyone's information. We had to go to my Nana's house in Massachusetts to stay the night on a hard futon mattress barely big enough for two people, let alone three people and a dog. But unfortunately, we couldn't stay there since my parents had found jobs up in Maine and it would've been too far of a commute for them. So long story short, My Aunt let us back into their home since they realized we'd be living in our cars if they didn't let us come back. We didn't want to come back, but we had no other choice...
Since that whole fiasco, everyone has been on edge. we don't really wants to talk to them, or even have anything to to with the three devils.
And yet, during this hell, we found some form of happiness where we expected to; Here. We often went out to different, beautiful places around New England. I saw a beach and the Atlantic Ocean for the first time in my life, for example, was one of the happiest moments of my life. (Even if it was thirty degrees with a wind chill) We've done so many things here that we never did, or had to do, back in Arizona. The food is amazing here, the stores are beautiful, and just the extravagance of the scenery here is truly something to behold. So even with all of the horrible things we have been through, we all still found some form of cheerfulness somewhere here.
And now, we have the final piece of the puzzle we need to really start over; a home. We found a beautiful house nestled in a nice, quiet neighborhood where, within the next week or so, we will be moving into. It even has a small kind of apartment like bedroom and bathroom down in the basement where I (and Renamon) will be living, completely separate from the rest of the house! It is all very exciting for us, especially since we will be moving away from this horrible place we live now. And we will never have to see any of those horrible people ever again. Good riddance...
And that's been my life for the past six months; hell, but with some good points thrown in here and there. I just can't wait to finally be as happy as I want to be, for all of us to be as happy as I know we all should be... Life has been so hard for us so far, but it's so refreshing to see a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel. I just can't wait!
So with all that said, that is why I have been so absent from DeviantART, and why I haven't given any news on my stories. Well, I'm glad to say that there is some hope for me to start writing again once I get settled into my new life. However, I am unsure whether I will continue on the old stories or not, and start something new I've been pondering for quite some time. But I do look forward to maybe getting back into the writing scene soon!
With that said, this journal comes to an end. I will now enjoy the rest of my day off from work by cuddling with my Vixen Digimon.
Thanks for reading guys! I shall return soon!!
Here's to looking forward to the future.
