Life Revitalized

Well its been five years since my last posting, and a lot has changed haha. For one thing, I dont have my truck anymore. I have a beautiful blue Honda that desperately needs a wash. Another thing, I've realized how much I love Florida. After leaving Lion Country Safari (it finally happened!) I took internships all over the country, most with sea turtles and several with plants,
and my path led me right back to Florida. Sort of. I finally got my first gig as a member of the National Park Service (which I left Lion Country to persue), the only thing is its in Utah. But its temporary, and in six months I plan on taking my skills back in Florida. Utah and the entire American southwest is absolutely gorgeous, and I am fortunate to have the opportunity to work in sixteen national parks and monuments as a member of the Northern Colorado Plateau Network. Im learning every single plant in the region, and should be an expert botanist by the time I leave!

Friday on a Sunday

so today i had to help feed the alligators at work and it scared the shit out of me, like it always does, kuz at any moment one of those things kould prolly kill me. it was my first day working alone in the petting zoo, and there is so much fucking work to do that it feels like my brain is doing summersaults inside my head.. im so tired now. today is technically sunday but for me its friday kuz i have tomorrow and tuesday off.. i have an interview for another job thats gonna take up like half the day tomorrow so that sux.. i have no idea what to with myself. i kant stand foreigners, especially ones that dont speak english. there is a giraffe feeding platform at the zoo, and i have to relieve the woman there when she goes to lunch.. the giraffes dont like to be pet, only fed, but nevertheless people love to touch them even though you tell them not too.. like this one woman today with the hugest eyebrows i ever seen is trying her damdest to pet the giraffes even though i keep telling her to knock it off, its like "hey brows quit touching the fucking giraffe" and then theres a million foregners all over the place and they have no idea what im saying nevermind the fact that they kant kontrol their kids and some of them put em right up on the railing to see the giraffe even though the giraffe kould knock em right off the platform if they wanted to.. im actually hoping it happens sometime. a good thing today though is that i got to eat lunch, which is another pain in the ass kuz on the weekends theres like a million people in the restaurant, so i have to find an opening in the line and grab whatever shit may happen to be there not even knowing what it is.. im like what the fuck do i do with a garden burger and a brownie and three packets of marinara sauce but thats what i get.. my job blows. i believe they should have an open bar for all the employees, like a soda fountain machine but with alcohol. id never work though. im so tired of cleaning up shit, especially pig shit kuz it smell like death, but i guess im stuck with this job for a while. if i kould manage to find a friend or two it would make my life a hell of a lot easier. missing my ex girlfriend does not help my cause, but thats something i gotta deal with too. life is krazy

My Krazy Ass Life

Ive never done this before.. i always thought the internet was for geeks, but my life is so goddam krazy right now that i figured instead of writing all my thoughts and experiences down in a journal, why not just create a blog? my friend told me about it so i figured id give it a shot. i dont even know where to begin. i just moved down to florida at the beginning of october to kind of jump start my life, and let me tell you its been a fucking hell of a time ever since i kame down here.. i have no real idea what i want to do with my life and no idea if i want to stay here or go back to my home state of new jersey where all my friends, family, and memories are.. plus my job blows ( i work at a petting zoo) and i dunno if its for me.. but i seem to be stuck there and its like the whole "real world" thing kinda hit me all at once kuz im fucking exhausted all the time and i have the worst days off (monday and tuesday) and on top of that its dam hard to make friends so im alone every night.. between not being able to sleep at night, getting my ass kicked by fire ants and shoveling shit at work, im so tired i dont know what to do with myself.. but im trying to laugh it off and have a good time, even if its with myself for now.. so i guess im gonna treat this blog as my own personal novel, and tell my story as i live it, one krazy day at a time
