Updates are in the works but between work and school [and being a good husband] there just isn't enough time...

..Trying to get back on track though!

Opportunity

Before I headed to work I stopped by the barbershop to get cleaned up for the weekend. While I was waiting for Mike [my barber] to show up I met this dude JC. He asked me if I could spare a few dollars because he was hungry. He proceeds to tell me that he had just gotten out of prison and that he's been putting applications in all over Austin but no one will give him an opportunity. I told him I didn't have any cash on me [honest truth I only had enough for my haircut] but that I could help him get a job. I told him that I work for Goodwill and let him know that we specialize in helping people with barriers to employment [i.e. criminal background] find jobs. I told him we should be able to help him.

MAAAAAAAAAN, the expression and excitement on his face after I told him that was unlike anything I had ever seen before! "Yea! That way I can support myself and not have to ask people for money! Man, I really appreciate you!" I said no problem glad I could help and we went our seperate ways.

Afterward I was overcome with the joy of knowing I have a job that has meaning and can truly change peoples lives.

The week ends!

Fridaaaaaay!

The day of the week I love the most...

I went to the barbershop early this morning to get chopped up! Got to work about 10 did some paperwork in prep for next week.

[Honestly: Sometimes I wish I had a job that would pay me to run around all day and shoot pics]

I had to MC the plant meeting today too [my first time...I was sweatin bullets!!]

After I get off I'm heading over to watch my bro pitch his first game of the season. My moms, older bro and nephew are coming down as well so it should be fun!

Fresh line-up!

I wish I didnt have class on Saturday cause then we could hit the club afterward. Ah well I'll enjoy while I can!

Got to get some sleep..

Hall of Honor

Last night at work we had the annual Hall of Honor event. It spotlights those that Goodwill has helped and are now doing exceptionally well for themselves. I volunteered my services behind the bar for the evening. It was real cool. Some really extraordinary people were honored. One person in particular had been homeless not to long ago and is now a top supervisor in Goodwill's Contract Services division. It really put my life in perspective to see people that literally had nothing come up and are thriving. It really made me proud to be apart of a company that truly helps others.

Enjoy...

Budweiser donated tons of beer...


...and the food was on point!









The homie James!

Wine was flowing like water!
