Been A Bit On The Downside Lately

By the downside, I'm referring to a bit depressed lately. Probably explains the lack of blog entries to be honest. I guess today kind of prompted myself to write an entry about it. Actually it's more like this week. Yesterday, I found out that my grandfather had passed away on February 15th, and yesterday a screw popped out of my glasses, which led to myself getting an eye exam done today.

Results were I was at a 21 on the eye pressure, and starting next year, the person that did the eye exam (optometrist) wants me in for a yearly exam to monitor my eyes, because anything over, could lead to Glaucoma. This exam has enforced that I should apply for some sort of medical aid, as I didn't do about two years ago for high blood pressure. In a sense, it feels kind of intimidating, when you've never applied for aid before, so saying I don't know where to start is an understatement.

That's just that area. Other things that have gotten me down lately are a lack of progress in my life. By lack of progress, I'm referring to no job, haven't met anyone (still single), and more.

Sure there are good things, but I tend to keep them to myself. I feel blessed for having a church I go to, a home church I belong to, and I'm fortunate enough to still win contests, those wins, I usually only tell my brothers, or post on fb, or here (which only one or two people read), or keep to myself. Winning things is a blessing in my opinion, and I feel like I'm just rambling now, so that's where I will stop.

Haven't Gone To The Movies In A While

Couldn't think of a better title for this entry, as I've used it's been awhile already. I guess it wouldn't matter if I used the title again, but anyways, as the title suggests, I haven't gone in a while. Part of it has been I'm saving up right now, and another part (probably more so) has to do with a lack of good movies out there.

That will change tomorrow however, as I'll be seeing four movies during AMC's Best Picture Showcase (Day 1). The four movies I'm seeing tomorrow are Amour (haven't seen it), Les Miserables, Argo, and Django Unchained (I've seen all three, but am looking forward to seeing them again).

Contests wise, since I've last posted, I won a stay in Vegas (transportation wasn't included) at the MGM Grand, and tickets to see Lady Gaga. I was sick the first day and didn't get to see her in concert, however the second day, I was feeling better and did get to see her in concert, so the trip turned out rather good (at least I think it did, considering how I was feeling going in). I was also lucky enough to win a Windows Phone.
