And it doesn't feel the same. These are the first two big sports to start back up since my dad has passed, and it's just not the same watching them. My dad & I would talk about the games leading up to them, and we'd spend time talking about them afterwards, and of course we would watch them together. That's all gone now since I'm watching it alone. My older brother will watch it with me at times, and he'll listen to me talk about various teams and players, but there's no back and forth.
I guess you can say that I'm in a lousy mood as I write this entry. Just with this, and with the lack of progress on my job search, and the prospect of being homeless, and losing our animals. It's been 4 months of what seems like wave after wave of either bad or disheartening news, and would just be nice if things started to change for the better.
That's where faith comes in, and that's what is keeping me going. That, and my church family. It really has been a blessing with that (to say the least).

A week of WWE Events
Well not a full week, but last week was the best week I've had in a long time, and for sure of the summer. It all started with SummerSlam last Sunday at the Staples Center, then continued the next night with Raw at the Honda Center, and finished off with the WWE Live Raw House show at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario.
SummerSlam was the second pay-per-view event that I've ever been to, and the Raw live show was one of many I've been to, as well as the house show. Outside of going to the events, there really isn't much new going on with myself. I'm still looking for a job, and not just myself, but my brother as well.
It was a big relief to be able to go to those WWE events (the first two, we went with a friend, and it was great experience because of it), primarily because it gave us a brief break from other things that have been going on for the past few months.

Hoping For Some Good Luck For A Change
This past summer, let alone year has been one in which I'd like to start over (I know it's not possible). It just seems like an ongoing string of bad luck. This summer particularly, has been one that's been rather unfortunate. We (by we, I'm referring to my brothers, and myself). We've dealt with the death of our father, back on June 23rd. We're still dealing with financial stuff, and things to be honest feel bleak. Both myself and my younger brother are jobless right now, and the only one working is my older brother, and even that is just part time.
My brother & I (the jobless ones) are currently looking for a job, and have been applying at various places. Right now, it looks like we only have enough funds for 10 to 12 months, and after that, the money is dried up, and we're homeless (that's a hard thing to say). It might be even shorter than that, and with the way the bad news seems to keep on piling up that we have less than that.
The hard part is getting a job. I've been applying for awhile now (before all of this happened), and my younger brother has started this past week. We we're hoping our dad would have had at least six months to live (as was the original time frame), and I would have been paid for taking care of him (as I would have qualified to do so), but he passed before the process of getting approved was finished (didn't make it to the interviews).
I imagine the reason why I, nor my brother have not had any luck, is from the lack of job experience. Like I said, it would be nice if our luck turns around. Really don't want to wind up losing our animals, and ultimately our animals. Things sure seem that way right now, and it's a very lousy feeling (to say the least).
