Blessings in disguise

I believe in blessings. I just don’t believe in ‘heavenly blessings’. To me, a blessing is merely a good stroke of luck, or a wish thereof.

That being said, I think that all of the bad things that have happened to me lately are blessings in disguise.

I complained about my job to myself, and was laid off. Now I have a better job with better people that say ‘thank you’.

I complained about my computer needing a PCI-Express (or is that PCI-X?) port, and it was hit by lightning. Luckily, a friend of mine lent me his laptop until I can get a new computer.

I complained about my car having no A/C and having other problems. The car was stolen, and now I have a new truck.

I complained about my apartment complex smelling funny and having a mold problem. Now the stolen car gives me leverage to move out early.

Could it be that my complaints are a form of ‘ask and you shall be given’? Would things be better if I had asked instead of complained? Who knows.

What I do know, however, is that the universe acts in mysterious ways to balance things out. It’s a hard life, sometimes. Some people have it harder than others. I’m one of the lucky ones.

Gallery2 added

Okay! I’ve added Gallery 2 to my site, as well as embedded Gallery2 into my blog.

You can see pictures of the new truck here.

New Vehicle

In lieu of the stolen vehicle, I’ve managed to work a brand new 2006 Nissan Frontier into my budget. I’ve even got GAP insurance through the dealership. I checked Progressive’s GAP insurance, and it only pays 25% of the owed cost of the vehicle…that’s not going to cut it for me, unfortunately.

As of 12:15 AM on September 26th, the vehicle was still in the parking lot. Let’s hope it stays there this time, eh? I don’t want to have gone through all of this hassle for nothing!!! At least this vehicle has a security system. I want to get LoJack installed, but it costs $1000.00 and I don’t want to pay that right now. I’ve got my budget worked out PERFECTLY as far as I know, and I don’t need something else to throw it off.

28 more days until my initial 90-day review at work!! :)

I’m adding a photo blogging software to this site just for the phun of it. I think it’s about time :)

Also, my sister (aka KooriTora) seems to be doing well with the cancer and all of the other things plaguing her at the moment. Everybody keep your fingers crossed for her!!!
