I know there are people who would say that God isn’t so much into hate…<\/p>\n

Ok, so maybe God doesn’t hate me… But God sure is having a great time laughing.<\/p>\n

Here’s the situation…<\/p>\n

In the past month I’ve had a firm invitation to go to Paris. This trip would have been almost 2 weeks long, and only cost airfare and food. The person that invited me has an apartment available.\u00a0I had to turn it down<\/strong><\/p>\n

Within a day, I was notified of an opportunity to go on a dive trip to Utila on a live aboard. That’s a big assed boat where you get to dive, eat, drink, relax, and be pampered. I had to turn it down<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Two weeks later… There was another cancelation on the same boat… I had to turn it down.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today… I got a notification about an opening with another group diving Utila. I have to turn it down.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every Single one of these trips is scheduled right around the last week of March.<\/p>\n

ARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I haven’t been diving in two years! And I LOVE Caribbean waters.<\/p>\n

So There have been 4 opportunities ALL for the same time period. If I were superstitious, I’d say someone is trying to get me out of California at the end of March…<\/p>\n

OR God is laughing his ass off watching me lose my mind…<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/strong><\/p>\n

As of this morning there is yet another slot open on one of the dive trips.<\/p>\n

The reason that I’m turning these trips down is because I don’t feel that it would be an appropriate use of my cash right now.<\/p>\n

Unemployment has a way of making you think about how you’re going to spend your cash.<\/p>\n

There is a part of me that says “Screw it! Take a vacation, it’s cheap and you know damn well that when you go back to work you’re not going to see any vacation for at least a year.”<\/p>\n

It’s the story of my life… When I have the time for a vacation.. I don’t have the money.<\/p>\n

Who knows…<\/p>\n

The irresponsible part of me my yet win this battle. My resolve to do the right thing is weakening by the moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
