What?OMG? TheXLAntLIFE is writing another blog. Yeah that's right bringing the ZP (element of surprise.) It's on the periodic table look close. So today I am headed to British Columbia, super stoked, ready to drink some milk in a bag, and say alot of ay! Instead of what? Or Duh? Lol Yellow Card just came on the radio reminds me of the causeway going to New Orleans (Ash you know what I am talking about.) My life is a song I make connections to people,events, places based of of songs. Canada I think Five Iron Frenzy (RIP) hoping for a reunion tour. The Get Up Kids did it. So we are going to go whale watchin also. Hopefully we will see some, unlike Cayon of the Eagles in Texas where there are no eagles, well I didn't see any. It's all good though cause I can see some bald eagles fly around my Dad's house anyday. Iwonder if Benjamin Franklin had his way wold we be eating bald eagle on Thanksgiving. I mean he was a smart man, but come really a turkey for our national emblem. Anyway OMFG? WHAT? TheXLAntLIFE wrote another blog, who knows maybe I will make a 2nd one today. Yeah the element of ZP!

1st and probably the last?
Okay so the new trendy thing to do seems to be to blog. So here is my crack at it. This could be the one and only , or one of many more to come. First and foremost the title of my blog is the most important. If you know me at all you know that I have struggled with anger issues since I was teenager, and to be quite honest with you not sure why? I can honestly say I had a really good childhood even though I come from a broken home. My parents always bought the trendy or cool things like Nike shoes, and the best designer clothes. I never felt slided or unappreciated. Ok now that I've chased that bunny into it's hole let's get back on track. I have battled with my temper for far too long now. I lost my job back in December of last year was on unemployment up until March. I got a job at a gas station 2 blocks from my house things were going great. One day while at the gas station it was really crappy day, people were being rude, they were through trash all over the parking lot, and it was my job to pick the crap up. This all happened before 10am. In that moment I decided I was going to have an excellent day. For the next few days I ponder about that, then all of a sudden it hit me XLAnt, I am so witty. I began thinking how can a I market this so I came up with the ant head design. I decided that life is far to XLAnt to get made over the small things or even the big things for that matter. I continued to work at the gas station. Just before my 90 days the owner comes to me and says" the store is going in a different direction, and you are not going in that same direction." This just after I got the store up to par, worked with all vendors, did some rearranging, and he even thanked me. So the best thing that I got out if my gas station experience was It's an XLAntLIFE.
So once again I was on unemployment. Over the next few months I worked on my design decided I was going to go into the tshirt business, and whatever other graphic design things I can get my hands in. I am working on get some stickers now. I should be getting business cards soon. Two months ago I get random phone call from an unknown number, I usually do not answer my phone if the number is not in my contacts, but for some reason I answer. It was a call from Comcast, it is a cable,Internet, and phone company for those who do not know. Anyway This lady on the other line says," We have been trying to get a hold of you for a while." I had no clue. I got offered an interview time. Went to my interview, turns out my now supervisor graduated from Belton High School, I spent most of my childhood in Belton. This leads back to TheXLAntLIFE. I am a firm believer in you get out of life what you put in. This for me was the universe giving back. I now work for Comcast doing door to door sales. Thus far I have had people tell me I can't see you as a salesman. Well imma gonna show them. I am going to show the World (Thanks Lupe Fiasco.) I have spent the last 5 weeks in north Seattle 70 miles away form my house in training. I lived TheXLAntLIFE while in training I actually got to get out of training a week early. So live TheXLAntLIFE. It is truly amazing what you will get in return!
