Been Gone for Far To Long

Well you know how the old saying is...and if you don't know then tough bananas for you. It appears that I have been away for sometime and thus I am back but I can see that no one really missed me nor this site and that's okay.

Well there has been so many things that have happened since the last entry.

The Good News:

We finally moved out of the old and infected apartment and into a bigger and better one. Its funny how we have already explained that we would not be paying for the last month rent to our owner and yet he still sent us a bill expecting it to be. Well see if that get resolved in court.

Jasmin has begun walking! I am truly amazed at how she has progressed. Lately she has been learning to shake her head No. Although she has no clue what this means, she thinks she is given a answer and sometimes she is and other its just silliness.

Flagfootball season has started up again and yours truly is back at the QB position yet again. I have been focus a bit on my accuracy. We've only have two training days and both of those days I consider rusty due to the winter break.

Talks about heading to Florida have begun. This year, my in-laws are going to come with us. That way they can meet my mom. I will admit I am a bit nervous about this but I know if I don't nip it now they (in-laws) will never get a chance to save up and see her. Its more so that Jasmin is bigger now and she can also have fun with grandma and mormor/morfar. This will also give us a chance to go about and do somethings without the worry of babysitting. Because we all know, all those fun things you wanted to do you can't do with a 1 year old at your ankles.

The Bad News:

I am still unemployed  I have gone out to a temp agency place and thought I had a great job lined up, but the guy that I had the interview with has let me down and now I am on a waiting list that never looks like I will get called. I am back to writing 5-6 job applications a day and its truly getting on my last nerves. Just like to talks about taking a education is starting to drive me insane. I know it the right call but how would you feel if you had to take a education where the language and culture are different?

My goal with my weight loss has failed mainly because of the hard winter we have had the last few weeks. I have started to get some type of sore throat every day and night. Making it harder for me to breathe and swallow. My doctor thinks I am some type of hypochondriac but I know my body and what I am feeling is not in my head.

I have been accepted by my daughter to start putting here to bed. Now you might be thinking what is so bad about that. It means that my wife would be able to go on this 3 to 5 days business trips and I would be alone with her. Its bad enough that I really just don't have the patience but my wife handles those problems better than I do. Now that is not so say that she can't go out and have fun, but Jas has a way that when I put her down it the end of the world and all my wife has to do is come in a put her hand on her chest and shes out cold in 10 min.

My fan page is dying so slowly. I have had a great run since I have started Favorite Vlogger (no longer Yours) but I have to start singing and dancing to get your attention. It makes things so hard when no one interacts. I have done it all. Picture, Twitter, Instagram, Streaming, you name it I am pretty sure I have tried it. Thus why this has been brought back from the dead.  But again. I can see that you never missed it or me. I guess another 2½ month there will be some interest when I do another. But in the meantime you can look at the new style and directions I have gone with the youtubing.

Unemployment is so Annoying

Well, like I promised, going to talk about being unemployed.

Its been a little over a month in a half since my boss told me I have been released by the company and will not have my contract renewed. Since then I have (or I should say my wife) spent over 2 to 3 hours A DAY, looking for jobs. The problem is that not that there aren't any. Believe me, when we go onto jobnet.dk  there are a shit load of jobs. Whats annoying is that we have sent in over 10 application (give or take) a week. Now the american in me feels very stupid. I should be the type that is able to land a job with their eyes closed, but yet when I have to wait 3½weeks for these people (and that is definitlty not the term I use) to write a email back and say "oh we have over 200 other applicants and we are sorry to say that it is not you but what we will do is keep you things on file.." it gets REALLY annoying. So what am I applying for you might ask,

• Storage
• productions (factories)
• Customer Service (not the best but its there)
• hospital (nothing surgery)
• admin/IT (cause I am really good with computers. Just not Networking/coding)
• secretary
• international
• janitorial (the high class low)

and many others that if I looked into our mailbox right now you would see so many applications and CV's I have sent and some I haven't even heard word back from them.

So this has prompt me to become a little bit worried. I really don't want to lose our car and bank loans. But the way things are starting to spiral downward right now I am not even looking forward to my own 32 birthday. Why? because the gift(s) that I want would cost money that we don't have. Whats even worst is the thought of our kid being taking out of daycare because we cant cover the cost to have her in there. And that would me I would have to sit and watch her (the baby) while mommie goes to work and you already know my torerance is not up to that level just yet.

When the Kid is sick...

OK OK!! I know NONE of you have been wondering where the Favorite vlogger guy went to? Sorry that I have been non-existent on here. For those of you that are parents will understand this. The past month my little girl (or as I call her "monkey") has been sick. First it started with just a mild cold which child are prone to getting when they go to a daycare. But it was really odd has fast it hit her. (which leave me to think just what the hell are they doing at the daycare? Watching the kids lick one another?)  After about 3 days that broke and she was fine. Or so we thought. A few days after she began coughing really bad when she was sleeping. My wife and I started to give her water to drink at nights and thought that would help. But before you know it her nose began to run again with snot, and just this past weekend she had (what I thought was pink eye) some type of infection that came out of her eyes. (some yellowish stuff) It was so bad that at night when she slept or napped and awoke from it her eyes would be totally covered like a scab when you fall. Again, I am a new parent and these sorts of things have a impact on me. I want my little girl to feel better, not get worse. Its hard for me to be happy and get her mind off of it when she looks like a zombie. So this past week I have been in a "bad daddy" mode to the point I was about to shoot the next person that came up with some stupid remedy to cure her. (only replying this to a family member that side use saltwater to get rid of the infection in her eyes. and yes I am aware that does work but what about the COLD ITSELF!!) But all hope was saved and I didn't have to go hulking rage mode, because we went to the doctor yesterday and she knew right away what it was. (Some type of weird named virus) So of course she wrote a script for Jas and we picked it up just moments after leaving the doctor. Right away I could tell this stuff was working because she had a nap and I had just come back from driving into another city looking for a job (OH YEAH, that's going to be the next blog. There is some much bullshit that I am getting back from sending job applications) and the first thing I had noticed was that her eyes were not producing that yellow crap. (plus the fact that it smelled like cherries and daddy loves cherries) The only bad thing I will say about it is that I think it is laced with sugar because it kept her up for an hour past her normal bedtime, as she wanted to have a life long talk with her mother.

Today I am happy and back to my normal self along side with my little monkey. (whom I am sitting and watching her play right now on the floor) I can see she is back to her happy baby self and all is well. (except for the cough her or there) now the only thing is to get her focused on crawling forward and not backwards! :o)

You know my child?

Lately, besides worrying about trying to find a job to keep my family out of debt or have my wife work crazy hours to keep us in the green, I have had to worry about other people trying my nerves about my kid.

Take for example, at this moment I am some where else and my little mama just got done eating half of her dinner and a bottle. So it goes to let her be along with her toys on the floor for a while and try not to shake her up because she will instantly bring it back up and we all know that when it comes back up its a bitch to clean up off them and the floor or where ever they are at.

So in the meantime, someone picks her up and begins "playing" superhero and turning her in the air. Of course I know that they are just trying to have fun with her and all but earlier they came in being all loud while my wife was trying to put her to sleep. Coming home from a long day of work is one thing but when you come home and your being all loud (when you know at the time your coming home is the time the child is trying to sleep)

So, it comes with the territory when I am annoyed when people just don't wanna hear what your (in this case  me) trying to tell them and that they think that they have all the knowledge in the world when it comes to something that they have no clue about. am I wrong for a having this thought process when it comes to something I have been in contact with all majority of its life? Help me out here? Would Like to know your thoughts. Leave the comments below on the page or leave on the facebook fan page as well.

Worst Day EVAR!!

Today started out normal like any other day. I got up and did my daily morning routine. I stopped by the gas station and even got cheap gas today. My body hurt a little form training on Wednesday night, but it did stop me from coming into the office.

Normally on this day I would have eaten morning bread with the rest of the people but they had already started, so I just joined them and chatted for a bit.

After that I came to my desk and did the normal routine of checking email and seeing what I had to do today.
There wasn't much so I make best of what I could do by double checking another assignment that I had been working on. After a while, I felt really tired and could feel a small cold coming over me. So, right before lunch I had deiced I would go home and I did.

After a 25 minute drive back home I when in to bedroom to rest, but only to be woken up by the alert from my Iphone. It was my boss and she wanted me to come in for a meeting at 2. Frustrated, I put my clothes back on and drove back out to the office only to be told today I would be terminated.

Now, I had been expecting it for sometime since the company is firing people to say money, but for it to come this fast took my breathe away. Now, I am to what I use to do before I moved to Jylland. I feel like I will never find another job that is so great like the one I had. Nothing will even come close. I guess I can make time to find something on most of the job sites, but you know how that goes!

Just because...

There are somethings I have notice since moving here to Denmark people do "just because" they can and the do it without any reasoning behind it. Here are just some of my worst pet peeves that drive me crazy and the overall comment from it is well..."just because"

• Avoiding pay parking

Now for those of you that don't know, Denmark has this thing where in most areas (sometimes in the main center of a town) you have to pay to park. The concept is pretty simple. But in the general area where I live at there is this private area where parking is mainly used for the residents that live there. But I have noticed time after time and day after day people ignore this warning that is clearly in from before you drive into the area that this is only for the residents. And for what to get out of paying 15 kroner because your going to go work out or you going to go screw around in the town. (you know your not going to buy anything) But now when I come home or the hard working others (or hardly working) people come home they hope to find the same spot or if not close to where they left this morning, but this is a lost cause. Need I remind you all that in Randers there is a HUGE parking house just less than 5 minutes from Centrum. Why would you need to come and park in a place where others live at? so you can save 15 kroner but yet you'll go and spend 350 on other things?

• Driving on the motorway (highway)

Now this is one of the worst things that bring out road rage in me. And normally I don't let road rage get to me but some how it does because of asshole drivers. Now in Denmark there are many speed limits. you have a set speed when you incoming to a town (110 km) and you have a set when you leaving and just out on the highway. (130 km) Now lately, summer has ended and a lot of people are early to rise up in the morning to beat the morning traffic. Just this morning I got up at 6:45 so that I could get out of Randers early as possible. There is this car in from of me that just took off after a right turn and blew by a red-light doing at lease 65. Not wanting to stop he could have made things a lot hectic if he'd drove into someone. And to make matters worst, Denmark is know for it windmill so every once in a while your going to come across and big transport truck carrying a windmill blade. This truck is HUGE and thus takes a lot of space. Now on the danish highway you only have 2 lanes. The left lane is only used for passing. Thus leaving the right lane for controlled and save driving. But if your in the left lane driving under the pace of the rest you going to get someone that drives right up in behind you. If they are nice they might not do anything but 9 or 10 you get that asshole that will flash you and yet not realize that there is a HUGE as 16 wheeler that if it is hit could cause many injuries and death. Even if you get over to let them pass they are driving 150 km which is hella dangerous. The top (safe) speed is 130 km. Where the hell are you going in such a hurry?

For those that are reading this leave your comments about what bothers you? Are these minor or can you relate? Also please make sure you tune into the 24 stream next week. It could be changing venues thus making things a lot easier. Hope to see you in the next blog.

Why not Reply? Too Good Youtube Partners?!

Now, one of the thing that bothers me a lot is people that ask you do something but but can't answer back. It drives me absoulty crazy.

I guess I'll start out with the recent one I am bothered by. This kid is a great youtube. I like the idea that he has started a "Ask Me" like channel which brings in the views. Now what he also does is that he informs his audience that he has one of the those Google things where you can post a question to him. Brilliant  Awesome, Genus! I got nothing agaisnt you when it comes to getting the people to flock to you. But what I do have a issue is when you (basically) run us over with that you want us to send in the questions to you but yet you never answer and of the GOOD ones. The last few months I have noticed that questions that he answers are becoming more and more stupider (I know stupider isn't a word) The first was when was his first gaming console, then about Iphone apps (which I admit was ok) but then from that moment it just went downhill. They (his audience) start asking about what he eats, how he farts, etc etc. Now I am starting to realize that his audience is about the same age as he is and should have expected something like this. I submitted 1 question that doesn't even really take much to think about. But apparently him telling them what his farts smells like is so much more important. GO FIGURE!

Now I know that guys (and gals) can't just sit by the PC and answer every question but why beat your audience over the head with a club about sending in the question when you your not going to answer the question that actually are serious questions. It makes no sense for you to make a 15+ minute youtube video about non-sense with your farts.

NFL IS BACK!

ITS BACK! Thats right! You know you have been waiting for it just like me. From the last play of SuperBowl every (american) gets a little sad when football season ends! But after a great summer and other great sports (like NBA) have come and gone, the NFL season starts up again!

I am very excited for this year because Tampa Bay has got a lot of new toys to work with this year beside a new headcoach! I was a little worried about the running game buck if Blount cant get the job done then we can count on our new back.

But overall, there is one thing I am not glad for when the NFL season begins. As many of you know, I live in Denmark and I am glad that they have a group that can cover the NFL. But this group of 3 (on TV3+) are one of the WORST bunch of commentaries I have heard in....well forever!

Now 2 of the three I can deal with but this one see above you, is the worst of the worst. At times he tries almost too hard to be "PrimeTime" by making his own little skit called "TommyTime". Now I will admit he has about 5% flair in front of the camera but yet when there is action on the field, he thinks he knows the penalty calls and they are way off and he screams like he's falling out of a tree onto a bed of spikes. In the beginning they had someone by the name of "Bubba" who KNEW what he was talking about when he was asked. Unlike this "wannabe" clown who chimes in when no one really ask him anything...but this was not meant to be negative towards him it was meant to say THAT FOOTBALL IS BACK! AND BOY AM I HAPPY!

Who do you think will be in the SuperBowl this year? Who is your favorite team?

What's with being the "First" of something?

There are some things man are suppose to be first to. Tickets for a concert, when the bank opens, even when your getting some action in the bedroom, its still okay to be first in these situations. But when you basically "stalk" someone youtube video or page just to be the first comment, THAT'S REALLY STUPID. I mean all the hard work I put in to a video and the only thing you can comment on about it is that your bragging because your the first person to leave a comment. I wonder who came up with this concept?

I watch the entire video from start to finish. Because it sparks my interest. And I actually leave a 2 sentence comment because I want to let the tuber know that I think their video was worth something. So many great youtubers have deleted or ban people because if this non-sense, and I can understand why. If your a tuber (like myself) what do you do when you get someone that plays the "first" comment game on your video? Leave your comments.

Oh, BTW, if you haven't already seen the video where I interviewed folks in Denmark about the leader of DF leaving you can now do so on the youtube channel. Have a great weekend everyone.

What Denmark thinks....

Yesterday I did the unthinkable. Normally I don't do something like this because I don't like to go up and just bother people, (well unless they really are being a jerk and they ask for it) but like in my last video, I wanted to find out how danes feel about the recent news of the leader of DF (Pia Kjaersgaard, below) stepping down. As far as I heard about her, she a very powerful person and for her to want to stop is rather interesting.

So yesterday when I was on my way to football training, I manager to build the strength and walk up to people and hear their thoughts. Overall I must have interacted with at least 20 people but once they noticed the camera or what it was about, many of them declined to the interview, and that is perfectly ok. I did manage to get about 4 women and their thoughts. (whats with the men? Made me think that they where on their periods) I am pretty excited to get home and edit this so that I can upload it and let you guys see. But please be VERY respectful to these peoples opinion.
