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.

MUK has taken over.

So for those of you that don't understand danish, google the word and see what you get. But getting back to the point, it has taken over in our little apartment since we moved in 2 years ago. Now I look at it like this, if our little girl wasn't brought into this world to a little late maybe its something that we could put up with. But since it has been noticed in her room and under her mattress it something that I don't want her to group up and get sick from in the future.

Its starting to make our floorboards pop up and I have bought all the sprays to make it go away but nothing works. So we have been eyeballing a new place to move into. This with the combination of noisy neighbors makes the argument even better. I am okay with it if it means the health of my little girl. Moving right down the road is great but I mean when you look at where we are located in Randers then you might think otherwise.

In the meantime, things have been moving a little bit forward. I say that because last week I had a interview for a temp. job. I would be lifting big creates of seeds. But the pay is darn good. within 2 days i'll be turning 32. A lot of you might be asking what do I want for my birthday, well there is only one thing I really want. I am planning on getting back in shape. Mainly because I want to live long enough to see my daughter grow up and go through all of life's test. So, I want to have a Nike+Fuel band. Now I know some of you are going to say it would help me lose the weight, it will be something that motivates me to get out and lose it.

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)

I am doing Twitter Wrong?

In today's social media, there is so much going on it could pass you by if your not up to speed with the way it works.  I was the type that though "I will never have a MySpace account. Because of the weirdos and wacks that try to snatch you up off the internet or hack into your personal information because your putting it out there to be seen" and I stood strongly by that. Then I met my wife who had one but wasn't into it much. Not long before that came facebook. Now again I stood strong footed but after a while got sucked into. (and not by Farmville. Wasn't even around at that time) Not the reason I gave into facebook was because I was leaving for another land. Leaving all my friends and family behind and needed some way to keep in contact with them.

That was 2007. Fast foward 5 years now. I have a Twitter, Blogger, HootSuit, FourSquare, Socialcam, Youtube, Instagram, and Tumblr. And out of all of those, twitter is the one I can't seem to understand.I send out all these tweets (and yes I use hashtags and all that other stuff when sending) but I very rarely get any response back. I do have some followers (if any real then the rest are all bots) and then there are some that I follow. (like NFL,ESPN,Basketball, Gamer, the usual man stuff....yes that involves some adult stuff too. Don't judge me) But, now I am starting to notice, some of my followers get their tweets retweeted by "Nancy-nobodies" and others get responses and likes. So my question is, HOW DOES THIS WORK!?! do I have to tweet a picture of my manhood (like Kanye) or what?

While we are on the topic of Social Media, all those that I have mentioned above I am apart of and would like if you would follow. Not to make my head big or anything. I would like to know my audiance and what they like/dislike from what I am doing. Many of them are in the links to the right of this, but others I have not posted so much and I am sorry for that. So here they all are for you enjoyment.

and now that I think about it there is a little bonus I would like to present to you all. Since I spend about 75% of my time bullshitting on my Iphone, I would like to ask if you would add me your list on Game Center if you have it. I am ~Des 99~ Thanks alot!

The Week Ahead of Me

Well as many of you know, this past Thursday, I got laid offed from my job. I am not to pleased about it. But I am aware that there is nothing I can really do. Today was probably the first day I smiled about anything in a long time since the news.

Now, I look forward just to hear back from people that are looking for employees to work. And let me tell you its not as easy as it sounds. But I am putting all my efforts and talents into finding something as soon as possible but I am aware (again) that its not just going to fall into may lap.

For those of you that are wondering about me continuing to "Google Hangout Streams" yes I will continue to do them. But please take not it will only be AFTER my kid is asleep and it will be on a microphone to keep her from waking it. (Her bedroom is right next to our living room)

But enough of the boring shit that you already know about. I will inform you that I have been involved in a new game app on my Iphone called "Mindfued" Just like wordfued but only with monkeys and different shapes and colors. Something I can not explain but its pretty neat. So if you fancy a game please feel free to send me an invite. (Des_1999)

Another thing I have to look forward to, is that tomorrow I go into surgery. Nothing fancy it just for my toenails  Now I know it sounds like nothing but best believe I have my toenails removed in the past and it sort of hurts. But this time around I am getting both of them taken off an hopefully they will not return so jacked up and painful like before. If your one of those types that Like to see gross stuff on youtube, (and be honest, we all have look or searched for "biggest zit" or "boil" removed on their) you can feel free to watch on old vid I took when it got done a few years ago.

On top of that my kiddo starts her first swimming lesson and then her first day of daycare on Tuesday. So i guess its not all that bad huh?!

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!
