A Quick Update from Craig



I don't know if a lot of people like to be kept up to date with what I am doing, but I like to sometimes just ramble about myself and I find this a good outlet. I don't live a very exciting life, much to my own detriment, but just like everyone else I have a lot going on inside of me.

I haven't wrote anything on here since April 21st. One of the main reasons is that I lost my Photoshop and I didn't think I could create a a post with out a little homemade image at the very top of it. This is going to look very odd in comparison to my other posts. There have been many things that I have wanted to write about so I will make a quick list for you now.

1. Caitlyn Jenner - I am immensely proud of her, what she is doing is incredibly brave. I can't imagine living a life that wasn't for me for so long and then make that change. Fix what needed fixing. I am in awe of her, she is beautiful, a trailblazer and an inspiration to many.

2. Facebook fasting - Me and my friend decided to take ourselves off Facebook for a week. I accidently did it for 9 days. And accept for the fomo (fear of missing out), it didn't affect me at all. I was actually happier without it. I didn't have any sources to compare myself to my friends/friends of friends and it was freeing. One bad thing did come from it though - I missed the announcement of the Dixie Chick's UK tour and by the time I heard about it there was only bad seats left. So overall the week had perks and flaws.

3. Vegetarianism - Thats right, Craig is now meat free. I have been officially 100% vegetarian for 5 days now, but for the past few weeks I have slowly been weeding animal products out of my life. I know it isn't exactly a long time but for me it is a big deal. For someone that considered Ronald McDonald and the Colonel as family it has been tough, but day by day it is getting easier and easier. The dream is to one day be free of all animal products and become vegan - but baby steps.

4. I had a relationship - I don't know if thats what it can be called as it kind of happened and ended rather quickly. It is a shame it had to end, but when it isn't right it isn't right. So still holding out for my prince to come and sweep me up, put that glass slipper on my adorable feet and live happily ever after.

5. I got a new job - I am back in retail! For the time been I am working in a clothing shop once again. My last job wasn't for me, so I chose happiness over money (stupid I know). I couldn't make myself pick up a phone and listen to someone moan for hours at a time about something I just didn't care about. However, this job I can do and I can do well. Is it forever? I don't know. Maybe one day someone will pay me to do something fun but that just seems like a dream right now.

6. Grace & Frankie -  I don't know why I didn't watch this as soon as it was uploaded, but my days I am so glad I finally watched it. The fact it stars 2/3 of the cast of one of the best films of all time (9 to 5) should have been a big enough push for me to watch it from the jump. It was hilarious, heart warming and has given me more catchphrases to slide in to everyday conversation.

So that was just a few things that have ran through my mind or happened to me in the last few weeks. I am going to try and be more frequent with my posts because I absolutely love writing and this one of my few outlets for it. I am going to try and get over my fear of not having photoshop to complete my posts.
