IN Digestion

Ok, so firstly, because of this thread, I made a while back - which is really intended to my friends, yes those of you whom I HATE TO DEATH (no, just kidding). No, but really in my ideal world - ALL of my friends, which probably now can be counted on a single hand, and ALL of my family (even the ones I don’t know too well) would come live in Jordan. As I approach old age, I am finding myself inclined towards just being a homely grandfather type of person - I want to just relax, drink some tea, make some food, and sit back and hear the ‘news’ around me. So, this is the goal: It MUST, it WILL happen. Of course, there are so many obstacles to this. I do not feel like moving back to the states yet, not after having just moved to Jordan and spending a small fortune on getting life started here (furniture, and very soon a car [make that this SUNDAY]) so the next best alternative is that they all come to me. Of course, there are other problems.  I do not have kids, I have step kids. And within a few years, they will go back to the states and live with their Father, (which of course is completely fine, except the whole America thing). But, I HAVE NO KIDS. (again, I am not so sure that I really want them, I only want to be involved at a fatherly level in the beginning states when they are babies, and their mother takes care of them) - and in the end when they are adults (19 is good enough) when you can actually have a conversation with them as some what of an equal and give them advice, or things that they can actually do. In the middle time, too much time is spent showing them how to do things. (Like, here this is how you learn how to do x, y and z). So maybe, just maybe its about time to get something going with the whole kid thing. But again, chances are, I Am medically INALLOWED to have them. Which works out for me, for now, but again, more problems., I HAVE NO SIBLINGS. NONE, ZILCH! No body. So no kids to play with when I am old & NO NEPHEWS AND NIECES, and ILL BE IN JORDAN OR SOMETHING so no bonds to make with FAMILIES!. So, I have a solution for that too - After I retire, I MUST adopt some kids, and make them have kids so I have kids to be around when I am older. So that’s the great plan for now.

In the mean time, retirement, retirement, retirement - how BADLY I want to, and how soon is it really away. Hopefully, HOPEFULLY, just a few more months. But two huge huge thorns in that. I find it hard to leave any company, period - so I kinda have to stick around until I am fired. It seems my current boss will never fire me. We had a huge HUGE fight the last few days, and now I have 15% less hours, and im still hired, and I still have same pay!. They brought in a new manager who changed policies to try and get around my loop holes. For 2 months it did not work, my salary was decreased officially heavily (and compensated unofficially) - and on the first glimmerings of hope that maybe, it was working - the policy was changed for me, again. So that it becomes near impossible for me to receive any deductions. SO, this company does not plan to fire me any time soon.

Also, I took on another job - I was offered a job that doubles my salary! - and I like the company and the work I will be doing for them and its in my off time from my first job,

Ok, so you see, all of the above that was written - was written a few weeks ago? (days ago?). But, lets get down to business and break it down. Firstly, ok you know what I DO NOT HAVE TIME to do this right now and today.

So Ill give a recap, and then comment on everything later.

One, someone whom I do not know is making Hijrah because of this thread I made a long time ago:

They are COMING over and will be here in 7 days! WTF!!! Thats amazing. (his airpland and his wifies arrives in april 2nd!).

they will stay with us, until they establish themselves and what not. Thats FREAKING COOL. He responded immediately to the thread, quit his job within 1 month, and bought tickets all just like this. WICKED. (and we dont even know each other!).

Secondly, Fatima and I are going to be doing a pilot episode in one or two days for a Radio Station here in Jordan. We will be on the radio with our own show once a week. And its all based upon our personalities. If it works, (and everyone around us who pushed it and made it all possible firmly believe that it will) we will be mini celebrities in the middle east. Invited to conferences, speeches, and press events all the time. (not to mention, we get paid just to talk!). A Whole marketing campaign will launch soon all about ‘our show’

I AM BUYING A CAR!!! - *Thanks to My Dad and Fatimas Dad and Mr. Swaiseh *
