I was starting to have a good day. My bike is in perfect condition. I was actually optimistic that I'll actually succeed in finding employment so I could get my life back on track. I was actually optimistic that my life will start moving forward instead of moving backwards. Gentle Reader, you know what that means. Yup, you guessed it. Dark shadow forces who refuses to be identified appears to be determined to ruin any chances for optimistic happiness by reversing all my successes so that I'll end up accomplishing nothing. almost on cue, my bike gets a third flat tire within the span of a week and a half. This is getting ridiculous. I'm only earning unemployment compensation from the Department of Jobs and Family Services and I'm not sure how long that will last. I can't afford to keep fixing flat tires if dark shadow forces who refuses to be identified keeps attacking my poor bicycle as punishment for the crime of being owned by me. If I keep getting flat tires and I keep not getting employed so I can keep up with the non-stop flat tires, I'm going to need alternate travel ideas. If I keep getting flat tires, I'm going to say, "Screw it, I'm purchasing rollar skates and I'm going to rollar skate from job application opportunity to job application opportunity.

I wouldn't mind an overnight life changing turning point energy wave that you would see in the D.C. Comic book story Crises of the Infinate Earths. However, I'd settle on being employed. Being unemployed isn't fun. The thought that I'm unemployable is even worse. Whatever needs to be done to make myself employable needs to be done. Clinging to bad habits is useless if the bad habits is making a homeless vagrant of me. Not wanting to be a homeless vagrant, but instead, wanting to be employed, having my own apartment and being debt free, the bad habits that's causing my life to go backwards instead of forward needs to be removed. If removing bad habits that's ruining my life is the life lesson for my existance starting with my birth in 1968, then I'll embrace change and remove bad habits without hesitation. To quote John Donne (1572-1631) from his book Devotions upon emergent occasions and seuerall steps in my sicknes - Meditation XVII, 1624: "All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

My bike got another flat tire. I took the broken bike to Dick's Sporting Goods and the bike tire is back to normal again. So now I can go job hunting on bicycle again. With luck, I won't get anymore flat tires. And so here I am. I'm still unemployed. And so I shall continue to fill out job application forms in hopes of finding employment again. The Great Recession has caused my life to go backwards instead of forwards. The Great Recession simply motivates me to work a litte bit harder in the goal of getting my life back on track again.

My Mom returned from a three day vacation to Alexandria, Ohio to spend time with my sister Dani, my brother-in-law Jim, my niece Jenny Lou, my nephew Danny James, Jim's brother Rob and Jim's parents Mary Lou and Jim Senior. My brother Mitchel and I stayed in Cleveland, Ohio with the pet dogs Furby the Furball and Elaina Baina. My bike had a flat tire. I had the flat tire fixed. So now I have bicycle mobility restored. All I need now is to find employment. So continues my search for employment. With luck, I'll find employment so I can get my life restored back to normal again. Once I succeed in finding employment, then I could repay my United States Government college tuition loans for attending (but failing to graduate despite getting a 3.0 grade point average) Franklin University 100%. Then I can rebuild my saving account balance. Then I can get my independent apartment restored back to normal. Then my life will stop going backwards and start going forward with my life.

There was a slight chill in the air as I woke up in the morning. I pulled out the morning Cleveland Plains Dealer Newspaper to check the weather. Let's see. The tempreture high is seventy-four and the low is fifty-three. Soon, I'll be preparing myself some breakfast. I'll be needing to mow the lawn, vacuum the rug and shampoo the rug in the dining room. Oh yes, I'll be needing to clean the bathroom too. There's a lot for me to do today. And if I could manage to find employment on the internet, then that would be fantastic too. I'm always in the mood to be employed again.

It started to rain while I was on the way back home from job hunting. It's been raining nonstop ever since. What started as a heavy rain has slowed. However, rain continues to fall. I'm ready for rain. I'm ready to go hunting for employment no matter what the weather is outside. And with Cinco de Mayo behind us, I wonder if we really know what Cinco de Mayo means (beyond the chance to eat Mexican food for the day). Well the holiday of Cinco de Mayo goes all the way back to 1862 when Mexico won the Franco-Mexican War against France during the Battle of the Puebla. To be more exact, Cinco de Mayo (Which is celebrated in the fifth of May) is Mexico's Independence Day. Hold on a second, wasn't Mexico a colony of Spain. Yes, it it got liberated from that country too on September 16, 1810. Then came the Mexican-American War between 1846 to 1848, The Mexican Civil war of 1858 and the Reform Wars in 1860. Napoleon III used unpaid foreign loan debt as an excuse to invade Mexico in 1861 and was kicked out by Mexican revolt the very next year. However, Napoleon III gained control over Mexico anyway for three years between 1864 to 1867. Democratically elected President Benito Juárez García was kicked out and replaced for three years by French Government selected anti-democracy dictator Emperor Don Maximiliano I. Emperor Don Maximiliano I and his patron French Emperor Napoleon III was kicked out a second time in 1867. Emperor Don Maximiliano I was executed. Democratically elected President Benito Juárez García returned to power. So I guess the Mexican holiday Cinco de Mayo is just as much about Former Mexico President Benito Juárez García as it is about Mexico's double victories against Emperor Napoleon III of France. Here is a photo of former President of Mexico Benito Juárez García---The hero of the story of Cinco de Mayo.  Here is a photo of Emperor Napoleon III supported dictator for life of Mexico Emperor Don Maximiliano I---The villain of the story of Cinco de Mayo.
