Through out my 28 years on this planet I've worked a lot of jobs,most of them retail. Most of them garbage and very inconvenient and less than sympathetic/caring to my special case. Working is hard for me, I can't stand for long periods of time...I need to use the bathroom like right fucking now or have frequent doctor's appointments. It becomes a problem for most employers to deal with me and on one hand I don't blame them but at the same time I can't help it. This is the life I live and while disability is helpful it will never allow me to live a normal functioning life. This past week I made the decision to leave my job of 3 years( only really worked for maybe 1 1/2 though). I realized that the only jobs I'm really qualified to do are the jobs that readily available but are like Kryptonite for my well-being. To the people who may be saying "Well Alissa, are you sure you're not just lazy?" I will say a big fuck you respectfully, until you live a day or two in my body you don't know anything unless you actually have Crohn's, fibro etc etc. I would give a lot to be able to do a normal life, work a normal soul-crushing job, have a too expensive too small apartment. I would love it. Just to have job security would be amazing. So now I find myself once again jobless and wondering how I'm going to pay my bills because they very much exist. What do I do? Right now I really don't know but to say I'm not worried would be a lie. I'm extremely worried. If I ever needed the universe to come through for me it would be now. So universe, if you're reading this please give me a win because I really need it right now. My skills are writing and generally being awesome/charming and plenty humble. Thanks. Please check out my newest review over at ComicBuzz P.S I'm on a diet and this is life now but I actually am enjoying it. I didn't give up soda though....cry about it.

Pokemon trainers, it's time to catch them all...by walking around outside? It's true. In the midst of Pokemon's 20th anniversary, the game company Niantic is making our childhood dreams come true by releasing Pokemon Go for ios and Android. The game is simple, using our phone's GPS and AR abilities we can walk around outside and catch Pokemon!
The amount of people playing the game is kind of shocking. I've seen hordes of people walking around everywhere including outside of our house at 2am. I'm a big fan of the concept of getting people outside and walking around. I've seen people being more social just in the past few days since the game released than I have in years. It's a phenomenon, nerds are meeting up and even getting dates because of the game. I think it's awesome and I hope you're all playing whether to get some exercise or even just for the nostalgia value. I will say that even while playing you should still be paying attention to your surroundings and obeying laws, in other words don't fucking play the game while driving and don't trespass. You'll end up ruining it for everyone. I've been too busy playing this to blog and that's actually great. I walked 4 miles today and while it was tiring it was also super rewarding. I adventured with someone I just met to catch Pokemon and while that might not be as much as some of you have been doing walking wise, for me it was a step in the right direction. Since my last blog my first review has been posted on Comic Buzz! I encourage you guys to check it out and the site, I'll link it below! I actually have to get back to a review I'm writing right now. Thanks for reading and please stay safe on your journey to becoming a Pokemon Master!
