Much like was posted before, life as we know it is getting interesting. So much has happened since the last post so let's have a little run down.
First of all, there's Genista. Not really a subject that has been talked about in detail, but we are no longer together. The two of us lead two very different lives and with everything going on, now is simply not the time.
On a more positive note however, yours truly has become a YouTube partner. It came at quite a surprise. I was minding my own business and discovered I had received an email from GMail, which is typically a comment or friend request from YouTube. This time, however, it was an invitation for partner. It was very exciting. I can't wait to see what comes of it and my dream to become a full-time YouTuber is well underway.
That leads us to ACS. Work is work. Hundreds of calls every month, but nothing ever changes. I truly am still trying to move up within the company as well, but sometimes all I can do is question the general direction they have moved in. Now that we have a new General Manager, I'm hoping we can get back to where we were this time last year. My main concern is with October 1st on it's way, how will the employees be impacted when our pay is based in the hands...of the callers.
With lots of new projects and exciting ideas happening, I'll be trying to keep the blog a little bit more up to date rather than only posting 1 blog every month. I will be attempting to do a new blog every week, every 2 weeks at most.
Until next time, this is Joshua Beach signing off. And don't forget to go to my new direct website by clicking here.

September: Upgrade To Version 2.2
Ah, September is in the air and another birthday on it's way. I'll be 22-years-old this month and so many things are happening in my life.
Life as we know it is interesting. Genista and I have been together for over a year now and that is pretty sweet. I've never been with anyone so long. We'll certainly see where things take us.
Life at ACS is just plain, bleh. I've been at ACS for almost 16 months now and I feel almost like I'm getting nowhere. I feel like I do all I can but at the same time don't necessarily feel that it is giving back to me. Have opportunities presented themselves to me? Absolutely. Have I taken advantage of all of them? No...but at the same time I have tried to about 90% of the time. For someone such as myself who can hold such a high rank and since January receive 113 surveys, but only fail 4 of them...I'd call that a valuable asset.
At the same time, we have videography. Yes, I'm still putting a lot of resources into fulfilling my dream of being a full-time videographer, but it is an extremely slow process. I've tried to get a few gigs doing some voice-overs...but to no avail. My YouTube channel is still coming along, however, with lots of new ideas coming in everyday, I may be looking to start a new channel very soon.
And now my family. My dad comes home from Iraq this month...and this time he's not going back. It's a very exciting time because he is going to be re-stationed to Philadelphia. From my understanding it's not exactly a base per say...Jennifer said there was no PX...no Commissary...that sort of thing. We'll also, with any luck, see my dad don those birds on his collar, making him be rid of his oak leaves and become a full Colonel...that would be great. Ironic how I can always remember Carlisle when he was a Captain and we had a Colonel living next door. Dad always said he could become a Colonel in 15 years...Well it's 16 years later and his final assignment just might be back in PA...the irony is sweet.
But with everything going on and how happy I am for him, that leaves just one big thing...what happens next summer? Dad will be re-stationed in January. The girls will finish school but once it's over, they're gone. My closest family will live over 3,000 miles away. I will have no one here in Washington except for Genista and a few friends. My 22nd year on Earth will be an interesting one...but all I can do is hope for the best, and let my life lead me in the right direction.
