Agh, I think it's time to get goin' and get some food in me.
I just watched Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Once More With Feeling for the first time. Holy hell it's great. I think that they should make some sort of supernatural action/comedy movie like that, wouldn't that be awesome?
I've been thinking about it and I really don't seem to be all that great at picking girlfriends. My first used to switch back and forth between me and my brother, next was Kacey and that lasted for a month before she decided that we needed to break up because she wanted our relationship to go further (I don't understand that logic), the next girl I asked out was Kayla who said yes and then told me she changed her mind the next day, after that was Deanna who broke up with me to go out with some guy we knew who was an ass, then there was Deanna again who I broke up with because she couldn't keep our relationship out of work and was way too jealous over me even talking to other girls, then there was Christina who I actually had very strong feelings for but lived in another country and wouldn't really open up to me (it wasn't really a bad relationship but thinking back it wasn't a good one for either of us) then there was a brief thing with a chic named Erin I met at the strip club (or was that before Christina? The point is that I don't suggest it.), then there was Deanna again as an FWB who I found out was actually in a relationship with another guy when we were doing that and fucked me over, and lastly there is currently Tina who is emotionally unavailable and who's idea of affection is being in the same room with me and I can't seem to fix the problem or end the relationship. *sighs* This isn't counting few random girls I've asked out, those never went past the first date.

No, you are not doomed - I do not know you, however, you need to try being the prey instead of the predator... If that makes sense. I know, from my point of "girl" view, that the chase for us is the utmost fun thing.. A little bit of mystery goes a long way.. But of course, do not let the chase be to complex, for girls have a tendency to doubt themselves quite quickly and tend to back off if they receive negative vibes. Obviously, introduction may depend on you at first, then let them dig to find their answers... However, it can go the other way also, they may tend to like to be chased. but you will know that right away - you'll feel the energy.. So not that this probably helped much because, unfortunately, it is a catch 22, but....just my thoughts :)
The trip to Iowa wasn't a 100% waste. I found out that my car gets excellent gas mileage and the oil use isn't as bad as it appears from the cloud of smoke puffin' out of my exhaust. Plus, even though the road construction was a nuisance the road trip was nice and decently relaxing and I had some fun burnin' the cobwebs out of my engine. For a p.o.s. my car has some decent get up 'n' go. I need to take the poor thing to the car wash now though, I swear I must have cut a swath through half the nation's bug population. I had to stop to clean my windshield multiple times because the bug guts got so thick I couldn't see through them.
Oh, and I finally got my cheeseburger on at B-Bops. *sighs* They have won an award for having the best burgers several times for a reason, not to mention that their fries and chocolate shakes kick ass. I didn't end up going to Ancient Ways like I had planned though, it was in the interest of saving money both in gas and what I would have spent there.
Tina wants to take a road trip with me some time during the next month, she says I need one that's for relaxing and not business. I agree with her. That she would suggest it is surprising though, she's not all that comfortable in vehicles. She suggested Sioux Falls but I'm thinking if we're gonna go we should go all out and head for the Mall of America, I haven't been there in years and she's never been. If we did that it would probably be in July though.
I guess I'll wait to update my premium membership until Monday, the lobby to the bank is closed because they're doing some sort of remodeling or something and the drive-thru was way too backed up for me to be willing to wait.
I suppose I should get my rear in gear and get started with the day. On thing's for sure, I need to get up to the bank before they close so I can deposit enough money to update my premium membership.
Today sucked. I made the 6 hour trip to Des Moines for that interview and had to deal with road construction all over. The only reason I made it by the time I was originally planning is because my foot doesn't understand how to obey the speed limit. I got there only to find out that not only did the manager on duty not know I was coming but that there wasn't any point in doing the interview because they filled the open position on wednesday. Of course they didn't call me to let me know because whichever manager I spoke to when I set up the interview didn't pass the word on. So I made the annoying 6 hour trip there for nothing and then had to make it back. It was unbearably hot since only the one window goes down. It was just very very crappy. I'm not a happy camper.
So much for the idea of sleeping, the most I managed to do was doze for a moment here and there but every time I did something would wake me for some reason. Oh well, time to get goin' with my day.
COMMENTS
Mmmm-Hmmm, that's happened to me on numerous occasions. If it's not someone waking you up for something they really could have figured out themselves, it's either a really full bladder, or, a cat shoving their wet nose in your mouth. 0.o
Pretty much. One time it was because there were some noisy kids in the parking lot outside my window, one because there was a thump from my upstairs neighbors that sounded like they dropped their fridge over my head, one was because I pierced the inside of my cheek and I haven't done that since my canines were dulled, and etc...
I think I'll call it an early evening. I've got a long day ahead of me. I have to be up and going at 4:30 so I can do a couple things before I leave, I have to pick up my paycheck by or before 6, and once I've got that I just need to cash it and head out of town on my 6 hour drive to get to my interview and hopefully a job offer. Peace out y'all.
Strange dream. I seemed to be living in the flat I've been looking at and I was having some kind of party, I think it might have been a fetish party but I'm not really sure. Everyone's having fun and mingling and what not but I'm having fun with some woman who's tied to my bed and nobody seems to notice. Finally I finish and I get up to do my host duties without getting dressed and people keep making comments like "Wow, you came naked? That's so edgy!" and I keep trying to convince them that I'm really not naked and have jeans on even though I don't. Then the cops, one girl and one guy, show up but instead of shutting us down they decide to spank everybody for misbehaving but they'll only do that if I agree to spank the female cop with her pants down... o_O ? So I spank her and the party goes on with the cops walking around and randomly paddling someone's ass. After a few minutes I decide that I want Arby's so I go out my door and that's when I woke up. Craziness.
I've made a discovery. I'm always experimenting with different ways to make shaving less unbearable and I've found a couple things here and there that help but they usually aren't enough and can't be combined. I found a new one that so far is best: dial anti-bacterial bar soap. It gave me an almost frictionless shave but I think most of the problem was from me not having shaved for too long, I'll try it again and see how it does when I'm not quite so fuzzy.
COMMENTS
try wax lmao
it will hurt like a bitch but will only be for a few seconds then you don't have to shave for a while lol
I have very mixed feelings over the situation with Tina. I've become really attached to her but I'm tired of feeling neglected and/or unwanted. On top of that, if I move back to IA she won't be moving with me. She says she's willing to do a long distance relationship but I don't think our relationship will work as one, she can barely pay attention to me when I'm in person and even less over the phone or net. How much of a relationship can there be if there's only one person in it? *sighs* All I really know is that I want my partner to be as much in our relationship as I am and she just doesn't seem to be able to be, it's starting to bother me more and more.
COMMENTS
If you have voiced your concerns with her and explained how you feel, and she still isnt responding, you shoulda probably cut your loses.
What the hell?! This is the second day in a row that I've gone to bed between 9-9:30 feeling really exhausted and then suddenly woken up around 1:30 for no appaerent reason and just been awake. What's up with this?
I want to write something here right now but it's stuck in my head, I hate it when that happens. Tch.
It's true that anger and depression are closely linked. Everytime I get really angry and I manage to get it under control it usually turns into a mixture of anger and depression that feels like a pit of despair.
That was not good. I really came close to completely losing it right then. I actually had to step away from the stupid woman because I didn't know if I could keep myself from becoming violent if she kept going, as it was it took a lot of effort to keep myself in check at a distance and it had me in a whole body shake that looked like a mild seizure. I'm down to minor vibrations and various twitches off and on here and there. I knew she was a little brainless but I didn't know she lacked that much common sense. I mean, when somebody is so angry they're shaking and are visibly restraining themself if you have half a wit you get away from them. I was barely keeping myself from screaming before she got smart enough to get away from me. I'm surface calm now thankfully but inside me I still feel like I'm at a dangerous level.
The dumb bitch kept talking about teamwork and how they asked her to come back and yada yada yada. The only reason she was asked to come back is because there was nobody else to call, I know the manager that was here then was planning to fire her as soon as she could get somebody to replace her. The thing about teamwork is, it takes effort from all parties to work as a team and that doesn't mean a couple here and there bowing down to one. Joint effort not 'I say do this and you do it' and I'll be damned if I'll go with that.
I discovered that as long as my old controller is plugged in when I turn on my PS2 it'll work. Which is great because that means I can do my combos in Mortal Kombat. I haven't played MK in a long time so it's taking some getting used to, I'm starting to be able to move more smoothly from one set of combos to anther and that's especially when moving from ground to air. Knock the s.o.b. in the air with a single smash or a combo and then jump up there and enter into another combo. Once they land and start to get back up you start in on them with a coupl specials and/or another combo. I'm still not at a high level of skill but I'm working on it, they're definitely more affective against a human opponent than the cpu. My main disappointment in this game so far is that it doesn't have the classic finishing moves, like turning into a dragon and biting your opponent's head off or draining their soul. Also, if they're going to have an after story why not do end movies like they have in Tekken?
I had an interesting dream today, bizarre but interesting. It started out I was sitting in this room facing a wall while cutting myself all over and a voice behind me says, "You shouldn't do that you know." and my response is "I know, but I want to. I might stop since it's not working very well." Then I turn around to face the room and I see there 3 of me making a total of 4 counting myself. There was just plain ol' me and that's who I was, there was a me with shoulder length hair (I really miss my beautiful golden blond hair) and a goatee and he had a few piercings and more tattoos, there was me with shaggy but not long hair that was died black and had silver streaks in it and he also had the piercings and tattoos and he also had a pencil behind his ear and a fiddle laying by his hand, and there was another bald me chained to the wall and he was wearing mascara and eyeshadow and looked very pissed off and he was just sitting there staring at us (he also had the piercings and tattoos). I looked over at the other bald me for a moment, then the other two and I started talking.
Dark Haired me: *is drawing something and not looking up* We're going to have to let him go eventually you know.
Long Haired me: *sitting back with his arms crossed and some head phones in* He's right.
Me: I know but he's dangerous, we can barely even control him when he's like that.
Long Haired me: That's true but we need him, he has some very important parts of who we are.
Dark Haired me: Not to mention that we probably only got him like that because he let us, eventually he'll get loose on his own though.
Me: That would be bad.
Long Haired and Dark Haired: Heh, No joke.
Dark Haired me: Like he said though, he has some very important parts of us. We don't have much will without him and he had a lot of our passion.
Long Haired me: And without him we are even more messed up emotionally than before, irony or what?
Me: I know all this, but even if we wanted to let him go do any of us know how?
Both: *shrug*
Dark Haired me: I assumed that was his department. *points thumb at Long Haired*
Long Haired me: *shrugs and looks at me* I assumed you had a way, you are the one in charge after all.
Dark Haired me: Well I knew he didn't, he made the decision to do it but I don't think he really had any clue.
Long Haired me: You've got a point there.
All three of us: *sigh*
Me: So what do we do?
*silence*
After that I woke up. Very strange dream.
This is one of those times that it's a good thing the dentist filed down my right canine so it wouldn't be so sharp. I just dozed off for a little bit and I was biting my cheek when I did. If it weren't for the fact that it had been filed I'd have pierced the inside of my cheek, I know because it happened once before he did that.
I've had a recent increase in the number of people to block, most of them have just been temporary blocks to keep their stamp from altering my page until they cycle off but there have been a few that have just been straight up blocked. It's not hard to be respectful when visiting another's place is it? I would hope not but it's beginning to look like it is for some. At the very least you should keep your mouth shut if it is.
Wow, I'm just amazing. *rolls eyes at self* I was on my friend's profile on facebook and I happened to notice that their relationship status had been changed to being in a relationship with some guy and I instantly felt angry and violent toward him. I mean, how dare he be dating a girl I'm not and is (so far as I know) not interested in me while I'm in a relationship with a different girl. Some nerve. You know, I used to have a crush on her and I thought I didn't anymore but I guess I proved me wrong. What makes it even worse is that she's apparently been dating him right around a month now. Ha ha ha, how pathetic I can be sometimes, getting jealous like that. It's amazing some of the things we don't notice because we take too much for granted. I really am an idiot sometimes.
You know, I'm kind of strange in a way when it comes to my friendships. Most of the friends I've had have either been the ones to approach me or we simply came together, there have been those rare people that for some reason I've more or less randomly decided that I wanted to be their friend. The last time this happened was with MorphineDream08 (no longer a member of this site but I still have contact with her) and I don't know exactly what made me decide that. I know one thing I liked was that in her profile she indirectly challenged me to become her friend and I say me because I doubt there are many other people in this world who would have taken what she said that way, I still get a little chuckle when I remember how I messaged her to tell her that I accepted her challenge. That wasn't the only thing that made me interested though but I just can't say what else there was. The best way I can describe the feeling that I get at these times is it feels like a pleased grin and a deep but silent chuckle and it has the feeling of 'yes, this one'. I know that sounds crazy. At the moment I feel that I have become determined to become their friend.
I really hope I get this other job, if for no other reason than that it means I'll be able to quite this one. I was wrong about the stress being lowered until Sunday night, my little bit of relaxation was killed tonight.
COMMENTS
Dont worry, you'll get it and ifnot theres something else out there for you.
Why is it that all wedding djs seem to have the same music and it's almost all that crappy (no offence if you like it but I hate it) 80's pop and country? That shit makes me feel unpleasantly psychotic.
Dang it. It would seem that the directional pad on my controller is a little too sensitive. I can barely pull off any of the special moves I'm trying because almost every time I press forward or back it jumps or ducks as well, as a result I have maybe a 10% success rate and I keep getting my ass kicked. I could probably do better if I just mashed buttons but that drives me nuts. To top it off my other controller doesn't even work. Grrrrrr.
Sweet. I was just sitting around listening to music and thinking how fun it would be to hang with everyone and play games like we used to when I suddenly remembered that I still had money on my Edge card for Gamestop. So I went and bought Mortal Kombat: Armegeddon. I hope it's worth it.
Ha ha haahh! Yes! I have an interview for the restaurant/cafe/brewery at 2p.m. on Friday the 29th! Awesome! So I'm road trippin' that day, obviously. I figure it's supposed to be a 6-6.5 hour drive from here to there but I want to get to town early so I'll leave here from 8:30-9 in the morning to give me an hour or so to chill before I have to be in.
I did some updating to the playlist on my profile, I think it's pretty good. It has 20 songs now and I think that's the number it'll stay at.
You know I really want to watch something if I'm going through the torture of watching it on a youku player.
It's WONDERFUL to be driving again, I can't tell you how much but even with as much as I'm enjoying it I've determined that I won't start driving everywhere just because I can. I definitely still need to walk where I need to go too.
*sighs* So I have a licence, I have a car, I have insurance... This is a pleasant thing. It's definitely been good for reducing my current stress level, I doubt that'll last past Sunday night though. Heh, I think I might go to Burger King JUST so I can go through the drive thru, that might not be very nice though since my exhaust isn't very pleasant at the moment. It's very clearly burning oil, it's more obvious now than it was before but the mechanic I talked to said that's probably because it's been sitting so long and that after a while it will probably tone down a bit. My main issue now is that the windows won't roll down, I think I'll need to do something about them a.s.a.p.
YES! I've got my licence and I got my car running! Now all that's left to do is to shop around for insurance. I went in a little bit ago to shedule a check up for it on tuesday so I'll know before anything falls apart and might possibly be able to fix it.
I would really love to be completely and blissfully unaware of myself and existence right this moment.
Well, the good news is that Iowa finally said I can drive. Apparently the lady I talked to the last time when I re-faxed my change of residency made it a point to nag the people that input that stuff. The bad news is that I failed the test... They were all minor things, mostly just minor differences in the what I was taught in IA and what they teach here but there was one that I feel stupid for getting wrong. I can go back tomorrow to try again and I think between now and then I'm going to do a bit of studying... Jeez, if any of my teachers from high school heard that I think their brains would shut down from the shock.
I am so pissed off right now, if one more thing even so much as slightly irritates me I'm probably going to snap. I'm am at that level where I am completely calm on the surface but my whole body is shaking from anger. I want to fucking kill someone right now.
I don't know why but my knee is really aching tonight, it's driving me nuts. It just occurred to me, it's probably an odd thing that the pain is more of a nuisance than an actual discomfort isn't it?
It would seem that the timers on Boggled don't agree with the work computer.
Yum, chicken strips with spicy bbq sauce and Zesties, though the chicken 'strips' are more like elongated nuggets than what you get at restaurants.
On a different topic, powerade bottles make the best water bottles. Simply great for re-using. So do gatorade sport bottles.
Bwah hah ha ha hahh!! I am triumphant! My stubborness is so powerful that even I cannot overcome it! I had determined that I would have no more pizza at LEAST until next payday but I was arguing, it wanted pizza but I kept saying no. Finally, I got up to poke around my cupboards and what not to inventory my supplies and see if there was anything that interested me even the slightest. Upon opening the freezer I hit the jackpot! I found that I still had 1 and another partial bag of Zesties, chicken strips, Hormel pre-cooked microwaveable pork chops in gravy, hash browns, a pound of hamburger, popcorn chicken, a box of Hot n Spicy chicken wings, and some chicken breasts (yes I know that's a lot of chicken but you don't find much beef or pork in the frozen foods aisle) that I have absolutely no memory of, they were sitting there in a bag but I have absolutely no clue how they got there. Upon seeing this I have a vague recollection of purchasing some of them but I don't know why I forgot. Plus I still have little smokies in my fridge that I forgot about. I think I really should pay more attention to what I keep in there. All things considered I think this will save me a decent amount of money in the coming weeks, well I suppose not technically since the money has already been spent on those items but that just means that I don't have to spend more on food when I already have some. I also apparently still have a box of Velveeta shells and chees, a couple things of ramen, a couple cans of ravioli, a box of instant mashed potatoes, some oatmeal, a box of popcorn (I'm not a big fan but once in a while it makes a nice snack), and 1 or 2 cans of tomatoe soup. I think I should get some american and some bread in the next few days so I can have grilled cheese.
Phew, Just got back home from calling about that interview. Of course the lady I need to talk to was in a meeting and I had to leave a message. Went up to SuperX for my last Coke for a while, I've been wating to get it until I really REALLY wanted it, and then I went to Subway to get some chow. Now I'm sitting at home in the cooler air of my apartment (thank whatever powers that I can call it that) chillin' and I'm going to put in Underworld Evolution.
Feh, hot again but thankfully not as bad as yesterday. I couldn't believ it yesterday, it was cooler outside than in my place and it was 98 outside. I shudder to think what it was in here.
Well, I think I'll hop in the shower and then head to use a phone with long distance.
I'm not surprised, I figured it would be this, Violence Fetish, or something along those lines.

So things are potentially looking good. I might have a $15/hour job and if I get that I might have a nice $395/month flat in a decent area with brick walls and hardwood floors. So here's hopin'! *crossses fingers*
Fehh, It's hot. It broke 90 outside today but the interesting thing is at that point it was signifigantly cooler outside than it was in my apartment. Not cool (no pun intended). I woke up and the heat and pressure in my apartment felt disorienting. After I got up, drank some water, and took a cool shower it was better but still horrible. I was dreading stepping outside but when I did there was an instant difference for the better. I don't really think that's a good thing since I sleep during the day, if it gets that hot in here I could have a heat stroke in my sleep and just never wake up. While that wouldn't necessarily be a bad way to go I don't want to just yet if I don't have to.
COMMENTS
Easy solution...leave your windows open. As soon as i wake up or get home my windows are open :)
That's the really bad part, they've all been open for the past few days.
I just got done sitting through a 3 hour customer service seminar. It wouldn't be so bad except that if you've ever had decent customer service training you've heard all of it in one form or another... I've had several of these training sessions, this was probably somewhere between the 5-8th time I've had this instruction. I feel like killing someone now.
Sweet. I just got a call from a brewery/cafe/restaurant in DSM this morning, I applied for a job there because they had an ad out and they were offering $15/hour. They want me to come in for an interview, the problem is that they're a few hour drive away. I'm gonig to see if they'll do a phone interview and if not I'll have to work something else out. Maybe after I get my next paycheck I should go on and move there and let my landlords keep my deposit? Hmmm, we'll see.
Sometimes I wonder, why is it that if a male character in an anime has multiple love interests that it's almost always the one who deserves him the least that he goes for? It's almost always the one who constantly mistreats him and is emotionally stunted.
So I've decided since all my attempts to lose weight have failed mostly due to my recent-ish lack of will power that I will try something I can get into... I'm going to be like Jared! That's right, a Subway diet. Now now, I know you're probably laughing or rolling your eyes at me but there is logic to it. Their food is considerable better for me than what I usually eat for one, secondly it's cheaper if I order right. Look at it from this point of view, if I only order 6 in. subs I can use them to manage the quality, quantity, AND cost of my daily food. It's a win/win situation! Food I like for a price I like that's reasonably good for me. I still intend to do my 1-2 mile walk each day too. Plus, if I add in a powerade to the order of a sub I'll be able to treat my flavored drink craving in place of soda pop.
COMMENTS
Dont drink powerade, its only good for rehydration but is FILLED WITH SUGAR! Not going to do anything for you. Drink water.. if you hate waer, get those crystal light things to give it a flavor... way better.
Also, sure eating subs may seem cheaper but trust me, its way cheaper in the long run to by your own buns, your own meat and sauces and veggies... WAY CHEAPER. For the price of one weeks worth of subs you can buy 2-3 weeks worth of stuff for your own real food, not freezer to oven, processed bacon,meatballs and lettuce subs. :)
Better for you too.
I know, I've tried that and I just didn't manage to stick with this because for some reason I just wasn't committed enough. Don't get me wrong on this, I'm not doing this as an every meal thing. I had considered that but I realised it would be foolish so instead I'm only using it as my junk food substitute.
This is one of those times where it feels like the turmoil in my head goes deeper than that. At these times I get this feeling in my chest, I wouldn't really call it a pressure but it's something like that. It feels like something trying to get out, I know that sounds corny but that's how it feels. Whatever it is, I can feel it coursing throught my limbs like energy and it seems to mix with the chaos in my head. It feels as good as it is torturous. Somewhere inside I also feel a maniacal laughter, suppressed but there none the less. *chuckles* I probably really am crazy. *sighs*
Well, my spurt of motivation seems to have ended and I'm back to generally not giving a shit. It's annoying. I have the desire but not the will. Unending and unbeatable will power used to be my thing but now? *shakes head* For a long time I was the kind of guy that when his mind was set that was that, then after that I still had enough will to hold my ground even if there wasn't enough for me to step forward, and now I'm slowly but surely slipping. What's happened to me?
Jeez. I worked until 9 this morning instead of 7 because the girl who was supposed tobe working never showed and I could only get her voice mail, that's cool with me though since it's 2 hours ov OT. Now the GM calls me and asks if I can come in at 9 tonight instead of 11 because the 3-11 girl (the one I hate) has called in sick, I'll with that since that'll bump me to 4 hours of OT. He can't man the front desk alll day though because he has his own work to do so he's got one of the gals (the one that I'm always saying things to that can get me sued) from the restaurant covering it for a couple hours.
Why is it that people only decide they need/want something from me right as I'm at a spot in a game that I can't afford to look away from?
You know, this probably makes me a total sap, but I actually like the romance aspect in most anime. I've started watching one I've never seen before called Ai Yori Aoshi, it is a straight up romance with some comedy but so far I like it. I can't say for sure if I will continue liking it since I've only seen two episodes so far but we'll see.
It's odd, my eyes say I'm tired but the rest of me doesn't agree. This is almost always how it is, sometimes the rest of me agrees but not often. Oh well, perhaps I'll take a nap.
Ha, wow I'm brilliant. I went to email my resume to someone only to realize that I don't have it on this computer, so now I have to wait until I get the other comp hooked up. Grrr.
Wait a minute... How is it that Boggled here on VR does not recognize 'zen' as a word?
Wow, nice. I just hooked the monitor I got yesterday up to the computer I got, it's probably the nicest monitor I've ever owned. I've decided this monitor is for gaming, that'll probably be the main purpose of this computer once I get another power cord so I can run them both.
Oh my god oh my god oh my god!!!!.... They've turned Blood the Last Vampire into a live action film and it looks like it's high budget too!!!!
So, I was bad and splurged a little, I had to take the money out of what I had set aside for necessities for the month but I won't regret it. I got the Underworld dvd trilogy set and a new mp3 player, the player is a 1GB and it was only $19.88. I also got a surge protector, I only had one and I felt I needed another.I'll have to wait until this afternoon to get a power cord for my other computer. Fucking Wal-Mart doesn't carry them at this location anymore. Oh well, they're cheaper at the pawn shop anyway. I got a new t-shirt while I was there, it almost fits me but not quite. That means I can't really wear it yet but it's an incentive for me to keep up with my determination to lose weight and keep it off.
I think I shall walk down to Wal-Mart before the sun comes up. That will be nice.
Wow, yeah I'd say I'm definitely WAY too out of shape if carrying an average computer monitor 5 or so blocks causes me this much grief. I'm not the heaviest I've ever been thankfully but I'm definitely more unfit than ever before.
Sweet. I've got the majority of my music library copying to my new computer, I'll have to figure out how to get the rest of it over later. I should go see about getting another monitor and spare power cord so I can have them both up and running at the same time.
That's odd. Why would VR give me the message when I click the link to somebody's profile in the list that the user doesn't exist?

If they didn't enter certain things, like gender, it can't see them. Weird/cool, huh?
Well I'll be, I did not know that. It's certainly interesting.
Ha. No freaking way. This computer is easily 2 years older than miy old one but it has the same processor speed and the same RAM. How sad is that? I'm going to find out if the memory from the other is compatible with this one, if it is I may just upgrade one of them to 1GB with the other's gear. Or on second thought, I'll keep them seperate until I get another better computer and then I'll combine them so that I have two great computers and until that happens I'll have two decent computers.
Ooohhh yeah baby! Double bonus! I was looking for a pen to fill out the form that I had to fax and accidentally found my system recovery disk, that was freakin' awesome! Then I go up to work to use the fax machine and Julia tells me the GM said I could have the extra computer in the back, the only thing we know is wrong with it is the net won't connect so I was going to buy it and fix it but he just let me have it... Fuckin' SWEET! Those two discoveries just made my day go from naggingly irritating to pretty damn good.
Now I'm going to go hook up the other comp to see what I can do with it.
Ho-ly hell... I just became an Otep fan. I mean, holy fuck their music ROCKS!
I was talking to a French guy this one time and I asked him to teach me some insults (I was 15 ok?) and I have to say that I love and agree with his reply. He told me "If you are talking to someone that does not speak French everything is an insult. It's all about the way you say it." If you know any French words or phrases you should try it sometime, just say it with some attitude/disgust in your voice and tell me that isn't true.
On a loosely related topic. The song Baby Baby Baby by Make the Girl Dance is fun to listen to even though it's not my usual taste.
I just did a little updating to my resume and sent it to the Ramada Inn that requested it. I just hope they're interested. If they are that will mean that I can back in a month or so, barring complications.
I'm lucky that Vi is so cool with me, if she really wanted to she could bring sexual harrassment charges against me for almost everything I say to her. Like the other morning when she came in to open the restaurant she asked if I had the money for her and I responded that I usually only give money to women who are taking their clothes off for me and winked at her, that's a mild example compared to some of the things I've said. Then again, if I didn't know she was ok with it I wouldn't say it.
Hmm, there's a slight chance I may have a job lined up back in IA. It would unfortunately be a hotel but something's better than nothing. I'll have to see.
Tina told me she's never seen The Incredibles and I couldn't believe it. So tonight I took it over there and watched it with her and after that we watched Jack-Jack Attack. The Incredibles has to be one of my favorite movies just because it's so funny and when paired with the short Jack-Jack Attack... Friggin' hilarious. The first time I ever watched these two I ended up busting a vein in my eye because I laughed too hard. If you hate laughter than this isn't the movie for you.
Woops, looks like I'll go to the license station and take care of that tomorrow. I was going to do it today but while I was sitting here waiting until it would be open I passed out, I didn't even stir until a few minutes ago when the UPS guy knocked on my door.
On that note, my new jeans arrived today! I'm so happy, I was getting tired of wearing the same tattered jeans each day. Even better is the fact that they fit me better than my Wranglers! So in a sense I guess I should be thankful Wal-Mart is a bastard company.
Oooh, I think I'll take the ground beef out of the freezer and make burgers today. Other than that, the first part of my day is going to be spent cleaning and after that I don't know. Hopefully the jeans I ordered will get here today. Oh yeah, I also have to go to the license station to see if I can actually get my driver's license yet or if I can only get the form filled out that I need to send to IA so they know I don't live there anymore and after they get that I'm able to get it. I guess I'll find out.
Honestly, do I not cover this in my profile? The only thing about this that bothers me is that the person bothered to leave the comment explaining it.

I had a very peaceful/pleasant dream today. There wasn't much to it. I was laying in the grass relaxing to the sound of a soft breeze, there was a woman next to me with her head on my chest and somewhere in the background there was water. It was twilight and in my dream I had either been sleeping before or I was drifting in and out, at least that's the feeling I got from it. It was very nice.
GRRR. I'm awake early and I am so freakin' hungry it's unbelievable!
I'm glad I signed up for those e-news letters from Men's Health. I just got some great ideas to enhance my daily exercise, make it more interesting and therefore more likely that I'll stay motivated, and ways to help me exercise all day long without interfering with my daily life.
Well that was interesting. My computer locked up for a moment and when it unlocked my IE window was still frozen. After a moment a box popped up telling me "Internet Explorer has encountered an error and needs to close" so I click don't send and wait for it all to go away so I can re-open it. After a moment the page I was trying to load in the tab I was working in finishes loading and the other tab I have open pops down this little message telling me "This tab has been recovered" and IE just goes on as if nothing happened. I thought it was supposed to close, not fix itself and act like nothing ever happend.
You know, in general I find full skirts to be more attractive than mini skirts. There are times when a mini skirt is better but to me they're just not everyday wear, there are also some times that I'm just in the mood to see girls in mini skirts too. All in all though, I have a preference for full skirts.
Time for a guy moment.
There's a Japanese lady staying here. God she's hot. Don't get me wrong, she's pretty but it isn't like she's exceptionally so. The thing is, I have a thing for Japanese women. For some reason if you put two equally attractive women next to each other, if one is Japanese and the other isn't the one who is will seem more attractive to me, unless of course the other girl has an Irish accent because that would even the odds. To add to it, she's an older woman who still has great looks. That together makes her really freaking hot. Don't look at me that way, I don't decide these things they just are.
WARNING: May be taken offensively but it is not meant that way.
This is something that bugs me. This is a common mistake I find amongst those who profess to be Christians. Many of them seem to be under the impression that devil, satan, and lucifer are names, this is not the case however. All three of those are actually just titles. Lucifer refers to 'an angel of light'. In the bible there is a place in which the angel that is said to lead the rebellion against god is referred to as 'satan the devil', this is the main reason in my experience why people take these as names. Satan refers to 'one who opposes' and devil to 'someone with a slanderous tongue' and put together the way they are it means 'opposer the slanderer'. These are not names, the name of the particular angel these are used to refer to is never mentioned in any of the versions of the bible available to the public. Whether or not it is in the original scrolls is beyond my knowledge.
I feel like doing some sit ups. *shrugs* Who am I to argue with such an urge?
I just realised that I forgot the drawing I did and my pencil at work today. Odds are they both got tossed. Damn it.
Tch, I hate megavideo. Why does almost everyone put their anime on it when there are better sites out there for it?
I don't know what exactly has gotten into me but suddenly I really want to take a psych class. I mean why not? I keep saying that I want to further my education but something always comes up. At the least I could take a course here and there until I can do more and that way I can knock some of the requirements for a degree out of the way during the time I can't actually do anything else. For cryin' out loud, it isn't like I don't have almost 8 hours each night to work on the homework and the time spent at class would be what, 1 hour? 1 and a half? The point is that one class wouldn't occupy enough of my day to interfere with sleeping. The main question right now is, how much would it cost?
*sighs* The box just isn't as fun without Morrigon in there talking about tits and pants... Believe it or not, that isn't near as perverted as it sounds.
I just drew, I suppose you'd call it an abstract design. I really don't have any clue what it is. I set my pencil to the paper with the intention of drawing a dragon and for some reason it drew this instead. *shrugs* I'll post it later when I get the chance.
Wow, that's just... I don't know what to call it. I dozed off for a moment sitting here and when I woke up a few minutes later I did so with the feeling that I was late for work and jumped up to get ready, the problem with that is that I'm at work.
Sometimes you wish you could do or say something worth while, something to make things better for another, but as you try to you realize that there's nothing you can do or say that matters. It's not a good feeling.
I've been seeing ads for the new Night at the Museum sequel coming out and it looks funny so I decided to go watch the first one. I had thought it would be really stupid before I saw the previews for the other one and after watching it I know I was wrong. It may be a little bit of a cheese fest but it's really funny. All in all I'd say that if you're a fan of comedy it's worth it.
I talked to Tina tonight, the whole time I had this aching fear twisting inside me. I really didn't want to end it with her. Thankfully things are worked out for now, as usual it turns out that our problems are mostly just me over-thinking. At this point I would do just about anything I could if it would grant even a mere five seconds of relief from my own mind, because even five seconds would feel like an unbelievable ecstasy. If I did get that relief my mind would probably collapse under the pressure when it all came back.
On a semi-related note. The new Star Trek movie is FUCKING AWESOME!!!! My mind is far too chaotic right now for me to say more than that.
Feeling clean feels good. I just got out of the shower and now I'm debating on whether I'm going to start working on the dishes that I've been putting off doing. One thing's for sure, I need to put down some food.
Tina's going to call me when she's almost done with work. Hopefully she'll come over so I can talk to her. I've decided that I'm just going to come out completely about how I'm feeling and what not since it's the only way I can think of to say it and depending on the way the conversation goes will decide on my actions after that.
Shit. I laid down today at around 3 and set my alarm clock for 6. I was only intending to take a nap since I hadn't been to bed but I didn't wake up until a few minutes ago. I must have been more tired than I realized.
*sighs* Ok, I'm done for the day.
You know, I was looking at it the other day and I realised that the main lobby area with some minor adjustments would make an awesome intimate style night club/lounge. A little bit of work on the stairs could turn them into a two tier balcony, reinforce the first tier and it could be a stage for a band or a dj and you could have the second tier set aside for v.i.p.s and such. The three offices off the lobby could be rooms reserved for small groups. there's plenty of room for seating and dancing. The front desk is already a great set up for a bar.l It would be so kick ass and we'd probably make more money that way. Hell, remodel whole thing by taking out the rooms on the upper floors and make the place multi-tiered with more seating and dance area.
That's what I'm talkin' about! Kick ass fries and chicken strips with some Famous Dave's Devil's Spit BBQ Sauce.... Ooohhhh yeah.
I'm actually getting things done. I finally got around to mailing out the $200 I owe IA and I put my license plates on my car. Though when I went to start it to move it and make sure it still works I got nothing, then I look over and see that apparently the last time I moved it I left the glove box open. I'm working on getting this place straightened up, I've decided that once I've got it clean I'm going to make a video introduction to put on my profile. Here in a moment I need to go down and check on the load in the dryer and possibly take it out, if that's done I can do my dishes.
So with my next paycheck I'll be buying a new car battery, probably a simple set of tools to keep in my car, some oil, some laundry soap (I'm not out but I'm running low), some dish soap (same), probably an antenna because some jack stole mine, and a car wash (maybe I'll get lucky and there'll be some girls doing a car wash fundraiser, heh heh, nah). I'll hopefully be able to get my license on thursday. Hopefully that's it.
Holy hell. The hallway on the first floor smells like they've got people with really sweaty feet that haven't changed their socks in a week or two lining the hall.
Well, I did what I wanted to do now it's time to get back to work.
I'm bored, I'm hungry, I need to do laundry, and I need to clean. I think I'll go get some quarters to do laundry and when I get home I'll put on some music and clean. Shoot, I just looked at the clock and it's only about 7 and the bank won't even have their drive up open until 8:30. I suppose I could hit the ATM for a 20 and then bug work for a roll of quarters. Yeah, that sounds good.
Leave it to me to notice that you can see nipple in one of the images in one of the ad banners.
That's strange. There were a couple people on my blocked list and I have no clue how they got there. Two of them I've only recently seen their usernames, I don't remember going to their profiles either but they were blocked.
Gah, I'm getting hungry. The question is should I make myself wait to eat until I get up off my lazy ass and do the dishes I need to eat the non-frozen pizza food I bought or should I go and eat one of the two pizzas in my freezer and do my dishes later so that I can have that stuff later in the day? For now I'm going to wait a little while to see if it's a real hunger or a false one.
I'm running a little low on options now, I'm down to a pair of pants that are about 1.5-2 sizes too small and a pair that has wholes in the knees and a bunch of paint stains. So I'm either going to have to go to Wal-Mart to get something that fits but not comfortably and is affordably cheap or I'm going to have shell out the money for something that fits comfortably. I'm going to have to get at least one pair of pants from Wal-Mart.
I don't know why but lately I've been in the mood to hear Poison by Alice Cooper.
I've been wanting to make some changes to my journal for a while now but I couldn't figure out what to do with it. I think I've go it now, all that is left to do is to clear out one of the sections and then stick with the way I've set it. It's strange, making these small changes has made me feel a little good as thought things are slightly righter. (Have you ever noticed that 'righter' doesn't sound right? It's the right way to say it but it sounds like it should me more right. At least it does to me.)
This sucks. All my jeans now have nice wholes in the crotch. I can't buy more at Wal-Mart where I usually would because the company stopped carrying the ones I can wear comfortably in the styles I like. So Aunt Trish tells me I should buy my jeans at The Buckle, I go to their website to check 'em out and thought about just going and stealing my jeans from somewhere. It normally costs me between $15-$18 for a pair of jeans but if I get them at the Buckle I'm looking at a minimum of $36 as far as I can tell. Jeans just aren't worth that much, especially since they only last me a few months. *sighs* So now what do I do?
For a while I was thinking that Tina's and my relationship was just progressing really slow, now I've come to realize more and more that it isn't that it's progressing slow but going nowhere and I'm beginning to feel that's as far as it will ever go. Where we are right now, that's the whole thing. I believe part of it is that she doesn't really want to be with me, I've said before that it seems that she doesn't want to be with me so much as she wants to be with somebody, that really would explain a lot. That would actually explain all her behavior toward me. I've started noticing more and more that our desires in life don't really go together, she's content right where she is and with how things are in her life and I'm really not. If I can ever get myself figured out I would like to further myself and find a good job that I enjoy and I don't want to stay in this town. I used to think that I didn't like living in Iowa but now I've come to realize it wasn't Iowa that was the problem, I was just dissatisfied with the way things were in my life but now I'm that and I don't like where I live. Go figure. I've noticed that we're bickering more and more lately too. Etc... When it comes down to it I don't think things will go well if we stay together, I think we'll either end up having a nasty falling out or we'll both stay in the relationship and end up bitter toward each other. I don't want either. I honestly think it's the right thing for us to break up but I'll be honest and say that I'm really lacking the courage to do it. I know it will hurt both of us and I don't want that, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't also partly because I'm afraid that if I break up with her that I'll end up alone for the rest of my life. That's really pathetic though. So now I don't know what to do, I don't know if I should just stay with it and hope it gets better or if I should go with my gut and end it. *sighs*
I got bored and started poking around ebay and happened upon a nice pc listed that's ending soon and only had one bid of .99. So just because I felt like it I set a maximum bid of $10.72 and now I'm currently the high bidder. As long as nobody else bids on it I'll be getting a new computer for under $2
I don't know why but I feel really disconnected at the moment.
Almost time for work. I don't particularly feel like going but that's what I get paid for, I really need to find a job that doesn't involve sitting on my ass for the most of 8 hours.
I should go to bed, I don't really feel tired so much as I feel like I could sleep if I try and it is around that time for me. On the other hand I'm not really in the mood to go to bed and I'm really hungry. Hmm...
It's a good thing I started my audit early tonight. I'm sitting there going through the room charge tickets from the restaurant and I happen to notice one says 7.89 is the end total but the person who put it in put it as 7.13. So I roll my eyes and go to change it when I notice that there are two different sets of math done on this ticket. I stop and I look at it and I see that the first is the original math and the the second set is what was done for the 10% discount coupon used on it. I double check it and that math is right so the total without tip comes to 5.97, there's a 1.50 tip on it so that brings it to 7.47 but that number is nowhere to be found on it. I really want to know how we get from either 7.13 or 7.47 to 7.89. I'd also like to know how they managed on the original total to add the 1.50 tip to the total of 6.63 and get 7.13. Obviously our servers can't do math and I'm left wondering why they aren't using calculators. Another interesting bit I noticed a little bit ago is that on one of the bar tickets a guy was charged 10% tax... Yeah, I'd say something needs to change with the way we're doing tickets over there.
Nice. Just friggin' wonderful. A guy comes to check in and I give him his room keys, he goes up to his room and has a little red light flash at him when he runs the key through... A red light means that somebody inside the room has deadbolted the door, meaning that there's already somebody in that room but nobody is in the computer as being in there adn that means that the day staff aren't doing their fucking jobs. I mean really, how hard is it to remember to mark a change in somebody's room number or that you've put somebody in a room in the computer? It takes a maximum of 4 clicks of the mouse, no more effort than that. So I had to give the other guy a new room, at least he didn't walk in on anything but now I'm left wondering who the hell is occupying that room and isn't put into the computer. I'm certainly not going to call up and disturb them because the 3-11 person (the chic I hate and is supposed to be a supervisor) fucked up.
I've done almost everything I can to fix my slowly but surely growing trouble with achne. It's all on my forehead and a little on my scalp. I know it's because they've both become oily but I don't know why they have, they both used to be fairly dry. I've done just about everything I can think of but the last thing there is is change in types of soap that I'm using. I used to use bar soap and shampoo but since I don't actually have any hair up there and I thought it would work better for both I've been using body wash. So the first thing I'm going to try is switching back to bar soap and if that doesn't solve it I'll see if using the shampoo that I used to will make a difference. After that the only other possible thing I could think of to be causing this is if something is out of whack in my system.
I learned something today, you shouldn't put money into the vending machine right before lightning makes the power flicker.
I just got back from a walk, damn it feels nice out. There's a storm headin' this way it looks like and it's just now starting to rain, I think I'll step back outside for a moment to enjoy it.
COMMENTS
Thankfully it did start raining.
It's awesome isn't it?
Very much so. I just hope it lasts a while.
I just went to take a drink of water, I turned on the faucet and..... nothing but gurgling noises. I turned it off and waited a moment, I turned it back on and got more gurgling noises and then after a moment a small flow of water started coming out. At least it was beautifully ice cold.
I didn't get to sleep until about noon because I was playing Combat Arms and then eating. Now I'm up and I have nothing to do. I tried calling Tina because I was hoping to see her today but she didn't answer and that means she's not home right now, which means I won't see her before work. I think I might go play some more Combat Arms.
I traded my give a shit in for the much more user friendly don't give a shit.
Uh oh, I lost my temper a bit and hit something solid. I'm not sure if I did damage to my hand but it is bruising and feels odd, I think I'll go ice it.
I'm sitting here at work chillin' with some tunes and thinking as always. I've been reflecting on my life and such. You know, I'm really not satisfied with anything right now. I'm not satisfied with where I am, with how much I'm used at work, my emotional/mental state, my relationship, or just about everything else. I really don't care for this town, it's slowly dying and there's nothing here to do for me. Everybody where I work gets railroaded because the guy that owns the company doesn't give half a shit about any of his employees. My emotions go back and forth and up and down like somebody's using them for a yo-yo contest and I'm a lot of it stems from stress that I can't seem to shake, that's taken me to state of apathy that's allowed me to become more out of shape than I am willing to accept. sure you can even call my relationship that, we're barely more than friends but we honestly don't communicate enough that I'd say we were even that if we weren't dating because I talk and that's it so I might as well be talking to myself most of the time. Etc... I would say it's time for a change but right now I'm not in a position for that. What I really want right now is to get a different job in a different place and figure out something about school but I need to save up more money for that and I'd like my relationship with Tina to develop but I honestly don't think it will because there's just something there in the way or something isn't there that should be, your guess is as good as mine.
So what I think I'm going to do is save up the money to move back to Des Moines and find a job and a place there, once there I'll look into going to DMACC like I was before I moved, if Tina wants to come with I'll be happy but I already know the answer to that and if that's the way it has to be than I guess that's the way it has to be. There's some time before then so hopefully something will change by that time. I think I should get my teeth fixed here before I do that too since it's cheaper here than it would be in DM.
I think I'm going to get dressed and go for some Subway. After that I'll come home and do something non-antisocial and maybe even something productive.
Tonight I did something very, well, me. Some hot girls were in here and I knew one of them, they wanted to go skinny dipping. I did what pre-social lifeless me would have done, I gave them access to the pool and, well I can't honestly say I looked the other way. For a while now I haven't been the kind of guy to do that or much of anything else that I'm not supposed to other than speeding, that part of me just hasn't seemed to be there anymore. I'm not sure why I haven't been that way or why I suddenly was. *shrugs shoulders*

Ummm, you did not join them or say something like "Entry is conditional to me joining you and a nice back rub and if you are lucky I may return the favor"...DUDE! C'mon...
Checkin' them out and flirting is one thing but I won't touch unless my girl knows and is ok with it, I won't cheat.
Sweet. OT today. The chic at work that I really hate is faking being sick (you could tell by looking at her that she was trying to look ill) so the GM asked if I'd come in at 8. Pssh, no problem there, I have absolutely no problem with sanctioned OT. Let her shrink her paycheck and fatten mine.
I am happier right this moment than I have been for a little while. I just heard from my brother and it's been about a year since I have. I've felt really alone without him in my life, just like when I was stuck with my mother and he moved.
I was dreaming I was visiting my father and brother. While they were doing someting in the kitchen I was in the living room. They had a ps1 and an Atari hooked up and there was a cartridge in the Atari but it was in the way you put it in with the old Nintendo with the flip open slot. The cartridge was Pac Man and when I pulled it out of the system it turned the tv on. I shut off the tv and went into the kitchen and asked them if they ever played the Atari, they said no and my dad said he didn't like it. I asked if I could have it and my brother went and unhooked it from the tv and my dad offered my a vcr he didn't use but I told him that I already had a different one he gave me and he rolled his eyes at me and set it down. From there I went back into the living room and my dad and brother went upstairs. I was checking out their ps1 and for some reason the lid was cardboard. Then I heard my brother call my name from upstairs and ask me a question. I called back that I couldn't hear and he came down. He wanted to know if I knew whether it took a 350 or a 360 but I had no clue what he was talking about and said so. He told me that dad wanted to know if I knew whether it took a 350 battery or a 360, I told him I still didn't know what he was talking about and asked what it was. He got a frustrated tone and asked me again. I said I might know if I could look at it so he took me upstairs. Right before we reached the top he asks me if I know what 350 and 360 mean and I told him I wasn't sure but that I used to have a watch that had a 360 battery. We reach the top of the stairs and we have to duck under something to get in the room. Dad's on the phone and Luke goes over to him and I stand and wait. I look over to my left and there's a line of military people and one of them is one of my Drill Sergeants from basic and he waves at me. At the back of the line are 3 people, a hispanic guy I don't recognize, a woman who's face I can't see, and a dog standing on its back legs in uniform. Then a black woman in a blue dress comes over to me and stands there smiling at me, suddenly it occurs to me that I'm in her way and I ask if she needs me to move. She says no but I do anyway and she leaves. After I move the guy and girl at the back of the line start saying things to me. The guy says that I should've just asked her out and the woman says that if I need to go somewhere I should make sure to step on her son, the dog staired at me for a moment and I woke up.
It is a bizarre dream even for me. I find it interesting that I was able to remember so much detail from it, usually I can only vaguely remember my dreams.
Nice. I wanted to find out what that anime was so bad that I posted a question on Yahoo! Answers. As soon as I did that I went back to looking for something to watch on anivide and happened upon the very one I so want to watch. What luck!
Damn it! This is driving me nuts! There was an anime I started to watch a while ago that I'd like to see more of but I can't remember the title or the names of any of the characters. All I can remember is that it was at this school that focused on martial arts and there was this girl who was the head of the kendo club and could change her size, in the beginning she looks like a small child but she suddenly changes to her true form during a fight. I really wish I could remember more.
Wow. That's a bad wow. I was just checking out this new anime called Queen's Blade, it looked pretty interesting but some jack subbed it in chat speak. That's fucking obnoxious.
I'm so bored. I don't have a real social life. This sucks.

Really? Do you have like $40? Go buy David DeAngelo's Double your dating and apply the methods, I promise you will have more social life than you know what to do with.
I have no trouble getting a date and I have a girl. I just don't have any friends or anywhere to hang other than home.
I am in the mood to just chill with some tunes. I think I'll put on some music, turn out the lights, and set my alarm clock just in case.
