I need money. That means I need a job. In order to get a job, I need some type of skill. I dont have any skills to speak of, and therein lies my problem. I've never worked a day in my life (not counting that time i had to do court-ordered community service by working at a Goodwill).
I was looking through the want ads on Craig's List and I couldnt help but notice something: most employers are looking for "motivated individuals with a pleasant and cheerful demeanor" who can "work with a smile on their face". Now, that doesnt seem like a big deal for you, but it does for me. If you ask any of my friends if had any of those qualities, they would either laugh or lie. Good for them.
Anyway, I'm gonna keep looking. If I cant make some money over the summer, I may not be able to attend college. I dont want to stay at home! SOMEONE HELP ME!!
I know I said I was going to make daily entries, but... well... shit happens, you know? Or in this case, nothing happens. The last few days have been pretty boring. I havent done anything cool and nothing's really happened to me.
Do you want to know what the biggest thing that's happened? I started playing World of Warcraft again. I know, it's not a big deal. Actually, it kind of is for ME. There's a reason for me saying that Im playing it AGAIN. That word implies that I played it before. What made to stop, you ask? Oh, nothing much. Just that the game took over my life for over a year. I did nothing but play that fuckin game for hours on end! I failed most of my classes. I nearly didnt graduate because of it!!
Well, anyway, I've decided to give it another chance. This time, though, I'm only playing when I have free time and only AFTER I've done any work I need to do. So far, I'm doing ok. We'll see how it goes.
Let's see... anything else?
Not really. All I've done is play video games, listen to music, read comics, and watch tv. You know, the usual stuff. I did go to the movies today. Went to see Knowing. It was ok. It kept me entertained for 2 hours, at least. Well, guess I'll go play Warcraft for a little while.
Yes, it does count. As long as I type something it counts!!
Did quite a bit of stuff today. Busy busy busy. Classes were mostly boring, but I still enjoyed being there. Had a lot of free time between classes, so I got a lot of reading done. V for Vendetta is such a great story. I'm really enjoying it quite a bit.
Spent a couple of hours at Seth's, where I finally used my Stompa against some of Sam's best units. I wiped most of them out in the first turn. XD Played some card games, then we went to get some ice cream. That's right: Ice Cream! It was hot today. XP
Spent a couple of hours with my gf. I'll spare you the details, but suffice it to say we are very happy together.
After that, I came home, showered, and here I am now. Amazing, I know. It's like I'm a superhero or something, isnt it?
Well, that's enough for today. Ciao!
Yeah, I didnt post anything yesterday. I KNOW. Shut up! XP
Well, lets see. Where should I start?
I guess the first thing I should mention is that I started building my Ork Stompa yesterday. After 7 hours of hard work, I finished it this morning at 10:30 am. I think it came out pretty well. I'll post some pictures soon. Maybe. I need a camera. :P
I purchased some new reading materials from Ralph's Comic Corner. I got the latest issue of Stephen King's The Stand. It's so cool. They did a really great job and are staying pretty faithful to the book. I cant wait to read the next one. I also purchased V for Vendetta. I've wanted to read this ever since I saw the movie and found out it was based on a comic. I havent had time to read much of it yet, but I will tomorrow. I'll have plenty of time.
I spent most of yesterday and today at my friend Sam's house, which is where I was putting together my Stompa. We have a little Warhammer Workshop in his "basement." Any time I didnt spend working on my model was spent either playing video games or just shooting the breeze.
Last friday, when I showed up I walked down the stairs to the basement, I found that two other friends had come over. Both were of the female gender, which surprised me even more. Now, what REALLY stays in my mind is the fact that I saw these two high school girls sitting on the couch with Sam, and what is he doing? Is he paying any attention to them? Nope. He's busy playing Halo 3 and talking to his friends via his headset. Now THAT, my friends, is what I call a truly devoted gamer! Still, we were able to pull him away from the games long enough to play some ping pong and basically just do a bunch of random shit. Good times were had by all. XD
As for today, I spent most of the morning building Ol' Stompy, so we didnt do much. We did get some game time in after I finished. A while later we went to Seth's Games and Anime for a little while. I needed to buy some primer, since my last can had pretty much run out. We played a few games, then we headed back to his place, where I was finally ablr to prime my model. Now it looks much better than it did before. Hooray!
All this stuff happened before 5 PM on both days. Why? Because I like to spend time with my girlfriend, which is what I do almost every afternoon. We usually spend our time talking about school, family, and just about anything we can think of. I try my hardest to make her smile, and whenever I can get her to laugh i feel like I've truly accomplished something good. Go ahead and make fun of me if you like, but I really dont care what anyone thinks. I love her, and nothing is going to change that any time soon.
Both yesterday and today I had to comfort her. She was feeling very sad and I did everything I could to cheer her up. I think it worked. I feel like I was really of some use. Of course, I believe that I would have done it even if we were just friends, because I dont want my friends to feel bad about anything. Anyway, we arent just friends. We are more than that, and I think that means it is my sworn duty to make sure she is happy. She deserves to be happy.
Well, I think that's about everything I felt like saying today. Other than falling down some stairs, not much else happened. Ah, well. Maybe tomorrow will have some new adventure for me.
Crap. I nearly forgot that I said I was going to do a daily post on this page. It's barely the second day! Not a good sign. XP
Anyway, I didnt really do anything today. I slept in, woke up, went to church, went to the mall for a while, then I came home and playes games and shit. I need to complete some more missions in GTA IV. I'm borrowing it from a friend and he wants it back. I need to buy my own copy of it soon. I wanna keep playing Lost and Damned!!
There was a small blackout a few hours ago. Nearly half the town lost power. I was spared, though. Lucky me. I was playing GTA at the time, so I'm glad the power didnt go out.
Well, that's all I have to say. Cant wait for tomorrow. I'll finally start building my new Ork Stompa! Oh, and I also have a test for my Psych 1 class. Crap. I need to study. Damn you, college!!!
Havent really done much in a while. I've just been going to school and playing games as usual. There is one thing I'm really excited about: I finally bought that Ork Stompa I wanted! It's gonna take a long time to put it together, but I dont care. It's gonna look awesome when I'm finished with it. It will also be the largest model I've ever built. I'll post a link to the official Games Workshop site with info and pictures. It's gonna be awesome!

Let's see... anything else I feel like talking about?... nah, I guess not.
This is a really boring blog, isnt it? I bet it would be more interesting if I was one of those guys whose girlfriends broke up with them and they start writing depressing poems and stuff. Unfortunately for you all, my love life is going pretty well right now. My girlfriend and I seem to get along really well. I dont know what her thoughts are on this, but I hope she agrees that we're doing ok.
Well, I guess that's everything I wanna say right now. Tune in next time for some more random babble.
I hate this feeling. I feel empty and alone, like there is something missing in my life. Why do I feel like this? No, it has nothing to do with my love life. XP
This is going to seem really stupid, but I always feel this way after I finish reading a book or, such as in this case, a manga series. I've spent quite a bit of time online these past few weeks, so I've had a lot of time to read manga online. The 2 series I've read that have had the biggest impact on me are Jiraishin and Happy World. They were both just so great! But, of course, they didnt last forever. I finished them, which meant I had to say goodbye to the characters I had grown fond of and had formed an attachment with.
*sigh* I'm such a loser.
Oh well. I'm sure I'll feel better by tomorrow, or at least as soon as I find another series to read.
"Valentine's Day, or Saint Valentine's Day, is an occasion celebrated on February 14 by many people throughout the world. In the West, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery. The holiday is named after two among the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.
The day is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines." Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards. The sending of Valentines was a fashion in nineteenth-century Great Britain, and, in 1847, Esther Howland developed a successful business in her Worcester, Massachusetts home with hand-made Valentine cards based on British models. The popularity of Valentine cards in 19th-century America was a harbinger of the future commercialization of holidays in the United States." - Wikipedia
So, yeah. Valentine's Day. For years, it was the day that I was reminded most of how much of a loser I was. The day always started out bad and ended with me feeling even worse. In high school, I just completely ignored it. I mean, really, who gives a fuck?
But... what about now? I mean, I now have someone who makes me happy, and I make her happy as well. Now all of a sudden that day I had ignored for so long suddenly weighs heavy on my mind. I feel like I should do something special on that day. But what?? Therein lies the problem. I mean, what do other people do on that day? What should I NOT do?
To make matters worse, I'm broke. Really! When I say I'm 'broke', I dont mean I have less than a certain amount of money. I mean I have NO MONEY WHATSOEVER!! How the fuck am I supposed to do anything if I can't afford shit?!
*sigh* Great.
Well, I'll think of something. I've been known to find ways out of impossible messes. Well, that and lying out of my ass. Am I doing that now? I dont even know anymore. XP
Anyway, I'll get right on it. By which I mean I'm gonna play video games and watch TV.
Okay, my little existencial crisis has been averted. I think. Well, if it hasnt been averted, I just wont mention it. XP
Got a lot of stuff on my mind, and I mean a LOT. But I dont really feel like talking about some of them just yet. I'll just say this: I've made some very bad decisions in the last 2-3 weeks.
One thing that WASNT bad (i think) was spending most of my money on comics. Not manga. Comics. REAL comics. I really think I can get into the whole comic collecting thing. I'm starting off slow, obviously. I just bought the first 4 issues of Stephen King's The Stand and the first 2 issues The Dark Tower. I really like Stephen King, in case you didnt know. I read them once (without bending them or creasing them or anything) and then back in their plastic sleeves they went. I also bought the first 2 issues of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, but those are just for fun. I dont have them in plastic or anything.
I also used a bit of money to buy myself some Pokemon cards. No, I'm not joking. I really did buy some. I gotta admit: it's been years since I played the game, but I still find it fun. I dont think I'll be sinking too much money into it, though. I have other habits... I mean, games that need my money. And time. And money. (I need more money!)
School a pain in the ass, but at least it's not as bad as high school was. Hey, at least the cafeteria at the college has an arcade! I'm getting a bit better at Street Fighter. I'm actually looking forward to the new one coming out this month. At least, I think it's this month. I havent really checked.
I got Xbox Live working again, and I bought a new copy of Call of Duty 4, which is cool. I get to shoot people when I get bored!
Well, I dont want to drag this on much longer. I'll end on a good note:
E minor!
Ha! That's a music pun. God, I hate puns!
Why did I make this site? I really have no idea. Does it really have any purpose? Any use??
I wish I could say that it gives me someplace to vent, a place where I can bitch and moan about my boring day-to-day existence, but I dot even do THAT! I post something maybe once a week, and its never anything that would be of any interest to anyone, myself included.
"Maybe you can use this site to advertise the place where you work." I dont have a JOB!
"How about writing some stories or poems?" How about you shut up? Writing is hard work!
"What if you make a webcomic? Those are cool." I cant draw for shit. End of story.
"How about using it for educational purposes?" Fuck you, and fuck education!
Maybe I should just quit workin on this site, delete it or something. I'll think about it.
