With 12 minutes!

WOOOO!

I almost forgot. I was going to do this this afternoon and laid down for a nap. I didn't fall asleep. Then I kept doing one thing after another and never got to it. So, close call.

Today not much happened.

I stood my ground(sort of) and gave my opinion(sort of) on certain matters. I believe that it was noticed(in a way, not how it should of been) and my opinion fell on deaf ears. I care too much sometimes I think.

That last paragraph has to be the most vague thing ever written. Forgive me, for I am tired and don't really want to write about that right now.

No poker tonight, not enough people to make it fun. But sitting around and just talking was pretty fun. Also watching Hogan Knows Best. Stupid VH1. I think they lace their programming with acid so you get hooked. Your better judgement tells you that you shouldn't like this crap, but you watch anyway.

I'll call it there for tonight. Have fun.

Remixing elevator music.

Salut!

Once again, not much today.

I must admit, I am having fun doing this. Having something to write everyday. I should actually think up topics to write about or something, instead of sitting down and telling how boring I am. Perhaps I'll think a list of topics, or maybe do album reviews or something. Don't know, I'll think about it.

Started watching The West Wing Season 2 today. I forget how much I like that show. It's not really the type of show you just sit down and watch whenever. The writing is top notch and you find that you really care about the characters. There aren't a lot of shows that happens in. Heck, as enteraining as Lost can be, I really could care less about the characters themselves. But back to to sit down and watch whenver. I sometimes get the notion that a show or movie is only a "five star" entertainment if I can pop it in at any point, and know I will enjoy it. That isn't always the case though. The West Wing is a perfect example of that.

This weekend or some night instead of wasting an evening with the telly, I believe I might work up a resume and put it up on those job websites(monster.com and the like). Mainly out of curiosity to see if I'd get any responses, and also, I believe I'm getting a little burned out at my job now. At the begining of this year, I didn't mind getting up and going to work. Now, I wake up and it's just not as inviting as it once was. I also find myself looking more and more forward to the end of the day at work, and it seems to drag a bit, which is always a sign.

As for the my day today. Pretty standard fair. Woke up, got ready, went to work, came home, watched TV, came in here and wrote this, and now I believe I shall read.

Good day. Peace and love.

At the end of the world, everything is half price!

So, today, I wondered what it takes for you to decide when it's time to move on. First this started with thinking about my job. You have bad days. Sometimes those bad days stretch into weeks and months. I guess it comes down to if you enjoy what you are doing, and if you want to advance, is there a chance of that.

As I was thinking about that, I then started thinking about other things that you move on from, but probably don't think about moving on from it. Such as movies. I used to really only watch action movies and comedies when I was a teenager. Now I'll watch anything, and usually are annoyed with the typical action flick and the typical comedy. The same goes for books too. In middle school, all I read was sword and sorcery or science fiction type books. I rarely touch either now.

Granted a lot of this is "growing up". I guess that is just what you are always doing, is growing up.

Anyway, very boring day today. Today was a day I didn't really enjoy my job, and I actually sort of get that vibe from everyone there.

Other than that, I'm just happy to live in a world that has Borat and Russell Crowe.

That's it for today.

THE TEENAGE GUIDE TO POPULARITY

I have no idea why, but today, the song "Popular" by the band Nada Surf popped in my head. It's a funny song, and the video was pretty funny too. But I hadn't thought of the song in forever. The part that makes me laugh the most.

Being attractive is the most important thing there is
If you wanna catch the biggest fish in your pond
You have to be as attractive as possible
Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean
Wash it at least every two weeks
Once every two weeks
And if you see Johnny football hero in the hall
Tell him he played a great game
Tell him you like his article in the newspaper

Next, my post from yesterday seemed to irk a few people. I'd like to say I don't believe that all women are that way. I usually ignore stupid "pass it on" things like that, but this one just seemed to ring true for something I'm going through. I apologize if anyone was offended.

Now, my voting story. There was a polling place two blocks from my place. Two Blocks! I checked the map to see if that's where I should go, as I know they had changed around the wards or whatever. So I look on the map, and it says that, yes indeed, I am suppose to vote at that particular polling place. So I go down there. They inform me that, no I'm at the wrong place, I should go to the church that is about a mile or so down the road. What? But the map...it said....here. Oh, I should mention that I was the only one there wanting to vote.

So I go down to the church and the entire population of Ames is at this place to vote. It goes quicker than I thought it would, thank goodness.

Oh, funny, stupid thing of the day. Jen and I were walking back to work after she went to pick up her lunch and she got a cookie. She then said, "I'm going to warm this up in the microwave so it's...warm." Probably not as funny to read, but I laughed quite a bit.

Booyakasha!

Well, I'm cheating for this entry today. I'm usually not one for those stupid "repost this" type blog posts or emails or bullitens. I'm also not one to be whiney or "oh feel sorry for me" type person. I just tell it like it is. But, this was posted in a bulliten on my myspace page, and it rang very true, So I post it here.


This is to all of the girls in the world who can't accept the nice guys for who they are:

and whats really sad...is most nice guys are giving up...because being last...isnt the way they wanted to finish.

I'm sorry
that I feel I have to be an ass hole
to get your attention

I'm sorry
That my body's not ripped enough
to "satisfy" your wants

I'm sorry
that I open your car door,
and pull out your chair like I was raised

I'm sorry
That I'm not cute enough
to be "your guy"

I'm sorry
That I am actually nice;
not an asshole

I'm sorry
I don't have a huge bank account
to buy you expensive things

I'm sorry
I like to spend quality nights at home
cuddling with you, instead of at a club

I'm sorry
That I am always the one you need to talk to,
but never good enough to date

I'm sorry
That I always held your hair back when you threw up,and didn't get mad at you for puking in my car,
but when we went out you went home with another guy


I'm sorry
That I am there to pick you up at 4am when your new man hit you and dropped you off in the middle of nowhere,
but not good enough to listen to me when I need a friend

I'm sorry
That I don't understand that he cheats on you but you take him back;
but I'm not good enough to understand that he loves you

I'm sorry
If I start not being there, and being used as a door mat, only to be thrown to the side when the new asshole comes around

I'm sorry
If I don't answer my phone when you call, to listen to you cry for hours, instead of getting a couple hours of sleep before work

I'm sorry that you can't realize.. I've been the one all along.
But hey....now You're sorry

I'm sorry
If you read this and know somebody like this
but don't care
But most of all

I'm sorry
For not being sorry anymore

I'm sorry
That you can't accept me
for who I am

I'm sorry
That you tell me how much better I am
Yet I am not good enough for you

I'm sorry
that im attracted to your personality
instead of your body

Im sorry for taking yor
drink away when you were puking on my shoes
and didnt get mad at you

Im sorry
for being there when you wanted to bitch like
hell.

im sorry
that i wasnt cool enough because i didnt drink,
but i still watched over you at the party.



Ladies always bitch and bitch to their friends that there is never any good guys out there anymore, and they always end up with assholes who treat them bad. Well ladies next time your bitching, maybe look up to see who your bitching too, maybe that special someone is right there hanging on your every word like usual, screaming in his head "why don't you give me a try?"
Because the person you are usually searching for is right by you.

Word up!

Nothing much to report for today. Spent last night hanging out at home, reading. Talked to Heather right before hand, and she kept trying to convince me that I should make Charlie go do something with me, but he had plans. I felt like staying home anyway. She's not said one thing to me today, and not been online. Perhaps she's stewing over what I said to her yesterday or she's been busy. Really, I don't care too much.

Didn't do much with my day today. Got groceries. Started cleaning up a bit, but Crawford messaged me over G chat, so I talked to him as I hadn't in a long time. It seems everytime I decide to buckle down and clean up, something happens to interrupt it.

Had a dream that I thought was, odd. I can't get it out of my head either.

Short post for today, as nothing has really happened. Which is always good, I guess.

Have a good one.
