What?

There's a constant ringing in my ears. That's what happens when you listen to loud music. It was good music though, so I guess I can deal with it for now, but it's been like 12 hours and my ears are still kinda ringing. Eh. It's worth it.

Minions

So, my hostile take over of the Media Play Video Department is finally complete. I'm now fully in charge of it. Now, that I'm in charge my video employees are to now be known as, my "Minions". In return the will all call me "Master" or I will throw a pen at their heads.

Well, today being my second day in control, they're already trying to fuck with my department. Someone over reserved a new anime title. And most anime people are hardcore, we knew that this wouldn't be good. So, we just hoped that not all of them would be picked up until our warehouse sent us what we were missing. Well, we didn't know how hardcore these particular anime people were, and they all showed up at the midnight to pick up their DVDs. FUCK!!!!! So, when we ran out of the reserved copies of the DVD, we quickly responded with the "We're Closed" technique. That's when you just lock up and leave.

Everything went well. But when the guy comes back tomorrow looking for his DVD, he's probably gonna be pretty pissed off.

Desire

Each of us have our own story. Everyone has their own fantasy. Some of us want to be writers, computer gods, film students, actresses, President of the United States, rock stars or wealthy land owners. We all have our own dreams and fantasies. Everyone at one time or another had thrown that penny into a fountain and made their wish.



"Ya see this one? This one was my wish! My dream! And I'm taking it back, I'm taking them all back."

Not in the physical sense because I obvious can't go to every fountain I've ever been to and grab a handful of coins from the bottom.....But it would make a good documentary.....

Wishes and fantasies are basically what keeps us going ever day. What would happen if you actually got what you were after?? What then? You've worked for it, and now you have it, so what do you do with it? You get another dream, another fantasy, more desire. You just keep going on and on, never truly being fulfilled, because there's always something else out there on the horizon, something new, something better.

I watched "The Life of David Gale" today. Kevin Spacey has a rant about this in the movie and that's what inspired this post. And I just threw the obvious Goonies reference in there because I've been wanting to watch the movie again lately.

*In a totally unrelated note, Nick inspired me, so I added a Photoblog

They're using the force

Charter has basically forced us to upgrade our cable service.  So, I have the Super-Fast Internet, and all the movie channels.  I'm still undecided about all of this, since my parent are the only ones in the house with a digital cable box, I have to watch HBO in the living room, and that's no fun.  So, I'm gonna have to see about getting another cable box for my room.  Must have digital goodness*drool*. 
 
 
Time for a much needed cutting of the hairs. 

I'm Freeballin, Now I'm freeballin.

Yeah, I tried it.  At first it felt a little dirty, but after I got used to it, it made me feel really open.  And then there's always the thought that, haha, you don't know I'm not wearing any underwear, bitches. 
 
I had more to say about this, but I've lost my train of thought.
 
In other news, check out the Ashlee Simpson album that comes out tuesday, I listened to a promo copy of it today and it's a lot more rock then the Avril album and I like her music way more than I like her sister's.  She has a song on there called "La La", in which you need to totally replace the term "La La" with the word "Fuck" and the song makes a lot more sense. 

I'll get you Newlyweds and your little show too.

Yeah, you read the title right. I'm watching Newlyweds starring Nick and Jessica. Yeah I know, you can shut up now. Ok, so I'm watching the show and they happen to be eating at a restuarant I've been hungary for. P.F. Chang's. MMmm. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, P.F. Chang's is a chinese bistro that has excellent food. The closet one to us is Lansing. Unfortunately for me I have no time off to take a nice little trip just to get some chinese food, but I did just request the entire week off Ozzfest off, and I'll be getting paid for it because I'm super cool, so I might just go and enjoy some chinese food on one of those days. I also found out that I still have another week of personal days left after my vacation, so that's another week I have to take off sometime this year, oh my, how terrible my life is when I get 2 weeks of vacation.

Yes, there's music in the sound

Having recording our latest practice, we can finally let people know what we sound like. Mark threw together a little piece of music from our practice, it's kind of like our TOOL filler piece that'll probably get more stuff added to it later. But at least people can here what we sound like now instead of me having to describe it to them. On this piece I'm on my congas because they sound much better than standard drums, but if I had another drummer to work with I could totally add a drum kit part to it because it definately feels right for it. So here you go enjoy and please Right Click and Save Target As

The Weekday Warrior

Lately, I've felt like something has been missing. I don't know why, it never really bothered me before, but right now it's driving me insane. That isn't a bad thing though, well, it is and it isn't (it's confusing I know. But it confuses me even more so don't feel bad).

I actually got to have a band practice this week, and might even be able to get another one in at the end of the week, thank god for music. We're starting to record practices so we can remember what came out of the practice before it. It's great to hear what you sound like right after you play something. We're also trying to think of a name. so if anybody has any ideas let me know about it and if yours is picked you might one day get a t-shirt or bumper sticker with the band's name on it.(*Contest available to U.S. citizens only, void where prohibited, winner may not get a t-shirt or bumper sticker, there may not be a name chosen by suggestions because your suggestions my suck. If your a friend of a friend or a friend of a band member or a cousin of a friend of a band member then you are excluded from winning the contest. However if you are an animated flying pig you may have already won.)

This Song Is A Poem To Myself

I just watched Cold Mountain.

Excellent movie. An obscene amount of good actors on one movie, but the only people that get the huge praise for it are Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, and Renée Zellweger. It's a great movie, I highly recommend it, but be advised that it's kinda sad. But on a good note, it does have a Nicole Kidman nipple shot.

And on that note. I'm out.

Update

Quick Update to last post. Interview went well, but I didn't get the promotion. I'm not upset though. I'll explain why at a later date because I can't really talk about it right now, but I kinda cut a deal and with this deal will come more flexible hours, which means I'll be able to take more classes. YAY for school!!

Sleepy Sleepy

Arghhh!! I'm tired. I don't really want to go to work today, I have a job interview today at work. Yay! I hate job interviews, their so annoying. And I really don't care if I get a promotion or not because if I get it, I'll end up staying there longing and just prolonging my quiting till the future. If I don't get it, I'll be able to quit mid-August and then go back to school full-time. Oh, the choices. It's frustrating, the want to get my education fighting with my want for money. We'll see how it all goes down. I'm hoping for the best, whatever that is.
