tony jaa is the shit.

tired as hell

Sun, 17 Sep 2006 02:27:58 GMT

holy shit, two exams followed by three quizes followed by four 8 hour shifts at work equals one fucked up week. haven't felt this tired in a long time, and still have some stuff to do, like prepare for another exam and finish a program that are both due wed, and then find time to read a lot of chapters. oh yeah, and type up reports that are due tuesday. x.x

now im going to eat and maybe take a nap and watch a movie before my life slowly ebbs away.

i hate exams. this bio exam better be easy, cause i am really really really tired of reading this damn book.

on another note of working, ended up asking for more hours on fridays than usual. the Great Paul foreshadowed a disasterous event in my life that i eventually knew was coming. paying the Old Man rent for boarding in his house. I knew that i'd eventually have to pay some kind of fee for rooming anywhere, but since i turn twenty-one in the next few months, may as well get ahead and prepare for the sucker punch of further emptying my wallet to live in my dad's house. I really am not looking forward to going back MORE to work to just hang out in the lumber department and do nothing for eight hours, or spend a good part of my shift under the brutal sun in the parking lot burning my hands pushing carts back to the entrance, or cleaning out the men's restroom every weekend because i happen to be the lone guy in a department full of women. Hopefully i can earn a raise and get paid 50 cents more or a dollar for all the shit i go through because no one else wants to do it or some technicallity that "prevents" others from doing certain actions.

back to reading.

well today was interesting, not to mention somewhat tiresome. u know the day will be interesting when u wake up from a phone call from work at 815 in the morning and ask u if u can come in and work. of course this wouldn't be a problem for me if i lived near work, but since i spent the night at my mom's house in pinal county and they want me in around nine am, it becomes a BIG PROBLEM. not only have i just woken up and not taken a shower and have a wicked spot of indigestion, but i have to get somewhat dressed, gather my crap, pick up after myself in my mom's house and clean the kitchen and THEN take a thirty minute drive to my dad's to get ready for work. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh not a good morning.

thirty minutes later after 900 i finally clock in and to add to my troubles i'm put in the one place i really don't want to be at the moment, the returns desk, for the ENTIRE SHIFT. no lumber, no garden, no parking lot shift for carts, not even the fucking front end, i have to cover the returns desk. plus i find out that pretty much throughout the entire friday shift only three cashiers have officially been scheduled, out of a 17 hour work day only three people are to command the entire front-end and entrance. x.x if i desperately didn't need the money i would definately not have bothered to leave my mothers until 10.

on the bright side of things roxy made a surprise gathering at the 2-dollar cinemas which is a very good thing, cause i really needed something positive to happen in the afternoon. got to see roxy and bryce and roxy's new friend jason, along with the fast and the furious 3. a nice way to spend two dollars, seeing how the movie isn't worth the basic 6.50, and a great gathering. afterwards we went to play pool for a while. always better to play with other people besides my dad and the drunken idiots in a bar. definately a good way to end the summer vacation. i have to get out more often.

the heat sucks

Thu, 20 Jul 2006 06:36:23 GMT

so yeah today i went on another bike ride in order to exercise a bit more cause i would not like to be a lazy bastard all summer. finally went to Planet Neo on guadalupe and rural and was surprised to find out its really really really smaller than what i initally expected. x.x
here i thought i could find another decent wall scroll for my room that i could find displayed on their ceiling and i didn't even find a dozen posters! wtf. there isn't even enough room to hold a decent card game tournament, much less display all of their dvd's and manga. well, that's what i get for expecting a giant store that's located on the forgotten corner of the parking lot.

as for the rest of my afternoon, traveled all the way to baseline and hardy, nearly got lost in the neighborhood that hardy leads into, and got home with a very nasty layer of sweat under my shirt. good thing my dad has a pool which contains water at the temperature of 80 degrees fahrenheit. jeez its like taking a warm bath with chlorine used to kill bacteria instead of soap. i need to start doing this bike exercise when the sun isn't all the way up and the heat doesn't come from both the concrete and the sky.

finally put up my wall scroll that i bought like two weeks ago. damn it looks good, adds more color to my very white and blank wall. need to figure out if i want to paint my room or if i should just save the money for when i move out to the future apartment. dont really know if vanessa will go for moving out of her house. i wouldn't mind getting out of here into a decent place near asu so my bike rides there dont take a whole hour. damn money, it always seems to leave your hand whenever you get it. in the end i expect that i'll still live in my dad's house for another year until i save up enough money to move out. good thing lowe's pays nine dollars an hour.

Tue, 18 Jul 2006 06:27:16 GMT

last day of work for the week. so glad. i can finally gain some more time to sleep during the day. also means its time for vacation!!!!!!! only a few more days until san antonio trip with my godmother and aunt. it'll be good to be out of town for a few days, haven't been anywhere outside of arizona, much less chandler, for a long time. course since i have no money, i can't buy anything when i'm there.

x.x

as for work, another boring day. had to wake up at 9 am for a seven hour shift. those are always fun, especially when u wake up about thirty minutes before your shift starts. ick. don't know why, but cashering seems to be losing the fun that it once had before. perhaps it was the lack of sleep or the fact that i really don't do much since i can't leave the front exit area. could be that the head cashers are starting to get fierce about the rules of what i can and can't do, since i can't help the people who need help lifting heavy objects but the loaders are about ten minutes away and no one is in line to buy stuff since the whole store is practically empty. arg. god i hate not doing anything, and while the idea of lifting heavy stuff isnt very appealing, it does pass the time away which is needed a lot at lowes.

gotta figure out how to spend the next few days of my vacation in the state, since ill probably be missing a lot of events. have to let roxy know ill be outta town though, she'll probably need help with filming soon. should probably find a spot in my room to hang my wall scroll too. such a sweet poster.

Mon, 17 Jul 2006 04:23:24 GMT

damn almost a whole year. think i might get on here more often. almost time for vacation. haven't been anywhere cept home and work for a long time, minus the fun times i spend with friends.

work at lowes is getting tiresome. 40 hours a week can really get on you, and when u only get two days off it gets annoying. nine bucks an hour is a real bonus though, compared to my previous jobs so far. too bad ALL of it since last month is going to school tuition. x.x
san antonio will be fun though. i always enjoy visiting my family, i never do get to see them that much. always busy whenever my dad seems to plan something, plus work gets in the way of the holidays whenever we want to visit family in texas. so heres to a good week free of work.

game day saturday was fun. finally got to see all the good friends from school, really miss hanging around them. got to see pirates 2 again with them. watching johnny depp making an ass out of himself was fun, though watching yet ANOTHER unplanned trilogy got boring. told matt that it ended just like the matrix reloaded, what with the bad guy winning, the loss of a ship and trust, and unfortunately a twist at the very end where u know there will be a sequel. hell i was surprised they didn't put a to be concluded text at the very end. despite this it wasn't a bad movie, a good way to continue a franchise. hopefully the final movie will end with a bang.

wish i could have stayed longer though, only got to play games with them for like an hour, then had to drive back all the way from apache junction to work. not a good way to spend an afternoon. looking forward to more fun on the 12th, where i can play more billards and smash brothers melee with richard and get pwned in halo.

need to find more interesting icons for lj.

home

Sun, 21 Aug 2005 05:40:05 GMT

good to be home at last. opened my door to find my room in one piece with some balloons hanging around my computer. good gifts from mom. exausted from driving about 1000 or so miles from nashville to chandler. so many things to do though. need to clean computers for school, get books, blah blah blah.

*sigh* at least i can sleep in tuesdays and thursdays. more to come later.

coming home

Sun, 14 Aug 2005 05:40:53 GMT

*sigh*

its been a busy summer, but it's finally over, and later on today i'll finally be on my way home. have to first drive to nashville, then make a few stops with my dad to see some family members, then finally make the last stop and come home to get ready for school.

i can say that its been an interesting summer, what with dogs biting and guns being pulled out on me and driving around the boonies attempting to deliver books. thank goodness it's finally over and i can start heading home after filling out some paperwork. looking forward to seeing all my friends and family again and also to start school. also looking forward to the release of Sin City on dvd, hopefully with lots of extra material to view. gotta get me that movie.

ugh, too late to continue, have to drive at least ten hours tomorrow and need sleep. also have to find more cds as i can only listen to my American Idiot and Maroon 5 cd's so few times for a two day trip back home. looking forward to seeing all you guys and girls again. later.

bored

Thu, 21 Jul 2005 03:46:23 GMT

been another few days since i last updated. thought i'd take the time to finally sit down and write some stuff in here.

so as the title says, i'm now bored and tired. apparently everyone in my city likes to work during the day, and so i spend a good four hours driving and walking around these empty houses desperately trying to find anybody i can find who isn't a grandma, as they tend not to buy things but rather call the police and attempt to drag me to jail. this has been so bad that i've had to drive to places like the wal-mart and library, sitting and reading books such as harry potter and my email. actually spent a good hour n' half reading HP6, which wasn't that bad.

funny thing i heard on the radio. apparently a local radio station gave away the ending for the book, and now adults of the age of 34 are pissed because they ruined a good book. so instead of acting mature and discussing other important matters like bush selecting a new republican judge, they decide to send angry emails and phone calls to this radio station and acting like complete retards. freaking 34 year old adults! just sat there amazed that people can be this angry over a children's book yet be totally ignorant to other important events happening in the world.

*sigh* only about twenty four more days of this dreadful humidity. god i miss arizona and that dry heat. and then off to the dental surgeon, and then college! don't think i got a dorm room this year. haven't been able to check my mail and i think i sent my application a little too late. but i do plan to move out next year. so all's still well.

update later, adios.

working...

Sun, 03 Jul 2005 22:04:49 GMT

ok, so since its been quite a while since i last updated, i thought i'd take some time write in this thing.

its been fun working around here in missouri. much better than working in some lame ass grocery store. sure i don't have the air conditioner, and i meet a lot of dogs that like to bite, and people still like to show their guns, and still others just like to be stupid and mean, but i do meet lots of nice people round here. lot of them tend to be old guys and grandmas with thousands of cats hanging around their homes.

still struggling to sell these damn books and make a profit, but my managers say it gets better, so i just have to wait and keep on working. got to see some movies these past few weeks. landlord gave me a free pass to see batman for free. not a bad movie, oh so much better without george clooney and chris o donnel being the main superheroes. the villians were fucking lame though. was expecting much more with liam neilson, but thats what you get for having him star in that lame "Darkman" movie.

bout 40 days left until i'm done here. kinda glad and sad about it, but good to know that i spent my time here helping people out with their kids.

update soon. laters.

the long day

Tue, 07 Jun 2005 04:04:13 GMT

today has possibly been one of the longest days being out here. sunday must have really gotten to me, realizing that about less than half of the original group that came to kansas city is now gone. half. at least fourteen of the twenty five that came here. so that didn't really brighten my spirits today. now that i know i can work the thirteen and a half hours out here, i guess the next big thing for me to overcome out here is myself. the battle of the wills if u may call it. quit or stay, quit or stay?

somehow i end up getting off my ass though and driving around the middle of cass county trying to sell books, so i guess in the end my optimist side is still winning the battle, which is good cause i really don't want to quit, knowing that if i did something could have happened that would have changed this summer for the better. so to sum it all up, i'm still debating whether i should quit, and end up not quitting.

still haven't sold anything since that cd set i sold saturday morning. i expected this would happen, and ended up taking more money out of my account to help pay for shit, like that really good blizzard i had today for dinner. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. needed that ice cream.

don't know why or how this happened, but i seem to be getting more closer with my parents now then when i was at arizona. guess its all this fucking stress i'm going through. 's not a bad thing, but its good to know that i have two very realiable people to talk to at the end of the day to boost my spirits up.

damn its late, gotta run, be back later.

Damn what a week

Sat, 04 Jun 2005 03:37:36 GMT

hey all. thought i'd drop by a word now that i have access to a computer and the internet at my second place of living. past two weeks have been hell. i've had dogs biting, bugs biting, walking through mud, dirt, horseshit...there's a lot of that out here, gravel, grass above my knee, traveling four thousand miles or so in less than a month, making frequent visits to many country locals like the amish, trying to sell to many country locals like the amish....amish don't like much stuff dealing with education, and too many other things to name.

getting depressed out here too often, which doesn't help my days much. still trying to show my products to at least thirty people before i become personally introduced to their door, and still attempting to sell at the same time. keep calling my folks for advice, which has been helpful. guess i'm just getting too homesick and i don't realize it.

well, i gotta get going. update later on sunday. miss u all that read this and i hope to do better next week than this previous week. talk to u guys soon. bye

good bye everyone

Fri, 13 May 2005 06:09:59 GMT

well, i guess its time to say good bye. it's been a great semester, and i look forward to both a great summer and another great semester in the fall. the only thing i'll regret is missing out on corona's graduation day, and not being able to see some of my friends taking that walk to freedom, and straight to school again. still, it'll be good to know that roxy and urusa and everyone else i know will finally be able to get out of corona, that place is goddamn awful.

many thanks to my friends who still read this and have the patience to hang out with me. i'll miss u all and the many misadventures that go on inbetween the months. hopefully i'll see u soon after i get back from my internship, and my wisdom teeth surgery taking place right after i get back, and going through school again for the fall.

see you all round after aug 17.

chris.

last day

Thu, 12 May 2005 18:06:36 GMT

almost time to leave. thought i'd put a post on now and one later on tonight. its been fun so far. managed to clean up my room a lot, only thing left to do is balance my checkbook, which i haven't done in about four months, and sort a few papers lying on my bed. got to learn how to change a tire yesterday, and packed just about everything i need to wear on my trip. figure i spend some time with the family today and get ready for tomorrow morning. more later.

last final

Tue, 10 May 2005 06:22:19 GMT

ack. spent nearly all day preparing for final final tomorrow. hopefully i'll do well on this one, although i have to say i definately learned a lot from this class even if the final score doesn't say so. after this i'm pretty much done until friday morning, when i finally pack up and head on out to nashvile for internship. man this semester went by fast. can't believe only a few months ago i was at nessa's toga party and only a few weeks ago i said go fuck yourself work. have to say college has really been interesting. looking forward to next semester very much, hopefully it will be as interesting as last year. more to come later.

blah

Sat, 07 May 2005 17:29:02 GMT

math final today. spent all night studying. better get a B or higher. must sleep

calc night

Sat, 07 May 2005 05:35:32 GMT

fun day. turned in eng final. found out i got an A- on another paper i completely bullshat on. i hope this doesn't become a bad habit cause i'd really like to spend more time creating these papers. might get an A in english anyways. spent day studing for calc final. decided to go out to eat with friends. have to remind myself to never spend another 1.40 for a basket full of fries again.

turns out laurie notaro wasn't at borders near islands, but instead way the hell out in phoenix. found the shadow dvd and decided to watch that in syneblue's tiny dorm room. saw the famous wall of shame, spent some time watching the bad movie, heard a really really really bad quote from alec baldwin. its a wonder he's still acting in hollywood.

going to spend entire night studying for calc final. hope dad and paul don't decide to play music blasting out all night.

Fri, 06 May 2005 01:02:02 GMT

so this past month has been exciting!!!!!!!

too much stuff happened, both good and bad. mom moving out not good. drunken father moving her stuff out the midnight hour of the day she is supposed to move out especially not good, especially when u have a lab project worth a lot of your grade is occuring only a few hours later and u still need to write a lab report but want to make sure that a). daddy doesn't get seriously hurt and break his back trying to drag a huge oak bedroom piece that reaches to the ceiling of the room to the garage, and b). daddy doesn't go crazy and break something that isn't his that he shouldn't even be moving.

but with this negative stuff comes the good stuff i guess. school almost out, finals for the next few days. those should be fun. and then internship to nashvile and then kansas city, on both sides of the state. get a chance to get the big bucks and learn what it's like to run my own business. too bad i'll be gone almost all summer, only to return to a guy with a big wrench waiting to pull my wisdom teeth out. DEFINATELY not looking forward to that.

had one of the worst mornings ever, along with one of the most interesting nights ever. turns out ASU likes to throw these fancy pancake dinners once a semmester to prepare for finals. what they don't tell u is that the food they serve u has the equivalent taste next to shit and snot, i.e. the pancakes, meat, and eggs. not even syrup and butter could save these pancakes. next time go to McDonalds for quality breakfast, even though they make u fat as hell.

also witnessed one of syneblue's asthma attack episodes. good times there. ended up waiting a little while longer to make sure she didn't throw up, collapse, or whatever goes bad involving asthma attacks. wasn't that bad, got to have a long chat with her friend casey, or is it kasey? and i learned not to poke someone who is very ticklish and has asthma at the same time, as it tends to make them fall down again and almost never get back up. not a good thing there, ever.

as for the morning, well, it all begins with a final. a simple final that i spent all day preparing for, and would have during the night, but i needed a break and had to help a friend. as for waking up, well, the final was scheduled at 7:40 am. too early for me, but not a problem with my alarm clocks. except that this morning they decided to hate me and not wake me up. so at 8 in the morning, i dash out of bed, grab the nearest set of clothes that go on my top, bottom, and feet, and drive to asu as fast as i can. of course lot 59 is too far away from the engineering building, and i only have an hour left to take the test, so i park in the motorpool area in parking structure 2, and dash to my classroom. turns out the test wasn't that bad, and i just found out i didn't F bomb it getting a 78% in the class for the semester.

as for my car, i ended up paying a hundred and fifty bucks to get it back from asu for parking in the wrong place. bastards wouldn't even listen to my story. had to walk all the way from PS2 to the Towers, pay that ridiculous amount to get my car back, and then walk back to ps 2, while lacking sleep, food, and bathing. i can only hope my other final days won't be like this.

more to come later

first livejournal quiz

Tue, 03 May 2005 00:31:40 GMT

12. How well do you know me?
13. When's the last time you saw me?
14. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?

crunch time

Wed, 13 Apr 2005 04:58:04 GMT

been a while since i last updated this little place. on my final days with work, so only THREE more days left. THREE days until i'm done with that place for good. yes THREE DAYS.

also taxes are coming up, unfortunately i have to finish those as the last day is like two days away. *sigh* must get going. update later tonight.

cleaning parti

Sun, 10 Apr 2005 22:06:49 GMT

god it feels good to walk on my carpet again instead of hopping around where there are open spots. also feels good get rid of that nasty smell that was in my room.

off to clean my desk now.

part II

Sun, 10 Apr 2005 07:54:15 GMT

*sigh* thought i'd come back and talk a bit more before i go to bed.

had to go to tucson today for a coffee talk with my internship. didn't help that my lab report took me all night to finish and i didn't go to bed till 4 am, and then i had to go back to asu to drop it off about four hours later. so i basically slept throughout the trip back and forth and woke up with a kink in my neck. ate very good mexican food for lunch at tucson. turns out the place we ate at is famous for having celebrities like william shatner, fernando vargas, and even the fat bill clinton eat there.

coffee talk was the same thing my parents and i knew, so it was basically a waste of time. very disturbing that one of the old, male guest speakers decided to grab and squeeze my arm as i was looking at what i would be selling. tried desperately not to punch him, barf, and rip the skin off of my arm with my bare hands.

baseball game was good, although i ended up giving one of my internship members a ride to the game and back to the dorms...and she had a bike too. so i ended up taking the bike apart and shoving it in my car to get it to saguaro hall.

bah, all this reminescing has made me tired. i'm off to get some sleep.

things are fun when you don't get sleep!!! part 1

Sun, 10 Apr 2005 00:48:17 GMT

have to be brief, cause i have a baseball game to go to....but the past two days have been intense. Discovering jon's lj was probably the only good thing that happened. had to turn in my third paper yesterday, which was probably the worst paper i ever typed since my job has been getting in the way of a lot of my free time to work on my homework. also had a math test, which i think i failed, again because of work getting in the way. and now this, staying up till four in the morning to type up a lab report that i had to turn in only four hours later. only got two hours of sleep, so my eyes are burning and my brain is dead. *sigh* i will be soooo glad and relieved that i'm finally quitting my job friday. hate that place. this whole responsibility thing is a pain in the ass too, otherwise i'd just walk in and toss my keys. only a few more days though until i can say "fuck it" to the damn store, six to be exact.

have to go, more to come later tonight.

Thu, 07 Apr 2005 18:36:00 GMT

my icons are set!! wheeee!!!!!!!!
*note* only have two right now, must find a third one,mayhap something related to my name on my lj. also, am enjoying the wonderful experience babies know as teething again. seems one of my wisdom teeth grew smart and decided to punish me by looking at the light of day in my mouth. as a result, my jaw hurts whenever i move it and eating has become very painful.

tonight should be fun, have to finish an eng paper due tomorrow, study for a math test tomorrow and prepare a lab report for logic design that's technically due saturday but since i won't be here i'll have to turn it in friday. gotta run. laters.
