With all the new Blogger things that are being added on, I thought I would finally get moving on updating more.  I've been so busy recently that I haven't had time.  So I am working on my new blog featuring photos and everything.  If you want to check it out go to http://takeorey.blogspot.com and check it out.  I'm trying new things so bear with me.  I might even make it the main blog that I use from now on (not sure yet though).   Back to more updates...

 
There are so many evil people in the world, people that think they can get away with anything. People who you think are good people and they turn out to be legit assholes. They don't get the right idea and only think of what they want until they get it, even if it's against the law. Well, I'm not going to let fuckers like that get away with it. That's why I don't get people that commit crimes and do drugs. They don't care about themselves and certainly other people. Well, I'll be sure (and others) that justice will be served, no matter how long it takes. As for me, this may be a test of what I think is right and a test of friendship and manhood. I just know at the moment that I cannot trust people that I don't know. I really believed in the goodness of mankind, but now its just harder to believe in that. Not to say that there are people I do trust, but I don't have much trust to go around. Just when life is going great, something horrible and traumatic happens, and not even to yourself but it's so big that it hurts you that much.

 

Some Good News

I learned that my cousins are coming back in for July 4th! I think its so good that they are coming back. I never had so much fun than last year's July 4th, and I didn't know they were coming. It was some of the best family moments last year and I got close to them even though they didn't stay that long. The girls just were awesome, they treat my bro and I like big brothers. I love that. I think having so many girls in the family makes us guys a little more special, but I like treating them as my sisters sometimes.

So, it looks like we might be having July 4th at the house again, but it might be at my auntie Emily's and her new house. So its only 75% chance it might happen here again. I dont know if it would be as crazy as last year, it might just be bigger. I would like it to be fun like last year. I had family and friends over last year, but who knows about this time. I love it when everyone gets to see how big my family is and how crazy fun we get sometimes.

 

 
Not the update I wanted, but I wish people would tell me things more. I'm not a mind reader, I can't read people's minds. If I'm doing a good job, tell me. If I'm doing a bad job, tell me that too! Otherwise, I'm always goinna think that I'm doing a good job and that nothing's wrong. I feel like I've been working too hard to care about what others think lately and been on a one track mind lately. So it would be nice to know what people are thinking of me lately. I feel like Superman in the past months, but even Superman has his kryptonite...

 

F*** You!

Wow...

just when I think people are really proud of me and all the hard work I do, someone just had to find a fuckin problem with it. Geez, mom... if you aren't happy with what I have chosen and want to stick your nose into my business, then leave me the fuck alone. I can't argue with someone so close minded and argues like a child. I love that I am the mature one and that I have a lot to show for it. If it isn't to your liking, then tough shit! You will never be happy with what I do, no matter how much money I have or how well I do, so you might as well just keep your mouth shut.

Gosh, and after how the rest of my huge family loves the fact of how I got promoted and all the work I do. After them saying they love what I'm doing and how proud they are at how much of a person I've evolved into, you have to go find me a job that would suit you better than the others I have right now. If you have a problem with me working in a high class restaurant or an assistant manager at a busy theatre complex, then YOU will have to deal.

I am on such a roll in life right now. I have so many people proud of me and yet my mother can't be happy with me. Thanks for bringing me down. Why do I even bother to care what you think anymore? DO NOT talk to me unless you got something intelligent to discuss and never tell me you are disappointed with me, EVER.



My next post... if I get around to it will be called "Confidence". I don't feel like putting it up now after my mom's arguement, but I will get to it and it will be big. Included will be a new pic update and maybe some new pics that I have taken with my new digital camera. Still trying to work with it, but I got the hang of it. Plus I need to read up on my food ingredients and take my TABC test this weekend.

 
I hurt my knee from all the work yesterday. I guess I was on my feet all day busting my ass. Usually after I sleep, I would be ok but right now my knee is on fire... I'm going to be stretching it out all day. The pain is just a constant reminder of how much work I'm going through. Plus it reminds me of what pain I got and what sacrafice I made to working tough at the theatre...

Off to another "2 job workday".

Why Don't I Update More?

I really don't know why... I juse seem less motivated on my hobbies because I am working a lot. I have a lot of stuff on my mind and I should put it on my blog... oh well. I do have a big update planned. I'll put it up once I finish it.

Books need to be read:

Love Hina manga #4-6
Angus, Thongs and Full-frontal Snogging (Ashley said I should read it)

 

Some random things (Ranting)

I haven't been really felt like posting in awhile, so I'm gonna put random things.

Working at the restaurant is getting tough. Lots of ppl are getting restless at the lack of money we are getting. I don't blame them. Some ppl work there to pay for everything, it's only a 2nd job for me, extra income. But slowly its becoming more of a main job, just b/c I work there more. This past week was just shitty when it came to tips, not just for my department, but for everyone. Why should we be busting our asses and get no compensation for it. I guess its justified that we feel like doing 10% of the work if you can't tip 10%. For example, today I had a huge order from a car dealership (who will remain nameless) that faxed in their order. 29 people, 35 entrees, 10 apps and desserts. They wanted it spereated by name and number, which means each person had their own bag with their food in it. We freakin did it, we had a nice assembly line going and we didn't forget anything. The total ended up being $381.42. Everything was great, but in the back of my head I knew they weren't going to leave a tip, seeing as how the last week had been. It took 5 guys to take out all the bags to their car in the pouring rain. Did they leave anything??? NO!

Well Dave and Adam (our managers) weren't too happy with it all. They decided to help us out and hooked us up with a tip. Now, I am grateful that they were nice enough to do that for us, but I feel a little bad b/c it is their money as well. It just that people in Sugar City have been real freakin stingy to all of us, even though we go out of our way to please them. Not everyone does this but maybe 95% does this. Our regulars are great to us. We had a great guy leave me a $20 on a $40 check. He didn't have to do that, but he knows what we go through. Man, now I know why lots of ppl do doubles there, they need the chance to make more money.

If I haven't told you yet, I got a big plan for Ashley's bday. Oh and she isn't allowed to know b/c she's trying to find it out, so DO NOT tell her! I hope it all works out b/c I got to go up against her going to prom with a friend of hers the next day.

The Friends Final Episode.... I give it an 8. I'm getting the dvd tomorrow.

G4 and TechTV are merging. I love TechTV and hate that they are getting bought out, even if its a videogame channel, a struggling one that is. Some of the good ones aren't gonna make it past the merger, like Leo LaPorte (the uncle of TechTV). It's now called G4TechTV.

Why haven't I put new pics up? Simple, I didn't take that many this month. I don't know if I want to put up a few pics.

 

Testing New Blogger Changes

Nice look, but used to the old way...

Anyways take a look at Final Fantasy A+

 

New DVDs and Chatterbox

Well I tinkered with a new chatterbox since everyone's shout box went down at activetopic.com. Been working and planning too much but I did make a few purchases in the dvd department at Best Buy. Oh yeah, and I'm partial blonde again.

Tripletes of Belleville - Excellent movie even better on dvd. The video transfer makes it look better than it ever did in the theatre. Very crisp and clear and the theme song will be in my head for a few more weeks.

Tenchi Muyo GXP Vol. 2 Academy Life - The second volume of the spinoff of the Tenchi OVA series. It gets funnier and funnier, prolly because the series is directed by Nabeshin.

 

Anime and DVDs

It seems as if there is a lot of stuff that has been coming out or that will be coming out that I really want to see. Tuesday will be a big release day as one of my favorite movies Love Actually will be released as well as the huge Wrestlemania 20. Damnit, I just learned that Saved By the Bell Seasons 3 and 4 is coming out on Tuesday as well....

As for anime, it seems like a great time to watch again. Thank God for fansubbers. Of course, Naruto just got over some great fights and will be starting a new arc soon. The new Tenchi Muyo! OVA 3 is keeping everyone in suspense and Tenchi Muyo GXP is being released stateside on dvd. No longer need crappy HK subs to watch.

Also the new Initial D 4th Stage is being released. The first two fansubs are out and they are great. Its interesting as in Japan, they are releasing the episodes on Pay Per View, two episodes every other month. I never heard of anime being shown this way before, but it means now we have to wait til June for two more episodes..... NOOOO! Anyways, go find them and watch them now.

Songs of the Moment

Some Good News

I guess I have some good news to say. Today, Jimmy (my manager at PF) says that I got a raise. I was surprised but also very grateful. In addition to that, some of us got moved around as to what we can do at the restaurant. I guess you can call it a small promotion or a semi-promotion. It's great because we aren't defined in one area anymore and I think it was due to everyone wanting to learn how to do other positions at work. It also attains to the fact that we have been helping each other regardless of what we are supposed to be doing. Also, we got rid of the lazy ass bitches who don't do anything but leech money off the rest of us. Unfortunately, that doesn't leave us with many people but we got that covered since we can cover more areas now. So I'm excited that I can do more at work, and it came at a good time as I was getting burnt out from working at the restaurant.

I spent most of the day alone and it was nice. I watch some old anime and wrestling dvds as well as Tenchi Muyo In Love. Still love the movie...

Oh and I have begun a plan for the next couple of weeks. I said I wouldn't plan things anymore, but birthdays are that exception and I'll get killed if I forget this one. So my plans are starting and research resumes tomorrow.

 

Stupid People

I know I unfortunately fall in this category every so often, but jesus christmas, you know who is really missing some chromosomes because they are so idiotic. Whether they freakin smoke there brain cells away or fall down too much, you just know who is stupid when you can't believe the things they do or say.

I'm off to enrich my mind by reading a book...
