Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
I decided to do like Chris and just start typing stuff out. It'll be interesting to read after I type whatever I type. Might not be as long as the one Chris did, cause frankly that was long as shit. Oh yeah, probably more "obscenities" too. So if you're offended by "obscenities", stop reading right here you fucktard. Just kidding asshole. I apologize again.
Going to work at 8 am when you're in college fuckin sucks. Especially on the days where you just go and sit and do absolutely nothing and have no work to do or study. I mean sitting there for 5 hours and getting paid for it is not bad, its just the sitting there for 5 hours with nothing to do that is a pain in the ass. I have never seen time go so slow, probably because I never watched it that closely cause I've had things to do. Mr. Gray's class perhaps being the one exception in my case. But the girl I work with is one of those whiny little people who can find even the smallest, minut thing to complain about. The past few days she's been showing up an hour late, which pisses me off to no end. I'm the only one there and we have a shit load of people coming in on those days. Then she wants to take a break at some point before I leave, even though she hasn't done anything but tell people to turn off their cell phones. Then when there is nobody there, she starts talking about her brother giving her his porsche. Or the handbags she has, like 4 or 5, that equal to $4,100. Not to mention her parents are just gonna buy her a new laptop cause she wants one. "I'm a spoiled little brat...teehee."
No shit. The thing that gets me, if her parents have all this damn money, why the fuck is she working at the LAL in the first place? It's not a lot of money, and I'm certain it can't pay for all these "necessities" she needs.
*takes a step back...whew*
Damn I love chinese food. I could eat it every day. I would test that theory, but that would require extra money going into my wallet everyday to pay for chinese food everyday. So I only get it for lunch on days I work. Number 7 Chinese Restaurant. Lunch special is fuckin awesome. I get the sweet and sour chicken, chicken and broccoli, fried rice, and an egg roll for $4.18. I can handle that.
Speaking of food, I originally thought cooking all my meals would be a big hassle that I wouldn't want to deal with. It hasn't been a problem really. Cooking a lot of noodles and pasta stuff. Those noodle packets are awesome. Water, milk, and butter is all they need. Some good alfredo and flavored noodles. My kitchen savior though has been George Foreman. He was a pretty good boxer, but an even better entrepreneur. That fuckin grill is awesome. Cook a noodle packet and throw some chicken on the George Foreman. Put a little lemon pepper on the chicken...woowee. Bam! I wonder how many of those grills he has sold. He's bound to have made a killing off of them. He had sold over 10 million by 1999.
My roommate and I start random arguments all of a sudden. Not like arguing, more like debating. We engage in fact based discussions. He's a very political person. Now I don't know much about politics. Never claimed I have nor claimed that I care. But he starts a discussion with me about video games. Well, I was all over that. We started talking about the PSP and DS. He up front claims the PSP is gonna kill the DS. Now as impressive as the PSP is "looking", there's a reason why Nintendo has been #1 in handheld gaming for a LONG time. Just because the PSP looks flashy doesn't mean a thing. Let's take for example the game gear and gameboy. The game gear had better graphics and color screen, yet the gameboy still opened the proverbial "can of whoopass" all over Sega. It's a proven fact that people prefer gameplay over other aspects. Sure people like something flashy or really graphic oriented, but if its not fun you just won't play it. The PSP will probably just crank games out left and right just like the PS2. There's no telling who has a better system as of yet, because nobody knows. You can't go by what you read, you have to experience it yourself. I should know....I mean I did write reviews for the #1 gaming magazine in the US(EGM).
I have a very cluttered desk layout. Last year I had a bigger desk and my dresser was right next to it with a bookcase on it, so I had a bit more space to put stuff all together. Now my desk is smaller and the dresser is over against a different wall. I do have these 3 drawers on wheels under the desk. I actually pulled that out, I have the gamecube, telephone, and my mouse on that. My other consoles are behind the drawers to the right. On my desk however, is: my printer, monitor and tower, speakers, TV, DVD player, clip on fan, and my keyboard. It's packed. I'm surprised I have space to do work and eat.
I reconfigured my nutang look. Apparently Noono died or something. I didn't have that picture I had on my computer, so I put up a different one. That was last year at the Campus Chaos show at ODU, its Hoobastank. So I found some colors and stuff to match the picture a little bit more. I didn't find that the orange color I had before worked. Maybe Noono going out was a sign. Either way, I redid it.
Mountain Dew is the shit.
I was home just this past weekend. I went to my dad's house to celebrate his birthday and what not. I swear I have too much fun there. My dad's friends Dew and Jimmy were there along with my Aunt Sis. We ate and then we just kinda did whatever. Dew, Jimmy, and I went into the living room and started playing with Samantha for a little while. After Samantha left, we were still playing making the bouncing Tigger get behind Eeyore and bounce up and down. Just perverted things . We all about died laughing. We also played some cards. Playing cards is fun. When I used to stay the weekends there before I came to college, we'd stay up to all hours of the morning playing card games. Dew also proposed the idea of them getting Jimmy's old truck and piling all of their country selves into it and visiting here. I mean Beverly Hillbilly style, rocking chair on top and all. "Open the door, its uncle dew and uncle jimmy!!!!" As hilarious and outrageous as it sounds, I wouldn't put it past them if they got bored one night.
I used to be one of those guys who hung out with the so called "popular" kids way back when. I went to all the parties, was generally considered "smart" (wink wink), and enjoyed it. Those middle school days. Then high school hit me, I became a different person when I arrived at the steps of the Appomattox Regional Governors School. Not that it was a bad thing, it was just another change to go through. I lost that sense of popularity, I lost track of all my friends. Even the ones I had known for the longest time. Every once in awhile, I would run into somebody,give a hello, chat for a minute or two, then be off on my way. I met new people, with different ideas and different approaches to life itself. I chose to leave my old life, a life in which I had many great times and many great friends, to lead another life. Do I regret it? Sometimes. After every hard choice you make, you always wonder what would have happened if you had turned right instead of left. The one thing I do regret though is not keeping in contact with my friends, hardly attempting to touch base with them. I am sure through the years, my friends have changed. So have I.......drastically. I'm not that small, sorta dorky(if you will) kid who would know all the answers to the tests and was cool enough to let you cheat off of him guy any longer. Well, I wasn't too dorky was I? No...no I wasn't. Anyways. I'm that fun-loving, get out of work tryin, loophole findin, baseball playin, good lookin, sob, so how do ya like that? Ok..maybe not that good lookin, but it ended in -in so ya know.
I wrote that a while back.
Ever go walking down a sidewalk and play what I call "human chicken"? It's like the game chicken between two cars headed straight at each other and the first one to pull out is the "chicken". Just like your manhood is on the line or somethin, just walk in your straight line and see if the other person will move from your line. Maybe it's just me.
I had thought of an idea one day. I was thinkin how interesting my life and my friends at ARGS really was. Since they make reality shows about everything nowadays, I think they could have made a reality show out of us. Of course it would have been on Tech TV or something. I called it "Tech High". I think it would have been good. Chris and I one night started discussing certain things that happened that could become episodes. I need to find that list I had made.
I sent Chris that background he has on his computer. I think it was Jessica that had given it to me. I think. Yeah. I'm gonna hafta agree with pictures bringing back memories. The funny thing is, when it comes to the robotics competitions we had and went to VCU, I remember what happened at that competition by what we ate. I know it sounds a bit strange, but its true.
Speaking of Strange, But It's True.....
I've started my little song writing stuff again. Strange, But It's True is the newest song I'm workin on. I haven't wrote in a while, I decided to start back up. Still trying to work out some details on that song, but I'm close to finishing. I never knew how difficult it could really be.
I would write more....but its now 4:04 AM. Oh darn.
