Laugh Like A Clown

No, I didn't drop off the face of the earth, just lost a little faith in what I was writing. The last few post have just been vids with a little blurb underneath them, and I do apologize for that. However, there's no reason why I can't come up with a perfectly decent blog. A fair few things have happened in the last little while, but i'm gonna keep this short since it would probably take to long to write everything, and you know me, i'm not much for a long-winded tale.

First, I finally got out of sporting goods, and am now an offical electronics associate. I kind of wish i'd transferred a little earlier though, since now all the people I enjoyed working with in there have gone off to university. Taylor, Omar and Shelby are still there, so thats one bright spot, but i'm not really that big on our new people. One of thems a friend of Shelby's so I'm choosing not to say anything about him, but from what i've seen, although I hate to base an opinion on straight opinion, he's your average go out and get drunk/stoned friday and saturday night kind of guy. The other ones are decent, but none of them will ever live up to Paul and J-Rod.

I've also begun my co-op at cable 14 in hamilton. I'm enjoying it thus far, but it gets really repetitive really quickly. In fact all we do after we've set up the camera's and mics, is sit around and wait for the show to start. We did bingo tonight, so I was kept on my toes since I do graphics for it. Graphics for this show is, highlighting the numbers before the host calls them out, and then typing them in the top right corner so that when it's called out, I push enter and it appears on screen. I know, it's a little weird to explain on here, but if you ever watch tv bingo, you'll see what I mean. It requires my full attention since I have to have the number highlighted and written before its called so that when the host says it, I put up it quickly and move to the next number. The best part about this place is that on alternating wednesdays they don't have a show, so more often then not, I won't be needed, meaning I finish my school day at 9:35!!! Pretty sweet huh? Also, I don't go on fridays since there's never a show, and my producer and director don't work, which is good for me, since if I wanted to keep my job at wal-mart, I needed to work at least 3 days a week. So yes, sometimes I have a 3 day school week. As fun as it sounds, I kind of wish I didn't.

Being home during the day kind of sucks. There's nothing to do, no one is ever on msn or facebook, although its not as if I talk to people when they are online, then again, most people don't talk to me. In fact, I wanted to, I could probably get rid of 96% of the people on my msn list, since i'm never going to talk to them...ever. For example, out of the people from my graduating class at BT, I can actually count on one hand who I still talk to, be it on msn or in person. Although, I only talk to one over msn, since the others grew out of it.

Sigh....I'm lonely. I just wish I hadn't fucked around with my school work last year. Maybe then I'd be somewhere far away from here, not writing about how bored I am....no wait, I probably would be, since I have no social skills, I wouldn't make new friends, thus condeming me to a life of solitude.....elementary school all over again. I know, your probably thinking, wow this kid is really lame. He complains about everything and has no reason to. You have me there. I think it's sad that I can admit to my own problems, but never fix them.

And he laughed like a clown, at something that wasn't funny, but in his mind, it made the world seem a little brighter, if not happier for a brief moment in his bleak but acceptable life.
