I'm A Troublemaker

I'm gonna make this short but simple. Listen to me when I say this. Yes, sometimes I get bummed out that i'm not out on friday or saturday nights partying it up with people, getting drunk off my arse (not so much that part). And yes, I get bummed out that i'm not out on a date with some girl on friday or saturday night. Let me tell you something though. I honestly don't care. My mother and I had a brief chat about my social life before she trotted off to bed, and it bugs her that i'm not doing either of these things. She said that she would be out with her boyfriend on friday nights or out with her friends doing whatever.

Let's get something straight. I am not, will not, and will hopefully never be my mother. Don't get me wrong, I love her to pieces and we're more alike than anyone else in my family, but hear me when I say this, I will never be like her, nor do I want to be. Not that there's anything wrong with her or being her, but i'd rather be myself than have to evolve into the person who's given me punishments for 18 years.

There are days when I wish I was someone else. Days when I really want to be one of those jerks you see getting drunk at the college party in movies. Then I think to myself, why the hell would I ever want that life? It's not glamorous, the thrills are cheap, and the excitment lasts for two hours, followed by a wake up call in some random place in who knows where, with no memorie of the past night. Appealing on the outside, but truly a misconception.

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.

PICCOLO!!

A shiny silver dollar to the man who guesses the identity of this white faced creature. Here's a hint, his name starts with a P, and he's from one of the greatest anime franchises of all time. Oh and he was originally green before hollywood fucked him.

WHO THE FUCK DECIDED THAT PICCOLO SHOULD BE A WHITE VAMPIRE?!?!?! FUCK!!!!! DAMN YOU HOLLYWOOD.

Edit 16/09/08: So what i've been hearing from people all over the net is that this is what piccolo will look like before he uses the dragonballs to restore his youth. With that being said, there's still a good chance he's going to be green and have his turban...well not so much the turban, but i can dream. Plus, james marsters has continually said that he's green, bald and has pointed ears, so if the actor playing piccolo says he's green, then i'm gonna believe him.

Jack Black Is Dead

LMAO Why do us Canadians never get to see this stuff? Oh right, because muchmusic only recently got their licensing back to show stuff from mtv. Stupid muchmusic, can't you see that mtv clearly has better programming.

Drunk On Aluminum

Let's not all jump in at once with blog ideas kids. My life is actually quite boring. Really. All i've done for the past month is get up, go to work, come home and then sleep. On the two days i don't work, I get up, sit at the computer for a few hours, go outside and walk around town, then come home and pretty much spend the night in my room. Yes, the sad unfortunate fact is that this is what i'm pretty much doomed to to repeat this process even when school begins. Everyones going to be off at university so they:

A) Will have much more work than I

B) Still maintain their part time jobs to take up another chunk of time

And C) Spend their remaining few minutes with their significant other.

Wait....some how I think i've written this exact same post before..well maybe not exactly word for word, but the general idea. Even when something exciting does happen to me, it lasts only briefly. For example, last sunday I had to break into my house. My family decided to go to the States for the day while I was at work and they locked all the doors, including the garage door which is how I usually get in. But no, I had to go find a ladder, place it on our deck, climb onto the roof, slide into my sisters room and then walk downstairs to shut off the alarm. After that, there's nothing else to keep the adrenaline going.

Works been pretty shitty lately with me ready to kill every member of our management team. I got written up for something I don't even remember doing, my new department manager has a certain dislike for me, and has the fucking nerve to tell me all the things i'm doing wrong, but then is never in the department when I need her help or have questions to improve my work with. No, no, instead she goes along with her merry day doing diddly squat, and then I get in shit for not having the department looking decent. Plus, no one on management has the guts to tell her off, but instead they whine and complain that the department modulars (moving things into new homes and shifting the department around completely) are still not completed. Nope, to them, starting mods 20 days after they were supposed to be done, doesn't deserve punishment at all. Of course not, because if it did, my department manager wouldn't be on her SECOND vacation. Hmm, she already had 2 weeks off, but now she gets a third week, during her department mods, causing almost everyone in the surrounding departments to have to help out and do them for her. I hate Wal-mart. Oh and another thing that proves how much management hates me, and Jordan. We were both scheduled in for day shifts this week to help with mods. The second that Roxanne, one of the many assistant managers, heard a maintenance page, she told me and Jordan to head outside to bring in buggies, which lasted for around half of both our shifts. Then when we finally got back inside, Roxanne told us to just clean the department up a bit.....every two minutes. She actually came up to me numerous times over a course of 7 minutes, asking "what are you doing?" or "what are you up to?" and many other variations. Even when i'm working hard, she tells me that I need to work faster because I need to get more accomplished for the department. AHHHHH!!! I've even tried to transfer to the electronics department so I won't have to put up with management so much, since they avoid the department like the black plague, for some unknown reason. No, even that won't happen. The personnal manager told me that, they've already hired one person for the department, while another was being interviewed. She then told me that the only way I could get out was if one of our full time associates dropped down to part time and transfered into my current department, allowing for me to switch out. The reason I can't switch out is because my department doesn't have enough people in it, but we can't hire more because we apparently have enough. Yet for some reason, no one ever closes the department at night and then I get blamed for it looking messy when I come in the next day...

Sorry guys and gals, I don't mean to rant like this, but i'm just really P'oed about it. Anyways, i'm sure i'll be posting more recently as school will be starting again next week and I know that even without my friends there, i'm sure i'm going to be part of someones drama.
