Watchmen
Watchmen
I am the hero, waiting to save them, giving them hope and trust. I am the victim, living off fear, cowering sickness. I wait for nothing, going in circles, playing the hero, saving the victim. I am the aftershock, caused by the hero, the hero's good actions, the victims bad fortune. They play the game, saving the world, knowing no others, owing them nothing, it's our time!
I AM THE WATCHMEN!
Giving my life to them, never looking back, don't question what I am. I feel no pain, I gain what you give, my city must live, now try and stop me!
I am the villain, giving you purpose, making you worth something, i'm the reason you. You'll never catch me, i'm just a clown and i'll always win. Death is my partner, sin's all I see. I'll kill that hero, he must not live.
I AM THE NOTHING!
I ALWAYS WIN!
Somebody dies and it's not a sin. I'll play my game, and make my point to him.

OH! The Boss Is Coming. You Better Look Busy, They're Not Paying You For Nothing.
Oh...Hello there. Yes, it's been ages, but none the less, i've been told that I need to write more here. Plus, enough has transpired that I can actually write on here again, and have a decent amount of things to say. First off, Happy 09 and Merry....whatever you celebrate. Yeah, christmas isn't the only holiday out there, so i'm being considerate.
So, what's new you with J-moose you might ask? Well...not a whole lot, but there are a few things to discuss. "Let's wind the clocks back. A year ago these cops and lawyers wouldn't dare cross you. I mean, what happened? Did your balls drop off?" - Joker.
Sorry I couldn't resist. I've probably watched that movie about 9 times since I got it on blue ray, and then a half today at work since I have a digital copy. Anyways, i've been asked to come back for a second co-op. Technically I asked, but still it's a second co-op to learn even more stuff about tv. I'm going to be in charge of the other co-ops and i'll be directing every show. Plus, I have to go out to at least 5 city council meetings and do at least one AHL game. The ahl game might be harder to do since it's a friday night and I have to work fridays. Even if I get it off, i'd have to make sure I wasn't opening on the saturday. By the way, Wal-Mart finally realised that opening at 6am was a huge mistake. Now we're open at 7am. I'm waiting for the day that they go back to 8 am and I can start wearing my regular clothes again. That was a good summer, which got ruined by a simple change of state. State being Old Wal-mart to Super centre. Also, if I haven't mentioned already in a previous post. I'm in Electronics now. I was super stoked to get in there, even with my availabilities. Can't do Mon-Thurs due to co-op, which is technically a second job now, but more fun than wally world.
Okay, so Electronics was fun when I started. I had Taylor, Omar, Shelby and....well that was about it, but they were good people. Shelby even vouched for me to get into the department, which i'm sure she regrets now since...long story short, I said something to one of the associates in connection centre and asked if Peter, Shelby's boyfriend and the other Connection Centre associate, had gone on break. Of course the response was yes. Now this wouldn't be an issue if Shelby hadn't decided to go with him, leaving me to work by myself in a department with tons of customers. It got busy as soon as she left. Our other associate was on lunch, so Shelby knew she shouldn't have gone for break, since she knows there has to be two of us on the floor at all times. Anyways, when they got back 15 minutes later, the other connections associate pulled shelby aside and had a chat with her. I'm assuming it was about going for break with Peter, but I don't know for sure, but for the rest of the night she was giving me the cold shoulder, so I can only assume. Even since then we've not gotten along as well. Especially when I wasn't too warm towards one of our new associates. I made it clear I wasn't fond of her, and Shelby was, so naturally we butted heads at least once. Now I just keep my mouth shut about it, even she asked me last night why I don't like this associate and that they're so nice. I just didn't like this person. Easy as that. I know another associate who didn't either, but i'm pretty sure he kept his mouth shut around Shelby. Not to say that Shelby's mean or rude. In fact I owe for getting me in Electronics. It's just that lately, she's been..different. I've got nothing against her, honest, but I just wish it wasn't so tense. And it's not just me and her, oh no, i'm pretty sure everyone in the department has issues with at least one person. Excluding B-Love. He's too quiet and nice to actually say anything rude about anyone. Omar has been really pissed with one of the older ladies in our department. It was so bad they had a bit of a yelling match last weekend. Then she had the nerve to go talk to other associates and say that he was saying all these bad things about her, when in reality she was shit about him. He wouldn't stoop that low. Never. He's got to much repsect for himself to go down to that level of childishness. Even I don't like this person. She steals customers from me all the time. If I say we don't have something, she immeadiately pipes up and says "Wait, I might have seen that over here last week". So she drags the customers to the back wall to find an item that we don't have. Or I'll be talking to a customer about a game and they'll ask my opinion on it. And as soon as I go to open my mouth, "Oh my sons got that game, he loves it. It's so good for him". Well thanks, but they weren't asking you, they asked me. Some people aren't happy unless they're being heard. It's unfortunate.
*sigh of relief* Boy am I glad to vent that out. I think thats good for now.
See Kristina, I still write here when the mood strikes me. Oh, here's a vid for you guys to enjoy. It's a song from a video game "Little Big Planet" but it's so catchy that i've grown to love it.

Aerodynamic
Scratch that last post. I might as well write, now that i'm here. First off, it's been almost a month since my last post, so the first question is....how are you people? I know I have a small amount of people who look at this, so I ask purely to show that I do care in my own way......Wow does that ever sound cheesy. No, I don't really care, but it's good to ask. Anyways, the last month has been...boring. I've seen Giacomo/Felicia once, due to scheduling conflicts I had to cancel on them at the last moment a few weeks back, due to co-op commitments. Co-op's been pretty fun. I generally like most of the people there, but one of the co-ops just gets on my nerves so badly, and when people get on my nerves on a constant basis, I tend to be a jerk or overly rude to them almost everytime we talk. Let's put it this way, me and her will never be friends. ..Ever! But in all honesty, she's been there as long as I have and she still can't set up the studio properly, while me and the other co-op can do it by ourselves. Two weeks ago she got there an hour before me and began setting everything up for that nights show. When I arrived she said that everything was done, so I didn't go bother to go look, I just went and started doing the graphics for that evening. Ten minutes later, our techincal director, Dave, came in and asked if everything was done, to which she told him, "Yep, it's all done". Now, not only did Dave begin listing off all the things that needed to be done still, it made me look bad for not doing any of it. Then again, I was told it was done, so I didn't bother to look, nor did I think that I would have to make sure she did it all. So me and the other co-op went into the studio and began finishing all the things that needed to get done. I decided to just go about my work and not say anything, which annonyed her, causing her to say "So your just gonna ignore me?" First thoughts after hearing that.. A)Shut the hell up.. B)You haven' said anything in 5 minutes, and i'm not a conversationalist so don't get pissed when neither of us are talking and then tell me i'm ignoring you... C)Shut the hell up. Then when I did respond by saying, "No, but what am I supposed to say. You said you did everything so I started doing graphics". Her response "Well, you should have looked over everything and made sure I did it all"...Fuck no.
I am not a babysitter. I gave that profession up to work at wal-mart, which is not much better, but none the less. She's been there as long as I have and learned how to do everything. I've set up by myself before, the other guy co-op has set up by himself before. She is the only one who still screws up while doing it, and on top of that blames me for not looking over everything. I understand that she can't move the plasma tv by herself, but she didn't even tell me that it needed to be moved, so I didn't know that still had to be done. Now here's the best part. This past thursday, me, her, and the other guy co-op were having dinner in the break room, and watching tv. Dave comes in and says the studio still needs stuff done and that we shouldn't have started eating before the studio was set up. Now, this time, me and her set up so we're both at blame for this one. Really, only the plasma screen needed to be moved, so me and the guy co-op went and did it quickly. When we went back to the lounge we were all talking and I said something about us having to finish set up before eating. My mind's a little hazy at this part, but I know I said something about her telling me I need to make sure she's done everything right, causing her to get angry and completely deny ever saying that. I kind of just tuned her out as she was got angrier with me, as I didn't want to say something i'd regret. She stormed off to the control room and stayed there until me and the other co-op came in. She then moved to apologize to me, but saying that I annoy her greatly and that I don't realize how rudely I treat her and how much of a jerk I am. Now, correct me if i'm wrong, but apologies come with "I'm sorry", somewhere in them, not reminding me of how rude I am. I told her i'm like that to most people, which is somewhat true, but most people and me work past that and eventually become friends, and they accept that i'm weird, rude and off my rocker.
Anyhow, i'm really not to fond of the days when she and I have to work together, because it's awkward and if I say anything, it's considered rude. Other then her, i'm diggin the co-op very much. It's fun, and it's exactly the experience I need.
I'm heading off to bed since i'm tired and have nothing else to say, but if I remember correctly, this blog is now 1 year old, so happy one year to me! I'll do another post soon about the past year, but until then, be patient.
