So many ideas for my future I've never really bothered to think about what I want to do with my life.
I major in Web Design at CCV but lately, I've become complacent. I don't have the desire to do the homework anymore. It's nothing more than a series of dealing with boring coding exercises and crap like that. I don't want to spend my life doing that.
Doing some thinking, I came up with a few ideas of things I'd like to do before 40:
- Fall in love, get married and have kids. Get a
I guess it's about time I got serious about life in general. From what I've seen the past few days, when you're constantly drinking, the health issues start to slowly creep up on you. I can't keep doing this.
I've also gotten to the point of telling off people. You know that things are that bad if you start doing this.
I need time to reflect on things. Time to get my head straightened out.
Haven't you noticed that half the topics in the 2600 forum could have been avoided if people used the search function? That's the beauty of the internet though. Everyone wants to think that they are/were the first person to post about something, although they're actually one of the other 999,999 people to do so.Just an observation.
It seems like work just won't get better. I'm wondering what will happen to make the situation better. Will we be able to have a good staff in time for busy season? I really do wonder sometimes.
I just wish we could get rid of one person. All they're doing is dragging my morale into the toilet with their laziness. It's to the point where I think it will be downright impossible to find good help throughout the winter. Best to roll up my sleeves and get ready to "grind the stone". I don't like it but I'm left with little choice nowadays.
So, I've allowed the bottle to get the best of me once again. I made a choice that I was not going to buy another beer tonight. I've simply had enough of it. Why am I destroying what I worked so hard to build? Why am I doing this to myself? I don't need the effects of alcohol any longer.From now on, I put my foot down and I put it down hard!
You know, no matter how hard things may seem at time, I still the desire to plug away and keep trying no matter what. I thought my life was over when I was laid off in Jan of 2004 from another company. I thought it could not go on. I had to find faith somewhere. I had to look within myself and find some answers, although some questions I feel are still unanswered. Well, I have a job I love, people I care about there and the determination to keep going. I can't say the same for my personal life,
Strat-O-Gems Can't wait to check this game out on z26 later. Ain't it purdy? In fact, I cannot wait until classes are over next week. I want to play some Atari so badly.
So, I got a raise at work. Woopee. Not like anyone reads this blog anymore.I've been seriously looking forward to the day this semester ends. I'm really crapped out from all the homework and my courses in general. With each passing day, I feel even more like throwing in the towel. Of course, I have to keep going somehow.
I'm pretty sure I passed this. I'm guessing that I could have a grade of 80 or a B- to be exact. Why? Because I just know that I screwed up on some problems on the exam.I've never been good at math at all. This is the second time I've taken Algebra at CCV. I failed it the first time and I'm not looking to repeat that this time around. Hopefully, I can pass this course and get it over with. I'm not interested in taking it for a third time. Wish me luck!
As I sit here drinking my coffee and trying to wake up, I think of all the things that could transpire this week. With my boss on vacation for two weeks, it leaves a lot of possiblities for what could happen. If we're lucky, we can get caught up on stuff. However, we have to work as a team first for that to happen. Also, when things get busier next week, how are we going to get along? I'm still wondering how myself. Survival is important but it can't be done without cooperation among people. Wel
I like the Burnout games quite a bit. I don't play them as often but with the latest Burnout, Burnout:Revenge, I can't get enough of it. Many racing games discourage you from crashing into traffic or other racers. You get penalized or your car gets totalled. However, in the Burnout games, the objective is to crash into as many other cars as possible and create the most spectacular crashes possible. This game does not fail to deliver on such objectives. Sure, the graphics could be a bit more poli
Well, my mom gave me some sad news.Our family cat disappeared 2 weeks ago. Not a trace of her. My mom said she appeared healthy before she disappeared. It's pretty weird. I really miss this cat. Really wish I had seen more of her before this happened. :(I hated to tell my mom, but I don't think "Calico" is coming back. She might have gone off somewhere to die. Pretty old cat though. She's 15 years old. Oh well. If she doesn't come back, I'll make a shrine of sorts for her. I loved that cat. Stil
I recently had an interesting discussion with a friend of mine. We both come from very different backgrounds. He probably went to a better school than I did and goes to UVM. I went to what is considered to be a "not-so-good" school and I go to CCV (community college). It's interesting how we agree/disagree on certain things.His idea of getting by is to use SSDI. I work full-time, 40 hours. He's a full time student. I'm nearly-full time, with 3 courses (4 is classified as full-time). He has a str
What would you recommend that a lefty read? I've read parts of the "Communist Manifesto" by Marx and Engells and "A peoples history of the United States" by Howard Zinn. I've also read "Media Control" by Noam Chomsky and several other pamphlets/books.Can anyone recommend any other books for me to check out?Alternatively, if you have any other non-specific political book suggestions, let me know.
Well, I continue my education yet again tonight. I have a Basic Algebra course that starts in about 37 minutes. Wow. So that means that I will be a lot busier soon. On Friday, my course in Small Group Communication begins. Also, on Monday, my course in Intermediate Programming for the Internet begins. I will have 3 courses and 1 full time job to deal with. Am I going to succeed? I think so. I never back down from a challenge. After all, what would life be without such challenges? I know it would
Lately, I've been thinking a lot more about my behavior of the sexual kind. I never foresaw becoming active again in that area and lately, I've had a bit of difficulty comphrending the effects and purposes of my sexual behavior lately. For example, is casual sex just plain wrong or can it be done without both sides getting hurt emotionally? How do I know where barriers are and to not cross them? It basically has made me question my actions a lot more carefully. There are things to consider when
I hope some of you don't mind double blog entries. I saw gospeede's blog and her post about cats and I couldn't help but offer my two cents.What's wrong with having a cat? My landlord still refuses to allow it. It's quite funny because I can think of 3 other neighbors that keep cats. I wonder, how are they getting away with this? Not to judge my neighbors wrong or anything, but I've seen them and they don't appear to have any physical disabilities. My landlord said they'd only allow cats in that
Oh, how I hate Mondays. I'd go into detail further but let's just say that it's no fun covering for someone, especially someone who isn't cooperating and doing the job the way I ask. Hmm.Other than that, the weather is crap. I want a cool, crisp autumn day. Instead, it's nearly 80 degrees out and a bit hazy. I can't wait for September to roll around. My birthday is less than a month away as well. Can't wait to get home from work and try to get that C64 to work. It's going to take some patience f
I must confess that I have a crush on someone. I won't say her name or anything but let's just say that she's probably one of the nicest looking women I've ever met. We both like the Misfits but other than that, I can't think of anything else in common. I really wish I could communicate with this girl but I always run out of words when I try to. I know there's a high possibility that she might be taken. However, I can't deny my crush on her. What do you do if you have a crush on someone? Do you
rantI've often dealt with a lot of shitty people in my life. People who judge on everything, from looks to what you do for money to all kinds of things. It's a never-ending cycle. My question is, why don't people appreciate honest folks like myself anymore? All this stems from the fact that because I make $8.50/hr (which I feel is too low), I'll gladly pick up bottles and cans at work and return them for money. However, I feel uncomfortable whenever someone walks by and glances with an uneasy lo
I met someone really cool on Fri at a party and we talked and danced for hours. Ended up making out a big in front of a bonfire and all. She says she really likes me but wants to learn how to communicate better using ASL. Before we parted ways Sunday, she gave me her number and address. I'm going to call her later.Really believe that this will work. Spontaneous and unexpected. I definitely felt something there and it wouldn't be right if I didn't pursue it.Just had to share.
I've been taking on more responsibility at work lately. First, my boss asks me to order our cleaning supplies. Before you know it, I'm in charge of tracking our budge by month. Also heard that the head of the Internet dept wants me to work on some projects with them. Pinch me, but am I just dreaming? Are the pieces finally starting to fall into place?
