About to goto class that starts in 20 mins. I’ll stop by the bookstore to see how things are going and stuff. Tried to sleep, but couldn’t get to dreamland; it was more like a light dozing off. I don’t feel too tired, but I don’t feel too rested either. I think that I’ll need some caffeine to get me through.
I remembered that for my Hist class, the professor is big on the Internet. So I went to his home page and he already has all of the syllabuses and info up for the semester. So I can get a head start on some of the reading for the class.
O. K. Off to school. I hope that I survive. Tonight’s class is Anthropology 569 – Cross Cultural Communities: Sex & Gender. Fun, Fun, Fun. **rolls my eyes**

Damnit, I had an entry all typed up and I deleted it. **sigh** I think it’s a sign that I should get back to work.

Until my first class. Actually the day has started kinda slow. There was one med. size notebook order, but I was expecting alot more to be here when I came in today.
I also kinda chewed out Peter today too cause he was an hour late. **sigh** Don’t know what to do with him. Sometimes I wish he would get hired someplace else so that I wouldn’t have to deal with it anymore. I just need to learn how to be in charge and stuff. I hate being in charge; blame it on my loner mentality. I just like everybody doing their own thing to help the team with little leadership. I mean if push comes to shove, then I can be a tyrant. O.K. I don’t need that big of a push. Like alot of other parts of my life, I live at the extremes; either letting people walk all over me or bullying and torturing people to do my bidding.
What else is going on? Cleaning out the coffee maker so that we can make our own coffee instead of buy $2 Starbuck coffee. The pot itself has been sterilized and cleaned. At one time, there was a layer of mold in it. I bleached it, 409’d it, antibacterial it with two different antibacterial soaps and dishwashed it twice. I think that it should be clean now. The thing that I need to get/clean is the actual maker where you pour the water. I’ve been pouring hot water in it and repeating that. I vaguely remember cleaning out a coffeemaker a long time ago with vinegar. Not sure if I’m dreaming on that or not. Maybe I’ll stop by the supermarket and see if there is some kind of cleaner. Anybody have any ideas?
O.K. Fed Ex is here so it’s time to get back to work.

I should be asleep already.
“Sir, step away from the computer, put your head on the pillow and close your eyes…”
Actually the thing I need to do is uninstall Civ II. A computer game that is years old that can still suck you into it and keep up for hours is something short of amazing and deadly…
Yes, Civ II has to go on the list of Crack Games like EverCrack…

There is this program called PhotoMontage that is so cool. You select the pictures that you want and then it automatically makes a montage out of them. Oh man, I’m going to have fun now.

So I stop watching The Source Awards early, cause they kinda sucked for the most part. The performances were kinda lackluster; I was really disappointed with Mary J Blige. But I was flipping to channels and I was on MTV and I think Timberland has to be one of the best producers ever. I don’t remember the guy that was singing the song, but the name of the song is called Ugly, I think. All I know is that Timberland dropped the beats on it and Missy Elliot made an appearance and it was the shit.
Anyway, I got off the phone with my honey. She got back from Electrician School with an headache. **sigh** I wish that we didn’t get in a fight, cause that took time away from us. Now with both of us working and in school, we will only be able to see each other on the weekends and I know that we will both be tired. Poop for sure.

Just finished a shower and am now in the process of combing my hair. Actually it’s more like pitching hay. While my hair is not officially at “afro” status, it is getting up there. I should just go get it cut, but I’m being lazy. Am I going to straighten it out; most likely not. EVERYBODY seems to hate it, and I never take care of it anyway. So what am I doing. I have no idea. Hmmm…7:55. I guess I should stick my pick in my head and go watch The Source Awards.

One more day before school starts; I am not ready. I will be working Monday-Friday from 8:30-5:00pm and then I have class Monday-Thursday from 7pm to 10pm. I could have sworn that I made a vow not to take any more night classes; what happened? I have to keep telling myself that this will be the last semester of school and that if I survive, I’ll get my diploma.
But I have to survive first. Business has def. picked up at the bookstore and at the warehouse. I took the guys out for breakfast this morning, but that still wasn’t enough to stop Peterand his bitching. I like Peter and he is a good worker; it’s just getting him to work. And he has such an additude about it. I swear I almost lost it. Mark is kinda the same way, but at least Mark works. **sigh** Well tomorrow, it is going to be even more busier, but I Peter will mostly be driving, so I don’t have to listen to him bitch if he does.
This might get me in trouble, BUT, I saw the most perfect breast on a girl today. They were just the right size, the right shape, just everything. She was with her boyfriend, but that didn’t stop Peter and I just staring at her as she crossed the street.
Trying to finish up birthday shopping for Suzanneand getting ready for the weddings that we have to goto in October. Her best friend is getting married in Las Vegas at the Monte Carlo Hotell. So I got us a room for the night. I wish that we had time to stay at least one day, so that we could see the sites, go to a show and stuff, but we have to leave the next day to goto Portland for her sister’s wedding that weekend. Poop! I still need to find a hotel in Portland. Tiffany (the sister that is getting married) is coming down this weekend with her fiance and his children, so it should be interesting to say the least.
We are all going to theRenaissance Faire this weekend, so that should be fun (At least it will be HOT). Suzanneand her younger sister, Kimberlee are going to make me a costume, although it probably won’t be ready for this faire. So I’ll have to rent, which is no problem. This year might also be the year that I buy a cloak for myself. I have been pining for one for years now. I’ll also pick up some shoes for my costume. It’s always good times at the faire and this year shouldn’t be any different.
Looking and listening outside my window, seeing and hearing all of these people on campus is kinda weird after a summer of quietness. There are new people moving in on my floor and it’s interesting to see the stuff that they have has they walk on by. Actually, my roommate, Justin is moving out and I’ll be getting a new roommate. Kinda sucks, but I’m used to it by now. Just hoping that this roommate is cool and all.
Wondering what I should do with this journal and all. I have looked around, and I actually do have a bloggeraccount, but I don’t really like blogger ad I haven’t posted on it. But I am starting to get tired of not being able to get on to Livejournal to read my journal and others. I still haven’t decided to renew or not; I think that when pus comes to shove, that I will renew another year. I’m sure when I start to post on a regular basis again that I will want to keep the journal and all. I still wish that there was a way that I could combine all of my journals into one user name. Oh well.
This is the cell phone that I got Suzannefor her birthday. It’s a little small for my taste, but it’s pretty cool. They have the same phone for Sprint, so I might buy one too. We’ll see. I have some stuff that I bought online, but I’m not sure if it will get here in time. And then I have one more major purchase to make. All these gifts for the love of my life. **kiss**
O. K. I think that I have caught up enough for right now. I need to take a shower and go watchThe Source Awards; see how many rappers and thugs get shot this year.

So I sent Peter and Mark out to the dealer to get a key made so that Mark could drive the van. Then they were suppose to stop by the DMV to get a copy of Peter’s Licence so that he can drive the van. I told then that I needed them back here by 11AM. It is now almost 11:30. Where are they?!? I have to get 50 boxes of school bulletins over to the store at noon…
…Well, with their usual sense of timing,the guys have come back, loaded up the bulletins and are on their way to the store. **le sigh**

Last night after work I took BART up to Pleasant Hill to go see Suzanne. We went to Blondies Pizza for dinner and then went over to Rasputin Records to do a little shopping. I got Missy Elliot’s new one and Prodigy/The Fat Of The Land. I also picked up a used copy of XMen. It was good times for the couple of hours tht we spent together.
Coming back home, I almost got stuck at the BART station cause my ticket didn’t have enough money on it. I had to scrape all in my backpack and pockets for loose change. And then I made the cardinal mistake of talking to someone, asking them if the bus had arrived. In my defense, the guy looked normal, but once he started talking, he did not shut up. And he was just all over the place. 30min later, I got off at the campus and was able to escape the black hole that I was in.
O.k. UPS is here. More ranting in a bit
