Peter just called to inform me that his car got towed cause he has an expired licence and registration. He is the only driver this week since Tim is on vacation. Mark is here, but I’m not sure if he is on the van’s insurance yet. I can’t figure out why they towed his car though. I was in the same situation and I only got a ticket for expired plates. I think that there is more to this story and I’m hoping that Peter didn’t get busted for something worse. Anyway, I’m waiting for UPS to get here so I can drive the van to the store to make deliveries and see about getting Mark a key so he can start driving. **sigh** Hopefully, the rest of the day will go quickly.

Not that many people even read my journal or anything. But I’ve just taken a small break from LJ, which I suggest that people might do from time to time. There is life beyond LJ (really, there is). I guess it helped that Suzanne and I were having difficulties, but we sorted everything out and all is good again. But I still didn’t have the urge to post. I’ve just haven’t feel the need or the urge to post. And it doesn’t help that LJ doesn’t work when I do have the urge. I am kinda pissed at the LJ outages since I have a paid account and all. I’ve dabbled with blogger, but was not impressed. And I saw DiaryLand and quickly ran away. So I guess I will renew my account.
So what else has gone on. I got a promotion at work and now I am officially in charge of the warehouse and am on salary. Yay me. I am also filling out the actual application to graduate. Amazing. Suzanne bought menew speakers. They’re not the Klipsch 5.1 speakers that I was looking at, but they work. And they work REAL GOOD.
My computer crashed a couple of weeks ago. Now that was fun. I had finally gotten the replacement RAM from Crucial and I installed it and basicly my computer went bonkers. So I went ahead and reformatted the HD thinking that my roommate had gotten a virus or something on it. Still didn’t fix it. So I did some snooping around and I eventually found out that it was most likely my motherboard reacting to the RAM and not a virus. I have anASUS A7A266 board and there is a problem with the board reading the memory or something, so only one of my memory slots work. So I took out one ot the memory chios and now everything is working fine. It sucks that I had to reinstall everything, and I had to recopy all of my CD’s onto the computer. I also loss all the pictures that I had. Most are burned on a CD-R, and others I have originals in photo book. So it’s a matter of just recopying/scanning them again.
Suzanne’s birthday is comming up and I am tossing ideas around on what to get her. Actually I’m waiting to see how much money I will have to spend on her. I have enough to get her some good stuff, but I want to see how much I’ll get with my salary increase. And then there should also be some financial aid money comming in since it looks like I might get away with only $50 worth of books for all of my classes. On the other hand, the mighty Metro needs to goto the shop for what I hope is only an oil leak. **sigh** What I need to do is look for a new car. I’m not a big fan of Saturn’, but I think that they are still having a 0% finance thing going on. If they are and if I was approved, I wouldn’t mind getting a SC2
But if I don’t then I would have to go through my Credit Union. And the rates are much higher. But I guess I could look at more cars then. I don’t want anything fancy or big. I guess I want something bigger than a Metro, and kinda sporty; and new. I want a new car; I would settle for a 2001 model, but I want it new.
Well, that is pretty much what’s up with me. I did have a vacation where I decorated my room. Pictures are here at Yahoo in the Room Pictures Album. I forgot to resize the pics, so I just posted them all there. Basically I covered my half of the room with pictures that I got out of Rolling Stone Magazine. It’s pretty cool and you should take a look at them and tell me what you think of them. I’m suppose to get a copy of Photoshop and when I do, I’ll resize them and post them in the Portraits Community or something. O. K. I gotta get to bed.

Well, both my mouse and my RAM are on their way here, so that’s some good news.
It was my brother’s birthday today; he fucking 22 years old. That I can’t believe. I told them that I probably wouldn’t be able to come up because of the car. Now that’s poopy.
Tried to register for classes, but I have some kind of hold, so I have to call tomorrow. I wonder if it is because of the Emer. Loan that I have. I’ve made all of the the payment so far. **sigh**
I know what my problem is. It’s the fact that I’m not gullible and that I am a psycho, craized, stubborn person. If I was a mindless sheep, the world would be a much better place. I am almost there; I mean I don’t have any dreams or goals really. I’m not going to get married, I’m not going to have a family. The whole school thing is more for my parents and the culture that I grew up in than it is for me.
And it’s not like I have a career going for me or even a REAL job; I mean I’m just a warehouse supervisor for a college bookstore. It’s not like I’m a teacher, or a lawyer, or a computer programer, or a soldier, or even a construction worker.
My problem is that I should just face the fact that I am too stupid to lead my life the RIGHT way and let someone else….guide me onto the path of righteousness.

Why did the Germans die at the end of Raiders of The Lost Ark? Was it cause they were Nazis performing a sacred Jewish ceremony? Or was it cause it is forbidden to look into the face of God? Cause if it the second, then that’s how I think that I am going to die; while looking into the face of God. Like in the last scene of Dogma.

So I got suckered into signing up to CDHQ one time during a depression spell. What I didn’t know that CDHQ is like a sudisary of Columbia House. Talk about EVIL. Anyway, I have one CD left to buy, and so I told Suzanne that I would buy her a PFR CD. PFR is this Christian group that I think she compared to the Beatles. Anyway, I found them and was going to order one of their CD’s for her, but I remembered the conversation that we had earlier. Actually it is a on and off conversation about Janet Jackson. Suzanne thinks that Janet has no talent, she is a slut, and that she is trying to be Brittney Spears or Christina Aguleria. I on the other hand, know that Janet is probably the most talented out of all the Jacksons, and without Janet, there wouldn’t be a Britney or a Christina. So I think that I am going to buy myself another Janet Jackson CD. I already have Rhythm Nation 1814, which I consider one of the best albums EVER made. I’m thinking either getting Control, janet., or All For You. Actually, what I wanted to buy was Jill Scott; I heard that at Mew’s house and that CD is da shit. Another one I’m thinking about is Alicia Keys. That one single she has I love and I’ve heard good reviews on the radio. But I want to hear more of the CD before I buy it. Actually, I went through the CDHQ catalogue while watching Raiders Of The Lost Ark on Sci-Fi, makring out the CD’s that I have and circling the ones I want. What an exciting live I lead.
I guess they are having a Harrison Ford movie week on Sci-Fi. Yesterday was Blade Runner, Directors Cut; I wish I hadn’t missed that. Tomorrow is Temple of Doom, which is something I can miss, esp. since on WWF Smackdown, The Rock will be on. Let’s be honest, the second Indiana Jones movie wasn’t the greatest. I’ll admit it had some cool scenes, but it is a movie that can be missed.
Still haven’t looked at the schedule for classes. Think that I will work on it at work tomorrow. I think tonight I will try something radical and try to goto sleep a little early tonight.

Being extremely bored and pissed off right now. I broke the mail key when I went to check the mail. I know that this bastard place is going to charge me $50 for a new fucking key. I’m hoping not since it broke in the lock and I didn’t lose it. We’ll see.
Still no mouse. So there is not much that I can do with the computer. Not that there is much I could do with the computer if I did have a working mouse. I should be trying to fix the DVD player, but I’m not. What’s the point if I don’t have speakers.
Well, the metro is making coughing noises. Most likely, it just needs more oil, but I do have the oil leak that needs to be fixed. At this point, I am resigning myself that I need to get a new car; the Metro is going on 10 years almost. So Saturn has a 0.9%/60 month deal. Even though I hate Saturns, I think that I might go visit the Saturn lot to see if I qualify for it. If I do, I might try to get a SC2, which is what Suzanne’s Mom has. **sigh** I already hate this car and I haven’t even seen it or looked at it yet. And I’m not even sure if I can get it with my credit.
Other worries include signing up for classes tomorrow. I have to find a schedule where I can work and go to school and have time to study. Poop.
Thought of the week has been about time travel. Part of it has to do with Planet Of The Apes. There is an article that explains one of the mysteries of the movie at msn.com. But for the most part has to do with a wish that I made about time stoping. I feel like time has stopped for me. I am neither going forward or backwards. I wondering if man was meant to step out of the time contininum, and let the rest of time flow while you stand still. Deep questions I know.
Well, regardless if I get a new car or fix the Metro, I will have to change plans. I most likely wont goto WA to visit my parents. I have the week off paid, but I will probably just goto work anyway, or just take one or two days off instead of a week. I’ll also need to keep costs in mind has I look for Suzanne’s birthday present. And so the snowball becomes an avalanche; Should I cancel going to the Ren Faire to save money? I def. won’t be able to buy a costume this year. And my computer, maybe I should forget the speakers and just keep the headphones. And the weddings in October, they are already question marks because of school, maybe I should just tell Suzanne that I can’t go and save money now. What about Thanksgiving, I have to goto thanksgiving, but maybe I’ll take Greyhound; it’ll only be a 24hr trip.
AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
NOT GREYHOUND!!!!
Snap OUT OF IT, MAN!!!!
**gasp**
well for right now, I think that I will focus on my schedule.
Hmmm, if I don’t get a hair cut and grow a afro, that would same some money.
