This has just been a generally wierd feeling day for me. It also seems like the day has dragged on forever. 15min and then I take off to make the last run to the store. I have to stop by the house to let Justin in so that he can change the fan. Curious thing is, he called me to let me know that he was going to get a rental car, but I could have sworn that the called ID said that the call came from my room.
Anyway, I need to meet Mike at 6:30 to sign the least for our new place, and then we are going to hammer out all of that good roommate stuff like chores and how loud can you bang your girlfriend in your room. **sigh** This box of graduation announcements needs my attention also. Maybe I’ll head to Barns & Noble or Starbucks and work on them there. Also need to bring some boxes home and start packing.

Do You Know the Ten Laws of Life?
If you are capable of more than you are accomplishing; frustrated that you are not making more money; stuck in a rut and not getting what you want; bored with yourself; silently enduring an emotionally barren life of marriage; trudging, zombie-like, through a dead and unchallenging career; “just going through the motions” of your life with no passion, plan, and no goal; living in a comfort zone that yields little too little challenge and too little of what you do want, and too much of what you don’t want; living a lonely existence with little hope for change, then hold on!!!! Dr. Phil has identified the ten laws of life that every person needs to know. These laws are like the laws of gravity – they exist, and you don’t get a vote. Learn them, use them, and improve virtually every aspect of your life, from work to home to spiritual to physical. Ignore them and you’ll continue to pay the price.
Life Law #1: You either get it, or you don’t.
Life Law #2: You create your own experience.
Life Law #3: People do what works.
Life Law #4: You cannot change what you do not acknowledge.
Life Law #5: Life rewards action.
Life Law #6: There is no reality; only perception.
Life Law #7: Life is managed; it is not cured.
Life Law #8: We teach people how to teach us.
Life Law #9: There is power in forgiveness.
Life Law #10: You have to name it before you can claim it.

So I was in this hotel, kinda like the lobby of the TV station in New York that Angelina Jolie was in after her big interview in the movie Life, Or Something Like That. I walking down this hallway and the next thing I know, I am the bodyguard/assistant for Danny Devito (sp?) I follow him to the mens room and he goes into a stall and I stand by the door. In one of the stalls, I can see Jamie Foxx taking a crap, reading Variety magazine. Then from a stall to my left this naked couple comes out and the guy is just hold this girl and fucking the brains out of her against the wall. All that I realy remember is that she was a redhead and had a really nice set of breasts. So Mr. Devito comes out and we go walking along the hall and we get to this gym area. All of the sudden, the police show up and start busting everybody for having cocaine. I start to walk away and one of the police stops me and tells me to hand it over. They want me to hand over this green rubber ball thing, but I give it to my friend, Angie. Angie and I start to walk/fly past the hotel, pass the swimming pool and batting cages when I see some kids next to a freeway. I ask Angie about them and she tells me something, but I can’t remeber what. All I know is that it segwayed into us singing Every Rose Has It Thorn by Poison has we flew over Solano county. Then I woke up.
The moral of this story….The fumes from the incense, pot, and burning electrical is finally getting to me.

I wonder if I am being selfish in my relationship with Suzanne. I mean if I truly loved Suzanne, wouldn’t I want to change whatever about myself that she wanted me to change. Isn’t sacrafice the ultimate proof of love that one can make. I have changed some things about myself and have given up some important things just for her. If I really loved her, it should be so easy for me to give myself up to her and let her mold me into whatever she wants to. It should be easy, but for me it seems so hard to do. Why is it so hard for me to do this? Why can’t I just give myself up completely to her?

So Saturday with the gift girls went well. Didn’t get everything in their department counted, just the clothes. But that enough to get the job done, cause the counts on the clothes were all messed up. Anyway, I still need to finish making corrections in the computer. However, Mark called in sick, so I am working solo and am not sure if I will be able to get the job done today.
So after inventory, went to Golden Gate park to try to hunt for Jason and his new girlfriend (not sure if they are going steady or not. I’m over by 3Com ballpark and instead of going around the city to get to the park, I decided to go through the city. OMG. There are so many different parts of the city that I have never seen. I swear, one day when I get my new car, I am just going to take my camera and just drive around the city taking pictures of houses and views of the city. I went through the Missio, to Noe Valley and Laguna Seca (sp?), Twin Peaks, and another neighborhood (I can’t remember the name right now) Anyway, the ole Metro really took some punishment on some of the hills. **sigh** my poor baby, I really need to get a new car. 🙁
So after going to the park and not finding Jason, I went home to drop off my car and took BART to see the girlfriend. We were going to go out to dinner @ Red Lobster cause they have this really good Apple Caramel dessert, but it was took busy, so we settled for TransWorld Burger. Afterward, we went back to her house and while she was working on pics that she had taken (She had gone up to Modesto for a photo shoot with Geekgrrl and Princezznono), her sister and i were killing massive ammounts of brain cells by watching Cops on Fox.
Sunday, Suzanne took me to see Lord of the Rings again. Not that I don’t think that LOTR is a bad movie (I LOVE IT), but I wanted to see something new. We couldn’t agree on anything else, and I’m glad that we did see LOTR cause they had a preview for The Two Towers. Suzanne totally geeked out in her seat. Can’t wait until Xmas time.
So after the movie, we went to pick up her sister from work and went to see our second movie of the day, Life, Or Something Like It. The movie was O.K., I’m glad that we saw it matinee instead of full price. After the movie we went ot Red Lobster for dinner and didn’t get our dessert. **sigh** I knew that I should have skipped the appetizers and dinner and went straight to dessert.
So that was weekend in a nutshell. There are a couple of topics that I want to go off on, but since I am alone here at work I will have to wait until later to write about them.
O.K. work is never going to get done if I stay here writing on LJ

Ah, the Friends page of Live Journal. It’s a very misleading title. It’s not that the people on your list are you real friends. I mean, some of them could be your real friends. But mostly, it is just interesting journals that you want to read, cause like the shirt says “Because you like to think that people care…”
**update** gift girls are on their way.
So right now I just have a couple of journals listed; those people that I have met in RL and consider friends (People that I would buy them something off of their Amazon wish list). There are some journals that I have to think about; I want to read them, but just cause their lives are so fucked up sometimes…
OK. Gift girls are here time to go

Reading up on legal stuff and Small Claims Court. Not sure if it would be worth it to bring Justin/Dr. Tam to court if they didn’t give me back my deposit. Should have gone to the legal office on campus earlier. Maybe I’ll pop in next week.
Garage door people still working on door. **sigh** Thought they would be finish by now. They had to totally torch the frame of the old door to get it out. Will have to figure out some way to cover up scorch marks before Larry (warehouse property owner) sees them and gets in a hizzy fit.
I hope that they are done before 5pm

O.k. so that smell isn’t my flesh burning, but of the guys using blow torches and power tools while installing our new garage door at the warehouse.
What I am worried about is my room burning down. Last night I was watching T.V. and I heard this electrical poping sound by the computer. I thought it might be the extension cord, but it turned out to be the wiring inside the wall (actually, the wireing in inside a steel pipe against the wall. At the spot where I heard the popping, it was really hot and I could smell the paint cooking. So I unplugged the extension cord, my speakers, the lamp, the scanner and the printer. From the outlet. That helped a little, but this morning, it was still kinda warm, so I unplugged the computerand everything else. So I guess I will be leaving sooner than later. I wonder if I can get the phone/DSL switched now….naw, I’ll wait until next week.
Work is going o.k. Sent Mark to the BBQ at the store; he said that it sucked. Oh well, at least he got free food. I have him cleaning the gift aisle for tomorrow. There is still no definate game plan; I just hope this isn’t a waste of time. Will probably send him home in a hour. And hopefully, the door guys will be done in an hour also, then I can leave early. I love being on salary.
So since I can’t really use the electricity, I am limited to either reading or working on Grad Announcement. It will probably be the grad announcements, cause I really should send them out this weekend.
Also got a email about my 10 yr. high school reunion. **sigh** At this moment, I don’t plan on going. The thing is that if I decide later to go, then it will be more expensive. Main reason I don’t want to go is because most of my friends in H.S. were in grades below me. Then there is the fact that I joined the 10yr college plan. I know that there are people in my class that didn’t even finish college, but I still feel like I am at the bottom of the class. I remember once in high school, there was this discussion about where we would be in 10yrs. Optimisitly, I said that I would be working for some fast food company. If I remember correctly, Melissa Martel was going to be a secretary or legal advisor for the fast food company and Tim Wylie was going to be jr. president or CFO of the company. I don’t know, it’s not that I’m happy or sad at the place I’m at in my life. I’m more resigned and uncaring. No motivation to move up or down in the world. No motivation to do really anything.
Anyway, I should get back to work and make an appearance on the cameras.
