Bottled Screams

ugh

2011-08-16T13:29:00.002-04:00

so im on day two of being screamed at by patients. some people you can just not make happy. no matter how hard you try, no matter how much you bend over backwards they will still continue going at it with you. i experienced something today that i havent before. i refunded everything..all the money the patient has paid...and let them keep the glasses...the response i got, was....what else are you going to do for me. i about exploded. what the hell kind of question is that. sorry all for lack of punctuation and caps...my phone isnt letting me. ill hav to play with that if im gonna blog from my phone. more later.

unplug

Time to start again.

2011-08-01T01:16:00.003-04:00

*Cracks Knuckles * Lets do this. Time to restart this thing. I need a direction. I create a whole new blog depending on what I choose, but until then this will be very hit and miss on topics and things I want to talk about. I dont know if I want to do this as a personal one, /rants, and werid day happenings...or if I want to turn this into something constructive. Something worth reading for people who would be interetested..gaming/music I dont know. I'm no insider on the industry. Maybe a forum for writting lyrics? Updates to come...catch those people up who maybe check this fromtime to time. It is just too late currently.

unplug.

kittys, rain drops, and sadness in the world

2006-06-12T19:01:00.000-04:00

On sunday we decided to go get a kitty. We bought all the essentials. Everything a cat could need. Then we went to pick out out. A small little grey tabby was hesitent at first, and then she hopped out, looked me in the eye and jumped onto my knee. she was perfect at 10 weeks old. Little Lia was her name.

We brought her home and she was wide eyed and investigated a bit before a nap. But she wouldnt eat. Then she threw up. Little Lia didn't feel so well.

Went and got a vets number from E's parents, but cause it was late and sunday he was not there to take an appointment. We returned to little Lia excited to see us. She romped and climbed me for an hour while we played wow. I still have a few claw marks.

Then this morning she was playing on the bed. kneeding elisha's back and meowing. Then at about 4am she began meowing, but differntly. then at 6am I found her dragging her body across the floor as she cried at us. I got up and tried to pick her up. she wouldnt right herslef at all, not even try to put her feet down.

I cried. inside. We rushed her to the Emergency Vet clinic where we left her at 7:30 when i had to go to work. Poor kitten. They said she had contracted guardia, and had gone into a hypoglysaemic coma. she had just meowed at me 2 min's earlier. 2 MINS!

We left her there in their capable hands, the doctors out look was grim. She was one sick kitten. Elisha and i came back, i showered, and headed to work. The vet called my cell, the said they would only call if there was trouble. She had given them a scare. She had stopped breating. I cried a bit more in the car, gathered myself and went in to work.

I called they said she had made a turn for the better and could lift her head. poor kitty. strong kitty, i thought.

I wanted elisha to eat with me so she came down, and while we were at bw3 my phone rang again. My heart sank, and i ran out the front door.

"i have some bad news about lia" the man said. "she passed away while she slept."

I cried a tear for my baby girl.

Now I sit here, and I miss that damn cat. less than 22 hours after we met, she passed on.

Kitty heaven they say, she's fine they say. I still miss her. Lia love you always 6/12/06 2:40 pm.

I sit here and Titan our brand new 2 year old male sits on my lap and rubbs all over me with love. and i cry. He's has a new home and a family that will love him, but he has no idea how much his predecesor will be missed.

He was a lucky find. a gem. He makes this soo much easier. The healing begins and the bonding with a new pet sets forth.

Miss you Lovely Little Lia.

sooo

2006-04-30T09:34:00.000-04:00

my beloved sabres have dropped to games to those no-good hacks in phili. Phili riding mr. foresburg and mr. esche have managed to twart the sabre's effort in trying to make the first round easy....giving once again, all sabres fans a taste of what heart failure is like.

Im starting to get tired. working 2 job is taxing...especially when it eliminates days off. Im starting to wake up tired. and want to go to bed as soon as my head hits the pillow. It annoys me. I hate going to bed. im a night owl. not a day person. damn it. oh well i guess u cant make money, and have fun as well. talk about suck-ta-tude.

I actually have to work to day. talk about no fun. Looks like i will be getting one saturday off every 2 weeks as my weekend. I better start counting 2 days as 1. so monday should look more like monday-tuesday which i get to take a long nap, and tuesday should be wednesday-thursday, where i get to take a long nap...and so-on and so-forth.

oye i can tell this headache isnt going away anytime soon. welllll shit.

2006-04-26T20:37:00.000-04:00

If your a Flyer's fan and you booed when Dumont was seriously injured. GO FUCK YOUR SELF! more to come for sabres fans....and more insults for the worst fans in hockey (Phili's)

only one thing to say

2006-04-23T11:01:00.000-04:00

SABRES WIN! Game 2 on monday!

HIGH and low...

2006-04-02T10:50:00.000-04:00

Well it never seems to fail, that for all my triumphs there is a defeat in there as well. E got let go yesterday. That was really not a fun day. The thing of it all is, i can understand firing someone who is not doing their job or breaking some rules that the job had laid out... bud she hadn't. It seems to fishy. She never got a key. she never got trained. and they fired her AFTER she had worked a 6 hour day for them. And, unless she was leaving work and not coming home, she was working 9-10 hrs a day for them. Something seems really really wrong. So with the luck of my new job, comes the lack of hers...now we have to try to make ends meet. she applied here at sears. we are going to see what her unemployment is going to be like as well. and in a few days she'll start applying for new jobs. not exciting at all. i guess i should have been wating for the other shoe to fall on this one. why on her. she dosnet have any self esteem anyhow.

over use of caps anyone?

2006-03-31T16:43:00.000-05:00

Hmmm seems i have been using the capslock key a bit too much as of late. lol. i really dont have anything to say at the moment. I was really just a long day at sears, and im flippin tired. idk why...i didnt do anything at all today. No really...i havnt...doug left with 0 dollars after a 5 hour shift...and i have about 500 in. Nothin i made any money on though. talk about lame. cant wait to start my new job. im really really excited. 8:30 the 10th!

Loaded guns in ur face

2006-03-31T09:42:00.000-05:00

Well, for those of u who dont know. I took the job at Ai. looks to be a good move. sears is making it easier for me to miss them. my paycheck sucked ass. i worked my fingers to the bone for this damn company...and what did i get....squat. thats how business seems to be going these days. The college is going to give me full benifits after 30 days...and double my pay of my better days here at sears....HOW THE HELL CAN I COMPLAIN. I will say this. I will have friends as I leave here, but they will no longer be co-workers. thats makes me sad. its like moving w/o moving. i will see these guys too, and that was confuses me. its not like im going to leave the state and not see them again.

I freakin hate Jeff. grrr. resource meeting. i will post later.

Shiznit

2006-03-29T15:17:00.000-05:00

They called. Brown-mackey college has called me back...about the job i interviewd for.....and im at work. off all the irony....i cant answer my phone at work...and im at work. OH WHAT DO THEY WANT. they left a message...it keeps beeping at me. STOP THE INSESENT BEEPING. NOOOOOOO...i want to check it....but the district manager is hovering in HA. Make him go away... or better yet....make John get here faster.....im soo nervous...are they calling to say "thanks but no thanks" or "here have a job" COME ON! AHHHHHHHHH

sears what a h00t

2006-03-29T12:36:00.000-05:00

how the hell am i supposed to make money when there are no customers...and the one i got..i have to find a way to tell them that they cant buy a closeout tv they want because they dont want a pa. come on. why me. everyone else is getting a great pa month....why am i not. guess its the last 6 months of being the top dog. jason stole it last month, and it looks like doug is the runaway train this month. its good to see the other guys do so well. they will need that momentum to carry if i end up leaving. this job has been soo good to me...its hard to leave. but i have to. I really do. least we will still be playing poker. thats good to know. i wonder how hunters is doing speaking of poker. joe said he had to take his son, hunter, to the hospital to get some fluids in him. guess i will call him in a bit.

I really got to bust out the camera so i can get some shots of these guys for all to see, maybe follow in wyatts footsteps as pics go.

missing the guys back home.

a lot.

better get back to not selling anything to my non-existent customers.

w00t does not begin to describe it

2006-03-27T17:19:00.000-05:00

Ever have a day where the cosmic jigsaw puzzle makes some sense? I did today. I played wow like a normal day off. almsot hit 24. makes for a good day right? I was sitting there at about 4 when i saw movement out my window. Who could be knocking at my door, hopefully my music isnt too loud. Oh its my parents arriving early to say hi to me! Hi. so i finished the deadmines run with my awsome guild, and talked with my parents for a second...when...suddenly....the phone rings...and its doug. he say hi. my parents ask me how the job hunt was going. i tell them that its been bad that i havent gotten any calls. i set the phone down....and it rings again. Its the Art institue of OH calling me back for an interview!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF i said. so now i sit here needing to shave, print resumes, dance, print references, lookt at clothes, dance, think about getting up real early to get a haircut, eat right, smell right, and o...btw...did i mention DANCE!

2006-03-21T09:15:00.000-05:00

I really dont have anything to post. I am really just waiting for a trojan scanner to finish on the computer. Yes I am infact looking for all those small greeks that got in my computer somehow. It was weird, i was checking my WOW guild forums and i got a weierd ass message so i am checking out to see if it was an odd pop-up add for a virus removal tool, or if it was a virus/spyware. *hunt hunt hunt* Idk. I't cold here for a change. We got an INCH or so of snow and the schools almost all canceled. HOW FUNNY IS THAT. I could have sworn that Ohio was in the north. oh well. they dont know how to plow around here that s for sure. They lay 3 inches of slat for an inch of snow. so we end up with more ice...and with ppl who dont know how to drive in snow., let alone ice. Its really not a good mix at all. lots of accidents. glad to day is my day off....too bad i have to run errands. "son of a bitch. son of a bitch! Madre de dios!" see u all!

Moopey?

2006-03-06T10:43:00.000-05:00

Im debating making the blog an MMORPG blog. Due to the damn fact that I own the three biggest ones to day. DDO, COH/COV, and WOW, and AOA to a lesser extent. Dont ask how this happened. I said i would never pay for a game on a monthly basis, and here i am....silly haji...paying for 3 games.....every month. am i crazy. yeah probably. i dont know really what im going to do about this right now. i think im going to have to drop one. otherwise, i will never get any lvls in any of them. I think right now...the one to drop sadly is coh/cov...

/rant on

just had the weirdest call ever. a customer just called me at sears and asked me if "if my credit card got cancelled by someone, will my computer still work?" I asked her to explain. and the result was oddly the same. Im guessing her computer broke at the same time her card was canceled. of she was hacked while online. but it really left me asking wtf.

/rant off

back to MMORPG. yeah i just hit a roof in coh/cov. there are not enough ppl on to help at higher lvls, and whent they are...they dont want to help. its bent. and though i love to play with elisha..it no fun on days im off...is soloing all day. good for bordem....but in the definition of MMORPG is the word MULITPLAYER, not MSPOG (massivly solo player online game) which i think would be an oxymoron. lol. joke joke. heh there i have customers now. j.

sad note

2006-02-28T09:03:00.000-05:00

If you dont know oz, then im going to post it here. Mike Kelly has passed away. Mike at the age of 49 was notorius for not taking care of himself, but he had so much knowlege to share with everyone. Mike's passion in life was his baritone, he loved showing up for band, and picking on Raz. He was young at heart and really made me feel at home while i spent time playing in the JCC band. 6 years later after being in and out of the hopital, i belive that where ever he is, he is better off. The man that tipped me off to PDQ bach, the darwin awards, Hitchhikers guide, and other assorted stuff. He was one of those people that you meet, take for granted, and then when they are gone, wish u had a chance to spend more time with them. cheers to you mike. going to have a drink on you buddy. thanks for the years of fun, and the great times we all had.

Next on fox when building attacks....

2006-02-28T08:23:00.000-05:00

Few CD reviews, cause thats what I have been talking about on here for a while. first up, Artic Monkeys.

Artic Monkeys
Whatever people say I am, Thats what I'm not.

Break out CD. If u like british music, or punk, heck even alternitive ur going to like this cd. there is nothing melodic about the lead singer's voice. But, damn he has the most inflective voice, only second to bowie. actually to tell the truth, he sounds like a very young, and more angry Bowie. For those of you who know me. I love bowie, so this was a natural buy. All the songs are really up tempo. These guys like the screaming guitar rifts, and fast drums. Best part of that, is that is what they are good at. I will say i was jamming out soo much in the car after i bought it last night, on my way to poker i miss a turn going to joe's house cause of "i bet you look good on the dance floor" which seems to be their big single...seeing as i hear it once a day on Upop on XM. Some of the best tracks for those of u who are download/then buy junkies....I bet you look good on the dance floor, perhaps vampires is a bit strong..., and when the sun goes down. those are the 3 best songs. dance floor and sun goes down are on the website as videos if u just want to check them out. One of my fav, on the cd, that is not really a specific release is "mardy bum". thas a good song, I really like the guitar. odd that it sounds like martin baum? lol. 10 out of 10 for brit fans, others 8 out of 10

The second is Coheed and Cambria.

Coheed and Cambria
the second stage turbine blade

This Cd is sooo Rush-like the first time i heard it oz and mark had be going that it was Rush. His voice is very close. Its only a 10 track cd that can play out in about 30 mins. so its not long at all, but its easy to re-listen to. so it dosent really matter that its short. They are this odd sort of prog rock, and clasic rock sort of feel. they like to really jam. Strong tracks Second stage turbine blade, Time consumer, and 33. I would say that my fav track would be everything evil. man does that song kick. 10 out of 10 for prog rock or rush fans, others 9 out of 10
This is not a new cd. but was their first as far as i can tell.

There ya'll go. go get them both if u dont already have them. cause u should. "ur a scum bag dont ya know" so everyone go find something else to do now. go on. really. nothing more to seee here....for now.

heh

2006-02-21T13:05:00.000-05:00

Wrong control arm they tell me. heheh. oh well. my car will get fixed hehe. yeah so..i noted a few days ago, i had the artic monkeys cd. well i actually have a few mp3's and was told that the import was as good as mine when it came in...and wouldnt you belive....that...IT DIDNT COME IN! Oh well, i will have to wait to hear the last few tracks. the ones that i have right now are really really good. Wish the damn thing would show up though. i like to support bands like that. they really know how to rock out. oh well. mayber next time. heh. unplug j.

once upon a time...

2006-02-20T08:36:00.000-05:00

Soo, I have been triyng to get my hands on an american realease of the enitre Artic Monkeys CD and CANT! I dont think it out yet. speaking of things i dont have. I dont have a car! Thats right i bent the control arm, and my car is in the garage. im living off of other ppls wheels and i hate it. I had to change my shift today....so i could take my car to the damn shop. I luckily have a great chop here in cinci. soo im stoked. I just hope this is not to expensive! cause that would really really suck. i cant afford really really expensive. oh well thats all 4 now. j.

Update

2006-02-13T17:57:00.000-05:00

Well just a few notes to keep this thing fresh. I missed out on tickets to the oasis concert...shit. in the CD player im lamenting that fact by listening to the artic monkeys... been listening to them on upop a lot, loved them soo much went and got the cd, the import. Its one of the best of this year. they really rock. guess oz has heard of them too, saw it after i bought the cd on his blog. lol. what else. hmm..nothing really. been spending lots of time watching olympics...i dont think the US women have a chance agains the canadiens....its going to be messy. The mens braket that starts tomorrow should be intersting...thought i hate the all star teams that the countries put out now. i think they should go back to amatures. more intersting i think. unknowns to make their dreams come true, not a battle for a countries glory by taking the NHL splitting them up by home country and calling it a competiton...funny now that i think about it! oh well. i still love it. different chemistry between players we dont get to ever really see play together...like a US vs the world Allstar game. meh. unplug j.

Work again

2006-01-23T16:04:00.000-05:00

So here i sit and here i stand, nothing at all to do. bored with all that is sears. seems i have been left to my own activities. the managers arent really ever around. Im looking forward to getting back into playing poker this evening, should be fun, not like my old game, but fun. these guys barley know how to play, but they are all nice ppl, which is what will keep it fun.
Im so tired. I havnt slept well for the last 3 nights, bad dreams. not really really scarry, but, dreams that i don not like.

Im watching neverending story. i still dont like this movie, i get bored quickly.

J.

D'oh colts

2006-01-15T16:34:00.000-05:00

With a sadness in my heart, i watched my colts get picked apart by the steelers. Wow did that suck...they were down the whole game, and even when they had a shot to win/tie, the most sucessfull kicker in the entire league missed. HE MISSED. and as always with my luck....it was wide right. WIDE RIGHT. why me. i hate wide right. my voice was hoarse, my heart is sore, and now i don my Seahawks hat. GO SEAHAWKS! or maybe i will go and root for the team that cruched my team. they beat my ever hated bengels so why not right....No just not ready to do that. Oh well. :-(

Oh GOOOOD retards

2006-01-12T16:49:00.000-05:00

Yay, look everyone i have a retarted satan on my blog Wooohooo. i should interview him/her/it/demon. Could be an intersting piece. maybe i could win a pulitzer or a noble peace prize or something. YES! Well as far as satan goes...i hate him too. He smells like fish and he's just like all the other religions.

Interview with satan part 1.

Waters: so satan i see ur doing blogs these days hows that going?

Satan: well its a good recruiting methodology

waters: i c, so do u do stupid things like this all the time?

Satan: well yeah actually. I really hate the old way of fire and exploding out of stuff, this way i spend lots less energy.

Waters: oh i c so u have become more hi-tech as well as lazy have u?

Satan: only way to survive

Waters: has anyone told you that u smell like fish?

Satan: what my cologn? HOW OUTRAGEOUS!...actually yes.

Waters: So i was not wrong in saying that you smell like fish?

Satan: no

waters: anyway on to a new subject, if thats alright.

Satan: sure

Waters: so why post on my blog?

Satan: u seemed anti-christian

Waters: and what made you think that i would like you any better?

Satan: I just assumed...

Waters: assuming makes and ass out of you AND me.

Satan: hey

Waters: only and observation. anyways i guess you dont realize that ur a part of religon as well or that even as a stand a lone religion you are no better than any other, infact maybe less.

Satan: i take that personaly, I was cast out for a reason you know.

Waters: Yeah but by which religious sects standpoint???? *cues laugh track*

Satan: was that a laugh track?

Waters: *looks about the room*ahhhh... no?

Satan: are you making fun of me, cause if you are i will have your soul

Waters: you cant have it cause i dont belive in you....

To Be Continued next post.............

Vision

2006-01-12T11:25:00.000-05:00

So it took some time, and a bit of guff, but i started the epic quest to find a job that makes me feel like i didnt waste 10k on college afterall. I applied/sent a resume to a company called HSR they have 2 branches, one in cincinnati about an exit away from my apt, and one in chicago. I figure if i can get in their doors, they will hire me. I just need them to take the time to look at some of the stuff that I can do. I sent a bunch of stuff, a brochure, a flyer, and a pretty well written cover letter. I want HSR to call me really really bad. I want a damn job that i can see the fruits of my labour and not getting pissed off every day with what im doing.

im tired of ppl coming in to sears and giving me shit about policies, asking questions that make no sense, and the worst of the lot: the churchies who come in and try to save my god forsaken soul. Im sick of this shit. Id rather have a dead soul that will wander the universe with no home for all eternity than be told what to belive in and how to belive it. I dont tell them that their way suck, yet they precisit in telling me that mine do. how fair is that? I dont bother them. I wonder if the realize how stupid they sound. Had a guy in this morning tell me that christianity was the only real religion because "Our savior died and came out of the ground, no other religion has that, they all die." I managed to give a nod and not laugh square in his face. talk about a lame argument. I wanted to ask him to prove it. like that was going to happen, and on that same note, i guess i cant prove that i love someone either. That last comment was to sate kevin if he is reading, so he dosent think im bashing, i realize there is another side of the argument, and that they are right in their own way. I guess Liza and I will always think like scientists. i belive in higher beings, but thats for a different post I think.

again..

2006-01-11T15:11:00.000-05:00

I want a real job. realized this a while back. Not that Sars is bad or anything, but Sears will always be Sars. lol. damn sign. anyway. Its not what i signed on for any longer. I wanted to be there cause jimmy was there and oz was there and then wyatt once i got to know him. We had fun at work. Dont get me wrong i like the guys i work with now, john is awsome, and jason is easy to get along with, but they are my only friends here and i have to work with them too. It seems that i also go passed up for management. what the hell does it take? do i have to kill my own mother...hmm speaking of that, i should call my own mother. lol. there are a lot of ppl i should call. but thats not important now. I

m going to put something to a vote. Should one stay in a job they hate because of good money and convience or move to a job that they really want and not get paid very much for making the switch? is it going to be sanity and love what im doing or insanity and hate every day so i can have cash in my pocket? what you all think? now we will see who reads this damn blog

speaking of readership.....i freaking hate this spam posts.....i hate it a ton. really i do

so piss off ya scum bumms...dont post ur propaganda here or ads, i want ppl with opinions, ppl who want to talk about stuff, not ppl who have a stock post they are posting on EVERYONES blog they find.

lol

/rant off

so thats if for now, i hate sundays (wenesdays) i dont want to go to work tomorrow and cant afford to not....what a life.

Bottled Screams

2006-01-09T14:36:00.000-05:00

well its been a long while, been to damn busy to keep this up. lets get some shop stuff out of the way.

Hockey: Sabres all the way. been on a tear since the beginning of the year. love to see it. can't say that we have had a season this good in a long time. I k oz is excited, and maybe kev to an extent. keep up the faith. maybe this is out year.

Playoff football: well i called the Bungles are out THANK GOD. Go INDY. I got soooo tired of hearing about how the bengals were going to take it all from the frothing insane fans here in cinci. soooooo good to see them get knocked out, sad to see palmer go down. all i have to say is that it wasnt a dirty hit, he was stumbling and hit lower than he planned to, all the reports say it, and the cinci players (who played with him for 4 years cause before becoming a steeler he was a bengel) said that too. I hope new england dies. My predictions: Indy and the Bears. I think carolina no matter how strong will not be able to stop the run game of Chicago. if they get to orton they will have a chance, but i dont know if they will be able to the way the O line has been playing. I think Indy and NE will be a close game, i have no idea who, but im hoping manning got the monkey off his back, and will be able to take down brady and his crew! love to see a Colts vs Bears SB 40. just like the old days!

Fantasy sports: Doing ok in hockey, and couldnt win any of my damn leagues. whats witht that i was the #1 seed in 2 leagues and couldnt win! gah. i wanted to play in a champions league. better luck next year haji!

Personal stuff: Nothing new, hating having to work 30+ hours, but i guess thats what the real worls is about isnt it. I hate having my full time job being with sears. its mostly because of the upper management. the store manager and the district manager are asses. long story ppl who want to know can call, not that there are ppl who read this damn thing.

What im watching at work: Hero, for the second time today. goooooood movie!.

ODD: wish doug would stop hitting me with the tape measure. oh well.

Life in general: great. i want a day off. which is tomorrow. yay for days off.

Comments: miss playing poker with the boys (and joy) back home. cant wait to start a game down here, it will be fun.

unplug. j.

Its that time again.

2005-10-05T17:03:00.000-04:00

Dinner is all set to go, the tv's off and the whir of the computer echoes. The crowd explodes into a cheer. Thats right, living soo damn far away from my favorite team in the world is going to be the death of me. Thank everything that is good, that the nhl knows this is a problem and they offer web casts, or i would be forced to go on some ravenous chicken wing killing rampage, though that may have to happen any how. I'm all set to listen to the game....i btw dont want to hear about all u luck saps who got to go, or were able to see the stinking game on TV. Needless to say, i got the jersey all ready, got my ice cold canadien imporeted labatts on hand, its all set, now just to wait of the puck drop at 7. should be good. Hope you (oz) have managed ur fantasy hockey team. CAUSE ITS ON BITCH! Im going to go get drunk! Have a good one!

Fantasy Hockey. Thank all the gods

2005-08-22T15:39:00.000-04:00

It's that time of year again. To gab the sticks and get the gear out of the closet. That's right all, its fucking hockey time. And about damn time too, if i may say so. I have been waiting for this since last year. Actually it would be longer than that now. Since the end of the 2004 season. That is way to long. Well as per usual I decided to do that fantasy thing and see who wanted too. I figured that oz from home and erik from school would be in on it, and maybe a few from cinci, but we shall see. Don't make me kick my own ass guys...really. lets do it this year. Get everyone. There are 20 slots....so plenty of room.

The league id # is: 11783 and the password is: win. Its on yahoo. Go. NOW. DO IT. please....

I Can do it!

Well after weeks of stressing over this damn job, I got the full time. It's not as good as I thought it would feel. I got really really close to the guys here at 1810 and felt horrid to get it over them. Jason, Doug, and Nick all deserved a good shot at getting this job. Hell, even the guys who did apply deserved a shot at it. John, if he could have taken that many hours, would have been a good fit as well.

It was hard. I hate having to compete with them to get a job, which was essentialy more hours. They have all been soo good to me, while i was getting myself acclamated. What is good, is that the job was nothing more than gurenteed hours for that person. Every week. Thats such a freakin great thing.

I hope the new manager here isnt a prick. I really dont want to get fired as fast as i got hired b/c i miss on a catagory. Better work harder. It's a career now. Great! Better than nothing. And I really enjoy it sadly, I guess father like son. Yay for me.

I Can do it!

OMG

2005-08-04T14:20:00.000-04:00

OMG I have readership. What the hell happend there. I find it odd that this blog was made for my boys at home, and i ended up with a complete stranger posting something. Well so everyone knows, who dosent read this, I went over the the site that he left, and it really really did look good. I was kinda amazed, its not really anything special to look at. But, there were really a ton of functionality. Maybe we should think about adding a league over there. Intersting. Maybe this is the start of something intersting.

2005-07-24T13:14:00.000-04:00

I have been a bad human. I haven't called my buddies from home once. So I'm taking an internet opprotunity to say sorry gents. I miss you all very much. With work everyday, and little to no privacy at the gf's parents house. I just haven't called. Oz, hope you are doing ok. Miss ya alot. Kev. I talked to you once. Sorry i havent called more. Everyone else. Card buddies, bar buddies, and ppl of the ozporn summer land: I will see u all soon, and hopefully call before that.

So i sit here...

2005-07-11T16:34:00.000-04:00

I have to make a comment on the live 8 coverage. I thought to an extent it was o.k. until they decided that they, instead of letting their viewing audience take in the glory of being able to see a reunited Pink Floyd play live for the first time in a few decades, they decided that they should cut to the V.J.'s and let them talk over the monumental performance instead of letting ppl see the monumental performance.

I was a bit incensed about it as you can tell. But, as with most things, that happens.

I am having a need to be able to be by myself as of late. The non-stop people running around in my gf's parents house is driving me nutz. Don't get me wrong, i love being here as i have posted. Yet, the constant headache the bickering is kicking my ass. It makes me weary.

Life happens and then you move on. We are almost in our own apt. and im soooooo excited about that.

From Cinci and loveing it!

2005-07-11T12:00:00.000-04:00

Its been a great move so far. Love work soo far. As usual doing this from work as an elvis conversation rages in the background. Got to love that. Life seems good. Apartment is locked in, moving in on the 7th of August. Parents seem like they are coming down. That makes me happy. Kind of got home sick for all you guys last week, but the guys at work seem to be a lot like you all back home at 2584. I have a Wyatt type person which is kind of funny, though his music choice in not zepplin. The dept is a lot bigger, and oddly...Not every person that walks into the store is a cheap bastard. Soo...p.a sales and credit are really up for me. HAHHAHAHAHAHHA. go ahead and look at the numbers boys. lol. Not that you really can. I'm not really in the national system again yet.

Alright soo far soo good.

Bottled Screams

2005-05-22T10:50:00.000-04:00

You want to talk about insane life happening, I have had those as of late. I have noticed a strange trend. It seems that no matter what I do, chaos and insanity seem to follow me, like some crazed stalker in dark corridors, it seems to leap out at me on a fairly constant basis. I guess I always have wished that I was capable of having some sort of a normal day/week/year, but alas, I don't foresee it in my future.

I got my girl playing CoH, she's hooked. I find it funny to watch her game, though I have to say I don't pay all that much attention cause I'm usually playing on my X-box in the next room.

The move is almost upon me, and I still haven't put in for a transfer. How stupid is that. I guess I would rather work here, and wait to start down there, than having to quit here, and start in Cincinnati as soon as I get there. I hope this move goes well. I need it to go easy for my sanity and for Elisha's.

I don't like the fact that we are going far from my parents, but with any luck I will be going to University of Dayton for my masters by next fall. *Crosses fingers* I really hope so. I hate having to take the GRE, big tests with math scare me. I managed an 800 on the English segment of my SAT, and yet still only got a 1050 overall. I think you can do better math than I, so I will let you subtract to see how bad I did.

Stupid Math. I really hate it. I used to ask why. I think most students ask why. I gave up on that seeing that is was completely fruitless. So, instead, my why has been replaced with a, can I suffer through this?

As you have guessed, I'm at Sears, working. There is no one here. Not a soul in the entire building. Never is when you live in a church-centric community. Sunday are slower than a glacier. It never the less amazes me that I have been able to stand here for the last 30 minutes and not have a customer, manager, or another associate come by. Not that the other employees would care one bit but, lets face it, I get lonely very easily.

Spoke to soon. There is Keith. I wonder what time Wyatt come in. Not that he is going to be here on time or anything. Speaking of Wyatt, he has a blog too. It's an interesting read. He is more articulate than I and as you will be able to gather from the title of his blog he is quite a Led Zepplin fan. I hold nothing against him for it, cause I am a fan myself. Yet, Wyatt has managed to take "fan" to that next level that seems to exceed fanatic. His blog can be found here. http://www.zepcowboy.blogspot.com.

He is actually the one that fanned the flames of a creative spark to begin this blog. Not that anyone cares at all. Cause no one actually reads this crap.

Blogs. Why the hell do we do them. I was clicking around before I started my post to see what other blogs look like. Admittedly, mine blows visually. But, some of the more interesting ones that I surveyed, still didn't have any responses from readers.

Make you wonder how much readership a simple blog ever gets other than its creator. That, of course, would make blogs into an internet diary for the masses to read, if they happen to stumble on it. Kinda like the real world huh?

It is a good venting medium. The feeling of being able to get all ones, opinions and feelings out onto a public forum and not have people be abel to hit you if they don't agree is nice, but it makes me wonder how grounded the idea of people reading our thoughts is.

This is boardem speaking. I'm done with this for now.

It's that time again for a review

2005-05-13T11:18:00.000-04:00

I was going to spend the time talking about CoH again, but I think that this time would be better discussing the"Jade Empire" title.

I really love this game. I actually havent finished it, but it was hailed as Kungpow with some KOTOR. I have to say I agree. The free fighting sytle is a real throwback towards KOTOR.

Though I havent found myself quite as addicited, I think it because I have been playing CoH. Its the interaction with people I seems to be craving right now, so me putting the game down for a while is no projection on the game at all.

Some low points. Im bothered some by the facial graphics for NPC's. It's not really very well done, escpecially an early character Gao the Lesser. I also had wished that the game was a little more free roaming like KOTOR, and not confined paths like Fabel. These are my ONLY complaints about the game.

Some good points. The combat is awsome. Only KOTOR come even close in randomization of movements in a fight. Fist flying everywhere. YAY.

The Graphics are really awsome. They inspire which I found some games have been lacking in. The movie cuts are amazing. Jaw droping physics engine was used to make stuff move. Its fun.

I think the best thing about the game is that they completly scored the entire cast. Everyone has a voice, and speaks out what they are saying. Some of these characters at amazing. And the one liners in this game are top notch.

A fun game overall. It's a have to have for a Consoul RPGer. Everyone else should play it too, but for the RPGer its the next best thing till KOTOR 3 gets started or completed. L0L

Working is one thing, btu workng with people staring over your shoulder is another. I hate it when we have visits here at Sears. It's really no fun at all. Being all prim and proper, it gets really stressfull. Whoops made the error of wearing sandels. Apprently aren't part of the dress code. Meh. Who am I to care? I guess I should cause I reallyneed this job so I can take it with me as I move. Better go, I can hear the screams from down the corridor. They are coming, no way out. They are coming.

Oh im here again

2005-05-10T01:26:00.000-04:00

A fun update as always...I think. It's time to go to bed, and i had to just check my e-mail. Isn’t that how it always seems to go. I found this message in my inbox:

"why did you create this website?"

and it was from a person that I had never seen. I almost flipped out, someone actually was on one of my websites. So naturally I replied cause it made me curious.

"An interesting question, and one that I guess never got addressed. I can only guess that you are referring to "The Daily Byte", though i have a few other sites and a blog, and for some reason, this didn’t really have sort of subject that told me where it came from, but nehow.

The Daily Byte was meant to be an alternative news source of such, something very much like inside pulse or 411 mania, but with our own spin.

We wanted a place to be able to vent about the world that surrounded us, and make some interesting commentary. However, the group of friends that were in on this endeavor left the project.

Now, my other guess is that you are referring to my other horrid site which is legions.gq.nu. That site was my first venture into html. I was bored and honestly if that is where this e-mail is coming from I would be very shocked cause I haven’t touched it in at least a year.

Either way, all of my websites were created out of a nothing to do situation and usually result in me getting bored and abandoning them, hence why they are all on free servers.

However, I may start updating both again, and possibly move Legions over to the service that I have the Dailybyte on.

So that’s the story in a few words.

J.
"

Both website exist still if you want to take a look, and I think that I may actually try to revive The Daily Byte, but I have to find the password for it as well as the username…come to think about it…I’m not sure that I have the webpage that I was doing the page posting through. HMMMM…isn’t that how it always seems to go. Just as you may have thought everything you have ever done online meant crap, one person had to come along and read something that you wrote. ODD. Oh well.

Screaming from places other than home

Oh good, i was worried that i would have no way of sharing anything with the world today, not that the world really cares at the moment. Today was horrid. I have learned my lesson about being the first to mow the lawn in the summer...never again! If i wasnt soo allergic to leaf mold, it might have been ok, but the shortness of breath and red eyes is really really pissing me off. I guess that happens. i will get back to the game review when ever my lazy ass feels like it...soo that its for now cause im going to cuddle in with my beautiful gf, BECAUSE I CAN! Mwhuahahhahahahhaa. Night all.

New beginnings

New beginnings

Well I would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone who happens to stubble onto my little humble blog. I really decided that I needed an outlet to voice my opinions or to just rant and rave, as it may be, about anything I really feel.

I guess its only fair that I introduce myself. I’m a 22 year old college grad, who got stuck with a bum job at Sears. Just a lowly worker bee in a huge company that sells TV’s all day: that would be me. Though, I have to say my job is not really that bad. I get to listen to my own music on the best sound systems that one could ask for, and when it’s really dead, I have a Dish network display that I can watch TV on.

I play lots of video games so you will see plenty of games opinions about stuff going on in that industry. I will probably make many comments about movies and plenty of TV shows. Whether it is interesting, I leave that choice up to you.

There will be the random rant and rave about something or other, but I guess it will all depend on my mood. Meh.

Read on I got lots to say.

CoH review part 1

2005-05-04T19:21:00.000-04:00

As I have mentioned I am a big gamer. I love to play video games, and even paper and pencil table top games. I have gaming in my blood, though I don’t see where it came from. Anywho, I have been playing a few really awesome games but I guess I wanted to lay down a review of COH.

City of Heroes from cryptic studios is one of the most fun MMPORPG that I have ever seen. I, to tell u the truth, haven’t really played too many though I hope to change that by getting added to the DDO (Dungens & Dragons Online) Beta test, which should prove to be a blast as well.

There is something about running around in a game, with a bunch of avatars that that I find really interesting. I like the idea of playing with group dynamics. And that part of the game was really played up in some of the later missions.

One could go and solo as many as the first 5-10 missions if they are pretty good, but after that. To get any kind of good xp you have to team play. Each of the archetypes are really fun to play (Blaster, Defender, Scrapper, Tank, and Controller). I have found the Defender to be the most efficient for my play style.

At another time I will review each of the archetypes but I don’t feel like typing that much right now…come to think about it. I really don’t want to type anymore right now.

Though, I will at least talk about the game one more second. I really enjoy the game, the city is huge and there are always people on, and 95 percent are will to help you out if you need it. The community is great, the graphics are fun, and it works with a 56k modem :-) what other game MMPORPG can say that right? No really I was asking.
