Foxx Tune: Rage Against the Machine - No Shelter

When I went in to work today, I thought I was going to work my normally scheduled hours from 02:00-14:00, but turns out that Nathan had a problem. He wasn't going to have anyone in for Electronics tonight from 16:30-22:30 (closing time), so he decided to pull me from my work post today and repost me for that time, leaving me by my onesy tonight. Now, the only problem I have with that, I'm just about to go over my 6-hour limit. Beint that I'm only a part-timer, I can't work over six hours. Unless Nathan picks up on that, I'm gonna end up working four hours overtime, not that it'd be bad for me, cuz really it won't, but it'd be bad for the them because they don't want people working overtime. I hope Nathan picks up on that and tries to find someone to take my place. I don't want to screw up payroll for Kmart. I hate it when people call off. It puts other people in terrible situations.

Well, on a lighter note, I snagged this link from miraelizabeth because I thought I was pretty funny, and something all me Partners In Crime would like to see.

Well, it's official. I'm sick again. I don't know what it is this time, but I woke up this morning shivering and woozy. Not even a good meal didn't do the trick. I almost didn't want to go to work today, but I decided to grin and bear it, for the worse. I didn't get into Electronics because Nathan had me doing O-1 work (O-1s are the ones that handle carry-outs and cart pick-ups) the entire night. Near the end of the night I could hardly stand. My head was bothering the hell outta me, which interfears with my focus. Sheesh I hate feeling like this. It sucks.

Luckily for me, I'm off tomorrow and Wednesday morning I'm back in Electronics. So that'll do wonders for me. In the meantime, I'm gonna take some more cold medicine and head off to sleep, if I can get to sleep.

Horale, holmes. For once I'm feelin' good. I just got back from a job interview at Kmart and all went so well that, I'm as good as hired. I go for orientation either Friday or Saturday (not sure which day) and should be starting come next Monday or Tuesday. The only thing that sucks about this is it's a part time job, but as of now, I'm not complaining. Work's work to me.

On another note, I made some new banners for my website. There nothing fancy but...you get the idea. For anyone who wishes to link to my site, feel free to take one of the banners to use.

Foxx Tune: Modest Mouse - Float On

Applied to more places and haven't heard anything back. I've been viewing a certain cab company's looking for new drivers. I might as well apply myself to them. I know cab driving's not the safest thing in the world, but at least it's something. I'll have to wait until my dad gets that $15 into my account sos I'll have some bus money to get around.

You Know You're From Missouri When...

Everyone in your family has been on a "Float trip." "Vacation" means driving to Silver Dollar City, Worlds of Fun or Six Flags. Down south to you means Arkansas. The phrase, "I'm going to the Lake this weekend," can mean only one thing. You know what "Party Cove" is. (If you know where, you are a boating party animal) You think Missouri is pronounced with an "ah" at the end. You know in your heart that Mizzou can beat Nebraska in football. You think I-44 is spelled "foarty-foar." (St. Louis Only) You'll pay for your kids to go to college unless they want to go to KU. You know that Concordia is halfway between Kansas City and Columbia, and Columbia is halfway between St. Louis and Kansas City, and Warrenton outlet mall is halfway between Columbia and St. Louis. You can't think of anything better than sitting on the porch in the middle of the summer during a thunderstorm. You know that Harry S. Truman, Walt Disney and Mark Twain are all from Missouri. You know what "cow tipping" or "Possum Kicking" is. You think "frog gigging" should be an Olympic sport. You think Imo's is larger than Pizza Hut. You can tell the difference between a horse and a cow from a distance. You don't put too much effort into hairstyles due to wind and weather. There's a tornado warning and the whole town is outside watching for it. The local gas station sells live bait. Little smokies are something you serve on special occasions. All your radio preset buttons are country. You know enough to get your driving done early on Sundays before the Sunday drivers come out. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Missouri.

You Know You're From St. Louis When...

You love toasted ravioli with Budweiser beer. "Vacation" is a choice between Silver Dollar City and Lake of the Ozarks. You can find Pestalozzi Street by aroma alone. You can get anywhere in 20 minutes, except on highway 40. You can debate for 30 minutes whether Missouri Baking or Marge Amighetti makes the best Italian bread. You know what "Party Cove" is, and where the "lake" is. You still can't believe the Arena is gone. Your first question to a new person is, "Where did you go to High School?" Your non-St. Louisan friends always ask if you're aware there is no "r" in "wash." You know at least one person who's gotten hurt at Johnson Shut-ins. You know in your heart that Mizzou can beat Nebraska in football. You think the four major food groups are Beef, Pork, Budweiser and Imo's. You know there are really only three salad dressings: Imo's, Zia's and Rich and Charlie's. You'll pay for your kid to go to college unless they want to go to KU. You would rather have a root canal without anesthetic than drive on Manchester on a Saturday afternoon. It just doesn't seem like a wedding without mostaciolli. AND YOU PRONOUNCE IT 'MUSKACHOLLI'. The balance of the menu is ham, boiled roast beef, string beans with ham and of course pitchers of Busch Bavarian (class weddings have Bud) You know, within a three-mile radius, where another St. Louisan grew up as soon as they open their mouth. You know what a Pork Steak is...and what kind of sauce to put on it! Everyone in your family has floated the Meramec River at least once. A hoosier is someone that lives just south of Chouteau, not a person from Indiana. You have made fun of Mike Shanahan and tried to imitate him ordering another cold, frosty Busch Bavarian Beer. You have listened to Mike's broadcast on KMOX, while watching the game on TV and wonder what game he is watching. A tear forms in your eye as someone mentions their favorite Jack Buck story. You've said, "It's not the heat, it's the humidity." Your favorite summer treat is handed to you upside-down You bleed Blue between September and May You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from St. Louis.

Well, I'd say those are about accurate, don't you?

Round 3 went like this. I checked back at my previous applied places to find out they still haven't gotten to looking at the apps. The manager at GanmeCrazy told me he'd get around to it before he left. I'll be checking back on Monday making it a round 4, which I don't wan't this to go that far. It's getting to the point to where I have to get on their case to get them to hire me. If that be the case, then so be it. I'll do whatever I have to. This time, take no prisoners!

Tomorrow starts round 3. During round 2, I took a step extra and went to Office Depot to check up on my app that I turned in at the beginning of January. So, in the process of checking up on Game Crazy, I'm checking on OD while I'm at it. If I can get the job at Office Depot, then I can hopefully get a discount on the Nextel phone I want so badly. But I'd have to wait until I get every bit of debt paid off before I worry about that. Here's hopin'

Today starts Operation Hollywood Video Employment round 2. Round 1 didn't go so well. I'm really trying to get hired on to Game Crazy, but Hollywood's just as good. Maybe today I can get a manager to take a look at my application. Yesterday, I went by Game Crazy three times to try to talk to a manager, but the bastard never showed up. Hopefully, I get him today or get on with Hollywood. Either way, at least I'll have something to work with.

You're Fiji!

As calm, relaxed, and removed from life as they come, you're just so
chilled out, it hurts people to see you.  Everyone aspires to be where you are, but
most of them just can't put their stress away.  Little do they know that even you
sometimes have inner turmoil and struggles!  For the most part, though, it's sun and
fun for you, and that's the way you like it.  It's just sort of hard to get things
done with all that partying.

Foxx Tune: Alter Bridge - Find the Real

Well, court case went surprisingly well. All I gotta do is pay St. Charles County $193 and I'm Kool & the Gang, holmes. Now, this adds to the "I owe money to..." list majorly. With the already $119.43 I owe to Eric and Michael, the $193 puts me at $312.43. By the time I get my first paycheck from ACN, I won't have much of a paycheck afterwards. The good news is, on this deal, I get paid every week, so saving up for other things won't be too difficult.

Here's my list of major things I need to get in the near future.

1. Vehicle (Preferably pick-up truck or SUV w/manual transmission)
2. Cell Phone (Wanting to get rid of my damned TracFone for a long time; leaning towards Nextel for service; already have plan and phone picked out).
3. Laptop w/Wireless LAN (at least 80GB Hard Drive and CD burner; DVD burner would be nice though)

Now for the minor things...

1. PS2 - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
2. GC - Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
3. Xbox - Need For Speed: Underground 2
4. Xbox - Call of Duty: Finest Hour
5. GC - Resident Evil 4

I think that should do it. Well, see y'all later. Raw's coming on.

Interview went well and I got back next Wednesday night for part two of the process. For some reason, I have a bad feeling about this job, mostly because it's work-at-home, which I'm not too big on, so I'll continue to search for something else.

My results of the Humor Quiz snagged from kulhain

Sunny/Dark: 1/10
drY/Gross: 6/10
Traditional/Offbeat: 6/10
Active/Passive: 1/10

You are a SGO--Sunny Gross Offbeat. This makes you a Wild One.

You have a laid-back approach to life, and your humor reflects that. What you think is funny is so broad and appealing that you can get a chuckle out of almost anybody. You're never offensive -- until you want to be.

It takes someone a while to get to know you and appreciate your point-of-view, but when you make friends they tend to be for life. You're the type of person who doesn't lose touch with friends after you get married. Rare. Rarely rare rare.

You might have some kind of semi-serious chronic health problem, or had an intense illness in the past. This experience has made sure you don't take life too seriously, and it's given you a down-to-earth perspective about your body.

You like porn. Kind of a lot. Not in a bad way, but yeah.

You might like Farrelly Brothers movies, Jim Carrey movies and stuff. You haven't liked what Ben Stiller's been doing for a lo-o-ong time.

Of the 5907 people who have taken this quiz, 5.8 % are this type.

Your Active humor score of 1/10 means you are too shy shy. Hush hush, hide-away. You could really unload a can of whoop-ass hilarity on anyone -- anyone receptive to humor at all -- but the sneaky thing here is you don't really care. You don't feel the need to be the center of attention, so you hold the big guns in reserve until the right moment. In a world full of people who think they're funnier than they are, you're exactly as funny as you want to be. Um, regardless of whether anybody else ever takes notice.

All I gotta say is, (in the words of Captain Jack Sparrow) that's interesting.

The next years of hell are upon us. I don't expect to be suprised too much. Just every now and then. I don't intend on leading a rebellion against this whole ordeal, but I rather just brace for what's in store in our not-so-distant future.

In other news, interview for the job went well. I go back for the second half of my initiation next Wednesday night. That clears up Monday morning for my dreaded court date for my license citation (courtesy of the ever so greatful Swift Transportation; the bastards!). Hopefully I can get that mess taken care of so they're be nothing on my license. I wanna be able to drive.

Everytime I ask myself, "why the hell do I even watch American Idol?" Okay, I don't really watch all of it, just the auditions. Mainly, I like to see the retards screw up singing and hearing Simon Callow go off on them. That's always funny. Really, I think thats the only reason anybody watches that show. I don't think too many people (notice I didn't say everybody) even watch the stuff after the auditions. Just the way some things go, I guess. I don't mean to offend anyone what actually enjoys all of AI, but that's my point of view on the whole ordeal.

Okay, enough outta me. Time to laugh some more. Oyi, why did they host auditions in my hometown? Yeah, they're in St. Louis, where I live. Whhhhhhyyyyyyyy?????????????

My cousin, Marcelle, and his new wife and child came into town the other day and yesterday I got to go out and see them. Good thing I live in North County now. I can get to them easier. Marcelle's son was a good looking boy, I must say. Gotta give my cuz some props. I also got a chance to see some relatives I hadn't seen in a such a long while. And I mean a long while. I think I'm beginning to lose track of most of my family since I've been doing stuff. Well, half of that's my fault, I know. But I'll keep in touch with them. Besides, I've got it planned that this is my last year in St. Louis. After this year, I'll be making my move down south to Dallas. Finally, no more dreadful St. Louis to deal with. That'll be good.

Foxx Tune: Braceface on TV

Looks like the snow everyone's been getting in the west has finally hit St. Louis. I don't know how long it's been going on, but it's sticking really good. Well, we missed the white Christmas (due to the mild Spring-like weather we had last week), but it looks like we're getting the white right about now. With the cold weather we've been having this week, I was kinda expecting the snow, but not this late. I know that Sherri (a girl from Dallas I'm talking to and am in a sense dating on Yahoo! Messenger) would be pretty happy if she were here. She likes snow a lot. Seeing it would probably cheer her up after she had to tell me she lost her job today. Words cannot describe how I feel for her right now. She was a dispatcher for Cheetah/Mason Dixon Truck Lines. That's two of us that lost our Transportation jobs. It makes me wonder what the Transportation industy (in relationship to Truck Driving) is coming to these days. They say they want people who have both experience and inexperience but yet they trip all over the inexperienced and give them shit all the time. That's what happened with me and Swift. Now I've been given a "Swift" kick in the ass paying off their worthless training loan and I have to go to court for a friggn citation I got because they never supplied me with the registration to my truck.

Uh-oh. Look at me. What started off as a positive entry gained a lot of negativity in an instant. I don't know why I do that. Maybe because I have a lot on my mind and sometimes I just can't the right way to get it out. Please excuse the negativity of this entry, if you can. A lot of times it creeps up on me and I have no control over it.

Foxx Tune: Story of the Year - And the Hero Will Drown

Well, the bad start to the new year turned around in one day. My grandfather was out of the hospital on Sunday and he's back at home doing well. So I'm thankful for that. But I got even better news. My cousin, Marcelle, who's in the Air Force stationed in Alaska is a father now. He and his girlfriend gave birth to a baby boy just before New Year's day. I'll be able to see him and the baby in a few weeks as he and his girlfriend (who are getting married in her homestate of Louisiana) are coming back to St. Louis. It surprised me to hear Marcelle, of all people, had a baby, but I'm happy for the bloke none-the-less. I went to his mother's (my aunt) place the other day to do some catching up. Aunt Karen told me when Marcelle got back in town, she was going to hold a party at her house in lieu of Marcelle's wedding and baby. Since I live really really close to her now (in fact, most of my family live in North County) I'll have no trouble getting to see her. This I gotta see.

The bad start turned around in one day, and hopefully the rest of the year will turn out good.

Well, I don't know how, but I made it through another year. I can only hope this year goes off better than last (well, better than the end of last).

Unfortunately, things didn't get off to a happy start as I learned just today that my grandfather is in the hospital. According to my dad, he fell on his head (don't ask me how; I'm not sure myself). Grandpa wants me to go see him, so I'll see if I can head up to the hospital he's at tomorrow. I don't know what his status is, but when the house internet comes online, I'll let anyone who's interested know.

Please, if you can, send thoughts and/or prayers. It would mean and help alot.
