Sunday, Bloody Sunday...

I. Like. To. Dance. I like to dance. I LIKE TO DANCE! :D
Sorry...
Anywho, I'm back and trying to stick to guns (that's a really gross saying...) and keep up with this here blog. I really do miss the days when I posted EVERY day. It was pretty cool. It was like Twitter, except less gay...

Okay, moving on. Yesterday went kinda like this. I woke up around noon, which is pretty well standard for me during the summer. However, I've got mixed feelings about it seeing as how it kills my whole day. Nonetheless, that's when I woke up. After that, i tried to get some stuff done before I was off to work. So, I ate and went online, trying to find out if any last minute strides were made to secure plans for that night, and, go figure, there really weren't. I did however get to talk to Drew about what may or may not be happening. You see, Smerz had been trying to arrange a movie night for the past few days, and so far other plans, or masturbation have made it so almost no one could go. I kinda wanted to go mainly because we haven't had a movie night in some time, plus we were gonna watch "Fanboys". So I made some pretty shotty plans with Drew once I got off work.
While at work, I did my best to keep busy. I was always up and moving around the building and I also had to take my totally lame training online (code yellow = a bomb threat). However, I soon got roped into 3 more hours of work. So I told the buiding supervisor, I'll work, if you let me leave right now to go grab supper. She didn't care, so I left and went to Pick n' Save for a BOSS (btw, $5 for a boss again with card. W00T!!!). I also called Drew to just tell him that when I got off at 8 I'd just call him. I also ran into my mom at Pick n' Save. So I had to stay at work an extra 3 hours, which really wasn't that bad.
Then, after I got off, I went home to drop all of my shit off and get ready to leave again. I had to eat some corn my mom had left out for me, and as I was eating that, I contacted Drew via facebook chat, and told him to come pick me up. Right before he came to my door, Kiwi calls saying that he and Jake were done, we should swing by T&D and pick them up. So as soon as Drew and Smerz showed up at my door, we headed on over there. Apparently, Kiwi didn't even work at all, he just stuck around and helped Jake every nowand again. So we stuck around for a bit (Drew and Kiwi raced... they have a small arcade there). We finally left again, and I pushed for us to pick up Jenny, despite the complete lack of room for another person in the car. So we went to Jenny's and Kiwi, Smerz and I all got out to go to her front door. Smerz,being the creeper that he is, decides he'd rather say "hello" through their front window, rather than going and knocking on the front door. So we asked for Jenny, and were met with the response that she was sleepy-bye. So, close to saying 'okay' and walking back to the car, Jenny rallied and we were invited to wait inside. Jenny walked around all zombie like for a few minutes as she got up and got ready to leave. It was nice to see her because I haven't seen her in AGES, while almost everyone has seen her at least once since the begining of summer (saaaaaaaaaaad face... well, sad face up until last night that is). So we all piled into the back seat and went to Smerz's. We sat around for a bit before Smerz popped in "Fanboys". Now, I first heard about "Fanboys" a few years ago back when it was going to be released in 06 (I believe). And when I first heard about it, I thought it sounded awesome, however, to be more realistic it probably wasn't. It had a plot where I was all lik "lol, that sounds like fun", but I more or less was thinking in my head, "This movie is gonna be a piece of indie shit, and blow hardcore". BUT. Here's the interesting part. That movie was awesome! It was every nerd's, every loser's, every geek's guilty pleasure movie with loads of guest stars and references to all sorts of pop-culture goodness. It was genuinely a great movie, and I had an awesome time watching it with the bros... and Jenny... Not that Jenny isn't cool and all, but she's not a bro. She could be... but I don't want her to be... Not because I'm sexiest or think she couldn't cut it as a bro, just that i hang out with so few woman, that I need some of the to stay woman... and not bros... does that make any sense? Well it does to me... So then after that we just sorta hung out for an hour or two watching random videos and telling stories of the past, before finally venturing off. I'm pretty sure we scared Jenny more on that ride home than we had the rest of the night. You see, we did a Drew run (which basically consists of driving by Drew's old house screaming Drew's name, as well as slanderous remarks about him (keep in mind it was about 1:30 in the morning)). Then we dropped Jenny off, then me, then... I don't know, I was at home. I tried to get to bed soon after I got home, but I was tossing and turning all night... it was not a comfortable sleep at all...
I had originally planned on waking up around 8 (I even set my alarm) because I start work at 12:30, and I totally needed to take a shower before work. This, however, did not happen... not at all. I woke up [finally] at 11:45... Wow, I am the laziest piece of shit ever... So I ate the left over bit of half of my boss (I cut it in half for yesterday and today, so I finished the half from yesterday that I hadn't finished... if that makes any more sense). Then I was off to work. I've been at work since than, and I'll be here for another two or so hours. But it's all good, it's just more money for me...

And speaking of money, I'm about to go on a rant here, that was spurred on by a member. Okay, so, I work about 20 hours a week during school, and soon to be about 30 during the summer. I work at a rate of $8 and 50 cents an hour, which is good for me, but no where near what you'd rely on as a full-time job. So, I'm a full-time college student, and part-time employee living at home. I'm working very hard to keep my head above water, and I refuse to fall into debt with school and such (I do pay for all of my tuition costs etc. etc.). So, if I can slowly build up my own money duirng school, keep all of my tuition and costs paid off, I will get out of school, debt free, and with all of the money my mom set aside for me for college in the first place. That means that as soon as I graduate (and hopefully find a job) I will have enough money saved up for the down payment on a house or a car, or something in order to really get my adult life started on a strong foot. And yeah... it sucks. It's hard. And I don't want to do it... But that's life, you know. Shit happens (see: title). I'm trying my best to keep this balance. I'll take as much shit as I have to to assure a strong and prosperous future for that of myself and those around me... However, these stupid mother fuckers are running around all willy-nilly thinking they can afford and apartment!!! Jake, Andrew, and now third party, Crabman, are going ahead an trying to get an apartment. Great! A place to hang out! A place that WE can make our own rules, our own hours, and live in our own style. BUT WAIT! What money do you have to pay for this place? I don't know... How are you guys gonna get around without a car or a bus pass? I don't know... How are you guys gonna split up bills, food, clothing? I don't know... Not to mention all of the extras and ammenities that we have all grown to know and love? I don't know... Collectively, they don't even make enough for rent, how are they gonna pay for the rest of it? Plus they all want to go to MATC in the fall. How? And with what money??? Not a single damn one of them have taken into accoutn that they will have to pay for every piece of food they eat. Every piece of clothing they wear, and every single bill: electricity, gas, water... Where is this money coming from?!?! Although, yes, I can only contest to Jake and Andrew's work situation, and based on that: They can't do it! Andrew works in cycles it seems where one week he is needed daily, and puts in nice 6-8 hour shifts, and some weeks where they don't need him at all. And Jake... I'm sorry, but T&D is NOT a good employer. Part time on the side sure. They are overworked, underpaid, and the hours are not only spotty, but terrible. And I'm sorry if I sound like a dick here but it's true. If you make less than $100 a month, YOU CAN NOT, and I repeat, CAN NOT afford to pay rent, even if you've got two other people pitching in! And lets say for instance that Crabman has an awesom job, steady hours, nice pay, and good job stability; it won't be long before he stops and realises 'hey, why the fuck am I paying for all of this and letting these two piggy back off of me'? Or, maybe his job is just like Andrew's and Jake's, in which Andrew (he's the only on eI'm sure of what he has banking wise, so he'll be my example) will have to tap into his savings. And it doesn't take a fuckin' economist or math matician to see that digging out of your savings month by month is not a good thing... I mean, for God's sake, can't they see that the money they are making won't cut it! Even if they tighten the belt, get really cheap and cut donw on everything, make every dollar go further... THEY STILL DON'T HAVE ENOUGH! I mean, everyone badger's Steve (mainly Jake), you've got money, a job, and a house full of stupid people, why don't you move out and come live with us. Um, 1. because he, much like myself, watches 8,000 dollars dissapear out of his bank account per year 2. Because he's doing the smart thing and saving money so as to accumulate more of it, and 3. He doesn't want to stop his current life style. The man has like 500 DVDs, plus goes to see hundreds of movies in theaters. You think he could keep up these movie statistics working part time at the library AND paying for food, clothing and rent??? I think not... I'm gonna try and cut myself off here because, well, NOBODY IS FUCKING LISTENING TO ME!!! Every time I try and bring up the fact that this won't work ,and all this about the lack of money, what happens? A jew joke? Some sort of Nazi and/or oven crack? How does that help you? Further more, how does that prove me wrong? And who knows, maybe out of fucking no where, this might work... but in my reality, it will be a few months before these three are misreable, broke, and hungry. and then what? Are they gonna let their pride go and go home? Not likely! Judging by the way they've been acting, they'd rather see themselves into the ground before admiting they were WRONG...
