Well I finally paid off 3 credit cards.. that's right I am on my way to financial freedom.  Just a few more to go and then I will be free, but at least now I will be able to move soon.  Get the hell out of here.  So today was good on that note.  And tomorrow is my sister's 21st birthday so that is cool.

The only thing that sucks is today I realised that my cat has been missing for about 2 days so I think he is dead.  Which really sucks since I have had him for like 11 years and he has been the pet that has really been mine.  I miss him which is kinda weird I think to miss an animal.  I dunno but I am really sad that he is not here.  Oh well that's life right.

I am reading Wolves of the Calla which is the fifth book in the Dark Tower Series.  If you have a chance to read the series it is very good and links quite a few of his previous books.  The Gunslinger is the first in the series and definitely worth the time to read 400 pages.

Think that is all for today, back to the hell that is Enterprise tomorrow at 7a.m.

Goodnight

Yeah Yeah Yeah it's been a while. I am gonna give this another shot. I have been so busy with work lately that is sucks huge balls. I started work with Enterprise about 3 months ago and have decided that it basically sucks. The money is alright but the hours are long and my manager is a bitch. I think I am really upset with the job because I put off my trip to England just to get hired. Also Bullhead is a real shithole. After another year here I have decided it is not for me.

Another opportunity has fallen in my lap that may be cool, but again I would have to stay here longer. It would require flying around the US for a major hotel chain (A Night in Paris) and marketting conferences. It sounds kinda boring but the whole flying around part is exciting and there is money to be had there as well. SO I dunno what I will do I thought I had a rough plan on what I would like to do and then this comes along. If I do not take this job I want to get a little more debt paid off then move out to California or ANYWHERE but here for a short time, ultimately ending up in England.

It’s kinda crazy cuz everyone I know is going through change right now. Eric just finished his teaching thing and just moved into a house in Phoenix. Plus he may not even teach. Monica is also going to Phoenix soon. Paul should be a doctor by now. I wonder if the rest of life is like this, changing. Aimie is at Enterprise and is ready to go as well.

I am starting to gain financial freedom by paying off my credit cards, 1 down and 4 to go lol. Never ever get one they are the devil!

Tori released a new DVD/CD of live footage that is awesome. It's called Welcome to Sunny Florida and is a great concert, I'm listening to now! The CD is unreleased stuff from Scarlet’s Walk and it is GOOOOD. But I am little biased.

Chains Uh Oh... I am never going back again to crucify myself.

I went to the Doctor today and she said that I have an acid reflux problem and prescribed me Nexium. I was having some bad stomach pains a few weeks back and I was worried I might have an ulcer from work (I blame as much as I can on work). So hopefully this is the end of it and there are not any real side effects from them, like erectile dysfunction, not like it would matter in my single state.

I think I will try and update my site a little more with some photos and stuff. I hope everyone who reads this is doing well and send me a message sometime!!!

Hola Pacos...  I've been bad lately with updates but I have been so busy lately.  I have been doing interviews with a few companies to get a better job.  Thir morning I had my interview with BNSF that I think went well but there are like 300 people here for 30 jobs.  I have more education than most of them but as far as work experience I am lacking.  I really would like this job because it starts out at around 55,000 a year which is nice.  Then I can make bank the year after and earn probably around 25 to 50% more.  So that would be a great job even though it would require me to move to Winslow for some time(yuck). 

I also just recieved an Assistant Manager position at Millers Outpost (Anchor Blue) that pays like 9.40 an hour which is better than my 7.50 at muds and 7 at Hasting's.  I am going to try and take on Millers Outpost until I hear about this job which I should know within 2 weeks.  I would start training at BNSF in either Jan. or Feb.  Even training I would get 700 a week which beats what ia m doing now.

Other than that I have been trying to collect some peices to build my own Tivo that would do a bit more but still mainly fucntion as a PVR.  It seems to be a fun project so far but I haven't really run into many problems yet.  I think my life lately has been revolving around getting new jobs and deciding what to do with my life.  The railroad seems like the best idea because I am not confined to Winslow.  I have also applied for a position in Richmond Northern California which would be cool.  I think that Oregon would also be a cool place to work.

The new Tori CD came out on Tuesday and it rocks.  It is basically a 'Best of' album, but Tori couldn't do just that.  She instead re-recorded all the songs and made them sound like she had wanted to sound originally, before she just didn't have the money for quality mics etc.  So yeah it is great plus it has 2 new tracks and a DVD. Oh yeah and Best Buy is carrying it for 11.99 so if there is one near rudh out and buy it!  It is SO worth it.  I also got the Extended version of Lord of the Rings with the 43 minutes added.  I haven't had a chance to see it but I am sure it going to be great.

Well I am sitting here waiting for Kevin, Eric's little brother, to go in for his interview.  The Radisson is so great because they have free internet and Sushi.  What could be better?  My interview was at 7 this morning and his was at 4:40 which sucks for me because I had wanted to go home early today and get some shit done.  Oh well, I guess you should only depend on yourself.  Mike Fergusson and Isaac Smith also interviewed for the position.  So that would be cool if they got the job too and we could all hang out.  Although I really don't want to live with all of them.  I did the whole lots of roommates thing in College and I think I could live with one of them or I could definitely get my own place.  I guess we will see.  I could save loads of money by having a roommate though. 

Here is a little 'Snow Cherries from France' on of the new tracks:

So yeah it has been forever but I have been so busy working 2 jobs. In fact I just put my 2 weeks in at Hasting's because it just was too difficult to work there and I will definitely make more at Mudshark's it's just going to suck being at the same place all day long. I am really going to miss my discount but I think I can talk someone into getting me something if I need it that badly.

Tomorrow Aimie and I are off to Flagstaff for the day for the Joe Soren signing. It is going to be cool I am sure plus we are spending the day. We are planning on going to Sakura for some Sushi and meeting up with some friends. Then on Saturday we are going to LA to see Howie Day on Sunday. We are going to Fright Night at Knot's Berry Farm and then going to West Hollywood and or Santa Monica to the Boardwalk. I think we are giong to do the tourist thing. I want to take lots of photo's so I will try and use my cell phone camera.

So I am wondering how all of you are doing that read this. Paul I need your blog address so I can link it here and I think everyone out there should have one of these. Once I am at one job I hope to update this a bit more regularly. There is loads to tell but I have to get to bed to be fresh for Mr. Joe Soren.

Suck it Easy.

Well I am home from work and SOOO tired.  I am actually really sore cuz we worked our asses off cleaning tonite.  Which leads me to think that I am nearinga  mid-life crisis, which I think it could be called if I die around 40.  I am not really happy with my current situation in jobs.  It really sucks, I work my ass off at one to go to another.  And Mud's really isn't bad I do like it there but Hasting's sucks my dick.  I work like 5 hours each day, the drive there sucks and is like 35 mins there and then 35 back.  So with gas and time and all that I really am not thinking I will be there that long I guess we will see.  I will be applying at other places nearby soon.  I love the discount but figured if I am not there I not will buy anything.

OK so I am suddenly all better because Outkast "Hey Ya' vidoe just came on and it is the funniest thing.  I love the 'Love Haters' that sing the backup, they have magic fingers or happy fingers whatever the hell they are called in Bring it on.  So this is definitely one of my favorite songs right now.  Along with that Liz Phair's song 'Why Can't I'.  I think I am into dirty songs lately since they all seem to be about sex.  Although pretty much everything is about sex, or maybe I am just biased or something.  A fraudian slip, Monica can help me with this one, she is the psych major.  Well I am off to bed, We leave tomorrow to go to Pheonix for the next few days. YAY I will be out of this hell hole for a while.  I will hang out with Eric which is awesome.  Anyways hope to see some of you soon.  Oh yeah and I updated my pictures on my moblog at carbon658.textamerica.com so go check it out!

See Ya.  Oh have to leave you with the naughty bits from those songs.

Outkast
Don't want to meet your daddy

It's been a while again but I have been working like crazy.  I had sunday off and I literally slept ALL day long.  I have been working doubles since last week which is nice for the money but I have been a little tired.  Last night after work Aimie and I grabbed a bite to each and then watched this new show called 'Carnivale' it is a really cool show that is now on HBO.

I have also been using my cell phone for taking pictures more lately.  I need to get used to using it so I can get some cool pictures right now it is mainly people from work.  I have to be at work in like 30 mins to again work a double.  It is easy tho because I am managing at Mud's and I can just read magazines if I want too, which sounds like a good idea to me.

So as far as the bike is coming I still want one but I have to save up, the reason I am working 2 jobs.  I have been lookling at a Kawasaki Ninja 600.  It is cool looking, fast, and hopefully cheap enough for me to afford it.

Tomorrow my family and I are heading to Phoenix for a bunch of Dr. appointments for my dad.  We are staying overnight so I will hang out with Eric and go out to Tucson if possible.  It will be nice to get out of here for a day or two.  Well I gotta run to work.  Yay for pizza.

My new favorite song Liz Phair's 'Why Can't I':

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

Well I just got home from my trip to vegas and it was fun!!! It was Sarah's birthday and we all had a great time. We went to this place called the 'Hookah Lounge' that was really chill. They smoke flavored tobacco out of this thing with all kinds of pipes, most of you probably know what a hookah is anyways. I tried it and it was kinda fun, it doesn't have all the chemicals that cigarette tobacco has so that was cool and it really did have a different flavor. So we drank there for most of the night. The drinks were so expensive but they were good, I did acutally order a TERRIBLE one that had wild turkey in it. NEVER NEVER drink this stuff. We then hit a nother bar and played pool for a bit and then went to a casino diner and grubbed out.

Today I woke up without a hangover which was really nice. I went out and had Sushi with Christina, which was yummy. I miss going to Sakura on a whim so much and grabbing a quick lunch. Then I decided to go and hit the nerdo shops like CompUSA, Best Buy, Fry's etc. I found some awesome deals. I am working on upgrading this system that I am using right now. In fact this computer I am using is my new Linux box that I am experinmenting with. A friend of mine gave me an older PC that I am using to learn about linux and possibly turning into some sort of server.

So after doing a bit of shopping I went to Starbucks to get some coffee and say adios to Sarah since she was working. She unfortunately was really hung over and did not want to be stuck at work. I am sure she will do fine tho.

Tomorrow I am going to River Valley to help some teachers setup a Video Production class because they have some REALLY nice equipment now that they recieved through a grant. I ran into an old teacher that was asking what I majored in and what like wow would you want help us? sooo... I will see what I can do, hopefully it will be fun.

At any rate I better get to bed. I have added a few new links like Sarah's Livejournal and this new placed called TextAmerica, that I can update with photo's taken from my phone. It is pretty cool. Anyhow, I am off to bed. Would love to hear from some of you. See Ya

So yeah I had a nice long update for the past few weeks but it was erased.  But oh well I will get all those details later.  I had to work a 10 hour shift today and came home really exhausted and got right into bed, with my laptop of course (you have to love wireless internet), and now I cannot sleep.  I had planned on being passed out oh about 1 1/2 ago but no I love the night and cannot go to sleep. 

I have been looking up some info on street bikes, which are my new obsession.  Some people from work have them and they have just really gotten me interested in them again.  I did want one about a year ago but never really did any research and didn't have anyone telling me how cool they really are, and oh they are cool!  I have never been on one so I will probably kill myself but I think the rush is going to be great.  So I am thinking that of instead of trying to buy a new truck which was really a fantasy and not reality right now, I will fix mine up and get a street bike.  They are economical with gas the way it is and oh so cool.  Did I mention that they are cool and that I will hopefully not die?  So taking some great advice from a person that is oh so good at giving it I will try and save around a grand before I think of buying one.  Here is a picture of a Honda bike that I like and is within my price range.  Cool huh?



So I have been trying to get my shit together financially so that I can actually go and spend money other than a few bucks on a movie every once in a while.  Which reminds me I rented and watch 'Spun' the other day and that film was weird.  It was really funny and cool but I guess because i have never tried speed it didn't hit a chord with me.  A few people at work who were tweakers before liked it but made them want to relapse sooo.. I recommend they watch 'Requim for a Dream' which I finally saw the majority of, never would someone want to do drugs, unless they are in to the Ass to Ass thing.

Well here I go again changing my blog address, but I am looking for the best free blog out there.  I played with one monica suggested to me but it was a bit involved to setup soo...  I am stuck in the land of free.  I think I like this one now that I have it a bit customized.  So if you are new, my old one was http://www.blurty.com/~carbon658.
