Checking In
It’s been a while since I’ve posted any kind of journal here. After much procrastination, I decided to finally sit my ass down and do it.
It’s been a quickly paced time of year for me. In some weird way, time seems to be flying by and it’s not for the better. Summer is, for the most part, gone and I’m getting closer and closer to yet another birthday. As usual, I feel like I didn’t do enough with myself in the warmer months and I’m regretting it now. I should have gone out more. I should have played ball more. I guess with work schedules and all, though, it’s hard to align lives. Let’s face it, I do most of that shit with Joe, anyway, so as soon as our schedules conflict (as they often do), nothing can happen. They don’t warn you about that when you’re 10 years old.
Work has been actually pretty good lately. I’ve had another wind come to me and I’ve been able to really do my job with at least some kind of enthusiasm. With the holidays quickly approaching, I’m trying my best to appreciate the calmness of the store right now. I guess after almost 3 years, you have to learn something.
A lot of new people have started to get hired, too. It’s always in the back of my mind whether or not there will be some girl that gets hired that I’ll click with like I did with a certain someone last year. Let’s face it: My love life is shot to hell. I guess after everything with Alex, I stepped away from the whole game to really get things straight in my own life. I even turned down a girl (I’ll keep them nameless) because I just knew I wasn’t ready to get involved with someone. Have I fixed my life up? Well, for now, it feels like I’m on the right track. Who knows how things will feel tomorrow, but it’s a nice change.
And with my life getting back on track, I’ve started to look at my future more seriously. Obviously, in the short term, I want to get that Magnolia position at work. An increase in pay and hours is a nice step forward. After that, I think I might want to risk things and see if I can land a leadership position. I’m still not 100% sure if Best Buy is the company I want to try my luck with, but I’ll decide that when I need to. Then again, I’m almost 23. I’m running out of time.
Let’s close with my birthday, shall we? I feel mad cheesy doing this, but I know I’m impossible to shop for. Hell, most of the times, I don’t even know what I want. I’ve spent a couple of days compiling small lists on Newegg and Amazon. Honestly, I don’t want most people to even bother looking at them since you shouldn’t give me anything, but for those few close people, hopefully this will make you curse me out less. I doubt that the lists are complete, but it’s all I could think of. I just feel really awkward presenting people a list of shit to buy me.

Loooooooooove it!
hey, I finally got around to grabbing One Cold Night by Seether. I’m liking the acoustic feel to it. Good stuff.
you might not remember me from neowin (not really a regular there anymore), but I know how you feel in more ways than one. From what you’ve said on your site and neowin you seem like a pretty good guy and I hope your stuff works out (relationships and such because I can relate there : |…and I’m not gonna post stuff like “it’ll all work someday” because everyone hates hearing that shit lol)….anyway take care
It’ll all work out someday… or if it doesn’t, it’s their loss, you’re still an awesome guy and I wish I could afford to send you something… =/
It’s nice to see you feel (at least currrently) that you’ve got your life back on track. Sorry I haven’t read and posted in a while, I’ve not been too busy but back to school = less time to browse the net. Sort of. When’s your birthday? Mine’s coming up too, well in November. I have a list of crap I want on Froogle and my list is mostly beyond doable for anybody but that’s why it’s called a wishlist, right? Hope you get what you want and have a good one man.
