I've been a little busy.

Sorry about the lack of posts.

Been occupied. Mostly by mundane requests of my new store manager (ironed pants only at work from now on) and my mom's bankruptcy.

She should have done this a while ago, but, there's no going back to fix it. It has to be done NOW.


I've purchased a few CDs (10) and a few DVDs (20 or so) that should keep me occupied for the next several weeks or so.

Several CDs I do highly recommend;

iMogen Heap - Speak for Yourself
Damien Rice - O
She Wants Revenge

I also bought the latest Ultra Dance 7, Natasha Beddingfield, Pussycat Dolls, Midnight Soul 3 and Rihanna. Strange thing about the Rihanna; I opened it up to find two copies of the album inside the paper sleeve, not just one. Deb will be getting this copy, so, don't ask me for it.

I've been chatting it up with several women, and, for the most part, the chats have been going well, until I tell them where I work. Then nothing. Silence. Not even a "hey, it was nice talking to you, but, I'm not interested anymore".

I would have understood why, really. Someone who works retail isn't the most attractive person in the world, because most people think I make shitty money. I don't really. For being a line-level person, I make as much as some supervisors in my store. Not bad, huh?

I think it's time for me to leave, to get out. If not out of this store, then out of the company. This next statement might give away where I work, but, I'm safe as long as I don't say the name.

The recent, very public, changes have got me thinking, "Where can I go from here? Where is there to go from here?" Many of the positions that store managers were gunning for are now gone. Why?

Because the greedy bastards on top would rather fire people than take a salary cut to make the whole company look good. How many fuckin' yachts do you need people? What, you can't drive yourselves to work, lazy asses? Do we really need a company plane? Where does it end?

What the company did not take into account is the recent purchases of buying offices in China, and the hiring of staff to occupy those offices. Did they think it was going to be free or something?

I will never understand people's indifference and ignorance. Never.

It's been a while, I know. I've been busy with stuff and things, shit that gets thrown at you, big rocks that you have to eventually climb over, even if with nothing more than bare feet and blistered hands.

I'm safe for now, but, I sense a change coming, something that may even change me.

But for now....

Which tarot card am I?


You are the Sun card. The light of the Sun reveals all. The Sun is joyful and bright, without fear or reservation. The childish nature of the Sun allows you to play and feel free. Exploration can truly take place in the light of day when nothing is hidden. The Sun's rays fill you with energy so that you may live life to its fullest, milking pleasure out of each day. Such joy and energy can bring wealth and physical pleasure. To shine in the light of day is to have confidence, to soak up its rays is to feel the freedom of a child.

I can never copy and paste that shit right.

A little behind the times.....

So, a few days ago, I finally bought a copy of the Davinci Code to keep.

Why did it take me so long?

It wasn't available in paperback, so, I never bought it. Until now.

I have to check and see if any of the Harry Potter books are in paperback. If they are, I'll buy them. If not, then I'll wait.

Seriously, I can't stand hardcovers, unless they are books that I will read time and time again. Kinda like my Tanith Lee Books. I currently have her "Secret Books of Paradys" in hardcover, and, I plan on buying her "Books of the Dead" series, along with her "Books of Venus" series. I think that her "Paradys" series should be made into shorts; I believe they are that damn good.

I will be flat broke come Friday, since I will have to buy both Brokeback Mountain and Chronicles of Narnia on DVD. I've already purchased the DVD reissues of "9 to 5" and "Blue Thunder". The new Rainer Maria CD is out, and, I'll have to pick up Damien Rice's CDs, since I just saw him on PBS, and, the guy's brilliant.

Flat broke.

I recently started up a membership at a dating website again, and, I'm currently chatting it up with three different women. I don't know where any of this is going to go, so, I'll just see what happens.

It's not that I'm looking for a girlfriend, I'm more so focusing on expanding my friendship circle, and seeing what happens from there.

So, yeah, that's it for me.
