Month: January 2006

  • - Saturday, January 28, 2006

    awwww….. I got up at like 9:25, to watch Saturday Morning Cartoons. woot.
    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! whoamygosh! The Shredder is coming back next week!
    and Shadow is back on Sonic X! once again saving teh day….

    from there I waste my time untill I have to go to work…

    work. 1-10:30. blah. I was soo tired today. I’m sure I’ll be even more tired tomorrow. which reminds me…. note to self: bring the poster!…
    anyways, yeah, today pretty much sucked. I was tired, it was boring, and we could have used more people working.
    for dinner, I ate a packet of Burger King ketchup…
    but, on a good note, both yesterday and today, Trinidad wasn’t there. I hope the luser quit or got fired. but most likely, that didnt happen. but it would be awesome if it did.
    at least I found 5 bucks today. Then I gave $2 of it to Noa, for “working hard.”
    ahhhh…. just like Jon….

    SOTD: First Born Against – The Wage Of Sin
    H/M: had better days…/hmmm…..
    STTA: “Sweeping the floor is a lot like playing hockey. It’s just that you gotta know how to skate, on the ice.” – Some guy who wanted to sweep up popcorn, he was going to see Brokeback Mountain.

  • ok, so this is probably like the longest I have gone without updating. So I’m forcing myself to do it now, before I forget even more about what went on in the past week, even though I currently forgot most of it. oh well, I’ll just make it up.

    - Wednesday, January 25, 2006

    Got up at 11.
    Skiped History class, cause I have yet to drop it.
    English class? nope, skiped that one too. even though I was supposed to be going to it. I was too busy playin DOA4 with gum.
    Well, at least I went to my Sociology class. I enjoyed it alot more than last time.

    after school, I’m off to the post office, longs, and the mall.

    I’m home just a little before 6, and its the usual from there.

    - Tuesday, January 24, 2006

    ahhh, this was a good day… got up at 9, and a little later I went to the bookstore at school, to pick up my English and Sociology books. They were out of one of the English books, so I had to place a special order with the bookstore.
    Then, I went to the post office to pickup my birthday presant from Icey….
    letters, a comic, sports page and automobile classifieds page of the newspaper, Poke’mon Cards, mini playing cards, Santa Clause beanie baby, Pirate with a cannon, lego skeleton, The Hobbit graphic novel, uber awesome chocolates, raindeer food, couple strands of hair, and a box with carebear tape. It was great. Thank you, Katlyn.

    To the mall to get my paycheck and check my schedule. But, the theatre wasn’t open yet, so Cody and I were left to banging on the back door till Derek opened it.

    Then home to do nothing for a while. Later that evening I found out that my Xbox 360 had come in, and my mom didn’t even tell me.

    I went back to the mall, to see if I could get someone to trade a shift with me, so I could get off on Friday so I can go to Pipeline Cafe and see Upstanding Youth and The 86 List play.
    But it was a wasted cause, as the person I was seeking to switch with, can’t work on fridays.
    Though, the trip wasn’t a total lost cause, I picked up those stick on gel grips for the x360 controler, from gamestop. So, now my controler is totally gel’d out, with the grips and the tumbsticks.

    Instaled the beta Final Fantasy XI Online on the 360. wow, all those people raggin on the instalation process wasn’t jokeing. It wasn’t really the typeing in information thing thats the problem, that takes like 10 minutes. It’s the Downloading and Installing that takes forever. First you gotta download and Install the playonline viewer or whatevers, Which takes a little over an hour. After you fill out your information and register, you have to wait for the game to get copied, from the disc onto the hard drive. That takes another good hour of your time. Then after you finally get everything over with, all the information entered, your logged in, you’ve created your account, profile, character and everything. When you finally try to start up the actual game, you have more Patches to download and instal, equaling about 20mins more of waiting.
    As for the game it-self, It Sucks. It’s just so, blah. It’ll get a little choppy with a good amount of other people on screen. And It’s just so confuseing too. It was too hard to tell where to go, or what to do, or how to do what I was suposed to do.
    The game blows like the wind. I didn’t like Final Fantasy III then, and I don’t like Final Fantasy XI now.
    yeah, I was all like, this sucks. I’m gonna go play Maple Story. But then as usual, I had to wait so long to get the latest update for MS, and by the time that was over, I was ocupied with something else.

    Overal, this was one of better days that I’ve had so far this year.

    - Monday, January 23, 2006

    So, My English and Sociology classes started today. I rode my bike to school.
    English class, it’s the usual. My 3rd time taking it…. I don’t know what to make of it. I didn’t really like it. But I think it’s time to just get this class over with.
    Sociology class was boring. and It sucked, just like Psycology, not as much, but still in the same catigory of suckage.

    It was raining for a bit, as I came home. but the papers in my backpack didn’t get all that wet, so it was all G.

    Came home, and nothing as usual. I found out that the package from Katlyn came today, but since nobody was home, I have to go pick it up at the post office tomorrow.
    It was soo ghey too, as I was coming home, I was passing by the mail trucks, If only I could have been home like not even 20 minutes earlier, than I would have got it.
    So then that kinda put me in a gloomy mood for the rest of the day.

    - Sunday, January 22, 2006

    Work. 10-5:30. I totally forgot my give away stuff today. I was gonna sign the Haf-Life 2 poster that I got yesterday and give it to some lucky hottie. So, I had to go to the 99cent store to get something. I was thinking about getting a Kite, but I saw some HandCuffs, so I got that instead. haha.
    I gave the handcuffs away to Cody’s so-called exgirlfriend, he told me to, he said she’s kinky like that. haha.

    other than that, Sunday was a pretty dull day.
    Side note, picked up my W2 from work. Taxes, oh yay.

    Dino finally gave me that Dixie Chicks CD he found in the theatre. But It pretty much sucks. I believe, it’s the album that came out before Fly came out, if I’m not mistaken. Everybody knows that Fly is teh only Dixie Chick album worth having. And yeah, I might have banned any listening to the Dixie Chicks before, but now that their like all washed up and gone, then that means it’s ok to listen to them now.

    - Saturday, January 21, 2006

    Now this was a good day. It was my, “I see pride, I see power, I see a badass, who dont take no crap from nobody” day. haha, Cool Runnings is classic. Anyways, today was my day of bossing around the wannabe manager, Trinidad. I was giving him a hard time all day, not doing things he asked me to do, talking back to him about it. And telling him what to do. I even did the impossible and made him do a trash run, and all by himself too. haha. Kablam! In His Face!
    And because of that trashrun, he didnt get to leave early, like he always tries to do. And aparently the idiot likes taking his breaks when we have theatres to clean. So I straight up told him, to not do that anymore.

    I saw Sarah “The Clash Girl”. She wanted to watch Underworld, but they wouldn’t let her, cause she’s 17.
    Then aparently CBR Guy was there, but I totally missed him. That sucked. Well, it’s good to know that he’s alive.

    On my break I went to gamestop and James gave me some free stuff. I pre-ordered Test Drive Unlimited for the x360. I got one of those wannabe livestrong rubberband bracelets. But this one is white and it’s a Xbox 360 11/22/05 Launch bracelet. And I got a Half-Life 2 poster, But I think he said it was a Final Fantasy X-2 poster.
    Then I was asking people if they wanted tickets for Undeworld, the 10:30 show. but, no one wanted to go see it right then. Asked the two hotties that work at Waldenbooks aka borders, and they thought I was a scalper trying to sell the tickets, not give them away.

    I was scheduled till 10, so I was gonna watch the 10:30 Underwold. I got asked to stay a little later, to help out in concession. But they like ran out of everything, even popcorn. All they had was the drinks and candy. So I told Alwin that there was nothing for me to help with, and asked if I could go.

    I walked into Underworld, without a ticket. ooh, I’m such a Rebel. It’s a pretty good movie. I think I’ll even put this one over the first one. But, you have to know the first one, or else your gonna be confused while your watching this one. Other than that, it’s a great movie. Teh new best movie of the year so far? probably.

    - Friday, January 20, 2006

    There’s not much I remember about today. all I can say is that I had work 5:00-11:00. It was the usual.
    Didn’t go to my History class today. I told my mom that I don’t like it, and that I want to drop it.

    - Thursday, January 19, 2006

    I don’t know what I did today either. I think it probably was a day filled with playing Amped 2 and Halo 2.

    And then I think I watched Ocean’s 12 on HBO. It’s a pretty good movie. I liked it. The only reason why there was people coming out of the theatre saying that movie was horrible and confusing and all that, was because they didn’t see the first one.
    It’s like watching The Matrix Revolutions without having watched the first two.
    you just have to see Ocean’s 11, before you see Ocean’s 12. and then you’ll be able to get it, and you won’t be confused, and you’ll see that it’s a good movie.

    I also think that I got my Gel Tabz for the x360 controler, today, in the mail. too bad I didnt have a x360 to try it out in a game. But just holding the controler with it, felt pretty comfy.

    - Wednesday, January 18, 2006

    I totally have no idea what I did today. besides skip school, as usual… I probably went to the mall or something. I don’t know.
    I guess I’ll make up something. get some filler in here. So, today, I, uh…, killed some Ninja’s, cause they deserve to die. especially at the hands of a Pirate.

    I was probably just playing Xbox and wastin time on the computer as usual.

  • - Tuesday, January 17, 2006

    I had quite a bit of stuff on my “to do” list for today, but the weather wasn’t cooperating with me… So I pretty much did nothing all day, just stayed home and played xbox. teh og xbox that is.
    UPS came at like 4o’clock this afternoon to pick up my xbox360, to be sent back for the second time… they soo better send me a new one this time… anyways, I guess I’ll have my x360 back by early next week.

    - Monday, January 16, 2006

    what I did today: clean my room.
    other than that… teh usual nothingness…

  • Blah. No real updates to this thing lately because Sunday is my birthday and I’ll be turning Old. lol. as I write this I have less than 48 hours left of Youthful Awesomeness, and I’m not gonna waste any of it writing down what I did each day over the past week. But basically I’ve just been abuseing my youth, which pretty much means doing nothing at all, being lazy, eating lots of junkfood, staying up way too late, 2am freeway rides on my bike, and some other dumbstuff.
    And then after I turn Old (20), I will have to stop some stuff that I’ve recently been doing like it’s goin out of style.

    So untill then,

    “Live it up, cause your going down.”
  • Driving cars sucks. Especially big, stupid, slow vans.

    Give me anything with two wheels, that I can put up on 1.
    and I’ll be happy…. well, let me rephrase that, anything besides stupid ghey mopeds.

    And that’s all I have to say, for now.

  • - Friday, January 6, 2006

    Got up at 11. Ah, I was soo tired still. I went to bed at like 5.
    Got my 360 working again, with some problems here and there.

    Beat Smash TV. The games is only like 3 levels, but they sure are hard. I have no Idea how many continues I had to use. a lot.

    Finally put together that fan that was sitting in the box outside my door for the longest time. I’m only useing it for this stupid xbox360. I have it standing like not even 1 foot away from the thing blowing right on it, on high. hopefully It will be a good enough bandaid for the thing untill the stupid box that I’m still waiting on finally gets here so I can send in this P.O.S..

    Work. I went all poseur today. Oh, and last night I found my “In Training” nametag. It was in my mom’s car. I’ve been looking everywhere for that. So yeah, I finally get to sport the In Training, once again. and I even used it as an excuse to some guy. “oh, sorry, I’m new.” *points to nametag* haha.
    My poseurness was top’d off with my uber cool lick&stick tattoo that I put on my forearm. One guy was all like, “the colors came out real nice on that.” I just laughed, and then he realized it was fake, and then I told him that he could get one too, from the machine by KB Toys.
    I was drafted into concession today. Pretty much right when I started too. And then I had to help close, since It was just two other people. I just about spent the whole time closing, cleaning one popper. But I did a pretty good job on it.
    I got out of there at 12:12am.

    SOTD: Revenge I Seek – Bleeding Through
    H/M: good/today had its ups and downs. mainly downs at home and ups at work.

  • - Wednesday, January 4, 2006

    So I finally got another one of teh ooh soo wonderful 1-10 shifts that I was too used to having, but I haven’t had one recently for the longest time.

    Well, It was a nice day at work. The two old pricks were back today, I wanted to say something to them, but I missed them coming out of the theatre.
     
    Saw Kat, so I gave her a thing for a free small popcorn that someone had left at the podium, and the two readmit passes that I scored on monday.

    Got a call from gamestop, it just being the official notice that I have untill friday the 13th to bring back any checked out games or use my discount. and thanking me for my time working there, and just saying that if they have any spots open up in the future then maybe I could get back over there.

    On my break I reserved me a copy of Bleeding Through’s The Truth.

    and being that this was like the first time in almost forever that I was off at 10, I totally forgot about it. and didn’t realize it till 10:33, that I was supposed to be off like half an hour ago. So I told mandy to clock me out at 10:40. haha.

    SOTD: Tragedy Of Empty Streets – Bleeding Through
    H/M: good/good

    yeah. I’ve been kinda hung up on Bleeding Through lately. Their even currently on teh desktop background.

  • Tuesday, January 3, 2006

    So I slept till like 2pm after going to bed at like 3am.
    Played some GTA: San Andreas on  both teh xbox and x360. Teh three six ooh speeds up that insanely long load time like you wouldn’t believe. And it also gets rid of the pop in.

    Then got on DOA4. It’s pretty sweet. But the online lobbies that they talked about so much, is just completely pointless. If your in the lobby you’re not apart of the game. you can’t even be in the line to wait for your turn to play. I guess it could be a nice thing to have if you have to step out for a few minutes and don’t wanna leave the server. Plus, that tv screen they have in the lobby totally lags. It’s looks like it’s 5 frames per second or something like that…
    I gotta see this game running on my computer screen.

    I had to take back GTA to gamestop. James was there. He told me that I’m an employee there untill the 13th. So up till then I can abuse my game borrowing and discount privileges.

    Then I had to go to the airport to pick up my mom from work.

    SOTD: Kill To Believe – Bleeding Through
    H/M: good/ahhh… I wish I could just have couple days of doing nothing but bummin around the house.

  • - Monday, January 2, 2006

    Got up at 9. cause I started work at 10.
    Kenneth/Qwai Chan, brought doughnuts for everyone. That was nice of him.
    It wasn’t long before I had to get on a register in concession, since it was soo busy.
    Set. I was soo tired today….
    anyways. more reason to hate old people. These two old ladies come up to my register. and their all like, “you look like you don’t know what your doing. you must be new.”  It’s like wtf lady, someone’s a fucking judemental prejudice prick. fyi, I’ve been working their for over a year. and out of all the employee’s who were working today, besides the managers, I’ve been there the longest. They order a number 1 combo. one large popcorn and two medium drinks. $12.25 . she holds out two $10 gift certificates and tells me, “is it ok if I give you two of these? or is that too confusing for you? here, I’ll just use one, and I have $2.25 .”  The two of them must have just got back from a bitches inc. meeting or something. I guess in their narrow minded world, anybody with long uncombed hair, big black X’s on their hands, and a bracelet with skulls on it, is a dumb f*k.  So since they wanted one, I gave them one. I’m all acting, “hm… a #1, thats a…. that comes with a… large popcorn right?… yea…. do you want butter on that?”  “yeah, some, but not like a bucket load.” “oooh! two squirts!” haha. then with the dinks, “so, what kind of drinks did you want?… diet coke. where is that? oooh! there it is!”  and while I’m doing that, the other lady asks, “Is this your first day?” then the main bitch add in, “he’s probably high or just slow…. or he could be a jerk.”  too bad they left right when I gave them their drinks and they had the exact change down on the counter. Cause oooh, if I would have had the opertunity to give them change, then that would have been great, that soo was gonna be teh “I’m new, ‘slow’, and on drugs” finalle.
    well, not much else went on, since I was standing at the podium for most of my time there. I was asked to stay till 9, said ok.
    I was doing pretty good at podium. Since their was a long line outside, some people with their readmit passes and their costco free movie ticket pass things, they’d come up to me at the podium with it, and ask If they could give it to me instead of haveing to stand in the line with it. I’d take their free passes for my self, as stuff to give away on sunday. and I’d just let them in. But of course I lie to them and ask them what movie their going to, and that afterwards I’ll go give their passes to the box office and have them run it through the computer for the movie their going to.
    So I got 4 of these passes, but I gave two away to James. James from GameStop.

    hows that. In these last 4 days, I’ve worked 37 hours. Originally I was only scheduled to work 2 of these last 4 days, for a total of 13 hours….
    and then next week I got 5 days for a scheduled 38 hours.

    I was soo dead tired by the end of the night.

    oh, and I get home, and just for the hope that it’ll magically start working again, I once again try to get my x360 to turn on. and yes, It’s working right now. though, I didn’t throw in DOA4 yet. And tomorrow I’m planing doing nothing but to play GTA San Andreas all afternoon, before I have to take it back to GameStop.
    oh well, my x360, maybe working again, but I’m expecting it to stop working again soon. even if it continues to work fine, I’m still gonna send it in when ever that box comes in the mail. and M$ better send me a brand new one.


    SOTD: Love In Slow Motion – Bleeding Through
    H/M: ok…/blah, I need to get some rest.
