I got an invitation to assist composing a play about the life of Jesus!
My favorite place in my house is clean - The kitchen!
My pay check should be coming soon!
And I get free food! (I just love throwing that in there)
Big boss man came into work today. I've been hearing about him ALL week. Especially when my managers would tell me "Don't do it this way - big boss man would yell at your for it!" Well, it turned out he didn't! He was a very considerate nice and helpful man! He even complimented my works more than once. But, IT happened... I made a mistake. He came over to me and very gently told me "You've gotta do it this way because..." I was like "Oh, ok, no problem!" I was told to "do it this way" before, but never recieved the explaination why. So, now I shall. It seems things stick out in your mind a little more clear when you know the "why". It's easy to forgoe little details when you're in a hurry. Even he didn't follow everything to a "T". Anyway, big boss man was a cool guy.
My Grandmother called to congratulate me on my new job. I've been wanting to call and thank her for the card she sent me for my birthday. It is a great card. I love it. ..."where is it?" *looks around* ... "AH! I lost it!" ... "Ah! I found it!" hehe
It says: "All about GRANDSONS. On BIRTHDAYS, some get neckties, some get cakes, some get kisses, some get shakes, some get parties, some get cheers... but YOU get nicer through the years! Happy Birthday, Grandson! Love you always, your Grandmother."
On the drive home I got into a disscussion with my mom on the "worth" of a person. I was reading to her one of my favorite books when we got to a standstill when the author mentioned a person's "net worth" and "THIS man is worth billions of dollars". She doesn't like the sound of "oh, that man is worth millions of dollars". I personnally don't have a problem with it because... he is. Although, I can clearly see the difference that a single person is priceless. If that person had millions of dollars, yes you can "assign" a price value TO them. Because it's true, they are worth millions - in material items or cash. Lets say that the million dollar person was sued and all their millions was taken away. Now they are WORTH NOTHING... in material possesions! It doesn't change the fact that THAT human being, full of ideas, personality, unique traits and creativity - being a millionaire or a hundredaire *laughs* - is priceless.
Just because a person can be deemed "worth millions" doesn't mean the person is "worth nothing" if they do not have millions of dollars. That's obvious! And we see it everyday when other people go out of their way to risk their own life to save anothers. What I don't get is how can a person clearly see this fact and yet still be insulted when another human being will say "Oh, you're worth nothing because you have nothing". Why would that matter if you KNOW that is not true. *shugs*.....
More later on composing the play as I get the details... if I agree to do it, that is.

Even though, all I had to eat for breakfast was toast. I was awarded with a full free meal afterwards and the best tasting pepsi I've ever had. It didn't dawn on me until now that maybe the fact the pepsi tasted sooo good was that I was soooo hungry.
I asked for more hours and they're giving it to me! I have been successfull at being a great employee - my boss said I'm doing a "kick a$$ job". It's a seriously fun place to work, I'm really enjoying it. My mom used to tell me how it was a great place to work but, I didn't believe her at the time. I wish I had started working there a few years ago. I probably would be a manager by now. The other day I was showing my managers how to properly prepare one of the food items! It was so funny for us all. I keep thinking: "In time, I shall be CEO." *laughs*!
Since I'm the cook I get full control of the radio and the TV they have there (yeah! There's a radio AND a TV!). *laughs*, I didn't know how to change the station on the radio and I pushed some keys and then a spanish talk show came up! My manager asked me "What station do you want?" I said "...well", and pushed a button and got another crazy spanish talk show - it was so hilarious - the guy was making some very funny noises over and over! Kind of like a mixture of the spanish R-sound with a "yeeee" and a "whaaaa!". He kept it up for about 10 seconds. Then she showed me how to change it. I got to listen to some conservative talk radio during work! (hey the other day everyone got to watch a gay episode of The Simpsons! *laughs*) One of my fellow employees noticed what was on the radio and asked me "Do you like George Bush like your mother does?" I suspected he didn't like him, I wasn't sure. I just shrugged and said "He doesn't do everything I'd like him too". And the man looked at me like 'Oh, I guess I don't get to argue" and said no more. I told my mom later and she laughed and said "He probably wants to argue with you like he does me". So I was happy because I don't want to argue with anyone about politics. The way I see it is neither side - Democrat nor Rebublican - can please you all the time.
I'm registered independant. And I don't know where my voters registration card is! ACK! *laughs*
I haven't been able to do all the things I want to lately - and I like it. Yeah, that's odd. But, before I had the ability and the time to do everything I wanted - and I didn't do it. I had very little desire or motivation. Even though I WANTED to, I didn't REALLY want to - I'd rather waste some time playing a videogame or something. Now that I have very little time to work on personal projects, I really enjoy the fact I truely DESIRE to work on them! Forget the videogames! It's a good feeling. *laughs*
'Kind of shocking how much time a part time job uses up.
Got cancer? This is an interesting article. Read it now because it's only going to be there for a week or maybe longer...
I love great quotes:...
- "[It is]... pride that causes people to deny the truth that they are slaves of sin."
- "Ultimately, this country will have to decide what it wants to be: a society based on traditional values or a society built on the sands of moral relativism where anything goes--and usually does. As we know, the latter path leads to death and destruction, and Christians cannot stand idly by."
- "If we are caught up in the cares of the world--whether the hustle and bustle of a shopping center or the maddening traffic of modern big-city freeways—it is easy to forget that the Spirit is with us." -Roy Masters.
My father is becoming increasingly angry with my brother lately for his lack of action. My brother was awake all night learning misc. programming languages and forced himself to go to church. And while I was out helping my dad a little with the house work he said "Go get your brother out here. I don't want any excuses, he should be helping us." I knew he wasn't coming out because on the way out of my home I heard he was going to sleep. Yes, he should help out more, but not when he's rediculously tired. And he has helped out around the house... just not enough in my father's view. o_O
Well the 40 hour download of the Everquest 2 trial was worth it! I played for a few hours today - I originally wanted to sample it - but I couldn't stop playing! Instantly it reminded me of my favorite MMORPG, Ryzom. After playing it for a while I noticed quite a few other MMORPG games it reminded me of such as, Guild Wars, Anarchy Online, Runescape, Phantasy Star Online and a couple of the free ones. So far (I'm still on newbie island) it's been a very fun MMORPG... my new favorite! I never thought I'd enjoy the infamous "Everquest". It has a lot of great elements that make it simple to play with a bit of strategy. It also has beautiful graphics - even though the characters look kind of ugly, like early CG work, which I enjoy because I remember the days when I thought "Oh I can't wait until videogames look like that when you play them!". The only downside thusfar is the lack of players on the server. It felt empty, like I was playing a Singleplayer game even though I see some players running by me once in a while. It feels like a disconnected connectedness. If that makes any sense. Each person to their own. Doing their own thing... just another leveling game. But, what I enjoyed so much about the MMORPG Ryzom is the world! It was just so fun to wander around, explore, harvest and fight the interesting creatures. And that's why I like this game so much, so far. It feels the same way... I just enjoy exploring the world! The added bonus was the community was very friendly! I'm hoping it will remain the same when I get off of newb isle.
Today in church I had a sense of urgency and seriousness to get my patriarical blessing, and soon. I think it was the most serious I've ever felt at church. Maybe it was more of a "focusing". I felt very calm, sure and dedicated. It seems everytime after church I want to meditate, rest and relax. I always stay in the car outside my house for a few minutes and think - about the lessons about my current plans and whatever else crosses my mind. It is very relaxing.
Our home teacher came over today without his companion, he couldn't get in contact with him. That's no biggie to me. I always enjoy having our home teacher over. He's a very nice and cool guy. I feel sorry for him in one way because my father likes to talk a lot and so he'll get around to telling a long story or just expressing himself and our home teacher will just sit there and patiently listen to him. It seems we always make him late for his next home teaching session. hehe, but come to think of it, he's the only person that comes inside our house! We must be starving for visitors. haha
I didn't end up talking to that girl I had a dream about. I kept thinking... "What was it I wanted to tell her?" And then I got distracted by the lesson... well, more likely I was being distracted by thinking about her. She is a very pretty girl. She glanced over at me quite a bit, but maybe it was because I was looking at her so often. heh
Always another day.

Today at work was funny (I wasn't even scheduled today, but got called in!) because one of my bosses (we have around 4 in the same store! haha) was in a hurry with work and kept telling me as he was working "You're not supposed to do it this way, but it's ok because we're in a hurry" over and over! It was so funny. "I'll teach you how to do it right when we aren't so busy."
He also left me alone for a few minutes and I didn't have any guidance to make sure I was doing everything correctly. But, I decided to go ahead because I felt I had enough instruction to do it all by myself, albeit, slowly. And when he got back he told me I did a good job! Later on in the day he gave me a compliment card that said "Great job for catching on so quickly! Totally!" hehehe. Whoever gets the most cards in a month gets a special award. It could just be a picture on the wall or something silly. But it's fun.
I watched I,Robot again, after not seeing it since we bought it, last night. Such a cool movie! After watching it I put on the commentary and fell in a comfortable sleep. Word. I mean, wierd. I want to watch it again. I thought my movie watching spree days were over.
Last week, a girl I know said to her parents while glancing at me "Well, I finally have some friends here for once!" And I had a dream about it last night. Basically I approached and asked her about it in the dream. I guess I've been thinking about approaching her in real life and asking her. This happens to me a lot. I tend to dream about anything I've on my mind.
I've been wanting to become friends with her for a long time. When I think back to when we first met, she was aggressively interested in being friends. But we had a few political dissagreements when we were younger. I've grown a lot since then... she appears to have as well. I'm hoping we could actually talk about politics in a reasonable manner... without getting angry. hehe I know I can. I might ask her today.
When do I get my first paycheck?! I keep forgetting to ask. Whoohoo! It'll probably be about $5 or something. haha

It was slightly faster pased than I first anticipated and yet remained fun. I was basically getting used to how things are run. The day after coming out of orientation and I realized a simple - but noteworthy - fact. A lot of the people sway from the rules... just a tad. It was funny. I felt almost like fresh meat who just recieved proper training and it was my job to remind everyone else how things were to be done.
But, at the same time I still have a lot to memorize in order to do the job without anyone elses assistance. The first hour was a bit "whoa". The next few hours were quite easy and I was thinking "I'll have this down in no time". hehehe
The managers (note: there were four in the same store!...) have a very cool special privilege. They could title their name-tags with cool nicks like Cracker and Big Dog! Heh, I want to become a manager just for that! haha
It still appears that there is not too much required by the job. And yet, all these simple things are SO IMPORTANT to run things smoothly and make the customer happy.
The managers definitely have a laid-back fun attitude while working. I saw quite a few humorous incidents I won't mention here - on my first day. The manager said a couple times "Hey, we should set a good example here for the new guy on his first day! *laughs*"
My brother started learning the BASIC programming language. He let me glance through it and I could see it's simplicity and simularities compared to C++ programming. He wants to start programming some simple Atari style games and go from there. I think it's a great idea - but I'm more geared towards learning Flash game programming. It seems quite capible of doing a lot with nice flashy graphics. I guess that's why they called it Flash. heh
On the way to work today I was thinking about an old story idea I haven't fully fleshed out and I thought up some more ideas as well as a way to connect this story to two seperate stories! I'm really excited about the idea of turning them into a trilogy.
Lindt 70% dark chocolate is the best!
// SygLyfe - A signature of life // ©
Yeah baby! It was easy, lots of fun and I got paid for it! How cool?! Way cool!
I got free food and watched videos and learned a lot of new great skills required by the job. I'm totally getting excited over this little job. There is so much more to it than I originally thought. I realized - even as capible as I am at learning - that I was lacking lot of customer service skills. Or, maybe it's the simple fact that this company cares more for the customer than the company I previously worked.
It was the teachers first time teaching! So the environment was very laid back and easygoing. My mother said that these people almost always have that attitude. Which is cool.
Anyway, time for sleep. I have more training tomorrow!

Wow, it's been a long time since I've done that. The whole anger in the argument was stupid. My father came to a personal realization - one of those "ah-ha!" moments I love so much. And I didn't entirely agree with what he was saying. I wanted to challenge some of his viewpoints... and he wouldn't let me. And I kept trying and he still cut me off - overspoke me as I tried to overspeak him. It is an aweful thing to do. Very disrespectful. I gave up - a couple times. I just wanted him to understand my viewpoint. He said I insulted him - calling him stupid. And I said nothing of the sort - nor would I. It was just his feelings of my disagreement towards his "ah-ha!" moment that hurt his pride, he wanted to be right, and thus he felt insulted - AS IF I insulted him directly.
And on the flip-side, he did insult me. Clearly and directly - multiple times. I told him it was very disrepectful and I did not appreciate it at all. It's not my father is a bad person. He's not. (read below)
It's just that I became overly emotionally involved - I couldn't look at it objectvely Oh? That's normal you say? I "suppose" it is, but it shouldn't be. Everyone - almost everyone - is too emotionally involved in EVERYTHING! STOP IT you fools. (I'm talking to myself here too hehe)
I went off to meditate in a rage of frustration. My mind was running rampant with stupid things your mind does when your angry. Well, in my case it was nothing evil towards my father. It's not in my nature, but I did have feelings of "I don't care anymore". And on and on my mind went with carrying on the conversation - or - what could have happened. It's a pretty useless thing to do, in my opinion. But it helped me with something. I thought up something aweful and almost felt like screaming and breaking things - at that moment I recalled the last time I "tried out" my anger to see what it was like. I didn't like it then, and I never wanted to do it again - including this time - My father needed his sleep. Then it just hit me...
Oh - my - word! There are people in this world going through things I just thought - and worse. Your mind is such a powerful thing. I could feel as if I was in that situation - without fully breaking down. And in an instant of this understanding all the anger towards my father evaporated. I felt so blessed and happy. So greatful and comforted! I wanted to explain this to my father - but he's asleep. hehe
I realized how simpleton the situation was. It was clear to me now - as it should have been while it was happening.
And now that I look back on it I don't care what he said. I'll always love'm. The big goof. ^_^ hehe
This shouldn't happen. There was something off today, I noticed it early on. We accomplished a lot, we cleaned up our backyard and had a great time doing it too! I listened to the entire God Forbid - Constitution of Treason album and I felt like I was on a power trip. I had an illusion of power because of this music durring the later portion of my day. It was cool in one way, but strange in another. I think it had something to do with my foggy headed-ness.
I have a recent saying: "My father is good practice... of testing my patience"

I had a dream this afternoon before heading off to church. In the dream I was coming out of a church building carrying an open box of things I wasn't too sure of. I was concerned about getting to my ride in the pouring rain. Before I reached the mini-van I set the box on the ground and hopped inside the van. It was then I realized I left my dog IN the box OUT in the rain!! I hopped back outside and grabbed my dog and ran back to the van. I felt so sorry for leaving this cute little white and fuzzy dog out there. How could I forget?! It was shivering in my arms as I cuddled it to help it warm up. I felt it's mouth brush my forarm as it tucked it's head under it. It was so soft and warm and cute and fuzzy and little!
The dream was very vivid and I have kept thinking about that dog all day...
The BEST pizza in Arizona - hands down! Raphael's Pizza! Real Itallian pizza! It tasted like REAL pizza. My dad heard a commercial for it on the radio and decided the other day we should go check it out. We barely found the place because it's quite hidden and a very small resturaunt. After pushing past the rather old used and abused door I approached the counter and I see two young people and two old people. The old people were cooking the food, they looked Itallian too. And young man with a husky/raspy voice comes up to us and my father goes about his usual questions and jokes at news places, including "If this food isn't any good, we know where you work! *laughs*" hahah. He was questioning whether that was a bad idea after we left.
We got an all pepperoni, half onion, half olive large pizza. Two of the huge slices was enough for me. It was delicious and I didn't feel weird afterwards like I would after eating a lot of Pizza Hut pizza.
My friend got back from his Austrialia mission this week. It was good to see him again and we chatted for a bit. I could hear a slight accent in his voice! And a few people at church were teasing him about it. hehe
I remember the testimony he shared in the Elders quorum before he left - and after hearing his testimony after two years of missionary work - wow. There's a big difference, and I thought he had a very good testimony at the beginning.
My brother found two really cool free MMORPGs! One is Shot-Online, a free golf based MMORPG and the other is FlyFF (Fly For Fun) which is a hack 'n slasher. Maybe more on them later.
My new job... well it's not official - yet. I have to go in tomorrow and fill out some more paperwork and then it shall be. They are only going to work me two days a week - which sucks. Ah, well. It's better than nothing. I don't think I'll work there very long. But I need something now, so it'll do. I just need something to get me started - I have better options in the future.
I've been avoiding my IM proggies.

It could be so! The other day my mother called me and said her boss was freaking out because he is the only cook currently. What does that mean? It means he needs cooks and quickly! Supposedly I was "un-officially officially" hired the other day. Today I went in to fill out the application and everything should be on it's way soon. I'd prefer to work at the initial business that called - they pay more and it's closer to me - but, it's ok. Now it's all about who's faster at hiring! hehe
Is this a "the meaning of life" question?
What's more dangerous and why?
1) A 9mm handgun. Cocked and fully loaded.
or
2) A pack of cigarettes and a lighter.
They're both inanimate objects - A reasonble mind can look at a gun and know it's dangerous.
Obvious answer: The gun is an immediate danger - A cigarette is a long term danger.
Not so obvious answer: It is the impulse that moves the hand, that is the real danger. What is it that drives a person to pickup a gun... to smoke a cigarette? The impulse.
How does this answer the meaning of life? I dunno, you think about it.

I started a 14 day trial of the online MMORPG (massively multi-player online roleplaying game) EVE Onilne the other day and I played a few hours today. It's quite a fascinating game - It appears to be a very social game. I like the analogy on the web site:
"One could compare this to the difference between a playground, such as EVE, and a theme park, which would be the traditional MMOG. In a playground you have access to different kinds of toys and rides, and you are allowed to use your own imagination to figure out how to create games you enjoy. In a theme park all the rides have been created for you and are either good or bad by design. The playground clearly offers more freedom but it requires you to think and be an active participant, while the theme park has taken those responsibilities away from you and you can just go with the flow."
As well as being fascinating, it's enjoyably simple in gameplay, but in terms of depth of features and exploration, it's quite complex! It's a good combination.
I'm really enjoying my haircut.

She (the interviewer) hasn't called me back. Is this a sign of poor management? Nor have I recieved a response from the puppy owner lady/person. :-\ ...errrr....
To be continued.
In other news, I found out there was a library very close to me! I always wanted to visit the library but the one I always used to visit was to far away. So, I'm happy. The first visit to a library in many, many months and I went bonkers! I was completely taken by suprise because it was a small branch and I thought there wouldn't be anything good in there. But, I found a lot of good music CDs I never knew the library would carry! How awesome! As I browsed the entire shelf of CDs for theatrical scores I found suprise after suprise and my stack became larger and larger. A young man came up along side of me and said...
"Heh, how are you?"
"Oh, hey, I'm goin' a bit nuts here." with a big 'o smile. Little did I know, he worked there and ended up checking out my items. hehe
I ended up with 10 CDs, 3 books and 1 DVD. If I didn't restrain myself I would have gotten more. o_O
I used to think "Why do I need a library when I have the internet?"
Well, that question was answered this day. I found quite a few good complete resorces of information. When I browse the internet for information, I find that it's quite scattered and difficult to find an all-in-one source for information. I'm feeling I'll be a frequent visitor to the library.

I got a haircut for the interview! No more long hair for me. And it looks good; Better than my last short haircut; I really like it.
So, I've only been to three interviews in my life. Everyone of them got me nervous. It's silly, but I started to calm down more during the interview. It was very relaxed and held outside the business. She only asked me a few questions and mostly talked about how they run the business. I was thinking, wow, I must be close to getting this job. Well, that was partly true. She needs people immediately, but I must go through a second interview with the district manager in order to finalize the deal to see if I'm "their type of person". I think I'll be a lot more calm and open during the second interview because I'll know what to expect.
The last interview I had was almost a year ago... so I've been a little out of practice. But, this got me up to speed fast and I have a "for dummies" book on interviewing that helps out with little things that might have made me fluster a bit.
She's going to call me back tonight or tomorrow.

Yes! I was getting ready to head out the door and return my birthday movie to the store and I just couldn't do it. I wanted to go outside and apply to work at every local store while I was at it - but something was holding me back. I just wandered about my house thinking "What should I do? What do I need to do?". There was a feeling inside me of 'what am I missing?'. So I waited and watched my brother play the demo of The Movies PC game. It's a pretty cool little game. I got bored of watching and headed on over to the TV and I spotted a house remodeling show. I love these shows and as I while I was captivated by the show, the phone rang. I thought it was my mother because I tried to call her earlyer about the movie. She only watched half of it and I found out that it doesn't go back until tomorrow. The voice on the other end of the line turned out to be someone else. I immedietely thought it was a wrong number because we don't get calls often from anyone. But nope! It was a store I applied at and they want me to go in for an interview tonight! AHAHA! YAY! I got a call! How cool. hehe (can you tell I'm new to this?)
So, I'm headed out to get a haircut and purdy up for my interview. hahaha

That's what I heard my father say over the phone after hearing three distinct "tink" sounds. The following moment of silence was steadily becoming scary.
"Dad?... Dad? ...Dad?!"
After getting no response I started to get worried. My emotions started to overtake me - and this doesn't happen often. I was nowhere near to be considered out of control, but it was enough that I decided take back my mind and calm myself down.
He was called out on a job site yesterday and got to keep it the following two days - if the site was still open - and it happened to be.
I didn't know where he was located. All I knew, it was somewhere in Scottsdale.
I thought to myself,
"What could I do if he was hurt? If I didn't get a response soon I would call the police and give them his cell number and hope they can track it somehow."
But, I had a stronger hope that if my father was hurt he would have enough ability to help himself out.
I hear a bit of shuffling and a second later he said,
"Some kids just shot my car with a paintball gun, ... I'll call you back."
I was nervous. What if it wasn't a paintball gun? No, it had to be. My father is a smart and observant man. And so I waited in a nervous fear and prayed to my Heavenly Father to help protect and assist him in this moment. Then I thought I'd give him five minutes and call back.
I did and the phone was busy. He was probably calling the police about the incident.
Under ten minutes later he called back. It was the case. He chased the funkers down and got their plate number - he told me they looked scared as he was driving right along side their car and looking into their eyes - called the cops and went back to the site.
I hope the cops confiscate their paintball gun. These guns hit hard and have a huge possibility for causing a lot of damage. They're not toys to be played with in this manner. I hope the cops fine'm or put'm in jail for a night for damaging property. As well as scaring the hell outta me - but that's ok because now there's only Heaven left. :-)
A lot went through my mind in these few short moments. I'm glad it's all ok.

I've been using my brothers Wacom tablet on my PC again because his USB port burned out. It's SO nice. It feels so natural and easy to use compared to a typical mouse. It's a joy to use the PC this way. And the best news is that when my brother buys a bigger, better one he'll let me have his old small tablet. Yay!
I went to Hollywood Video today to get a free movie rental for my birthday! I walked all around the new releases for something I've been wanting to see and I came across George A. Romero's Land of the Dead. I usually like to rent movies that I'm not sure I want to purchase, so this one I had mixed feelings on - even though I enjoy zombie movies - I wasn't sure if I wanted to own it. I'll probably buy it eventually because I really did enjoy it. It's definitely a crazy zombie movie! It had a lot of funny moments and a lot of gruesome ones too. It always feels wierd to laugh at something that is so over the top but still shocking. While watching the movie there was a line said by John Leguizamo; Something about pulling a Jihad on the corporate guy. It made me think of real-life terrorism and I recalled the moment when I watched some terrorists literally saw off Nick Berg's head with a machete. I watched it because I wanted to see what they were capable of as well as to see if it was real. It didn't make me sick... but I've never felt such an almost un-controllable un-easy, nervousness and anger for such a period of time before. The video quality wasn't great, but you could make out enough details to see what was happening. I don't even want to think about it. But, everytime I do, I'm amazed at how stupid humans can be and are. It's so disturbing how blind these people are.
My father kept apologizing to me all day. He felt sorry that he cannot afford a gift for me on my birthday. And actually this has been one of my most enjoyable birthdays. I didn't do anything special or out of the ordinary. I think I feel this way partly because of my own personal accomplishments as well as just enjoying the simple things I have received from my friends and family. I really like the fact I feel a little wiser at the beginning of my birthday as opposed to the end. My official celebration will be on Sunday with brownies and ice-cream!
Painkiller is a-w-e-s-o-m-e. It reminds me of the days before I had a computer and the reason why I wanted one. ie: Doom. hehe
...I got balloons too. :-) -_^ - Thank you all my friends and family (my Grandmother just called to wish me a happy birthday!) for contributing to my birthday - adding to my happyness with the little things you do.
On a final note - My uncle from Oregon just called as I was about to shut-down my PC. I thought he was calling to wish me a happy birthday, turns out he just wanted someone to talk too. It was good to speak to him again because last time he called - about 4 months ago - he wanted my father to call him back and we didn't have his number. I felt bad about that. But I got his number this time!
He once again offered me a job because I, as of yet, lack one. He wants to start a turbocharger business. I know nothing about turbochargers. He told me that he'll teach me about'm and let me run the whole business. I thought, cool, this is exactly what I want; to run a business. It really doesn't matter what the business is, as long as I make it successfull. Plus, if I assume correctly, I want to get into car modding (hint: movie, Fast and the Furious) and I think turbochargers are in that catagorey.
But on the flip-side. I get a feeling he just wants an income without having to do much work. I don't blame him. I think my father wants the same thing. I don't mind working, I just don't want to be a slave. Not that I would be.
If I run a business, I'm going to run the business.

I just woke up - earlier than I expected given how late I went to bed - and I walk into my living room and see this!
How cool?! I haven't had one of these since... Well I don't remember the last time I had one!
Now who wants a fresh grapefruit, lemon, orange juice? I do!
I'm still looking for a job, so I'm going to try and apply at two places today. I need to go for a walk as well. I didn't get to walk yesterday.
Still no reply from the puppy owners. But I have been getting a lot of automated "Happy birthday!" e-mails from web site forums I forgot I signed onto. And my friends fiance sent me an e-card saying "Happy naked day!" because we are born naked. I thought it was hilarious. Thanks Fely!

Hmm... I turn 23 tomorrow and I'm now making this my official blog. I like the interface better and I have more options here.
For my birthday my mom let me go on a $20-ish shopping spree! haha, it was fun. I went to my favorite entertainment store to browse the selection of goods. And it just so happens everything appears lackluster - well, anything within a $20 price range. hehe
After running around to all my favorite sections of the store I was mentally choosing possible final choices. I ended up with three items in my hands. A videogame, a movie and an album.
1) Painkiller Black Limited Edition DVD - Awesome video game I've wanted for a very long time.
2) Children of Heaven - Wonderful, adorible foriegn film!
3) Morcheeba album - Great new downtempo band I discovered!
I went with the game because I've seen the movie and heard the music before. The game was new and would provide me with more hours of entertainment in the way of being a controlable movie with lots of new heavy metal music. hehehe
As of writing this blog I recieved a I.M. greeting from a friend I met on the Internet from another friend. She wants to make ammends with her friend. But from the sound of it, she didn't even know she had to. I don't want to get into the details right now. I just need to remember to make mention of this to my friend.
I could be a puppy owner soon! I'm talkin' with someone who's dog just had 11 puppies! A part labrador/mix. I would love to have a pet dog. I've wanted to have one for such a long time. But, I'm truely ready to have one now. I guess that sounds silly when you're turning 23 but I've matured slowly in some respects. Mainly... self disipline. (and I was studying various forms of martial arts in the beginning of my life... go figure)
So, when the owners replied to my e-mail and offered to send pictures, I gladly responded
"Yes I would love that! Send the pictures please, but no nude pups (haha)." in a joking manner.
And it so happens I didn't get a response the following two days. I was thinking that they're either getting the dogs dressed up for the pictures or they didn't like my joke. So today I sent another email asking about the pictures once again and clarifying my joke about the puppies, because puppies, as far as I know don't have fur when they're born. I thought it was funny.
I got a response later that evening. They told me that they sent the pictures and didn't get the address correct! That's what I get for having a silly e-mail address. *whew* I still have a chance here. hehe
A few days ago I truley felt so peaceful in my own home. I believe it was the first time I felt more peaceful inside my home compared to how I usually am more peaceful outside. Before this I had moments of stillness in certain areas of my home and only at certain times. But, I think it has something to do with a fan. I'll investigate this further.
The change of my blog signifies a change in my life. I'm changing for the better. I'm going to make myself wealthy enough to live at a comfortable level where I have the ability to use my time to help others where I can. What do I want to do with my life? I'm not entirely sure. But I have a few routes planned to travel.
Until later... this is Sum Yuhn Gai's Life.
