Wahoo? I think so. I hope so. It's good pay and a fairly easy.
I'm going to get a Cellphone and my drivers license soon too. I'll be able to drive my self around anywhere I'd like to go.
Saturday morning I went with an old friend and my brother to go see Ultra Violet! It was totally cool. A very stylish simple plot action movie. I loved it, my brother had problems with things in the story and our friend thought it was very cool too.
My brother also rented the Wallace and Gromit movie! It was awesome! After watching this movie I realized how poor Ultra Violet really is... although I still like it. Anyway, Wallace and Gromit is the kind of movie I can watch over and over and over! It's so cute and strange and funny. The last movie I wore out was The Emperor's New Groove. hehe
I was not a fan of the Wallace and Gromit movies or series or whatever it was previously. I think that's the reason why I had trouble getting used to the first 10 minutes of the movie... it was just .... strange. But it progressively became better and better throughout the movie. Which you don't often see in comedy movies...
It looks like I'm only going to get about 5 hours of sleep before work today. That's not good... first day on the job and very little sleep. I'll be fine.
Ah, that girl I mentioned before about her wanting to have more friends and I wanted to talk to her, but didn't. Well I saw her at church today at the singles ward! It suprised me because I didn't expect her there. Immediately when I saw her my eyes lit up and I shouted "Hi!" (I guess it's the whole job aditude thing that is getting me to act on what I think). She waved and said "hey" back. After I went to class and sat down she came up beside me and asked if my mother was going to sit next to me (she saw me talking to her in the hall) and if she could sit. Of course she could... I said "My mom is going to a different class" and I nodded.
"So what's up?" she said.
I shrugged - being my usual response to most people - I didn't want to end it there so I continued... "uhm" and talked about some recent events.
I think it was the most we have talked in a couple years.
After years of just passing by and briefly glancing at her or a short one sentance conversation, it was interesting to sit right next to her and just talk about stuff.
More later.... NO TIME!!!

I almost didn't want to update my blog. But I also urged to update it. It seems to be somewhat of a trouble at times. All the preperation that goes into sorting out your thoughts - especially when you have lots to do and don't have a lot of time go about them. I suppose any update is better than nothing.
My father - I love him very much... it was his birthday today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I was the only to give him a gift. I got home around 2am and he was waking up for work I couldn't wait and handed him his present and said happy birthday! Two shirts. MUCH needed shirts. He was wearing ripped up stained shirts before this. Just hasn't took the time to go out and buy some. He was wearing one of the shirts I bought him when we got back from church today. It looked nice on'm.
He was in a moody mood all day. "My birthdays always suck." When we were looking around the movie store for a FREE movie to rent, I went up to him with a smile with new movies "How about this one" He'd glance at it quickly and hand it back "I don't know anything about it..."
"Well' that's why you're supposed to read it." I said in a silly tone. He wasn't interested at all no matter how good the movie looked or sounded. He was aching for something that would make him laugh and ended up renting A Series of Unfortunate Events! I was hoping the movie would be more on the side of funny than "unfortunate"... it was a nice combo of both.
On the ride home from the video store my mother said...
"Your father hasn't been too happy today"
"I know, he wants to be that way, he's choosing to be that way. You can't force happyness on someone... just enjoy the day yourself and show him there is a possibility to be happy and he might follow."
My birthdays weren't all that spactacular! But I enjoyed them anyway! Stick your tounge out at the world (just for a moment) and be happy anyway!!!
That's the way I felt while I was with my dad today. I didn't tell him, I just showed him and my halfway intention worked. He suprised me by returning home with icecream, rootbeer and a nice cake! He was saying stuff like "Alright now we're going to have a celebration." hehehe
We started to watch the movie and it's a great movie! Yep that's all I'm gonna say. Well, except the baby in that movie was adorible! And the scenery was amazing... it was fake looking with a touch of real... or real with a touch of fake... hmm... anyway. My father had to sleep while we watched it. I hope he enjoys it. He seemed to enjoy the little he saw. He went to bed happy.
I visited the writer of that play. He was a very nice guy. We got along and he gave me some very good tips on playing guitar! When he explained a couple things that have pondered my mind I was flabbergasted! It was so easy and awesome to finally be able to pull off these techniques. It's actually been a week since I saw him and I've been practicing a blues chord he taught me. It's totally easy to do and sounds really good.
He informed me a few days ago that I am the core guy for composing the music. He liked the samples I sent'm and handed me the platter. This is awesome! And the fact when we were speaking in person, our minds really were on the same page. The only down side is that I have not been able to do anything yet except prepare my mind and play around with the guitar so far... while he has produced another three full song lyrics.
I'm going to purchase a laptop and a phone with wireless internet access. It's a blessing and a curse for me to be without my PC & the internet... hahah. It'll be so great, small, quiet and I'll be able to compose on-the-go. It's what I need and have wanted forever. I'm actually tempted to buy my fathers laptop from him... and he does want to sell his phone too... hmmmmm...
I'm going to be working a second job if all goes well. It pays well too... maybe I've made mention of this before. I found out that it actually pays more than what my friend gets working as an assistant in the AZ senate. Bit surprising... but I've got to work harder. heh, His job sounds more fun. hehe
But my new future boss is an extremely interesting guy! He always sounds so facinated with every little thing. It just brings a smile to my face because it's like a little child thinking "Oh wow" to all the new and interesting things around him. He's very polite and quite direct, but not in a mean way. I think I'll enjoy working for him.
Hmm, I have been becoming concerned with my health. I haven't noticed my eating patterns before when I didn't have to work. But now it seems I have only been eating two light meals a day. I feel fine. But I want to eat more healthy. All these free pizza's (even with veggies) don't seem that healthy. I miss juicing fresh fruit.
I really have been enjoying my time away from my father and brother. And not in a bad way because I really do wish I was there to help them out in more than one way. It's just that I haven't spent so much time with my mother in such a long time!!! I lived with my mother for about 18 years, my father then bought a house and I just couldn't resist to live in a house! It's wonderful to have a house. So many great things about it. Anyway, it's been nice to actually complete my thoughts. When I speak with my father, he'll usually cut me off before I get to finish and he'll add onto what I am saying or "correct" me. With my mother, I get to just jabber on about anything and everything she'll listen and respond... but she won't always get my point. But at least I don't get criticized for it. I'm very philisophical (did I spell that right? hehe).
At church - I went to the singles ward - we had a munch-and-mingle afterwards and played a silly game. I really enjoyed it and I was obviously invited to FHE (family home evening) after as well. Although, I work durring that time, the girl mentioned that they often play volleyball for hours afterwards and I miss playing volleyball. So I hope to make it - if I feel up to it.
Also while at church - my friend who I formerly worked with noticed me come in (or her friend pointed me out to her) and her head FLUNG around with a big smile! She looked not once, but twice (that I noticed). After the meeting was over she came over and said something along the lines of "You scared me half to death" and other sorts of simular things - repeating herself more than once. I told her, "I didn't come to..." (I almost said 'see you', but I thought that would sound rude) so I finised, "...scare you, I just wanted to come to church." It was a big deal in her head. I guess because I forgot she was going to come over and hand deliver her birthday invitation to me. So instead it was like I was coming to her for the invitation. I told her that I forgot and she seemed a bit insulted and gave me a fake "air slap" for it. hehe
On a side note, there are a lot of really cool and interesting people at the singles ward. I think I'm going to change wards - finally once and for all!
One more thing I just remembered! I voted this week?... Last week? Whenever! I voted recently and it was an awesome experiance. I forgot about it and my father called my work and my boss was nice enough to let me go and vote! (wether she did or not I would have went anyway, hehe) The drive over to vote was so fun because it felt like forever since we talked and we were chatting about lots of different recent events - jumping from one topic to another from one sentance to the next. It felt like a mini family reunion.
Anyway, it was the first poll for us to provide proof of ID before you're allowed to vote. It didn't cause any problems anywhere. Everyone there was very kind - they're always keen on the younger voters it seems. It's true too... it's really sad how many people out there seem to not care about voting - it's so important! I wish the younger people would realize this. And on my way out the woman said to me
"I remember you from last time. When was the last time you voted?" with a smile
"I voted during the last presidential election." (that was my first time voting)
She said, "Oh how great! I want to shake your hand." and she did. It was very interesting, I do not know exactly why she wanted to shake my hand, but it was very friendly. hehe
And even while I did vote and it was a very plesent experiance, I thought that my vote would have made a larger impact than it did. I guess there are too many people out there who are dumbed down by the media - or typical viewpoints programmed into us by schooling or whatever. I was actually in the minority side of the vote. And there didn't seem to be many people voting! So I thought I would have a greater impact. Ah well, I wish I put out a rally or something to sway things a little.
When I returned to work - the FIRST thing that popped out of my "boss's" mouth was "What's with you a voting?" My mouth dropped... I repsonded "What's with you and NOT voting?" And the was the end of the conversation. haha, but I seriously wanted a response. He's barely older than me.
On a final note... our home is still a disaster zone. I hate it... my father hates it. It's one of the main sources for his frustration. He wants me to help out, but I cannot. It really sucks. I want to help out on my days off work but they're not up to it or we're busy doing something else.
The dishes just got washed finally - after two weeks - today because of me. I don't want one of my favorite places in the house turn into a garbage pit. My brother needs to go to work - work on that disipline again. I've only been working for three weeks now and I've noticed a HUGE change in additude on doing "chores".
On a better final note! Roy Masters' has released THREE of his books for FREE on his web site (check link on the right - Foundation of Human Understanding)!! I was going to buy these books!! This is awesome! I can't wait to read'm.
This small intended update ended up larger than I ...intended.
'till next week, goodnight and don't let bad memories haunt you.

It was so wonderful. A light drizzle all day long. My trees needed it. hehe
I may be getting a 2nd job soon. Tomorrow, in fact - I hope!
Things to do on my day off:
Call three friends.
Go visit another.
Clean my house.
Fill out job application.
Hmm... I'm sore. My day off seems to be a day of recovery - a sleeping day.

I went outside to put my clothes into the dryer and noticed it was raining! Ah the sound of bits of drips hitting the earth and the beautiful fresh cool air. I love it! It's been over 140 days since it last rained here in AZ. The media has been making a use fuss over it. My poor father already in a grumpy mood has to work out in it. If it were me, I'd love it. I remember I walked in the rain one day without any covering. It was so fun! The feeling of freedom was amazing.
Life seems to be moving so fast. But it really isn't - there are always moments to take in and enjoy.

To my only reader. HI! Long time no chat, indeedy. My job has been keeping me very busy and very away from my PC. So... why haven't I called? Well I usually get home late and I don't want to wake you. I don't know what your current life style is. I'm thinking I might call you Sunday or Monday just to see what's up. I was supposed to have today off work, but my o-so-nice boss let me work today!
Earyler in the week I saw my schedual and thought "Darnit, they've taken away some of my hours because I worked so much last week." But, I also thought that maybe they would schedual me on a day I wasn't originally schedualed. And it happened!
The funniest thing at work happened today! I don't think it would translate correctly if I wrote it, and I don't have a lot of time to write anyway - I need to wash me clothes and go to sleep! But, it was so funny! My eyes were watery and I couldn't work for a minute... I just sat there and laughed so hard!
Since my job is located a while away from my house I have been spending many nights at my mothers home to save gas and time. It's been nice to be away from the PC - focus on other things - like my guitar! I have been practicing everyday - following a book... still on excersize 1! But at least I figured out how to play the C scale on guitar. hehe
On the flip side - It sucks to be away from my house because I can't help my dad and brother on remodeling our bathroom. It's driving my dad nuts and I asked him some questions about it before he left for work and he snapped at me "If you're not working on it - you don't have a say in it!" OOk. I thought. Then I talked to my brother about the issue and he started to get upset.... "If it's not done HIS way then I don't have an opinion on it!"
"Then do it his way."
"I can't because (I'm sleeping all day)".
"So, don't get angry about it."
"How? You can't do that unless your a mindless robot."
"Yes you can. Don't react to him."
................. He doesn't believe me.
I stepped inbetween an argument of two strangers a few weeks ago. It was a young man (older than me) and an old woman (deffinitely older than me). The young guy, I'll call him "Mullet" went right up to the old womans face, I'll call her "Witch", and shook his finger at her, yelling and cursing about her stealing something from him. I just stood afar listening. And Witch was suprizingly snapping back at him!! This little old lady... had a BIG additude problem. She seemed to think she was invincible by the choice of words she was using...
"I feel like quitting because of you, you old hag!!"
"Fine! Go ahead!"
Mullet kept walking away and then returning to her face a couple times and I was seriously getting concerned because when you point your finger RIGHT in another persons face... you're ready to hit them. So on his next walk away another woman, err... I'll call'er "biker chick", said to the man "Yeah, Just keep on walking buddy". Now this is the sort of thing that kept Mullet going right back to Witch! She would react to what he said, yell at him as he walks away, "oh no!" mullet thinks... "I'm getting the final word!" They both wanted to be right. And he was progressively getting more angry.
"Uh oh" I thought to my self... now I must say, I was extremely calm and focused durring the entire incident up to this point (and beyond). The whole situation was just silly. And I honestly felt they were both in the wrong. They were both extremely emotional - and now a bystanding woman has sided with the woman. Not that it's wrong of her to try and assist the supposed weaker one - sure physically, yes - but they were both reacting just the same. They were both wrong from my view. But now the man is being ganged up on and that could make'm feel even more angry... so I slowly walked over to Witch while I had the chance and told her calmly with my hands up... "Miss... please, stop. Just stop antaganizing him."
"He's crazy!" she said with a horrible face. In that moment it was as if I could see the real woman within her... I've seen her around before but I've never talked to her... she seemed nice... but in this moment... all that "niceness" was gone - just a face for everyone.
And I walked away. That's all I wanted to say to her and to show the man he was not alone. And they confronted no more durring the time I was there.
That's not a smart thing to do - what I did. If it were to young punks I wouldn't care. But it was different - it was an old woman and a young guy. They needed to stop. And as I watched it was as if I could see through it all. I've seen these arguments happen before in my own home. And I could understand EXACTLY where these two where coming from. So I handled it the way I have in my own home. But it seemed to have a bigger impact coming from a stranger. I hope those two are a-ok now.
Back to my job...
Everyday I come home and my hands smell like a mixture of meats and veggies... it's odd. I guess I could wear gloves. But, they're not the right type of gloves for cooking...
The next Elder Scrolls game is coming out this month! I can't wait to buy it. I'm a huge fan of The Elder Scrolls series.
Things in the play I may help compose a score for are progressing very quickly. It's quite amazing and I should be going to meet my fellow composers in person this week. The writer is producing very quality works very fast. He believes he is being inspired by God. Could be, but I think he's being inspired by scripture. Either case, I'm really getting excited about this. He has even offered to teach me some nice tips on playing guitar.
Ah! Even though I forgot to bring my notes of blog thoughts... I seemed to remember a lot from my major happenings the past few weeks.
