Fucking Bull shit

$927.ish sold tonight. and I made $25. fucking sweet.

Snow Patrol - Final Straw

Yeay Becca you're my favorite person to ever give me this CD. Thanks! Been listening to it non-stop pretty much.

So next week is going to be interesting. Monday I go to talk to people to find out who I need to go to to help me thru this depression thingy. also Monday is the last day that I help teach TKD with Mr. Phillips. Thursday I ask Mr.O if I can take over teaching the Friday class. (its patterns only day). and thats pretty much my week. I've been thinking about updating my resume and applying pleaces so I can quit Denny's and work during the day during the week and do TKD during the evenings. and then have weekends OFF! like a normal person.

OMG a weekend off. that would be insane. I'd feel like a normal human being. I havent had weekends off since I started at Denny's 3 years ago. OMG 3 years... thats WAY too long.

Also WTF?? they fire Chris after all the extra work he's done for them and all the time he's put into tha place, but they keep Brandon after all the shit he's pulled... I dont get it. oh well. Chris's soul is finally free. Fly away Chris Fly! *Phil runs around his room flapping his arms*

Ok I'm kinda sick, I think I *may* have taken 1 too many sinus pills for this massive headache. I dunno tho. not too worried about it, I have a big body, lots of room for drugs to flow around safely. Also I'm kinda hungry, and very cold.

Going to play WoW now. I'm on Thunderlord as Horde. Playing with Dan is fun. (He was an ESSAY at the big D a while ago too. I miss working with Dan. He owns my face.)

Ok, bye

Is it worth this?

Short answer no. Long answer yes.

It's now 4am and I can't sleep. I got home at about 2:30, read some blogs posted some messages, got to bed.. slept for maybe half an hour. If you can even call it sleep. then gave up and im not occupying my mind with WoW. This is horrible. I'm not even a little tired. I can't even make that camomile T dez gave me yesterday I'd wake up my mother and she has to work tomorrow at 8am. Sigh... Doctor appointment at 11:15 too. going to be exausted. Then oil changing with becca after 1pm. and after that I dont know. I wish I could hang out with that crazy wookie, I miss her so much but she is soooo busy.. front side back side... sooo gross. errr anyway she is crazy busy with school and Closer (which I cant wait to see) so I'll be patient and wait my turn.

On a side note... Everyone has AIDS! AIDS-AIDS-AIDS AIDS! hmm maybe thats what I'll watch. Team America: World Police... maybe not though. going to try for sleep again. and GO!

Oh how I love thee, Denny's

Ok. I'm far to tired to thing properly so im just going to say. $170.00 this weekend. Including thursday. **Fucking sweet** This is so needed it's not even funny. Also I ended up working 12 hours today (Sunday) and selling 1184.00 yeay me. sold over 1000 2 days in a row, and I only had to work splits... fuck splits splits fucking suck. you work just long enough to be tired, then you get just enough time off to *start* to relax then you have to work till you get tired again. THEN you start at 8am the next day only getting 4 hours of sleep, then you get off at 3:30pm and THEN you start at 9pm again and dont get off until just after 2am.... ok i have no idea whats going on anymore and I can't lift my head all the way up and I honestly just drooled on myself. good night

Ow...

My Ribs are so sore from the "Ice Hill of Death or at Least Injury" a.k.a. Rainbow Park, and I think I re-injured one of my leg muscles. It was just getting better too. I'd say what ahppened last night but I'm too lazy so go read this "http://dezdezdez.blogspot.com/" it's the post titled "Fuckin A" thanks for typing it for me Dez. Oh and I did win bowling. I had 116 and everyone else was under 100 :P pwned. (I wasnt really trying either haha)

Anyway time to go watch a movie with my sister. Ugh.. that means walking. god damn it.

Watch this NOW!

Hey, I'm reposting this because I'm kinda annoyed that only two people commented about this... If you don't have half an hour to watch it.. do it before you go to bed. But please tell me what you think. (Thank you Jen and Cole, I really appreciate you two commenting)

Songs that I sing at work to keep myself sane.

The Song That Never Ends.

This is The song that never ends.

Some people , started singing it not knowing what it was
and they'll continue singing it forever just because

How it Feels to be me.

I've felt darkness
closing in on me
Chilling shadows
surrounding me
I've had the poison
leak into my skin
And it corroded
my heart away
Bled away
Cut away
Dark night of my soul...

Such a meaningful song

Hahahahaha. Whoops!

I try to learn something new everyday. Being back in TKD and relearning everything makes this easy.

Today in TKD I learned a very good lesson.... Dodge or block. That was my lesson. Dodge or block.

The way I learned this lesson.... Mr.O kicked me in the side of the head so hard that I:

1. Am Very very sore.
2. Feel like I can't open my eye the whole way,
3. Got cut in a couple different places.
4. Bled from the afore mentioned cuts.



And the funniest part is. I THANKED HIM haha. I got a foot to the face and this is the conversation we had just after it happened

"OW!" - Me

"You ok?" - Him

"Ummm (feel my teeth to make sure they aren't loose) Yes sir." - Me

"Good, that'll teach to to keep your hands up." - Him

"Yes sir, thank-you sir." - Me

(Continue Sparring)



Went to denny's shortly afterward and used my glass of water as an Ice bag. Ate some food. and went back for another 2 hours. I love TKD. It keeps me happy. That and IBProfine

Hurray for Reachable Goals

We all have something we want to quit doing. Smokers usually want to quit smoking. Gamblers usually want to quit gambling... heh gam-bling... Anyway I have my thing.

My goal is to quit forever and never look back. This seems impossible when I think of it like that. So what did I do? I decided to break it down a bit. Instead of quitting forever, I've decided to quit for a week at a time, once that week is up, I'll continue to quit for another week.

Guess what, it's been working out brilliantly. I've barely wanted to, and I don't think I will want to this week either. It's been 16 days without it and I'm very happy with myself.

Something else that has helped a lot... Being back in Tae Kwon-Do. Not only do I get away from it more often but at the start of every class we all repeat the student Oath, which involves repeating the tenets of Tae Kwon-Do. These are: Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control, Indomitable Spirit. These have helped SO much.

Not so much Courtesy but the rest definitely,


Integrity - To know right from wrong and if wrong, to have the conscience to feel guilt. (don't lie)

Perseverance - Patience leads to virtue and merit; keep trying. (don't give up)

Self Control - The stronger person is the person who wins over oneself rather than someone else.

Indomitable Spirit - Standing by ones convictions even against overwhelming odds. (once I make up my mind to do something, nothing and no one will stop me. Ever.)

As long as I keep those 4 things in my mind whenever I'm tempted, and how much it means to myself that I do this... I'll never have a problem again.

Don't ask, I wont tell. If you think you can persuade me to talk, see "Indomitable Spirit"
