So...again
Yeah at work again, putting my two weeks in as of next week. I don't have another job lined up yet but I do have my resume on Monster.com and have been offered a job in Raynham. I'm going to look into possibly getting a job at TFCU (Taunton Federal Credit Union) a.k.a. The Bank, they're looking for a full time teller. I'm not the greatest in math but I know how to use a calculator and I've seen them use those several times so I should be good.
Well other than work I'm doing pretty good. I stopped looking for a relationship now and one sort of found me. There's a guy who I've been talking to for about two weeks now who really likes me and I really like him BUT (there's always one of these, generally not where I want it) he lives across the country in sunny California. So in a sense I find myself once again being screwed, and not the way I'd like to be I might add, by the little bastard known as Cupid. Although he does promise if anything does happen, i.e. we decide we'd like to become a couple, he will come up and visit often and I told him I'd do the same permitting my parents are okay with it. I don't expect them to be so I'm going to have him come up here a few times first and just go from there. If anything happens that is so we'll see. Incidentally, his name is Buck.
I got a few movies in the mail the other day, well two movies and a CD. I watched one of them, The Broken Hearts Club, which is about a group of gay friends who deal with life and with being gay. I saw it a long time ago when I first came out, or was coming out I should say, and I loved it. But because I was still in the closet and didn't want anyone to know I quickly got rid of my copy and went on with life. Well since I am now officially out I figured there is no shame to owning this movie so I bought it again. And boy, now that I've been out I see this movie in a whole new light. Everything the characters in this movie go through, I've been through, relationship troubles, death, questioning life, all except having a friend nearly OD which I'm expecting I will have to go through at some point in time. The movie has several different characters all having something that represents a problem every gay man will go through or has gone through. So even though I loved it before, I adore it now.
I also got a movie called Latter Days which is about a Mormon who moves to California with his Mormon brothers and discovers he's gay when he meets up with the local gay hot shot. As you may or may not know being gay and a Mormon is, well it's just not possible. You can be Mormon and gay but if anyone were to find out - you'd have to ace the Mormon part. They excommunicate anyone who is confirmed to be a homosexual and ban them from their church. Now I don't know about you but I don't see a religion that actually bans people because of their differences as being a good thing. God made people different for a reason and regardless if being gay is right or wrong, when in reality there IS no right or wrong, being banned from a church because of it is just ridiculous. It really makes me question some people's beliefs and their understanding of how life should be. I'd actually like to point something out, life shouldn't be anything - life is what you make of it there is no written text that describes exactly how your life should be and there never will be. Unless of course some day the Mormon religion takes over then there is a great possibility that everyone's life will be pretty much the same. So let's hope that it never happens and if it does happen I'll be long gone.
Anyways, I finally saw Boogeyman last night and as expected, I loved it. Generally when most people say a movie is bad, I find myself enjoying the hell out of thus being the case of Boogeyman. Something that could've been a total disaster turned into what I think is a very solid horror film. The quick cuts and sliding camera movements were slick and creative, the atmosphere was thick and the scares were unexpected. I actually almost jumped a few times! There was one plot twist I did see coming but that didn't harm the film at all, it was so expected and obvious that it didn't matter. One twist I did not expect was the movie was actually about a physical Boogeyman and not just some figment of the character's imagination. I was expecting the movie to end with him realizing he's been killing everybody or something like him waking up in a mental hospital but I was shocked to see that the Boogeyman in the movie was a real essence that he needed to stop in order to be at peace. We're in a day and age where things like this don't happen often. The usual twist ending involving a character realizing they have been dead the whole time, or that the entire movie was actually in their head is getting to the point where it's expected. It's not a twist anymore. The real twist in this movie was to actually see that the Boogeyman was very real and really was killing people off by dragging them into closet world. Okay, it's not actually called that in the movie, it's never given a name - but that's what I'm calling it and that's that. All in all I was pleasantly surprised but it and plan on purchasing it sometime in the near future.
So other than that, there's nothing really to discuss. Life is good. Work sucks. I miss my friends and that about sums it up. I don't go out much anymore and this needs to change, I used to go out almost every night and now I'm lucky if I go out once a week, hell once a month. I'm not saying people should just drop what they're doing to hang out with me but a phonecall once and a while would be nice. Something along the lines of, "Hey what are you doing tonight? Or after work? Want to hang out or something?". I don't think that's asking too much of my friends, is it? Oh well, later peeps.
