Clinging onto life by the skin of my teeth.
God damn, it's been nearly a month since I've updated, and even then it's been nearly two or three since there's been an update with any depth to it. I guess it's time I corrected that. Still though, there's not very much to write about. Guess I'll use the topic format I have before on several occasions.
Work
Work has been... interesting, to say the least. I'm making the same money at SC now that I did at ACS, so that's good, hopefully it will increase by a few more dollars in a week or so. It's actually alot more relaxed, especially when I consider that the possibility of termination isn't looming over my head (like it did for my whole career at ACS.) I was working with Drew for a while, sadly he fucked around far too often and ended up getting canned. I guess that works out for the best though, despite the loneliness that goes along with sitting by yourself for eight hours, I'm able to get a great deal of more work done, which in the end equals a much larger paycheck. Still though, there's a storm over the horizon, they're getting rid of my current shift (second) and throwing us all into first. That creates a plethora of problems as far as my future plans are concerned. Not only will I have to take night classes now (which I don't even know will be available for the particular classes I'm taking, especially when you consider what I'm heading towards is usually done by full-time students) but it's also a SUPER early shift, so if I want to get my current seat AND a parking spot, I have to come in at 6:00AM which is really fucking shitty. I guess that's leaves more time for classes later in the day though. There's also some fruity woman who keeps bugging me, she's practically the exact opposite of what I'd be looking for in someone of the opposite gender; anyone who says Megadeth just isn't them has no place in my life.
Home
It's still as boring as usual, although it gets a tad more exciting with the prospects of having a relatively new pick-up truck in the affordable range. Of course, there are quite a few of strange things occurring as well. I find myself becoming bored with the internet, to the point where, unlike in the past where I'd just wait it out by staring blankly into the wall, I'd rather get up and go sit outside or something. I've also taken a strange interest in getting in shape, which is peculiar because I've never given a shit about that sort of thing. I hardly ever play my consoles anymore, which could just be due to me having no place to set up my TV and everything. The genuine interest in gaming is still there, I just feel no real motivation to go out and pick up DMC3, MGS3, or AC5. It's strange, because I was enthralled as Drew retold of his exploits in them. From the corpse-sliding to the growls of the legendary Ocelot, I could do nothing but sit and listen with a massive grin across my face; shitty, that. I also reactivated my WoW account, but I've had no interest in playing that either. Perhaps I'm maturing or something as stupid as that. I've always been of the firm belief that as an adult I would enjoy the same things I always have. Hell, I've always considered myself to be an adult, maybe I'm not. Fuck that, I say.
I've had a real hankering for a capable guitar as of late, I guess it's been that way for a year or so now. I have trouble wanting to spend that much though, it'd be nearly $500 for an entire setup, and that's a good portion of a down-payment for a truck. I'm terribly confused as to what I want to do with my money, I don't want to save, that's for sure, I never have.
Music
Same stuff that I have for a year or so now. That, and then there's Megadeth. They were one of those bands that I've liked since, hell, I don't know how long. There aren't many of those, I wasn't exposed to very much music way back then. Aside from the glam-metal my mom liked and Kris-Kross (or however you spelled it) there wasn't much to listen to. It was my step-dad's brother that really got me into music. He was a metalhead of sorts, he also enjoyed other styles (Coolio and Shaggy, yeah, they suck, I know) but metal was the big thing. He was also who first got me into Metallica, he let me borrow Master of Puppets and And Justice For All. Those two bands have stayed with me ever since, along with Transformers and that sort of thing. He probably had some Maiden or Priest, but I never caught any of them from him, that was a few years ago. The Transformers Movie should have had Megadeth on the album, that would have rocked. Hot-rod and Cupp should have been bashing Gator-bots to the beat of Psychotron. Meh, I'm drifting.
Hrm, I can't think of anything else to babble about.
Over.
