In a mixture of horrid outwardly depression and excellent fortune, I have not only gotten but installed my copy of Windows 7 Ultimate on my computer! It seems pretty damn sweet so far, the only drawback being that it was a clean install. Therefore I have to reinstall my messengers, Warcraft, Vent, my Zune software, etc. and so on. It'll be a little tedious, but I'll get to it. I'm just glad that the damned deed is done, and that so far it's getting a continuously excellent reception, save for the jealous douchebag Mac commercials. I get the feeling that's basically what it is, because usually in their "I'm a Mac/I'm a PC" commercials, they try to point out the major features Macs allegedly have over Windows. This time just seemed like a bunch of jealous assholes...so yeah, fuck Mac even more now.
So this week has been kind of a sexual experience. Not that I HAD sex; just it's gone up and down in its own respects. The "down" part mainly has to do with Algebra, and the fact that while I got my performance review at work, it was basically a fucking pat on the back; no real raise to speak of. Now, that's not just me...that's everyone, but that doesn't exactly make me feel much better. Plus I'm finding out that planograms seem to be my main fuckin' calling nowadays. Not quite sure why this is, but you can imagine that I only accentuate the positive, which is that man...it sure as shit makes the day go by a LOT quicker. That's something I'd like to apply to the coming week, namely because of the school aspect. Granted, I DID get what equates to a 93 on my last exam, Algebra still pisses me off to extents the likes of which you wouldn't believe. I also expect to get my Western Civ midterm back (which I think I did good on). That becomes the problem in that I gotta read another fucking book, and this time I REALLY don't wanna read it. It sounds kinda emo...all "abyssmal" this and "darkness" that, so you can tell I don't want to read this bullshit. You can bet I'm eternally waiting until this damn semester is done and over with. Six more weeks.
Work still sucks, so onto karate. Still goin' damn good, and now I'm trying to help advertise for the school. I might have a few people from my job coming to enroll, but it's tough to say. I just know that it feels good to kinda do my part to help out. Not to mention the fact that the whole "going there" stays good. I just hope soon I'll be able to do more there, like take some of the classes not normally accessible to me because of my damned job. Personally, I think the next time a FAST defense class comes up (Fear Adrenal Stress Training), I'm gonna request off of work and give that a go. The CCW (concealed carry weapons) I'm thinking of doing too, but I'd feel better about it if I had a firearm for it. Then there's Force-on-Force...THAT sounds like an asston of fun. The whole atmosphere is a hell of a lot of fun, which is why I constantly encourage everyone to take a martial art.
Beyond that, it's been kind of a mediocre existence. The Eagles roflstomped the Giants, but the Phillies fucking failed it up again, giving the Spankees a 3-1 series lead. We now have to win the next 3 games to take the series, and I frankly don't think that'll happen. I'm not quire sure what the fuck it is, but it seems whenever I show interest in a team, they start doing horribly. In fact, I bet the reason Philly won the World Series last year is because I still was out of interest with baseball. It just goes to show you that it eternally sucks to be me. On the bright side, I get paid this week and I'll probably be investing in some new headphones because these Skullcandy ones are shitty and have about had it. Incidentally, I have to remember to play the lottery more often; it's the most farfetched, but the easiest road out of this impoverished shithole of a life-cycle.
Anyway, that's probably all the useful information you'll get out of my this time. I won't bother to tell you about my Halloween in great depth because I worked, didn't dress up, but had a great idea for next year. If I'm still at my job, I'm dressing up as an Office Depot employee to fuck with the customers as a means of payback for when they think they're at Office Depot. Fucking idiots. Mikey's thinking of going as a vampire with a sign that says "support REAL vampires; boycott Twilight." which I think is pretty much a great idea, especially considering New Moon is about to come out in theaters, just furthering the emphasis on what a fucking disgraceful writer can do with the proper connections. That's another very long rant for another time. I'm just gonna switch the focus to the last reason for depression: Daylight Spendings has descended upon this land! Once more we trade our daily chronological freedom for the illusion of getting one hour of extra sleep for one night. A sham I say! Well folks, I'm gonna head off but I'll see you guys next week. Hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween! In mine, my overweight brother was the only one who got candy - ours!
