(no subject)
Ya so its been a lil while since Ive opened this thing and put some substance on paper...or the internet, or whatever. So I am leaving tomorrow for spring break. I am headed on a cruise to Cozumel and Grand Caymen. Im excited to spend time with the brothers and my favorite ladies. I think this is something i need. Not only has my mind been wondering too much about things that will just increase my stress level, but Mark Lippman (my old boss and mentor) told me that i need to take some time to myself before I start school. I have been trying to read a lot more as opposed to watching tv and I think that is the best thing I can do for now. But as i was saying, This trip is much needed. I have been getting overly frustrated with some people at work and I just need some time away. This week has been hard in the sense that I miss Rach so much. She knows cuz I leave her messages on her im and I am at the point where I think I may either fly up to see her or fly her in. I cant do it during her spring break because work will be rough for me. But if she is reading this, I hope she knows how much I miss her. Nevertheless, I still believe in fate and fate will continue to watch and guide me.
In other news, I took my car into Nissan today and I want to preface by saying that the automotive industry is the most crooked industry ever. They can charge you what they want and even more if you dont know anything about fixing a car. Thats where I (and 70% of the rest of the population falls) find myself today. I took a new strategy while at Nissan and decided to befriend the car care guy and the technician. After talking to these guys for a few hours I ended up getting a 60.00 discount and a preferred customer card. It still came to about 200 dollars but I think thats reasonable when he didnt charge me for an oil change and just to fix my brakes. I know (from the little car knowledge i have) that brakes can be expensive. I can correlate auto repair men with computer stoor guys. You go to buy a computer and its on sale and it looks all good cuz its got what you want, but they tell you that its out of date and worhtless now. Then they upsell you to the one that is triple the price and try to sucker you in because you dont know any different. Fortunate for me, I am not a victim of that. Anyway, I have been thinking about a lot about possibly making amends with people from my past that I have held a grudge for long enough. I am somewhat stubborn and have started to chip away at that area of my life. Thus far, I have mended some areas of my life, but I think it wouldnt be in my best interest to leave for law school without leaving with a clean conscience. I am the type of person who sticks to his ways because I feel I am in the right. I dunno. I suppose I will have to look at the issues on a case by case basis.
I suppose that this is my final goodbye until i get back from the cruise, and hopefully, with good pictures along with it.
Oh, before I forget, about my last entry....I am not gonna get upset or angry about things like that because when people question there friendship, they are not worth your time. I am not going to call out the person I am referring to, but I wont miss her (simply because of this situation) and I am sorry I wasted my time feeling guilty. That was a moot point. With that said, Aloha! I mean...Adios..yea, spanish, thats what they speak in Cozumel. My bad.
