Okay, so I should make my first post
This is my first journal ever. The closest thing I've done to having a journal is just writing down my thoughts or making lists while at work. I found it to be satisfying and helped me organize my head. The lists were usually just thrown in the trash shortly after written. Still, it seemed to help my insomnia. I'm anxious to see if this has the same effect.
This seems strange to me...I really don't have any interest in other people's journals, especially total strangers. So the idea of people reading mine is a bit weird. Perhaps I'll have a better understanding of it later on.
What's on my mind right now? Fuck, I'm so obsessed with home theater. Everything has to be perfect. I'm researching all the gear I want so I'll be ready to make the purchases after I move. For speakers, I'm sold on Ascend Acoustics. I can't find a single bad thing about them. They're within my price range and sound fantastic. I went to Circuit City today to look at the Infocus X1a projector so I can see it in person. I'm still not 100% sure about a projector. Bulb costs. Screen costs. It all adds up. I could have a smaller plasma or a really nice rear projection tv for the same price. But plasma's don't last forever and rear projection tv's have the same amount of maintanence that a projector would. My main concern about the particular projector I'm looking at is DLP. The colorwheel sometimes causes a rainbow effect. If it's too distracting it may not be worth it. But a definate pro is the big screen. Mine would be no less than 100" diagonal in 16:9. You just can't buy tv's like that.
What's on my mind part 2? I need to let Jen off gently. I have no interest in her. Something about her is turning me off and I can't put my finger on it. Anyway, it just won't work.
What's on my mind part 3? I need to do better at work. I'm starting to get too comfortable and lazy. I have to begin scoring and studying for my registry exam. Afterall, this place gives incentive. I'm so happy to be working at this job and feel lucky to have it. I need to remind myself that just a few months ago I was on unemployment, and it could happen again. Gotta do better work and make myself a more valuable asset.
I did a credit check yesterday to see where I stand. Very interesting. I'm in a good financial situation right now so I need to take advantage of it and pay off my old debts so when I move I'll be back to zero..also, I probably need to fix up my credit report in case my next landlord considers me high risk. Either way, it feels good to pay this stuff off.
For my mood I chose numb, because I feel that way often. Maybe there was a better choice on there. I just have a hard time feeling joy. I have to constantly remind myself how lucky I am. Probably a lot of factors causing this...my bet is Seasonal Affective Disorder, not to mention my history of depression. When Spring comes and there's more daylight I'm sure I'll feel better. It makes me really happy being outside in the sun with my iguana, letting him soak up some UVA. I also like being outside detailing my car. I can't wait until I'm in my own house and can just do things like that in my own driveway. I think I'd take pleasure in things as simple as grabbing a broom and sweeping the front porch. Another thing that will make me happy is when the gym opens up. I'll finally have something to do at night, not to mention the good exercise which is a natural mood enhancer. Right now the only thing that makes me feel actual joy is watching Family Guy on Adult Swim.
For music you see I entered Carcass...this is an old cd, probably about 10 years. I remember the day I bought it. I was at Oak Park Mall with Brian and thought it looked interesting. I had never heard Carcass before. Back then I was buying cd's purely on instinct, and ended up wasting a lot of money. Brian liked it but I didn't. Probably from years of playing guitar I really started to love that cd. I love how the guitars sound, and the tone. I love the riffs and the layering. I wish I could play like that. It's definately not grindcore like they used to be. This cd is unique and hasn't left my car stereo for about a month.
Well, that's all for now. I think that's a good start for my journal.
