well it turns out i probably wont be able to go to seattle afterall. i cant find any decent airfare prices on ANY website. it is ridiculous how much they charge for flights. how do they expect a part time working guy like myself to afford it? the only way i can go, is if a miracle happens which wont so im pretty much screwed. if i dont go, i might see my brother for the weekend.
i am so determined to go back to school its unreal. all of a sudden, something inside me said "do it! it really isnt hard, but that you're just a lazy ass" ive called one school so far and got a few questions answered and im gonna go out after work tomorrow and get more information from another one. its just a matter of getting off my butt and going out to do things so i can get my life back on track. its so simple, but i make it out to be this huge task that takes so much effort, but really what else have i got to do. this is the beginning of my life we're talking about. and i think how my dad would be pushing me to go and he would be really upset at me for taking so much time off. im only getting older and the longer i wait, the worse itll get so no more of that. its a brand new me and i hope it stays for good. |

hello livejournalers! i haven't written in here in like 6 months....ok recap of what's been going on in my life.
i've been at starbucks now for over a year and i love it. it's probably the best job i've ever had. i lost my benefits for awhile because of the lack of hours i was getting, but now all i do is work so i think i'll be getting them back soon.
uhhh, yeah not a whole lot. been chillin. i really miss going to school. i feel like a loser when everyone asks me what school i go to and i tell them i'm not going and explain why, but i think why i add on the explanation of why i don't go anymore is because i want people to know that it's a real valid excuse being that it was about my dad, but also that it's because i know i can get away with using it so much but after awhile, it gets old and it's been almost 2 years since my dad passed away....i still can't believe it. i tell myself i need to look and i need to do this and that and so on, but yet i'm so comfortable in my life right now and i'm afraid of change, yet you have to change to move on... ahh i don't know. just venting outloud. it's frustrating at times. i feel like i'm stagnant in my life and everyone around me is successful. it's been 5 years since i've graduated highschool(god damn i'm old!) and already the people i graduated with are married and even have kids.
oh yeah, i got a new manager and hes pretty bad ass. he's 26 and really laid back. he was telling me his life story about how he used to be this overweight teenager who didn't know how to socialize with people, so the only way to fit in was to sell coccaine on the streets, which led him to jail and then one day he decided to move and get his life straight, so he wrote a book about it and he's been sober 3 years now. pretty crazy huh.
i'm supposed to be going to seattle for my cousin's 1st bday, but if i don't find a cheap airfare, which btw seems impossible, then that sucks. i'm thinking about changing the dates around. it's stupid. if you book your flight for a tuesday or wednesday, it's cheaper, but any other day and you're screwed. any way for them an extra buck.
ok well this turned out a bit longer than expected. i won't bore the 2 people(if i'm lucky) that read this. more later...if i remember.
oh and i wanted to say one more thing....
i wish i could be as cool as erin because shes so awesome.. but i fail miserably.... starbucks rules. blah blah! |

i was at walmart today with my mom and we ran into jen's mom and a few days ago it was jen's bday and she said they were going out for her bday dinner. my mom mentioned her age, which i thought was 23. come to found out that she
she's really 28 and she's been lying to me the entire time i've known her. she was afraid that if she told me how old she was, i wouldn't want to hang out with her. why would somebody lie like that? i feel so fucking used. i've known her for 2 and a half years and i thought she was always honest with me. she seriously doesn't even look or act 28 either. i'm still in shock why someone would feel the need to do something like this? and it's not just one lie..she's lied about her parents ages and her sister and a lot of other things. i haven't told her yet that i know. this should be fun.. |

| | dont care | ] |
this was the worst week in my entire life.
i found out that my dad has cancer.
my mom was out of town so me and my brother[pretty much just me] had to take care of him
my dad got so bad, he went to the hospital
my dad came home last night from the hospital, only to go back early this morning because he was in horrible pain. he might be in there for a few days.
me and my brother went to pick my mom up from the airport tonight and i was sitting in the car waiting for my bro to look for my mom. some asshole cop knocked on my door and asked me to move. i told him i didnt know where to go because its been so many years since ive been to the airport. he said "here ill write it for you" as he wrote down my tag number and put a ticket on my windshield.
then he came back a few minutes later and said if i didnt move, he would ask me to get out of the car. by that time i was wishing i had a fucking gun to blow his head off.
so my bro comes back. it takes my mom an hour to get her luggage. in the meanwhile, we are circling the fucking airport like 15 times. she calls and says they lost her luggage. by this time im thinking what the hell else can go wrong? but she found it. wow one good thing happened. amazing.
well that about sums up my awesome life thus far. enjoy. |

hey folks. long time no write. i've got some new things to tell you. i applied about a week and a half ago to at least 5 veterinary hospitals and finally one called me back and set up an interview with me this past thursday morning. i went in and i think the interview went well because she told me she would like to set up two kennel interviews, basically training in the back, to see how well i work and then she will decide if she wants to hire me based on the opinions of the two kennel managers i would be working with. i was scheduled at 8am yesterday morning for one of the hospitals. i worked with a girl named katie and she basically showed me what she does. there was an older lady there named lola...no i'm not kidding about the name. she showed me how she gave the dogs a bath. i also got to scoop up poop! my dreams have come true. anyway i was there for a little over 2 hours. i have one more kennel interview/training on tuesday with a dr. bannister. i talked to him on the phone and he asked me to come in on tuesday at 7am. i feel so much better about things since i've applied. i've been getting 5-10 hours at work lately and i've just about given up on publix. i have no reason to be there anymore. i wanna start my career. the only bad thing about this job is i'd have to work on holidays, but you know i can't keep saying no. i have to take some risks. |

so im sitting here contemplating on what to write exactly. i went to the eye doctor yesterday and he said there was some pressure in my eyes, not too much, but since my dad has pre-glaucoma, he wants me to use eye drops for a little while just to make sure its nothing. i hope to god it isnt anything serious. im kinda glad i went yesterday otherwise i wouldve never known about it. i couldve been blind at 40 years old. what a scary thought.
i wish livejournal was like that talking speech to text thing on some computers. it takes forever to type things sometimes and itd be so much easier and faster to say everything thats going on in my life and in my head.
memorial day wasnt quite as what i expected it to be. my mom was mad at me anyway and decided to stop talking to me, then started to yell at me and then went in my brothers room and yelled at him. he got so angry, he put his fist in the wall 5 times. he was screaming in agony from all the pain. i was supposed to work that night 6:30-11:30, but i called out because his hand looked really bad. his knuckles were bleeding and his hand was so swollen. i figure family is so much more important than a dumb job, especially at a grocery store. we drove over to kennestone hospital and waited til they called him in, so my dad went with him and my mom and i waited for almost 2 hours til they came back out. he was wearing a sling and had a cast on. they said that he didnt break his hand nor did he fracture it, surprisingly as hard as he hit the wall.
that was about my week, thus far. tomorrow i go jet skiing for the first time. that should be fun. monday i go to white water if it doesnt rain. let the good times roll.
well, thats about all for now. time to relax and let the food i just ate sink in. |

well, i finally did it. i applied for financial aid this afternoon. i sat down with my dad and the tax return papers and finally filled everything out. now all i have to do is play the waiting game. i've been putting it off for quite some time now. i hope i get a letter back from them saying i got it. i don't see why not, but you never know. that'll help out a lot because i've had to watch my money because i'm not being scheduled that much at work and i've had bills to pay and i've spent too much out in the past. i've actually been pretty good with my money. the only thing i'll spend on is gas and really food here and there, and if i'm hanging out. i try to budget myself even more since i'm trying to plan a trip to destin, fl in september. jen's mom said we could use their condo, but she changed her mind thinking we're gonna mess it up, but her dad said we could stay at a holiday inn for free since he gets points or whatever. that's another thing i'm looking forward to.
it's such a beautiful day outside. i wish i didn't have to work. 3-10:30. i changed my availability now that i'm out of school until august. so that means the old days of closing are back. i can't really complain. i mean i need the money, so why bothering whining about it, you know?
tomorrow i'm hanging out with a buddy of mine, daniel. we're gonna go bowling. june 4th i'm gonna be going to white water with jen. i don't know what it is about that place, but i love it. i could stay there just about all day and ride all the rides. it's so fun. i love waterparks.
i should get ready for work now. i think i'm going to write like this in here from now on. it doesn't matter if anyone doesn't read/comment. it's mostly for me. time to make some money. later. |
