A little rant here, a little rant there
Thursday, October 1st, 2009Ah, today was actually the first day in a while that hasn’t been cloudy, well fully cloudy. It was fairly enjoyable except the fact that Blacksburg, Virginia chooses weather like a two year old chooses what toy to show you in it’s toy box. Lost my train of thought, oh yes, last weekend was nice. A wedding is always nice to go to, a celebration of two people’s love and commitment to one another. It’s a beautiful sight if genuine. You definitely knew it wasn’t a Catholic wedding because it didn’t last for 2 hours and there was only twice you had to stand up. During the wedding I got to speak to one of my favorite, if not the favorite, teacher I had in high school. It was nice talking to him once again. Also, Saturday night was incredible. I got to be with Michele the whole night which may not seem that great in words, but the fact of just being with her overnight was gratifying. But now, I’ve been knocked down from my wonderful cloud to the reality that is work and school. The work piled on me from the start, not as bad as the week before, but definitely tiring. This weekend I have to work 28 hours, nice paycheck…about $203, not bad, now if you can do math you can figure out minimum wage. You’d think a job like this would pay more, potentially life threatening situations, managing time and clients, problem solving, heavy labor, and maybe some unhealthy places…to top that off, apparently Tech is so old (I knew that already so don’t start spitting Hokie facts at me, I know them already) that they still use asbestos flooring…as long as the flooring doesn’t chip and become air-borne I guess we’ll be fine.
Anyways, that’s my life in a nutshell…well on that topic, why do they say nutshell? I mean yeah, it’s a cramped space, why not say my life in a sugar cube? Or my life in a pistacio shell, that’s by far smaller……where was I. Oh yeah, okay so I saw a commercial for Degrassi and realized how much I hate crap like that (sorry to all the fans out there). Really though? Do people enjoy watching drama? Or do they like seeing people with drama because they lack it? Who wants drama in their life? Not me, screw that. I prefer my cold, tearless life please (pessimistic? No). Not cold in no emotion, you forget I am engaged and tearless in that I’m glad I don’t have to cry every night because someone hurt my feelings….but then again, I never cried over that, I just got mad and get tougher, childhood problems I guess, I don’t know, something to tell a psych…and no I can’t have Michele analyze me, although I’m pretty sure that boundary has already been passed.
On other news, I’m reconnecting to my childhood friend. From what I’ve been told we knew each other since we were both in diapers. Which is very special. Haven’t talked to him except now in 10 years or so. Yeah, I have a lot of memories with him, my brother, and his sister. I think it’s interesting to see how people you haven’t talked to in a while have been doing. Although my 10 year high school reunion isn’t until 2017…7 more years. I wonder how some of them are? I mean I’m talking to a few but like some that I lost touch with or never had touch with…that another thing, “keep in touch”? So would you go up to someone and touch them and say “I did my part,” and walk away…sorry….anyways, I was the outcast crowd, I guess is what people said…but then again, those guys were fairly popular with everyone, the clique lines were very blurred in my high school, everyone kind of knew everyone and we just chilled.
Well the new story I’ve been working on has come to a little stand-still…much like all my other writings, but this was because of increased work-load. I will finish this story though! Visit my blog site and look for Spirit of the Dragon to read the first unedited chapter and tell me what you think. The address is http://edenlancer.wayneconcepts.com/ thanks guys.
Anyways, I’m neglecting to do my work…I have three chapters to read and tomorrow I’ll be in the studio doing elevation plans. This hasn’t exactly been my best rant, but I’ll get back into it, I promise. Thanks everyone for reading.
