Right. I’m not sure how long this is going to be. There are lots of things on my mind, as usual (I guess) and I’m not sure what all I’m going to cover tonight…
Umm, work is still good at Company X. I’m going to be making a lot more money it seems. I talked to Jeffrey and he is going to give me a way more volume. More volume = more monies in my pocket, so…yay!
I had an exam in one of my classes tonight. The Dr. who is teaching the class is a bit of a control freak. We have a seating chart and during exams he makes us put everything we have with us up in the front of the room. Bags/coats/books/purses/etc. Mind you, I’m a junior at university. I think during the next exam I’m just going to walk to the front of the room and remove my clothes and throw them on the pile.
Cloverfield. Loved it. “Help us. It’s still alive”?
Oh, I was at one of my customers today and there was a woman in there who was doling out political advice to anyone within earshot. “I’ll tell you why I’m not voting for Hillary: I don’t think a woman should have control over the military.” Interesting. This piqued my interest so I decided to eavesdrop a bit and see what else she would reveal. “I’m a christian”, (red flag goes up and I immediately discount all political-talk from her), “and I go to World Harvest.” World Harvest is a crazy church, borderline cult, in my opinion. Anyway, after hearing where she attends service, it was no surprise a few minutes later when she begins preaching of the glorious virtues of one Mike Huckabee.
I wonder if she knows the Huckster said this during 1998 at the Southern Baptist Convention, “A wife is to submit graciously to the servant leadership of her husband.”
I fear for what might be.
On politics

Whilst im’ing with my brother earlier, he mentioned something about Chuck Norris saying McCain was too old to be president, to which McCain quipped: “I’m going to send my 95 year old mother over there and wash his mouth out with soap.” I’ll be honest, I laughed. I’m not sure if it was because of McCain’s comments or the fact that Chuck Norris is actually campaigning for Huckabee.
Anyway, this little back and forth between The Chuck and John McCain made me think about all of the top-tier candidates, and how all but one of them scares me in one way or another…
Huckabee scares me because he has the jesus.
McCain scares me because years as a pow has made him bat-shit crazy.
Romney scares me because he is Corporate America.
Clinton scares me for the obvious reasons.
Edwards scares me because of his union support.
The only top-tier candidate who doesn’t scare me is Obama, the muslim(?), the one everyone is supposed to be scared of.
Know your role.

On the way to a fantastic sushi dinner the other night, my friend begins railing against the Republican party in general, and W. specifically. This is nothing new from my friend, and I’ve been listening to it for over 6 years now. Sometimes I’ll give him a hard time and sometimes I’ll just turn up the radio and let him rant. I felt like giving him a hard time this time around.
Me: “Can I ask you a few questions?”
Him: “Of course.”
“Do you think government should be larger or smaller?”
“Smaller.”
“Do you think people should be able to own any firearm that they choose, within reason?”
“Yes.”
“Do you support lower taxes?”
“Yes.”
“Do you support abortion?”
“Not really.”
I just rolled my eyes and continued. I also called him Mr. Reagan for the rest of the evening. He wasn’t amused.
The ramblings

Gah…I’m antsy. I shouldn’t have drunk that Monster earlier. I’m not sure what is wrong with me. My whole body becomes restless and I can feel tension in my lower back and it drives me fucking insane. I can’t sit still. I decided to make stir-fry at 1030pm. My chair in uncomfortable and I’m feeling very confrontational. I think I’m going to fight my chair.
My new glasses should be here the first of next week. Gogogo.
Work is going okay. Better actually. I was losing focus after my accident and really lost all interest for a while. I’ve started bringing paperwork home with me again. It helps me focus on what I need to accomplish and set clear goals for the next day. I’m finally starting to formulate plans that will ensure my success as long as I stay on at Company X, whether its one year or fifty. Who knows? I know I want to trounce bitches on the peak and I’m going to talk with Jeffrey about how I can go about this in the coming weeks. Also, I need to talk to Craigor about Jr. getting on. He’s good people.
The boys are good. I need to learn to be more calm and patient with them. Also, I forget how young they are sometimes! I talk to them like they are 20-somethings like me, and not as well-versed as I am about life on the streets. I’m going to start on this tomorrow as well.
I heard today that W. is going to announce some sort of economic stimulus plan in the coming days. Some say we may get an $800 check. I don’t know if I’ll use mine to pay down debt, (which is tremendous) or buy something shiny. Do I need something shiny? I dunno. Probably not.
I wish I were done with school. Balancing a demanding job/school/and family is killing me.
I need drugs.
