My alter ego couldn't take it anymore. He's been KO'd. Now it's up to me. The question to ask is, How much shit would a shitstorm sling, if a shitstorm could sling shit? The answer? A lot. The first blow came when the job was lost yesterday. That's a shot right to the gut. The second blow came when the motor started to sputter on...

I don't know exactly what happened. I was doing well, getting along with everyone and learning my job pretty quickly, given their lax definition of "training." Then yesterday about 4:30pm, I got a call from my temp agency contact asking me to come to her office. I got the okay from the boss guy Patrick that I could go, and so I went. My spidey...

Today is supposedly the day that Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories hits PS2's. I'm going to foolishly spend 10 bucks on that instead of gas at Blockbuster. Must. Have. GTA.

Edit: I lost my job today. Ambushed. FUCK.

There is a new trend that just makes me want to stab people in the eye with a rusty fork.

"Tomkat/Tomkitten."
"Brangelina."
"K-Fed."

'Nuff said.

I love Sundays. So much time to be so damn lazy. But I like to keep busy, oh yes.

Today I will:
-Take over NYC (The Godfather videogame, ps2)
-Read a couple of chapters in my Sociology book to catch up on the reading I'm behind on.
-Write a couple pages on my final paper for Sociology.
-Patrol Paragon City as Lawkeeper (City of Heroes,...

Getting a job has really taught me to enjoy the weekends. I'm sitting here on top of not one, but two lazy days that I can do whatever I want.

My paycheck was pretty good for only a two and a half day pay period from my first week. And with this coming paycheck, I'll be finished paying off my most insistent debt. This makes...

I get paid today. First paycheck in almost two years. 2004 was the last time I got a paycheck that wasn't just cash from my dad. It's an incredible feeling. I'm going to be able to start making things right for the people I owe money to. I forgot how damn good this felt. I was in such a pit of despair even a month...

I was supposed to do stuff with Kari after work today, but now it looks like we won't be able to because she has to go to a lecture she had forgotten about. I'm disappointed.

In better news, tomorrow's my first paycheck. I'm so excited! I'll have enough to make positive my totally overdrawn bank account and maybe even enough for gas so I can...

Still enjoying my new job. I don't think the mortgage business is that fascinating, but I love having to learn everything at a fast pace. If you give me a job where I'm constantly learning and being driven to new challenges every single day, I'm completely in love with it. And there are a lot of things being thrown at me during the training for...

I'm very touched by the kindness of people, both friends and strangers. People that read my journal know that I've been having a very trying time with my home life. My dad has chosen a woman he's known for barely a year or two over me in who he'd rather have in his life. The fact that it's time for me to go out and...

Salome's set went up. She is so incredibly adorable, and a real sweetheart too.

Second week of my new job. I woke up today and I was really happy that I have somewhere to go and something to do.

Last night I went to see Firewall, with Harrison Ford. It was a good movie, but right afterward, the button on my favorite jacket broke....

I dreamed it was doomsday last night. It was a very weird dream. I for some reason had visions of the future, but they weren't consistent. It was like I wasn't seeing the one future that was, I was seeing all the possible futures, based on the actions of people when the big doomsday event hit. Toward the end of the dream, the forces of...
