So... the new Audioslave album, eh? My verdict: Chris Cornell = teh suck, Tom Morello = a guitar god.
So this unemployment thing is sucking. I'm not used to having this much free time and I have no idea wtf to do with it. I went out yesterday with the intention of applying for work various places and then finding something to do. Applying for...

Is it possible to be an unemployed workaholic? Good luck finding a job -- I can't imagine it being to hard in Silver Spring.
Hrm... interesting fact. Asthma is a disqualification for service in the Army if you have a prescription inhaler. Fortunately I found that out from an Army recruiter, not a Coast Guard guy. Maybe I can lie to the Coast Guard guy if I end up deciding I want to do that, but save it as an excuse to dodge the draft or other unfavorable military...

Got fired. Whee! It's funny. I hated my old job so much, and did shit to piss people off actually HOPING I'd get fired so I'd have no reason to stay. I stayed there for over a year, and could probably walk in, ask for my job back and walk out employed again if I wanted to. Now that I had found a job I...

Yay! Internet's finally back. It was on the fritz for a week or so and would only let me load Google, if anything. Fucking Starpower is such a crap ISP.
Moving on... uhm... not much going on. Working. Squeezing in socialization when possible. Y'know... the usual.

thank you for your comments. my attitude has changed quite a bit since posting those entries. im not the one to kick the can around on shit for too long, a couple days maybe. but, yeah, things always work out the way theyre supposed to, and i need to learn how to accept these outcomes, regardless of whether or not its in my favor.
So I had a day off yesterday. I actually did something vaguely interesting with it, too. Holy shit. 
Star Wars: Good but not great. Vast improvement over the first two prequels, though.
Kingdom of Heaven: Excellent. Same stuff that made Gladiator great, but different enough that it's not just "Gladiator 2" or something.
Getting bored and walking to Rockville and back within 8 hours (slightly...

i greatly admire someone who spends quality time with themselves. it shows independence and a sense of self that few possess.

and by the way, are you on the myspace?
Been a while. How are all of you crazy people in SG land?
I actually felt kind of alive today. I spent most of yesterday sleeping, since it's the first day off I've had in a couple weeks. It was so weird... I had no idea what to do with myself since I didn't have to go to work. S'all good though. I like the...

Aaaagh! So dead/stressed!
So this Ranger Surplus job situation did not turn out favorably for me. I got the job, but it's definitely only part time until I'm done getting trained, and then I'm only going to get a full time position 1) if business warrants one becoming available, and 2) if the manager thinks I deserve it.
This sucks because I was trying to...

Yay! for finally breaking in these boots. They are super-comfy-like now. 
Driving is scary/fun. I'm finally getting around to learning the actual process of driving. Took the classes last year, but couldn't schedule in-cars till now because the people on the phone are stupid. It's kind of a bad thing to do right when you start, I suppose, but I had my first experience driving...

after many years of work, the simple pleasure of properly worn in docs is a reward i dont take for granted.
driving is good. driving means youre in control. control, really being in control, rarely occurs in life.

Breaking in Doc Martens is a bitch. Taking a break from wearing them to nurse the huge blister on the back of my ankle.
Also: Duct tape was always known to be ridiculously useful, but that truth has recently been expanded in my knowledge to include several medical purposes. Nifty.

Muahaha! I am ARMED! The steel toe boots have arrived! *excitement*
So, what's the first thing I did with them besides for the obligatory new shoe tests and such? Fiegn kicking Julio in the shin. He thought I was about to kick him in the nuts... he made the most amusing face, too. He actually SQUEEKED, mouthed "ooooh!", his eyes bugged out and he jumped...
