| Today I felt inspired to write something down that was non-business related. Normally I write my daily email rants that I send in w/ some of my work, but today I felt like just writing something somewhere. Maybe its the fact that I have a corporate job that I'm overqualified for, and I can get away w/ just "showing up". I don't feel like doing work today, & facebook gets boring after awhile. So does downloading new music once you have already got so much. Today I came in 1 hr & 45 min late, due in part to watching Batman Begins till 4am w/ a few friends who had never saw it.
Batman made me think of standing up for what you believe in VS just watching things & doing nothing about it. There is a small family owned Thai restaurant that I go to sometimes for lunch called Bai Fern, its excellent! They went on a wait today b/c it was so busy, so I just waited inside the restaurant as they made my take out order. As I waited at a table, I saw tons of typical upper/middle class white people who all thought they were the shit. I sat & watched as each of them talked to the workers as if they were stupid, complained about the most ridiculous things, & generally just very confrontational leaning towards the workers as if these suburbanites owned the place. I decided to stand up when one gentleman tried to leave w/o paying for his take out order. It was completely absurd! The man stormed in demanding his food be ready, he was told it would be ready in 35 minutes & it was exactly 35 min from when he called to place the order. They got the food out in about 37 min...As those 2 minutes passed all he did was hover over the cash register & eyeball ever worker that he could. Then he took his order & stormed out. The workers asked him if he had paid, & he responded "YES, 5.50! Bye". I had to step in b/c I watched the whole thing go down. I just responded very politely & let the man know that he did not pay. He accused me of being their hidden watch dog & a bunch of other BS. I just responded by saying, I'm just looking to do the right thing, if you had a conscience you would do the same.
It felt good to stand up for the little guy today.

| Hello Xanga...I have not seen u in awhile!
I live in Cincinnati now...ok, until next time!
| | |
| Wow its been about 8 months since I updated this thing! So things have
been pretty hectic lately, I'm somewhat bored but not sleepy so I
thought I would write in this thing...Funny how I stumbled back onto my
xanga, I worked w/ some pretty cool people at a Sprint promo but could
not remember any1 except 1 of the girls, so I googled her name &
found her xanga. I feel like such a stalker but since I am talking
about it then it is ok right? Well at least I didn't read it...
So this week has been a whirlwind of events which have all actually
been pretty negative experiences. But I feel free now. Having someone
quit on me, getting fired from my serving job, getting a bad case of
diarrhea/bloody nose/runny nose all at the same time, forgetting to
pack socks for the trip back to Canton, waking up 1 hr late to drive
from Columbus to Canton for day 1 of the Sprint promo, getting stood up
Friday night, having all my box demo's go horribly wrong, getting put
into collections somehow from a gas bill that recently got billed to a
house I lived in 2 years ago, ect
I am excited to go out on a new promo tour soon though! There is always
some silver lining in the dark clouds...I will be gone for up to 3
months touring different colleges & I'll make between $2-3k/wk, so
that will help out the pockets. If I do all 3 months I'll make around
$35k b/c I'll get bonuses & things like that. I also saw Poseidon
by myself at the dollar theatre here back in North Canton, which was
awesome b/c our dollar theatre is now 1 of the old "normal"
theatres...which means comfy seats!!!! The old dollar theatre sucked...
Ok, well enuf of my rambling, nobody probably even goes to this anymore
since it has been almost a yr since I last updated....if u do happen to
run across this lemme kno tho ^_^

| X-mas #1
So I am home, as soon as I come home I find I am going to be
celebrating X-mas multiple times this yr since the fam is not all
gettin together. So, for any of the ppl that I normally go to x-mas eve
mass w/, I do not get to go b/c another part of my fam has me
celebratin x-mas w/ them at that time.
Naruto is my newest addiction. I am going to catch up in no time!
I am excited for this weekend also tho. I am going to see my 1rst g/f
ever, whom I have not seen in at least 6 years, & have not actually
hung out w/ since back when I was a soph in high school, about 8 or 9
years ago...She has a kid now, so that will be an interesting twist
I should be excited for all the gifts & exchanging, but for some
reason I am more excited to ring in the new yr & start w/ a clean
slate. I am excited to work on my business on monday & really give
the 1 gift which ur typical x-mas gifts cannot give. That gift is the
gift of hope. Hope to realize that you are a fighter, that you DO have
a chance, that you have not reached ur potential but dammit u r goin to
reach it b/c the sky is the fukin limit!

Home
Current mood:  worried
Thanksgiving has been a painful reminder of how rough things are at the home front
1 - The family did not meet this year for Thanksgiving, due to
excessive fighting that has been going on for awhile now, but now my
aunt leaving my uncle to go to NY broke the straw on the camels back.
She came back, begged for forgiveness and her husband forgave her, but
half of the family did not. Now there is extreme seperation. Nobody met
for Thanksgiving, and us cousins did not even meet up at all. Not even
afterwards to do our traditional go see a movie, which we have done
ever since the oldest cousin started driving...that would be about 10
years now
2 - The whole time I've been home my mom has not been
able to hide her financial situation from me. I see hope being lost in
her eyes. She came into my room asking me about an overdraft in my bank
account, then I pointed out that the paper said First Merit, which is
her bank, and not Fifth Third, which is my bank. She looked at the
paper and walked away without saying anything. Then smoked a few
cigarettes in silence. She made 1 of my favorite soups for me, KimChi
soup, but this time it was just the KimChi and broth, no meats or other
extras. I realized she did not have the funds for those extras and that
is why they were all missing.
I see IXP as my 1 way out. It
can save me and my family, but then I self-mutilate myself because I
know I could be doing more and I am not doing it. This is my golden
ticket, my 1 chance. I must push forward | | |
