Back again... again.

NOTE BEFORE YOU READ!
Blogger has added a comments engine to the system. I have enabled it, and if you comment, please comment by clicked the New Comments button. The old comments i will leave in, but try to remember not to use the old comment system.

If you click it and have problems, use the old system till i get the new one working.


Ok folks, its been a long time since i've been motivated to post, so here we go:


My xbox is now modded to do all sorts of cool stuff. I can install computer games, xbox games, burn dvds ontoit, pretty much whatever i want. very sexy. I spent five hours playing Final Fantasy II on it. sweet, sweet system. Unfortunately, its still on lease to kyle, and i need to get it back to him. Which is not a problem... except if he leaves it unplugged for too long, it'll die on him, and have to bring it back here to be set up again.


My job at kohls died when the manager realized what a shit position it was. We discussed it, and terminated the role of credit greeter. it was a bad idea.

Life at home is good. No problems there.


Been getting real close to Matt as of late, he's a good guy. Fun to hang out with, always has something worth listening to to say, and always has a place to sleep. He lives in the city with his mom, dad, and brother (Marcus) who are all freakin awesome people and i love spending time with them. Its about time i threw a good new freind in the mix, things were getting pretty status-quo. Kyle gets along with him fine, and we all go out and have alot of fun. Its pretty cool.


What else... what else...

DDR Tourny monday. Dunno how that'll go. I'm much better than when i mentioned DDR last... A's and AA's on 9 footers. Do well in the tourny? Well if i can bust out my Holic 3x... maybe. Or Paranoia 2x. woooo.


I have wireless internet downstairs now, cheap and works really well. Blazing speed. Its great because now i'm online constantly instead of just consistenty. heh.

Thats all for now. more later.

To Be

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die, to sleep--
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to--'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished: to die, to sleep.
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of disprized love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would these fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn away
And lose the name of action.

ok, time to update the world.


DAILY LIFE:

Sucks, but eh. had some fun during the past week working on my kendo technique with this guy at the mall who runs a kendo studio. I get free lessons, which is cool. If we weren't friends, i'd be paying $120 a month for them. heh heh. DDR is getting better, and progress is being made towards getting an aparment with the guys. That'll work out in august, i hope.

WORK:
Kohls is already shoveling out the hours for me. This week is slow, only 20 1/2 hours, but next week i have 33. So in the next two weeks, not counting commission and suctracting taxes, i'll make about $250. With com.... i'm not sure, but with a low of five sales per day i'll make an extra 45. so almost $300, which is enough to pay my dad back. After that, kyle gets dinner at red lobster. Then, i buy a metal DDR pad. Then, car, then apartment.

IRONIC STUFF:
In a story i just read (excellent story, btw) one of the main protagonist's name is Joseph Hoffman. Sorry, only one N.
