Stop Being Lazy and Grow Up!

I need to stop surrounding myself with these "losers." I have a few friends out there who just can't seem to get anything right. I have some folks who never show up to work or avoiding work or making excuses to not work. One that has been fired and feels absolutely fine collecting unemployment. Another who's been playing video and smoking weed living with the parents' basement after also getting fired from their job. I almost feel that because of having those friends that it's also affected me on how I lived my life this far. I'm a little more goal oriented then them obviously but I feel like I don't try as hard to work myself up to where I want to be in life.

It also upsets me just knowing I've busted my ass at work and basically living paycheck after paycheck and seeing these people on their lazy asses and getting help from mommy and daddy. I don't know... I feel if I continue to be around people who are motivated and "works hard for the money" I can kinda vibe off that and it may possibly makes it easier for me to get to my aspirations.

I'm not blaming others for my own mistakes I know it's me being in control of life. I just feel that you kind of adapt to your surroundings and you learn and grow from it.

Started my new job today...

So even though I got some information from the interviewer and my supervisor about what the position entails. I went into work today and still have no idea what it really is. I mean I somewhat understand the process but I don't know what I'm to do there because it seems like everyone does everything but only on certain days. It's kinda weird how they work together, I mean I'm all cool for teamwork but it's like they do it with not too much communication with each other, I don't know I'm sure I'll get how it all works out.

The day started off kind of awkward because I believe that the temp agency didn't let their representative at the job site know I was coming in today. I wasn't on her "list" so she contacted the office and found out yes indeed I am suppose to be there. After finally getting up to the department I was in I got a little info on the job and started following this guy around all day. I did some filing of checks, stapled some papers together, and open up mail. That was pretty much the whole day... Yup.

I feel like I'm just interning there but I'll just wait for all my logins and junk so I get to start working.

California, Work, Relationships.

California...
Okay... The California thing, I guess I have a little off my back just a tad... My sister is now planning on moving out there after Christmas because of a little financial issues and she gets to stay here with the family during the holidays. I am so relief actually because I would be able to start a higher paying job and actually have time to save money to move out with her. I was going crazy not being prepared but really wanting to move out on time with her but now I have some time to just work my way getting to where I want to be financially before heading out west.

Work...
I hate that I'm still working for the company I'm with, our department has closed down and instead of getting severance pay that we should have gotten we are all transferred to another department that is not at all close to what we originally applied for. There's no way of getting severance pay because they had another job available and if we don't take it we don't get severance or unemployment. What my plan is at this time is just go through that training class they have set up for us and try my hardest getting another job before actually having to do the actual work, at least get paid for just sitting my ass for 2 and half weeks you know? I've got some interviews in and now waiting for some response... I'm really not the greatest on interviews I usually just choke up and don't know what to say, hopefully they can just look at my resume and use that over my interview.

Relationships...
I'm not in one actually and I'm not really looking for on at this time in my life, but what I like to have is just a great amount of quality friends before actually leaving to California. I know I'm planning on moving anyway but I need good people to support my move and to keep me grounded and know where I came from if I get to "California" or something. I'm an Iowa boy as much as I don't like to admit it and complain about hating it. I'm not the typical stereotype of being raised in a farm and like corn, but this is where I know I'll be accepted at. If I fail in life I know I can come back to the people that I love and love me back.

I Kinda Miss it...

I miss what I had before, things have changed and it's awkward at times. I kind of wish what was needed to be done should have been handled differently, because now it's changed and not for the better. I'm always open to changes, why would you want to live a boring life you know? I can't really do much about it now though because what's done is done and all I can do is live with it. Live with the awkwardness it comes with. Just wanted to say that I do miss what I had and I hope for the best that it can somehow down the line to be back the way it is...

Anxiety has taken over me...

I'm freaking out a little... Have too many things going through my head and cannot get it all together and sorted out. I'm worried I can't do it. I'm worried about failing. I'm worried about money. I'm worried about my life.

Finally MMS has come to my iPhone!

Yes, yes today is Friday September 25 and today AT&T have finally released MMS to all iPhones. It took forever for both AT&T and Apple, how could they have not released this option when the first iPhone came out? I just don't get it all other phones have had this feature and it took Apple and AT&T 2 years for them to have officially have MMS.

I was talking with Katie if you want to check out her blog Click Here

Oh and my dad's Tailoring shop is up... well not really it's "Under Construction" but there's at least something up there.

America's Best Dance Crew Season 4 (Show is fixed...)

I haven't talked about this season as much as the others in the past, to be honest I don't think this season's crews are that great. It's down to the top 2 crews and I'm shocked how the turnouts are. The show is obviously rigged no way could Afroborike made it to the final 2, not just that they made it to the top but they have avoided the bottom 2 crews the last couple weeks. I just cannot justify how that could have been. Every blog sites and forums have said nothing good about them and even the judges on the show would keep giving them not-so-great criticism. I know everyone and was leaning more towards Massive Monkeys they have been great of course they're all breakers and pretty much the last 3 crews have won are breakers. That's why I think MTV is fixing the turnouts of this season. They want a girl group to win (We Are Heroes) and the only way to get them to win the final votes is to have a crew that is not likeable to go against them in the finals. Not saying that 'We Are Heroes' aren't good because they are dope, way better than Afroborike. It's obvious that they have been saved by MTV throughout the whole show because they have been in the bottom 2 the judges allow them to move forward.


I have to say after watching this season I don't think I can even watch another season how they are messing with the turnouts. If anyone out there actually likes Afroborike let me know in the comments and try to persuade me why they should be up there because I just can't see it...



OH!! On another note this is just like how the first season of ABDC is, I know JabbaWockeez would have won that season anyway, but Kaba Modern was such a better crew than Status Quo. I highly doubt they had the mass votes when it came down to those 3. I even heard on blog sites of people that were in the audience that night that they were BOOed when they found out Kaba Modern was announce to leave the show and they even had an encore performance after the show's recording for the audience. For that reason I believe MTV just wanted the show to make it an West Coast and East Coast feud thing.

Another side note: I went to the Britney Concert on 9/11 and saw Jia from Kaba Modern! W00t! I didn't know she was a Britney dancer! haha

Kanye and Taylor VMA '09

It's late to talk about this really and it's getting really old since everybody in the world is talking about this. Here's my opinion on it now...

As much as I didn't appreciate Kanye West and his crazy antics Sunday night (09/13/09) on the VMAs, interrupting Taylor Swift on her moment to win an award for the first time. I'm over it now, Kanye apologized and Taylor accepted. As much as I don't respect Kanye West as a person, I respect the music he puts out...

Follow me on Twitter

Will be out soon...

I'm not talking about out of Iowa but out of my job soon. Yeah we'll be all over because my department is being taken away so I guess it's back to the drawing board and starting all over again. As much as I have complained about working where I've been for the longest time, I just couldn't get myself away from it for some reason... The pay was never good it just gets repetitive and doesn't seem like there's anyway of advancement. I did make some excellent friends here that I will totally take with me once I leave this company. I won't forget about you guys for sure, just link me in Facebook or any social networking sites (I'm pretty much in all). It's almost a breath of fresh air once I'm out of here though, it is a new chapter in life if it goes for the best or worse, I'm just happy that I'm moving on. I don't really have much plans after getting out of here to be honest I haven't been saving as much as I should to get out of Iowa, either way though wish me luck on my endeavors.

Friends Meshing

I have a hard time mixing a group of friends with another group of friends. I don't know why that is I mean you would think if I got along with this group that they shouldn't have a problem with this group. I'll admit, do at times act a little different with a group than another... Now that I'm thinking about it, I might be socially self-conscious that I'm too afraid to be judged by who and how I interact with other people. I know that I do have a group of friends that are very judgmental and it would break my heart if they do not like another group of friends, also they would be the people that wouldn't hold back on expressing how they would feel about a group of people.

I don't know... I'll slowly try to move people around.

Cough Cough

Oh my god, I think something is starting to be seriously wrong with me, I've been having this cough for a while now and I just can't seem to get rid of it... I've been taking cough drops and they do sooth them down but I'll continue to keep coughing throughout the day. At times I would have these cough attacks like where I would just keep coughing and almost having to vomit because it's working my stomach and lunch muscles. I really hate going to the doctor but I think I may have to go to one soon about this. the side of my body is kind of in pain right now because of this and it really doesn't seem to be getting any better...

Well let's give it a couple more days...

Need to start doing some Job Hunting in the LA area

Just realizing this now, August is almost over and my sister and I are planning on leaving late September or October... Somewhere in the fall anyway. I seriously need to start working on my resume and just start sending it. I want to make sure that I have something when I'm out there and also having to get a place to stay. I'm a little nervous now because it's almost gametime and I'm really not prepared at all as I thought I would. My job is being very shady and I know that they'll find a way to screw us over getting a severance pay. I may have to find some random temp jobs here in Des Moines in the mean time. I think I'm actually a little scared now, I was telling myself whatever happens I'm going down there anyway but that isn't smart and I gotta really start saving now. Some friends are planning on taking a trip to LA in October and I would be kinda cool if I was already out there... I don't know, I gotta stop spending money.

Wish me luck folks...

Kids Need to Respect!

So there are these two brothers that are cousins of my cousin's and everytime my uncle's family would have some kind of party and this family is invited. I have to say these kids are the rudest piece of trash out there. Not that it matters, but the dad is white so they're half Thaidam and half white. Anyway everytime they come over they don't bother to play with the other kids they would just sit there being obnoxious and would once in a while speak just to say something rude to another cousin or kid. I was told by my cousin that her family invited them to a baseball game and they were sitting behind them. One of them decided to put their feet up on the chair that my little cousin was sitting in and she told him to stop but he continued doing it even after my uncle has told him to stop.

So the last party at the house was my little cousin's birthday and of course we're all watching tv we all agreed on something to watch, no big they were just sitting in the back minding their own business. A little later we went to another room to watch my cousin blow out the candles and of course the two brothers stayed behind didn't care for that and went up and change the channel on the TV. We came back and asked nicely since we were all watching that if we could change the channel back. The freaking little brat didn't even acknowledge us at all he just continued watching what he was watching. Luckily I was leaving the house around that time so it didn't matter much to me but now that I think of it I'm really annoyed and pissed about it. This isn't the first time this kid has done this. I want to just tell him off and tell off their parents.

Your kids needs to respect one another, if you haven't noticed they're alone and not playing with the other kids. My uncle invited your family over and your kids didn't even wish her a Happy Birthday. You're not good parents and should be very shameful that you have not told them what is right or wrong. Especially the father, you married an asian lady you should know that we're a big family and you know that we love and respect one another and our culture so take your fucking SHOES off when you get in the house! They had to be married at least 10 years so he has no excuses, if he hasn't hung out with the family enough then he should have taken time to do so, there's a lot of opportunities to be around us we celebrate almost everything so there's so many events he could attend. I'm just more upset about how they let their children get away with all this shit.

Omaha Around 6 in the Morning

So my sister went on a vacation for a few days to NYC and the flight would be cheaper if she left from Omaha instead of straight out of Des Moines. Her flight leaves at around Tuesday 18th 2009 5:45 in the morning so I asked my cousin, since she has weird working hours if she wants to join me. We decided to stay around and take some pictures... I know we're weird.
