My Life as of Right Now

I don't mean to sound like a total idiot by ranting on about life right now but I feel it necessary because a few things have hit an all time low. Other things have been way good. My school work has actually done better than I have done any other semester so I really can't complain about that at all. I have an awesome girl who thinks I'm basically the shiz and I think she is the shiz too, but we are a few hundred miles apart so that kinda sucks. Just by ranking things in this first little bit it sounds like my life is pretty good and that is exactly what I want you to think because in reality I don't think I have been in a more pissed off mood than the mood I have right now. Ever.

There are a couple of factors that have led up to the feelings of failure that I have right now in my life. One of them is work. Let me paint you a picture of what I did today at El-Gene TV and Appliance. I was looking forward to going and enjoying my usual Saturday there in which I basically watch college football all day and answer phone calls while helping the occasional customer. It was gonna be tight. I walk in and let my coworker go and as I begin to change the channel from The Discovery channel to something interesting like the Penn State game I get a phone call. On the other end was a woman who was wanting to know "where the h**l (her) laptop is" (those are the exact words) and I went back to our computer repair dungeon only to find nothing there but computers and no one to tell this wonderful woman what is going on with her laptop. I get back on the phone with her and the conversation that ensued was mind boggling. I was surprised to find that no matter how many times or ways I told her that "no one was there that has worked on her laptop" or "No one can tell you anything about your laptop because there are no computer technicians here" she would proceed with following my statement with "so what is happening with my laptop". I understand sometimes there are people that are hard of hearing but when you are a 20 something-year-old woman and you ask the same question repeated times hoping for different responses it makes me wonder if this woman has the competency of a 6 year old. It was only annoying because she called 6 times in a 5 hour period even though every conversation ended with me telling her that I would call her when I could find something out. Ok that's actually not even the end of it. I called her to come pick it up and a little later she walks in to pick it up while having the nerve to tell me that she "didn't actually need the Laptop. The day is just so boring without it". There was a part of me that wanted to give her the bird but I remembered that I am better than that. Thank goodness for the gospel.

So the girl last weekend was BOMB. It was seriously the best time that I have had with anyone of the opposite sex ever. She has it all because she is smart, beautiful and funny. It's kinda weird though because our personalities are so much alike, and for a lot of people that doesn't work, but for us it works so crazy good. I get to see her again a day or two after New Years and we'll see where her and I go from there. I really can't wait to see her again. I should have taken pics.

So that is my life in a nut shell. I leave for Ohio tomorrow morning and it is gonna be way cool so I'm off. Peace

WTH is Going on With my Life

So my life has been going quite well for the past while and I have zero complaints. This weekend I'm going to Cali to visit a girl named Emily. This should be quite the trip because I haven't seen her for a while. We are best friends so I figured why not. I'm leaving on Thursday and I have to take the dreaded Salt Lake Express which is a bus system from here to Salt Lake. I'm sure that this trip will be the best one that I have experienced in a while. It feels really good to just break the mold every once and a while and give life a jumpstart. I have felt like I have gone nowhere doing just school and that's it for a while. I am so ready to start living "life" though I know as soon as I do start I'm going to miss the old life which is go to school, work, party, sleep. It should be interesting to see me adapt to a new life that doesn't include any of the above except for work of course. Wish me luck on my grand adventure to Cali because I'll need all the help I can get. I'm sure that I'll post pics up of the trip if I take any. That is one thing I need to get better at. I'll do it.

So this Halloween has been absolutely insane. I decided to be a figure Ice Skater. Some called me Chaz Michael Michaels. I preferred "Sex on Ice". Call it what you may, it may have been one of the best halloween costumes that I have ever put on. The only downside to it was the cup that I had to wear the whole night. I shouldn't say that I had to wear it because it was more of a chose to wear it. Trust me when I say that if I wasn't wearing it the costume would have looke a whole lot different. So I had a really good time and went with a couple friends out to party a bit. The middle picture was a sad attempt of a throw. The people at the party all wanted us to do something since we were a tandem so we decided to give them a little show. My partner/roommate Spencer wasn't one to perform much in front of other people but it was nice to have someone there that looked as gay as i did. Hopefully these pictures will give you an idea of how good of a night I had. We were definitely some of the better costumes there so it was a good time. I hope you have fun thinking about how proud you are to know me as a son, brother, or friend haha JK. It's actually kind of humiliating now that the adrenaline has worn off...

Button up Jeans and Urinals

Today I learned something that was seriously ticking me off. So I'm in school and I gotta use the restroom and like any guy I go to the urinal and to my disgust I noticed that I was wearing jeans with those buttons instead of a zipper. It may have been the most frustrating thing that I have ever experienced so far this semester. I had to sit there for like 5 minutes undoing those buttons! I was ready to just rip the things off or just go in them. I really had to go and those buttons were just hanging on for dear life. I did get them undone but it took forever. I figure that I will never use a urinal again while I have these things on. The jeans do look good though and they are a decent brand (paperdenim&cloth) so I am going to keep rockin them of course, but man... that button thing is annoying.

On the side note I have decided to start saving my money again by stop going on dates. We'll see how long that actually lasts. Hopefully a while so I can save up some serious cash because I need it. So I am retired from dating girls for a season. Unless Some supermodel babe wants to date me I'm done for a while.

Life in General

Life is something that has treated me with the utmost respect. I feel as though somehow my life has been blessed from the heavens by forces unbeknown to many of those who walk the travelers course of this world. Sitting here in the library up at school can sometimes make me feel as though I am a part of a greater cause; a cause that is so amazing that I myself do not fully comprehend what it is in it's entirety.

What my role in life may be is clear to me, and I know what I want to do, but there seems to be a purpose to what I am doing right now that does not seem to be clear. I'm fine with the eternal perspective of things, school is priority right now, dating girls is important and seems to be turning my wallet into some kind of disappearing trick (though I know that tricks are something whores do for money) or illusion.

In order to feel content with my life I have decided to make a couple of goals to get things done within the next year or so. Backpacking a foreign country seems to be the best of these goals as of yet. School is important and what not but I feel as though it is pointless and will only serve me as a stepping stone to get on with life and also to make me happy with accomplishing a task that more than 60% of those my age have already done. Life will go on legitimately as the title of my blog suggests. I have met people that are making my life more pleasurable as far as the social aspect of things go.

I'd like to relate my life to the classic hit single made by Tupac Shakur titled "Ghetto Gospel" in which he states " ...I feel his hand on my brain, when I write rhymes I go blind, and let the Lord do his thang!" I had to throw that in there because it has been my favorite song for the last couple of days haha

School...

I'm sitting in school right now and I've realized a few things about school:

1 School sucks... I mean I need to know this stuff and it is really important don't get me wrong. It just sucks having to do school work all day everyday. Life doesn't get more lame than doing homework when you could be having a good time with your friends. I'm young and I still need to do alot of cool stuff. Getting school done will help with the ability to do more cool stuff but it gets so old...

2 Rexburg is getting lame. I am about 90% positive that I have done every fun thing that there is to do here in Rexburg and the one hobby that I do have right now (which is golf) is getting very expensive. Living off of $7.50 an hour part time is kind of a problem.

3 Choosing what I want to do for a living right now is kinda a big deal. Jensen JEWeler had a job opening and I went and applied and not so surprisingly the manager liked me. We talked for a good while about what is important for us in our lives and I realized that What I wanted in my life is totally different than what I want. Living in a small little town selling jewelery is definitely not what I would call the dream life. Small little towns are killing me. This mans dream of what I could have been to that company made me open up my eyes and realize how important this school stuff really is. I will not be stuck here in the "Burg" for the rest of my life because I would slay myself here.

So I have to go to class now. My life is still legit, I don't want to confuse anyone with my rant. I could not love it more. These thoughts just popped into my mind and it had to be said.

Blogging...

So this is my first time that I have ever written a blog or anything of the sort, and it is surprisingly interesting. I figured that everyone else is doing it and why not me?

There are a few things that have been bugging me with blogs though so if I do them then I may not forgive myself. The spelling errors kill me... I can't stand them. I know that I am going to have my fair share of them though. So for those of you who are reading this or seeing this whomever you may be, sit back, relax, and pop a cold one and enjoy what happens in my life.
