Marc Star - Final Fantasy 8 Fantasy Rush OC ReMix |
] |
So it was a pretty crappy week starting Sunday.
Pretty much I goto open up the Funcoland store outside the mall as a favor because the manager worked with me and is an awesome guy. So I go over there and somehow trip the alarm after disarming it.. go figure.. so they send the cops by because I don't know the pin-code for when they call as I don't work there. After that phonecall about the cops coming my DM calls and flips out that I'm at that store and start's questioning me. Naturally I get defensive, "I'm here because they asked me to, I don't ask questions I'm doing a favor." Satisified for the moment with the response he lowers his attack and then asks me to hook up the wireless scanner for the stores inventory that night. So I can't find the thing, naturally and have to call up the manager for the Pin number and the location of the elusive scanner. Both things obtained the cop still comes and makes me let him in to look around. He leaves satisifed I'm not a thief and I open up shop. I start hooking up the scanner and do exactly what my DM tells me to do. But as I get to the last step the blasted thing says "Communication Error" so I call him up and tell him that it says this. What does he do? He blows the fuck up! >_< "Tim what'd you press, you have had to have pressed something for it to be at that screen!!" "I touched nothing, I did what you told me" "You're going to ruin inventory for the store, you're going to ruin this all, what did you do, what did you touch, call help desk get the password!" Now I'm angry, with just cause I believe. So I call help desk and tell the guy that my DM's flipping out on me and telling me I'm going to ruin the inventory, he finds out that I'm from another store and have no instructions to the scanner so he tells me: "Don't worry about this, you're not from this store, you have no instructions and weren't suppose to be there today, this is your DM's fault not yours, what's his name?" I tell him the name of my DM, now I'm afraid he's going to pass it up to management to come down on him, he deserves it, but he'll know it was me ;_; Oh well! So the day goes on, and I'm not in the computers.. so I can't ring! Manger isn't due in until 4.. but I managed to get ahold of him again and get his passwords.. yay. Then a pen exploded in my pocket and ruined a pair of my pants ;_; then at closing.. the draws are collectively 40 dollars short, with my DM standing there I managed to work it out with the manager to knock it down to 5 bucks, we rock! =X Needless to say what a shitty day right? And this is just Sunday!!!
Monday! Not too much bad about Monday just can't think or get my shit together as I'm sick with something. So I pawn it off as a carry over of Sunday's events and goto sleep.
Tuesday! Well Tuesday isn't going so bad so far, as I sit down for dinner, what naturally happens the whole damn thing of rice, vegetables and chicken (All hot and right off the grill mind you) Dump right into my crotch.. this burns.. this angers me.. so what do I do? Scream extremely loud and deeply like a roar.. which rumbled the room and startled people out in my store all the way up front.. if anyone has seen my store not only is it hard to hear out of the backroom standing next to it, let alone all the way up front! What do I do as I scream? Slam my fist harder then I possibly could've thought into the desk. It hurt, but not badly just a sting at most.. at first. 4 hours later my hand has balooned up and I can't use my fingers or move my wrist. I can obviously move my fingers fine now on Wed. However I can't bend my wrist at all, nor twist it, make a fist or spread my fingers! Yippe! XD
Ah well today was fun, went to my 2 classes, my professor wouldn't let me take the day off without an abscence (FUCKING SUFFOLK!!! >_<) and I had to go in.. I e-mailed him and he's like "Sorry to hear about your hand, but your attendance doesn't allow a safe miss, see you in class" The guy is awesome, but come on, give me a bloody break, so what if I was 5 minutes late 5 times and missed one class, it's not like I Didn't pay for them and you don't get paid when I miss them.. Left my Western Civ class early and went and got Chinese food with Jon and then met up with some of his friends, and a brother of my friends from HS.. went to the diner bought Gravitation 8 and Tokyo Babylon 3 (Hurrah for Shonen-Ai! :D... Sue me..) which was the highlight of my week thus far.
But tomorrow, or rather later today.. I'm headed to Florida!!! WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO Thank the Heavens! A small vacation and piece of mind!
My friend Stephanie had her baby Monday which is completely awesome! 8lbs 4oz 20.5inches!
I'll hopefully be seeing the new baby and giving them clothing that my mom bought for them for Micha (The baby :D)
So, post again when I get back with tales of my adventures as I'm sure so many of you are waiting for the stories of my Florida Adventure XD!
I just realized how large this post is.. if anyone read it through completely.. Kudos.. that's a lot of reading X_X;;

Gravitation - Shuichi's Theme |
] |
So the visit from my DM went quite well. I got to work early (holy shitballs! O___O;) and was well dressed and presented, when he walked into the store and I instantly saw him look around for things out of order and saw nothing, I was quite pleased and content with the previous nights work. He walked into the back and noted how well organized and cleaned it look and complimented me on it. For anyone know knows my DM and for him not to say a single negative thing and only pass a compliment is a very, very, very rare occasion. He was behind the counter with me for 4 hours while I was selling and helping customers, not once did he criticize my sales techniques or pitches, and infront of him got 5 reservations and 1 subscription (our company tracks these things heavily... -__-;). When he left around 3:30 he looked at me and said: I haven't seen that back room look that good in lord knows how many ages, major kudos points to your Mr. Tim, keep up the good work.
Score! After that the rest of the day was pretty much working on shipment and then eating pizza. Mmmm Sausage and onion pizza, despite the day being 14 hours long it was quite fun and enjoyable. However I'm dreadfully tired now and about ready to crash, but it definitely went alot better today then I could've possibly hoped for. Good things.. good things.

Gravitation TV Tracks ~ Sleepless Beauty [Sacred Beauty Air Mix] |
] |
So while my manager decides to take 3 days off this week, for no apparent reason other then seemingly being lazy, I'm working over 40 hours and have now twice prepped the store for two major visits from our District Manager and Vice President of Store Operations. My manager on the other hand did nothing to help in these prepartions which kept me at work until 11:45 each night when we close at 9:30. Oh well, this will only make me look that much better. I think my DM may be starting to see how much work I'm really doing and which will hopefully soon lead to a promotion, this way I'm actually getting paid the correct wage for what I do, the job of the Assistant Manager.
Oh well, now I'm off to sleep because I'm working 9am until 11pm tomorrow and 1pm until 10pm on Saturday, which isn't a bad shift, but the manager is supposed to close Saturday's.. I don't think I've had a Saturday night off in months, oh well.. such is life, I keep relying on the fact that "This only makes me look better" and those few miniscule words are the only thing driving me from insanity and breakdown, that this will some how turn out good in the end. But this is Tim we're talking about, such things are not possible for Tim.

I never believed music had a powerful emotional influence until last night. As corny as it'll sound to most of you, Shuichi's theme from Gravitation actually brought two tears to me eyes. Amazing what music can do to you.

Been awhile since I've updated.. gomen nasai.. hrmm now I have to think of noteworthy things to list here 'cause my memory sucks..
Recent Video Game purchases (We know what I think about most..):
Fable.. this game is pretty damn awesome despite being insanely short and having a shitty story. You can do anything you want pretty much, my guy is as holy as can be, is so renowned and attractive (unlike myself) everyone wants to marry him. I have two wives, including the mayor of a major city and the best weapons and armor in the game. I now just wander around at the age of 56 killing random bad guys and getting more tattoo's and money. The game really sucks you in once you get used to it. My other guy though is pure evil and slayed everyone in his home town and every innocent person wandering the country side. He's accepted nowhere and has horns that are massive with glowing red eyes and red aura's flowing around him. There's so much you can do in this game it's unreal, I'd say I put roughly 50 hours into it just completing the story tonight.
Gungrave OD - Can you really say anything bad about the sequel to one of the coolest games on PS2 which spawned one of the greatest anime series to date? I think not. This time it's 10x as long as the original with 3 playable characters; Grave, Juji and Billy. Juji being a blind undead gunslinger and Billy a Ghost wielding a Guitar. With an hour of anime cutscenes once against done by Nightow it's a fanboy/fangirls heaven. That and it's 14.99 at EBGames (19.99 at Gamestop :\) can you really pass it up? no.
Star Wars Battlefront - Best.. Star Wars Game.. Ever..! It's Battlefield 1942 but with Star Wars! You can pick Rebels or Imperial or factions from episodes I, II and III. All the vehicles associated with the planet you're battling on are available to your disposal. Tie Fighters and X-Wings on Cloud City, Speed Bikes and AT-STs on Endor. Best part of the game is you don't play as the Heroes or Villains of the series, you play as the soldiers in the battles, it is so much fun it's unbelievable. It's also 32 players on Xbox live, which right there makes the game. Any Star Wars fan with a PC, PS2 or XBox owes it to themselves to buy this.
I also picked up the Star Wars DVDs, haven't had a chance to watch them yet though as my PS2 is being gay and not playing DVDs.. damned guys in Chinatown modding my system so I can play import games and now no more DVDs.. I'll think of something though, nothing will stop me from seeing Star Wars in Progressive Scan!!!
What else.. hrmmm.. last night I went out to a couple bars and a club until 4am.. drove my friend home who threw up in his garage, funny shit.. today got more Coldstone Ice Cream.. best Ice Cream ever!
However I had a weird episode today as I've coined it.. While standing up, I lost all my vision and sense of orientation and my left arm and leg start twitching convusively.. I'm not sure if my friend noticed it or not, but it was majorly fucked up, I remained tired the rest of the day and my left leg felt alot heavier, I also get pains in my chest from breathing in too deeply. I've lost more weight to, people are worrying about me now, I suppose with good reason it appears my health is rapidly deteriorating, I weigh 165 or so now. Oh well, I'll leave a beautiful young corpse.
My friend Stephanie is on the verge of having her baby though, which is really, really, really awesome I'm very happy for her and Chad (her husband). Last time I saw them when I was down in Florida she told me I was going to be Uncle Tim. That actually made me really happy and honored, probably sounds cheesy to most of you, but it really did. I'm going to be flying down October 14th so I'll get to see the baby now, had I flown down a couple weeks ago I wouldn't have been able to until after the holidays, so I'm happy I'm getting to go down in October now.
That's about all I've got for now.. I think.. I'll post again soon..

So it's now Thursday and guess where I'm not? Florida! That's right, due to the storms I was unable to go down today, it's actually pretty windy here I guess I can't be too angry about the whole ordeal. It's better then on my home being stuck in some hick state if Ivan decided to ram me from behind. I also just found it it's now a Category 5 Hurricane, I feel bad for Florida and the Carribean man.
I completed my third wallpaper though and it came out really nice I think. The background alone is 27 layers, hooray for Grunge Brushes. It's another Fullmetal Alchemist one naturally, because Ed fascinates me, probably because of how angsty he is. So here's the link if anyone cares to view it: Chosen Path. This one took me awhile as I had to restore Ed from a really crappy scan I found online, but hey it was worth it more XP for me *Ding* You've reached level 20 with Photoshop ^_~
I also Napoleon Dynamite today which was hysterical. It was kind of slow at times but when it was funny it was really funny. Disco dancing, that part was great and Pedro's cousins so good. And also today another Xbox has failed on me, I don't think the Xbox god's favor me much right now. The disc tray keeps opening and closing on it's own it's like the exorcist O_O;;
I think that about sums it up for now, If anything else comes to mind, I'll be sure to post it, because I know you all are dying for my next post ^_~

So I've been doing more stuff in Photoshop and made this: Fullmetal Alchemist v2.0. It's nothing great, but I'm just getting my feet wet with Photoshop, hopefully I'll keep getting better. Once again I'm trying to build up Mibuwolves.com but, alas, I don't know any new web programming languages, so it's kind of tough, I may just buy a pre-made layout even though that takes out alot of the fun.
In other un-related things, Half-Life 2 did not go Gold today, it was a hoax. That pissed me off, but oh well, Star Ocean still comes out on Wed. and Gungrave: OD next Wed. Next Thursday I'm also going to Florida for a few days, thank god I can get out of here for a little while. I'm going to take a look down there for apartments again, see if I can make some kind of move by next summer. That would rock if I could, I can't stay home anymore, it's killing me.
Hrm, anything else.. I think that about sums it up for now, I'm going to replace the wallpaper on the journal soon, exciting huh?! XD

I hate thinking. Thinking makes me depressed. You always think of things you thought had been long forgotten, but in the silence of night and abscence of people your mind likes to fuck with you, digging up old things. Oh well, atleast I have L'Arc to keep me company and my Gravitation Skinned Winamp. I also get paid tomorrow which is a plus, I think I'm long overdue on some new manga.. Also looks like Half-Life 2 may be out as soon as next month which would totally rock, they started uploading files through Steam for it. CS: Source is going to be amazing, and hopefully HL: Source as well.. only time will tell I suppose. I'm going to try to fly down to Florida the 9th of next month as well.. but then again this really only pertains to one person, well only person who reads this anyway.. Oh well, may as well goto sleep before I start thinking again..

First off Emi rocks for making this layout! XD
Second, my Pocket PC sold for 193.50 :D So I'm happy about that, more money in the bank for me, now to sell Lunar 2 and Popful Mail for Sega CD..
Today was Brent's birthday so Jon and I bought him Mary-kate and Ashely's Licensced to drive for the PS2 and a PS2 controller missing the O button (Inside jokes). Although playing MKA makes you realize how great Mario Party is, or rather makes MP look good.. no wonder the Olsen twins are suing Acclaim that game fucking blows.
We went to Gashou or something like that, a Japanese Hibachi Steakhouse which rocked and then to Cold Stone Ice Cream, the best fuckin Ice Cream in the world! They custom make it right infront of you any way you want, it's rediculous.
Then there was much Guilty Gear playing..
Hrmmmm.. anything else interesting.. nah that about sums it up.. for now...
