I don't much like the ways of things in our world today.  I don't much like the means by which I must work in order to support myself.  I don't like the American system by which we are all forced to live by unless one can afford their way out of it.  I don't like this at all.  I don't want to go into a horrible building made of stainless steel and plastic to work in an unnatural environment to be paid the "minimum wage" by which the average person should be able to live off of.  I don't want to live in this horrible land of egotistical jerks who care nothing about the spirituality or mind of a person/animal.  These people care not for what goes on within the body but what they can dress themselves up in and what they can do to make themselves look good by simply having the money to own something.  Money is in fact the root of all evil because it is money that people use to judge each other by. 

I want to do actual work in order to live.  I want to sew my own clothing, plow my own field, slaughter my own pigs and cows for dinner. I want to live by the means of my own two hands and my mind.  I don't want to live by what job I just so happen to land because some prick somewhere thought my fancy resume along with my nice grooming would look good as a face of his company.  I don't want that.  When I am to work for somebody else based on what they believe to be right and based on their ideals of a company then where do I have time to figure out what I believe to be right. 

 

Happy Rule Number 1:  No talking about Wendy's.
Happy Rule Number 2:  No talking about Wendy's.
Happy Rule Number 3:  No talking about Wendy's.
Happy Rule Number 4:  Destroy all Wendy's stores.
It is coming time that I absolutely hate working at Wendy's.  I understand that it is just a job but it has started becoming ridiculous.  Now that I have learned every position in the store to a decent extent it seems that ever so often I end up operating nearly three sometimes four positions at once.  Sometimes I will take the order, put down the meat, make the sandwich, and coordinate the order all by myself.  Where are the others?  Goofing off or just hanging around and putting their jobs off until someone asks him or her to do it.  This sort of thing makes me angry on a daily basis and it causes me more stress than I think a job should.  Other times we get so busy and we get so behind that I stress until the point of nearly crying.  It most certainly is time to find a new job but where should I look?  I would like something less stressful than Wendy's but I think I need something that has the same kind of night hours as Wendy's. 
On another topic, Alex is doing better again which makes me feel infinitely better.  I'll spare everyone on the details though. 

for Christmas I got an iPod touch. Amazing, right? I don't know how much I like it but I suppose I'll get used to it. I like the Internet part of it alright though. The typing isn't as difficult as I thought it would be either. Still getting used to it though.

It has been way too long since I last posted.  It seems that I have been so busy with Alex and other things that I haven't had time for the things that I used to do.  Or, when I do have time it seems that I spend all of that time trying to find something else to do or just end up watching t.v.. 
Wow, and I've been on this page for an hour but I got distracted with something else again.  I guess my mind is just too busy with other things now that I don't have as much to write.  Not only that but since I'm usually with people I can talk to I rarely have a huge build-up of junk in my head. 
As far as life goes things are quite well. 
Alex and I are doing quite well together both in and out of our work environment which I believe to be important.  Being able to work with the person you are with seems like it would be a good thing or a good sign, at least. 
Things are finally looking up as I'm learning more about the college system and it does look like I actually will be attending this semester.  I've actually talked to a lot of helpful people who at the same time didn't seem aggravated to help me.  This is promising and it is also positive.  I really do not think that I can mess it up this semester as long as I keep working at it. 
As far as work goes my hours are still pretty decent despite the new night person.  Unfortunately, my managers are more stressed out than they have ever been which is weird because we have two new managers who should take some of the stress off.  Of course, Vannie isn't very smart and Larry is just sort of lazy or too laid-back.  According to Keith, Vannie won't make it much longer in this business as a manager. 

So what have I been up to most recently? 
Yesterday, I didn't wake-up until about 1:30 or so and then when I finally got up, I showered.  Alex soon called and told me to head that way.  When I got there we sort of chilled at his place for a bit and Alisha got Alex and I to come in and help her play Spyro.  Haha.  Good times... Good times...  Sometime later Alex and I left to go out to eat and again, we ate at Hardee's.  I'm sort of wondering if Alex wants to run into his mom there at some point.  Maybe not though.  After we ate we went to Radio Shack and bought his button.  We got back to his house and I watched him soder the button into his guitar.  Unfortunately, while the button did work, it worked backwards from the way he wanted it to so he is going to have to redo it in the other direction.  After that, he and I went and played Spryo again.  That was pretty much our night...  Entertaining, I know. 

Wednesday was my day off work this week until Sunday.  On that day I went up to Murfreesboro to visit both Savannah and Alex.  I stopped by Savannah's dorm first and hung out with her for a while.  After some time, I called Alex to see where he was and it was quite funny because he was basically right across the lawn at the time.  He was at the Cyber Cafe and Savannah and I had just left there about ten minutes earlier.  So Savannah and I went down there to meet him and hang out.  Not too long after that we returned to her dorm and just chilled there for a bit.  We started watching The Butterfly Effect but I'm not sure how far we got with that since Savannah had to get to a class soon. 
Once she left and got us signed out, Alex and I went on a tour around MTSU.  His idea of a tour was pretty hilarious compared to just about anyone else's.  He'd point out random trees that he and his friends had climbed or places that he and his friends had gotten into trouble.  Of course, our tour got interrupted when we ran into one of Alex's friends, Clay.  He reminded me of my brother in a way but he reminded me a whole lot of the Bull brothers from high school.  He seemed cool though and we talked to him for a while.  Not too much later we walked over to the KUC and ran into Jared, Alex's roommate/drummer.  Jared is one heck of an odd guy but he's awesome and definitely a really good drummer.  Just get him talking about the 'flow' and you'll have a good ten minute lecture about it and it's pretty hilarious but it makes sense.  Of course, just a few minutes after meeting Jared we would run into Chris/McLovin and talk to him for a while.  He's kind of nerdy but he's not a bad guy at all.  Just a little different, I guess.  Then, just as we were about to leave, we ran into Willy Smith.  Haha.  So basically, I met all of Alex's friends except Paul who is up in Kentucky.  It seems to me that all of his friends would fall into very different stereotypes and yet they all hang out.  It's definitely the most odd group of people I've seen stand together but yeah. 
After meeting just about everyone, Alex and I went over to his place which I didn't realize was more like a house than an apartment.  I loved it and I'm quite jealous.  I would love a house/place like that.  I've never felt more at home in a place that wasn't my home.  But anyways, Jared was there and after a few minutes of watching him struggle to fix the faucet, Alex and him started playing some music together.  Jared played his drums and Alex would eventually build on it with his guitar.  It was pretty incredible to watch them go at it for hours just trying new stuff.  Eventually, they got off track and played a full song that I recognized but I can't remember what at the moment. Either way, I pretty much got a concert right there. 
Hours later, around 10, Savannah text me that Phil was off work so Alex and I went to pick up Savannah and then Phil and find something to do.  After a bunch of circles and gas eating, we decided to go to Steak and Shake which was pretty cool, I guess.  Phil constantly got on my nerves and Alex and I really didn't talk a whole lot but we had fun.  Then after all of that, it was back to the houses and go to bed.  It was a fun day.
