So yeah, today was going well until Eric got a phone call from his mom telling him that one of his friend's sister died a few days ago and calling hours were tonight. She wasn't close to me (a bit older) but his friend was pretty close to him in HS, and I had talked to him from time to time on the bus. Anyway, it depresses me that the only reason I wear a tie now a days is because either someone is getting married or someone has died.... or the off chance that I have a job interview.
So that's a great way to pretty much start a day....
but wait... there's more! and if you act now... I'll throw in the julianne fry maker for free...
So here I am @ home with my parents feeling kinda glum and all... and I get a phone call from a good friend of mine... I feel bad because I couldn't talk because I had some stuff that I really needed to take care of... but he reminded me that one thing I really wanted to do this summer was go up to the white mountains.... and being the first summer I was away from NH, I wanted to make that happen..... I couldn't... I feel like I let everyone down, I got the time off from one job, but I couldn't get it off from the other..... I got the 4th.... thats it.
I mean, I guess its a good thing, I really need the money to move into a new place (That will come in the next update). And there might be a little bit of awkwardness between Laura and I, but I don't really see that as a problem. But I really wanted to see some people.... like Steve and Tarayn, the remaining 1017 crew, My college friends... you get the idea... I could have done that in 2 days... and right now I don't have that chance. That really kinda gets to me. I hope that I get the chance to go soon.... I know I am missed, by at least a few people.
I love how such a small thing can turn a day inside out.... and how shit seems to love to roll downhill, and not stop at the bottom....
Oh yeah, one last thing... I need to see a dentist soon because I think I broke part of my wisdom teeth.... SUPER.
well... I think thats all I can handle writing right now...

Updates.... Part 1
Ok, when I last left you, I was in NH, struggling with a lot of decisions. Well I went, and I am now in Syracuse, I said my goodbyes and I'm here now. End of story right..... never with me... come on now, you should know that. So yeah, I left NH about 2 months ago, Transferred to a different radio shack, which is working out fairly well so far, and I do landscaping as a full time job right now (better, more stable money). I'm living at home right now, but as of june 22nd, I put a deposit on an apartment which is AWESOME... its in the city, in a half-way decent area, that has a great park and pool nearby. So, that's the main... ME part. I am currently working with my buddy Eric from High school at the landscaping company, and things are pretty kewl there, we are going to be starting a "video blog" on myspace about all the crazy shit we do @ work.
... and now for the kicker... hold on to your shorts....
I have a new girlfiend.... yeah, I know... are ya good now?
So yeah, I know I said I wanted to be single for a while, and honestly it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, but I'm one to get lonely fairly quick, and it takes me a while to remember this.
Not to mention, it was one of those things that I just kinda fell into... She has been a good friend of mine for a long time now and her and I have always had good energy together but had either A: thought it would be too wierd or B: thought that it wouldn't work.
Well, as far as A goes... its not, its a good thing. and as far as B goes... well so far, most excellent.... you see, its hard to describe the mental connection we have other than being "mental twins".
... To be Continued...

Responsibilites suck....
So yeah, I got my tax return back on Friday... all $923, sweet deal.... but the sad part is that more than half of that has to go to bills... which in the long run is better, because that will make money easier to save, and it will ultimately mean that a new clutch for Svetty will be coming soon.
I wanted to spend that money on Svetty and my computer ("Ritsuko") , Ritsuko needs a few new things, but most important right now is a new power supply. I am sick of having to spend 20 minutes of my normal morning TRYING to start up my computer... it pisses me off. Not to mention burning CD/DVD's is a pain in the ass because it could just randomly power itself off and make a coaster out of the burning media.... and if I am making a "lightscribe" disc.... that is one fucking expensive mistake.
Anyway.... poor svetty... she needs a bath, and needs to be cleaned inside too.... I haven't had the time to take care of her. Poor girl's screamin' at me for a new clutch, an oil change and a good hard inspection of the ignition system (O2 sensor is probably on its way out).... but hey, right now I can get by... not TOOO much longer, but I can make it for the time being.
With all the bills paid off, all I have to worry about is rent (and I gotta pay car insurance too...), and that's not a big deal.
Stage 1 racing clutch... here I come!
I'll keep ya posted on the progression of that....

Drifting....
So yeah, this has only a little bit to actually do with the title.... I watched Tokyo Drift, well worth a rental, a kind of "typical" fast and the furious lack of Juicy plot... but the juicy women made up for it :-P. That's what kind of inspired the last post.
Anyway... to the reason I call this drifting...
It has been a while since I hit rock bottom, I'm not there yet, but I am certainly close. I hate it when I get like this... and I think the people around me do too... at least the ones that care enough to tell or say something. These are the days when I think about what would happen if I let go of the steering wheel, and just kinda, went with the flow.... now, I may be slightly out of my tree... but I am not suicidal... everyone at one time or another has suicidal thoughts and thats normal... what is not normal, is when you act on them.... and that ladies and gentlemen, is something I would never do.
So there have been a lot of things on my mind as of late...
- Moving (if yes or no)
- Making sure that I have enough money to take care of things around the house.
- Making sure all the bills get paid that are in my name... and everyone in the house gets paid for what I owe them.
- Trying to ensure that I have the proper funds to get svetty her new clutch... (may not happen)
- Trying to deal with my own bipolar self
... ya know, that kind of shit.
But I have been thinking a lot lately as well... you see I am good at multitasking... very good. This you will understand a little better shortly.
So anyway, that's most of the "front-burner" kind of shit summed up nicely... now for the more "back-burner, I don't tell people about this shit" shall we?
There are a few things in specific that I have been thinking about, and have been sitting on the back burner... but the one that bothers me the most... is me thinking about past relationships (IE: Girlfriends). And yes, plural. I have been rather lonely as of late... but that's really something that I chose to have. Honestly, I need to think about myself for a while anyway. But past girlfriends have been creeping into my thoughts, partially because I am lonely, and I understand that, but there are other things.... like I have unfinished business or something. Which I don't. I said what I said... to all of them. But still I sit here, 04:56 (almost 5 am to you 12hr people), unable to sleep... If I had something more to say to them, I would. Not like it would matter anyway, its all moot now, it means nothing, and even if I had something to say, that wasn't relevant to the relationship... it still wouldn't matter, hell, I'd be lucky to get any kind of response. Let alone something that would be satisfying enough to shut my brain up. There has been a-many-a-night that I have wanted to just fucking cry myself asleep... hoping that it would help... problem with that: A: people can hear me B: can never seem to produce the tears
That's the big one on the back burner... and there are several more, but we'll leave the rest unattended for now... IE: your not getting the whole story, but leave it the fuck alone.
I had another "episode" yesterday, about this time.... and yes, episode needs to be in quotes because I am referring to it in a way that it may not be intended. An "episode" to me is what basically I nick-named "treeing" (that's so spell check doesn't go too ballistic). "Treeing" I will define for you, its complicated, but just follow the steps, they are in chronological order. This normally happens when I have been thinking a lot about one specific subject... could be anything, and I do mean anything. Keep in mind, that when this is happening to me, I am not really aware of my surroundings, unless something touches me, and I am not really conscious of time until I come out of this... so I really don't know how long i can be "treeing" but it happened once for about 15 hours... I was in NYC on a park bench...
Luckily, I wasn't "treeing" for more than 20 minutes last night... I was tired, and I also was standing... well, leaning, not that I think the subject would have lasted that long anyway... but ya never know sometimes.
well I'll leave ya to wrap your head around that shit for a while... come back to me when you think you understand what I deal with mentally on a daily fucking basis. (and no, that is not meant to sound condescending... I just hate those people that say "I know exactly what you mean" and you just KNOW they have no idea. )
Talk at ya again soon....
Maybe I can drift off to sleep now.

- Take said subject matter, and go back as far as you can remember of it personally. (EXAMPLE: A friend you knew in kindergarten... the day you met)
- Now, find every instance of you making a decision with them, or involving them directly or indirectly. (EXAMPLE: you go out to have lunch with your new friend or by yourself) This part normally takes the human brain a while... this is where being good at multi-tasking comes into play.
- Now that you have found EVERY decision you have ever made with your friend, go through, one-by-one and make the opposite or another choice in the given situation, until said choice has exhausted itself. (EXAMPLE: you chose to have lunch with your new friend... good, what would have happened if you didn't, probably wouldn't have been as good of friends... maybe the next day you go out with him... oh wait.. he was sick that day.... are you starting to understand?)
Luckily, I wasn't "treeing" for more than 20 minutes last night... I was tired, and I also was standing... well, leaning, not that I think the subject would have lasted that long anyway... but ya never know sometimes.

I need to cry....
so yeah, as the title of this says, I need to cry, but the problem is, I can't seem to. Its not a problem with me being to "manly", I couldn't give a shit less about that. Its not about leaving my friends here, I will be in touch, one way or another... probably see them around the fourth of July (when mike, mar, and whomever else and I go up to the white mountains), I do intend on keeping that tradition... I love it up there and I love being with my friends.
It is a matter of how frustrated things are making me right now. There are too many variables, and I don't know how to fucking solve for X.... its not even a matter of actually getting there, I don't even know where to begin. I know I really need to make the decision, either stay here or go home, but there are complications:
- Am I going to be able to afford the move (depends on what I need to rent to get back home)?
- Once I get home... If I go home, where am I going to stay?... Right now, my mom told me I can move back in, but I have to find an apartment soon (I don't want to be a burden).
- I have a good friend that is starting a business, and wants me as an on-site technician... but that is pending on him getting a house to start this business in (and to live in), so I have to either stay @ Radioshack in SYR somewhere, or find a computer store or something to work at whist he takes care of business. (which I may stay at anyway just for the extra income).
- I would like to work @ SU (Syracuse University) and go to school at the same time.... it would be convenient... and I think I still get tuition for free (I'll have to check on that) because my stepfather Gary works there and has worked there for like almost 30 years now. If its not free... I still have to finish my school... without it, I'm just another loser, so I either go to SU or OCC.
- If I don't move back, I will have to find either another job to supplement or I may have to leave radioshack altogether, I don't really want to leave, so I may find something in the mean time... if I am going to leave RS, it would have to be a VERY nice job, that would justify it to me, and to Steve.
- Thinking of Steve, he offered me a place to live (for cheaper than I am currently paying...) if I want out of my current situation, which honestly would probably be a good idea. I love these guys and all, but sometimes its a bit much to deal with, and I know that I am not the best to deal with sometimes either, probably around times like now because of how pissy I can be when I get frustrated.... I don't know.
:: smashes head into keyboard ::
I just wish this was a little easier.... less options, less shit going on... and more money :-P that would make it a little bit of an easier decision.
I have to do what makes me happy, but I know that initially, I will be happy to move back to SYR, but its the karma city, and I will want out again, I would be relatively happy to stay here, but there would have to be some change.... either way, I am going to have to start making a fair amount of money, not because it makes you happy, but because I have a lot of shit WAY overdue that I need to start paying on, and I need to stop dragging the house down. I would love to be able to work from home, and go to school, that would be awesome, and it would make things a lot easier... but I am not looking for a "get rich quick" scheme. I want to be technical support or something like that.
..... I'm gonna stop now.... I need to take a shower and have a butt... and get ready for work
I may edit this later, but I want to post it now.

Current Events & Happinings...
So yeah... tis time for another update to the world....
Okay, starting off with random cool stuff:
Went to an event called "Market Place at Birka" with 2 good friends... and I didn't feel like a 3rd wheel... its kinda like a renaissance fair, only its not a fair, its a marketplace, and its inside (lucky for me, I was wearing a Kilt!). Yes, I was wearing a kilt... and yes, it was in the "Traditional Fashion", and Yes, that fact was checked... by a few people... one of which by the name of Kieth... who is black as night, and as gay as a rainbow... he has very soft hands... ANYWAY... it was a blast, and NO, I'm not gay! :-) (though I bet Kieth wishes I was.... at least at times)
Things have been SLOWLY improving lately... as far at least with the monetary flow... still not as good as Christmas time... but yeah it never is in retail. Though still poor... due to the amount of heating oil this house consumes... at least my head is slightly above the water.
I also most recently found out that my paternal grandfather is out of the hospital... YAY! He went in a little before Christmas I guess.... for a few things, but hey, he's out now and home with my grandmother (thank goodness... she was probably a wreck). I just hope I can get home soon to see him...
Okay, well that's it for the good/cool stuff....
And now to play off to the digital doctor that seems to be this blog (*and I apologize to people that read this shit sometimes.... but hey, it gets all this crap off my chest*)...
So yeah, I am really up in the air on where I want to be after my lease is up in April...
HONESTLY I wouldn't mind staying here.... but I really want to be back in SYR (Syracuse, NY). I have friends both here and there, but there is really nothing holding me here anymore, I still have my job here (which no matter how much I get frustrated with it, I still like it), but that's about it. My family kinda needs me... or at least needs me close for a while. They didn't tell me this, I just can feel it. I haven't seen anyone in over a year and a half for more than a few hours when I went back to get my car inspected in Sept. . Barely any of my friends have bothered to call me.... even though my cell phone number has stayed the same for the past 2 and a half years. And I REALLY miss everyone.
I could stay here and possibly find either another job that's part time, or.... more sadly, leave Steve, RadioShack and 1017 behind and do something a little different possibly.... I don't know anymore... there is no simple answer, and there is no one that can make or even help make that decision....
If I move back to SYR, I have my parents and my friends, I have a place to live.... no job thus far, but I do have people looking for me....
If I stay here, I have my friends, I have a place to live, and a decent job....
:: long pause ::
I really don't want to leave here without my friends, but I have my old friends waiting... I have my family waiting... ::shrugs::
I just don't fucking know anymore...

An offer I couldn't refuse...
So yes, I was made an offer.... an offer I couldn't refuse.... so I didn't. (refuse!)
As a radioshack associate, we were offered a price break on 2 different Sirius satellite radio receivers (for a VERY limited time... like 3 weeks) ... the Sportster4 Receiver for $90 (normally $149.99 retail), and the Stiletto100 Portable receiver for $150 (normally $349.99 retail). Yeah, I got the Stiletto :-P.
So I get the car kit, the DAY I order this thing (I have to have it shipped to me) just so I can get it installed, and take my time with it and not do a sloppy job with the installation. So with a little help from my good friend Raven, we get this thing installed... and damn, it just looks GOOD... no wires... anywhere! I am still psyched about that :-). So about 5 days ago, I get this thing, and since then... oh yes, TONS of awesome programming :-), I have 30 presets... and most of them are already filled.
So I'm thoroughly enjoying my radio about 2 days ago... Area 33 is one of my favorites (bad ass trance-y techno-y shit :-) ), and I hear a great beat... so I turn it up a little bit, and low and behold it just starts sounding like shit. NOW... I know all of my speakers have been blown (2 were before I owned the car) but this was just the last straw for me....
SO, I go to walmart last night, go pick out some half-way decent replacement speakers (I figure almost ANYTHING will sound better at this point). I find out shortly after opening the packaging, that the ones I picked out are low-line Rocksford Fosgate speakers (which if you don't know, they make some pretty excellent speakers!)... SHHAAWEEET.... so after a slight size mishap... I went back to walmart, got the right size, and finished the install in their parking lot... and drove home, literally in tears... my system sounds about 100x better and well, I'm an audiophile... you do the math....
so yeah, got a new haircut, a new radio, new speakers.... I'm doin pretty goddamn decent!
feelin good

As a radioshack associate, we were offered a price break on 2 different Sirius satellite radio receivers (for a VERY limited time... like 3 weeks) ... the Sportster4 Receiver for $90 (normally $149.99 retail), and the Stiletto100 Portable receiver for $150 (normally $349.99 retail). Yeah, I got the Stiletto :-P.
So I get the car kit, the DAY I order this thing (I have to have it shipped to me) just so I can get it installed, and take my time with it and not do a sloppy job with the installation. So with a little help from my good friend Raven, we get this thing installed... and damn, it just looks GOOD... no wires... anywhere! I am still psyched about that :-).
