If you intend to vote Tuesday/today,
You better know what the fuck you are doing. If you don't know what a particular candidate supposedly stands for or what the proposition is saying, STAY YOUR DUMB ASS AT HOME!
If you need some help:
how bout you just stay home? how about that?

getting stuck
Hot damn. It is insanely easy to get stuck in a half crappy job. When I was let go from my previous job in March and was picked up by the one I have now, it was only supposed to be for a little while. It was only supposed to be so that I can pay my rent and bills until I found a new job. My acquaintance that gave me this job knew about the situation.
When I tried to leave, my store gave me more money. They told me that they needed me. We all started to become friends and I felt obligated to stay. So I stayed.
I accepted my fairly ok/lousy pay, new connections, and that was that.
I've enjoyed the job security and structure of the operation at the cost of continuing my job search. That was probably my own fault.
I've been with the company for 6 months now. The store closed, we're doing everything online and over the phone, and my position of Manager-technician is now Manager-sales rep. I'm back working sales which is something I don't particularly enjoy. Although, I've made it well known of my intentions to leave and have been tirelessly scouring the internet for a new job, my boss still likes to include me in future plans.
To the random people that are reading this and are looking for jobs too, keep hope alive. My friend just landed a job and it took him 2 weeks to solidify it and he was without a job for quite a while. Fortunately he's in a totally different industry so it's not like we were going after the same job.
I think I'm gonna put up a random post on my xanga so go find it!

van!!!!!!!!
UCK...
got home from the city an hour ago, not even a bar...
I had to present a check to a charity that my school's Filipino club raised money for. Left early, the car barely started, went down a block and a half and the car fucking died. Took about 2 hours for road side assistance to come and give me a boost - we all thought it was the battery. I drive 2 more blocks and the car fucking died again. Got some dude to give me a boost, and it died less than half a block away. I called the 1st company that came and they were like, "its probably the alternator, we can't help you, call your insurance company again and have them send a tow truck - CLICK" Called roadside assistance and 2 hours and $88 later, I get the van back to Ft.Lee.
And somewhere between getting the 2nd boost, pushing my van to the curb, and calling for the tow truck, I cracked the screen on my cellphone
the damn van also failed emissions test last month and apparently it costs $650 to fix that. It would also cost another $200 to replace a missing bushing on my sway bar. $200 for a piece of rubber? WTF? REALLY?.
And yesterday I was finally emailed by FDU's risk management dept about a being reimbursed for my broken laptop. An improperly stored hickory tabletop that was leaning on a wall fell on my laptop bag and cracked the screen hardcore. The damage is $650 to repair. The laptop only cost $750...womp womp. The school is saying they're not responsible because they say that the table couldn't have fallen on its own (which it did) and they can't cover the damage of my personal property even though it was damaged by University property.
oh and i also got a $40 ticket from S.Orange for street parking after 9am which apparently is a no-no
and i just said, "no-no."
Fuck my life lol
if the zombie apocalypse was tomorrow, i would be happy as hell lol

So yeaaaa....
FDU'S BARRIO went really well. Prepping for it kinda took over my life for a while, but it was pretty much worth it. It went so well and smooth that a couple of us had to stop for a second:
"Yo, is the show going by this smoothly?"
-"Oh my God! It is!"
Here's some of what you missed:
just click on the pictures because the size got weird when i posted them here and i don't feel fixing it.
there's some videos up on facebook, so if you're hip, i'm sure you'll find them
writing w/ ray is going slow but well...i rearranged my attic and it feels really fun to practice now...
I don't have much else to say these days...

check, check, and check
[x]monday - pizza
[x]wednesday - sushi
[x]friday - fruit roll ups
I was able to take care of all the cravings I've had for the past couple weeks. My tummy is pleased.
I'm feeling close to 100% but I'm still coughing a bit and its been taking about 1-2 hours for my speaking voice to be normal. My singing range is still messed up but it's getting there.
I landed this full time gig refilling ink and toner cartridges while I continue to get my shit together. I've applied to a couple more spots that would allow me to make use of that English degree so I'm hoping that something good happens with that.
With the results of last night's America's Best Dance Crew, I've come to the conclusion that America does not know how to vote - for anything.
If you're reading this and you'll be in the NY/NJ Metropolitan area, on March 29th at the Wuzzup Cafe in Bergenfield, you'll be able to buy me at a date auction. I'll be the guy with the best hair there.

Would you like fries with that?
My previous entry was titled, "Still Searching..." Well now that can be in reference to a new job. So I was released from my sales job recently and unfortunately I was not able to fall back on my fall back job. Apparently things have been really slow at my old store and cannot take me back at the current time. Womp. I've been scouring a whole bunch of these job search sites and sending out my resume so hopefully I'll hear from someone soon. Although I will if I have to, I'd really prefer not to be flinging burgers and fries again. I'm sure this English degree can be of more use to me than just something to cover up the hole in my wall. Not that I actually have my degree yet, I don't get to put my grubby hands on that until May, but you get what I'm saying.
Being sick and guzzling teas and medicine have screwed up my sleep cycle. I am feeling better and can function in society fairly well. Airborne is magic - I don't care what anybody else says. I've been told that people don't like it when you cough on them when they're interviewing you.
Music is being written and Ray and I hope to be doing more writing and some recording during his springbreak. So here's hoping that I don't have always have to have a real job.
