Neverside

My lifes okay. I'm a sophmore in highschool now and I'm kind of looking forward to seeing my friends. I'm probably getting a job soon. I just got my permit and I've been driving everywhere with my parents which is pretty cool. I plan on trying to get a car by next july so I can drive to school next year. My parents want to move to michigan but I want to stay here because I'm currently going to the 7th best school in the nation. The reason they want to move is because of the expenses down here from hurricanes/growing fast. I really don't want to move though because it would probably move me to a shittier school and I'd have to make new friends. Other than that, it's been great.

Philly's nice, I love it there.

Not sure where you're from, but they're very sensitive about things like football there. You come in with a cowboys jersey, you might not come out alive.

I have friends that are from there that I'm in school with, so it should be fun if I get the job.
And the only sport I'm into is real futbol, so I should have no problem
At this point it really doesn't matter to me if I get that job or not, because I just got another contract a couple days ago to do tons of chiropractic, acupuncture and other non-medicinal remedie sites. I could really go anywhere I want, but right now it's looking like Philly or SF within the next 6 months.

I work 23 hours a week in a bakery. Still at school, got straight B's and one A without trying, no paying attention, no homework, no study. Considering studying for grade 12 just so I can get Dux to annoy everyone else (All the smart kids say I could get it quite easily if I tried).

Thinking about post-school life. Originally, I was like 'well, I'll just be a sysadmin'. But now I'm thinking about math. It's the major reason I got put up a grade, I like it, it interests me a whole boat...I'd love to get a PhD in pure mathematics, but the amount of careers in that is like 0. So I'm thinking about where applied math could take me (read: anywhere).

I live in Canada and build igloos for a living.

It's not as easy as it sounds to chisel an ice block down to the perfect dimensions. But at the end of the day, when you look at the setting sun's rays reflecting off that sparkly ice dome, you can't help but get a warm feeling inside, the satisfying feeling of a job well done.

That's only in the wintertime obviously. Once the ice is cleared up enough in mid May we go down the river in our canoes to enjoy the fine warm canadian summer. And it's quite a warm one this year, let me tell ya. Old Chief Micmac says he can't even remember back to the last time this much snow has melted. You can almost get around without snowshoes!

These days we keep having beaver problems down at the lodge. They like to come up and eat away at the log cabins. The tourists like them because they're all cute and cuddly, but believe me, just because they look nice and friendly on our nickel coins doesn't mean they're all fun and games, eh. I tell you what, in the middle of a raging snowstorm, a hole in your cabin wall isn't what you want when you're trying to enjoy some maple syrup and bacon.

I'm currently working @ DirecTV as a customer svc rep in the "advanced" technical department *sighs* ... and I'm just trying to figure out when, not what I'm going to do with my life, because it seems I've gotten myself into a rut or slum as some people would call it. I just call it laziness and procrastination with a bit of a self control issue as well.

Web Design is my cup-o-tea but I'd certainly like to dabble in current and emerging technologies, maybe study a bit of photography, or video editing/making, although, I really do just need to get my foot in the door @ this point so I might be thinking about some sort of a help desk job in IT at a local bank or something. I turned down a job recently because it was for a church, and this is when the "slum" really started to set in, so it was more than 1 reason for me not taking the job. My room is a mess, my roomate, and a possible future roomate want to buy a house with me.

Seriously, who buys a house with a couple of close friends? I mean, the house is only $135k and it's in a developing area and I don't plan on leaving that house for a while if I bought it, but my concern is when one of my roomates decides to move out for whatever reason, I'm going to have to split the 1/3rd of the monthly mortgage payment just to keep the house. Plus I'm a first time buyer, it will be under my name, and although I do have a nice credit score, I don't hardly have any credit cept my truck which is almost paid off.

@ work, I've developed a habit for taking things to the extreme when unnecessary such as taking the max amount of days off in 1 month as those absences roll off the radar after 3 months, so I must wait till September before my first absence rolls off, and October 23rd till I'm even mentioned for a promotion. I hate my job because I do the same thing over and over again literally, and it's easy as hell, but the customers are usually stupid as ****, some of the policies are whack, and my schedule is ****, tues/wed off and working from 3:30pm to midnight.....

I don't have a budget setup, nor have I even balanced a checkbook, which is probably why I got 8 nsf fees from my bank last month, I stay up till 6-7am and wake up anywhere from 2-3pm right before I gotta get rdy for work, and do it all over again. I write things down and stick them in my pocket and somehow, I never read that **** again like a to-do list.

On April 1st I rear ended someone on my way to work because I was gonna be late..... And I'm having issues with my truck, like I think I might have a brake fluid leak, but I haven't taken it into the shop @ all. Once I pay my truck off in a couple months, I then have to start paying off my new 62" tv which I will be paying on till July of next year. So The only thing for me @ this point if I even think about buying a house is to get a better paying and better enjoyable job.

These are just a few things I've got going on right now, and I guess all I need is motivation and to just DO, instead of thinking about **** all the time. Anywho, I turn 21 on August 23rd, so hopefully that will be a turning point in my life as I've got some pretty influential family members some of which are in computer fields, like one uncle works on williams company oracle databases and the other uncle is a software engnineer, both got laid off, and the other worked @ worldcom lol. They've got a lot of knowledge and experience, and I remember my uncle when he just got his masters degree, and remembering in fine detail of him saying that it only took him 20 years to finally get it.

I think I've got a good head on my shoulders, and I know I can change, but I won't bore y'all with my senseless ramblings any further. Time for me to goto sleep... Work again tomorrow.....
