Hey there everyone. I know that it has been a long time for me to write in here but I figured that now I have a chuck of free time to do this before summer school starts up.So let's see what I can chat about with you all.

School: Now that I'm free from that place for a few weeks, it feels nice to have some time to myself again. Though I know that this time will be short-lived. I will be starting up summer school in a few weeks so that I can keep a nice schedule for the fall semester and not worry about burning myself out especially with the fact that it will be during the holiday rush season. I'm close to graduation time since I have a few hours left. All I need to do is to keep myself focused and work on passing my classes with C's or better.

Work: That's been a fun trip there. It's been a lot of work doing full-time hours and only being recognized as part-time. Well, it might change soon enough. I'm thinking about leaving the company since I'm not happy there anymore. I'm tired of getting screwed over and not getting acknwledged for some of the things I do within the store. Oh well, if I do leave, I'll make sure that it's on good terms so that I can return if I need to.

Family: My family's been ok here. Just kinda glad that they have supported me through a lot of stuff. Still living at home and will stay that way for a bit longer until some new job opens up for me somewhere. Besides that, they're all ok. My mom got her Masters in Organizational Leadership which makes me proud that she earned it. Long story short, she wanted to quit (like me at so many time periods) but she stuck it out and I'm proud to have her do it.

Love Life: It's been kinda quiet in that field. Granted I have chatted with some prospects but nothing serious as of yet. I might just take a small break and just let me enjoy my singlehood before I try anything new. Probably will be when I move out of the house.

ACEN: For those of you who know, ACEN (Anime Central) is one of the cool anime conventions that happens in Chicago every May. This was my second year going and I liked it. Here's the events that went on for that weekend (Mother's Day Weekend). I got there Fri evening since I worked that morning. Once there, I dropped my stuff off and waited in a long line to get my pass. Well, I was about a few people away from getting to the second set of lines when they shut down for the evening. I was upset and decided to go out to Boystown for the night. Was kinda fun and ended up going to a friend's place who I haven't seen in a long time. Hung there and the went to Steamworks. You can use your imagination on what happened in there. Left there Sat morning and then made it back to ACEN to get my pass. I did some shopping and then took a quick nap. Left the convention and went to my mom's graduation. Came back later that night and wanted to hit the big rave. Since the line was huge, a few friends and I went up to my room where we chilled out. From there we went and watched some good hentai (anime porn). We also played some ParaPara and other games. I went to the room around 3:00 and fell asleep til 10. Left the room and got some final shopping done. Managed to get a few small weapons and an autograph (the guy who does the voice of Gir from Invader Zim). I left there around 12:30 and hung out with my family. Came home and passed out.

Guess that's about it for my update. I would have some pictures from this year's ACEN but I forgot my camera each time I left the room so none this year. I'll be sure next year to keep the camera by me at all times so I can get some good shots for you all. Later days people. I'll try to write in here as to what's going on in my little mind.

I haven't written on here cuz I have been slightly lazy and also I don't want to be all ranty or bitchy with my usual blah days. But today, I'm a bit inspired with the snow as it continue to falls onto the ground. I think about how the snow has different periods of moods. It can fall gently onto the ground with no ounce of force or it can pound the ground with sheer strength of a hundred men. While my analogy is a bit strange, it's something that is within my mood.

I have noticed that I have been like the snow as of late with my emotions. I can be a nice dusting of flurries with my happiness or the current storm when I'm feeling depressed or angry at someone or something. I have also noticed that I have been treating some people very frigidly with either my mannerisms or with my frustrations. While the snowstorm of emotions may not end at this current time, I think that it will slowly diminish as the season ends and spring begins. By then, I will have maybe a new start somewhere besides being in KB Toys or being here at home living the 2 separate lives. Also, I probably won't be such an emotional wreck that I have been as of late.

So as I sit typing this blog, I look out into the snow and think back to when I was a child in the South Side of Chicago helping my uncle and grandfather in shovelling snow with my brother on sidewalk to the front and back gates. I think to that time where I was a bit more carefree and I didn't have a lot of stress in the world. Only thing I had to worry about was making sure my stuff was clean and organized and that I had my homework done in time. Besides that, I had fun playing in the snow making snow angels and throwing snow balls. Now I look out in the snow and I see a long commute to either work or school. While I still have that little kid inside of me pumped about the snow, I have to face the world as an adult. Not really ready to do that move just yet but I know that I have to in order to move on within my life to that next stage.

I have rambled on with a bunch of different topics here that I thought was gonna be on one thing. Guess I feel a bit better writing it down in a stream instead of pauses or else I would be second-guessing myself and then having an entry that makes no sense at all and is just random gibberish. Well, I'm going to try and get some sleep here people. Take care and have a good night.
