  • Some Construction & A Blog

    Hey there everyone. I guess you can all see that I finally changed the song and layout on the page. I figured that it was time to do that since I got bored of listening to "The Other Side" on my blog. Anyways, I wanted to say hey to all and let me know how it looks. I might edit the song again but I'm not sure on that as of yet. Check out the theme and we can go from there. Anyways, time for the blog.

    I've been doing ok here thus far. I finally got used to my new store which has such great potential to being a top contender in the company. As for school, it's going good thus far. Class is a bit boring but I'm learning some good information. Just need to make sure that I'm on top of things or else I can screw myself over really fast. Let's see what else I can talk about. I did have a date this past week on Thurs. I kept it secret from just about everyone. While it was a nice time and I had fun, I thought that the other guy wasn't interested in me. When I asked him what was up, he told me that there wasn't a strong chemistry to move beyond friends. I was a bit hurt but I'm over it now. I know that while he may not be the next boyfriend in my life, he will be a good friend that I can talk to. I'll have to wait and see what happens now and go with the flow of life.

    Well, time for bed here. I will try to write again soon. Just have to make sure that I don't forget about the blog. Later days people.

  • Update On What's Happening With Me

    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.

  • A Few Interesting Weeks

    So I have dealt with some interesting times with work as of late. Since you are all wondering what has been going on with me, I shall do a slight update on here. In the past month, I have been busy trying to do my best wtih school, hang out with family and friends, and also trying to find a nice position somewhere since KB wasn't heling me out at the time. Well, about last week on Monday, I was given the positon of a part-time assistant store manager out in Stratford Square Mall (out in Bloomingdale on the corner of Gary Ave n Army Trail Rd). Their expectation was that I would go into that store and one of the current managers leave there to work up at Woodfield. Well, since that wasn't the case, I ended up working last week out at Stratford (along with the fun of Thursday dealing with both Disney from 1-4 and then KB from 6-9:30). So after that time I was down there, I thought that I would be back at Woodfield as a full-time assistant store manager. I was wrong since the district manager said how he wants for me to learn from a store with a lot of foot traffic. He also said that he would find a spot for me if I was to help make the goals that are set daily. I can see that both as good and bad. Good in the way that I will be able to show that I can be full-time at one of the stores. The bad is though that my district manager can see me as being really strong n keeping me at Woodfield (which is great but would like to work at a different mall for a change). So with that fun stuff, I have been working this week as an assistant store manager at Woodfield having full-time hours even though my title says part-time. Hopefully I do get the full-time at Woodfield for a few reasons:

    1) I can have more money to save up and thus start planning to move out from my house soon.
    2) I have more money to pay off my bills more and thus getting me out of debt.
    3) I gain the experience of being a full-time manager and showing future employers that I was able to ahndle the demands of a management role.

    So besides that, not much else to say really. So I guess I'm gonna be crashing now. Night all and have a pleasant tomorrow.

    P.S. Will write a deep meaningful blog tomorrow since I have thought of a few posts that I want to write. Based on a few songs that have struck me as "wow".

  • Snowy Thoughts

    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.

    <Insert Your Own Title>

    I figured to leave it at that since I didn't have any clever titles to think up when I was gonna write the mood and everything else that I'm feeling. There's a lot of bad feelings that have been bouncing around within my mind. Mostly due to the fact that I've become unhappy with life in a lot of ways. It wasn't until last night when I talked to someone about it all (thanks Bruce for that, I really appreciate it). Let's see what's been going on with me.

    School's going ok thus far since I have been going now on week 2 with that. Things are slowly picking up steam and rolling along. So have to see what can happen with that. Right now, I don't know but I might be able to do ok this semester (even though I think the other way a majority of the time and I'm fearing of my many nervous breakdowns). As for romance, it's quiet for now. Would like for it to be somewhat busy but the tranquility is good for now since I need time to focus on myself and get better both mentally, emotionally, and physically. So I think this will be fine for me until I'm done with school or out in the city. Speaking of moving out into the city, I have been thinking about maybe moving into a place I can call my own with no roommates. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind having one. It would be cool to have someone else to talk to but I don't think I can be wtih another person after living at home for so long. Besides, the person who I would have had to be a roommate hasn't responded to a text I sent him a few days ago and that he may have blocked me (which I'm not shocked at all). I don't think I will be able to deal with that in person if we fight about something (it can happen). So that's what I'm feeling in that area.

    As for everything else, things are goin ok. Though work's still a topic I'm waiting to hear from. Won't be til sometime in Feb until I get the official word of whether I will be transferred toa  different store to keep my position, demoted to a sales associate to stay at Woodfield or something else. It's still a pain to wait for this news but with constant work changes, I think this is how it will be until I get the final word. Once I do, then I'll see what I plan to do. Family is ok even though they drive me nuts a lot of times. Guess that's all I have to talk about here.  So I'll catch you all later.

About Me

  • It's the random nonsense that makes me, well, Me. I'm a strange individual to say the least. I can act like a nut or like a completely civilized human being. All depends on the occasion and surroundings. That's just how good I am. That's all I can say.
