1:57 am	You know, it always amazes me the people who come into my store. Its an amazing thing to see grown adults who can't manage to stand in line for a hour. Its really really sad. What makes it worse is one guy, who had his kid with him. His kid kept asking his dad who he was cutting in line...and that his teacher had told him that was wrong. Sad huh the resnet desk has finally calmed down, now we're into the ussual grove of diagnosing really wierd problems, like the courser moving on its own and files appearing on the desk top (wonder what that could be) anyway, life goes on. I'm still alive after a rather hard week, and next week doesn't look much better. the other night i was listening to the debates, and frankly i wasn't very impressed from either side. One of my friends put it best, a Democrat will tell you what he knows you want to hear but knows he can't deliver it, while a Republican is going to tell you what he's going to do, weither you like it or not. neither is good.

8:07 am	ahh the morning bah its morning, and i have a test in less than a hour. Its not a big one, but i studied for it last night and i believe that i am ready for it. Tourism is a funky thing. Quick vote here, are you psychocentric or allocentric when it comes to your travel plan, i think most of you would be surprised by that answer. anyway, tonight i am taking emily out for her birthday, because i'll be working the rest of the week. Also i found out this weekend i won't be able to attend my brother's graduation at fort benning. Halo 2 comes out the 9th of nov. and we're pulling full staff for three days, Kitts graduation is on the 11th. skill messing around with the whole 'what to do with my life thing' so i guess i'll be thinking over that mess in my few minutes of free time a day.

2:33 pm	when i grow up alright, so i'm trying to figure out what i want to do for the rest of my life. As you all know i'm getting married on Jan 2. In the spring, i'm actully thinking about doing school part time, working full time. The money would be nice, the lessened school stress would be nice, and having a job would be nice for the security and things like health care. Anyway, thats what i'm thinking. as far as longer term goes, i want to be a marine but i don't know how feasable that will be and the fact that greensboro is growing on me like some strange fungus. Sadly, if i do become a marine then i won't be able to stay with the friends and family i have created (found might be a better term...) I like my life here with the new bern crew, the chappel hill people, the g-boro crew, and people like TJ, Tyler, and elizabeth. I don't want to leave that all behind. a few days ago i think i found the solution, Firefighting. Sure its crazy, sure its dangerous, but its FUN! Anyway, i started looking into it, sort of dabbling in it, then i went to work on saturday, and guess what...theres a firefigther convention...and they all play video games. I got to talk to alot of them and their all very supportive. I got some advice and you know what, i really want to serve people and my community. Chock it up to crazy boyscout residue...i want to serve, but i want to be where my family and friends are. Heck, the whole getting in shape thing might be worth it alone. And you only work 2 days a week. anyway...i've been doing alot of working and alot of thinking. all i know...is my parents are going to kill me. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:46 am	i've been running back and forth, being in two places at the same time is a hard thing to do. I'm dealing with it, and things will be alright but it won't be without more heart ache. Life goes on...and then you go to german. (Comment on this)

6:59 am	anyway, i survived work last night. As much as I dreaded it, it really wasn't that a day. We got hit by a rush or two but it worked out. Today was just wierd though, for other reasons. See, we've hired a new guy, who's just learning the ropes. Now i'm no longer the new guys. Now i'm an experienced vet who's been through over a year of this. Its an odd feeling. I never thought i would be training someone at EB. Oh well, another day gone on my calander to crisis. (sept 1 is the next crisis day, the release of NASCAR 05...ohh i'm scared) life however is good. Right now i'm in a moment of being content and feeling like i'm on top of the world. Its great. Current Mood: content (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:12 pm	free cell no i'm not playing a game yet. I just got wireless working in emily's room running, not a particually hard thing to do. Its very nice actully. Anyway, this machine has no battery life so i had better run. Current Mood: accomplished (Comment on this)
4:02 pm	getting through the day today was actully a really good day. I woke up in time to remember i had a 1 page paper due, got it written and printed out, and into class on time...perfect. Class wasn't even half bad. I got back, actully studied a bit and then went to german where i found out i didn't need the 150 dollar book. Better still. So then i get to spend the afternoon hanging out, playing video games and generally having a good time. Maybe this is a little catch up from yesterday. Either way i like it. Tommorow will be good, go to class then head home for some good old fashioned rpg work. (Comment on this)

9:40 pm	not much to report today, i actully went to my classes today. I keep getting a feeling like something is going to happen soon, but i don't know what. Its that fear you feel when the sun comes up and you think about the future and you pause, and can't keep going. its been hard getting back into the groove of school, i spend more time working than i do in class. The desk is still being swamped, mostly with people who decide not to listen to us. me and em saw tj at lunch the other day. It was a random finding. The kind of thing you need to happen when your having a bad day. The new sushi 101 is great btw, and the lunch boxes they offer are decnelty cheap but really good and huge. i went to the sf3 meeting tonight, well tried anyways, it was packed with people and i can't stand games where you try to learn people's names. It takes alot of time for me to open up to people and get to know them, a slow process i kind of enjoy. Bah, anyway, its not a big deal. I had hoped that they had changed since i was last there but my old gripes were pretty close to still being right. I don't really care anymore, but it would be nice to see some fresh blood. lastly, i finally got my brother's new address, some where at fort benning, ga. Great fun huh. Anyway, i'm starting to send him letters but i've been told it will be at least 2-3 weeks before he can reply. I hope he's holding out. Current Mood: gloomy (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:12 pm	i'm finally done with classes for the day. I have alot of the same professors which is nice. I already know what they want and what is normally required. Though i'm going to try and do better than last year. I also worked at the resnet desk. We had alot of people complaining today about the whole windows thing. Ahh the lengths people will go to get their IM's and play web games. Most have no idea how their computers work, whats on it, how to take care of it, or even what to do if there is a problem. We had one girl come up to the desk saying she wanted to get her computer registered, we found a load of spyware on it and several really bad viruses. When we explained this to her she just looked confused and then said it was our problem because her machine didn't have a virus before she plugged it into our network, so we should fix it. Anyway, stupid people aside. Resnet has its work cut out for it, we're being forced to do alot more with alot less and with alot of angry people. I think i'll talk to randy about a solution. If you don't want to upgrade to xp we'll throw linux on your box for free. (hahahaha) anyway, i've got worked tonight and this will be my first night living in my dorm room. It will be fun hanging out tonight but i know i'll miss people and the feeling of being independent i had this summer. Current Mood: annoyed (Comment on this)

10:17 am	bloody...i mean rainy sunday its one of those days. Days wher you wish you could just lay in bed and sleep but its not going to happen. i'm working for resnet today, sitting in the computer lab and working the desk tonight. Its going to be a long day. After that i'm adressing the good old rc about how to keep their computers safe. Basic stuff but stuff people need to learn. anyway, classes start tommorow, school life begins again. So much has changed. I sit here in a dorm, watching freshman move into rooms that i used to live in, i listen to them discuss their majors. The only difference now is that i'm the old guy...the wise senior who sits back and advises them as to what departments to go to and who to talk to. Its a strange power, one that should be used wisly. What else can i say, i've grown up. ohh, and last nights party was great, we all relaxed and i needed that, i needed to laugh alot. It's been a stressful summer, but as the song goes, life goes on. so lets all just have a really great time with it Current Mood: geeky Current Music: no music, i'm sorta stuck in the computer lab...arg (Comment on this)

11:47 am	stuck at work so i've been stuck at work the last few days. This isn't really my cup of tea, sitting in a computer lab somewhere on campus from 10am - 5pm...just sitting and answering questions. on the lighter side of things this has let me get alot of work done on my upcoming d+d game. I've got the world mostly set out and i'm busy building up the history. Ah, you know your bad when you use your major for the purposes of roleplaying. (take that cartography) anyway...not bad for my first post (1 Comment |Comment on this)
