The challenge

This is the scourge of my current place of employ the multi line highly annoying always active phones that cover the building. Now my job is simple to sum up. I'm the fish crap (yeah that's right a Bass Turd) who harasses everyone in the building to pick up the line so our privileged clientele don't have to wait for our awesome goods & services. So yeah needless to say I'm none too popular during the majority of my work day, but that's ok the job is an acquired taste but I've got the tongue to handle it.

All I know after this job I'll never look at the phone the same again. Even when I'm sitting at home I dread the phone ringing. After 2 rings or so I often find myself telling my loving wife to pick up or auto-in if you will cuz your boy gotta make service level. I kid I kid, so yeah the phone has a whole new meaning to me these days thankfully this feeling will most likely go away in time.

Killing time

So just killing time until the shift is over. No idea what's on tap for a night at home but I do know it'll be more fun then this.

Watching a day go by over the top of a computer screen isn't as fun as it used to be. Oh well at least I have my phone my lifeline my tool for creativity & knowledge. Yes, as long as I have my cell life won't feel like such a prison.

Zero chance for failure

First post using Swype. Let's just see how it turns out shall we? So the day has gone by without a hitch and that's all a guy could ask for. Things have been improving steadily for a minute or two now.  Life is building to something good, I can feel it. Hope the good comes soon, not that I'm impatient or anything, but I just feel its been time for a change for awhile now and that goes without saying.  So fingers crossed people as I'm all about karma and always wish for the best for other people so I would hope they do the same for me

This is the crew

Being bad ass is what they do. So all these memories of good times & bad have come flooding back. It's amazing  to me this pic was taken like a decade ago, well round about that much time. These are some of the greatest people in the world and they'll never know how much they meant & still mean to me.

No idea if any of my good friends read this and its late and I'm feeling crazy so I think I'm just gonna name everyone I call friend. No offense if I don't name you I'm just listening people until my fingers get tired. I shall call thee friend:

Nicole Charles Ed Tom Kelly Sean El Elly Josh  Stacey Eric Jessica Jessica Jessica (yes I know plenty of Jessicas but trust this isn't the biggest name group) Nikole Jeremy Steve Stefan Brian Sherlin Sabrina Drew Dria Tony Toni Antonio Anthony (something about this name and the central valley I'll just never understand) Brooke Andie Angela Julia Julie Amanda Chris Chris Chris Chris Chris Kristina Kristie ( I have made my quota of chrises in this lifetime) Vanessa Vanessa Darin Isabel Shawna Anabel Alicia Wendy Daniela Patricia Whitney Tricia Miles Marc Mark Mary Krystal Karly Sandy Mike Mike Omar Sarah (and no not the hell bitch some of you were thinking of right then) Kristen Rob Tristen Marie..... and there are plenty more but my thumbs are numb

Ok not numb enough to let ya'll know I'm ready to be the friend I once was and more. I mean you realize I haven't seen some of you in 6 years.  To those of you this applies to we are in need of some serious Face Time.

What do you wanna do with your life?

That is the ultimate question isn't it. We are all here and doing something, but are any of us truly doing what we want to END up doing? What I mean is the life you are leading right now is it the same life you hope to be leading 10 years from now how about even 5 years from now? I know its a depressing fact to think about, but no matter how happy you are right now in your life isn't their always room for improvement. 
Personally life has definitely picked up for me, but I still have a long way to go. I need a major move. Stockton has been a good transition from the troubles of Vegas, but it's definitely time to move on and move up. I need a city, no more of this rural backwoods crap or semi country city suburb. I want to live in a place that I can travel down the street for food AND entertainment. I'm tired of traveling half an hour to get take out I should only have to travel that far cuz my local THEATRE isn't as entertaining or the 3 other resturaunts around me just aren't appealing to me on that given day. I want a place where my friends and I can actually debate about the fun things to do on a weekend without having to travel an hour to do so. Sick of being at home all the time because its too much of an investment to go anywhere fun. Yes its TIME for a change and I need this change to come fairly quickly. 

Almost There

Yes yes its almost that time. I'm months away from this showing actually meaning something to me. Unfortunately for me its a decade to late to use it as a road map to my upcoming age bracket.

 

Fun Things don't get old YOU do

You know what used to be the most thrilling thing ever when I was 20ish?  I loved staying up all night getting in a car and just going. No idea where to or for what purpose was just along for the ride and prepared to go wherever life takes me.

Now I still can do this heading into 30, but it's not the same.  I need direction have to have a plan set forth. What used to be a nightly adventure now just seems like being lost. Well either that or it would appear that I'm running away from my problems. Oh how things change as you enter a new decade of life. Oh well anyone down for a last minute road trip need to squeeze one out before I become to old a responsible to enjoy it. Ok cool let's all go, but not to far after all I do have work in the morning *sigh*

22 Fictional Characters Whose Names You Don’t Know

mental_floss Blog 22 Fictional Characters Whose Names You Don’t Know

sorry this is such a cool article. You have no idea how excited i am to know that Captain Crunch's full name is Horatio Magellan Crunch. Its all about the Horatios in the world hahaha

It may not be an end but its a sad NEW beginning

As my twenties come to a close I have decided to put into words the things I will be missing once I leave this land of the 20s and head off into the void that is called being 30. Don't get me wrong I'm definitely looking forward to being a 30 something I mean that was a BIG show um in the 90s HA. No I'm heading into 30 with my head held high, but that doesn't mean I don't realize there are some things about being 20 that you can ONLY truly due while being 20. Good times that can never be repeated once the 3 - 0 hits.

All this being said I have 7 1/2 months left of my 20s and I want to take this time to look back while I still move forward. So be prepared to see a bunch of these post speaking of things that are purely something 20 year olds can/have/continue to do. I know there are tons of things I have done the past 9 years that if I even attempt to repeat after I hit thirty everyone will be checking me in to the funny farm ( yes I said funny farm I mean we used to have them. Where are we suppose to check our crazy relatives into now I mean besides rehab?)

So as I try to type this I keep getting distracted by all these other responsibilities I now have. So there are already signs my 20s have prematurely come to an end. Sad to say they probably ended a couple of years ago, but not really. If i were a parent I'm sure they would have ended a long time ago thankfully though I'm still without child as becoming a Father would really put a damper on the last days of my 20s as Adulthood & Fatherhood go hand and hand. So that being said the first thing that I want to speak about that can only freely be done in your twenties is this: Being UN-attached.
Now that's not something strictly saved for 20 year olds, but you must admit its most acceptable from 20 somethings. In your 30s it becomes a quest to find someone in your 40s you are expected to be in the full swing of Family so if you make it to 50 still unattached either something must be wrong with your or you've been locked up somewhere. 20 is the time of freedom and discovery. You test the waters plays the field and enjoy your youth.

Top Android phones shouldn't be wary of new iPhone 4 - iPhone app article - Eric Benderoff | Appolicious ™ iPhone App Directory

pretty good article check it out:
Top Android phones shouldn't be wary of new iPhone 4

This battle never gets old to me. After spending some quality time with the wife's iPod Touch I have grown to understand the apple allure, but no matter what Steve Jobs and the boys at apple can come up with I will stay True to my Android and in turn HTC for 1 simple reason... I hate hate HATE AT&T. Until the iPhone makes its way to other carriers it will always have a major drawback especially with Apple doing away with its unlimited data plan. I swear they are one of the dumbest mobile carriers on the planet. Yes Sprint has its problems, but my unlimited EVERYTHING for next to nothing doesn't look to be going away soon so I am finding myself to be a smart man in investing my time into this company two years ago while others told me not to. Who's laughing now bitches?

Dream a little dream

What would you do if you woke up to the ultimate sea view.  Your home in a prime location and all your troubles have sailed away. No one around to bother you no other person to listen to the words you say. How do you deal with the loneliness how do you make the time go by. Do you sit alone thinking great thoughts or maybe you choose to go into a corner and cry? I know what I'd do for I'd simply enjoy the ride. Blue water Blue skies a fridge full of goodness and hopefully a chance to take the reigns and guide. These are the dreams I find myself dreaming these are the thoughts I often have.  

So I've had trouble sleeping as of late and as far as I know I have yet to dream. I hate not remembering my dreams as I'm certain my dreams are definitely more interesting then the things I do to amuse myself in my day to day life. I mean I love me some TV but upon waking up in the morning I always feel the dream I had just awoken from must have been full of some kind of excitement its just a sense I get in that half awake half sleep early morning state, but as I enter into the land of the fully awake I have no clue what I was just thinking while under the control of my sleep daze.  In sleep that is where I know I have control of things that in life I fight to contain. What this has to do with anything I have no idea. Frankly I've decided to write some more and I do enjoy a good picture. I found myself fooling around on the Internet today and I came across a site I had long forgotten EXPLODING DOG.com  was a site I used to frequent for the simple fact I found myself incredibly entertained by the ridiculously simple pictures with the most random stories ever. Leave it to me to find such randomness amusing, but I do and I always have. Heck without my passion for all things random I could have never enjoyed all the things I did in my younger days: Kids in the Hall, Rocko's Modern Life, Monty Python's Flying Circus. You see my frequent TV watching set me up to expect and enjoy all the random things in this life. 

End of times

Signs are all around us, and I'm not talking about the nut job on the corner with the cardboard sign. This weekend, though nice in my neck of the woods FINALLY, Central America had to deal with a tropical storm. After it was all said and done the area was devastated many have died and the most amazing picture I've seen in years had emerged. 
Looking deep into the black abyss that is this sinkhole one thought comes to my mind
HOLY FUCK that's SCARY
