"I'm Sick Of" Friday

Welcome to the first of (hopefully) many “I’m Sick Of” Fridays. This is basically a post where I make a list of the top ten things I’ve grown sick of over the past week. You’ll probably notice that there’s always at least one work related thing on here, but that’s only normal when most of my life consists of work now.

Enough intro, let’s move on to the list.

#10: I’m sick of… the phones at work. Is it too much to ask for the people who are calling me to know what they’re talking about?


#9: I’m sick of… digital signals on T.V.s. I would much rather have an analog signal that is somewhat fuzzy than a digital signal that replaces fuzziness with complete loss of picture.


#8: I’m sick of… the ads on Facebook reminding me that I’m single. I can’t even log on anymore without 3 or 4 ads telling me about local singles that want to meet me.


#7: I’m sick of… drunken people at concerts. Yes, I know that it’s more enjoyable for you, but when I see you wandering around with urine all down your pants afterwards, it stops being enjoyable for me.


#6: I’m sick of… every negative comment about Pres. Obama being made into a racist remark. Just because someone doesn’t agree with you on something, doesn’t mean that they are prejudiced toward you, Barack.


#5: I’m sick of… my cell phone and any computer telling me that my name isn’t a real word. No, I’m not trying to spell “Crypon” or “Bryozoan”.


#4: I’m sick of… not being able to eat Ice Cream without my teeth hurting. I hate sensitive teeth.


#3: I’m sick of… bills. Why does living on my own have to cost so much?


#2: I’m sick of… the printer at work having to stop printing in the middle of a job just so it can calibrate itself for the 5th time today.


#1: I’m sick of… all the companies telling me that it will cost $2,500.00 to repair and recover my external hard drive. Come on, it can’t really cost that much. You’re obviously exploiting people who need your help and that’s really lame in my book.


So, there’s my first “I’m Sick Of” Friday list. Hope you enjoyed it. Is there anything that you’ve grown sick of this week? Share them in the comments.

An Intro Of Sorts

Okay, as a first (actual) post, I decided to catch everyone up on my life. Don’t worry; I’ll be brief about it.

First off, earlier this year, I finally moved out of my parent’s house. I’m now living in my own little apartment by myself. It gets lonely, but I don’t think I’d do too well with a roommate unless we each had our own bathroom and such. Plus, my apartment is only a one bedroom, so there’s no room for a roommate anyway. I moved out back in April and have been doing pretty well since then. I recently signed up for internet in my apartment, and that has been wonderful. It’s nice to be able to go online without having to be at my friend’s or parent’s house… or at work. Hopefully, this will mean that I’m able to blog more often. (I used to only blog when I was at work.)

Currently, my life consists of: work, eating, sleeping and work with the occasional video game or movie thrown in there to mix things up. I can’t really afford to go to school now that I’m paying rent and utilities and bills and such. I know, I know, I should apply for some grants or scholarships to pay for school, and believe me, I’ve thought about it. The only problem is that I never really qualify for any of the scholarships due to not so good grades in high school. Also, I don’t really have much free time anymore, which would make school difficult, even for an online class. I can’t really afford to lower my hours at work because I need the full 40/week to pay for rent and such. So, I’m not really planning on any school in the foreseeable future.

Wow, that last paragraph really sounded like I was complaining, but I really wasn’t trying to make it sound that way.

Let’s see, what else has been going on in my recent life…? Well, I’m single, but that’s not really something new. I don’t really date anymore, simply because I don’t want to deal with the stress of it. The closest I’ve come to a date recently was at the Australian Pink Floyd concert I went to last night when a random drunk girl sat on me as a joke. How pathetic is that?
My younger brother, who is currently in England on and LDS mission, will be coming home in roughly two months. His release date is the day before Thanksgiving. My whole family is excited about that. It really doesn’t seem like he’s been gone for two years, but I guess it really has been that long, which is crazy to me.

It is strange how time seems to fly by faster the older you get. I remember when a year used to seem like it would drag by (probably because I was in school), but now, it’s already halfway through September. It seems like only yesterday my family was celebrating Christmas, and now I have to start shopping for presents again.

Well, that seems like enough of a catch up for now. If something else comes up, I’ll post it later. I’ve got some ideas for this blog that I’m going to try out. One of them is “I’m Sick Of” Fridays which will be my list of 10 things I’m sick and tired of. (Hopefully, people’s names won’t appear on those lists too often.) I’ll think of some other things to post on here to make it more than just a ranting or an “all about me” blog. Got any ideas for me of what I can post here? Share them in the comments.

A Blog For All Occasions

Alright, so remember how I was going to make this blog an online magazine about chairs? Remember how I did that first post over a year ago and haven’t done anything with this blog since then? Yeah, I remember that too. But, I decided that I should actually do something with this blog so that it’s not just taking up valuable space on the internet. I have my blog for my thoughts on dating, and I have my photography blog. I also co-write a blog about anime, video games and movies with my friend Koubo. So, I’ve decided to make this my “everything else” blog. This will be a place for me to share my feelings about the world in general, with the occasional rant thrown in there for good measure. I’ll try to avoid ranting about the dating world, because I hope you’ll read my dating blog for that, but I might slip and let loose some thoughts on dating that wouldn’t normally go well on my other blog.

But, I feel that I should somehow incorporate chairs into this blog still, but I’m not sure how. I’ll figure something out on that front, but until then, please enjoy my blog!
