Today

So I got a job offer if I get a CDL to make starting $600 a week with the city from one of my regulars!! Fixed Prophet's PC, from which I am typing this from now. Got a lot of crap to do today, and Christina has to decide if she will meet the terms or not, apparently she agreed and changed her mind, I found out the other night.

Trying to maintain

So I finally fixed the computer, after reinstalling everything on both Ian's and mine. Windows XP on my old one needed freaking boot disks that it took awhile to find, but then even longer, because it would say it made one but not actually make it so I went through the setup like five times. So it works though! Then I go to copy the cd just as a back up and BAM Brandon has used all the blanks that I told him to stop using. I went to breakfast in the bus, and saw somebody had busted out one of the door windows, which irks me of their jealousy of THE BUS! David had gotten drunk and written some off color things on the board which I promptly erased, freaking drama! On the way to work last night someone had put a sign below a street sign on Tennessee that read F*ck Route, that humored me. Some lady at work called me a racist, because she was a impatient bitch, ended up having to call the PO PO on her. Got keep up the good times though almost ready for sleepy time! The PC runs so much faster with XP though OH YEAH OH YEAH must be the different drive setting N.... instead of FAT32... NTSF... maybe? So I still have to put the case on and bring the USB drive back in here, but now the APC power Back UPS ES works!!!!! yeah for XP!! well more later, and Joe is getting me into Liberty for free tonight to see the movie about Che!!

F' Nut

Still couldn't fix the pc it wasn't done running its surface scan and then I accidentally hit the d button instead of the f button and bam it exits, even though the FREAKIN X BUTTON is what exits, so now I probably won't get it back to that spot until tomorrow morning after work! I did get my paycheck though, and oh yeah almost 500 soooo nice, plus a 30 rebate check and Brandon's 100 in the bank today, and then on the 30th 400 goes to the Best Buy card taking away almost 1/3 of my bill to them only 800+ to go! yay! *rolls eyes* well off to slumber until 3pm!

Computer Fixin

So the computer is still down in the main room, I hope no one touches it until I get home, the Scan disk will be done a few hours after I leave. That blows, Prophet came over today, dl'd some stuff, borrowed some stuff, learned some stuff, went to the library with me. Good times. I think tomorrow I shall go back to the library, looking for those books and such. This really whomps! I have to fix the pc in less than an hour or just wait until I wake up at 3. What an ordeal, I think I might not let them use that pc any more. I wonder if I can find a pc that will surf the net but with no downloading capabilities..... hmm... terminals....

ROOMATES!

so Brandon downloaded some bullship onto my pc and it has been running a comprehensive scandisk program oh for about twelve hours now. The harddrive is so large that the surface scan takes that long. He downloaded some programs with his porn or something, some of them the same ones that took forever to get off of Ian's computer. I am having to use Ian's because of the debacle. I had just gotten that one set back up so that I could use it and BAM freaking a. So It looks like I'll have to reinstall windows and possibly erase and start over on the hard drive if that doesn't fix it or maybe worse buy a whole new pc, well at least a whole new motherboard and processor. Man that hurts my head. nothing a little meditation won't help though. Ah time for the morning cleanse.

Ian

So today I was awakened by the phone, and told it was the guy I knew in Illinois. It tooke me a minute and then I realized IAN!!!!!!!! He said he was on hold with liberty for two weeks until they official gave him orders for school, then he would be in town for a bit in mid December. He had found out about the PS2 but I hadn't told him about the Probe yet, and forgot to. Oh well he can always borrow the geo, corolla, or even the bus. So now I can't get back to sleep, but that's okay; it was a nice thing to wake up to. He asked about video games and such, but I haven't really kept an eye on the market, because of the poorness. Oh well at least I feel good first thing in the morning!

UMMM in my belly

So first off before I get to the title, blogger is moving a wee bit faster today, HUZZAH! I transferred all my files from Ian's Computer over to this one and am now in the process of deleting the ones on his pc. I decided not to erase his HD though, just in case he wants some of that shiz. Plus that way maybe his dad can get rid of the spyware for him. Went to Dusty's and my mom's today, good times, even got to see Smitty! Now I have some wine and some food, got to make that last though. Brandon even already gave me 100 dollars today woo wee, maybe he won't get kicked out! Yeah, James might have some money. *does dance* Good Times! Made some compromises with Christina, but then I forgot to ask if she even did the first one yet. Hopefully she can keep up the things for four months.

Poor Ass Diet

so I'm on my poor ass diet, the most expensive part is the three lemons a day-$1.25 with tax a day. Good ole master cleanser, without the fast, but with the salt water cleaner as well in place of the Herbal laxative tea. Woo Wee does that clean you out! So I am pretty much using the cleanser as a means of giving my body nutrients and such. Today I got my phat paycheck from YCOA, so I paid phone bill, electric bill, and Car insurance bill. Huzzah so even if I have to kick out the roommates at the end of this month I can pay my rent! Hopefully I won't have to.

soul searchin

Did some searching work was okay, one crazy bastard, that's that.

The Head Pains

Freaking A! mind games, head pains, I swear to crap! It is so annoying when people who only want to spend time with you don't even know you. When someone applies their feelings to you constantly; it breeds apathy towards them with themselves being totally unaware. Everyone will die, including me. I have almost died many times. It is something that I have already coped with. So I have little worry or different feeling when people have near death experiences or even die. When you have already dealt with the end of everything you will ever know, how can a near end phase you? Answer: It can't. Offer a few words and then back to normal, but alas she who knows me best, still tries to puts her thought processes in my head.

Vent Cleaning

Huzzah cleaned some vents, cut out some sheet rock with black mold, changed an air filter in the furnace and wa la got free steak dinner! Bad day for Deanna though, bitch trying to get her fired over her college financing and forgetting to check a box after she heard back from Pell. *shakes fist* BITCHES! Ah but I digest.... heehehe off to work then to nap then to office! I feel good miraculously

la ti da

Really nothing, but I feel better, and sadly found the beginnings of two big ole pimples. *shakes fist* When I got home from work, Brandon had left the bathroom light on, not unclogged his toilet, and left the dishwasher door open with crap on it. Freaking A. So I posted a few notes: UNCLOG YOUR TOILET IT SMELLS! DO NOT LEAVE ME OPEN! and TURN ME OFF WHEN YOU LEAVE! Other than that I am ready for bfast at 8am.

Oops

So I accidentally fell asleep, missed going to the office, lunch with my mom, and anything else I was supposed to do until now.... So I have class and then work. I had Brandon sign an Official Notice of how he was violating his lease today and that he was under grounds for eviction if he didn't start keeping his music down, cleaning, paying his rent on time, and a myriad of other things. So good times my cold is no longer nose running, just a cough, so hopefully only one more day. I had a notice on the bus today, I have to park it on the street now, g.d. Mortgage company got a new insurance company for the back lot, and now I can't park there anymore. What a good waking up... or not, but I am going to my mom's on Wednesday at 5 ish for early food.

FireBush! site update

I decided to go ahead and update my FireBush! page, well at least the Wheels section, the Current Favorite Songs, 10 bands to listen too, and some of the shoutouts I think... I added... three? Oh well that was good times now just a few hours until the office opens and I can get my money! Then lunch... who knows maybe I'll update a few more times blog wise! http://james.firebush.net

Bus Riding joys

So my roommate needed to catch a train with his boy from Hutch and then by the time that we got there their train had already come and gone. I had taken them down the station in the bus, so I took them for a complementary cruise in the bus down Massachussetts with the Funk a blaring much to their delight and cheering up. I had contemplated going out in the bus tonight anyways and that was my excuse. Good Times.

Good Times

Class tonight was okay, Sensei Jonathon was sick, so his mom, Sensei Judy, basically taught class for him. Student who were at class who had gone to tournament told of an awesome time. That made me happy. I am increasingly noticing how poor I am so, tomorrow I guess I will be at the office first thing to get my paycheck. I am going to lunch with me mum. I don't know where though. I guess I should probably sleep tonight then, instead of just napping.... eh maybe napping. Testing is coming up really really soon! I have a bit more to teach them at all locations, so I hope I get all of that in. The kids for the most part try really hard. I wish I wasn't so poor. I need to talk again with David tomorrow about his boss' check bouncing. Especially since it is so close to rent being due as well as car insurance. I also need to talk to Brandon about cleaning his shit up and not eating all of my food. Speaking of food I have some in the refrigerator so I am off!

Feeling Better

So my ankle is feeling near tip top, my cold is fading fast thanks to my concoction of herbs and such, and my right hand is only hurting when I bend my fingers back or when they are more than 90° forward. Huzzah, now if this will clear up by Thursday night class I would be quite suprised, but hopefully it will be completely gone by Saturday.

Slow

Freaking A! Blogger is so slow. It took five minutes for the create page to load, and I am on High Speed, I looked at so many other pages in other windows. Tonight was fun, one of the parents took some pictures at tournament and broght me in some copies. That was wicked, some picts of me flying through the air, my line and the break that cut a guys face, about half a second before the board came down and cut him. My last class is getting kind of rowdy, I think next semester I will have to change my Friday night class times. Green, Blue, and Purple I think 6-6:45, Sparring 6:45-7:30, Orange and Above 7:30-8:30, and then Weapons 8:30-9:00, is probably how that is going to have to be, and Wednesdays stay the same.

Better and Worse

The cold is getting better, the ankle and hand were about the same, and my nose is healed. Then I check online for my bank statment, and David's boss' check bounced, so there goes 260 bucks until his boss gives him a new check. So I am f'd in the A at least 'til Friday.

Tournament

So I am injured after a hard day at tournament, my hand mostly. I hurt it doing a break, that the holder didn't hold correctly, like almost all the other ones. My ankle is also hurt from the demo, and standing all day, then going to work. I have back pain of course from bending over for most of the fourteen hours, seeing as the kids are shorter than myself. I was passing out at work, because I was so bloody tired. Here shortly I will go with my nearly double knuckle size on my right hand.

Work

Off to work from work, what crap it sux. then slight nap, work, nap, tournament, work! )!(@*#^&$&!@*()#$!@(#*)_

Political Reform

The easiest way to enact political reform is to require your representatives to pass a law that they never get to vote for their own raises, but that the public must decide as we are their bosses, and that contrary to the current predicament that California is in, politicians cannot accept gifts from corporations, nor any contributions that do not go directly towards a campaign, e.g. if they aren't getting ready to or actual campaigning they cannot accept money. Members of the National Congress once elected receive a paycheck for the rest of their lives, after one term, therefore we must ask ourselves why do they serve multiple terms? Is it because they care about their constituents so much that they are trying to make things better for them, or is it that unlike what they tell the IRS special interests, corporations, and lobbyist give them a bigger paycheck and more incentives to be on their side than as a US congressman? Campaign finance reform as was seen in the last election has huge loop holes, how many of your congressman are lawyers? How was this not noticed? Morals, the last election, exit poles show voters, voting with morals on their mind, then why do we not teach ethics in schools? Why are our politicians more corrupt than even our corporations? How can a nation allow the oil industry to buy up the patents on engines designed to give hundreds of miles to the gallon? How can we not allow solar vehicle to be registered? Why are our Earth friendly ideas shot down in favor of more polluting ones?

The answer to many questions is money and apathy.

Why aren't you forcing your voice to be heard?

Vote McCrory

Veteran's Day

Well even though it was Veteran's Day, which I forgot until I was at St. Joe where there were signs, I checked the mail three times, and had one hundred students in attendance, oh yeah. My Retention is over 85% but still I am number 6 out of 35 instructors. *snaps fingers* darn! Hopefully I get number one on raffle. The new guy at the office warehouse has screwed up so many of my orders it's insane! I have so many negatives due to him. *shakes head* Freaking A! Tournament shall be fun I hope though!

Talking

Well since my roommate is rarely home when I am and I need to tell him things about rent and his needing to pay me g.d. money, I am going to have to settle with leaving him a note. So yesterday Prophet and I went to Best Buy, bought him a fancy thing for his mp3 player to play through the radio and receive power from the cigarette lighter and a hands free thing for his home phone, and bought me Farenheit 9/11 and Supersize Me. He was quite esctatic, and possibly will come to lunch with me mums and me tomorrow. Work sux. That's all about that. So I accidentally fell asleep yesterday and was almost late to class, but Deanna called me and I made it just in time. HOORAY! That is the first time I was late to that class EVER! I felt really bad. Only a few people to call though about missing last nights class, I was able to drop more people from the roster who weren't there last night, seeing as they were absent four times in a row. Also I saw one student and learned that he had basketball practice on Wednesdays and that was why he wasn't there. Hopefully tonight goes smoothly up in St. Joe. Well I think that is all for now.

The Bus

So there was this problem with the bus the other day right.... randomly, due to the cold then hot weather combined with the angle of the wire on the terminal one of my connector wires on the batteries broke. Today I fixed that, new cable and I bought the right nut for a bolt that was missing one in the instrument panel. Found out where the blinker was messed up, charged up the batteries, and I put an in dash MP3 player in there, now all I need is a freaking antenna. So after all that I cruised around, stopped by the T-Bell and said hola to Yssouf, haven't talked to him in a few months, that was good times. Came home called up Prophet, and now we off to Best Buy to help my brother out. With echoes of Funk ringing in my head.

Demostration

So come to find out I am doing a board breaking demostration on Sunday, today being the first time that I had heard about it. I received all of my Wednesday night raffle at the office, good times. I went ahead and called all of my students who were absent and all the parents that were home were happy that I had called. So now I have to come up with a breaking sequence for Sunday too.

alright

So this week I get the joys of working 54 hours at the gas station, working a 14 hour day at the tournament(which will be followed by a 12 gas station shift), and my three nights of karate class. I will be so g.d. tired by this weeks end, and now I will be working full time at the gas station. So for quite some time I will have no life, not like I really do now. Oh well guess I shall run on up to the office now.

Finally

So my roommates finally paid for rent almost a week late, but my credit card company jipped me on my bill, and switched the numbers to credit my purchases. So now I have to fight the late charges. I have two accounts with them and one had 75 left and the other 56 so I charged both of them for the respective amounts and they just charged it to one of them. Dirty bastages. Oh well monday they are getting like 500+ at midnight so I don't have to worry about it either way. However, this gives me 30 dollars until I get paid Friday, and 200 of that goes to my loan.

Woo Who

I found forty-five dollars in my coat tonight going to class. At least some good luck, so I decided that I need to give ye ole Corolla a Radiator flush, because man it gets really close to the red on the temp gage, but luckily it didn't. I think tomorrow I shall go out a drinking just for good times.

Sleep Deprivation

Man I am always tired I really need to sleep. I slept for like 10 hours, but my body still wants to sleep. So I showered and did paperwork from last nights karate class. Then I did tonight's lesson plan. I am thinking that it's more along the lines of me needing to eat properly. So I hope my roommates pay me on time. I decided to give them until tomorrow to get me rent even though it was due monday, but if not I will charge them the late fees.

Tonight there's gonna be ass whoopin somewhere in this town

Whoever the mofo is that stole my mixer and Ian's PS2 look out bitch, if I find you I will beat you 'til you wish you were dead or getting your fudged packed in prison.

Yikes

So I had to have a sit down talk with my boss man about karate and missing Saturday, because I thought Christina was leaving helly earlier than she did and didn't end up waking up until about 11:30pm. That really sucked. Come to find out the secretary went ahead and had her orange belt daughter start teaching class, expecting me to be there soon, and then it all was down hill, she got mad, class let out early, she let them go without parents... oh man did that talk suck. So I feel like a total jackass now. I did give those who were voting or going to vote a free drink this morning though. If only people continued to care about politics throughout the year.
