I love my job at Zumiez. I do. As soon as I get real hours I will be even happier. Where else can you work that you can yell at your customers? Well, the ones that are fun like that at least. On my first day I had the opportunity to get one girls number, but I decided against it do to my plan to not get numbers for awhile. I got one girls number for my associate. Oh boy, I can see this place being awesome.

I was totally arguing with this girl who was shoe shopping with her friend. They tried on about 20 pairs of shoes between them and I was trying to help them out. My manager was annoyed by the mess so I was trying to keep on top of it.

I was yelling at the girl like..."Okay, those aren't even your size, why are you trying them on?!"

SHe told me to Shut Up!

It went on like that and it brightened up my day :p I told them to come back soon, they said tomorrow, maybe they will? I think she had a boyfriend, but how cool can he be?

I need a haircut and some new shoes.

I also need some more money.

I also need to finish off the semester strong to ensure I get at least C's in my classes.

I also need to do lots of other things that I try to push out of my mind.

Good night friends.

I got to work thursday, friday, and today! So I'll have at least 15 hours this week, and I'll make sure I get paid for the holiday meeting. Thats will mean almost a normal workweek...YEY! Hopefully next week pulls through as well.

I got some money today! I intend to put gas in my car and I made a hair appointment for tuesday. I still need some new shoes and a few shirts though. Also it's christmas time, and I need some money to get the stuff for christmas gifts for my friends. I have a kinda nice idea but its still gonna cost me a little to do what I want. It's nice being poor! You come up with better more personal ideas for christmans gifts.

I'm eating ice cream!

I'm gonna go play or something now...maybe check out new music.

I basically rock my job. I have had the best UPT(units per transaction/items purchased by a customer) today and yesterday. I also sold well above my goal, and yeah. I hope they deffenitly notics that shit. I know when Dave showed me my stats before he left today that my UPT was 4 and the stores goal is around 2. And yeah...I am a retail master!

Okkaaaay, work tomorrow...woot woot. I hopefully will get paid before My next bills come through, until then, fingers crossed...or faith...either one.

I have a hair appointment on tuesday...EXCITING! I like getting my hair cut, especially when its all grown out and has no apparent style. Some people say, "Your hair is in style."

But I say lack of style shouldn't be a style.

Lame kids...

Peace.

I am such a sad sad man. I have so many ideas and great plans for myself, but I am always held back.

My imagination is held back by my inability to follow through.

I think it has something to do with the fact that I have soo many ideas that when I start on one my mind already moves on to another before I can finish the previous.

In my head, my life is so fast paced and interesting, which contrasts what's really going on. My life is actually rather slow and impeded by boundaries such as time and money. It may be possible to attibute these setbacks to my lack of patience or ambition to acheive these goals.

The thing is, I have made some big acheivments, and done some things that required patience and hard work. I am just not able to apply those qualities to everything.

Now one possibility is that I'm too smart for my own good. I see my dreams and am immediately able to know thats they are just that, dreams. I can be a very big thinker. I am always thinking big, but in practice I am often practical and logical.

This has it's good points though. It means I never have defeating failures when my dreams crash to the ground, it also has its down side. I never feel the excitement of going for the gold, trying to make those dreams come true. Indeed, it may be emotionally more satisfying to try and fail at grand things than to always succeed at the practical and logical actions I have taken. I have not once taken that leap of faith to try to make a dream come true.

It all comes down to control and the fear of failure. I always want to know the answer before I ask the question, the score before the end of the game. I want to know that it will be finished before I start.

So what I need to do is come across something I am so passionate about that I don't care if i failed, something I can say, "It was worth running, tripping, and falling flat on my face just to see if I could do it!"

Thats what we all need I think. Is to love something so much that we could forget all of our fears and reasoning just for one chance to succeed. One shot at the gold. One brilliant attempt at winning in a world that seems to only hold defeat.

Yes, passion, desire, imagination, fearlesness, absolute infatuation to live out our dreams and the unyeilding love and strength of God backing us all the way.

What's a better way to live life than that?

"Baby is this love for reeaal?!?!"

I love that song.

Sometimes I am at a loss for what to post about. I think, well, maybe I just don't post today, but instead I come up with something. Even if it's about not knowing what to post? >.<

I downloaded this program from Real called Rapsody. I have a 14 day free trial, and after that it's $9.99 a month. It seems worth it to me. I can listen to basically enything whenever I want to. It's not like LaunchPlus where although I'm able to skip all the songs I want, I still can't pick which songs and artists i want to hear at the moment.

With Rhapsody I can listen to entire albums and download them to listen offline and such blah blah. For $14.99 You can have the set up that lets you transfer it all to Mp3 players.

I'm digging it, I have already gotten the chance to listen to bands I've been meaning to. I just hate illegaly downloading stuff. Its a slow process and unreliable. A pain to manage and ad all the ID3 tags and crap.

Yeah, legal is the way to go...choose Rhaposdy Folks.
