I made it.

I made it to SC fine, it was a crazy long trip, and so far it's been a crazy long day. Hope everyone's new year is starting off great.

It is mine!!!!!!!

My quest is over, the ending to this chapter of the saga, I finally have a brand new PS3 60 gig. It was a long road involving a lot of time and effort, and of course a lot of money. ;) I spent all my remaining cash to get it, my friend works at a gamecrazy in Hyattsville, MD he was able to get one from another store sent to his. When I started to first order it I was still working. He procrastinated a few weeks and I called him out on it, I told it I know your doing me a favor, trust me I will buy it when it comes in. so of course I lose my job and it comes in not to long after. I did not buy any games with it Heck, I haven't even opened it, yet. I just keep hugging the box. :P

Special thanks to vamp who has been keeping me motivated to get one, I got it!!!!!!!!!

The 970 club.

I completed all the achievements for Condemned, which makes me a member of the 970 club, because Condemned only has 970 achievement points. I've been able to catch up on a lot of my games since I've been jobless, but alas it can not last forever so I'm enjoying it for now. Fruit that you wanted, tastes so much sweeter than fruit that you did not want.

I'm serious!

I finally have the seriously achievement, took me to 12,000 to get it, but it is done I have completed every single achievement for Gears, I just got it 5 minutes ago, I've been playing all night. a good 12 hour marathon and what a way to end it. :twisted:

My high score for days worked in a row ended at 35, as well as my employment at the hotel.

A new high score.

So I beat my old high score, which was 31 days in a row working with 3 16 hour shifts.

My new record is 32 days in a row (and counting) with 10 16 hour shifts and 1 18 hour last night.

And with no end in sight, how long can I go?

Lying about our lies.

So all the time when people make reservations for rooms, they lie about the number of people in the room. So a person will come in and say it's only him and his wife, yet end up having 3 kids, or another couple, in rare cases their whole family. And I was thinking about it and basically came to the conclusion that people, feel it's ok to lie in this situation, a little white lie as they say.

And there are other situations in life where people feel it is ok to lie. Now of course one of those is to spare others feelings, you find someones baby ugly, you shouldn't tell them. In our work lives we also feel it is ok to lie, in relationships people feel justified in lying. and since every human is different, the reasons why we feel justified in our lies are varied. Humans by nature lie, and yet we lie about our habit of lying.

It must be confusing to kids when we stress thee importance of being honest and not lying, and then turn around and lie in front of them. Kids are honest to a fault, they say what they think, like when I was living in Cali, my cousins kids would say to me your fat, and their parents would say that's not nice, (of course I'd say it's the truth ;) ) while just yesterday they were telling the kids the importance of being honest.

Lying is inescapable in life, but most of the things we lie about are not.

It may be Too Late.

If any of you read my blogs often you know I was trying to get a 60gb PS3 because it has the emotion engine PS2 chip set inside. Well, my journey has lead me to Friday the 30th, I get paid that day and with everything else in order car paid off, insurance, rent, etc, plus I got a big raise :D . That I would be able to finally afford a PS3, but the 60gb is scarce now, I can't find it anywhere online, and since this Friday is Black Friday, the likely hood that I'd be able to find one in store is slim. So it comes down to this Friday the 30th I shall search high and low, travel to the DC area, and find me a PS3 60gb, if you never hear of my search again, it is over, and I will not get a PS3 till MGS4, but if I do find it, I shall stand tall and proclaim "It is mine."

I just don't get people sometimes.

So as some of you know I work in a Hotel as a front desk clerk, and now all of you know. So there have been a few groups of construction workers that have been here, before I have. Now because this week is Turkey Day, not all of them are coming.

Now we charge by the person for construction workers, 1 will be a set price, 2 will be a few bucks more, and 3 a few more bucks plus we offer a rollaway bed for FREE. So one of my regular groups came in yesterday with 2 people, I charged them for the 3 days with 2 people in the room.

Now there was a big mess here a few weeks back, because a new group of construction workers came in here from a different company, and the owner offered them a lower price than what our current regulars were getting, and so as people do when they get drunk, it got around that these new workers were getting a cheaper rate than those who've been here. And so the owner lowered the price for the company that was here previously, and I stated to each of them that we would have to stick to this new pricing structure for people in a room.

So tonight one of them called to ask if they could get a rollaway for somebody who was going to be staying with them, the remainder of the 2 days. I stated they would have to pay the extra amount for the extra person which comes to 8.96 total, so 4.48 per night. Well he started on the whole we've been staying here for................ So instead of arguing, I said don't worry about.

So I went to give them the rollaway, and upon me giving it to them, he handed me $10.00 and said lunch is on me. I went up to the front desk and charged them the 8.96 it was extra for them and returned his charge, he said that was for you. Now what I don't get, why would you complain about paying 8.96 extra and then give me $10.00 like I'm doing you a favor? Am I crazy?

I'm mobile.

So yesterday I got mobile, I received my 94' Buick Lesabre Custom, from my cousin in CA, it is a beauty of a car, Gold, 4 doors, and only 72,000 miles on it. Now I can actually get things started over here, because I can travel more than 2 miles. :twisted:

Control

Thing change and re-arrange, and it gives a feeling of uncertainty, with so much currently changing in my existence, my feeling of control over it all seems non-existent. Which causes me to feel insecure, because control is what I'm use to having.

But nothing is ever truly out of our control, sometimes we just let go, to see where we'll end up, because where we're currently at, is not where we would like to be. See the fault will always come back to me, I'm the one to blame for my own misery.

NO, it's t.v., radio, movies, video games, that makes me this way, the evil bunnies are trying to coax me to come out and play, It's the woman that broke my heart, actually it's from the very start, mommy and daddy never taught me the skills to grow, lets not forget the government, plotting their plots with the evil bunnies.

I'm so quick to point my finger, to relinquish the blame, it's not my fault it's him, her, it, they, the evil bunnies wont go away, sooner or later you have to grow up or pay, or constantly keep making the same mistakes. I don't need your help or pity, that will do nothing more than instigate my excuses. If I keep falling down the same hole I deserve to keep losing. I deserve to keep losing, I'm...losing.
