Hey guys, guess who finally got around to writing another blog? :P Anyways this is a recap of sorts involving some events that happened to me over the last few days, as well as some other things worth mentioning.
The Good
For those who haven?t hung around the unions with me, I got a job back in late May! :D I?m a host for a restaurant called Cracker Barrel, and it?s not a bad job at all, I?ve been enjoying it for the most part. It?s officially been about a month, so I?m getting some money in the bank towards future college years. I?ve also been getting some yard work jobs, which has gotten me some extra spending money. I?ve bought a few new anime sets (Haruhi-chan Suzumiya/Lucky Star Vol. 2), FF1, FF2, FFIV (all new copies for PSP), and a new copy of i,Robot to watch, and I?m enjoying them quite a bit!
I?ve also been doing well in college. I got all A?s during my first year, and I?m also a member of the honor society, yay! :P Of course, I still goof off quite a bit, watching plenty of anime and playing games, but hey, I manage :P. I do have a few summer courses to take, but they aren?t that bad, and they?re actually pretty interesting. One other amazing thing, my favorite band of all time, Motion City Soundtrack, is releasing their fifth album on Tuesday, and I?ll be picking it up! :D
Oh, and I spent a good two weeks hanging out with my best bud who was visiting, that was awesome too, and the main reason my union activity was a bit sketchy.
The Bad
One afternoon a few days ago, me and my parents went out for pizza, and when we came back out, it was super overcast. Then it started to hail/rain like crazy, so we hid under a roof for awhile, but then it started to die down, so we left. Unfortunately, it came down hella hard soon after, and there was almost no visibility with the hail smashing against the windshield, as well as tons of water flooding the streets. Everyone was hiding in their cars where they could, and lots of people had to be rescued later on by the fire department :?. We barely made it out, and I can safely say that was the worst storm in the entire 19 years I?ve lived here. The news reported baseball sized hail in some areas, but luckily not where we were. NO REPEATS PLEASE!!! :roll:
The Ugly
Remember how I mentioned I was a host at a restaurant? Well yesterday I started my shift, and it was going well, until someone told us there was a problem in the men?s room. As the only guy there, it was up to me to check it out. Apparently, some jackass stuffed an entire toilet paper roll into a toilet, and flooded a large amount of the area, with the soggy roll laying on the floor afterwards. My first initial thought was, "F*** me." But to be honest, I was still smiling throughout the clean-up. I swear, I'm just too damn laid-back for my own good :lol:. I grabbed a mop, continued to wring it out with my own hands, and lots of additional paper towels later, the mess was cleaned up. Took me a whole hour, but hey, I get paid either way :P. Continued to seat people, and before I knew it, it was over. I seriously don?t need a repeat of that, THANK YOU! :roll:.
Some extra news, I beat all three Ninja Turtles games for GC and had a good time with that. I?ve also been posting quite frequently in the unions as of late, but then again, that hasn?t really changed, but more so than usual I suppose :P. I?m just about at the 24,000 mark, happy about my progress, thanks to the friends who enjoy chatting as much as I do! :D Might as well end on a high note, right? Later guys! Here?s hoping my next blog won?t take me months to post :P.
