So many hobos

Man you can't swing a stick in New Orleans without hitting a hobo. lol. My trip was very fun. We toured the French Quarter, the French Market, the Calbito (?) a famous museum, had some great food and heard some awesome jazz music at the local hangouts and of course what trip to New Orleans is complete without a walk down Burbon Street at night. I think John said it best when he called it "Six Flags over Sodam and Gomora." I had lots of fun though and I would probally go back again.

New Orleans!!

The title says it all. I'm leaving for New Orleans tomorrow for what promises to at least be an interesting trip. This will be my first time there so I am looking forward to it. I'm still looking for a new job but so far nothing has come up. In the Warhammer tournement we are running I am 2-0 and advanced to the next round to face Upchurch. My chances are that good for me going into this but if I can get past him I think I can win it. It's weird actually having some confidence going into a game. At the very least I think I can place second. But we shall see cause like the old saying goes, it's not over till the fat lady sings.

I'm back

Well I made it through the big bad hurricane. Let me say that you haven't lived till you have delivered food to students stuck in there dorms during a hurricane and having to do so by riding in the back of a pickup truck. Kedric and I better be getting some hazard pay out of this. Anyway, my power was restored by 1am that same evening so that was cool and now tonight the internet and cable is back up. Unfortunately a power surge last night, while it was clear out and no storm what so ever, zapped my cable box so I have to get it replaced. So other than that and the screen door getting ripped off, there was no damage to my place, which is real fortunate considering the damage just on the block I live at. Oh and I got the Sims 2 Wed before the storm hit and I've been playing that as much as I can. It's very good so try it out!

There she blows!!!!!

Well we are busy getting ready for Ivan even here in Montgomery. My boss is a complete waste of human matter. She has no clue what to do to get the dining hall ready to deal with this. I got more done in two hours than she has gotten done all day. Luckly she won't be able to get back to town because of I-65 south being closed so Kedric and I will be running the show. Dad is gonna fax us some stuff tomorrow with emergency plans and list so we can make sure we are ready. I will be getting up early Thursday morning so I can miss the worst of the storm and get to work, which is probally alot safer than staying in this old house. So if I don't post in a few days don't worry, I'll be back. Probally...

So much better

I'm feeling better than I have in a long time. Saturday night while drunk, of course, I had a long talk with Cathy over the IM and told her alot of stuff I had been holding in since we broke up over a year ago. I hadn't realized just how much I was holding back and how it was totally eating away at me but I threw it out there and now I feel 100 times better. I also think it may have helped some with our friendship getting some of that stuff out there. It feels more like before we started dating when we were really close friends, and I hadn't realized till that night just how much I had missed that, so it's great having that again.

Now on a slightly less positive note, I can't stand my job anymore. I told Kedric that I'm gonna try to make it through this week and family weekend but after that I was quiting. Of course I also said that if Jo sets me off again, I'm quiting on the spot. He said he didn't blame me and I should do whatever I need to do. That was the same response I got from dad when I told him. As for what I will do for money, I'm not 100% sure. I think I'm just gonna have to take something, anything to get by until I can find something I really want to do, which could be iteresting cause I can't find anything that I like or think I would like doing for a career. Obrian said he could probally get me a job at McCallisters where he worked this summer making $9.50 as a cashier. That's more than I'm making now busting my ass as a supervisor. Also worse come to worse I can go the Best Buy though I hear it's hell there as well or I can go work for Brandue over at ALFA. The ALFA job wouldn't be tooo bad I guess. 6:30am till 3pm Monday though Friday, and no weekends. That's closer to what I'm looking for though ideally it would be 8am till 4 or 9 till 5 but that's ok too. I'm also going to go check at SunCoast and Gamespot at the EastDale Mall, both Books-A-Millions, and Banes & Noble this week. Of course one of the three places I applied too a while back could return my messages and hire me too. Who knows what the future hold?

Me myself and I

For once, that wasn't who I was spending the evening with. Instead I went out and ate at OCharley's with Cathy, Melanie and Heather. We had a pretty good time I thought. Tomorrow I'm suppose to play a game of Warhammer vs Andy at Visions at 8pm, and then later maybe go to 1048 with Michael and Gabe. Sometime tomorrow afternoon I need to do some laundry cause all my work uniforms are dirty. I'll probally end of reading or playing on the computer for the rest of the day. I will not be going to the Huntingdon College football game cause I refuse to support it at all. That's all I am going to say about that. Maybe I will do some more painting of my Warhammer stuff. Who knows?

Blah blahblah blah

I really need to just let go and stop trying to hold on to a slim hope of a chance that probally doesn't exist. I'm just making myself sick from it and I am tired of being miserable. I'm taking things too personally that I shouldn't and that isn't fair to anyone. And so with a broken will and heart I move on.

RPGing and stuff

I've been reading a new rpg book called, Iron Kingdoms: Fullmetal Fantasy. I think I am going to try and run a game of this. I would really like to play, but running one is ok too. It runs of the D20 D&D 3.5 system and is a mixing of science and fantasy so it should be interesting to play. I'm still hoping someone else will run some game soon cause I've been wanting to play for awhile. I suppose that is all I have to say so I will end this nerdy rant.

About time

There isn't much to talk about really, but I felt like writing something so here I am. Next week the Sims 2 come out and I will definitely be purchasing that. My friends and family will not see me for a long time. LOL. The next week after that the original trilogy of Star Wars comes out on DVD and I am very much excited to be getting that! Work still sucks but it has been slow lately so it really hasn't been THAT bad. I'm still looking for a new job though. This Friday Cathy asked me if I wanted to do something with her since we have barely seen each other and really hadn't talked that much since before school started back at Huntingdon. I'm looking forward to that just because I hardly ever see anyone anymore outside of work. And no this isn't a date or anything like that, just two friends hanging out. I'll take what I can get at this point. I have 5 of my Sisters of Battle from my 40K army painted now. They are looking pretty good if I should say so myself. I was trying to get them done for next weekend when I was suppose to go to Douglesville with Upchurch for a Warhammer 40K event at the Games Workshop there but I have to work the entire weekend because it's Family Weekend at school. I am however will be able to go to New Orleans with them for Pierces birthday at the end of the month so I think that makes up for that.

Back on the street

Well I got my car back finally today. A rod that connected to my battery had gone bad and had shorted out my battery so they replaced that and added some freeune(sp?) to my AC since it wasn't working right. The bad thing is the bastards screwed me on the price. That shouldn't have cost more than $150 but because I went there it was $229. If the bill is correct then they charged me 80 for the Battery, 15 for the freeune and then almost 140 in labor? What the hell? Looks like I still can't catch a damn break. Sigh...

Warhammer and stuff

Today was ok, which was a nice change of pace. Work was no sweet even though I had to get up early and ride John's bike to work because my car was in the shop, which it still is because they couldn't get to it today which means no car for me until at least Tuesday. Sigh. Anyway add that Upchurch and I were merrily drunk last night off of Gentlemen's Jack, I wasn't up to full steam this morning. No hang over mind you but still not at 100%. After work Upchurch, Gabe, Caleb and I had a 4 way greater powers of Chaos blood bowl at Visions and I for the first time in I don't know how long, won a game. It was only a small game, but a win is a win. Monday I am having a cookout here at the aparment for Labor Day cause I'm off of work that day. Should be lots of fun I think.
