Years ago I dated this girl, it was short lived for whatever reason. Not sure why, just the way it was. We met at Houlihan's in Monroeville one night, she actually went to PTI, about a year after me.

Yesterday I noticed that rusty wasn't around. After 30 minutes of searching I found he was up in the arm of my couch. Terrified of the move. I left

African Masks Originally uploaded by patheticboy75. So its been a crazy week...

2007-04-09T08:57:00.001-04:00

I keep having this dream, im in high school....and i realize i do not have my schedule. So i have no idea where my next class is. and to top it off, its usually English Class that I cant find, And i am walking around looking for it, knowing that i haven't done the homework or studied for the class. The English class part isn't always involved with the dream....but it has come up on more than one

So I'm sitting at work just got done packing ebay stuff....and just looking around the web a bit....and I'm playing Pearl Jam Vs. This album really reminds me of an amazing time....I remember leaving Beattie Tech with Ed Jason and Neil and running to NRM before heading to afternoon classes JUST TO GET THIS ALBUM. I remember they had to versions....the jewel case and the NEW case. ofcourse i

Phone Call #2

2007-04-03T12:52:00.001-04:00

So i got the call yesterday. My flight is booked. I head out on Sun. April 15th and come home Tues April 17th. All day interview on the 16th. They pay for my flight, rental car, hotel, gas and $25 worth of food per day. Pretty sweet. It will be nice to get away....but its scary because I just keep thinking, "WHAT IF" what if im offered the position, what if i really like it there. Like i said Id

Phone Call

2007-03-27T13:27:00.001-04:00

Well, Wal-Mart just called. I have an interview. Sometime. THey need to check some dates and call me back. So I guess we will see when. Its really weird....me a small business owner, fighting to save a town that doesnt seem to want saved, having an interview with Wal-mart....the ultimate non-small business. I mean I need to money, I dont know how much longer i can bear some of my current

So I was driving to work the other day and passed this girl walking the other way. Im guessing she was walking to school. Head down, hair in her face, all alone. Slumped over the books she carried tight against her chest. It was a pretty nice day out and it looked like it had been raining for days around her. How do i know this? Ive been there, Ive walked that way. Ive felt the way that she

This is a pretty cool presentation Chris Brogan's blog led me to... Chris wrote "Found this over at Andy Beal’s great Marketing Pilgrim site, and I thought it was interesting. What does it mean to us?some of those numbers are pretty freaky...the fact that things are moving at that rate really makes you think about the generations to come. and hell the fact of how dumb we as americans really are

2007-03-13T15:22:00.000-04:00

so one of those..."i never stop talking" customers comes in. Points to a camera,and states," i had one of those, are they worth anything?"Me- "some are depends on the condition and what not."him- "I went...blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

2007-03-12T20:25:00.000-04:00

So Ive been thinking a little more about the things that are going on around me....More and more I am feeling very Incidental. Like I'm just an extra in the story of my life. I'm here working and working as things happen around me. I cant seem to stay up to date with everything. I also feel like everything I'm involved with is moving beyond me and I'm not as instrumental in any of it as i used to

2007-03-08T21:49:00.000-05:00

So Ive been doing some thinking, I'm smothering myself. I realized this afternoon that my ability to really look at the store and see its possibilities has been stifled because of my inability to see what is going on....in other areas. I have not really gotten out of Bellevue in about 5 months. 5 MONTHS!!! what the fuck! Its scary, I am slowly becoming so trapped. I almost don't see any way out.

2007-03-07T13:05:00.000-05:00

So yeah this weather sucks.Ive been pretty frustrated lately, I have so much to do. EVERYONE needs something from me. At some points its way too much and i just want to disappear. I want to tell them all to shut up and leave me alone for 20 minutes....but i dont. thats not me. And then monday i got hit with a major realization...and I dont know what to do anymore. Here i am doing everything i can

2007-01-01T12:04:00.000-05:00

my2007 I have some high hopes for 2007. 2006 has been an exciting one but there were a lot about it that was very frustrating. But as 2006 comes to an end I have some really positive feelings about the year to come. So to make the most of it, I made a list of my plan of action for 2007 Work schedule – Working on multiple ideas for multiple places can be overwhelming. So I need to

2006-12-20T10:43:00.000-05:00

tag...of the blog kind. Ok so a lil game of blog tag is going around..i was tagged by Erik Schark of Something to be Desired.The idea is for each person tagged to write a list of 5 things that the average person may not know about you. Then pass the torch on to 5 others....mine will also be posted at my myspaceblog.ok so heres my list:1. I have very sensitive skin....certain

2006-12-06T19:51:00.000-05:00

tis the season!Good day everyone. Well my new friend Mr. Chris Brogan has a great idea to spread the cheer of the holiday in way that makes a lot of sense...it is more about the idea of things that may remind you of the receiver or you think may remind them of you, not just what they want. I really like the idea and im going to participate. The great thing is, it doesn't really need to cost that

2006-12-04T20:30:00.000-05:00

the past few weeks i feel like im back in high school....dreading the night time, cause night time means the day is just about over. and that means its almost another day....and i have to go deal with all my work problems.

2006-12-01T12:49:00.000-05:00

Pet Peeves....We all have them...I have my share.Right now mine is the Government.....I just LOVE how they enter a BINDING contract but do NOT hold up their end of the deal. And since they are the government you have NO recourse what-so ever. You do to them what is "legal" in the "real world" and you could end up in jail. thats just fucked up if you ask me.

2006-11-28T11:48:00.000-05:00

Why does everything i try to do seem to be so hopeless....im not afraid of a challenge....but i can never seem to make ends meet. im just getting so frustrated and scared about the state of my life....i really dont know what all i can do to make a difference anymore.....so many things seem to be in the way.i just want a chance...
