Ok, no internet for the past two days because of my stepsister being retarded and not telling anyone when she unplugs a modem to charge her cellphone.
Here is the entry I was typing when I got postponed yesterday.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, why hasn't someone kicked my ass for not updating more? Huh?
Well, here it is. Another X-large slice of life.
First off today wasn't been a bad day but it hasn't been a good day either. I woke up and got ready for school and somewhere between putting my contacts in and the car I lost the lens for my left eye. I knew something felt off by didn't notice until when I got to school. So basically drove the freeway half-blind.
When I showed up at the door for my first class I noticed a notice saying class would be an hour late today, what better reason to take the day off, huh? Yeah, thats what I thought too.
Tonight is looking like Im gonna be rocking out in the land of mouse (Anaheim for those who dont get what Im saying) with my work friends tonight. The way stuff is going Im fairly certain the band I play in is dead. Everyone is looking in different directions and this seems to have died a quiet death. In some ways I'm sad and in other ways this is somewhat of a relief.
School on Tuesday was nice in that during lunch the student union got us a concert with a singer-songwriter who apparently had a song played on Grey's anatomy. I couldn't care less about the show but she was a good artist and played some nice folksy type stuff. I also got the message from one of the career counselor on campus that to complete my credentialing I in my future will have to complete 2 blocks of directed teaching. This means full time UNPAID teaching for 20 weeks. This isn't gonna stop me but it did startle me some.
For the first time in a long time I can say I'm in a relationship. Everyone meet LOvecatz3. She is new to the site and already updates a hell of a lot more than I do. Everyone give her a good SG welcome.
Work is going well. I have now passed my year anniversary with Vons and have received a hefty check for that. I like most of the people I work with and try to do my best for the customers. I had a review about a week ago with the comment that if I was interested in being promoted I would be high on their list. I don't want a promotion right now but that was a nice thing to hear. On the other side of all of the positive stuff at work I recently had a run-in with one of my supervisors. He decided that while I have a 5 person line would be the time to reprimand me about something that is really fucking commonplace in my job, Upon returning to my checkstand the customers all pretty much said they hate it when THEIR managers did stuff like that, and the first one even said she hopes he gets in a car accident on the way home.

So here I am.
First update from the Cal Poly computers in this quarter. Cant you feel the excitement? School has yet to turn incredibly lame yet, but I will keep yall posted for when it does.
Life is good right now and looks to be getting better. Good friends, good tunes, I feel productive. I have come to the conclusion that late night trips to denny's with good friends that extend to the early hours of the morning are about the best things on the planet. You guys know who you are and know you have a permanent place in my heart.
PS- Last night reminded me of the fact that when people run their hands through my hair I turn into a giant pussycat. I hadnt had anyone do that since Breezey when I had my mohawk so long ago. -GNG
"I dreamed you up on vast dark coast, believe I see you walking towards me arms outstretched like a ghost. I want to kiss you but I cant. Down on the river by the sugar plant." - Mike Doughty
Update: Somewhere between when the tickets went on sale to the public yet it kept asking for my presale password and when I got back from work I lost out on my Van Halen Tickets. Well, more money to spend on other stuff I guess.
I had to drop my 3rd class today. I walk in and they wanted to add another 20 hours of observation onto my already hefty schedule of 40 in my remaining 9 weeks. Do the math and you will understand I cant do that with school and work. It was the right choice Im sure.

First day back at school. Good to get back into the usual rhythm of life again, yet Im sure this year is gonna kick my ass again.
Went out to the movies last night with the guys and we once again were smart enough to get smashed before watching Dragon Wars. This one was even worse than Shoot 'em up, like MANY times worse. Like video game movie bad, but without the emotional attachment.
Today is the yin of the yang I guess. After having an entire week of feeling like everyone was avoiding me or too busy to do anything I have today, where three people approach me and say I look familiar. One thought I was in a band and wanted to know when we play again. Im in a band but havent played any shows. I didnt tell him that though, I wanted to keep my rockstar mystique. The other two not only knew me but remembered my name. Apparently we had the same classes last year. I must have some kind of inferiority complex going or maybe it is just the human condition to go through life and not expect others to remember you for your deeds, either way it made my day.

Ps- Any long term readers of my blog can remember the Solicitor from last year, well he was at the campus again. No story this time, I just walked around his crazy ass.
Okay, update time.
First off, it was great to meet up with the new faces and the the regulars at the monthly drinks night with SGIE . Note to self though, don't go to a bar on the 11th of September again. Real buzz kill to hear the band prattle on about the terrorist attacks while you are enjoying your social time.

Doubt will be the fire of your delight. -GNG

To anyone planning on going to see Shoot 'em up I would recommend getting smashed drunk beforehand. Worked wonders for me and made the movie a hell of alot more enjoyable with the weird plot gaps and strange storyline.
Murdering a baby to get bone marrow for a politician for gun control= WTF?
Shortly after the theater let out a friend and I then were able to hit up the last 20 minutes of a Voodoo glow skulls show that was going on in Pomona for Free. Hell yeah.
Work was chill tonight. Got some Chinese food for the crew afterwards and just hung around for like two hours in the parking lot shooting breeze. Not too many people can say that about where they work.

So the crazy lady that flirts with everyone at the store (Including me) was apparently calling the store to find out when I came in on wednesday. A clerk told her when I was scheduled to show up and she came to see me. She tried to return a large bottle of tequila, we cant refund alcohol. I told her this fact. She smiles and hangs around for another minute behind my back as Im working. Leaves without a sound.
10 minutes later, a phone call arrives. Clerk says it is for me.
I never get calls at the store. I pick it up hoping it isnt anything drastic or horrific.
Me: Hello?
Her: Oh, hey..
Me: (Wondering if this is my sister calling) Oh, hi. Can I help you?
Her: Do you remember what day it is?
Me: Oh, hey X. Is it that day already? (Searching memory banks to remember that she said that her birthday was in 7 days, a week ago) Happy birthday.
Her: Did you remember?
Me: Now that you told me again. I gotta get back to work. See ya later.
I tell the clerk not to give out my info to her if she calls again and then realize she probably has about all she needs to find me if she wanted to. I tell various employees about the call to all kinds of funny/scared reactions.
On Wednesday I was awoken from my sleep by a call from my mom who works with my brother during the summer. She wanted to know where he was at. Apparently he had arrived at the office just in time to witness one of the workers having a heart attack which later killed her. That has got to be an intense experience.
on a softer note- Im trying my best to get used to contact lenses. I went into the optometrist for the first time about those and got all kinds of tests done to help with vision without my specs and generally baffled the docs with my "funny shaped eyes" as the esteemed doctor said.
It took me over an hour of trying to get my left lens out. Hopefully it will get easier with practice and repetition.

Wow.. I need to update.
Lets see.... Nothing.
Wait... Yeah, Work is alright. No crazy folk tales to tell this time around though.
The band is going along well, we should really meet up for practice more though. We recorded some of our stuff and posted it on myspace. Some jammage that I can really be proud of too, but the recording is coming out kinda choppy. Fo Sho will give you guys the url in due time when the fidelity of the track is to my liking.
What kind of secrets do you have?

Who the fuck came up with the idea of making Smirnoff tea? I was browsing the liquor store while I waited for a pizza today and noticed what I would have to assume is a terrible tasting drink that has all the health benefits of tea nullified by some tasty vodka. Am I wrong?
Tea Partay?
In better news, I may just have the chance to see a van halen concert that doesnt suck in my lifetime. Heres to hoping it isnt gonna set me back eleventy billion dollars.

Today was a good day disguised as a terrible day. cant say that I have had one of those before.
- Was going to jam with the band today. Didnt. Lameness on my part. Well maybe tomorrow.
Really excited where this is going. you see we just weren't syncing up the last time, but we are really making some massive steps forward from what I'm seeing. Fuckin dynamite on acid style rocking. Actually captured some of our session on video last time, cant wait to see that.
- Need to go smog the car. Not too hard a task to do, yet takes unconceivable time for me to fit into my procrastinating schedule.
- Registered for classes today. The biggest surprise about it? Only one hold on my registration. Anyone who has read my blog for longer then a few months knows just how much I fucking hate Cal Poly for it's class registration system. I have jumped through flaming hoops of bureaucracy like a trained poodle for some of the stuff I have done there. Today I had to drive to campus and pay an old lady 18 dollars for a ticket to take a test, not too hard. Actually surprised there weren't 5 more things to do before it actually let me pick classes.
- My Ipod which I thought was broken only needed some power because it was left on overnight.
- This didn't actually happen today but I might as well update. That Lady friend I mentioned a while back who I was digging on seems to have quit calling me back. No sadness, just disappointment. Life goes on.
-Came home to this in the mail. Currently listening to it and it makes my day.
Stay classy San Diego. -GnG
