Hello folks, long time no see.
Sorry I haven't been around to say whats up to people. Nothing really fancy has been going on, I have just been keeping myself busy. This weekend was kind of dumb...
Halloween was a big fucking dissapointment. My friend spent months talking about this Halloween party that we all had to go to, and wear funny costumes and get shit-faced drunk. Sounded great. Well thursday my friend told me the party was on Saturday night...WTF!!!!
I had friday night off for a HALLOWEEN party, a party on saturday is just a party because it is not on fucking halloween. So I sat on my ass, watched stupid movies, and drank jager. To be honest it really wasn't that bad, I was just dissapointed about the party. Sometimes I think I am better company to myself than other people are. Its all good.
The rest of the weekend was dumb. I worked a lot. I had a meeting saturday morning from 7-9, then left the meeting to drive a few blocks down the street to my store and open from 9-5
And then on Sunday I had to go to a big meeting from 12-8 and that was super stupid. There were numerous times in the meeting that I thought about walking out.
The meeting fucking disgusted me. It truly seems like blockbuster is doing everything they can to take away all forms of personality and self and turn us into robots. I spent half of the meeting arguing with the district leader. It was just retarded. I look at it this way..
If customers come into my store, I help them find what they are looking for, meet all of their needs with a smile and have a great time, they leave happy, satisfied, ready to come back again, I have done my job right. Period.
I never signed up for this new shit. I joined up over 3 years ago to a company that allowed me to go to work happy, and make their customers happy. My store flurished with me and my new boss (who joined on about 2 years ago) and was making almost double the profit from previous years, then they made all of these changes and we are almost in the red. It is bullshit. The only thing anyone cares about is fucking money. Humanity has taken the backseat...Fuck the world.
God, just writing about the meeting is getting me going again. Oh fucking shit, I almost forgot. On saturday at work one of my normal customers came in. Mr. Turner. He comes in from time to time and talks to me and rents a few movies while his wife is in the grocery store shopping. I love talking to Mr. Turner, he is a blast. Through normal conversation I have learned that Mr. Turner is pretty um...well off so to say in terms of money. Well saturday I found out a little more. Somehow we got on the subject of success and he mentioned about making his millions and learning from his father Ted. Fucking TED. TED FUCKING TURNER. Mr. Turner is totally fucking loaded, and I completely admired the fact that he is soooo down to earth and just hangs and talks. But then...
Like said, we were on the subject of success, and I brought up myself. If you have kept up with my journals in the past, you will know that I have recently been...um...enlightened so to say. I then made my statement that "I am a anomoly. I am one of the few that are completely happy just living, just getting by. I have all the things I need to be happy. I value different things." and then that motherfucker looked at me and said "I am just scared of success." The conversation got pretty interesting but I just couldnt believe it. It was fucking ridiculous. Somewhere in it I mentioned that most people view success in terms of monetary value, but I think it can be many things. In terms of success, I am 21, have self-esteem, values, morals, friends, family, music, and my lovely. I am one fucking successful happy motherfucker. Fuck you, fuck your money, and fuck you again. So sadly I lost much respect for Mr. Turner. I appreciate his honesty and the fact that he never changed his opinion once, that shows he meant it. I just feel he is wrong. Things are a bit different for my generation in regards to his.
Oh well. Like I said, I am happy...
Did anyone catch the Spencer Tunik special on HBO last night? It was fucking great. That dude is such an asshole but I love his work. I dont know how people can watch that, or see his work, and not see it as art. If you look, or listen to, how it has effected the people who posed, and see how it changed their lives. How it made them see themselves as beautiful. True beauty. Everyone is beautiful. Im glad some people realize it. Eventhough Spencer doesn't do his work for that reason, he still realizes it happens. His work has to do with natural and urban situations. Like the person being the natural and the city being not. There was a part of last nights show where he took pics in Antartica and the scene was the natural and the person was the non. All his work is beautiful. If everyone could just able to realize their beauty and embrace our differences and just bring everyone together...I am such a fucking hippy. Like said before, I am the new breed.
As always, I am rambling. Nothing new from me, just more pointless words to release the demons from my skull. Keep on rockin'

Why have we forsaken love?
Time has come to raise our voices
So rise up, and fight with me."

Corporate business sucks ass. The pub where I work is owned by an alcohol conglomerate and there's so much random shite they get us to do which helps no one, brings in no more money and probably just makes things awkward for the customers and the staff. It's just arsery, ignore it and work as you see fit. They can't fire you if you're still doing your job properly.
