Well, today was my last day of work at Home Depot and it went pretty much like any other day except for a few small differences. I didn't punch out for my lunch break (I thought it was a nice going-away present), I found ten dollars in the parking lot (another nice present), an associate tried to convert me to Jehovah's Witness (I don't think this ( Read more... )

I hate that 8 am shift, but you know what I hate even more? Working it two days in a row. I was pretty exhausted by the time 5 o'clock rolled around this afternoon. Yesterday was very busy for me. One of the guys called in sick so I was by myself, what's new? On the bright side, I only have one day left of working, which means that I have been ( Read more... )

I had this wonderful idea for a marching band show while I was at work today. This goes into the same catergory as the poem I wrote once while I was at work, so it shouldn't surprise you that I had enough time to think about it.

It would be called "Eruption", and it would start off with the entire band scattered evenly across the field, and they ( Read more... )

It's the home stretch now, folks. It didn't really sink in until I started working today that there are only five days left of my temporary employment status, and then I'm done. It's funny when you look back and it seemed to go by so slow but now that it's almost over it seems to have gone really fast. It was painfully boring today. In the entirety ( Read more... )

Dad and I went golfing at Highland Hills today. I thought I would have played horribly because I haven't played in about a year but I actually played really well by my standards. There were some drunk people out there, which is always funny to watch. I wonder what it is about golf that makes people want to get hammered? Anyway, I digress. After ( Read more... )

Yes, the time we wait for all year is finally upon us, more exciting than Christmas, better than your birthday, much more interesting than anything you've ever done, it's time for the Randi, Andy, and Brian Cedar Point trip!

Let's see, we rode the Wicked Twister first, my favorite ride there. Then we rode the MaxAir, which always seems scary. After ( Read more... )

I sit here at my computer and I look up at my bookshelf and see seven books that have more or less been the most significant books I have ever read or may ever read. To me, they hold great personal significance. I remember when mom brought home the first one from the bookstore and I took one look at it and said "It looks too long." I was eleven at ( Read more... )

Wow! What an exciting day it's been. First off, Ashleigh drove me down to Lincoln Park so we could have some Lisa, Ashleigh, and Brian time. We almost died a couple of times on the way down there but otherwise it was an uneventful trip.  When we got there Lisa gave us a tour of the house and she had this window the overlooked the street and I ( Read more... )

So I was at work for like 20 minutes when I think to myself "Hey, where did the sun go?" and I look behind me and I see this giant blackness and the rain started sweeping across the parking lot. I ran under the lumber overhang but even that wasn't good enough. The rain was coming sideways, quite literally. The lightpoles were swaying back and forth ( Read more... )

Our Cedar Point trip has been delayed a week. Apparently the forecast in Sandusky called for a 70% chance of thunderstorms. So we'll go next week instead. Mom and I went to the mall this morning and I got a new cable for my iPod so I can use it in the car again. My other one wasn't working so well anymore. We also went to Kohl's, my least favorite ( Read more... )
