Tuesdays are tedious.

Well. Not really, they are kind of alright I guess. But still.


I just finished eating my wonderfully nutritious meal of nachos. *sigh* What's on the rant for tonight..... I guess corporate bullshit will have to do. I hate working sometimes. No. Not exactly that. I enjoy working. I hate working for people sometimes.

My job is tough, demanding, and not the easiest or prettiest thing to do. And little stupid things should not be able to de-rail my entire work attitude. And yet. And yet.

I am constantly amazed at how things work sometimes. I am left without all the tools necessary to do my work sometimes, without even product to deliver. Because someone did not look at stock. Or someone forgot to do inventory. And then I am sat down and asked what sort of things are going wrong out there, and how I would solve them. And then am told how I am wrong about my views, and what is going to be done to solve the issues. Solutions that I know do not work. Work that I have done, and that I have done efficiently.

How hard is it to count numbers, and place something in an area with like numbers????


I recently received a raise, and a token "employee-of-the-month". And while I enjoy having my own parking spot for a month, I am currently about the least satisfied with my company as I have been in recent memory. It is disappointing. I enjoy my work, I love interacting with my customers. I love achieving and being good at my job.

I totally dig the blue collar thing. It is something that I have stumbled upon in this job. It should not surprise me I suppose. My father has always worked hard, and I guess in some ways I am very much like him. But stupid things getting in my way annoy the living crap out of me sometimes.






Okay. Enough of that. I need to focus on other things. Um. Food. Exercise. Yeah. Not much going there right now. I am trying to start up jogging again. I used to do it regularly. My treadmill is dusty now. About the only steady thing I have kept up is my speed bagging. For those that don't know, check out RenoRattler on youtube sometime.

My goal weight to hit is 180. After that I want to bulk up some, and do a bit more weight lifting. Those days are far away though, I need a solid base. Maybe I will get up early enough tomorrow to jog first thing. Then again maybe I wont.

The first one.

Alright, so I'm not sure who I'm gonna tell about this blog, and who I'm not. So.....who knows who will actually ever read this. I have had other blogs in other places, but they have become somewhat stale. I am going to try and see if this one will work out or not.

I don't know if this will have any sort of theme whatsoever, or if it will just be a generic rantspace for me. We shall see as we go.


Today was my 26th birthday. I feel old sometimes, but the majority of the time I feel very young. I still like to buy myself stuff, cool gadgets and cars still hold my attention, and a hot girl will always gain a second glance. I live my life mostly optimistic, but with a very realistic tinge. I would say that I generally have a good grasp on reality, and where I am going in life.

I have way too much stuff, way too many projects, and have finished very little in my life. I seem to be very good at getting halfway into something with a robust start, and then never quite mastering it. Always been that way. Hopefully I will master something one day. I have always admired Eastern philosophies, studies, and disciplines. Bushido, and Kung Fu. Living your life day by day, and task by task striving for inner peace and perfection.....never quite me.


There will probably be a lot of food/exercise/health/diet ranting in here as well. I have been overweight the majority of my life, and have taken to yo-yo-ing over the last two years. At 18 I was 6'3" and 340 lbs. My lowest weight since was 191 at 6'4" about two years ago. I have fluctuated up and down from the 200-230 range since then. I can never quite get all of my health in order. When I am exercising I am not dieting properly, when my diet is right I am not exercising....Sleep and work are also never working together with my fitness plans. I hope to be able to discipline myself a little more, and set myself in my ways, in order to get myself under more control.

And speaking of work, I work two jobs. And enjoy both of them. My main job is very good to me, and makes me a little bit more than enough to survive. However, just surviving is not working for me. I want to buy a house. I want to put extra money into my vehicles(Another common thread you will see in this blog, I love things with wheels and engines....). I want to buy more guitars that I don't need to have. I want to have nice clothes, and way too many shoes. So I work 60-70 hours a week, and try to pay off my debt so that I can do all of that good stuff somewhere in the future.





I think that's it for now.......we'll see if this actually goes anywhere.
