Yay another update! I think blogging is slowly becoming routine yet again!
I have to catch the bus in about ten minutes to go finish the rest of my formal training for work. Last night was pretty bad... My partners keep telling me it's not my fault, that I'm not fully trained and all that other stuff. But I can't help but be responsible... I mean I am supposed to know a majority of the drinks already (I'm only behind two modules...).
Bah, whatever. I'll get through it somehow.
In other news, my nose is beet red. Haha, I look like a clown! Why? Because I snubbed my nose against my bedpost the other night. Don't ask how.
Hopefully, people don't notice, haha! Or if they do, I can fully explain my epic story of how it happened, lest, they hide their jeering laughter and disgustedness of my rudolphian nose...
I'd curse them, but I'm not a warlock ;P
Cheers,
Rio

A Theory before Work
I've got work in about an hour, and I've been thinking up a theory.
There's this wall between people that exists primarily based on culture, personal morality, ethics and all that fun stuff. People naturally don't like this wall. Because it challenges them, puts them on edge, makes them feel uneasy about themselves and how to portray themselves to others.
But! People can't help but love these walls. We're curious to see what's behind them. We want to see what angers people, what pleases people, what makes people tick.
So what do we do? We beat around the bush. We construct fake walls in a rather sad attempt to see through others. We can't outright say what's on our minds without being ridiculed by fear of embarassment that scrapes the innards of our geniune walls.
When's the last time you've told someone how you really feel? Like REALLY feel? Ten bucks says a few days (maybe weeks) later, you don't talk to them the same way, because what you said wasn't cool, or it wasn't right. Or you end up fighting.
I believe that we are innately lazy. We want others to come to us, but when they do we can't help but relish the thought that maybe we should've met half way. Which is why we reject opportunities that present themselves, because we weren't looking for them in the first place.
A great relationship, whether it be romantic, work-related, school-related, personal philosophy, religion, politics, whatever... It requires effort from both sides of the equation.
That's just something I thought up... Time to go to work.

From one wave to the next
I've got one last exam this upcoming Saturday and I'll finally be able to enjoy summer, or at least a little bit of it.
I'm scheduled to work 30 hours this week, and I still haven't finished my training. Nor am I confident enough to feel good about doing my job right...
I bought a small agenda/organizer thing to write down my work schedule, and I carry it everywhere with me now. It's actually pretty convenient.
I've also got into the habit of carrying Tic Tacs with me. Ever since I've gotten sick, I've had trouble breathing through my nose, so I've been constantly inhaling and exhaling through my mouth.
Of course, there's a lot of bad air and bacteria that gets lodged in enclaves of my throat while I sleep, so I've been dealing with morning cases of bad breath. It's pretty disgusting, haha I don't even know why I'm writing about this, but yeah I've become real good friends with my pack of Tic Tacs (and yes, I still continue to brush on a regular basis you freak, why would even think I didn't? Haha).
I've gotten my first paycheque from Starbucks, and I'm not sure what I should do with it. I'm thinking of getting a PS3 or a XBox 360, an Ipod or a new guitar. I've never had an ipod before, so it might be a nice investment. I've had two guitars in the past, and none of them were really great... I still have to pay my other friend back for my Edgefest ticket and Wonderland Season Pass though.
Ah well.
At least I'll have work to keep my mind preoccupied. I'm not sure if I want to do summer school... I think I will end up going through with it.
Now that I've got a (what looks to be steady) job, I could use a girlfriend. Well, no I don't actually want to use her, but--
Wow, that sounds so wrong. What I mean, is that I'd like to--
I'm just going to stop now.
Signed,
Rio
