Man, it's been quite a long time since I thought about updating this blog. I've been really really swamped lately, but I shouldn't complain because a friend of mine has decided to help me out with a project for work. I pretty much owe her a lot after what she's done for me. With that said, I've been very tired just because my work requires me to start at 3:30PM and end at 9:30PM. By the time I get home, I'm pretty much dead and have no energy to do anything. Except Sims 3. That game is addicting. I've only created one character (mine of course) and I'm already engaged so much. I hope it's not another World of Warcraft phase I'm going through.
In other news, I really want to get into Adobe's Creative Suite. I just find that it's such a good asset to have in today's workplace. Doesn't matter what field you're in, Photoshop/Illustrator users are on high demand. If you guys know of any good books (no not a 'Photoshop for Dummies' book), send it over my way.
I realized that I would not be able to get to where I am right now without my family, friends and God. Just had to plug that in.
There are things that I don't like to admit about myself, but I just have to speak openly about a a particular show I like to watch - American Idol. Tonight's show was just crazy! Now, I don't really care much about Danny or that rocker fellow, but I am definitely a fan of Kris Allen. His rendition of 'Heartless' by Kanye West was absolutely amazing. I mean I've heard The Fray do a cover of that song, but Kris' version was definitely much better. Even better than K.West's version, but don't tell him that otherwise he's ego will feel threatened. His version of 'Apologize' was not that great - just mediocre. I understood what Kara and Randy were trying to say about him doing something more to that song than just playing behind the piano, but hey he did his best. If I hadn't heard that song, I would be convinced that it was his song to begin with.
In other news, what's up with the nude/scandalous celebrity photos showing up lately? First, it was that Miss California chick, then Cassie and now Rihanna. I dunno, just an observation of mine I suppose. Don't get me wrong, they are very attractive in more ways than one, but man, I'm just not feelin' the whole 'invasion of privacy' issue. Obviously those pictures were meant for someone else. Guess a person's word of honour isn't worth much these days.
Feelin' tired even though I only had a short day at work. I have decided to get myself a DSi along with an Acekard 2i to download my games. I'll be trading in my DS for a $65 credit (and trust my DS is worth that much since the top screen is a bit flimsy) towards a brand new DSi. I thought of getting either a DSi, a DSLR, an Xbox 360 or an acoustic guitar for my birthday, and I think I might get 2 out of the 4 (one of them being the DSi).
Life is just amazing these days. And speaking of which, I just wanted to make an announcement that I'll be starting my new job either on the 19th or 25th. I'll be working the new Fine Arts Building for George Brown College Continuing Education. As for the duties that I'll be doing...not to sure, but I know I'll be taking care of the operation of the building. And no, I don't know what my position is either. All I know is that I'm getting paid more and doing a lot less than my previous job. Can't knock me down for that. :D
Well I'm getting tired, sorry but there's no Big Up Monday until next week when it's Victoria Day in Canada. I might be getting the condo to myself. Not sure, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that one. Party? Maybe a small get together with the friends. Sleepover? Most likely - if they feel like it.
Anyway, this is it for now. Goodnight mofos. Peace. Oh btw, here's today's Babe of the Day:...errr I'm kind of frustrated because I can't find a decent and beautiful looking BOTD. Next time.
Alright, so the main reason why I wasn't able to do a Big Up Monday is because one of the programs we use at my workplace had some technical issues. My fingers have been tired for the past 2 days typing non-stop because of these damn referral forms. I'm glad that the day is almost over....15 min to go and I am home sweet home.
P.S. I deposited my refund cheque....but I had to pay back my University for some fees that I was owing *thumbs down*
Recap: This past week has been a blur for me. Only because my pay cheque just disappeared just like that *snap*. I hate being a spontaneous shopper but when I see something I think I need, I just can't get a hold of myself. These days most of it is going to my 4x4 anyway - just got the inside cleaned and I bought seat covers.
I've been on Facebook tryin' to work the new layout...and it's not working for me. It resembles Twitter way too much and I don't even have an account. Anyway, MSN Messenger is pretty much the same case but no one goes on that anymore. It's becoming extinct like ICQ (though I know some people still use it).
I went to a party this past weekend and I must say it was pretty sick. The Insanes have thrown yet another party, big or small venue, if they say it's a party...it's a party. Happy Birthday to A&W, you probably won't be reading this, but just wanted to give you guys a shout out. I feel blessed to know people like them, good company and amazing family, nothing bad I could say about them.

Recently, I've been thinking about where my life is going and it's sad for me to say/admit that I have no idea where I'm heading. I'm just at that point where I'm at a major crossroad in my life and that I have no idea which path to take because the choice I make will change how my life is in the future. It's killin' me at this point. My parent's have asked me when am I going to graduate and I can't even give them an honest answer. Both my grandmas ask me the same thing on a weekly basis and it just irritates me because I feel like I'm the biggest disappointment in the family. And it's because of this that I feel disconnected with everyone who I care about.
I know I'm not going to stay long at my current job - no matter how amazing it pays or how much room there is to excel, I just can't see my self working my way up the corporate ladder. I'm not complaining or bitching about my life, just frustrated with myself I guess. I always thought that I was in control and that I had everything all figured out. Only thing I can do now is move forward, take the cards I'm dealt with and hope each day gets better :)
Recap: Went to Yorkdale after work yesterday to exchange a pair of pants I bought 2 weeks ago. Chilled with Checkmarc after that, ate some Bourbon Grill/Chicken, caught up with each other and then went to church for Youth Week. Rest of the night was slow, but being able to chill with these kids was worth it.

It's Tuesday morning at work and it seems like every website I try to visit is down. Not a good day to start off my day. The drive to work wasn't too bad, roads are not as congested as usual - gotta thank March Break for this. I thought about staying home today and calling in sick, but the cashflow at the moment is low- had to fix the bearings on my 4X4 that I bought a couple of weeks ago. On top of that I just recently paid off my debt from my trip to Cali. Harsh times I tell you, harsh times.

I'm excited for this coming Saturday, I'm not sure why - I think it's because I haven't partied in a while. I need to find where I can get veggie trays...where the heck am I gonna get that?! Loblaws and Superstore are the only places I can think of.

3:00 PM - Someone please shoot me now. I'm too tired and sluggish to function at work!
