well I found out today that I get a 41 cent raise next month...w00t rakin in the dough, the bread, the cheese, the dead presidents, the cabbage, the green...eh you get the picture.




Hey James..........did you ever figure out how to spell that rasberry sound you make with your tongue and lips?

Oh yeah......some paint thinner and that product called Goof Off normally cleans up all the messes I make while painting with grandpa. Food for thought........

well I have not typed a decent blog in a while so I guess I will type one now...lets see where to start...um friday lets start there...yeah wake up at 4 in the morn...get ready for work and forget my hat at home...yeah it was already starting...one of those shitty days that you would give your left arm to end...but oh no, I would not be so lucky...got to work and I did not have my milk so I had to buy one to drink during break...well anyway I am getting ready to for actual work...I have to put on my belt, and my safety glasses...so the buzzer rings and I have to get going, but I forget my water jug...so I have to walk all the way back to the factory shipping office, which is pretty far away from where I actually have to do my work. so after I finally get to start I get making boxes like always, thinking to myself...man this is a really shitty day...and I bet it could only get worse...and believe me it did...at about 9:30 the supervisor calls me into the lunch room with my "partner in canning"...the machine operator...it turns out that he is complaining that I dont help him out enough...what I guess happened is that the other supervisors approached him and asked him why he was not putting out as much paint as the rest of the machine operators...and you know what that bastard did...he just blamed me...which is screwed up because if he would have told me to do something I would have, I dont have E.S.P. dammit...so now I have to get the cans for my machine operator, which is another long story I dont feel like going in to. Yeah so I was really pissed after that so I told Lupe (my machine operator) that if he wanted me to get the cans that he should have told me instead of getting the damn supervisor to tell me, what a little backstabbing biotch...yeah so that was pretty much friday...I think I blocked out the rest...it was just a really shitty day...so saturday I went to the DMV and got my permit...but I found out today that I cant drive until my mom gets me insurance, and I know that she does not want to pay a lot of money for it...so I guess if it costs to much I am pretty much screwed again and cant get my license, so basically I am stuck again which kinda pisses me off because I actually want to get my friggin license now, but I can't do anything...arggh...sunday steph came out, we went shopping at lake elsinore...an outlet so steph was happy although she did not want to drive out here, I dont blame her I would not want to drive out here to see me either...but she got a free ride to the mall...I bought some plastic drinking glasses, they were a dolla' each, but they were on sale...fiddy percent off (I'm soooo ghetto...w00t, wicky wicky bomp shicka wow waw :]) so yeah I got them for fiddy cents each so I bought eight for fo dollas. that was all I bought, steph got some other stuff...when we came back we went to best buy and I got some 40x CD-R for free with rebates and such...and my steponie bought me a cordless gamecube controller for my burfday...YEAH...thank you steph!! :] it was an early gift...we also stopped by seven eleven and got some slurpees...when we got home my dad and steph had some fun wrapping my gift..they probably spent half and hour or more wrapping it in newspaper, masking tape, duct tape, zip ties and twine...yeah its a normal thing in my family to do stuff like that. well I am some what a professional at opening things wrapped in such a manner...it took me ten minutes to unwrap the thing with my bare hands...fun was had by all. ok so this brings me to today...just another boring work day...move paint...whoopdeedo. after lunch a guy on a forklift knocked over about half a pallet of paint cans sending red paint everywhere...luckily I was not there, but we had to clean all that paint up...it went all over...the floor, other pallets of paint, unused lids and cans, the canning machine...it was a pretty big mess...and this is some of the most difficult paint to clean up to...the name of the paint TUFF-FLOOR, its meant to be used on the floor, and its not meant to come up off of the floor...so yeah it was a pain...ok me go now...leights.

well I am back home after spending the weekend at my grandmas to hang out with steph...since she cant exactly drive out to see me all the time, and since I cant drive (as of this moment, I am trying to take care of that)...well steph basically said all that we did this weekend...I did not get to spend the whole weekend with steph because april's burfday party was on sunday, so our day got cut in half...I went to game stuff to go see if charlie was there, but he was not, there was only the guy who works there, and he is the one that I dont really know, so I just browsed and left thinking to myself "what a waste...now I have to walk all the way back home" the walk back was not that bad, it gave me some time to myself without anybody around, I got to think about life and stuff like that, the walk seemed to go by faster than normal. well anyway, lemme rewind a tad...on saturday steph had to watch her cousins since her "crazy" uncle, his wife, stephs mom, and grandma went to go gamble. nobody won anything really, but I could tell that stephs uncle really lost because of his demeanor, he seemed kinda grumpy. but the day with stephs cousins was fun...kinda...its not exactly what I had in mind for a weekend with steph, but it was not at all bad...stephs cousins have the same basic personality as her, like she has been training them for a while. they drug me into tons of stores...it was ok as long as I was with my steph...oh yeah I also found hot shots part duex, its a hilarious movie, it was really cheap too, it was on the sale table...like 5 or 6 bucks...oh yeah and steph bought me a sanrio pencil box, it has badtz-maru on it..I told her the story of my old pencil box that I had when I was younger, it was the same design just a different character, but it was stolen, and to this day I am still kinda bitter about it (just like that bastard that stole my pink elephant pogs...those were my favorite ones you lousy POS.) but steph bought me one to replace the one that was stolen (thank you steponie :]) I am going to use it of course, in fact it is being used right now. on sunday when I only got about a quarter day with steph since somebody was late ahem and then had to leave early...ahem...its ok she had a lot of tie ups that led to her being late that she did not have control of...well when she did get to me we hung out for a bit then we walked to the square and I went looking for shoes and sunglasses since mine are really screwed up now...my sunglasses have been torn a new one...well we did not find anything within my price range so we left. we also went to McDonalds..when we were there steph saw the swapmeet that was taking place in the parking lot next to the McDonalds...so she wanted to go over and check it out...when we were there I saw this one both thingy that had old skoo nintendo games and he had an old nintendo too! I was thinking about buying it, but he did not know if it worked or not..and I was not about to pay money for something if it does not work...I am thinking about looking on ebay and seeing if I could find the nintendo with some games...specifically contra and bubble bobble...my two favs...well my dad wants to get online so I gotta go...maybe I will type some more later...adios.

the other day my dad and I were coming out to home depot (the mexican one), it was on tuesday...well anyway there was this station wagon that literally said "attention please, this car is backing up...attention please, this car is backing up". at first I thought it was the radio, but it was the car...I have never seen or heard anything like that before. eh, feeling kinda blah/frustrated/eh/lots of other things right now, I dont really know how I am feeling. I feel happy sometimes, then I stop and feel kinda sad or depressed, I am not too sure what is going on in my head right now...I am all over the place with my emotions right now...payday tomorrow...I like money in my account. I am thinking about trying to transfer about 100 dollars a week from my checking to my savings...well at least 100, maybe more...so my money does not just sit there when it can be earning me money, although it is a small amount of money, its better than nothing, right? ok I am off to bed I gotta be up in about 5 hours...leightz.

still kinda frustrated and sad...got a new cd burner for about 80 bucks including rebate...got 35 back on my hardrive...thats all




well this week has been a kinda boring drab week. I know it was a four day week, but it was still eh. work is boring since I am not moving much paint...today was the exception I think I moved maybe 1600 gallons of paint, which is the best all week. I got my first pay check today...man uncle sam has me grabbin my ankles, he took about 20 percent of my money...man that sucks...my mom and dad keep telling me "welcome to real world"...eh I dont care the real world can go suck a gonad as far as I am concerned. the fourth was okay, I got to sleep in till one which was really enjoyable considering that I have not been able to sleep in that much in a very long while. for some reason even when I could sleep in I woke up at like 9:30 AM and had to force myself to go back to sleep...yeah I know, what the hell. Hopefully I will get to sleep in today. I was supposed to go to the doctor today for my swollen eye lid, whats weird is that it only swells up when I am asleep...yeah I know I have an eye infection of some sort, but whatcha gonna do. Today I got to help my dad install a new faucet for my grandmas bath room. well actually he did most of the work, but I still went with him to home depot. it was the most HI-LAR-E-US trip to home depot that I have ever had the privilidge of going on. First off my dad told me I had a choice...to go to the one in alhambra (the orientals) or to commerce (the mexicans) I choose the orientals hoping that they would be more neat and tidy, but boy was I mistaking. but I will get to that point later. well we walk in and we go to the area where they have stuff for fixing sinks and the whole aisle is torn to shreds basically...there was so much thievery there...it was unbelievable. so my dad and I are rummaging though the scraps looking for some of the stuff we need when we see a person who works there...naturally we think that this person could be of some help so after he is done helping this one other guy before us my dad asks him some questions. At first the guy seemed to know what he was doing, only a couple minutes later does he admit that he is not really qualified to help us because he is only a cashier...so my dad and I are like...um ok...so he gets on the phone and tries to find out who is supposed to be in the plumbing section. the first time he calls like the front desk or something like that to find out and asks "who is supposed to be working..." then all of a sudden he is like "hello?...hello?" then with a frustrated look on his face he says they hung up on him...I try and hold back laughter, and I think I did a pretty good job. Well he eventually finds out that mark is supposed to be working the plumbing section...so he goes off to find this guy, but he cant so my dad and I are basically stuck there with no idea what to look for. my dad eventually thinks up something and finds the parts for it. while we were looking for the part that he wanted there was this small asian guy, probably about shoulder height to me...he grabs a package and tears it open, then he tries to screw his piece into it, when it does not fit he grabs another one and repeats the process a few more times. During the check out we went to the one guy that tried to help us before. There was this one old asian guy, he was trying to buy some roll .....sorry I dont feel like typing anymore some thing just happened that is quite frustrating to my emotions and just plain aggravating, maybe I will finish this blog later... :*(

well I have been doing some looking around online and trying to figure out how much it would cost so that I will never have to upgrade my computer again...well at least not for a very long while...because I dont want a DVD burner right now but I will probably want one when they, as well as the blank DVD's, go down a bit in price...because they are really pricy. well anyway here are the prices...


Item and Price
CD Burner (speed 48x16x48 or 48x12x48) about $100-$120

Max RAM: 1024 MB (two 512 sticks) about $100-130 per stick


so far thats the list...the list will probably grow though :\




well today marked my second week of work. I think I only move about 700 gallons of paint (in five gallon buckets) but it was ok since they are installing a new computer system there. It is supposed to link all the Dunn Edwards stores and factories together so that every knows what everyone has and everyone knows what everyone needs. We get to use these cool scanner guns...I picked it up no problem, but about 99 percent of the other workers in water plant did not know what the hell they were doing, so I had to not only teach a bunch of mexicans that can barely speak english (well most of them) but I also had to scan and print out all of their stickers. So about 90 percent of all the paint that left the factory today was scanned by me. As I was leaving one of my supervisors thanked me for being lots of help since they probably would not have been able to move any paint unless I was there scanning and teaching. tomorrow should be more of the same so easy money for me again. I think of the eight hours of work I did today about 1 hour of it was "hard" work, but the hard work is not that difficult. Oh well its time to eat...leightz.
