I'm thinking about starting a side business designing goods.
It's Rodel's fault.

Design...Gone Retarded
http://www.magmypic.com/
Websites like this really piss me off. It's one thing to do something cute, but when it looks ridiculous, it really reflects badly. You can't water down design or layouts into a shitty template.
Great. It makes the uncreative look even more uncreative.
Bad photos + bad layouts = MORE BAD.
To add insult to injury, there's an ad for the stupid site at the bottom.
I guess I'm being a jerk because I expect more creatively than the stupid cookie cutter crap out there.

CARRY YOUR DAMN OWN PURSE!
Okay, I've just been noticing this lately...
Why do girls give their purses to their boyfriends to carry? There's no point to carrying a purse if you're not the one who's going to wear it. Sure, it's sweet for the guy to carry it for her, but geez...no need to be lazy. There's no need to emasculate your man just because you don't want to carry it. Take fewer things or get a smaller bag. sheesh!
If you don't want to carry a large bag, get a smaller one.
Sorry, it's been annoying me.

COME OUT ALREADY!
I know that for some it's hard to come out. But there are some people who are just dragging it out and taking people with them. I won't use real names so I'll use my own. Mark needs to just come out of the closet. I've seen the same struggle, but it's frustrating to know that Mark can't come to grips with himself. He has a girlfriend. I wonder if she's even had an inkling. I had a girlfriend too, but I knew that I was totally kidding myself. Apparently, so is Mark.
With that said, I want to make this world into a place where you don't have to come out. I want to help make this world safe so we can just be who we are. There wouldn't be any reason to hide.
To all my "Marks," No one had to tell me your secret...but eventually you have to. Be who you are. Trust your friends... more importantly... trust yourself.
Sorry, it's annoying to see you guys live your lies. I feel sorry for you and I can't help you unless you come out to yourselves.

Humble Pie
I went back to choir today. I haven't been to Mass in a long time. I've always been working and I just can't get up early to go to church and then drag my ass to work for at least 9 hours. I've been wanting to go back to church. I mean, how pathetic is it of me to help direct Confirmation class and not even go to Mass. That's inexcusable!
Upon my return, I discovered that my favorite solo part was given to someone else. Naturally, I knew that I'm the better soloist and I was taken back by it. I wanted to sing it and let myself go. It would have been a great feeling to start my "triumphant" return to choir.
However, after stepping back, I realize how selfish I was being. I remembered that I have to EARN that place. I have to prove myself and EARN the privilege to sing that solo part. Just like I need to earn back my place in choir. HELLO?! I've been gone so long so what made me think that I was just going to be handed the part?
The point of me going back to mass was to to worship. NOT take a selfish opportunity to glorify myself for 30 seconds. When I was walking down to receive the Eucharist, I remembered what the point was. If I cannot sing that solo, I have to be a part of the team and ENCOURAGE the person who did earn that privilege. I have to make sure that he sang it as well if not better than I have. I'm part of a team...rather, a body. I have to do what I can to glorify Christ.
I should be happy I was given the opportunity to come back. I am fortunate to have open arms welcoming me back to the group.
This year is about change.
I'm coming back to church.
I want to graduate.
I'm working on a better and more mature ME.
Sometimes I need that slice o' humble pie.

New Beginnings
I know I haven't been writing much. I have been running around trying to get shit done. I suppose now that this is 2008, it's time to change things around.
If you don't know, I worked for Coach for a brief period of time. Yes, I milked that discount for what it was worth.
Maybe quitting wasn't such a bad idea. haha. I calculated the retail value and it ended up being about $1600 worth of merch.
Actually, here are the top 3 performers:
1. Me $1600
2. Mom $1300
3. Boyfriend $1000
However, in all fairness, my mom did buy a bag with my discount, but that's the value she received during Christmas. It's amazing to think that between the 3 of us, we carry almost $4000 worth of Coach product. Some locations can't even make that in a day.
Anyway, I am now starting my final semester of school. I have decided to take all 18 units at once and I quit my job. I want to focus on graduating and getting my life started.
I hope that I can maintain myself and be a mature student. I did pretty well last semester so I need to keep that momentum going. No distractions. No excuses.
I really need to continue documenting things!
