  • I ended up with a 91 in my Calculus class, so an A for the win!!  So while we were at my grandparents cabin, fishing and playing cards and riding 4-wheelers and whatnot, we toasted with Rolling Rock.  It was hella cool.

    I got fired from my dog-food selling job because I didnt sell any bags over the weekend.  He offered me the weekend off and I should've taken it because I dont have any work resources that I typically need to convince people to buy the dogfood.  It doesnt matter though because this upcoming weekend would've been my last anyways, I'm leaving on the 24th to head back up to Michigan.  But what really rocks is that he wants me to call him when I get back next summer so I can try again, so that's pretty freakin sweet.

  • There's this new pizza joint in Little Rock called Playtime Pizza.  I thought it'd be awesome, I went there last night and met up with a group of friends to play in their arcade, because they have the latest version of Dance Dance Revolution there.  Brand new arcade machine, straight off of the factory line, perfect condition.  It was $9 to get in, but that includes an unlimited pizza buffet.

    The place was packed like a can of sardines.  It took damn near forever to do anything because there were lines going out the yin-yang.  It was impossible to play DDR because everyone, kids and their parents, were trying to screw us up while we played.  It was retarded, I've never seen such an immature crowd of people.

    We were all there for less than 2 hours, and out of the blue they kick everyone out.  A small fight had broken out, which noone noticed, but instead of just kicking out the people who caused the fight they instead kicked everyone out.  They called the cops, and they all were walking around holding their beating-sticks trying to act tough as if they werent scared of this huge mass of about 200 very pissed off customers.  What a waste of $20, I barely got anything to eat, and there's no particular reason why I'd ever want to go back there ever again.  They did a terrible job of crowd management.  We GTFO'd that place and hung out at someone's house for a bit and that was alright, so it wasnt a complete waste, at least I got to hang out with friends and meet new people and that's always coo.

    Anyways yesterday my phone decided to kick the bucket.  I've had it for forever, never really expected it to just die on me.  Took it to the store and they claim that there wasnt anything they could do, which pisses me off because what I enjoyed about the phone so much was the mere convenience factor of it.  It was just a phone, none of that extra bullcrap, you could turn it on in 7 seconds.  So I looked around at the other phones and most of them took about 20 seconds to turn on, which just doesnt fly with me, I'm an impatient man.  One of the Samsungs was alright though, it took 10 seconds to turn on, so that's the one that I got.  There was a Blackberry one there that turned on in 2 seconds, which I was very impressed with, but if I wanted to get that one then it would've required that I changed my plan over to one that cost $50 more a month and fuck that shit.  So I got to keep my old phone number and they were able to import my saved numbers and shit so all is good.

  • Guess who's done with Calculus, bitches?

  • Bad Day, a.k.a. Regions Sucks

    I needed some quick cash, so I decided to stop by Region's bank since it was on the way to where I was headed.  It wasnt the only bank in that direction, because Conway, Arkansas has at least 50 banks.  But, I was in a rush, so I stopped there.  I've had bad experiences with this bank before, the way that it's built it's almost impossible to get into, but I was (un)fortunate enough to get in there.  My previous bad experience as this particular bank was that they refused to cash one of their own checks because if you dont have an account there, you have to go inside to get your check cashed, and they close 5 minutes early so drive-through is out of the question.

    Anyways that's beside the point, fast foward to today, I go over to their drive-through ATM and without thinking I put my non-Regions debit card into the slot that prints the receipts.  And it's the worst receipt printer imagineable, it's so deceptive, because there's a big green light on it so if you were in a hurry and werent thinking you'd put your card in the wrong slot.  It doesnt even have the decency to be one of those printers that points down, which is how every other ATM in the world does things because then noone's stupid enough to put their card in the printer when they're in a rush.  That's not how Regions works though, they havent gotten with the times.

    So I put my card in the printer slot, and it falls inside the machine, so I cant get any money.  I go through the drive-through window to explain my situation.  The guy at the window says "Do you have a Regions card?"  to which I reply nay to which he responds "Sorry, I cant help you then".

    What the fuck?  Would it have mattered if it was a Regions card or not?  My cards in your receipt printer, your printer is going to get fucked up and have a huge messy paperjam, and you dont care?  Apparently not, but the guy did inform me that an armored car comes by at 2a.m. to service the machine and that anything found inside the machine is destroyed.  Which is just great, because that's the debit card to my Michigan bank account, so I wont be able to withdraw any more money from there for a few weeks until I go back up there and get a replacement card.  That's fucking great, what a great day I'm having.

    So since I'm already pissed off seeing how screwed I am, I step on the gas pedal and break my right-side window against a pole that happened to be there in the skinniest drive-through ever.  I call my dad, and he comes to the rescue by letting me bum some cash off of him.  And while I'm waiting, the other people going through the drive-through ATM are wondering where their receipts are, undoubtedly beginning a paper jam which I hope breaks their machine and costs them alot of money to fix.  Fuck you, Regions bank.

    But yeah, no cash, gimped truck, pissed off, that's how my day's been.

  • I got a B on my latest exam.  All I need to do is make a B on my final exam and I'll have an A in the class.

    I'm headed out to watch some old-skool X-Files with my friends.

  • Things are going well.

    I made alot of stupid mistakes on my test, but overall it went alright.

    I met my dogfood selling quota this weekend, selling 10 bags.

    Life is good, that is all.

  • Calculus is eating my lunch.

  • I dont know why, but I've been having alot of really shitty days recently.  I did go see the new X-Files movie though, which I thought was awesome.

    Also, I got a fake ID in the other day from my good friend in Michigan (which explains why this Xanga entry might seem so fucked up).  It's legit, hell it's even scannable.  I go out of town to buy alcohol all the time.  I cant wait to go to Michigan to go bar hopping.  To all of my Conway, Arkansas friends, hit me up if you need any alcohol, I can hook you up.

    I've been playing this amazing game called Tabula Rasa.  It's an online role playing game, you have to pay to play it, but it's SO worth it.  I cant explain it over Xanga, it's addicting as hell, I've played it for 25+ hours and loved every minute of it.  You have to pay a subscription towards the game so that they can pay people to add more content to it, which is what makes the game so awesome.  Anyways, I'm drunk, cant wait to read y'all's comments.

    Shiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut.

  • Y'know, you can save yourself alot of trouble by not lying.  If you lie once, and someone confronts you about that lie, you may have to lie again.  That's why lying isnt always the best option for everyone.  Take for example, this stupid bitch customer that I had to deal with today.  For those of you who dont know, I've got a weekend job selling dog food, it's a great gig.  I'm not a PetsMart employee, I work for the dog food companies, my job is to set up a display in PetsMart and try to sell my dog food.  This lady's dog took a piss all over the tablecloth on my display table.  No biggie, I'll just have to throw it in the wash when I get home and clean up the dog piss around my display, I've got no problem with that.  If she wanted to do it herself, I wouldve been fine with that too, so I showed her that we have things to clean up with at the end of every aisle.  She asks me if there are any PetsMart employees that can help her, so I pointed her in the direction of some.  I would've taken her to them myself, but alas, I was going to have to clean up her dog's piss by myself because she made no effort to do so after I showed her what she could use to clean up with.  So while I'm cleaning up her dog's piss, she gets in line and checks out.  No problems there.  Sometime between the time that she checked out and the time that the manager came to complain to me, she started crying.  She obviously wasnt crying while she was checking out, I saw her.  And why was she crying?  Because she complained to the manager that "a rude dogfood guy refused to hold her dog's leash" while she was trying to clean up her dog's mess.
     
    She lied that I had flat out refused to hold her dog while she made an attempt to clean up after her dog.  Yeah, so this lady didnt make any effort to clean up after her dog's mess and while I'm doing it FOR HER, she's off making a scene and complaining.  For the record, she DIDNT ask me to hold her dog.  What she did do, was refuse to make any sort of effort to clean up after her dog when I showed her all the available materials at the end of all the aisles that can be used to clean up a dog's mess.  What that means, is that she tried to get me into trouble because she expected me to clean up after her.  It's not my job to clean up dog messes, but I try to help out a little, and I definately want to keep my display clean.  And this lady's dog didnt just piss on my display, because I looked back and there was a loooooooooooong trail of piss going from down the aisles, to my display, to the checkout line.  I was NOT going to clean all of that up, no ma'am.
     
    Fortunately, when the manager came by to investigate, I showed him the long trail of piss and the huge radius of it that I cleaned up by myself.  We followed the trail of piss down an entire aisle, turned the corner, and there was a pile of shit laying there on the floor.  Needless to say, I got off the hook when I explained what happened, how she never asked me to hold onto her dog and I cleaned up after some of this lady's mess but was not going to take an extensive amount of time out of my job to clean up after this lady.  I've got 4 hours to sell 8 bags of dog food, I literally dont have time for this shit.

  • I'm not dead yet, I swear, I just havent been in a bloggy mood lately.
     
    Got an 87 on that Calc test.
