i wanna be where the people are

ok first let me start off by saying, staring at people on the bus is rude. it is also very creepy. i am never sure what to think when people appear to be staring in my direction. i just hope they get off the bus before i do.

secondly, despite catching the bus on time, it has been a terrible morning. my alarm went off late, which is strange to say the least. so i was running behind because of it. i could not make lunch because i did not have the time. i forgot to drop an important letter in the mailbox. worst of all, i managed to leave my zune at home. my zune is one of the few things that make riding the bus barely tolerable. without it i feel defenseless against total strangers who want to have a rousing discussion about knows what. when all i want is to have them shut the fuck up. plus, without it, there is no music to listen to in the morning at work.

i am also extremely exhausted. i am not sure why exactky. last nights was one of the few nights where i got to bed at a reasonable time. so maybe the lack of sleep from earlier in the week is taking its toll on me.

it is the last day of week two in the inspection countdown. after today i will have little more than a week left before i go to visit me family. i should probably get my ticket soon.

yesterday i attempted to upload a video to youtube of these kids getting kicked off the bus. i say "tried" because i have sent the item several times and it has yet to post to my account. it has also failed to send me any kind of confirmation notice of it being the video being received or posted. i am not sure what is going on with that. hopefully it will post sometime today. not that it was hilarious, but i just you really have to earn being kicked off the bus.

i am not entirely sure what transpired, but at some point whatever these kids were doing earned them a verbal warning. i had my headphones on, so i did not even start to pay attention until the driver had initially stopped the bus. i originally had thought the bus was having problems, and the driver was explaining what was going on with the bus. so i took out my headphones, and these guys shouting obsceneties at the driver. they also were claiming they have the right to do so because there no signs on the bus that say they are not allowed to do just that. the driver left the bus motionless for a while as she continued to encourage them off the bus. needless to say, my bus was late yet again. here is the best part, after the driver resigns her stance against profanity, we begin to move once more. within two minutes, we end up approaching a squad car that has just finished pulling over someone who was presumably speeding in the school zone. the driver pulls the bus over, and the results can be seen on the video, if/when i ever get it to load. that was some instant kharma if i ever saw it. i hope the driver ends up ok, considering only a few months back a student attacked a driver for just such a reason. to think, the only reason i was even on that bus was to avoid dealing with this type of thing. the bus in the afternoon is literally mobbed with these students. i am told there is a school for wayward youths in the area. so let me get this straight, these are kids who have been deemed unfit to attend regular schools, but it is ok to have them run amuck on a public bus. that school needs to provide its own transportation for these students before someone is seriously injured or killed because some jackass does not know how to behave in public.

do the smurf, do the wop, baseball bat

so imagine how shocked i was to find a positive comment on my youtube account. pretty frigging shocked i can tell you. not only was there someone who did not flame me immediately, but they also agreed with me. i am not exactly sure on what, i think it was the part about her siding with cajcameron for no apparent reason. i certainly hope they were not commending me for blatantly attacking someone verbally via the web. that would just be akward.

ok i need to talk for moment about fantasy sports for a second, because there a couple of guys at work who are far to into it. first, i thought the whole point of being interested in sports was to be more jock than in real life. the so called "armchair quarterbacks". yet there are tons of guys essentially playing dungeons and dragons and claiming it is manly and a also a sport.

here is the portion where my implodes due to excess stupidity. let me explain. since, when has using your imagination ever been consider to be a sport? sudenly every four year old is an atheletic ocerachiever? plus, from what i can tell, it is not some that you can even actually play. the premise is to pretend to draft a team, composed of people who are not even on the same team. then after that, here is the most exciting part, there is no after that! you just sit around and wait for results that you have nothing to do with. what the fuck is that? that is not even a game. that is like picking people for a dodgeball team , and then waiting around to be eliminated by having a person randomly draw player names out of hat. who came up with this shit?

on my list of things that irk me, this is right up games whose entire gameplay is for you to create a game using it. who thinks these things are a great idea. the fact is, this idea is so dumb it is bound to be huge. just to prove that this is as nerdy as i am claiming it is. head over to jinx and check out their line of fantasy sports tees. nerd jocks, never has an idea been so confusing since the creation of the 2,000-calorie salad.

this is a jetsetter music letter from me to you

so i am standing on the threshhold of mm pending transfer from my current job locale. i still have not reached the point where this has all become exciting. i'll give reason why, because it has not actually happenned yet. that is reason enough for me to believe that it will not ever happen. i cannot simply hope that things will work the way i plan them. my life is not that fortunate. if i hope and plan for things to just work themselves out, they seldom do. when i attempt to force something it usually ends up being worse. my life is essentially the premise of "that's so raven", except that i do not have unique ability to actually see vague snippets of the future.

the weekend was relatively standard, played some video games, watched some tv, forgot to get my bus pass for work. i had the chance to see a few more episodes of heroes, still a good show. i cannot believe that one season is so long. i mean each episode is roughly forty-five minutes long, and season one is about twenty-three episodes. that is quite a great deal of time.

i was running behind this morning, so i missed the first bus out. instead of waiting for the next bus to come along, i walked fifteen minutes to the "alternate route". i generally do not take this bus, even though it can potentially still get me to work on time. the last time i took it, however, it made me exceedingly late. late enough to make me think that walking to the busstop was the better option. do not misunderstand, walking is not a bad thing, i do it all day at work. it is probably one of the last things i want to do early in the morning.

some good news, the guy currently holding down the position at the store i am transferring to is doing a bad job. i guess that does not sound like good news, but it does make me a better candidate. there are is something very important about my job that you is kind of a must. my job is one of those "somebodies gotta do it" types, and it suits because it is indireclty customer service related. it is like being one of those guys in the film credits that you are not quite sure what there job is, but they are not the dooughnut guy. so when i say my job is important, it is, but it is only notable when i am doing it wrong. if you are doing things correctly, then nothing will stand out to make others take notice. they noticed a few things about the new guy. needless to say, he was doing something wrong. which brings me to the one thing you must do in my position, and the thing is to never make up imaginary product that you cannot locate. it is a terrible thing for the store.
