Big day tomorrow. Show day. Seattle day. Movie day. All rolled into one! I haven't done my own set since...February I think. Needless to say I'm more than a little rusty. Thankfully the place will be full of friends like Chandra, Bethany, Ryan, YT, Karl, and Dan to name a few, who have all seen me suck ass at rapping before. So I'm not that nervous.

Wow work has sucked! Turns out one of the Indian offices went down so we we've been having to take tech and general calls. I'm use to having a handful of minutes in between calls, but not today. I'm very spoiled and I had grown accustom to it.

Shitty day at work. Can't wait to go home. It took 10 hours to write this between calls and insane British/Brazilian people who spend over an hour with me wanting to know everything about a product on our website. Guess that's why I get paid the big bucks. Oi. At least my blogs aren't as depressing as Damon's. Sheesh! See ya in Seattle kids!

Behold my blogging might! Bow before my power to make you giggle! Tremble as I break your very soul with every typo! And pray to your false idols as I betray my very band with each instance of poor grammar! Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Cool.

Work work work. Tomorrow is my day off! Yay! Sadly this go-round I don't get to bask in the glory that is my middle-day as I switched my Tuesday and Thursday so I could go to Seattle and not, ya know, get fired. Pfft.

Went over to Chan Chan's last night and played hung out. We discussed things of great importance...like our competitiveness and mutual stubbornness, as well as my lack of exciting and intellectually stimulating text messages, which I believe drew her to me in the first place. We played the first level of Lego Indiana Jones and I like that I can beat her up as much as I like and not stop the game. This is why me and Kevin could never get through Double Dragon when we were younger. I also really enjoy rollos.

Today she had the day off, and between sleeping in and napping, her and Leila joined me for lunch at Josh's Fusion Cafe. Clearly the group at Josh's know that I don't have a kid, but I didn't realize that some of the coworkers that were there wouldn't have this fact stored in their databases. It's like when people ask if Gareth is my dad...only backwards. I like it, but it does feel disrespectful to oldboy. However, if Leila was my baby, I would splice her DNA with Shark DNA and wield the most powerful weapon known to man: A half shark, half baby, all adorable killing machine! That is all. Go do your homework. 

Soooo we didn't play video games last night. Turns out we were going to play on the Wii and I forgot to bring an extra nunchuck. Instead we witnessed the struggle between bananas and peas in Leila's mouth, her slippery baby butt, and her love for trying to eat things that people can't/shouldn't eat. After Leilabean passed out Chandra and I shot the shit and proceeded to engage in what I like to refer to as a competition. A competition where no one wins.

When I got to work this morning (11am is morning, right?) I was greeted with alarming news. It was all over the blogs and in AP reports in less than an hour, but the website of my employer was unavailable for several hours today. I don't know why, which is good since it means I didn't have to lie to anyone who called in when our site eventually went back up. The phone numbers to call us are all on the site, and when the site can't be accessed, it means that we don't get many calls for a little while. Which was really nice...until the site went back up. Grumble.

MC Lars ended up showing us much love on his myspace blog and I hope that encourages more cool people to check out our musica. I learned that Shael has shifted all his focus to The Grammar Club and isn't going to be doing a solo album any time soon. That sucks, but on the album there will be a few songs that will only have Shael which means we will hopefully get top notch versions of the killer tracks Shael had been floating around for his solo album. And in sad news it's looking like I won't be able to do the Meltdown show. I have no idea how I'm going to tell Tracy. 

I'm feeling pretty good today, despite the fact that I didn't see Chandra last night, I'm at work, and I think Amy has been subtlety talking shit about me in her blog. I really don't know why the happiness is so abundant to be honest, but it's a good feeling. I fell asleep with the light on last night which sucked because I'd wake up every couple of hours and think, "Oh god, turn out the lights" but I was then too lazy to do so. It wasn't until 6:30am that I actually got up and turned out the lights, and after that I couldn't really get back to sleep. And even with all that nonsense, it's some of the best sleep I've gotten in about a week.

Made slight updates to Beefyness.com this morning while grubbing on Cinnamon Life cereal. I don't care if it makes me seem childish, I just really dig cereal. Last night I actually made, like, a dinner. It wasn't an amazing feat, just some chicken fried steak patties with eggs and mashed potatoes, but I didn't get it at a drive-thru and I didn't have to microwave it, so it felt like real food. And honestly it was mad tasty. I might do something like that again tonight. Or I'll just have mac and cheese. Both sound delicious right now.

I'm going to go bug Chandra at work during my lunch break. I like it because I get to see her and the other people I used to work with at Gamestop, but I feel bad because all I do is completely stop productivity. I'm honestly shocked I wasn't let go from that place after the holidays. Clearly it's better to be loved than to be a hard worker. Worked out for me. Boosh!

Ok, I'm about to go on a break in 7 minutes. I still haven't figured out what to do on my break now that I'm not smoking. So boring. Peace out.

Dude, work sucks. I love my job, but it's only down fall is that it gives me a lot of time to just get stuck in my head. When I'm dwelling on something, I need distractions. Sadly, I only get calls once every half hour or so, and at the end of the day I really do appreciate the calls that take 45 minutes to an hour. I need to get out of my own head. I over analyze. I guess everyone does, but I'm so sheepish to begin with that any skepticism or second guessing turns me into an uber cowered. I don't dig it. I try writing at work, but they just turn to love/hate/loss/pissed off/emo songs that I read at home and wonder why I bothered. If I could just play my DS or something while working that would be so much better. Seriously, I have nothing to do for long periods of time, why can't I level my Pokemon? Ok, enough of this. Back to work.

I submit that there are few things worse than waking up on a Friday morning expecting to see vast sums in your bank account, only to have those dreams shattered when you take a look and see that there are no funds to speak of. In a spot where vast sums should rightly be. This is the second payday in a row that I have been hosed by whatever direct deposit error there is on my account. Two weeks ago I was told that everything was good to go and I wouldn't have this problem again. This, obviously, was not 100% accurate. The payroll lady at work is in a meeting, so even though I've called twice, there is still no progress being made to rectify this injustice! I just need my duckets yo, I gots plans.

Brief rundown on yesterday: Picked up Ryan at like two, went to see Al since Lacey was still at work. Took Ryan and Al to Ryan's house so they could later go to work, came home, took a nap, went to Lacey's when she was out of work, Ryan was there as was Lacey's friend who's name escapes me. Heard strange Lacey stories before Ryan left, all went to take Lacey's friend home and pick up Al from work. Went to Al and Lacey's for a while, came home, chatted on the phone with Chandra, watched TV shows on the net, then went to bed. Not much excitement I'd say.

There has been a lot of talk about PAX lately (there's been talk about a lot of stuff from what I understand, but for this blog we'll discuss PAX) and just the idea that it's coming up soon makes me all sorts of glad. We've already booked two hotel rooms, but with as many people who are saying they'd like to go this year, we might actually need another one. You don't really sleep during PAX, the rooms are just there so we have a place to party. And when you party as hard as I do sometimes you need multiple rooms.

I've just started listening to Gnarls Barkley's new album The Odd Couple and so far I'm in love with it. It's like they picked up right where St. Elsewhere left off. I don't know if this album has a hit as big as "Crazy" but then again I do have five more tracks to listen to. As a matter of fact, that's what I'm going to do now. Bye!

And so it begins! I feel like The Final Countdown should be playing and I should roll onto a stage on a Segway shooting lighter fluid out of my sleeve while mentally retarded females ask, "Where did the lighter fluid come from?"

I've been watching more Arrested Development.

Today is my Friday and I'm so excited. As exciting: I can hear a guy next to me at work who talks really loudly totally sucking ass on a call and I'm sure in like fifteen minutes he'll either be bitch slaped or fired. It's kind of exciting to witness. Bosses keep looking at him. He's toast. Don't get me wrong, I'm not wishing a guy get fired but it's something I've always wanted to see and haven't been able to (except for when I was fired from The Depot.)

Today is the worst day of the year. April Fool's Day. A day full of lies, deceit, practical jokes, and false hope. I'm that guy in your group that can't take a practical joke. The one that would punch you in the face if you put my hand in a cup of warm water. Draw on my face while I'm passed out? You don't wake up next time you pass out. Shit is on son! But seriously, every website does a little, "Hey guys, we're changing formats! Now we're a site about kittens! Hilarious!" /film had a post about a Superman/Spider-Man film for crying out loud. However, that was a big part of me that wanted so much for it to be true. So don't believe anything you read on the internet today...except this...and that...(repeat x42)

Last night meant more good times with Chan-Chan and also featured Chad and Nick. We went over to Chad's house and played a little Brawl (I'm a lot better on a timed match that stock it turns out) and then we played Nintendo Monopoly. Needless to say I dominated the game. Owned all the railroads by luck and ended up making a very good trade for the yellows being played by members of the Donkey Kong games. After Chandra owed me a fat stack of duckets and was forced to give me Mario & Luigi (the blues, natch) we called the game due to sleepiness. Getting off work at 10 means never getting to sleep anymore, but it does go to show that I have awesome homies who want to hang out until 3 in the morning every day.

As far as fonts go, I think everyone has one they really like and would use forever if they had a choice. I got the font "gonzo!" from my internet friend Jason who used to do the webcomic Niego. On my myspace the font that says Beefyness.com is in fact gonzo! word.
