What a big pain in the butt. I'm currently sitting at a Starbucks down the street from my horrible place writing on a laptop that looks like it was put together by a bunch of mentally challenged blind monkeys. On top of that, I'm typing faster than the computer can keep up. Where did I get such a laptop? I got it from my mother, bless her heart, who gave me this laptop in order to fix it. Well, for starters let me say it's a Mac. And if you know me, you know that Macs and I are bitter enemies, since that fateful day back in the war.
What makes this even better is that there is this cute little old lady, I mean, she's old, 80s I would say. Sitting next to me on her laptop which is incredibly way better and advanced this shiny piece of crap. Oh, and there's another guy who is probably even older than that, sitting diagonally from me on his ipad, an IPAD! COMON! I shake my fist at irony. I'm the youngest one here, with the oldest piece of technology. It's actually quite humorous.
I've been wanting to write for awhile. And now that I've finally gotten an opportunity, I'm not really sure what I want to write. This year has been pretty friggin' awesome. I've signed up for school, going to take a couple of technical classes. If I had internet at home (I'll get into that in a minute), I'd be doing more research onto my other projects, but like I said, I'm sitting at Starbucks on this.... whatever you want to call it. I'm happy with how much I've gotten accomplished this year already, which really isn't much, but honestly, it's WAY better than I have done in the past, so I'm pretty happy about it. I feel way more motivated than I usually do to continue to improve myself and my way of living.
So, why am I sitting here at Starbucks? Why am I not at my computer in my nice quiet room? Because my landlord is a friggin' moron and doesn't know how to take care of the place properly. She decided that she was fed up with Time Warner giving her problems. Sure, I can understand how annoying it would be to have someone constantly ask for money or else they'll turn off your service. Ya, sure, right, uh-huh. I'd hate to pay for something that they are giving me too... wait... what? So, she apparently stopped paying them, causing the Internet to stop, then she went and got ATT. Of course did she bother to tell any of the tenants? Nope. Who uses the Internet there anyways right? This guy... this guy right here typing this story to you. So 6 days later with no online source, and multiple calls and texts asking why there isn't anything and to fix it now, she finally says that she switched services and that the phone jack (great... DSL connection, crap) is only located in my room, and that I need to hook it up. Oh, okay, sure, I'll get right on that with all my free time after I spent 8 hours at work doing the EXACT SAME THING FOR PEOPLE. Bitter much? Nah. Just frustrated at the idiocy of the whole situation.
Let me say one other thing here. I'm sure she is a very nice person, which she is. However, when she talks she has a very nonchalant attitude, and sometimes her actions indicate that she might be lacking the proper blood flow to her brain to operate on a daily basis. I'm just saying. When you witness someone take a boiling pot of water of the stove and leave the stove on, with flames still going is a small thing. But when you see it happen a few times, AND see that the fire is STILL going (making a distinctive noise by the way) after she has emptied the pot, eaten/drank whatever she made, and then cleaned the dish, and the dish is now dry... well... isn't pretty obvious that she's just a functional retard.
I believe this blog is officially derailed. I suppose I just wanted to vent. Please, don't misinterpret this as that I'm not grateful for what I have. Trust me, 5 months ago, no job, no place to live? Ya, this is WAY better. But if it's one thing I absolutely can't stand it's idiots. Again, I'm sure she is a nice person, most people who have the brain of a child are, sigh... I need to stop... sheesh. But I mean, comeon, right? It's... bah. Okay okay, I'm done. I'm happy with my room... MY room, the kitchen and the bathroom "privileges" are lacking, but if I was to get my own little fridge, I'd be pretty set. Fortunately I may have found a new place where I have my own bathroom and a big a room for myself. It's more expensive but, hopefully it'll work out better than where I'm at now. Plus there's a full size pool and gym?! Sign me up!
Other than that situation, life isn't bad. Goals are slowly being accomplished, I'm part of a swing team, and my personal life is slowly improving.
I'm telling you, it's gonna get better. This year has some epicness to it that I can't even being to explain or fathom. Stay tuned for more.
Oh crap, this is my first blog post of the year? Wait... is it? I don't know, and this computer takes too long to load a page and I still want to write in another blog that is a bit more personal. If you want that one, ask and I may share. May share. Don't get your hopes up.
One last thing....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! Whoo Hoo!
