work related.

I like my job. Its the best job I've ever had.
But I'm also sick and tired of it. Everyday, somebody, or something pisses me off because they aren't doing, or its not done the right way. I guess it's because I care too much?

I had some dude tell me "If you've got a problem with me, you come to me about it!" Because I gave what he sent down the line to the supervisor. This guy sent down a brace that is about 14-16 inches long.... in a flattened box (he didn't bother to build the box). Didn't bother to tape or staple the edges. I guess he assumed I was going to strap the box.
This part would have fit just fine in a next size bigger box. Sure there will be way more room in the box, but at least its not going to fall out or puncture a hole in the box.

...So, the Supervisor gives him his "packed" part back and tells him to repack it and walked away. So the guy builds a box (the next size bigger) and looks at me and says, "does this make any sense to you?" referring to all the extra room in the box. I reply with, "Yes. It does." "How?" "Because the parts not going to fall out of that built box or puncture any holes. How does the way you did it make sense?" He didn't have an answer for that. ...which there really isn't an excuse. The only things that should come down the line like that are Mud flaps and mats because they are actually too large for any box we have.

It's quite shocking at how stupid people can actually be. You're a grown adult! You should know better!


I feel like I'm a "tattletale". Which is really a horrible feeling. I hate having to go to a Supervisor to have them tell whoever to fix what they did. But I know if I were to tell them, they couldn't give 2 shits. But at least this (hopefully) lets the supervisor's know that I care enough that the job is done right.

This is only 1 of several things that pissed me off today.

Tired of being alone

I'm sick and tired of being alone. Having nobody. I know I keep saying that I need to get out and go places, but I hardly ever have the time.

This really does suck. I want to wake up and go to sleep knowing that she is there for me. I must sound desperate and that's really not what I'm going for.

I just want a woman who is down to earth, knows how to have a good time, has control of herself, has a good sense of humor. Looks are just a bonus.

I know I probably don't look like much when you first meet me. But I've seen people who have gotten to know me change. I'm a great guy. I have a sense of humor. I'm responsible, and I have control of myself.
I honestly think I'm judged before I've had the chance to be known. I guess that is their loss though.

Singing while playing.

I have about 10-12 songs I can play on the guitar and still be able to sing them. I'm not the best vocalist in the world, but when I played "Wherever you will go" by the Calling today, I sounded pretty damn good I thought. With a bit more practice I will have the strumming pattern and the tone of the lyrics down.

I want to learn to play and sing along with many more songs, but I can never thing of any, or they are too advanced for my playing level. Someday I know I will get there.

my best friend.

I best friend in the entire world came over yesterday for a short visit as he was going to a concert later that night. His name is Cougar. Yes, that's his real name.
We've known each other since 7th grade. We've been good friends ever since. We've been through a lot together. We've had a lot of great times, and bad times. I love him to death. He is like my brother.
He brought his girlfriend, Stephannie with him. She was also going to the concert. She is straight up gorgeous. I'm not gonna lie. She's a very nice person. Props to Cougar!
I wish that I still lived in Michigan so we all could hang out more.

I didn't want them to leave, but I knew they had to go. When they left, I got that alone feeling again. It sucked and still sucks. But it is what it is.

Im shy

I'm a shy person. I've been trying not to be so. Shy lately.
I wish I wasn't so shy. Its difficult starting a coversation with somebody that I don't know very well. I guess you could say that I'm not a very charasmatic person.
I just don't know what to say and it leads to that awkward silence.

writing it all down.

Lately I've felt the need to write some crap down. So that is why I've started this blog. Plus, probably nobody will read any of this anyways. So its all good. If people do read it, so what.

I would like to write my own Autobiography, but I'm pretty sure it would be the most boring, dull, and
un-entertaining thing imaginable. I haven't really done anything exciting in my life or have had any major accomplishments. The only accomplishment I've had was probably graduating High School and that's it.
But I think I'm going to write it out anyway... just because I can.

I would also like to write some stories. I could probably come up with some interesting and some crazy stuff. But we'll see. Whenever I actually try to write something, it turns out crappy.

Music and my life.

I love the impact that music has on me. I could be in the worst mood ever and listen to one of my favorite bands and it will cheer me up. Some of it's the lyrics, others the guitar. Its mostly Rock music that does this for me.

I've been playing guitar for 8 years now. I'm nowhere near as good as I should be. I'm self taught. I can play bits and pieces of a bunch of songs on the electric guitar. Whole songs on the Acoustic Guitar. Part of my problem on the Electric Guitar is that I can't do solo's very well. I don't have the finger dexterity to do it. I don't practice often enough to work on it.

Playing guitar is very cool. It can also be the most frustrating thing I've done. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so when I don't and/or can't get it right, it pisses me off and I quit playing for awhile. Like I said, I can't solo. Every time I try to, even to practice, I'm horrible at it. I after re-reading that, I guess I need to work on my patience also... I know I can do it, I just haven't worked up to that level of playing yet.

Every time I hear one of my favorite guitarists such as Jimmy Page, Slash, or Dimebag Darrel (RIP), it inspires me to play.

I've always wanted to play the drums ever since I was little. I've never played them before, but I think I'd be pretty good at it. Hearing drummers such as John Bonham (RIP) of Led Zeppelin makes me want to do it. Bonham has one of the most recognizable beats. I would know it was him within the first few beats.

Hopefully someday I will have access to a drumset so I can try it. ...and gain that title of "Multi-Inrumentalist".

Moral of all of this; Music is inspiring to me.
