Back in the fold
Hmm.. *peeks head in*
Well it's been quiet huh? Sucks to be me. Haven't posted in a month. Actually sucks to be you guys who actually check this thing and find no updates.
Nice and easy September I guess. Started working full time 10-6 Monday to Friday. This devours my soul. My workday is split between Cowie and Fox Creative Inc. and Blink Management. Cowie and Fox is a creative ad company, I don't do any sort of interesting work here. I've just been put on for a 3-month contract to input their accounting numbers in the computer. So I've had to catch up on 9 months of paperwork previous to this month. Imagine sitting at a computer all day looking over invoices and expenses, then categorizing them into excel. Yippee! Blink Management is the talent agency where i'm represented. Basically my agent has needed to be out of the office for a while, and I'm covering all the office work that needs to be done while she's out and working from home submitting etc. On the plus side, I get to experience the ins and outs of talent agency work. How many and what sorts of projects are going in and out. And read scripts and storyboards for upcoming projects. It would be cooler if I could tell anybody about these things, but that would be leaking priviledged information to the public which would cost me my job.
Humm... on an impulse buy I got myself a Nintendo DS. Its good to keep me busy while commuting to and from work on the bus. Note to self in the future though.. Don't play the DS while standing on a moving bus as it is easy to get lurched forward and unbalanced when bus is making sudden stops. Luckily an old woman was there to prevent me from falling and hurting. I didn't fall on her. punks.. I know you were all thinking that. She just pushed me back upright as I was about to lurch and fall... near her. Yeah.
Also kind of feeling like a lump. I don't go out as much as I used to. This is mostly due to the fact that I work in the morning now, and feel like getting a good night's sleep. And I was broke for a while so that wasn't conducive to evenings out. How do regular people live like this? Working a normal schedule five days out of the week. What I'm living isn't the lifestyle I enjoy.
Ever realize that you should have died a long long time ago? Seriously. If it weren't for modern medicine and devices, over 75% of the worlds "first world" population wouldn't be here. I mean, I eat too much, and am not in terribly good shape. I've taken anti-biotics for ear infections. My eyes would have had me killed ages ago. I would have sat on a bear or something. So the modern world has permitted me to live. But what am I doing with this life? I lack direction. I enjoy doing many things, but I have no career path that I'm striving to fulfill.
I should make a list of all the things that I want to do in the near future... though I have no idea how to prioritize this list.
1. Move out of my parents house
2. Get a car
3. Find a job that would be able to support option 1 and 2
4. Find something that I'm passionate about
5. Finish school (?)
6. Take acting classes
7. Write a book
8. Become independant
Each of the things have a whole lot of sub-lists.. moving out would be interesting as I'd have to convince my chinese parents to accept the fact that i'm not just a kid with no-direction. I know they love me and are just looking out for me, but at the same time the way they coddle me and keep me dependant on them isn't really conducive to me becoming independant. Of course this is mostly my own fault as I'm letting myself become dependant on them as it's really easier than going out and becoming independant on my own. Path of least resistance and all.
On an odder note. Watched Uwe Boll beat the crap out of 4 of his critics on Saturday. Yeah, that's the way to get them to like you.. throw a punch at them. Though admittedly they kind of deserved it. They had months to prepare for the boxing match, and obviously none of them had even tried to train for it. Dr. Boll has boxed amateurly/semi-pro for about 15 years. Sure he's 41 and not in the best shape now, but he'll still kick your ass given the opportunity. You trash talk him and don't think he's going to hit you hard? Silly critics. People praised "Lowtax" (Webmaster of SomethingAwful.com) for making light of the whole thing, even though he wasn't prepared, he thought this whole thing was a publicity stunt and was quite shocked when Uwe hit him as hard as he did, he threw in the towel after two minutes. I find the fact that he became angry because Uwe hit him hard as just silly. The man challenged you to a boxing match. You accepted. Didn't really train for over three months, got your ass kicked, and are now sore that he took the fight seriously and you lasted less than two minutes? The duel is a long standing tradition. It's honorable. In the whole cavemannish way of beating the crap out of two people. Its a violent way to settle a matter between supposed gentlemen. Personally I take challenges seriously and will fight if it becomes apparent that it isn't a terrible idea to do so. In all honesty I've only not been able to talk my way out of one fight in my life. And even though I "beat" the person, I never threw a punch, and just submitted him on the ground. Still, a fight, is a fight, is a fight. Don't walk into an arena of battle without some sort of focus and goal of something you wish to accomplish in your mind, or you won't walk back out.
Bleh. Talked to much now. Leave some comments and i'll try to respond to them when I can. That way I'll know what I type is worth typing since it's being read.

lists are fun, aren't they? interesting thing about points 1 and 2 is that most people have to have those "work most of the day" jobs to afford those things. also, it's nice to have your own place but the upkeep sucks :p
i think point #4 should be #1. Sadly, it's also the hardest to figure out. some ppl just know. others, actually have to seek it out.
anyway,good day sir.
