I'M BACK!!!!

Well hello all, I apologize for my long absence from the blogging world. A lot has been happening since the last post I have made. Where to start... where to start??? OK this is a good jumping off point.... as I told you before when I moved down here I got a job as a administrative assistant at a housing complex. Well that is no longer what I am doing.

The housing development I was in was great, they were training me to be a leasing consultant and I was going to be very happy there. As it turns out my string of bad luck was just about to happen. I go into work one day and start doing my normal routine of answering the voice mail and checking the vacant apartments and my then my assistant manager told me that he was leaving the company. He had already let the main boss know what was going on, and that threw her into a panic and she started to look for people to fill his position and... MINE! So I am thinking to my self " Self, what the hell am I going to do now!? I have no other job openings that I can see and my money is starting to be replenished..." (yes I use big words in my head... thank you very much!) So it turns out that there is a lot of training that is involved with leasing apartments, and I just couldn't be trained in time for what they needed. So one Thursday I went to lunch and I was contacted by the temp agency that put me in that location and they told me not to return to that location.... i felt like I hit a brick wall going 300MPH! I didn't freak out though because I thought that the temp agency would find something else for me... oh how I was wrong!

After the temp agency told me not to return to work I started to go out and look for a job. I got to tell you that in this economy and the job market of today it is very very very very hard to find a job! I was out there everyday looking for something... anything... but I just couldn't find anything. My money was dwindling and things on the home front where not getting any better.. Yes my girlfriend loves me but when she has to pay for everything and start sacrificing things that she wants to do it just gets to you... and it is not fair.. not fair at all. I would get these interviews and they would turn out to anything and finally... finally I got an interview that looked very promising....

That interview was for a car dealership, well as I find out it was for a recruiting agency for a car dealers. So I go to this interview/training thing with an open mind and ready to do what ever it takes to get a paycheck. Oh just to keep the time line in your head, I moved down here in the very beginning of June, I lost my apartment job around the middle of June.. right around the time of my birthday... now it is July and I am doing this interview for the car dealership people.. so there is the time line.... OK back to the dealership thing..... So I get to the hotel that the interview/training is taking place... and I am the only "professional" looking person there, and there was about 15-20 people there. This interview/training thing is about 5 hours long and gives you all the tools to start out selling cars, it is really a good training program.. but at the end of the training I had my interview and I was told that I would be making at least $40,000 a year plus commission and that was great! So I leave my interview and I am all happy and excited to go to the dealership and get my job! On the way home I was behind a truck and all of a sudden a rock hits my windshield and it chips!!!! FUCK!!!!! So now I am pissed at this now.. and as I am driving the chip turns into a crack.. ... then into a long spider of crack.... my day went from WHOPOO HOO to SHIT!


So fast forward a few days and I am outside a Saturn dealership and I am called in for an interview... 1. I thought I have already got the job and 2. I was told that I was the only person to be interviewing with them that day and it turns out I was the 2nd person there from the training seminar from the other day. So now I get in with the manager from the dealership and he is talking and we get to know each other and things went well.. up into the point that I asked him what the salary was and he told me that it was a salary it was only commission and I nearly fell off my chair... I finish the interview and even before I left the lot I call up the place that set up the interview and told them it was a commission only job and that I wanted another assignment. They were "shocked" that the place was commission only and they set me up with another place and this dealership was about an hour away from where I live.. so that sucks! So the next day I head on over to an auto park that is an hour away and the same thing happens to me again... the whole deal was a commission only job. No I am very frustrated and near the breaking point.

So there I am.. no job, barely any money, and tempers are starting to boil over. Just as I thought I was never going to find a job I get an email from a cell phone company... dun dun dunnnnnnnn.. VERIZON! So I am bouncing off the wall with excitement in anticipation for this great new adventure selling Verizon Wireless! This is where things go from bad to absolute worse... OK time line check in time!... Now we are about 3 weeks ago from today.... So back to what I was saying... The first day of work and it is paid training at $8/HR and after the first week it will then change to $7.25/HR plus commission so that's not that bad. There I am first day of work and I get there and I am told to have a seat and that training will start soon..... 4 hours later I am finally getting a chance to fill out paper work and start my training. So that is the start of what is going to be a bad bad series of events to come.

Now it is the second day of work/training and again I get into work and I am told to sit down until training continues, but this time I only wait 2 hours before I start training again.. now there is another new person that is training with me and he has to get caught up and I am once again casted to the side. Now this is when things get really messed up. I overhear the new guy ask the manager about the pay structure and he is then told it is a commission based system... that's when my ears perk up and I told the manager that I was told that it was hourly plus commission and he proceeds to tell me that no one gets paid a hourly rate besides the regional managers.... So I kinda lose it and told him that he lied to me and that this isn't Fair, and the manager told me if I didn't like it then I could leave.... so I did! That was a huge mistake.....


This is the shitty part of my story that I completely brought on myself. When I get home I tell my girlfriend that the manager left early and that I was not allowed to stay there with out him and I got out early (LIE!). Then the next day I told her that I was going into to work and that I had an interview at 4 with another company (part LIE! and part truth.). I stayed home and attempted to clean the house when all of a sudden she walks in on me when she thought I was at work and she figured out that I lied to her... Now she leaves and things just go from bad to even worse because my mother is coming into town and my girlfriend isn't exactly a fan of her (my mom has made some mistakes but she is trying to make those mistakes go away) so now my girlfriend is completely pissed at me to the point of not talking to me... Then it hit rock bottom the next night when she walked out on me... just a reminder I BROUGHT THIS ON MYSELF! So I go out the next day to go job hunting and I go to the North Gate mall to continue the search. I happen across a T-Mobil store and hand in my resume.... Then had a mini lunch with my mom and her boyfriend and then I call my girlfriend that has spent the day with her brother in law. I told her I missed her and that I was worried about her and when I was done with the mall I went over to the brother in laws house to talk... I understand now that LIE-ING is very very bad and that I need to communicate better with her and not make rash decisions without talking with her first.

Time line check time!!!!!! Present day as of today... well this past week. I get a call from T-Mobil and he wants me to come in for an interview. So the net day I go in for an interview and it goes really really well... so good in fact that I GET THE JOB!!!!! This is a hourly plus commission. I have been working for T-Mobil for about 4 days now and everything is going great. Also on the home front things are starting to get better....


OH also I am going on vacation in 2 weeks! This is the first vacation me and my girlfriend have been on together in the past 5 years of our relationship. We are going on a cruise to MEXICO and we are leaving out of New Orleans.... Oh and we are staying in New Orleans for an extra 3 days after our 5 day cruise... I am super excited about this vacation that we both desperately need...

Well that has caught you up for now.... there are some more stories from the past couple of months but those are for later... the next entry will be about my "BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!"

Till then Stay YEKNOM and stay Everlasting!!!

New Beginnings

Well it has been a minute in a half since I posted anything... with good reason. I have MOVED TO NORTH CAROLINA! Yeah it has been a crazy few weeks, with all of my packing and driving and such.

I have moved in with my lovely girlfriend cyndi, in a nice one bedroom apartment in the lovely town of Durham, NC... This town is great, we are close to her sister and brother in law and those two are great people to be around. I am in the process of finding a new job after the one that got me down here has fallen through. My manager was seriously bipolar so it was only a matter of time before it went bad. So I got an interview today for a admin position at a hosing complex.. full time and makes good money and the best part is...... it is a 9-5 job which is perfect!

well that's it for now... I'm off to eat lunch with Cyn and get a tour of her job which she works at the EPA.. how cool is that?!

Till next time... Forever YEKNOM!

SPRING TIME!!

Well, I haven't posted in a long ass time so on this rainy day I thought it would be appropriate to fill you all in on how everything is going. I got to admit it is going GREAT! It's officially spring time and I couldn't be happier that it is nice and sunny outside, well except for today since it is raining.

Another great thing that has happened is that I am back together with my girlfriend and I couldn't be happier now. I am currently on a quest to find a job by her in North Carolina so we can finally get our lives going together. It is hard to find a job when your not in that state your looking in so that is why I am taking a week and a half break from my current job and heading down there to find my self a job! There are 2 benefits to this move, 1. I can focus and really hit the pavement hard and get me that job down there 2. I get to spend a freaking week and a half with my awesome girlfriend!

Other than that I haven't done to much with my life right now, I go riding as much as I can, light permitting. I also made a really good friend on XBL and a Dance Off enemy on Twitter. I will explain later about the dance off enemy (lol). Its fun to have someone that plays the same game as you, but shit he is a good street fighter player, kicks my ass all the fucking time!

well there is not much more that I can deem worthy enough to tell you guys, all I know is that the next time I make a posting its going to be me telling everyone that I have moved to North Carolina!

Till then Stay YEKNOM and stay fresh!

OUCH!

Well yesterday I was riding my bike down a pretty challenging hill, well its not really all that challenging but after not riding for 5 years it was challeneing to me... ok. So I was bombing down the hill when I slid out on a bunch of rocks and I went tumbling down to the ground... I have a feeling I blacked out, but I am not to sure. Well anyway my day was shot so I packed my bike in my car and went home, my neck and back were KILLING me. My best friend was ice, and a hot shower. It turns out I hit the ground a little too hard because my helmet was cracked and my rear rim bent... so it's costing me $40 to fix the rim and I have a old helmet I can use for now. So yeah I am out of commission till Saturday..... On the up shot I might be participating in a bike race in May some time. So I have a couple of weeks to get into racing form, or at the very least not die of exhaustion


That's all for now.

Till Next Time, Stay YEKNOM!

The Rush Feels So Good

Well as I told everyone in the last post I went and got my race bike all tuned up and the other day I took it out for a good spin. I miss the feeling of blasting down a challenging hill. You just can't beat getting outside and not think about anything but whats right in front of you!

So today I went out to the like bike path in Yorktown and just rode for a couple of hours. Not to challenging just needed to get out there and clear my mind, there have been a lot on my mind and I wanted to get some clarity and just rode. Boy am I rusty when it comes to wheelies, I use to be able to ride for miles on one wheel. Now I can only go a couple hundered feet... its a bummer but just wants make me want to get better.

I really got to find a helmet mount so I can take some epic moives lol.

Well till next time, Stay YEKNOM and stay in the light of the YEKNOM!

Why Isn't It Spring Yet?

I hate all of this gloominess outside, just soooo depressing outside right now. I haven't posted in a little while so I wanted to let everyone in on what I have been up to....... Not a whole lot lol.


I have recently started to go back to the gym and started my diet, which is a lot harder to do when your not in the right frame of mind. But I am doing it, also I have lost 5 pounds already... WOOT! Now that the sun is starting to come out little by little I am going to start back up my mountain biking love that I once had. See back in the day when I was a wee lad of 15 I use to ride in the NORBA series of racing, and I was pretty good at it, until I took a bad spill and kinda gave up on it. So I think it is now time to dust off my race bike and start hitting the mountains again. I love the feeling of grinding up a challenging hill to have the thrill of coming over the peak and just blasting down the other side. God I miss that and will be getting back to it...... expect videos of me blasting the hills!

So other than the working out and getting back into mountain biking I have really haven't done that much. Oh I came up with my new tattoo idea and its going to be the KONAMI Code with the power symbol on my wrist like a bracelet. I think its unique and really shows my love of gaming and my devotion to keeping the gaming side of me intact because I really do love gaming, it has kept my hopes and dreams alive and is a good way to make friends and its another form of competition. Plus you don't have to be the best to enjoy the thrill of gaming!

Well that's all for now if anything happens that is of post worthiness then I shall post it.

Till Next Time Stay YEKNOM and Stay saved!

Only Time Can Heal This

Well it has been a couple of days since I have posted so I think today is a good day to post. I really don't know where to start because my life has just been turned on its head in a matter of a few days. My girlfriend that is now my ex-girlfriend has recently left me after 5 1/2 years because she does not feel the butterflies anymore and that we have nothing in common. I was planning to move down with her and start my life with her very soon and now that she has left em I need to re-evaluate my life and its goals. So in order is my new life plan (So far)

1. Go back to school
2. Get back into shape
3. Finally get my second tattoo!
4. Have fun with friends again
5. Find someone that loves me for who I am

Those are my goals for now, they may change they may not change but the important thing is that I am setting them and no one else is. Time to take my life and put it back into my hands.

Yesterday was my best friends wedding, a cruel twist of fate that his wedding was actually moved up a week. I called him on the off chance that he wnated to hang out and when I called him he told me he couldn't today because he was at the church ready to get married. Holy shit I told him and he said to me please make sure your here I couldn't get a hold of you for a while and it would really mean a lot if I knew you were there. So I had 30 mins to take a shower, Eat, Shave, Dress my self and make it to the church..... and it was all accomplished and I got there on time, well late the bride was late hahaha.

So I know am starting a new life of self exploration and self discovery.

Have A YEKNOM Day!

Friday the 13th

Well, today is Friday the 13th and most people associate the number 13 as a bad omen and especially if it falls on a Friday. I am not one of those people, I don't believe that the number 13 is unlucky nor do I think that Friday the 13th is the worst day combination of the year. I today had a great day to be honest with you... although I did do something uber embarrassing, but I will get to that later.

I haven't posted anything in a couple of weeks because nothing really that interesting happened to me in the past 2-3 weeks. I usually go to work, come home, eat, then game till I fall asleep. See now isn't kinda boring? Really if you read that day in and day out you would not want to read this blog.... really I wouldn't lol.

So today I wake up and find out the hard way that we have no heat in my house.... so no heat means what.... come on take a guess....... figure it out yet? No, OK take a couple more seconds........... OK times up, what that means is that there is no hot water, not a drop. A little back story to go with this is that I am not a morning person, I can barely function until I get a cup of coffee into me. So I wake up and get naked and turn on the shower then I go check my mail.... Yes I check my email in the nude..... you might think that is weird but I am actually multitasking. See I turn on the shower and let it warm up, that takes about 3-4 minutes to do so, so I go to my computer and check my email to check if there is anything good.... most of the time there isn't much good but sometimes a get a nice surprise. So anyway back to my morning, as I finish checking my mail I get up and head to the shower.. now usually I check to see if the shower is warm but today I was in a rush and just jumped in..... and that's when I found out there was ABSOLUTELY NO HOT WATER!!!! There I am still more than half asleep and naked jumping into a FREEZING cold shower and if you could see my face and hear me scream you would think I saw a ghost while simultaneously being murdered.... go ahead and just picture that............ OK.

So after my "refreshing" shower I get ready and head out to work. That was mostly uneventful except I was stuck behind a old lady that was doing 20 MPH in a 40 MPH. So that was frustrating but the kicker was that when I got into work she was one of our customers, and she wasn't all to please with me because I was "kinda" tailgating her and I "Might" have passed her on the road. But damn shes is pushing 90 years old and really really shouldn't be driving. My coworkers agreed with me and told me they all would have done the same but they would have flipped her off as they passed, I didn't do that I was a little bit nice to her as i passed.

there I am at work and doing my normal thing, take customer, give out cash and all that jazz. Then one of my coworkers who has been dealing with a jeweler that has her expensive diamond bracelet in his possession for about a bout finally gets it back. Here is the kicker I look at the bracelet and the clasp that had broke off which is why she took it there to get repaired looks like a 4 year old went at the clasp. The solder (I didn't know solder sounded like SODDER, damn my dyslexia)job was horrible. She then told us how much it was going to cost her.... go ahead and take a guess................ nope your wrong..... the guy had the balls to charge her $150!!! I was pissed and you got to know that the lady that this happened to is the most timid little thing and the most kind hearted person you will ever meet. This fuck bag tried to take advantage of her and that just isn't right. So I told her that WE are going back to this guy and telling him WE are not happy with this.... She was scared shitless when I told her this, but she said OK. I got to tell you I am not a guy that likes confrontations I generally avoid them at all cost but when you try to fuck over a god person I will go ape shit on your ass! So I take a walk down to the jeweler and this guy is the typical scuzzy jeweler type, I tell him that the work he did was shit at best and for him to take his work off the bracelet. He complied with the utmost quickness, I am a big guy and he really really didn't want to get on my bad side. At this point my friend is turning white, and that is really hard to do because she is born and raised Irish lol. She was so happy I did that for her that she couldn't stop thanking me. I didn't do it so I can be thanked I did it because some slime ball tried to take advantage of her and that just isn't right.

After that little experience it comes time for me and Donna (a coworker of mine) to close up the bank and start proving up. So I am standing next to a fan because it is god awful hot in the teller station and I am working on running the checks and all of a sudden I sneezed and this was one of those sneezes that you lose control of everything and I mean EVERYTHING.. and I then proceeded to fart something nasty like one of those gut emptying farts. I am no standing there thinking to myself "god I hope no one heard that." Oh boy was I wrong, it was the sound that got to them... It was the smell. I hear Donna ask me " why do I smell sauerkraut? Brian do you smell that?" I tell her no because at that point I am like oh shit. After my boss leaves the tellers station I go to Donna and tell her that she wasn't smelling sauerkraut it was me and I had a sneeze that caused the gut clearing fart, and she just couldn't stop laughing, we both couldn't stop laughing it was fucking funny! I love the girls I work with, this stuff is funny and not disgusting!


That was my day today, wasn't it just full of ups and downs, conflict and resolution, flatulence's and laughter. Just a really really great day when it comes to Friday the 13th. Oh and today is exactly 6 months till my girlfriends birthday so happy 6 months to your birthday birthday!


Till Next time same Yeknom channel same Yeknom time, (not really, when ever I feel like letting you all know what is going on :) )

The Good Stuff Keeps On A Rolling

I got some more great news today from the lovely world of Twitter! I got home from work and I see a Tweet from Trixie360 saying that she has some Halo Wars Limited Edtion Games that she is giving away, special preference to people that the economy has screwed. So I told her that I am at a bank that is not doing so hot right now (which is compeltley true) and boom I got a FREE copy of Halo Wars Limited Edtion coming to me. How freaking sweet is that, the other day I get some sweet ass gear from Skate 2 and now today I get some even more sweet ass swag from Trixie360! Like my girlfriend says, " good things come in 3's" so I am keeping my fingers crossed that the next email I get is from a employer from N.C. asking me to come in for an interview!

Other than the news of more sweet sweet swag nothing really happened today that would require me to let the world know...... well maybe..... no thats about it I am going to go and hit up some fools in Street Fighter IV. Oh yeah thats something of note....

Street Fighter IV that past couple of days has been a cruel mistress to me, one day I am on top of my game kicking ass and taking names and yesterday I couldn't win to save a monkeys life. I went 7-10 last night not the worst but still it was not a good night. I use Ken and it is hard when I go up against Blanka, he is a pain in the balls in the right hands. On a side note I hate it when people call me a noob for using Ken, for the love of god I am good with him and I know his moves so why the fuck wouldn't I use him? Really think about it, if you were good at something or good with a certian thing wouldn't you want to use it to the best of your abilites? Or would you appese the masses and use something or do something that is totally foreign to you just to make other fucks happy? Well that felt good to get off my chest.... Now I feel like kicking some ass!


Till next time, keep your heads high and your YEKNOM higher!~

SWAG!

Allrighty then, here it goes....

Yesterday was a great day to be me! It first started off with a semi-snow day, I had to go to work but there were no customers and I got to eat sushi for lunch. So I get to go into work and get paid to do absolutely nothing and to top it off I got to eat some really good sushi.

The snow was fun and I got to go and drive my Subaru in the snow which is always a fun time (although my girlfriend hates it when I go out and have fun like that in my car.... sorry babe!).



Now here is when the fun really starts! I get home after "working" all day, I go and do my usual routine of stripping out of my work cloths and get into my relaxing home cloths, then I hop online and check all of my Tweets I missed during the day (since I don't have a smart phone anymore), then I hop on XBL and get to gaming. SO now you know my routine. As I start getting into a game of Street Fighter IV (which by the way is freaking AWESOME!) I hear a tweet come in from Twirl and it was a @ message to me..... So I check to see what it is and it says....

Hippyjump
: Congratulations to @BigB1347 for winning the Skate 2 Shoes and Custom Deck. Thanks to everyone who entered, more giveaways coming!

I now am slightly freaking out a little bit because.... shit I never win anything online, there are thousands and thousands of people that see the same thing I see and go and do the same things I do so me winning anything like that is a million to one (not really but the odds are not that great in my favor). I get on the phone and I call my girlfriend and tell her the good news, (I love that she loves it when I get excited like that. She really accepts me for who I am and what I do... even when its pretty dorky sometimes). So yeah I won a pair of kick ass etines Skate 2 RVM shoes and a custom deck from Skate 2! So I got to say thank you again to @EA and @Hippyjump for having this contest!


Now I am off to get some more gaming on and maybe some sleep because I have work in the morning.


Till Later Be Good and Stay YEKNOM!

My Bed Time Story

Well I have just written my literary master piece Called "Squeakers" and now for the whole world to read..... This is the story that my girl friend wanted for about a week now, so I took the time and wrote her the best bed time story that I could possible think of...... ENJOY!

Once upon a time in a far far away land lived a ducky named squeakers. Squeakers lived with his 5 brothers and 5 sisters all older than him. Squeakers was not like the rest of his family, he didn't like to go swimming in the pond, he would rather sit on the beach and watch the waves as they come into shore. He didn't like to eat crackers that the humans gave him, he would rather eat cheese that he got from his mouse friends. He really didn't like to fly south for the winter he really really enjoyed the snow and liked making snow ducks.

One day one of his brothers asked him why he like to do all the things he did and squeakers told him that he wanted to be different so that he could stand out from the rest of his brothers and sisters. His brother looked at him with a realization that his little brother wanted to be so much like his other brothers and sisters but it was hard because there were so many of them. So now Squeakers and his older brother started to hang out and do the things squeakers liked to do. They would go out and fly backwards and bark like dogs, just to be different.

He and his brother really loved to hang out and do really weird things together. They were nearly inseparable until it came time for the great migration down south. The brother didn't want to leave Squeakers behind but he was to afraid not to go. Squeakers was OK with it and told his brother he will always love him and he will be right here when he returns home. But the brother decided to stay with him, whats the point in being weird if you cant share the weirdness. It turns out that weirdness brings people together and he wouldn't have it any other way.


Till The Next Time......... BE GOOD AND RESPECT THE YEKNOM!!!

Wow Nothing!

Allrighty then I didn't do a damn thing today and that felt great. Well you must be thinking to yourself how can somebody do absolutely nothing now or days and I say on to you...... its easy. Sometimes you just need to kick back and just relax and just do nothing. I'll be honest I did do a little bit today, I woke up at 1 pm and did laundry, that was the extent of my work for the day. The rest of the day was devoted to playing games and kicking ass and taking names.

My gaming marathon kicked off with GRID, for those who are not familiar with the game I will fill you in on it a little bit............ IT IS FUCKING AMAZING! It is the best racing game that I have picked up in a very long time. Sure it isn't a Grand Turismo it still is one of the most exciting , polished and fast game I have played. I was hell bent on getting some gamer score out of this game if it killed me. There were 1 achievement that was mocking me for the longest time and that was Gentlemen Driver. That required you to not touch another racer for the whole race, and that is no small feat with me..... I like to smash into things muahahahaha. So I finally got that one and then went for 3 more. I unlocked Power Seller ( Sell a car for more than its worth), and 2 that came with the 8-Ball DLC. One was Drift Master ( Obtain 99x Combo in a single drift combo) that one took a little bit of time since getting to x99 was new adventure to me. The farthest I previously got was x75. So that was pretty cool when I Unlocked it, then I went and unlocked Clean Passing ( Start from the back of the pack with an 8-Ball car and make it to the front).

The next game in my marathon was Skate 2, I just wanted to play this game and really didn't have any gamer score to obtain just wanted to have some fun before I went and played with the guys tonight in Call of Duty: World at War.

Great segway into the finale game of the day/night..... Call of Duty: World at War. Tonight was an especially fun night since we got 6 guys with us and we rocked the house and didn't lose a single game.

I am so tired right now and going to wrap this up and say that after watching the Nitro Circus tonight on MTV is that Travis Pastrana is a crazy dude. He nearly killed him self while jumping into the grand canyon.

Till Tomorrow, Stay tight and stay right!

Just One of Those Days....

Well where to start with today, where to start. At work today it was the start of everyone having to work all day. All I have to say is that we all got a little delirious and had a little too much fun at work today lol. I can go into detail but damn I was laughing so hard I can barely remember what was being said. So other than that work was fun and no hold ups that's always a plus.

My night tonight consists of me and my 360, and what a combo that makes lol. So I started out the night with a little Lost and The Damned. That was fun until I got stuck on a stupid mission where you have to kill a bunch of Angles of Death with pipe bombs and that frustrated the fuck out of me. I then proceeded to switch over to Call of Duty: World at War and played with my cousin and his friends and that I played from 8pm till about now which is about midnight...... and it was great. The best moment of the night happened when B Bomb was one kill away from getting dogs and is down but not out and is calling for some one to revive him and one of our new friends Jak hammerd goes right over to him...... looks at him and then......... shoots him in the head! He pressed the wrong button and all of us started to bust out laughing and I think I nearly pissed my self. It was that great!

While I was playing I got a text from my girlfriends sisters husband asking me to bring down my twister bed playing sheet. I think to myself, self how does he know that? and then it hits me that Cyndi told them lol. So now the cat is out of the bag and they all know that I have a twister sex mat lol. Now I have the husband texting me and Cyn texting me and all at the same time so I respond to the husband and then to cyn. So now I am texting the both of them and Cyn is getting upset because I am texting the husband first and mind you I have a new phone that is not a text friendly phone so it is hard as balls to text people. So one thing leads to another and she calls me a doche bag lol hahaha. So the husband tells me that they are all sitting around the dinner table and don't want to get up and they all don't want to talk to each other so everyone decides to text random people and that is how it came to be that I get called a doche bag lol.

So other than that my night has been uneventful and otherwise non-entertaining.

Till Tomorrow,

Hey!?

All right time for another installment of what I call my life.

As it turns out the fall out from the new hours at my bank might just be beneficial for me, although it couldn't come at a worse time per-say. As I sit at my station I over hear one of my co-workers tell her husband on the phone that she is going to quit and look for another job, well shes going to quit when she gets the job she isn't that dumb lol. So a person in my shoes (part time teller with no benefits to speak of) would be jumping for joy at the prospect of moving up the ladder and getting paid more and getting benefits. Right well, I am caught in a conundrum in that I am currently looking for full time work down in North Carolina so I can be with my girlfriend. Yes, you might say that is dumb to move to be next to your girlfriend but, she is the one for me and will be my wife and I want to be as close to her as possible and being in New York is killing me. Also my house is falling apart at the seams (family not structurally) so that is another reason I want to get the hell out of here. If I get the move up to a full time teller that will delay me leaving this house and prevent me from being next to my one and only. That's where I am in this mixed up world of adult hood. Now on to the less depressing stuff OK...... OK!

After work I come home all geared up to play some Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and The Damned expansion. That was until I get an interesting Tweet from EA..... there is new DLC for Skate 2!!!! and guess what it is................................ Rob's Fantasy Factory! Holy crap is this not the most amazingly detailed skate plaza I have seen in a video game. The only thing I wish that they had was the foam pit...... I know what your thinking and that would be a nightmare to have to render all of those foam cubes or that just wouldn't fit into the dynamics of the game, but come on how cool would that have been to come flying down the factory into a giant foam pit. OK moving on, I down load the DLC and get to playing and all of a sudden I get a message saving that I just got some gamer score and look to see and boom this expansion comes with gamer score. I thought it was just going to have a new park to skate and that was it but what a surprise to find gamer score to go along with it. That just makes me happy that you get something back when you shell out $5 in DLC and get something back more than you expect.

Now I sit here in my broken Papasan chair and I am watching the Office and really want to go play some Lost and The Damned now.......... So I am..... LOL


Till next time, this is your everyday gamer saying good night and respect the yeknom!

Back To Work

What a day this has been today.... well not really but I'm going to make it as exciting as possible lol. So today was my first day back to work and it went swimmingly because I had a tummy ache this morning and for all of those who know me, that is definitely not a good thing to start the day with.

As I am getting ready to walk to my car to go to work I checked my email and discovered that my preorder of the new Street Fighter IV game was not purchased, and that really got me upset because it was the special edition and now I look on Amazon and its $104 NEW!!!!! So I was a little upset but no big deal.

I finally make it to work from my grueling commute (5 mins if there is traffic) and I get in and the ladies are not in the best of moods. It turns out that the bank is now looking and is going to be open an hour later now. That might not seem like much but hell these ladies were ready to bite heads off, they are very very set in there ways and this might just send some of them over the edge to retirement. That would be great news for me in that I would now have a full time job but I am looking to move to North Carolina and that would delay my move which would really really suck. Now the ladies are upset and they want to know how my trip was and if I found a job down there. I told them no but I am looking and they immediately said "Fuck that your ass is staying here until this time shit blows over!" Once again this is a direct quote from one of the ladies there and is in no way changed or re-worded. Other than that exciting tidbit of information work went pretty good, no one tried to hold us up and all the crazy insane customers stayed at home.

Now as I go to relax and get comfy I get an email from Amazon telling me that they were unable to process my debit card and I needed to re input my card again. Being a little suspicious of that email I decided to have them call me. They have this neat little feature that has them call you when you want to talk to a representative. A little screen pops up and says "Call Me" then it I press it and it says "Calling" then "Ringing" and holy shit the phone is ringing and its them. The little things like that blow my mind sometimes. So now that is all taken care of and ready to ship on Monday, I am a happy camper now.

To hold me over at least will be the new DLC for GTA IV as in The Lost and The Damned. So far my first impressions is that this is no just a mere add on but a whole new game with a new way of using the world around you in a different light. I have only played maybe an hour of it so far but I am loving it. Another game that will make up for most of my gaming is Call of Duty: World At War, which I usually only play with my cousin B Bomb and his friends FoxRiders88 , Tiny Blue Pony and Zak Bauer 24 . Oh yeah my name on Xbox Live is BigB1347 , the creation of my name is from my nick name which is B and I am also a pretty big guy so that's were Big comes from and the 1347 at the end is a combination of my girlfriends lucky number "13" and my lacrosse number "47", there you go that's where my name comes from.

Now that I have given you insight into my day and my mind I leave you off with this.... RESPECT THE YEKNOM!


Till tomorrow when the light breaks and the world awakes,

Brian

First Of Many

Well were to start... I am getting into the whole blogging world because of my lovely girlfriends blog. I want to bring to this blog a sense of my every day life and mindset that goes with it, your going to find what has happened in my day, the games I play and what I think about them and your also going to find what I feel is going to be the most entertaining blog out there (I have big aspirations)

So lets see here, I am 23 years old currently living in the state of New York in a small (really really small) town called Crompond. Go ahead I will wait for you to go and google it..................................................... back OK as you can see my town is UBER tiny. There is not much to do around here other than go out with friends and play games. Well that's at least what I do personally. Currently I work at a even smaller savings bank called Emigrant Saving Bank of New York. Don't let the name fool you this bank does not service the state of New York, mostly the city and when I say the city I mean maybe 10 banks in the WHOLE city. I like what I do and love the people I work with, they are as they put it; "A bunch of post menopausal crazy women." That's there own words.

Let start this blog of right with what my day consisted of.... and we are off!


Today I left my girlfriend's apartment in North Carolina after spending the best 5 days there. I flew down there for Valentines day and the weekend it self. I had so much fun and ate really well ( you will learn that I LOVE FOOD!). Cyn' who is my lovely girlfriend had a surprise waiting for me when we got back to her place. She made me a rice krispieheart with marshmallows that were in the shape of a "B". That was just the start of the great weekend I had there.

So I can go more into that or you can just check out Cyn's Blog that will give you more detail on what we did that weekend at You Call This Work...


So back to my busy day of traveling, it all started when I got up at 5 am to make it to the airport by 6:55 am flight. So that wasn't toooo bad I got to the airport in plenty of time. The only thing that sucked was that I was seated next to a big guy and that should never happen, to big guys next to each other on a plane is a bad thing, well at least uncomfortable.

Got back to NY without a hitch paid for the long term parking and got home and went to sleep..... which I need to do again.


Till Next Time,

Brian
