I can’t even remember what I have done since I last posted. A lot of seraching for jobs, a lot of sleeping, and a lot of searching for jobs again.

I think I’m staying in Spartanburg for the summer. I also think that is the first time I have ever said where I am from. It wouldn’t be that hard to figure it out though. So yeah, in case anybody wants to know, I’m in Spartanburg, SC. Come pay me a visit and we’ll have lunch. Just be sure to bring money with you since I have no job. I went and met a friend from Columbia the other day. I had never actually met him in real life, but he had graciously offered me a place to stay and we met to talk things over. I could have seen living with him, but after talking to my parents (who are now probably staying in Spartanburg for at least the summer) I figured it would be better to just stay at home with the family. Rent is cheaper (payable through babysitting), Homecooked dinners are great, and it’s always fun playing a game of baseball with the neighborhoof kids.

Ok, so I technically got hired to sell kitchen knives today. After a 3 hour fucking interview. Has anybody ever heard of a company called Vector? It was one of the most bull-shit companies I have ever heard of. I kept looking around for the illegal columbians smuggling drugs or cubans making cigars because the place just reeked of some business used as a front by the mafia or something. The “district manager” was some girl who couldn’t have been a day over 24 and the guy who interviewed us all was easily under 20. Oh yeah, he was the “assistant manager” too. The company statistics they were throwing around was an absolute joke and I normally I would have left half way into the group interview he gave us, but since I had already wasted my time up to that point, I just had to see if they would hire me. He called me back into his office and talked about how selective they were and how only a very few amount of people are hired and then he gave me the whole “I’m gonna act like you didn’t make it except you really did” routine and then SURPRISE he told me I was “hired.” Oh yeah, so was EVERYBODY ELSE! What a joke….

Last night a group of me and my friends went out to celebrate my friend Nhan’s birthday. We went to HOPS (a local brewery / restaurant) where we ate (I also applied to be a server) and then we rented some shitty movie and quickly switched it out for “The Ring.” Ok, with most movies, I can accurately predict the ending somewhere in the middle of the movie. Movies like, The Sixth Sense, Signs, Stir of Echos, stuff like that you know? But damn did The Ring not totally throw me off. I wasn’t even close. I would suggest anybody who hasn’t already seen it to go do so….now!

A few days ago I got an e-mail from Jess that I really needed to get. It helped me like nothing else. We’ve talked a few times since then and it’s reminded me all over again how much I miss her, but how much I want to help her. Not being or really talking to her for the whole summer though is still gonna suck. But you’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do.

When I was unpacking my old stuff, I found a letter I wrote when I was like in the 1st grade and it had a list of things I wanted to do when I got older. One of them was “Beat 100 video games” and that got me to thinking, have I actually done that yet? And I’m talking about no codes, cheats, etc. (show me one person who actually beat the original Super Marion without using those damn warp tubes). So I started a running count of games I can think of over in the video games section. If anybody sees that I’ve left a game off, let me know!

Well I am off to bed. Ronak and I are going job hunting tomorrow at 11, so wish me luck. I’ll post tomorrow night. Until then…
