Your not in Kansas any more TOTO!!!

What do you believe!

2007-05-25T17:23:35Z

From the book "American Gods," by Neil Gaiman! Pretty much right on target if you ask me!

I can believe things that are true and I can believe things that aren't true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true or not. I can believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and Marilyn Monroe and the Beatles and Elvis and Mister Ed. Listen--I believe that people are perfectible, that knowledge is infinite, that the world is run by secret banking cartels and is visited by aliens on a regular basis, nice one that look like wrinkledy lemurs and bad ones who mutilate cattle and want our water and our women. I believe that the future sucks and I believe that the future rocks and I believe that one day White Buffalo Woman is going to come back and kick everyone's ass. I believe that all men are just overgrown boys with deep problems communicating and that the decline in good sex in America is coincident with the decline in drive-in movie theaters from state to state. I believe that all politicians are unprincipled crooks and I still believe that they are better than the alternative. I believe that California is going to sink into the sea when the big one comes, while Florida is going to dissolve into madness and alligators and toxic waste. I believe that antibacterial soap is destroying our resistance to dirt and disease so that one day we'll all be wiped out by the common cold like the Martians in War of the Worlds. I believe that the greatest poets of the last century were Edith Sitwell and Don Marquis, that jade is dried dragon sperm, and that thousands of years ago in a former life I was a one armed Siberian shaman. I believe that mankind's destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy really did taste better when I was a kid, that it's aerodynamically impossible for a bumblebee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there's a cat in a box somewhere who's alive and dead at the same time (although if they don't ever open the box to feed it it'll eventually just be two different kinds of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself. I believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn't even know that I'm alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of causal chaos, background noise, and sheer blind luck. I believe that anyone who says that sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly. I believe that anyone who claims to know what's going on will lie about the little things too. I believe in absolute honesty and sensible social lies. I believe in a women's right to choose, a baby's right to live, that while all human life is sacred there's nothing wrong with the death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no one but a moron would ever trust the legal system. I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.

What do you believe?

Peace!!

HONEY YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GAY IS!!!!

2007-05-12T13:23:48Z

Good Morning!!! Well last night Ron and I went and saw Spiderman 3. Overall it was a pretty good movie! A tad bit corny in some parts, but for the most part I liked it. There's a bit in the movie where Peter Parker is wearing the black spiderman costume underneath his regular clothes. He's walking down the street, strutting his stuff, pointing his fingers at women, kinda doing a 70's version of "Staying Alive". Its quite ridiculous to watch if I must say. The reason I bring this up is that there is an assistant manager I work with at Wal-Mart who actually acts like this all the time. His name is Robert Diamond! He is about 5'11, Filipino/White, wears his hair short. He's actually a decent looking guy, but I swear to you he walks exactly like Peter Parker did in the movie, and does the same head movements, eye winking and all that stuff that makes Peter Parker look ridiculous in that sequence. Of course, when Robert acts and behaves this way I call him a "DORK." He also likes to be called the "DIAMOND." No lie. He is definitely a character. When we saw this sequence in the movie I pointed it out to Ron and told him that was exactly how Robert is like. He laughed, because he's heard a good deal about him.

The other funny part about this sequence was, after the movie was over I went to the men's restroom. While in the restroom there were four young boys, probably ages 11 or 12. The boys were talking about the movie and one of them says the only part that he didn't like was the part where Peter Parker was walking down the street and acting gay doing all that weird stuff!!! Which caused me to laugh! Then another boy said to him, "you mean just like you"? Of course the other boy said, no and was embarrassed. I stopped for a second and thought, oh my honey you have no idea what gay is. I told Ron the story after leaving the bathroom and he said I should of spoke up in a real deep voice and said what I thought. DEEP BOOMING Voice, 'HONEY YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GAY IS!!" Then we laughed, and I said they probably would have ran out of the bathroom screaming like little school girls.
To me, its kinda funny how that one part of a movie could have so a profound effect on you. I found it all quite amusing!

OK, well have a good day, and don't forget your mother!!!!

"Every Hour Wounds, The Last One Kills."

2007-05-10T22:44:37Z

Well its 6:35pm. I just woke up about 1/2 hour ago. It's beautiful outside. Too bad I slept the day away. I would probably still be sleeping if I hadn't of had to pee so bad, plus I was freezing my ass off. Slept downstairs in the basement bedroom and it is alway cold down there. It's nice for sleeping in the hot summer time!!

Last night at work was actually mundane and boring!! Nothing exciting happened. Although I got a ton of stuff done and now have had three good nights in a row. I'm off for the next three days Right now I'm reading a new book called American Gods, by Neil Gaiman. So far so good. It has some good quotes in the book! Maybe later on when I get into it I will give you a synopsis and an opinion.

"Every Hour Wounds, The Last One Kills."

Isn't that the truth!!!

Too bad life is harsh in this way!! I would call it a pessimistic quote. But all in all every hour we live has some adverse minute affect on each and every one of us. Whether we shed a million skin cells, or we laugh at a funny comedian, or someone we love is oblivious too us, it affects us in some ways.

Well no big plans for the three days I have off. Lots of reading time, get the deck in order so I can sit outside and enjoy Michigan's fine weather. LOL.

People Drive Me Crazy!!!

2007-05-09T13:28:35Z

OK, its been a while since I wrote. Still working for Wal-Mart. Now instead of being the grocery manager, I am the third shift assistant manager. I work four, 12 hour days in a row, then get three days off! Been doing this for 2 months. For the most part it has been all right. The last week or so has really sucked!! I guess that happens to everybody. Whats stupid on my part is that a lot of crazy shit happens on third shift and I haven't been writing them down. So here goes.

Last night, I was up at the registers around 1:30 am chatting with my CSS (Customer Service Specialist) about what needed to be done for the night. There was a lady who had an exchanged that needed to be done. Well my CSS was busy running a register so I volunteered to do the refund. So the lady followed me up to the service desk. She was white, in her mid 30's, about 5'2, brown hair, glasses, little bit heavy set and was wearing shorts, a black top, and had a sea shell hanging around her neck. As I walked behind the counter to help her she asks me if body wash is the same thing as body gel. As I tell her "yes", she has this bottle of body wash held up to her nose and she's sniffing it. So she puts her bag on the counter and I ask her what it is she wants to return. She doesn't answer me. She sniffs the body wash again! So then she asks me if I know whether or not if the Sam's Club credit card she used will charge her this month or next. I told her it depends on what day the cycle of her credit card ends. I said, when is your due date on the credit card. She tells me its the 21st of the month. I said "have you received this months statement yet"? She tells me no. I told her that it would be a very good possibility that it would still show up on this months statement. Then she says she doesn't think it will be on until her June statement. I'm think to myself, why in the heck did you ask me then? So then I tell her, that I don't know for sure, but that was my guess. So then she says she might call the card company and find out. So I'm just standing there waiting. Then she sniffs the shampoo again. After that she starts talking about how she doesn't want to have to pay for it this month, but wants to pay for it next month. So again, I'm just standing there again, waiting! So finally after a few minutes of listening to her talk about the credit card thing, I tell here it really has nothing to do with what month it is. Usually credit card bills are done from one cycle to the next based on a specific date. Like the 21st to the 20th, or the 5th to the 4th. Then she says, well if thats the case, I'm going to cancel this card. I'm standing there thinking, this lady is freaking crazy!!!! So finally I say one more time, "what do you want to do"? So she just stands there and smells the stuff one more time.

After that, I can't take it any more. I signed off the register! I walk from behind the counter and head back over to the registers where my CSS is. I get real close to Jackie and I tell her in her ear real quietly, that "the lady at the service desk if F'IN crazy." Jackie looks over at the desk, then I walked away!!!!

About 10 minutes later Jackie pages me over the intercom. So I ring her up, and she tells me I owe her big time!!! I laugh out loud!! Jackie tells me the whole same scenario I went through, she went through, and that the lady is upset with me, and that I hurt her feelings!! I was like, how did I hurt her feelings. Jackie said she said I knew that her card was for emergency purposes only, and that I didn't act like much that I cared. I told Jackie, "that lady is crazy, she sniffed that bottle way to much."

So anyway, thats pretty much the exciting story of the night. The rest of the night went pretty good. Hope everyone has a good day!!!!

IT'S BEEN A WHILE!!!

2007-01-13T00:59:53Z

Well its been a while! Seems like time flies and that I've been working a million hours a week. I average about 52 hours a week at Wal-Mart. Its never less and usually more. A lot of stuff has happened since the last time I posted a journal entry. I may talk about all that later on when I have more time and when I'm not so tired.

I'm just glad the weekend is here, although I have to work Sunday. It's ok though, I have Monday off. Tonight I'm going out to the Club MI (mi stands for merry inn), it is one of the older gay bars in flint. They are having Mid-Michigan Bears bar night tonight. Now I'm not a member of the Bears at this time, I still have quite a few friends and acquaintances who are. So I am going to go meet up with them, and my partner, he gets off work at 9 tonight, and I'm going to have a good time. It will be good to deflate from work and just socialize with other bears. I'm off tomorrow and have a feeling the majority of my day will be sleeping. LOL. I might get on here and fill in the gaps from Dec. 22nd to Jan. 11th. We'll see.

It was two nights before Christmas...

2006-12-24T03:24:36Z

Hey there. Today was a pretty good day. We were busier than hell, but it went by really fast. Nothing absurd happened and no one got really pissed off. So you can't beat that.
The cool thing that happened to me today was when I got home from work! When I got home and walked into the living room there was a brand new stratlounger sitting in the living room with a red bow on it. It's ausome!! For about the last two years I've been teasing my partner Ron that one day there would appear a Lazy Boy or Stratlounger in his living room. Of course Ron never seemed to kean about the idea as it would not fit the décor of the living room. The living room has an oriental type look and feel to it. It's really cool looking but not real comfortable to relax in. So the chair just blew me away. I already took my first nap in it. It was ausome.

After my nap, Ron and I went out with friends to BD'S Mongolian BBQ. Now we are at Club 2101, which a gay dance club in Flint. That is where I am writing this. I have an audiovox phone from Verizon that is also a PDA. I will have picture's of the chair and my PDA on here later.

HO HO HO HO!

2006-12-23T04:38:35Z

Well only two days left before the big day!!! People are tired and cranky. Me, I'm just tired. Luckily I had today off. Didn't do to much, Slept in late, went to Long John Silvers for lunch, then took a nap. Naps are good!! I did work last night. It was crazy at Wal-Mart that's for sure. I'm tired of people bitching and moaning because we don't have what they want anymore. Well you know what, its not my fault you started so frigging late Christmas Shopping!!!! So HO HO HO HO! Merry Christmas!!!

I can't think of anything to say!!

2006-12-20T02:19:54Z

I just set up my account. I've been reading the accounts of others on Live Journal for quite a while. One I'm real fond of is bearinslcjournal. I accidentally found out about live journal while looking at his profile on bear411. I hope this journal will be entertaining for anyone who reads it as well as being an avenue for me to express myself. I plan on talking about my days at work, and things I do in my spare time. I think I have a pretty decent sense of humor and hope I can express myself in that way. Actually my subject title says I can't think of anything to say. I actually have plenty to say, and over time I'm sure I'll spill my guts!

Just a little about my day. I'm over the holiday season. I'm sick of Christmas candy!!!!!!!!!!! I'm the grocery manager at Wal-Mart and I've been stocking, moving, selling, stocking more, moving more, and selling more candy since Halloween. Hmm, I think I did the same thing before Halloween, seems like maybe I have a bit of De Ja Vu happening. And you know what really sucks? I just got 12 pallets of VALENTINE'S candy in. Candy hell will finally end after Easter! To clarify my position at Wal-Mart, I am the Grocery assistant manager, which means I am over dry grocery, paper goods and chemicals, frozen, dairy, and all that crap people buy at the front registers when they check out. Well I'm going to close for now. My partner is on the way home from work. He's a drug pusher by the way. The legal kind of drug pusher. (pharmacist)
