I don't know when...

but someday soon something will change.

I need a change in my life. A big one. I told myself I wouldn't still be here when I was this age. Here being Richmond. This age being 25. But fuck if this town and all it's trappings aren't comfortable.

But lately I've just been so over it. Not in a cool way. In a I need to move on with my life and start over way. I love this town. I love most of the people in it. Even the ones I don't get along with. I love that I went to a punk rock show tonight, then drove five minutes away to watch a friend of mine spin hip hop and that wasn't at all weird to me. I love that I know the fastest way to get from my house to any of the 98 malls that are in this town. But that is the problem I guess. Richmond, you are a lover I have become bored with.

My job is so comfortable. Great pay. Little actual work. Cushy. Comfy.

Why am I awake. Oh the two redbulls I had after 12am would explain that.

I'm supposed to drive to Virginia Beach tomorrow after work to see Converge. I have no one to go with. Maybe that will be fun though. The solitude of my own mind. I like spending time with myself it's very good for me. Or it's turning me into an introvert. But I find that most people bore me so maybe it is a good thing.

Oh well.

I need a rich old woman to pay for my ridiculous lifestyle.

I want an Audi R8. And a Ferrari. Someday.

I want to learn more about how cars work.

Ok that is all for my late night ramblings.

Falling Down

By Scarlett Johansson. How did I miss this? Did you know that she is a singer. I guess a budding singer. I actually like the song. Her voice is original in my opinion.

Don't be lame!

See Justin Spears before he gets hitched!! Come out!



My coworker is gettin' all hitched y'all!

A few birthday pictures.

Sexy flats!

Les Prairies de Paris
Les Shake Patent Open Toe One Band Flat

Proof positive that a flat can be every bit as sophisticated as a pump.

Patent leather flat with peep toe and band detail at vamp. 3/4" stacked wedge heel. Suede footbed and leather sole.

Made in Spain.
$365 because beauty isn't cheap.


And how cute is this:

Choose your side.

I made some changes to my layout today. Got rid of all the messed up purple stuff that was showing up for a while. Unfortunately still can't figure out what's going on with my archive links. But I did find that when you click the month link you can read all of those posts, you just can't click the actual post titles. So not a huge deal.

I've spent the last 3 days recovering from my birthday celebrating which was on Thursday. I drank entirely too much. I won't be drinking for a while. Well not drinking like that definitely. But I mean not even really drinking to get drunk. I can actually handle myself pretty well as far as setting limits on my drinking. I attribute that to not starting to drink until I was about 23.

Sooo yeah. Here I am. 12:22am Monday. It's been raining all day Sunday. Really dreary and shitty weather. I did manage to make it out to get a smoothie with a friend of mine which was awesome. Hung with him for a bit. I miss my roomate. He's one of my best friends and we have a blast together. We also live together, but he's in a band that tours for most of the year. They just released a new record so they're touring in support of that. I pretty much sit at home when I'm not working bored out of my mind. I don't have many friends in the city like I used to. I kinda pushed a lot of people away. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

This should be one of those epic sweeping rambling posts. But I doubt it will turn into that.

I think it is actually threatening to be over at any minute now. I'm starting to not like some things about my job. One of the things that attracted me to the job was the freedom. But now I feel like that is being taken away or stifled. Creation of new managerial type positions disguised as otherwise, threats of people being fired for pretty trivial things. This isn't what I signed up for. And we have a work meeting at 7:30am on Tuesday. Maybe they'll lay down the law. Fuck it.

Gatorade is so good to me. Perfect cure for all hangoverness issues.

Tooo me!

I am now the proud owner of this:


Thanks to my bff Monica. Unfortunately I can't find a link for it. But they are available at Sak's.

I am still depressed about being old. I will take cookies or smoothies to cure this.

My archive links don't work.

Which sucks. But this is awesome:

I am at work today. 10am-9pm. We call that a "double" in the biz.

I've only had one customer so far today. I turn old tomorrow. I am being a grouch about it. Just let me get past this year then I can have fun again. But for now I will whine about being 25. Lol.

BlogBlogBlogBlogBlog!!

Two posts in ONE day! Fuck me silly!

So one of my friends the dynamic Mr. Brandon McCall has started his own blog. I can't figure out how to link it to my page yet so I'll post his url.

Brandon McCall Presents: B E E N S W A N K

Seeing as how I spend atleast 33 hours of my week in front of a computer, I check a lot of sites and blogs daily. I find the best things on them. I'm going to share them with you.

I must have this. It is so hot. Quite fit indeed.


This is hot. I tried it on today at South Moon Under. Awesome Marc Jacobs necklace. It actually looked good on me. And only $98.




I'm not sure who is head of Sony's marketing team but they are amazing. Go youtube search their Bravia ads. Amazing. I think this is party of them as well. Anyways, saw this on NOTCOT.



If you like the above things, make sure you peep the links. Check NOTCOT, and NOTCOUTURE daily. It's how I stay up on things.

I'm going to be 25 in two days. Weird.

I just spent $1300 on my car.

New lofts are being built beside mine, and the construction crew takes up all the good parking spaces. That's pretty annoying.

I've been listening to "Destiny" by Zero 7 constantly for the past two months.

Everyday I wake up and think about how much time I've wasted being fixated on someone who likely never wanted to be with me. I'm still not sure if that person is what's keeping me from being happy. What's worse is that I totally hate this person and by that I mean I totally want to be with this person. I think. Sometimes.

I really, really like cookies. Really.

I also got a new BlackBerry. I now have 4 phones. Two BlackBerry's. Weird and excessive.

I want to go drive my car. Really fast. I did that last night though.

I need to be nicer and stop "going so hard" as my roomate says. Sometimes I just can't help it. I'm spoiled and when I don't get my way I don't like it.

I have way too many days off on my new schedule. I'm off three days a week, and I'm starting to go insane.

My roomate always encourages me to get drunk. The problem with that is when I drink I wake up early. So here I am awake, and he is sleeping soundly. Lame!

Does anyone read this?

My mom is doing my taxes. I'm supposed to get money back and not owe anything which is good. Well that's what the accountant most of my friends use said. But then she wanted $500 and my car wanted $1300. So I just got my car out of the shop instead. So now mom will do them for hugs.

I wonder if she'll message me on my birthday? I wonder if I'll be drunk at that point and get really hostile with her. Hmmm.

"Who wants to spelunk down my meat mountain?"

I had sushi last night, and it was so good.

What's up with girls getting boyfriends and not telling you, but just dropping off the face of the earth?

Customer interaction.

Customer comes in. He was a pretty nice dude. Older blue collar kind of white guy. After a bit he goes "why are you dressed so preppy?". I think he caught a glimpse of my bright blue socks.

I ask him how should I be dressed? He goes "well you don't have your pants hanging off your behind or anything like a lot of these young people do".

Oh word? I'm pretty sure his use of "young people" was a euphemism.

I'm not sure

Why my blog is showing up in messed up colors like that. But I don't think I care enough to fix it.

I hope my car gets fixed by tomorrow. Apparently I need a new radiator. Lame. It's been at the shop for almost a week. That really bums me out.

Just a lil' bit.

I have a full time job. My job is only full time by my job's standards. We get a new schedule every three months. We get together and have a draft. Oh wait lemme go back a bit. I work in the wireless phone industry doing small business account management, and a bit of retail work as well. So back to my story. Whoever has the most number of new activations (new contracts) in that 3 month period gets first pick of schedule in the draft. Meaning if you sell the most you get whatever schedule you want.

So here's what I got. I have 3 days off a week. I work 4 days a week. Two of those days are double shifts. I work about 33 hours a week. Far from full time. My average is 8 hours a shift. Which actually is just what a normal person works. So as you can see I don't really work all that much compared to every other 24 year old out there. This job has spoiled me. I do less work than my peers, make more money, and have more time off. Kinda sweet.

Now on to my real point. Working in a store a few hours a day means I meet new people every day. I absolutely love it. I love meeting people. Even the angry ones that yell at me for things that aren't my fault. I pretty much have a crazy customer experience at least once a week. I'm going to start blogging about them.
