12:28 AM, on the computer
What I'm listening to: New World, from the .hack//Legend of
Twilight's Bracelet Soundrack (what can I say, I like anime theme songs)
Yikes, I think I must have slept for at least a day and a half... let's see. I went to bed at 1 AM Tuesday morning, woke up around 6 AM, went back to sleep at 7 AM, then slept til 6 PM, woke up and called the church to let them know that I wouldn't be there to run the projectors, went back to sleep and woke up at 9 PM. Lesse..... that's um..... Nineteen hours???? Yeesh!!!! Well I hope I'm caught up on my sleep, I'll never get a job like that *L*
Speaking of jobs, an interesting offer came my way... a good friend who lives about an hour away, whom I met in Men of God, said he'd "edumacate me in the ways of HVAC (Home ventilation and air conditioning)". He lives in Memphis and makes a decent living. I've been thinking about it for a few hours, and it seems like a sound idea, and I like working with electronics and all... I'm gonna pray about it really hard, because if I took the offer I'd have to move to Memphis, and while that wouldn't be a bad idea (great anime store there, skate parks, Beale St jazz clubs) I wouldn't want to leave my church. Wait... Memphis... Bellevue Baptist... Adrian Rogers. Hmmmmm.....
Well anyway, I wish I had known this sooner but there's already two episodes of the Animatrix (The Anime Matrix) out already.
WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS ALREADY???
Anyway, I'm fine I assure you. Well, I'll be fine when I can get my sleep schedule corrected that is. It'd be nice to have a job too. I just checked gamejobs.com and found some interesting reviewer positions open. I'd be all for those, and considering I have some small, brief, experience as an editorial writer for an online gaming mag... it's just too bad that the site never got off the ground. Or did it? I dunno.

Listening to: Handbook for the Sellout, by Five Iron Frenzy
What is it about mp3's? I have probably 250 CD's and listen to none of them. Yet I have at least 800MB of mp3's around here somewhere and it's all I listen to these days. I buy a CD, then rip the singles I like, and then never touch the CD again. Weird.
I'm bored.
I'm really bored. I should go to sleep... but I'm not sleepy. I wish there was something I could take that would put me to sleep without any side effects or or addictive tendencies. Hot tea? That's a good idea... and as weird as it sounds, caffeine always had a relaxing effect on me. I would seriously drink a glass of coke before going to bed when I was a kid and be out in 20 minutes (combined with reading).
I could always read my Bible, I don't think I do that enough. But then again I don't think anyone could do that enough. Hmph.
Well people seem to ask me this a lot, so here's what happened to me after one of my earlier journal entries:
Early after March 26th, 2002 I went back to Radio Shack. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but after working in retail for so long (and getting raw deals from two district managers from two companies) it seemed like a good idea at the time. But I was apparently still a little bitter from not receiving manager pay from my old RS store. I could've sworn that I wasn't though. Well anyway I left there in August (leaving a notice just in case I ever needed to go back) and started going to temp services. I really enjoyed doing the office work they gave me, and I even got to work with a firm that was doing testing for government employment with the FBI (later to be assimilated into Homeland Security). That was cool, and I made over $1500 in two weeks doing that job. Heck, I paid for the PC that I'm on now with that job, as well as knocking my debt down to an all-time low.
As far as transportation goes, I traded in the lil red Escort and ended up with (believe it or not) an 83' Jaguar XJ-6. *sniff* I love that car... and only one more year until I can get an antique car tag, then I never have to buy another car tag again... whee! The insurance is remarkably cheap too! Now if only the gas prices would go down...
2:40 AM, still on the computer...
Listening to: 9 out of 10, by Justifide
I'm reading some of my earlier journal entries.
Man I used to be a pervert.
I should really delete those, because they could be used against me. But maybe I should keep them, because they're a reminder of how I used to be.
3:42 AM, still on the computer, still awake.
Skillet rocks.
4:14 AM(???), yes I'm on the comp, yes I'm still awake.
This really needs to stop... ironic how I'm having the same sleep problems I had over four years ago when I first started this journal. It's kind of neat reading them and seeing what the Lord's done in me. I hope I read this entry four years from now and think of how much I'm different. I wonder what I'll be doing... I hope it's not being unemployed and living with my parents. Maybe I'll be married? Ah, who cares.
4:38 AM, no comment as to where I am.
I just read that I used to go to bed around 11 PM. I don't even remember that.
5:28 AM. Still up.
I'm tired of this, I'm gonna go sit in my bed and read the Word until
a) Tomorrow comes (wait, it's already here)
b) I pass out
Anywho, g'night (g'morning?)
11:08 AM, on the computer
Guess what?? That's right, I never went to sleep!! Yay!!!!
It's wierd, my eyeballs feel like they're on fire.
I've decided to initiate Battle Plan Codename: Shikata Ga Nai* today, which consists of (and in no particular order):
Like I said, no particular order....
On a side note: My dad brought home a rabbit the other day??
12:58 PM, still awake
Ahhh...... ramen with stewed pork.
1:44 PM, still away (but barely)
Man, I shouldn't have eaten that ramen... the warm food is making me drowsy... mustn't go to sleep... must fight it....
3:30 PM, on the comp
There's actually a rabbit hopping around my living room. Yeah, I let him out of his cage, but still... how often can you say that a rabbit hopped around your living room? Oh how cute he's licking his paws and brushing his face with them!!!!
I've clearly been up for too long.
6:06 PM, digging the comp
Pocky pocky pocky pocky...
8:37 PM, barely on the comp
Must survive... for four more hours.... I can do it.... I... must.... do it.... why the.... heck am I talking.... like William... Shatner?
10:09 PM.
I just watched the lastest.... uh, latedr... um... latest episode of .hack//Legend of Twilight's Bracelet. So tired I can't even spell... only two more hours. What will I think of this in two years?

12:44 AM, on the computer, yawning my butt off
I made it.... whoa..... kinda went over too. Hey neat, this entry went for 24 hours. Man, my day was boring.
*Means "No way to avoid it"
