Okay to update, my caluclationsd on minimum wage were based on ceo compensation not the rate off inflation. Using an inflation calculator from the federal reserve bank off Minnepolis and the BLS website I gigured one off the highest minimum wage levels was in 1963 when the minimum wage was $1.00 per hour, indexed for inflation to 2006 we get the equivalent of $8.27 per hour. Secondly, got my test results back, I avoided another probation period which means Im on scholarship for another semester. I also got my disability paperwork pushed through finally, they made it hard enough. Im still in the albertsons gm department, cooperating with management we have successfully cut official backswtock by about 90% and have been able to eliminate a 30 hour a week position and a full time position, however,albertsons is dragging their feet on my performance review which is pissing me off. (Im supposed to have one oncve a year, last one I had was in August of 2005). Looking on Lj Ive noticed mandy had graduated (congradulations good luck in college), and several other things have happened. I think I want to be a professor but we'll see how I do for the rest of my college lie before I set anything in stone, stuff is fairly good though I end up being very busy. I also am dating someone yaaayyyyy. Well thats it for now.

One Statistics exam down along witgh the last reading assignment for humanities and quiz. It went by so quickly this semester. I hope I can stay on scholarship, Im going to be pulling hard and fast, it will take much effort to pull this off so I need all the good vibes you can send me. Had a talk with my humanities teacher, had an interesting discussion on Calvin and Hobbes as well as the definition of self. Thats it for now I must write a paper on the life the universe and everything tomorrow.

The system is down |
] |
The garage door is still broken; the plasma center screwed me out of money. Brokeback mountain is still depressing, I still have the van though the insurance runs out soon, the room is messy again after being clean. And my cellphone is still down. I shall address all of this as quickly as I fell like it. I'll be honest Ive been a lazy @$$ lately I mean the time before last I updated was in November. But Im happy to say that I seem to be comming out of the slump as I have done laundry today for the first time in over a month, and I wrote another smutty yet heartwarming fanfic. This calls for celebration. Duh duh duh dadadaa duh duh duh The system is down the system is down.

P.S. did you know that if the minimum wage had kept pace with CEO compensation since 1990 it would currently be over $23 per hour??? I think utd a modest proposal is pulling my leg so I have to reverify that statistic.
I also need to say I have a new yahoo instant messeging account the user name is hentaikouga

>>>dusts off cobwebs<<< Ive decided to update and go through the trouble of resetting my password >>>livejournal was giving me crap about my password<<< So here is the status report: I have the possibility of staying on scholarship but its really close so I need everyobody's good vibes and prayers. Second thing, I went to Ushicon and All-con while you guys missed out. Work is good and hard like usual and Im finally getting ahead on my bills. I found a plasma center near balch springs and hope to arrange a group today to go out there and make some money. I am still single and loving the freedom, and now my parents are letting me use the old van (its become a money pit). Im looking for a new economical vehicle and better part time jobs. Kim if you could send me your new address I will send you some videos you have to see. Ohh update also, I have seen the Brokeback mountain, and while I found it to be good I also found it to be very depressing. Looking forward to a-kon hopefully I'll still be on scholarship. I also plan on updating this livejournal theme to match my new cosplay character.

Well the anti-gay marraige amendment known as proposition two passed by a landslide 75%. I pointed out to my parents and to my conservative friends that there is already a defense of marraige act and my mother replied that they needed an amendment to make sure gay marraige was not honored in this state, because if that happened before you'd know it people would want to marry their dogs. My devious side got an idea from Boston Legal last night, I wondered if beastiality was banned in Texas, and strangely enough it isn't. So lets get this straight until 2003 in this great state homosexual sodomy was illegal, however, heterosexual sodomy wasn't. In 2003 the Supreme court struck down the Texas sodomy law, but I find it interesting that in this state where we put our foot down on stopping 'deviant sexual practices', bestiality is not illegal. Heaven forbid that we might someday have to honor a civil union or a domestic partnership. So in reply to those who say that this law upholds morals I say "So bestiality isn't immoral". I for one believe that the GLBT community deserves some sort of marraige equivalent and was outraged at the cheering writers of this amendment who declared this a victory of morals. In a promising note however, at UT in Austin the student vote was 4 to 1 against this amendment; republican backers of prop 2 explained this as typical rebelliousness of the youth. In other news, the strong mayor proposition for Dallas died again while the downtown homeless shelter passed. Feel free to flame me for this post, everyone has the right to their own opinion and I have the right to delete posts as I see fit (I rarely do that) and disagree whenever I feel like it.

Some of my favourite sayings from the angry retail workers forum Ive joined:
My paycheck is a loss leader
Kiss our service sectors
WOuld you like a bag---for your head
BLuer than the blue light special
Underpaid, overworked, and out to get ya
Where the boss is at a loss
Leveraging Human Capital Right Back at ya.
Proving the surplus value theory, one worker at a time.
If retail is theater, put me in the actors guild
Where the disgruntled getg there gruntles back
WOrking like a perm, feeling like a temp
Where the most defective returns are customers
Where the employee is always right
Home of the big phony smile
SO anyways. GOing to speak with my academic advisor if I cant pass this next test.

[26 Aug 2005|09:26pm] |
Okay here it is the stuff my heart desires but I know I probably wont get.
Neon genesis Evangelion soundtrack or just the song Kanon in D by Johan Pacbell >>I really want that song though the soundtrack would be killer I also don;t car eif any of these things are boot leg or not<<
Inuyasha soundtrack especially the symphonic version
Cool music >>send in everything you have if need be I'll even send you burnable cd's<<
The Complete Inuyasha Set >>this one I definately expect to be bootleg, but I would like it to be good quality as I will probably burn copies for my friends<<
Anything that would enhance my kouga outfit >>going to try to get the miroku character back up and running<<
Or if you are low on funds and want to do something nice to acknowledge my existance
A card will work as long as it be on time, it can be handmade, bought, just please acknowledge my existance some way in a form if nothing else I can put on my desk.
Lastly.
I know everyone been quite busy, so no hard feelings if you can't call, or send a card, or a present, or an email. I am not sure what Im going to do for my birthday, probably work or maybe get off early and talk to friends I don't know really. Its not like 19 is a big milestone like 18 or 21. Now when I turn 21 I will have a big bash with lots of super happy funtime.

Been here 4 days, and I be starting to lose it, Ive had course reschedulings out the wazzoo and now my sleep schedule be messed up, I went to bed at like 4 last night, and woke up not able to sleep anymore at 8. I am freaking nervous about tomorrow's test, how I ever passed the test to get into Calculus I don't know. Anyways some good news, I got a new bike. And uhhh, uhhhh, I haven;t missed the turn in date for any assignments yet. Ohh tonight if I have time I put together my birthday list and maybe post pictures of my sweet ass dorm room. But now I must bike to class and read another chapter of introduction to C++ before it starts. Ohh I forgot my dad bought my books for me, yaay, well all except one, he nearly had a heart attack though when he saw how much textbooks costed nowdays. Over and out for now.

Okay, got my wisdom teeth removed. Didn;t hurt as much as I thoght it would, was sedated for the proce3dure, the most painful part was the novacaine shot >>>they hit the nerve they wanted to avoid, causing much pain and temporary paralysis of my lower mouth muscles. Almost jumped out of a moving car after the procedure >>thought the car was stopped so went to step out of the car to get my paycheck in reality we were headed home at 40 mph luckily mom pulled me back in<<. I spent the rest of Thursday as high as a kite totally out of it, I don;t remember most of it even when I was awake >>after yelling my lungs out during the misinjection of novacaine they pumped me full of sedation drugs<<. I spent Friday dreaming on the hydrocodine, had a few premonitions that were very vivid. Talked to Kim and my new lovey dovey relationship. I know I swore I wouldn't have anymore far away relationships, but this one, well this one really isn;t much differen't except the roles are reversed, the ultimate irony huh?? Tuesday I move into my dorm if I have everything ready that is. This is a new stage in my life, new roomates, new living enviroment, having to do everything for myself; I think this may be a positive change, I need to grow up a little bit more. Ohh btw, when I get more reliable internet connectionsd and more free time I plan on giving this thing a html overhaul. I am so nervous/excited/anxious/ambitious/scared/estactic, I hope I can live up to expectations and maybe even surprise some people as I have found it the only way to silence the criticisms of my parents about my freinds/lovers even though even then they aren't quiet. Ohh more exciting news I forgot to tell, I got my first performance review, I bombed it, however, I am being considered for a P.I.C Position which stands for person in charge, though it would be a headache and no extra money its as close to a management position I can get and it looks good on a resume, I hope I can be a good P.I.C. if I get the honor of being tried out. Ohhh I made the management smile today, >>went up to chedck on tomorrows schedule and they all had a good laugh at how out of it I looked<<. Ohh if anybody wants to know more about whats happening in my life >>yeah cold day in hell when my life is actually interesting<< my email is the same as always and my contact info hasn;t really changed much. Well goodnight to all and too all may have good mental and dental health.

It feels remarkably good to be on vacation without any worries, though I miss my cable and will really miss adult swim Saturday and Sunday nights. Grandpa and Grandma are really nice and are giving me many tools and records. Today I realized my readership is about 2 people, a bit disheartening but does it really matter no it doesn't. I don't really post often enough anyways or have enough drama in my life to holld a captive audience and that is probably a very good thing right now as I was long overdue for some R&R, true R&R without anything hanging over me like the apartment or letters to write or work. If anyone wants me I'll be online most the night, though on my cellphone I am currently roaming so im is preferrable.

Last night I was propositioned by several people. Last night I was flirted with. Last night many people realized I was legal, young, and tender. Last night I realized, I am playing a cruel game. This game of relationships, isn't one to play when you don't know where you are. It was a cruel thing to play this game when I didn't know what I wanted, for how can someone brace themselves for the future when they don't know what it is they're loved one will want tomorrow; what if he decides he wants to be single. James made a decision tp be with her. I am poision disguised as dinner though, for I don't know who I am. In fact, all I know about myself is what everyone sees, not even I see past the cardboard exterior of my box. I realized though I care about people enough not to put them through this, Ive made the mistake once. Let be known I am a risk, you have bettter odds with Vegas then you have with me, and not because Im picky but just because I change directions so much. This isn't just a phase, I will find out more about myself in time, but this is how I live for I find sedentary lifestyle boring. Enough about that though for I am smiling, why am I smiling you ask; because I had a kickass time and I had people come through for me, they know who they are but I'll thank them again. Thanks Kim, James, Doug, and Casey. The past 4 days have been awesome and I cant wait to do it again, to meet new people, to be glomped, to see others try to strut their stuff in interesting costumes. This summer I am going to try to change for the better, I am going to try and get a gym membership and be a better housekeeper and probably a better friend. You know alot of people think Im off-the-wall-crazy but I prefer it that way, for it often a nice contrast to my often serious nature. I love a-kon, the people I meet there are like few I meet everyday. Congrats to the elevastor volunteers for zero over loaded elevators and to the medical staff for handling the crowd so well. Well wish me luck tomorrow, I return to closing the deli, but at least the give me time to do it now. Bye a-kon attendess, I love you all.

A-kon is almost here. I am filled with hope and anxiety. Ticket check, hotel check, costume???, keys check. Ohh crap crap crap, gotta confirm stuff, okay let see, I get off work at 9 thursday night which means I wont be out of there till close to 11, which means I wont be ready to go until 11:30 probably, is the ride from cala still available?? Apartment key check, pills check, money check, why do I feel like Im forgetting something?? Ohh snap the banquet tickets, I gotta find those. Gifts for friends, ohh crap I gotta get ahold of Zack. Okay time cleared off for work, check. Sleep, checked somewhat (didn't sleep much last night because I thought for a second I'd lost the apartment key (turned out to be on a keyring in my change/key/time card box)). I still have to make a staff quickly that conforms to kon regulations. Packed suitcase not checked (still gotta prepare more stuff). Let this be a lesson for all of us, don't procastinate when it comes to trip planning. Transportation (maybe checked). Hair (messy). I gotta get stuff ready tonight, especially if someone else drives me. Apartment cleaned (not checked planning on doing that very soon). I still have to do some baking too. Ohh well, I get off around 10 pm tonight if anyone wishes to talk to me, yeah I know I haven't been online lately (my computer died). Much to do much to do, may everyone else manage their to do list better than I have mine.

[26 May 2005|10:24pm] |
I would like to thank James and Kim for kidbnapping me and taking me to dinner their last night in Dallas. And the trick they tried to play on me at work, that triggered many a chuckle as I reviewed the events of that day. YOu guys will always be in my thoughts and prayers. See my life is not all woe, with friends like this I can face anything even the cold I suffer from now. Which made work hard since the drainage I had causedme to go mute for several days. I had to run around work with a pad of paper and a pen to communicate to everyone one but nevertheless made it through my workweek with0out taking a single sick day. A_kon is comming yaayyy, I can hardly wait to meet everyone there. I hope my Kouga armor comes out well, and my miroku costume as well, thanks again to Doug, Casey, Kim, James, and Dougs dad for working on that. Ive decided Im not going to be looking for love at this kon. It is far better to just have fun and let happen what happens, if I find someone great if I don't at least I will leave with a smile on my face a spring in my step and happy memories. My friends are the best friends in the world and I thank them for all they do for me. Yaaayyyy a-kon. ANyways more big news, I am about to graduate, so thre youngest member of the trouble posse is finally come of age and ready to venture out on his own. Im sort of nervous seeing all the hardships James had to endure, I am strong, but he is no weakling, hopefully I he has taught me enough so that when I fall it wont be as hard. Someday we will look back on this, sipping margaritas, reminising about old days and we'll realize how woderfully improbable the circumstances that led to where we are now are. Everyones support has been great, but especially James and Kim. This is a sick Miroku signing off, wishing everyone good health, wealth, and much happiness.

Okay yesterday was fun. At work me and my manager got to deliver a grill to someones house; unfortunately he didnt want the floor model because it had too many fingerprints on it and yet he still wanted it assembled, so we spent forever assembling it, which I actually enjoyed. Then we load it into my managers truck, tie it down and take off and 45 seconds into the trip it falls over and gets a huge dent in it. We stand it up again and then it falls over again, this time Im holding the grill while my manager mess with the bungee cord when all the sudden after he secures it the bungee cord whips back without warning a whacks aginst my face---HARD. He goes "Ohh shit you okay?" and I search or broken teeth and I say "Yeah I think so, lets deliver this b*tch". After all is said and done the guy surprisenly says nothing about the dents anbd that day ended pretty well bringing me to today. Yesterday before work I was carting around 20 pounds of cat litter on my bike when all the sudden my front suspension broke. I have been told this isn't really fixable since mongoose doesn't make the part I need. But this important point brings me to today. I was riding my bike to school after "fixing" it last night, when all the sudden after hitting a small bump I hit everyday I lost control and tried to brake when I did it jerked around and rapidly stopped throwing me ohh about 4 or 5 feet somewhere between 15 and 18 mph. My right knee came into contact first immediately ripping my jeans, next came my right should where the friction scrapped through several layers of fabric to just come short of bleeding; ending with a face slide of probably 1 and a half feet with extreme pressure. So in short, my face is f**ed up right now. It was sad I go to school and everyone is asking me if Im alright, (understandable, but then I picking up some stuff for Kim at Parkland and while walking this one lady glances back at me and starts walking faster, then she glances back agina and breaks into a run, trying to get away from me. This has taught me that it really really isn't nice to have people stare, and its even worse to stare and then run away as if you are horrified by what you see. I mean its a freaking hospital, when Im at a hospital I expect to see horrible trauma or burn cases, this is just a few cuts. Anyway after I picked up said objects, I wondered around for over an hour because I was terribly lost and somehow I ended up going past UT medical center??? Parkland is cool but creapy, I mean I wondered halls for ever and saw very few people, some of the halls look like they could be from the shinning. Anyways went to the movies afterwards and saw Sky Blue, very good graphics I must say and the free popcorn at the Angelica Film Center was a great deal. So in reflection upon the past few days I say "Yeahhh",lol its been a pretty interesting time, good at times and very educational. So please share your insight and experience.
