"Just Take It One Thing At A Time"

To sort of explain my title a little bit. Have you ever had to do something that while looking at it as a whole it seemed daunting and possibly impossible but then you start the task and you just do it one piece at a time or do one thing at a time. Before you know it the task is completed and your left thinking to your self "wow that wasn't nearly as bad as I had originally thought it was gonna be". In the restaurant business(especially as a food runner) you just have to take it one table at a time, just focus on getting that one order out and then move on to the next one and before you know it you have served 130(that's just people that's not counting salads and appetizer plates) people in just under 2 hours. Now I am trying to integrate that philosophy into my own life, I just have to take it one day at a time and not make so many plans down the road because if you do you are only asking for disappointment. As I look at my life and all the things I have planned: Saving Money, Getting a Laptop, and then Moving Out with Jeremy and Eric, It all seems like there is a good chance that it will all fall through but as long as I take it day by day hopefully I can look back and be like "wow I am actually moved out and away from my family and living with Jeremy and Eric" so that was a "short" explanation haha.

Now before I start I want to post a response to Chris' blog because I didn't get a chance to today and since he kinda wrote a long one for me I thought that I would include my response in my blog, so here it goes.

I am also one of the few to experience a brelinner, and I kinda like it cause I don't feel as fat because I am not wasting the day by eating a whole bunch of shit LOL.

I laughed about the sub parenthesis cause last nights blog was the first time I have used them to :D, and why hate on Dewie.

As soon as I buy another 360 I am most definitely buying Dead Space and as for Bioshock I unfortunately never finished(actually I didnt even get that far) but from what I played it was an AMAZING game.

I fully appreciate the shout out and I am glad that I have been rewarded for the hours I put into waiting for your blog even though I would have been up anyway LOL but it is a great thing to read right before I actually go to sleep. I also pride my self on being one of the only ones to completely read all of your blogs no matter how many words.(I hope you do the same:D)

I swear I really need to stop being so lazy and catch up with Chuck it sounds like a show that I would absolutely love and the clips that I see are hysterical. One day my friend I promise I will watch all the previous episodes and catch up. Also I have agreed with you for the most part about Heroes and what they have done lately and I guess I just am not that into it anymore(I mean I still watch it every week but I am not into it enough to do research and things of that sort like I do with LOST[wow I am a nerd maybe not as big of one as Chris' but I am my own kind I guess, not to mention I am using sub parenthesis again] although there will never be another LOST)

I am very happy to see you actually socializing with somebody, there is only so much loneliness a person can take before they snap and I feared you were reaching that threshold.

About the orgy you have nothing to be sorry about, you are 18(legally an adult) you are out on your own in Orlando and you have the right to do whatever you want as long it is kept within legal bounds.

and you already know my position on the video blog we had a text discussion that I really dont feel like copying haha. But as soon as I get a laptop with a webcam I will join you if of course you decide to do it.

OK now I can start on my blog, I am warning you it isn't very long cause the only I really did was work soooo...

I woke up to no music no nothing and fearing the worst I quickly checked my phone to see how late I had slept in, after letting my eyes adjust to the light I realized that it was only noon(Phew!) I got up and walked straight to the computer like I always do( I can't wait to get my laptop so that I can just lay in bed[Uber laziness]) but I noticed something different, it was my sister laying on the couch on a school day. The reason she stayed home was because her face was kinda swollen because she got punched in the football game the previous night, but that wasn't the only reason my guess was that she was still "heartbroken" about Michael(in my opinion she was asking for it so she can't be too sad). So I hopped online and dugg around a little(haha a digg joke[only chris will get that one :( {wow I need to stop all this sub parenthesis wait... now I am in a sub sub parenthesis}]) Seriously I need to stop that! Anyway all I did was watch some videos... oh and last nights episode of Heroes, it was good but up above I explained where I am at with the show. Then 3:30 rolled around and I had to get ready for work so I could be clocked in by 4. OK I forgot to mention this before but the way we all clock in and out is by a device that reads your palm print(a hand scanner) you type in the last 5 digits of your SSN and put your hand on the scanner but you have to make sure that your fingers are touching all the little posts sticking up out of it, anyway its so bad ass and definitely the most creative way of clocking in and out I have ever seen. Back to my day, I got there right on time right as everyone were enjoying some chicken tenders and fries so I grabbed a plate and joined the rest of them. Now on Tuesdays we have live music and this was the first week that it was back outside under the tent in the back of the restaurant, so I had a whole new table layout to memorize luckily for me the table numbers were on the tables. We spent the next hour making sure that everything was ready for the 100+ guests we would have that night. Everyone started showing up around 5/5:30 about the time the band started playing. As everyone was being seated outside I realized how hard of a night it would be(and here is where my title comes from) before I knew it we were underway. I want to make a point, I know how busy restaurants can get I worked at Blue Water Bistro but Rosie's is a totally different kind of busy. At Blue we would do somewhere from 300-500 people but it was spread out over like 5/5 and half hours but at Rosie's we have 100+ but they all come in within a hour or two. So Blue is more people but spread out and Rosie's is not as many but all concentrated into a short time. Anyway I decided to take it one tray at a time and not get flustered over the quantity of people out back getting ready to order. Although having a bad ass executive chef to talk to makes it much easier, we often have little quip battles he will say something witty and then I try to counter with something equal or better(he usually wins LOL) but he is such a cool guy and I am glad he is not a dick like some boss's (ahem Diane)<--- for Jeremy haha. Before I knew it the night was over and I was on my way home to chillax(Chill/Relax) so now I am here finishing this and about to watch House M.D.

oh and after a conversation with Chris I will also ask my readers if they would hate or enjoy watching my fat ass on a video blog I feel that I could possibly be a good personality on film but it would only start out as a experiment and nothing permanent so please give me your honest opinion(although I doubt anyone will... well Chris but I already know that) sooo......



Peace Out!


Damn only 1500 words I was hoping for 2000+ two days in a row, I guess I am not Hays caliber yet but I am getting there.

Ya we did already talk about it. And I posted my reply to all that stuff where you posted the comment on my blog. I know you got an email about it so you will see it, but everyone else can just know its there. Same for the video blog idea.

Oh, and taking it one step at a time is the only way anything gets done. I would go crazy without doing that.

It can't hurt to try a video blog. Maybe you'll like doing it, maybe you won't. One way to find out, eh?

Video blog is win. You can borrow my video camera until you get your laptop if you want.
