NOT Politics as Usual(Not a Maverick or My Friend)/Wow!! Where Do I Begin?!

So it has been quite a while since I sat down at my computer and wrote a full out blog but I am finally back and ready to catch everyone that reads this which is like 2 people maybe 3 or 4 up to date.

During my 4 days and 3 blogless nights, my life has taken a very unexpected but needed turn. The last blog that I wrote was all about how sad I was and how I have been just waiting for something to change and finally it has and I am so happy because everything is starting to fall in place just the way I had hoped it. Now if the rest goes the way I want it I will be living with Eric and Jeremy by February of next year. Which is about 4 months away and I can't wait. With that said I want to just get into something brief before I start from Wednesday.

OK now I didn't want to get into politics that much but in the past couple days somethings have happened and somethings have been said and I can't ignore it any longer. I will now be going into rant mode so anything I say can't be held against me and if you are a Republican I suggest looking away and just skipping this paragraph.
So the past few weeks the economy has been going to shit and ever since McCain supposedly put his campaign on pause to "rush" back to Washington and "fix" the economy which by the way took him like 22 hours to get there from New York(that is not what I would call rushing) but after the first presidential debate Obama's poll numbers have growing and McCain's dwindling. McCain knows that he can't compete with Obama when it comes to the economy and even at one point the aides of his campaign said that he wasn't going to talk about the economy anymore(which is a terrible idea considering that the economy is the most important issue right now) so anyway since McCain has realized that he is probably going to lose to Obama so they have resorted to their last ditch effort and that would be to try and make Obama look like a terrorist to try and sway the undecideds over to McCain's side. Now I honestly don't believe that the Republicans actually believe that he is in fact a terrorist but they have been doing little things like pronounce his whole name at rallies(Barack Hussein Obama) even at a rally down here in Estero, Florida they got the sheriff Mike Scott to appear and talk about Obama's middle name(Scott is now under Federal investigation for appearing at the rally and influencing voters with is police uniform, which is Illegal) Them(the republicans) have also been trying to link Obama to William Ayers(was a domestic terrorist) who 40 years ago co founded the radical left organization the Weather Underground, which conducted a campaign of bombing public buildings during the 1960s(when Obama was 8) Through all of McCain's and Palin's rallies the past couple of weeks its been: "Obama is a terrorist" "Obama is friends with terrorist" "Obama is fiends with Bill Ayers and pals around with terrorists". Most Americans are idiotic and very ignorant(especially republicans) and you are wondering why mostly republicans, well because most republicans are conservative and church going people and if they can be brain washed by religion and and believe anything that comes out of a bible or out of preachers mouth than they are going to probably going to believe whatever there presidential candidate is going to tell them. So the past week at McCain and Palin rallies there supporters have yelled out such ignorant things as: "Obama is a terrorist" "He is an Arab" "Treason" "Traitor" and such hateful things as "Kill Him" and "Bomb Obama". It honestly makes me sick to my stomach to hear fucking stupid ass people say such ignorant and hateful things as that I mean even if you don't want him to be president or if you don't like him as a public official you don't go around and spout of such things it only shows that you have absolutely no respect for anyone. I can't believe so many of these people populate America and the world were are truly a species destined to completely destroy ourselves(check out the movie Idiocracy) but seriously I can't believe this is happening. It is all McCain and Palin's fault that this is evening happening. I am at least content to see that McCain has seen that this is going way to far as proof by the video of a guy telling McCain that he was going to having a baby soon and that he was afraid to raise this child in an Obama administration but McCain actually said that Obama was a genuinely nice guy and someone that they shouldn't be afraid to have as president to which the crowd booed him. Another instance happened where a lady didn't want Obama as president because he is an "Arab" and McCain quickly said "No No No Obama is a nice family man that I just happen to disagree with" They have finally realized that they have gone to far and they are now trying to put out the hate flames the they have ignited but is it too late? I am afraid that what the McCain campaign has started can not be reversed and may lead to a possible attack on Obama's family and himself and I am saddened to see how many people just blindly follow someone of power.


Now on to a much happier and less rantic note, my last few days have been very enjoyable and have made me happy for my future.

Wednesday October 8, 2008
I am not going to go into much detail in the first two days of my blog vacation because if I did it would take me all night and it would to long and no one would read it, Hell I am one of the only ones to completely read Chris' long ones.
The previous night I didn't get to sleep until 4 in the morning which sucked when I had to get up at 8 to be an my interview for Super Target at 9. I got there with 3 minutes to spare but ended up waiting for 20 minutes for someone to finally come out and get me. I sat down in his office and we started to talk, he asked me the usual questions along with some situational things.(I have become an expert at answering interview questions, I know all the key words that they wanna hear and situations they wanna hear about) so I aced it like I always do and we started talking about availability and I informed him that I was no longer available at anytime like it said on my application that I filled out when I was still jobless. but I told him I only work nights at the restaurant I got hired at which was perfect because he told me that he wanted to bring me on in the morning on his team to setup the store before it opens so I would be working like 4a.m.-10 or 11a.m. which I am fine with. He concluded the interview by telling me that I was pretty much hired but I still had to comeback for a second interview with the store manager. So after that great news I headed back home to take a nap so that I would be a least a little bit rested for the training I was scheduled to start at 4p.m. at the restaurant. When I got there I was surprised to find out that they were previewing a new menu and all the employees were there to taste and give there critiques as we all sat down at a couple tables in the dining room I was busy reading a small manual I was given while everyone got ready to taste. Everything that came out wasn't really my cup of tea so I didn't try anything(it's not like I have to try to sell the meal thats the servers job I just deliver) also after getting there I saw that over half of the staff is Jamaican now I am not a racist(I mean really I want a Half African-American as president) but I just can't understand them that well plus I was going to be learning from the one food runner that has been there for over two years his actually was pretty good, good enough to understand, but a server(Sherry) did most of the showing me around which was cool because she spoke fluent English and she is really nice. It hit around 5p.m. when I finally got my work shirt, I changed and got ready for service. Through out most of the night all I did was observe and tried to memorize everything like the table layout and the seat numbers which I had down by the end of the night. Now when I worked at Blue Water Bistro slow was like 75-100 reservations but on my first day at Rosie Spoonbills we only served like 15 people which I guess is a good night for someone to train on because when we weren't running I was learning. We reached a point in the night when I was so bored that the two servers asked me to help them roll silverware, it was fun and passed the time quickly at about 8p.m. I was approached by the hostess and was told I could go home because there were no more reservations in the books. After I got home I pretty much went right to sleep after posting a two sentence blog I posted as I fell asleep.

Thursday October 9, 2008
Today there wasn't much planned except another day of work. I didn't get up until I was woken up by my mom at around noon. I didn't do much except catch up on some podcasts as well as Countdown with Keith Olberman(one of my new favorite shows.) I noticed it was closing in on 4p.m.(the time I had to be at work) so I quickly got ready and headed out.(also earlier I got a call from target and i set up the second interview for Friday at 10) When I got to the restaurant I found out that staff eats everyday at 4 before service begins and today we were having fries and a french dip which is thinly sliced beef cooked in a delicious Au Jus sauce(Google it) after a light dinner we were all ready for work. Again it was a slow day yet a bit better than the day before. During the waiting periods I noticed that there was a new face behind the counter as a chef we sort of nodded to each other and then begin to talk he is a black guy so I automatically assumed he was Jamaican but I was relieved when I heard an American accent come out of his mouth. Finally I thought to my self someone to talk to so during the many slow moments we would just talk about different things like politics(who we talked to with another chef a white female which is very rare) but we also talked about where we were from(him Wisconsin, me Michigan) and about football and how Michigan beat Wisconsin the week before, then we started talking about poker and how he loves playing and sometimes plays at the dog track in Bonita. I also got to talk to the Executive who also is a really cool guy and someone I will be able to talk to when not actually working. My night ended at around 9 and I went home and caught up on internet routines. The next day was Eric's birthday and Jeremy and I planned to hang out at his house that night I also planned to hang out at Jeremy's until then. Shortly after I was getting ready to head to bed I got a call from Eric saying that I need to get Jeremy and get to Eric's, I was ok let me get a shower and I will be over there asap so I was at Jeremy's by 11 and we gathered the gear(Rock Band 2) and headed down to Eric's. The plan was to wake up at 9 so I could get down to Coconut in time for my interview and then back to Eric's before heading out to get his "Super T.V.". So we had to go to sleep after an hour or so of talking we all managed to shut up long enough to make it to sleep before it got too late. The final plans were that they were coming down to Coco. with me walk around until I was done than get Eric's "Super T.V." at Best Buy.

Friday October 10, 2008
We all managed to get up with enough time to get ready and down to Coco. We all made our way to Target me for an interview them to look at Blu Ray's I had to wait another 15 minutes before I got my interview started(I guess they don't do job offerings on Friday's and they couldn't get a hold of the manager to sit me doawn and do it) so it ended up me and this rather manly lady sitting at a Pizza Hut Express table to do my second interview. Again I aced it and she asked me to sit and wait while she tried to find the manager(the one that calls the shots) I waited about ten minutes when she came back unsuccessful so as we were trying to figure out what to do she said she would give him one last call and to my luck he answered so I sat back down and waited for him to show up. Once he did we headed to his office and talked a bit about what the job entails and I was asked for like the fourth time if I would be able to be productive at 4a.m. after working at the restaurant until 10p.m. and I answered with a confident "of course", he then told me he would "give me a whirl" so we went out so that I could fill out papers but the lady in charge of that was busy processing paychecks so we figured that they could process new employs on Fridays and we set up an appointment for Monday in between of me running my mom around to doctors. After finding out officially I was hired I went out to find Eric and Jeremy(they were at Barnes and Noble) I went to pick them up and head over to Best Buy so that Eric could buy his "Super T.V.". You may have been wondering why I keep mentioning this "Super T.V." well it has been hyped up for like two weeks all Eric has been talking about was this fucking T.V. even the night before he kept saying it's the "Eve of the Super T.V." and it's the "Dawn of the Super T.V." I tell you this because Eric after we got to Best Buy decided that he DIDN'T WANT TO BUY IT!! Jeremy and I couldn't believe that Eric was actually doing and saying this so after much convincing Jeremy and I tried to do Eric just wasn't going to buy it(SIGH) so we went Asian Chao for lunch(YUM) and then headed back to Eric's to play a little RB2 before he had to go to work and Jeremy and I went to Jeremy's. After a lot of RB and a few drum achievements Eric got ready for work and we got ready to head north. When we got to Jeremy's we started to talking with his mom about certain people who is being a big FUCKING JEW about his money(No not Eric LOL) and was being a complete FUCKING asshole(Jeremy's Father) after the conversation Jeremy and I started to watch the last few episodes of LOST. Jeremy got to see Libby and Ana Lucia get killed by Michael(Wow is everyone named Michael a Douche hahaha) also the four toed statue and the explosion of the Swan hatch for the first time. About a quarter of the way through the finale I passed out.

Saturday October 11, 2008
When we woke up we finished the finale and after a short conversation with his mom I left for home. I got home around noon and thought I would catch up on a lot of social networking and Digg stories, also podcasts and Countdown after all that it was time work once more. I got ready and left at a quarter til 5. When I got there I asked when I would start making tips and Jo Ann the manager said that she already put me on for tips she also told me that I was actually making $10 an hour(I smiled at that) and she also informed me that I was the only food runner for the night and it being a Saturday I was quite scared but after a little reassurance I was ok with it especially after hearing there were only about 35 reservations and there was a 22 top which accounts for most of the reservations, which means I would get all those out of the way at one time. As the night progressed I talked to the executive chef a little bit more and found out that he is a GAMER!! and likes all kinds of music(he was singing B.Y.O.B by S.O.D so I had to ask) awesome someone I can relate too. A lot of our conversation consisted of games specifically MMO's(he is a WOWer and I had to throw in FF11 in the convo. as well as L.O.T.R.O) after game talk we talked about bands we liked I mentioned Shinedown and he agreed I also mentioned Coheed ans Cambria which I got a reply of "I am going to check them out". Later in the night he asked if I was going to school to which my reply was "No I graduated this year" he congratulated me and asked where I had went and I told him Estero High and he said oh I thought you graduated college, he said that I seem older than I actually am. I asked what it was that made him think that and he said that it was my demeanor, I took it as a great compliment cause I always thought that I was very mature and intelligent for my age(at least people notice) so after a not so bad night all by my self at food runner I left at about ten to nine. When I got home I some routine and started this blog at 10:30 and it is now 2:42, yea I had a couple breaks in between but damn. I am also at 3175 words most definitely my record now that you are you caught up with my life I hope you enjoyed your self, I know I have so Good Night or Good Morning or Have a Nice Afternoon(I don't know when the Fuck people read this)
but I am a little tired and my hands and wrists are killing me and yet I keep typing for whatever reason. I shouldn't still be typing, maybe I am trying to up my word count. Although I love how I am trying to figure out what I am doing does this mean I am going crazy it is possible, I mean no where near Chris' level but I am getting there(no offense Chris). OK seriously I need to get off it is 2:48 and I am still typing................
