ground control to major tom

...I have felt really out of touch lately. I like the idea of San Luis Obispo, but it seems that that town is a place where people go just to leave it. You stay awhile, do your thing, and then leave. I think that's how I've been lately. Ready for the next step. I'm almost done with school, and then I will leave that part of my life. It's pretty exciting, but I'm upset about the relationships I've neglected. I don't know what I'm going to do after school, I hope it's something cool.
So, yeah. I'm pretty excited about my new house. I think we start moving in in a couple of weeks. It should be fun. I'm getting all the reps at my work to give me free stuff. I think that one of them might get me a thousand dollar faucet. I looked at the house and a thousand dollar faucet will probably not look so good on a fifty dollar sink.

Feed Your Face

I finally got the nerve today to call in to my favorite radio show. The show is called "Feed Your Face with Schindler." All it is, is Schindler talking about awesome restaurants in Southern California. I called and I first talked to the screener, I was asking about churrascarrias in the LA area, and he asked me if I would like to talk to Schindler about it. I was live with Schindler for like two minutes. It was pretty awesome. Now I feel like I am an authority on churrascarrias in the LA area. So, if anyone out there has any questions on them or needs a good recommendation, please, feel free to let me know... ;)

Chapters

I've been feeling really melancholy for a while now. I think it's just something I do naturally. I haven't been a good friend lately to too many people. There have been several of my best friends that I have had for a while that I have just neglected or forgotten about. I don't think I like that I have been doing this, but whenever I get up to finally call these friends that I have been neglecting, I start to think of how awkward it would be for me to just call out of the blue.
I have been seeing clear divisions in my life lately as well. Like, I will move on from something that I have been doing for a while and I will never return to it again. It feels like something in my head says, "OK, I will never go back to COC again." Or, "This is the last time in my life I will be in this place." I used to think that change was really gradual and subtle, but sometimes, it's very clear and defined. So many people in my life have meant so much to me for just a short period of time, and now, I won't even call them. To all of those, I am sorry.
Crazy.

Wicho

Today I hung out with my family. I had the day off, so I got to see my nephew, Ryan, who we lovingly call "Wicho". He is a really happy baby and it makes me happy that I think he likes me. I think Bryan is a really cool kid and I really wish that I could spend more time with him. He is really turning into a great guy.
I keep looking at job postings online, I like seeing what else is out there, maybe someone wants to pay me millions of dollars for doing cool stuff. I always have a number in my head of what it would take for me to quit my job and go work for someone else. The number gets bigger or smaller depending on my job satisfaction that particular day.
Any time someone is leaves my company, the human resources director sends out an email to everyone letting us know that they are no longer with the company. I find it a bit morbid that I enjoy these emails and I keep a file of all terminated employees on my computer.
I like Jessica a lot. I often find myself daydreaming of that girl. She's pretty cool.
I like the Dodgers a lot too. I think I've seen like 30 of their games this season. I've only been to two of their games so far this season, I hope to go to another one before I start the semester.
Jessica is coming home in like an hour and we have a date to go to the new Pinkberry in the mall... should be fun.

summertime

Last night, I had a sore throat, so I took too much Nyquil. Jessica made me an iced coffee around 10:00 and I still managed to fall asleep promptly at 10:05. It was pretty great because I slept in until 10:00.
This past week has been pretty stressful, one of the guys I work with was let go and I was assigned all of his open orders. He had four times as many open orders as I have and with many more problems. I still like my job though, it's pretty fun.
I am very excited to start school back up this fall, I will be going full time and I will enroll in a class called "motivation". I will enjoy this class. I once set out to write a book on laziness since I was such an expert on the subject, however, I only wrote a couple of sentences in my book before I got too lazy to write more.
Lately, I have been enjoying my 30-45 minute commute to work very much since I have been listening to "Adam Corolla in the Morning". I think that show is hysterical. I often times will look like your run-of-the-mill weirdo as I laugh all by myself in my truck. On my way back home from work, I usually listen to "Tom Lycus". Sometimes, Tom Lycus can get to be a little too much for me to handle since all he does sometimes is bash on relationships and marriage, so, I'll play a Bach cd or something. I am completely transfixed by Bach's "Toccata in Fugue", I keep on wanting to do a remix of that piece, particularly the second movement. It sounds like it could have been written for a techno song or something. On Saturday nights, they have a show on that same radio station and all they talk about are cool restaurants. I always want to call in and pretend I know where all the happenin' spots are.
