Are you a people person or a loner?
by Strawberryfieldsforever ini've heard that there are people who thrive on being with people.
they gain energy from it.
then there are the loners who gain energy from being alone.

Well, I'm in a strange category. I love people, but I find most people to be boring so I'm a loner. Does that make any sense?
I don't know.

I have decided to post my diary in one long continueous thread so here goes:
Tuesday, January 10, 2004
Nothing much happened today. In the morning I went to my Martial Arts class. We saw this cheesy video that was made in the eighties called "Karate Rock." It was some type of documentary that shows several Martial Arts tournaments. After class I went to work. No customers again today. Man this sucks! I mean it is great to have a job where I don't do much, but as April 15th nears I'm sure I will be swamped with customers. I spent most of my time playing Spider Solitare. Man, I have to get off this game. It is so addictive. After I start playing I have the biggest headache and my brain feels like mush. I suppose it is better to be addicted to this then to something like tobacco or alcohol. Still I must conquer this addiction. I left at four thiry and went to San Jacinto. I went to my Chemistry class. When I went to class I saw Sandy. I didn't talk to her. After she decided not to go out with me I haven't talked to her. I don't think there is anything there. I'll move on. Anyway, we got last week's test back. I got an 83. I was hoping for an A, but the class average was in the 60s so I guess I did OK. After class I went to the Blockbuster on Spencer across from the hospital. I found the movie "Groundhog Day." on DVD. I'm glad I found it, because I have to do a report on it for my film class. I then went home and saw [omited for personal reasons]. I then saw [omited for personal reasons] with Sylvia. I then went on my computer and posted on the ex-JW site. I have also decided to post my diary entries from each day on there. I then went on [omited for personal reasons]. My contract on there expires tomorrow. I just can't take that site anymore. I then saw part of "Groundhog Day." I didn't go to sleep until two in the morning.

In the morning I went to work. There were no customers today. I did get a few questions about taxes. There was this one couple that wanted me to do their taxes, but their daughter didn’t have a social security number. It turns out that the couple was immigrants from Senegal and they just came to this country last year. I told them that they needed to go to the nearest IRS building to get an IRS number for their daughter. That could be used instead of a social security number. I also told them how much of a refund they could expect back from the government. After looking their W-2 forms. With the exception of that, my day was rather boring. I spent most of my time at work studying for my History II test and playing Spider Solitaire on the computer. During lunch I went to Barnes and Noble on Westheimer (not one near the Galleria, but further ahead). I flipped through a few books. I was in the film and television section and flipped through an interesting book on British sitcoms. I then left and went back to The Money Stop. No customers came. I left at four thirty and went to San Jacinto and went to my History class. I studied for my History test. Later one of my classmates told me that the test has been postponed for two weeks. Apparently our teacher told this during the second hour of class last week. I had left after the first hour because I was tired. Strangely, the same thin happened today. I was very tired and left during our break. I think I haven’t had enough sleep lately. I came home and made myself two bologna and cheese sandwiches with Doritos. I noted that my sister had rented two movies. I watched part of “Under the Tuscan Sun.” At nine I watched “The Real World / Road Rules Challenge” and had a dessert of vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup. I then watched some more of my movie. At ten I went to bed and listened to “Coast to Coast” on the radio. I dozed off around ten thirty.

Hello everyone. I’m not sure if anyone remembers me, but I used to post her until January of 2003. The last time I wrote here I mentioned that I was leaving Las Vegas and movie back to Houston. Well I was very depressed and I promised myself that I would not write here again until I felt my life was better. I have to say that this past year has been good. While I was in Vegas I drove a cab for a while so when I came back I thought that I could get a job has a cab driver here in Houston. Well after a week of training and taking a test I got a job as a cab driver. Now let me say that there are many cities where you can make good money as a cab driver, but Houston is not one of them. Driving a cab in Houston sucks. I spent twice as much gas as I did in Vegas and made only a fraction of the money. In Vegas I would keep half of what I made and gave the other half to the cab company. In Houston you give the cab company a flat fee. The problem was that I would get so few customers that there would be very little money leftover. There were also several days where I didn’t even made enough money to cover the cab company’s fee and I had to pay out of my own pocket! Needless to say I quit after a month. I decided to swallow my pride and start working with my Dad again. It wasn’t that bad, but I wanted a regular job.
Around April I went to live with my best friend and former roommate, Eli. It was great being roommates again. In June I decided to go back to school. I started taking classes at San Jacinto College. My goal is to finish my basic courses in a year and a half and then transfer to the University of Houston and finish the rest of my career in a year and half. I want to get my Accounting degree in three years instead of four. It will be tough, but I know I can do it. In the summer I took College Algebra and English I. In the fall I took History I, Government I, Speech, and Finite Math. The Finite Math class was a killer. When classes started the class was full with thirty students. When we took our final exam there only six (that’s right, six) of us left. Surprisingly, I got a B in that class. During Christmas vacation I took a winter Mini Course that lasted three weeks. I took Government II. Right now I’m taking History II, Chemistry I, Accounting I, Martial Arts, and Motion Picture Arts. So far I’m doing OK. About a month ago I moved out of my roommate’s apartment, cause it wasn’t safe there anymore. However, I’m still helping him out with the rent and bills until his lease expires this month. There are no ill feelings and we are still good friends. I live with my parents. That sucks since I just turned 30, but they are good people. About two weeks ago I got a job with a company that prepares taxes. They sent me to this Western Union place where people send money, get money orders, cash their checks and such. I have my own desk where I help people who want their taxes done. This job is supposed to last only until the end of tax season, but I hope to get some good Accounting and tax experience here. I do that during the day and go to school at night. On the weekend I help my dad in his bakery. So far my life is good. I hope it get better and if it doesn’t hope to cope with whatever problems come my way.

Hello everyone! Well, I am going to start my cab training class on Monday and it will last four days. Hopefully, I'll hear about an accounting job soon. My goal right now is to get an accounting job, do that on weekdays, do well driving a cab, and do that on the weekends. In about three months I hope to move out of my parents house and into an apartment. Also at the end of next month I will go back to Vegas and bring back the rest of my stuff. Perhaps I'll put it in a storage place. Then I hope to get better clothes, meet new people, and get one of those mini satillite dishes in my apartment. Oh, and I hope to come to Apostofest in March.
