All of these are my personal emotions being displayed, in hopes that somebody will pick out bits and pieces of them to positively self-reflect on. Nothing more; take none of it at face value, and remember, the journal is used by myself to reflect on more than anything else. Also to note, is that all of the feelings portrayed is a work in progress in itself. In no way what I say in here holds true to what I might feel hours after writing it.

2006 kawasaki vulcan 500 =)

I want to express how extremely happy I am right now =)  Alas .....

I am very close to landing a full-time job (40 hours a week ... ~$1400/month ...  8 am to 5 pm) _in_ Fayetteville.  It's almost too good to be true, but maybe I am going to get the break of my life!  Not only will I have an extremely good reference with the part-time computer stuff I'll be doing (network administration, real-time business scale), I'll have experience with CAD, and that can get me a future job in any city at any time (the demand is high).  Yes, the company is in the business of land surveying.  They are expanding rapidly and desperately need more team members, as well as a computer tech guy.  My brother-in-law works there and through a series of events that have happened in this past week, I am coming very close to having the job.  A job with no worries of getting laid off ...

I'll be able to move out (which I indefinitely will do) of my parent's house again, and this time, know exactly what I'm doing, and how to do it.  I'll be able to live by myself if I want, even.  I'll relive the days that I miss so much now.  Control,  responsibility, and freedom.  Sure, I have freedom right now, but not on the scale that I feel like I did when I was out of the nest.  Oh, I hope to the heavens I land this job ...

I think that if I get lonely up there all by myself, I'll just start enticing people from Fort Smith to drive up here on the weekends, by, oh, let's say ...  plentiful sacks of marijuana? =)  Hell, I know they won't come visit me just because they miss me, lol =/

I still want to go to college, and this opportunity, if given, will strengthen the ability to do so.  I'll work for a year or so, and then go part-time w/ CAD and go to school, with help from my parents.  For anyone that doesn't know ...  landing a full-time computer job is difficult in this area for reasons I won't go into.  I would prefer that I wasn't slaving around computers all day, anyway.

For everyone that reads this ...  pray that I get this job =)  I've always wanted to move up to Fayetteville.  Fort Smith has nothing to offer me and the future in Arkansas lies in the Fay-area ... 

I have to keep on reminding myself that I'm only 18.  I'd still be a senior in high school if I hadn't dropped out.  If I land this job, how many other 18 year olds out there have been lucky enough to be given this route?

Hehe, I have a job nonetheless ...  I'm working part-time ($100 a week, no taxes) at Lytehouse Computer Solutions ;O  ...answering calls, fixing computers, on site help, etc.

I know that if I can push myself far enough, I can have anything in the world I want ....  well, besides love =(

I love my new car.  It's my first real car.  Many good memories have been with the Sentra, but alas, out with the old, in with the new.

Honda Accord 93' LX

Yummy.  It is a 4 door car w/ automatic windows and locking.  I forgot how nice all of these basic things are.  Perfect condition inside and out.

My favorite thing about the car is that it ain't no automatic transmission.  I only wish now that I had my sister's Civic that is a two door and w/ a sun roof ;(

I thought that midnight cruises were fun, but when you got yourself the ability to shift up and down, everything just becomes bliss.

I can't wait 'till I get a sound system in there ^_^

Believe it or not, I've become a better driver through having to drive a stick.  I still have a thirst for speed =P

she's so pretty ...  so free spirited and thought provoking ...  so inspiring in the ways i forgot a human could be ...  she made me remember a part of me that was lost through the years due to such rapid changes in my life ...  i forgot who i was, you could say?  i wish i knew what that meant.  she's so ... no i know perfection is only minute, that perfection is so fickle that it becomes a concept as quickly as it is is brought into reality ...  the circumstances are perfect.  my thoughts on the belief that things happen for a reason, are surely confirmed.  she's that imaginary girl that you always dream of one day meeting, but know deep down, that she's a fantasy and you have to settle for far less ...  it's too good to be true.

it's too good to be true.  this is what i'm afraid of.  perfection is minute and a subtle word or gesture destroys the reality of it and sends it back into a mere concept.  a fantasy is never allowed to come true, but is this not true?  is she not real?  i see her with my own two eyes, and surely enough ...  i see everything i've only been able to see deep inside my mind.  i've said many a time that a body has no value, but this is not true.  i never realized that a body is directly connected to one's mind in more ways than words describe.  she has the mind that only existed in a pure fantasty.  my two eyes are seeing the physical representation of who that person is.  the beauty of it all coming together in a blink of an eye is blinding.  blinding to my own eyes, to my own logic, to my own simple mind.  i'm so afraid to touch this representation of what could only be in a fairy tale because one's mind is so fickle.  she could very well be non existant in seconds from now.  my mind can not bare seeing a fantasy become real (with my own two eyes) and then simply vanishing.  but perhaps ...  just perhaps ...  it's better to have seen it, to felt it, to know it's possible that it really can be true, the representation of something so minute, so long lasting.

i can promise nothing.

This weekend ruled.

Friday?  Fun times spent remembering about how much fun the old days were as I was watching Mason play Final Fantasy VIII for a few hours straight.  Not to metion the fun the usual cooking of a quick lil dinner consisting of grilled cheese and whatever else I have for Dani to eat! 

Saturday?  Nice quiet day.  I worked the majority of the day at Double Clicks so the day went by fast ...  hung out with the usuals and layed around.

Sunday?  Hardcore.  We found out that ice really is addicting.  I bet we spread quite a few germs that night ;x   I shook on a pact not to say a single word about the night, but oops.  Fun times, guys, fun times.  I'm finished up the night by having a lil adventure going to Wal-Mart and getting cookie mix and cooking me and Jeff (Isbell) chocolate chip cookies!  Yummy!  The night ends with me cleaning dishes and doing a lot of apartment cleaning related bs.

I'm sorry that I'm so vague ;P  I hate writing about what I do on the weekend...  as if anyone really cares to know.

(Actually, I'm not sorry in the least bit ...  if you wanted to know how my weekend was, you'd already know!)

Now, go post comments that relate absolutely nothing to this entry.  Thank you for your time and please go away.
