Been playing a lot of the Star Trek Online beta lately. So far so good. A very different style of play while in space. Not like Star Wars Galaxies where you were in the cockpit. More of the 3rd person isometric view. A lot of different strategy to it as well which I really like. Can't just fly into a zone and fire away, you need to flank and use certain abilities at very precise times or you are fucked. Ground team play is like most other MMO games. The only problem I can see is how repetitive the game will be come. Seems to be Cryptic's Achilles heel. City of Heroes was great in the beginning, completely different and fun. After about 12 hours of playing you started to get bored of the same old missions and strategy. Champions Online was boring after about 10 hours as there was nothing else to do other than start a new character and play again. Thankfully with STO you can make a Klingon or some other race and see the universe from thier point of view but I think a lot of the gameplay will be pretty much the same. Still going to play it for a few months in hopes of something really good, it really has the potential to be great. Not taking out WoW great, but a good enough secondary MMO to play, at least until The Old Republic comes out.

Work is work. It's almost all I do. Hell I'm typing this at my second job. Mobis stinks, no raise, shitty new vacation/sick policies. Backing out of things they said they were going to do with the 401k plan when everyone got hired. Wish I could find something else, but nothing will pay the same or have benefits anywhere near what they offer, which makes me sad.

The sunglass shop is doing okay. The boss and I really aren't seeing eye to eye anymore though. I feel we need to expand our lines and update stuff more often, he insists on waiting all the brands out till a major season or until the brands offer a perk to order new stuff. It isn't working. We sold the hell out of Oakley last year (almost 250 pieces more than the year before) but all the fashion brands fell a lot in sales. With the store being in an area where there are nothing but blacks who only care about what fashion they are wearing that is pretty pathetic. Hopefully he'll see it my way pretty soon.

Personally I feel like shit. I've been battling some form of illness that won't really show it's ugly face. Been full of aches and sore throats with one hell of a swollen gland on the side of my neck for about a week, but no sniffles, coughs, sneezing or even a temperature. Very confusing. Maybe it's just an allergy to something. No idea.

On my social life side I'm tired of being jerked around. Tired of being made to feel like I'm not worth anything to anyone. I really didn't expect it from this person, but I guess I should have known better. She seems hell bent on keeping our "relationship" under wraps even though everyone, her parents included know what is going on. And almost all approve of the "relationship". Her excuses on why she won't make it official are absurd. Religion and money. I can kinda understand the religion part, as I'm not exactly a holy person, but money? As much as I hate my job, I make pretty good money, with great benefits. I guess it is because she has lived a rather frugal life for a good while and the fact that I can do or get almost anything I want at any time scares her. That's the only thing I can think of. After thinking about it last night the only thing I could think of is how much I feel like I'm wasting my time. Sadly I really care for this girl. I have for quite a long time. I don't know what I'm going to do. I gotta talk to her about it, but I know she won't respond well. Every time I have tried to talk to her she has deflected the question or gave a completely half assed answer. Getting kinda old. Whatever. I'll deal with all this when the time comes.

God I need a vacation.

I really don't understand things anymore. I've been kinda seeing this girl for almost 5 months. Nothing official, mostly due to her, she just keeps avoiding making it an actual relationship even though everyone and their sister knows about us. I'm just so confused by the whole hot and then cold ways she goes about things. Last time we saw each other it was great, very talkative, clingy (not in the bad way) and great to be around. Tonight we went to dinner and then to see The Imaginarium of Doctor ParnAssus. Dinner was okay, talked about whats been going on with our lives, the normal bullshit. Get in the car to go to the movies, and all the jibba jabba stopped. I put my arm around her while we were walking into the theater and she didn't even acknowledge it. Conversation before the movie started was just trivial and bland. When I dropped her off there wasn't even a hug or a peck on the cheek goodbye. I'm just getting tired of wasting my time. It has hit the point that I honestly believe that I either have to give up on dating or move and try it in a new scene. I can't take the bullshit anymore. I really really like this girl too. Years now I held a flame but just pushed it to the back of my head as she has been almost consistently been in relationships. Almost the same sense of humor as me, a few of the same interests, but different enough to keep it interesting. I just don't know anymore. I need to get away for awhile I think.

Well since I have the time to actually make a post I guess now is the time.

It has been a whirlwind of a few months. First my trip to Chicago in June really helped me see things so much better. I have let go of so much jayered and anger not only other people, but for myself. I finally feel like I can do just about anything and not worry about what may or may not happen. And it feels great. I'm finally happy with myself. Not completely happy with my life biut happy with myself, which is a first step that was much needed.

Now on to my current situation. I have known this girl since the second grade or about 19 years. Didn't really speak much through high school, but did occasionally from classes we had. We both have the same mutual friends which leads us to now. Since she came back from college we have been fairly close. Always talking and tend to migrate towards each other at parties and other events. I have kept my distance as she has almost always been in a relationship. Even then there would be minor flirting that would happen between both of us. I didn't really read much into it until earlier this year. Even though I have had a crush or now a absurdly strong attraction to her, I brushed the flirting and signals off as nothing. Then about 4 months ago she started sending them a bit harder, though I don't think she even knew she was doing it. She was in a 3 year relationship at the time that was barely existant, so I believe she was doing it for the attention she wasn't getting from her boyfriend(whom I really like and think he is quite the nice fellow). Then they break up at the end of July.

I have always been one of the people she has turned to, and this was no different. But instead of a shoulder to cry on it turned into seeing each other a lot, with in turn a lot more flirting on both sides. About two weeks ago we were at a bar waiting on some other friends and she brought up how people are saying that she and I should hook up. I ignore what she said and our friends arrive shortly thereafter. On the ride home, I can't hold in my feelings and I basically tell her that I have really liked her for quite some time and I'm completely open to the idea. She in a state if shock after seeing me open up like that, starts giving me quite the bs reasons as to why we wouldn't work. I can tell though she is pulling anything she can out of the sky to try to diffuse the conversation. Few days later it comes up again, and again she tries to play it off. Then last Saturday happened.

We went to a lovely event that featured crabs(edible ones, not your crotch pets), corn, burgers, cheap beer and a dunk tank. It was a great day, a lot of fun. Even with 2.5" of rain falling from the sky in a matter of an hour and a half. Turns to night crabs, corn and dunk tank is gone but the cheap booze persists. Gets to the end of the night, and neither of us are able to drive. We are talking while on the way to a boat to sleep it off and we come up. Again she is giving me reasons as to why we won't work, and I'm countering them with reasons why hers are silly. I go to finish one up with saying that it is her choice in the long run and I will support whatever she chooses, even though one will make me rather unhappy. Before I can gee half of it out she kisses me. I was kinda flabbergasted. We stand there for awhile still making out then proceed to her vehicle where we seal the deal so to speak. Out of all the people I have kissed and well fucked I have ne'er had a feeling like this. It just felt like it fit. Like it was right. We go back to the boat and go to sleep. Next mor ing featured a very quiet breakfast as I had no idea what to say.

She came over to my place last night to watch True Blood as she missed the last two episodes. We start to watch and we are cuddling the entire time. She was completely sunken into me. Again it just felt right. I walk her out after the episodes are done. Again we start talking before we can say goodbye. Talking turns to light kissing. Still feels right and she agrees bit then follows up with it is a bad idea. I ask why and she really can't give me a good answer. We start kissing again then she proceeds to run to her car while saying that she likes it but is a bad idea then speeds off.

I have never been this confused before. I really like her, and by the way she kisses and looks/talks to me I can tell she really likes me. I honestly believe in my heart it will work. We are alike enough and different enough that we will be so good for each other. We have nearly the same humor level too, which is a huge plus for me. She is the only one saying it won't work. Everyone that knows the both if us that i've talked to said we will make a great couple. From what I have heard her family feels the same way. I just don't know what I have to do. I'm being as open and caring as I can. I can tell she wants it, but he can't seem to give me a solid reason that makes me say fine and back away. What's worse is she is completely stuck in my head. I dream about her(and she has said she has dreamed about me) and she is in my thoughts almost all day. I don't know how much longer I can take this.

I really don't know what to do. I've asked a few people what they think and most say the same things that I have been doing. Should I walk away and give her time or move in a bit harder. Be mire sensative or just be uncaring. Anyone have any ideas? Cause I'm out of them. This really isn't whY I wanted on my mind while I'm on vacation trying to relax. I'll take any ideas, I just feel so lost.

Jul. 22nd, 2009 @ 07:49 pm current things.
I can honestly say I feel better about myself and my situations now than I have in years. I still have my down days, like the last few were not so good. Those sucked mainly due to people in my life making me feel like less of a person than I really am. Which makes me think about why I surround myself with people that are so toxic to me. Why does my "picker" suck so badly. Even with people I think I am cool with, things just aren't good. It isn't due to me not trying to make the relationships better. It comes down to things that drive me crazy and I personally find quite insulting(yes I can be insulted). One example is when people are out together, no matter how many, there is always that one jerkoff who is constantly looking at their phone. Every time you look at them, they are texting someone else or checking facebook/twitter. It is a simple choice, either hang with the people you are out with, or go find the person you are texting and be with them. Especially when someone is actually talking to you and you can't be bothered to look up from the phone and acknowledge that you are being spoken to. That makes me want to grab the phone and drop it in a pothole filled with liquid shit. That makes me feel like I'm not worth a damn to you. It is one thing to get a text and answer it, but if you take that to having a whole drawn out conversation while out with people, that is where I draw the line. When I go out with people I turn the phone to vibrate and wait till I'm done with the evening or on my way to the bathroom or the bar to get more drinks before I answer anything. I think I should start being a dick about this too. If I'm out with folks and I see this, I'll call them out on it the first time. The second time just ask them to leave. And if I drove the person there, have them find their own way home. I have mentioned to a few people about how much this pisses me off, most have agreed with me and stopped, one hasn't. Well this turned into a rant that i didn't want to be a rant.

Anyway, nothing much gets to me that used to. My job at Mobis is well a job. I go there do my work and go home. I don't let the savages get to me anymore, and the work is enough to make me tired at the end of the day. Sure some days are annoying but what ones aren't. I've been more pleasant to most of the people there. Some are still trying to figure out if I'm trying to play some form of angle to get over on them. I've really started to work hard in improving a lot of the relationships that I have ruined over the last few years. Some are going ok, others the people aren't very sure as to what to make of me suddenly being open with them. I can't say I blame them either, I have never been a very open and responsive person. It is what I feel I must do to make my life go better. I can't be the introverted, crabby asshole I have been for the last 10 years. I just hope that these people see that I do want to make a change in our relationships and work with me. Ah I have rambled for too long already.

You are always alert and keenly observant. You are not truly satisfied with your everyday status and you are seeking fresh avenues which can give you the opportunity to prove your worth. You feel that there are still many barriers that stand between you and recognition - but one by one you will overcome them. Your tenacity is your one good point - like an English Bulldog, once you take the bite, you will seldom let go.

You don't feel as if you can go it on your own anymore. You don't want to be taken for granted. You need to be recognised as a 'caring person' and it could be that you are searching to establish a relationship, not necessarily with someone new, but with that someone special who could feel the same way as you do.

You feel tired - worn out and listless. The last thing that you want to do is to be in an open conflict with those around you that are forever tormenting you. What to do? That's the rub. You are feeling that you are being choked - unable to breathe.

You feel that you must have co-operation from those close to you before the existing stressful situation can be improved. You feel that no-one understands you and this lack of understanding and appreciation makes you feel completely isolated. You need that feeling of security and would like to get away from what you now consider depressing shackles. You have that need to re-establish your own individuality but your sensual self-restraint makes it difficult for you to let go - to open up, but the way that you are feeling at this time makes you feel that 'Enough is enough' and you are prepared to give in. This disturbs you as you feel that this attitude is an obvious sign of weakness - an attitude to be overcome and so in spite of this situation you feel that in order to assert your own individuality you need to continue to practice self-restraint.

You feel that you need to move on. You feel that you are not appreciated or valued for what you are and that the time is 'now'. Failure to do so will not afford you the conditions to prove your worth.

You have always longed for tenderness, love and a sensitivity of feeling into which you would like to blend. You are a very gentle warm person and responsive to 'All things bright and beautiful'. This personifies a caring person, a person who 'needs' and indeed 'needs to be needed'.

You don't really give in. You follow your beliefs and ideals to the bitter end. You are the personification of stubbornness and whatever may transpire, right or wrong, you refuse to compromise or make concessions.

At times all of us would like to be like the ostrich - to be able to bury our heads in the sand and let the rest of the world go by, but unfortunately you can't do just that - you have to face up to reality. A little peace and quiet would be most acceptable at this time but if only one could turn a blind eye to the problems of the day! Tomorrow is another day and who knows, it could be 'today' (not tomorrow) that could be the first day of the rest of your life!

You are pretending that the situation around you doesn't matter, but the effort of trying to conceal your emotions and anxieties is resulting in untold stress. The existing situation is disagreeable. You feel unwanted and lonely and you would really like to associate with someone whose ideals are as high as your own. You want to be above the standard of mediocrity and this need to be needed and that need to need has almost become an obsession. You are trying to magnify the need into a compelling urge. You would really like to tell the world how great you are but no, you are holding back because you feel that your peers may treat you with contempt. This is a great pity because you have in fact a unique quality of character, but the continual restraint that you impose on yourself makes you suppress this need for others and you pretend you don't really care. You treat those who criticise you with contempt. However, to be honest, beneath this assumption of indifference you really long for the approval and esteem of others.

You would like to be respected and valued for yourself and this can only be achieved from within a close and harmonious relationship.


******************************************************************************************

These things really are spot on. The third and fourth paragraphs really hit it. Peace and quiet would be absolutely fantastic. That isn't going to happen though. Not any time soon at least.

As for the problems, the car is the least of my problems, but it is the one I need to focus on. Is it stressful, yes. It'll be over soon though, well hopefully. It again comes down to relationships. I have one extremely strained relationship left. And for some reason, I can't just walk away from it. Not that I want to walk, but I really feel it is the only course of action left for me. Although after today's occurance, I guess it shouldn't be that hard since everything I say gets looked at so much deeper than it should be. Then arguements or disagreement starts. I just can't stand feeling like I'm at fault when I know I'm not. Sorry that if I pick up my phone to look at a text, and one of the new Korean bosses I have witnesses me do it, they can fire me on the spot. I'm just tired of feeling like i'm the bad guy, when I'm not.

I really feel that spite everything I have gone through with this person, they still don't have a clue about who I really am. I figure that if a person knows me, they would understand that if I'm trying to be mean to you, I do it in a very blunt fashion. I don't believe in masking my meaning behind words that don't scream anger. If I am going to attack you verbally (or via text) I get right to the point, with an insane amount of vulgarity. I go right for the throat, which is part of my time doing open mic comedy. If you attack a heckler, be direct and as mean as you can without crossing the lines that get you arrested.

Then again, most people never see me truly angry, which is a good thing I think. I want to talk to this person, hang out with them, but they can't make the time of day to do it. I'm willing to get less sleep to have a good time with my friends, but if you make it seem the only way you talk to me is because no one else is around for you to talk to, take your friendship and shove it right in your ass. I don't need that shit, and I don't want it. I need people in my life that actually give a fuck about me, not pretend to be my friend because I'm a good distraction. If that is all I mean to a person, get the fuck out of my life, I don't need you in it.

Christ, why do I rant every time I post. Also, if you take offense to what I have posted here, go fuck yourself. I'm saying the shit on my mind to relieve some of my tension and stress, and if you can't take what I have said, stop reading my journal or grow some thicker skin.

I really don't know how to put it but one of my relationships feels like it was ripped from Talladega Nights. The whole, person calls or texts, and you start off with a why are you contacting me, next thing you know it is a general conversation like nothing has ever happened, then it turns into an agreement to hang out, to be finished with the "wait no, i can't stand you, stop bothering me".

I want to just walk away and remove the person from my life but I just can't. For some reason, my mind won't let me. Just so confused by the whole situation. All well.

It would appear that at this particular time of your life you are going through a tough time. You are feeling (or have recently felt) miserable and depressed and perhaps you are still feeling that way. Maybe all the trials and tribulations just aren't worth it. Your present anxieties could have been associated with either your 'private' or 'business' life - whatever ... what you really need at this time is to get away from it all, maybe a vacation - alone, or better still, perhaps with someone that you know really cares for you, someone who appreciates you - not for what you have but for who you are. A short vacation may be all you need to afford you the time to recover and to get back to your normal vital self.

You don't really give in. You follow your beliefs and ideals to the bitter end. You are the personification of stubbornness and whatever may transpire, right or wrong, you refuse to compromise or make concessions.

Everyone, sooner or later gets that feeling that one has been cut off from reality, cut off from everything that's going on around them. It usually happens when there is a complete lack of understanding and co-operation - be it from friends, family or loved ones. So what can one do about it? Instead of pondering as to what the future may hold, do something different. Make a cup of coffee. Have a shower. Read a book. Watch your favourite soap opera. Because as soon as you become involved in something different, the original disassociated feelings will dissipate.

You are frustrated and stressed. You appreciate the finer things in life but at all times you appear to stay aloof, critical of everything and everyone about you. You will not be carried away by your emotions and you refuse to trust anyone or any situation unless genuineness and integrity can be absolutely vouched for. Therefore, you keep a strict and watchful control on your feelings as you must know exactly where you stand at all times. You demand complete sincerity as a protection against your own tendency to be too trusting.

Matters are not all that they would appear to be and you are critical of the existing conditions which you feel are confused and disorganised. You are therefore looking for a modus operendi which will simplify the situation so that you will be able to see the 'trees in the woods'.

******************************************************************************************

I do need a vacation. More than anything I need one. Sadly it just isn't going to happen anytime soon. Not enough cash to go on one with everything else kinda falling apart. Even if I did, it would be a pretty lonely. I don't see a single person in my life that "really cares for me". Everyone in my life has treated me like garbage on more than one occasion in the past month or so. Spite that, I don't even know where I would go. I think I should just start with a weekend of no work. That would help more than a bit I think. 7 days a week for 3 months straight really takes it out of you.

I've tried doing different things, and all it has done is isolate me more, which in turn makes me feel like a larger lump of garbage. And even if the thoughts and feelings that have been dragging me down dissipate, within a very short time they are back bothering me more than before. This is one reasons why I feel I need to leave. I'm surrounded by a constant flow of negative reminders. Perhaps the things i'm doing differently aren't enough to make the feelings really go away, which makes me think I do need to move. I really don't know anymore.

As for my lack of trust, I see it as being completely rational. Every time I get close to someone they shit on me after a short while. I find it very hard to trust someone, when every time before it, people are never able to trust me enough to open up to me. People will tell me the problems they have with everything else, but if it comes to the relationship with me, nothing is said. Then everything crumbles. Which makes me trust people even less. I don't have the patience for that in me anymore. I wish I could actually meet a person that I can trust unconditionally. I'm not holding my breath for that.

I'm hopeful that things will change soon. Feeling up about my vehicle situation. I really like the '09 370Z Touring. Comfy, fast, and unique looking. It'll cost about the same as what i'm paying for so it isn't too bad. The sunglass store is doing well, up about 8% now for the year. April was a little soft, but we did well. New section for Oakley only is really bringing in a lot of foot traffic, so I think the summer will do very well. All I really want is a summer that isn't ruined by me being in a depression. At least I won't be forced to working 15 hour days at the warehouse due to moving it. Ah, enough of this jibba jabba. I should be asleep by now.

I've been sitting here bored out of my mind and doing a lot of thinking. The last few days I've been hanging with friends and out of all of them only one has been honest with me. She has been the only person who she what she thinks and I love her for it. Basically verbally bitch slapped me until I really started to see things correctly and not like a whiney dumbass who is only good at feeling sorry for myself.

I realize now how many unhealthy relationships I have in my life. Two in particular are dragging me down so far and making my life more difficult I'm so stupid for keeping them. Should have cut them off 6 months ago. People who insist they are my friend and that they care but all they do is break commitments with me, lie to me, and in general make me feel like I'm not worth a damn. I'm done with that shit. You treat me like crap you are out of my life. You break commitments or lie to me, gone. Hell I have had people lie to my friends about me, thinking my friends are going to believe the crap they are spewing. I have no space emotionally for this shit. And I won't deal with it anymore.

Hey I feel kinda better after this. Back to sweating my ass off watching awful TV pograms.

At this particular time you are perhaps setting yourself too high a target and so you are living in the land of 'make believe'. It would also seem that you have been bitterly disappointed in the past and you are at a stage where you feel that you can trust nobody. You would like to forget it all and turn your back on the past and start anew.

You enjoy taking part in anything that may constitute fun and excitement. You need to be stimulated and need to feel that 'Life is worth living' and you are awaiting that stimulation and you don't particularly care where it comes from!

You know what you want and you are very dogmatic and demanding - especially in your emotional demands. You have specific ideas and beliefs and if these beliefs are not realised you can become extremely frustrated. You may not be that perfect but you are looking for perfection with the perfect partner.

Your willpower and stamina are in danger of being overwhelmed by excessive stress. Your resilience and tenacity have become weakened. You are feeling overtaxed, worn out and getting nowhere: but you continue to stand your ground. You feel that this unfavourable situation is an encumbrance which you could well do without and you find yourself unable to make the necessary decisions at this particular moment in time to change anything.

The tensions and stresses that you are experiencing at this time are, you feel, beyond your capabilities or your reserves of strength to cope with. You feel inadequate and in a constant state of anxiety.You are attempting to escape from this situation into a secure environment in which you may be permitted to relax and recover, free from outside interference.



These things really do terrify me on how accurate they are. Especially this one.

It would appear that you are experiencing one problem after another. When one problem is resolved, another seems to immediately take its place. It could well be that you are trying too desperately to evade or to escape from your present situation and it is 'you' that is causing the problems to manifest themselves. You need to slow down a little.

Being impulsive and irritable, your desires and needs are paramount. You do things with insufficient thought - with little regard to the consequences that may follow. As a consequence of this attitude, you may be experiencing stress and conflict.

You feel that you deserve far more than is being attributed to you, but there is no-one to whom you can turn to for sympathy and understanding. Your pent-up emotions and inherent egocentricity make you quick to take offence, but as matters stand you realise that you will have to make the best of things as they are.

You feel that you must have co-operation from those close to you before the existing stressful situation can be improved. You feel that no-one understands you and this lack of understanding and appreciation makes you feel completely isolated. You need that feeling of security and would like to get away from what you now consider depressing shackles. You have that need to re-establish your own individuality but your sensual self-restraint makes it difficult for you to let go - to open up, but the way that you are feeling at this time makes you feel that 'Enough is enough' and you are prepared to give in. This disturbs you as you feel that this attitude is an obvious sign of weakness - an attitude to be overcome and so in spite of this situation you feel that in order to assert your own individuality you need to continue to practice self-restraint.

You feel that you need to move on. You feel that you are not appreciated or valued for what you are and that the time is 'now'. Failure to do so will not afford you the conditions to prove your worth.

*******************************************************************************************

Once again it is almost spot on. Problems do keep coming. One larger and more depressing or annoying as the next. Granted some of these problems are more than likely completely my fault. The majority of them isn't. I can't be responsible for the shit at work, which is a good chunk of my stress. Between a pay cut that has really hurt me, to now having to figure out a car situation within a week and a half it has me really stressed. All that stress combined with how alone I feel is making me a very sad panda.

I've been trying to work on my relationships. Most have not changed. Others that I have worked on have just made me feel worse and how much of a jerkoff I really am, or how much of a complete failure I am considering how much I have in common with a person and still having the relationship fall apart. Spite all that, trying to get people to hang out is like trying to force a tiger to eat bananas. Everyone whom I used to hang with has fallen off on a lot of things that were said "lets do this" and when the time comes, they are nowhere to be found or they made the same plans with someone else after they were made with me and then wonder why I'm feeling down when I ask about what we were supposed to do.

I'm just so tired of the constant rejection. After what happened on the 15th I have no self confidence anymore. I went in feeling ok about myself, but walked out feeling so worthless that I really would have driven off a cliff if Jersey had any. The appointment with a shrink on Monday didn't help either. Asshole just sat there for an hour, barely asked me anything, then proceeded to hand me prescription for an anti-depressant at the end of the appointment. I went in completely open and said a lot of things to him that I have never said to anyone. I will never fill that script either. I don't believe in taking meds to make you feel better about yourself. Will they help, probably, but I just can't do it. I guess it also shows how quickly people toss around prescription pills these days too.

I guess I should just get used to being completely unhappy and alone. It seems to be all that is going to come my way for the forseeable future. Blah.

I'm really getting frightened by this whole colorgenics thing. How the fuck does clicking little colored boxes until they are all gone come up with something that is so damn true. Again, it hit my feelings right on the head.

You are seeking an affectionate relationship, offering fulfilment and happiness. You are capable of powerful emotional enthusiasm. Deep down, you are a kind loving person, always helpful and willing to adapt yourself if necessary to realise the bond of affection that you desire. But you need the same consideration and understanding from others and it is this need that will sometimes hold you back... so let go, trust and you may pleasantly surprised at what happens.

You are a fighter and always on the defensive. You always need to be sure that your position is safe and established. When you finally make a decision you will pursue it to the bitter end in spite of all opposition.

Circumstances are holding you back, forcing you to back off and to forgo all the pleasures, fun and games for the time being. But this is only a temporary situation and before you even know it the situation could change.

Whatever has caused the situation, you just don't seem to be able to sustain or maintain relationships as you would wish to. What you really seek is to be able to develop a relationship with someone with whom you can truly share: Love, Serenity, Peace and Quiet. But you are a very demanding person and it is your nature that leads to disquiet and discord: you are like the tide, flotsam and jetsam... One minute you experience 'highs' and a few moments later 'lows'. This obviously will introduce discord into any relationship and with this demanding attitude - the ideal state you desire is unable to develop. Despite the urge to gratify your natural desires, you impose a considerable self-restraint on your instincts in the belief that this demonstrates your superiority and raises you above the common herd. You are extremely critical of everything that is presently going on around you and you find it difficult to listen to or to take advice from anyone. You enjoy the original, the ingenious and the subtle.

You would like to be respected and valued for yourself and this can only be achieved from within a close and harmonious relationship.

Got me a Razer Mamba as my Logitech G7 finally bit the dust after 3 years. Died in the middle of trying to do a WoW daily quest. So far I like the Mamba a lot. Really comfy and super sensative. And I honestly think they put more money into the packaging than the mouse itself.

God I feel terrible right now. The intense feeling of being completely alone is killing me. I figure that i would be used to it by now On the other hand I have just decided to deal with whatever comes my way on Monday. If I get fired, so be it. If not wonderful. If I do get fired I have decided I'm leaving NJ. Even if I don't get fired I think within the year I'm leaving. I just don't feel that there is anything here for me anymore. I just need a change. New place, new job, new life. Until the I'm just gonna take it a day at a time. I'm not going to plan anything anymore. It all just ends up in disappointment. I do feel better than I did yesterday. I just hope I can get out of this funk. I enjoyed feeling good about myself earlier this week. It was refreshing. Something I desperately need more of. Oh time to eat.

It is quite amazing about how quickly things turn in my life. I was finally feeling at ease, and good about myself and my ability to handle any situation that may bring me down, until today. 3 pretty damn good days then what could be described as an atom bomb day.

Over the weekend I attended a seminar (http://www.pathwaysseminars.com) that is designed to give you the tools to handle relationships better. Be it with yourself or others. I went at the request of my ex-girlfriend and her mother. I was completely skeptical but I thought that my shit couldn't get any worse. The first day, I really didn't see anything but I stuck with it. By the end of the Friday night session, I really felt a sense of calm about myself. By the end of the weekend I was feeling really good. I thought like I could handle the problems that come around with relationships, along with wanting to do things that are well outside my comfort zone. I do recommend this seminar to people. It has helped me tremendously. Granted I'm not on the same cloud I was on the rest of the week, but I do feel I'll bounce back a lot quicker and feel better in the long run.

So then here comes today. For once, I was looking forward to something. Like really fucking excited. Almost like dogs get excited when you are about to give them a treat. I was supposed to go out Friday night with a friend and just have a good time. It was the first time in a long while I was actually looking forward to something, or was going to do something that could be enjoyable and actually lift my spirits. As of today that isn't happening. Now I'm not mad. Sure things come along where you can't do something, and at least it was a days notice this time, not 2 hours before and saying "Oh I can't do this, sorry". What has me is that is all that happens to me. For the last month, every time I was supposed to go out with people it doesn't happen. Three weeks ago it was going out with people from high school I have been friends with, they all dropped out 3 hours before it was supposed to occur. Two weeks ago for the Mudvayne concert, two people drop out the day before, one drops out the day of. Yesterday, supposed to go out and have a drink with a friend, dropped out when I got halfway to the bar. And now tomorrow. I'm just having a very hard time handling all this rejection. I have emotional walls like nuclear blast doors, but they are breaking apart so fast it hurts. I am a complete wreck over all this, and I really don't know how much more I can take. After each of these instances I keep beating the shit out of myself saying it is my fault that they don't want to hang out. I keep thinking to myself that they all want to avoid me and not have me around. I am at a point where I really do need my friends to be there, but as always no one is around for me when I really need it. I'm falling apart at the seams and I don't have anyone to support me locally. I don't know how much more I can take before I completely break. The last 8 months have been so difficult I just can't handle it emotionally or mentally anymore. I want to go out and try to be with people but things like this happen and it just drives me back into being more introverted. I really can't take feeling so alone anymore, it is driving me to places I don't want to be. I'm typing all this out as a release, and after getting all this out I am feeling a bit better, but not by much. All well, I'll be better eventually, or I'll wind up with a JFK haircut and a brain that resembles puddin'.

Then to make my day even more shitty, after talking to my boss about issues with how the orders that needed to be picked were set up, he blurted out " . . . well after Monday it won't matter anymore." which was followed by the largest "oh shit did I just say that" look on his face. I've known for awhile that my job was hanging on by a thread. Company has fired all the temporary employees back on Jan. 15, and cut every budget by 33%. Firings were all that was left. And the really shitty part is since it is a new company, I don't qualify for unemployment. This is what really has me down. I can deal with the rejection, but the knowing that I lose my job, car, medical scares the living shit out of me. Especially the car. Jobs are to be had if you push hard enough, but since Koreans don't believe in severence packages and I don't have any vacation or sick time to pay out (since they took it all away) I have no money even to buy a POS vehicle. On top of having to pay almost $7,000 in income tax after all my investments I made money off of and the ole' Hyundai job. I really don't know what to do. I feel so helpless, and that is the worst feeling in the world for me. I can deal with depression, but the fact that I really can't do much of anything to help my situation drives me into such a level of unhappy, I really don't know if I can dig myself out. I really don't have much more to say other than I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens on Monday. I just hope I can make myself learn to deal with it by then.

God I hope this is as far down as I go...

So when I got home last night, I had a rather angry IM from one of the people I have almost completely removed from my life. He bitches and moaned about how he has done nothing. And I agreed with him. He has done nothing to prove he is my friend or even deserves me wasting my time trying to be his friend. When I told him that I'm not going to talk to him about the issues over the AIM but in person only he got really pissed.

As much as I love technology, it is ruining how people communicate. No one ever does anything face to face anymore. I'm sorry but I do t see how peope can resolve things via t ext message or IM or email. Even over the phone it really can't be done. To really see what a person is really saying you need to be face to face so you can read body language.

This basically goes out to everyone I have 'purged' lately. I am more than willing to talk these problems out. But it will be in person only. If you can't make the time to meet with me then it just proves to me that you really don't care about our friendship. I also don't want to hear about how busy you are. Two of you are unemployed, one is on workers disability and the other works 3 days a week. So there are no excuses as to why any of you can't meet with me. I work almost 75 hours a week total now and I will make the time to see you if you wanna talk these problems out. So I don't want to hear shit about you don't have the time or are too busy. And if you can't seem to make the time in your oh so busy lives, go fuck yourself and stay out of my life.

Yeah I think that is about it.

*EDIT* While working I was thinking about some more I could say about this. I am not happy about me making this kind of choice. Some of you have been complete failures when it comes to being a friend. I really don't want this to happen with some of you. If you put me into a position that it is going to take me years to dig out of, lie to me, or bail on me when I need someone the most, it is over. I am not going to take people wasting my time, money or making me feel insignificant or stupid anymore. I really don't want to end these relationships but I feel I have to.

You are in need of rest, some peace and quiet. You feel the need to be close to that someone special, that someone who can give you that special consideration and unquestioning affection that you seek. If you don't find that 'special someone' and resolve your problems very soon, you are liable to become extremely introverted and cut yourself off from society.

Your confidence has been shattered. There are so many things that you would like to do with your life, so many dreams to be fulfilled - and you know that your hopes and dreams are not just figments of your imagination, they are real and you are looking for reassurance from someone. Basically your fears are such that you may be prevented in attaining your hopes and dreams. Even now you would like to broaden your fields of endeavour but in order to develop your 'inner- self' you need peace and solace. You are distressed by the fear that you may be prevented from attaining your goals. What you really need at this particular moment in time is quiet reassurance from someone close to you to restore your confidence.

As of late, you have been experiencing untold stress and this is a result of continuous frustration. You haven't been taking care of all your physical needs and it's beginning to show. It would seem that you have a need to find someone to whom you can really relate - someone perhaps whose standards are as high as your own. You want to be different - to be individualistic - to stand out from the common herd. Your inherent control of your sensual instincts is restricting your ability to give yourself to open up freely but this being on your own, being lonely, often makes you feel the need to give up some of your strict standards to surrender to the general flow - to be like everyone else; a part of the herd. Deep down you regard such instincts as weaknesses to be overcome. You would like to be loved or admired for yourself alone. You demand recognition and tender loving care.

You are afraid that you may not be able to realise or achieve your hopes and desires and so you insist that people should accept you as you are and appreciate your rights to anything that you aspire to.



This guy scares the shit out of me.
