My name is Sam, and I have an addiction...

I have an addiction... I love to design. Websites like Spreadshirt.com take up literally hours of my time, because I cant help but signing on and trying to create a fun new product. It sounds weird, but I have always done this. Video games like the Sims, where you simulate life by creating a family and household... and Even in school when we had to design a poster. Mine always had to be the best.

But its becoming a problem. You see, I've found a new website where I can design to my hearts content... 24hourbracelets.com.

Thats right folks, I am so addicted I've taken to creating little rubber bracelets... And yes, I intend to purchase my creations.

What is wrong with me? What in my mind says 'making rubber bracelets online is fun!'... I can see making the bracelets in real life... But I actually think its cool to pick a color and text for a bracelet - Then I close the window, and my design is gone forever (or until I sign on again.) Anyway, I just wanted to admit that... And please dont bring it up if you see me on the street.


I work today, blech! I took yesterday off as a personal holiday, but I've been doing that so much that working an actual 5 day week intimidates me. I just hate my job... So negative, ghetto, and there's so much drama. It is literally like paid high school. People talk behind each others backs, theres little crushes, and someone is ALWAYS pregnant. And the screaming customers are like a whiny little sibling, or an angry and strict parent. Its ridiculous. AND it doesnt help that I'm at a breaking point. I HATE when people blame... "Why was my claim denied?! You denied my claim!! I want my money, your bank is so dumb!" and I have to calmly state, with a little edge to my voice "I realize you are angry, but I did not deny your claim, an investigator denied your claim. You need to call THEM."

Enough about work.

Its so cold today! I hate leaving the house.... And standing at a subzero bus-stop. My iPod helps...

I actually type in my Myspace blog every so often, so I should just do that here and tell everyone to visit this instead. Everyone consisting of like 5 people. 2 of which I live with. :(

How Time Flies..

It has been forever since I posted a blog. I won't make excuses, I forgot about this thing. And, the sheer fast-pace of life doesn't help much. .....And I have been on Youtube a lot. .....Okay, So I guess I am making excuses - But I'm here now, and isn't that splendid?

I have been reading my friend Amy's blogs and she is such a beautiful writer. So composed, and her words flow so utterly perfect that if she were writing a book it would be so easy to go from cover-to-cover. Jay is the same way... He can tie words together like no one else. I am jealous of them, but proud of the. I used to be so good with words, but eventually I became so disheveled in my head and now I rely on humor to get me through a conversation/speech/blog. Everyone is different I guess, but I just wanted to mention them - Because they are awesome.

Today I had the corporate 'Keys to Success' training class. 4 hours and 45 minutes of learning, well, the keys to success! They were like 'Attitude, integrity, positivity... and SUCCESS.' Thats right folks - One of the keys to success is Success itself. hmm. who thought of that? I think its weird. There was also a coporate role-play where we got to pick roles and act out ways to handle the situation. In my role I was Steve Larkin, a small sombrero business owner who was struggling financially. I didnt know any of my specific account information so I took to arguing with my helper. It was great.

I'm going to go eat my ramen... this post isn't exciting, but its something.

night :)

Can anyone hear me?

Some people are so obsessed with getting their view across. Some people stop at nothing, with the mindset to be the best. Ugh, in the end - Who cares? Why bother being hateful, negative, or otherwise stupid especially when you have one life to live? Well, the way I see it - If we were all cheerful 24 hours a day life would be extremely boring. Also, when there is an asshole - Suddenly you feel the need to punch the asshole. But his buddy is sitting next to you, so he punches you! But your friend hates this guy's buddy, because he punched you, so they go at it. And so on. I am ranting, can anyone hear me?

Unbelievably bored I am typing. We just got home from Stardust, I'm feeling tired but pumped full of energy and I dont know how to get my words across. I watch Youtube and review my latest comments on my video. I posted a video reply to this guy Chris Crocker's video regarding the age of consent. He talks like he thinks it should be legal for a 14 year old to date an 19 year old. Eew. What would the two find in common anyhow? Either way, I posted a response to his video and people seemed to like what I had to say. Hmm. I guess I just wanted to give my opinion...

Moo.

KITTIES!!!

Don't Trust Whitey!

Today as I turned a corner on my lunch break, carrying a delicious Cousin's sub, I ran straight into a HANDICAP. Now, this woman had to have been in her 70's - Featuring glasses as big as her face and riding around on one of those Wheel A'round motorized cart things.. And how did I know she was handicap? Her transport was decked out with one of those 'handicap' stickers and she seemed a bit.. how do you say, slow?

I ran into her, the cart started to tip. I did what any person would do, I used her to gain my balance which may or may not have meant basically pushing her over. The cart tipped and she made a noise similar to that of an injured seal crying for it's mother, and in an instant I heard the complaints. "Oh, my poor back... oh, my leg hurts... I hope my cart is okay..."

Bitch, please.

I helped her up and straightened out her cart, and everything was fine... as was she, and she could totally walk! Anyhow, she got back on the cart, too lazy to stand while she started asking me for money. "This could have hurt me you know, if you gave me some money for lunch I could forgive you." No, you're fine. "Well do you have ten dollars? I want to get some lunch." No. "Well I like sandwiches, can I have your sandwich?" No, this is my sandwich.

Eventually, she said "I hope you didn't break my cart, I'll find you..." And after telling her the cart was fine, but making a joke about installing some air-bags in that thing (which she didnt find funny) I managed to walk away from the scene of the crime without even leaving an I.D.

SUCKA!!

Yay

These videos just make me happy.

The Bridge is Falling Down

You know, when a terrorist attack occurs people ask "How could this happen?" And I used to think that was the dumbest question. Hate, anger, stupidity - That's how it happens. When I seen the bridge on TV I kept thinking to myself "How could this have happened?" It has made me so conflicted, and sad.

I am so thankful my friends and family are alright... A close friend of mine, her sister is still missing. They don't honestly know if she was on the bridge but it is very possible and no one can reach her. I am praying for everyone, and hoping that our city will take care of things like this so they dont happen again.

This is the exact comment I sent Amy, but it is exactly how I feel. I don't know what to think - What else could happen? What other disasters are just waiting to happen? Its dumb to think like that, so cynical and negative - And that isn't me. But right now it's all I can think about! People are mad at the city, people are mad at circumstance, and everyone is defending themselves. Why? The bridge fell the fuck down and suddenly there can be a defense for that?! "Oh, well it passed safety standards.." YEAH? AND? How dare these people make excuses, I know that everyone wants answers and if I had family or friends that were victims I would want answers too. But being an 'outsider' in some ways, I want them to honestly say "At this point it could have been anything." Instead the idiots are on TV and all they can do is make excuses and hope that someone will buy what they are selling. Ugh.

I sound jaded. I sound like an asshole? I just wish that our government would take responsibility for once. Get the God-Damn president down here. (Yes, I can say that because God was all like "you can say my name during your blog" and I was all like "Coo..") Back in the time of the Great Samurai, A general would lead his men into battle and fight alongside them. Even in the time of the indians, the chief would not sit in his tent until the war was over - He would take his bow and lead the fight from a high point, the point being he still DID SOMETHING. Well, what happens now? We have a President who just tells people to kill things, tells them they live in a 'free' country where anything is up for debate except for the fact that women shouldnt be able to make their own decisions and the gays have no right to marry one another, and he plays with shiny objects and CANT READ. I'm sure a kitten would do a better job of running this country and they would be cuter too.

No need to involve the Pres, though. I'm sure I sound so harsh, or dumb, or whatever. Just tired of this shit happening - Terrorist or not, things are getting freaky and no one has an answer as to why.
