Happy Birthday to me!
I love Facebook, it's great, for the same reason I had a Myspace account ...I have a Facebook account. It's a great way to keep in touch with old friends I'd otherwise never see or hear from again. I'm sure it will make High School Reunions that much easier to ignore : )
I've since deleted my Myspace account.....because it's lame. And for a while I got really engrossed in Facebook, I was tops in Farmville, Mafia Wars, I had hundreds of weird applications....anyway I pretty much cleared all that out once I realized I was obsessed with a few games (I litterally set an alarm at 5 am so I could wake up and harvest my carrots before they wilted :P).
After a few months of basically doing nothing with Facebook, I've become bored with it again... So I decided to mess with people. Nothing very new mind you, I've been in a relationship with my best friend on Facebook for over a year and a half and convinced many people we were gay.
But the best idea came to me a few weeks ago. All of the information regarding myself on Facebook was provided by me... So I had a birthday last week...and I think I'll have another next month.
My favorite part is that friends who grew up with me (whose birthdays I remember) all wished me a Happy Birthday 6 months in advance, and while one might figure this is a little cruel because noone really pays that much attention...I'm sure they'll figure it out when I have a birthday every month for the rest of time, if they don't catch on soon....then kudos to me.

OMG where's my ROFL VLOG!??
I've felt considerably more artistic lately.
I need to paint. My doodles at work are insufficient (although pretty cool).
I find it interesting to that I love using pen. Just a standard ballpoint. My art teachers would kill me, But I find most of my favorite work amongst the permanent scribbles of ink.
maybe I'll post a few, but I'm so behind on things. I still need to try and salvage my website, it's been down a couple months now, I still want to review movies. Still want to keep video blogging.
Also I wrote a poem...we'll see how good it is in a few weeks when I look at it again : P

The Man Cave
Well, I moved out of my parents basement.
Of course I didn't really have a choice.
I opted out of following my parents to the center of the state. Where I would have to commute 2 hours to work.
I good friend of mine and I found an apartment together. And to be more specific...it's not an apartment. It's a basement. In fact we've pretty much deemed it "The Man Cave."
600 bucks a month gets us 1000 square feet, two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a living area, with a stove and a fridge. No kitchen sink...that's the big thing. but we survive with the bathroom sink and occasionally going upstairs and borrowing the kitchen.
We're renting out the basement of the condo owned by a really nice middle aged couple.
Also our carpet is a super terrible 80's red and green plaid design.
It's pretty hardcore.
All in all I like it. Not the perfect Man Cave. We don't have a separate entrance so having company come over is sometimes awkward walking through the upstairs living room. But it's a nice place. Somewhere I can hang my posters and display my movie collections (even the rated R ones).
It's been a month and things are going pretty good.
And I'm liking my job pretty well too. been there almost six months now. Nothing permanent, but it's stable and not too hard. It can get a little intense sometimes, but it's rewarding and I seem to be getting the hang of it more and more. I hate being on the phones, but it's not a traditional phone job. We speak over a custom made Emergency Medical Alarm box and speak with Emergency Services all day.
I also discovered that my eyesight isn't as awesome as I always thought. after a few weeks starting the job I got bad migraines that took days to go away. Found out it was eye strain and I got some glasses. it's a pretty week subscription (in fact I often forget to wear them) but aparently starring at dual computer screens 8+ hours a day will teach you somethings about your eyes.
on the plus side I've started reading more again.
My eyes don't get as tired the more I read anymore.....huh.
I went out a picked up a copy of The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis, it's a book I've always figured I should give a chance but never figured I'd get around to. But why not, I was feeling particularly rich and it didn't cost that much. But then, once I started reading it I found it hard to put down...and it's not a hard read, or very big even. read about half of it in an hour or so, then a couple days later took a couple more hours and finished it off.
I don't personally know much about C. S. Lewis, but the topic of Christianity and Temptation were obviously subjects he studied quite a bit. Definately something he knew a lot about abd out a lot of thought behind. I'm not a very religious person, but I'd probably consider myself Christian. and reading The Screwtape Letters was probably the closest thing to a religious experience I've had in a couple years.
The ideas and he brings forth about the function of the Devil and his Demons is very entertaining as well. The book definitely makes you think, Which is exactly what I was looking for.

2009 movies
If for some reason you haven't noticed the list on the right hand side of this page, I've been keping track of all the new movies I've seen.
New as in: I haven't seen it before
not new as in: it just barely came out.
Totally tally from 2009 was 165 movies
In truth I thought it was going to be more, even though I estimate that I forgot to write down up to 5 of them.

I'm glad...
...glad that I have a few damn good friends.
In particular the one I would probably off hand call my "best friend" (even though I consider a few of my closest friends my best friends).
I am currently sitting in his room using his computer as he sleeps. It may only be 8:30 pm. but he had been awake since 3am after sleeping the day before. He has probably the worst sleep schedule I've ever known about.
Anyways I'm ridiculously thankful for him. He's a great guy. He's nice to everyone (to their face) and sometimes even too nice to the people he cares about. He's always been there for me.
More and more recently I spend the evening in his house simply because I don't want to go home. I feel so uncomfortable and often unaccepted at my parents house... and because he's awake at all hours of the night it's easy to just pop over for a few hours before going home.
He pretty much drops everything to hang out with me sometimes...even if I know there's something else he'd rather be doing.
And of course he's pretty awesome because for some reason he still likes me...even though I've broken more than a couple of his toys or pieces of furniture.

Holy Crap! It's December!
Got a phone call yesterday morning!
I was offered a role in the upcoming play The Odd Couple!
Not the role I was hoping for, but the only roles I was expecting were minor parts anyway, so I'm really excited to be involved.
And on a totally different note, I have a reoccurring nightmare wherein the brakes in my car fail as I'm driving down the road. I find it interesting that these dreams are popping up because I just got my brakes replaced, so that worry is at the back of my mind.
I guess just having to recently think about brakes at all is bringing the dreams back :P

Trying (again) to have a little Meaning
So I auditioned for a play.
Auditioned for a part in "The Odd Couple" at The Historic Empress Theatre down in Magna
(weather The Empress should actually be considered "historic" is obviously not up to me).
I dragged my friend along with me insisting that all we needed was a headshot and resume, however when we turned up they informed us that there was a miscomunication with the e-mails that were sent out and we needed a short something prepared.
No problem, though we all joked about it and they let us do a cold reading from the script.
It was also very nice that they let us audition together. I think it helped a bit.
They asked us both to come to callbacks. So tomorrow I go back.
I hope I get the part. I think it will help me have something to focus on besides just work and how depressed I am that my life is meaningless.
Not that being in a community play will change the world, but at least I'll be contributing to something.

hmmm...gay!
It seems I've reverted back to Jr. High School and anything I don't like gets described as "gay" or "retarded"... that is, of course, when I'm not cussing up a storm.
I've also realized that I'm very upset with myself.
I hate my life and most of what I go through, but I'm so very unmotivated to do anything about it. I end up just sitting and doing nothing waiting for it all to change, which naturally, it doesn't.
I feel very bad for Chelsea, i wonder sometime why it is she puts up with me... more and more lately I've had such bad days that we don't do anything anymore, I just go over to her house, put my head in her lap and pout.
And I'm extremely grateful for her, I'm just more and more mad at myself for ignoring her. I'm constantly reminding myself that she has wants and needs out of this relationship too.
She seems hellbent sometimes on helping my through everything I go through that she's often ignored. Sometimes it scares me how devoted she is to me, when I don't put nearly as much effort into the relationship as she does.
Things are looking up a bit. At least I've noticed these things and I want to work on them.

It's a long boring drive to Stansbury Island
My hand hurts SO bad.
My friend has a 12 gauge shotgun with a pistol grip. so instead of all that force going into a large stock into your shoulder... it all goes through a lot smaller space, right to your wrist.
this past wednesday I pumped 25 shells through the shotgun, my wrist was still sore this morning.
Then we went shooting again today, another 20 or so rounds with the pistol grip...then 50 rounds through a 9mm pistol.
Then while taking pictures I fell off of a rock and caught all of my weight (all 300 Goddamn pounds thank you!) on my fist.
Also this is the same hand that a cat attacked yesterday while I was pulling his tail...go figure
My thumb hurts even when I text : (
In the end though a decent day to blow off some steam
Also my elbow is scraped up and my knee...but not as bad as my hand

November still sucks!
Headache finally went away.
But for some reason I'm having a worse time coping with the Daily Monotinous that is my life.
It's ridiculous how obsessed with movies I am...but for some reason when I'm watchong a movie, or researching an actor or director I like... it helps me calm down. It lets me find a different kind of place of mind.
I'm more decided to get my website up and running than ever before, my main problem is a lack of reliable computer use.
Computer at home is not possible because my parents have everything locked up, and I feel bad going over to my friend's or girlfriend's house to get on and type reviews of movies to post to my site...I already spent a lot of time on their computers, and I feel weird every time I do.
I'm tired of thinking.
and I'm sick of my life.
Going to go watch another movie.
going to go pretend everything is different.
