I'm so blaaa

Last night I go so depressed that it was downright ugly. It got so bad that I didn’t want to play City of Heroes. (Yes I know, its shocking isn’t it). Between finding a new place to live, school debt and the cost of living in this city, I just wanted to crawl into a hole and die, but I’m feeling much better now.

Why is it that when things finally start going my way, someone or something has to start mucking things up. Basically change is in order, a total change. At least the moving is the first step in that. The second step is going to be the job. It has to be.

Here’s the deal. Most of the people here are not the type of people I would normally hang out with. I’m not saying that they’re bad people but most of them tend to hang around with people of their own ethnic group and speak their native language. So basically I have 1 or 2 people that I hang out with at work, and one of them gave their notice this week. I need to see new people.

The worst thing is that I’m feeling sorry for myself and if you really put things in perspective, I really in a better place than many others. I have a roof over my head, I’m able to eat 3 meals a day, and life isn’t a struggle for me. My issue is that I’m not doing as well as my parents were when I was growing up. It’s shallow, I know but I can’t help it. I think this is why people from other countries come to Canada and do so well. They had nothing and managed to build good lives for themselves. I, and others in my group, had it all handed to them as a child and sort of expect the same thing as an adult. I know its wrong but….

As pathetic as it sounds, I can’t decide if I’m depressed that I’m not being spoiled or that I’m lonely. Either way, its pretty gad in my opinion.

One thing I do know. I have to get out of this place.

Major Yadda yadda

I’m having one of those days where I don’t know what to write about. At this point there’s some blaa blaa going on at the desk beside me. It sounds like Bs to be and it’s driving me nuts? The damn person won’t leave either. GRRR.

Ok they’re gone now. Once again Blogger Block has kicked it. I don’t know what to write about. At one point, I started to write about Heroes. It’s now my favorite TV show, after last night’s episode. That episode rocked and got us some answers, as opposed to Lost, which just keeps giving us more questions., the big thing from this week was that we discovered where H.R.G (Horn Rimmed Glasses) true loyalties lie I don’t want to spoil it for people for people who haven’t seen it but it was a good episode. Oh and Vics, Heroes will start airing on BBC Two in June so try to watch, you will not be disappointed.

I was also listening to a podcast a few days ago and this song called Code Monkey started playing and I loved it. It as an IT theme to it but it’s something that everyone can relate too. After all, Code Monkey isn’t the only one who likes Fritos.

More people keep leaving the company, good people that is. Why is it that the good people leave and the assholes stay? Will someone explain something to m because very soon, this company will be nothing but assholes. I think it’s time to get out.

Sigh. I’m feeling really brain dead today. I know that some people like it when I wing a blog post, but let’s face it, this post is a big load of turd. We’re talking major poop here.

I’m also starting to notice the massive return of the spelling mistakes and all I have to say is SHIT!!! GAWD DAMMIT. !!! I’m trying to be creative here, coming up with new ideas, adding my voice to the blogosphere and I can’t seem to catch a stupid spelling mistake. I blame Microsoft, the bastards. Maybe I can sue someone and get some monkey (I mean money.)

One thing I have noticed is that some companies now exist simply to sue other companies and this really blows. Someone who sued Microsoft, was just awarded 1.5 BILLION dollars in relations to a patent involving MP3’s. Now here’s the deal, I think Microsoft should have to give the money if, and only if, Bill Gates gets to go over their offices every day and randomly beat someone with a crowbar until they pass out. I know as a computer geek, I’m suppose to poo poo Microsoft and root for the other guy but ENOUGH is ENOUGH. Give it up people.

I guess that’s all I can think of today, so remember, Code Monkey like Fritos.

Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew.

Just some yadda yadda.

I don’t know what to write about. I’m at work and I’ve drank 3 591ml bottles of Gatorade, but its doing nothing for my mood. It’s not that I don’t dislike Gatorade, its just that there’s no booze in it. To be honest, I’m not much of a drinker as opposed to some other people I know. Some of them are probably in a Pub somewhere across the pond talking about me again.

I was requested to defend my country’s honor online and I did so. I’m still waiting to hear the response from the other parties. However considering how often The Bloke posts, I don’t expect to see a response until 2009.

I’ve actually spoken to the gun once or twice and he seems like a good guy despite a quirk or two. Stuff like running around their flat, shouting “Baboon”, or when he answered the phone, saying that Vics was taking her monthly bath. I’m sure she put him his place, and then he starting shouting Baboon over again.

It’s all quiet now. I’ve started closing my office door, because I’m sick and tired of the noise outside. People coming in and asking about this and that; because I’m the IT guy, they ask me non IT related questions, stuff like “Why did I get a speeding ticket?” “Maybe you were speeding.” Then she said, “No, I got into an accident when her car slid into an intersection.” “Then you got it because you lost control of you vehicle.” Then she says no again. Then I say, “It should say so on the ticket.” To which she says no, that’s not it. At this point I close my door and shake my head. I can’t take it. I sometimes wonder how these people generate enough brain power to get out of their homes every day.

I need to start putting in some more serious effort to finding a new place to live. Right now I’m just doing a check here and there in my neighborhood but If I don’t find anything by next weekend (the beginning of March), I’m going to have to use one of those home locator services. I found on that would give me access to their database for about $20 for 30 days. I’m sure I can find a place in that time span. I want to be out of my current place by April 1.

I’m starting to ramble so I guess; I’ll stop when I’m ahead.
