I'm continue to work @ ABC but tension is mounting between myself and some of the other employees. My Mgr's like me for the most part so I'm not concered about getting fired in that respect. We are having out annual tent sale the entire week. So if u want to get a bargan, come on down. ABC Southgate. Airconditioning sales have started to take off and fans are selling pretty good too. I just bought a super cyclone fan and it works great. I do love my discount. Why do I have to work with moorons?
In others news, I went on a date last fri; thats right, no Necto for me. Can u believe that? Haha. I went to Gigis for the first time and a few other places as well. Despite the hard rain, I had a blast. Great date indeed.
MMA is going pretty good. I got m butt kicked last sat but I did manage to win a few rounds. The wheels are starting to turn. Overall, I'm stickin with it and will continue to do so. Learning more and more each time.
Dance class has kicked into high gear; Been learning new steps and a new routine that gets longer and longer each week. I'm lovin it. I'm gonna do the routine @ Necto fri night. Been practicing since sun.
Now I'm really gonna go at it and do some work. And I've become aware of what is to come and what I need to do. Some of which I don't like. In the last few weeks, my eyes have been opened to what lies ahead in terms of where I'll live, work, my family, and more. And the things currently in my life are helping me prepare for all of it. I feel myself getting stronger each day. My reflexes are quicker, stamina lasts longer, and I can think on my feel more. Senses are sharper too.
Forward I look and forward I go.

Recently, my passion, desire, and determination side has been very active. In the theature of my mind, it reveals itself as the leader of my mental army....General Abraham Sith. After the Sith lords of Star Wars. That side of me feels that I need to be even more aggressive with things. And not take any shit from people. It may be needed though I feel that it may cause more problems I don't need. I'm already marked by some cause they say I come on too strong as it is. The last thing I want is enemies accross the board. Already got enough of them; some for stuff not even my fault. And I do come on strong; just ask some people @ the Necto on fri nights..lol. I've got some stamina. I've become somewhat of a juggernaut these days; once I build up momentum its nearly impossible to stop me. And once I have something, I seldom let it go. Too aggressive? Maybe. Though as a saying goes..."A person must be like a sharpened blade that won't dull @ the first sign of resistance". I know I'm a person and not a sword; but I still need to be sharp and take command of certain situations. We all do. I've decided to give the general what he asked for; deep down, I believe its right. With these hard times, we have to take a hard line approach. I believe to an extent, we all need to be as sharp as swords. Warriors able to take up the fight. We all need to be these things. So for better or worse, I'm gonna go forward and give the general more latitude. Lets hope it works.

I was given the opportunity to go to a blast @ Necto this past monday but scheduel just wouldn't allow it. I find myself struggling with a bug that threatens to overtake me and turn into a full blown cold; the last thing I need right now.
Work is shifting here and there like the fault line in CA; every once in a while their is an earthquake..haha. Some horrible news yesterday made me realize just how lucky I really am despite circumstances.
Pridefest on sunday was pretty cool; saw almost everyone I know there.
Time for work.

In the time of ancient Greek gods; Aries was the god of war. Now the Empire unleashes its own brand of warfare against its enemies. For better or worse, I've decided to go forward with the MMA training. Not going to bank on anything but their are things I can get from it that will be very useful...
WAR!...The Empire proceeds to turn itself into a Juggernaut of a war machine. Dancing, MMA, and more; all the stops are being pulled out. Tension at work continues; their are points of view on both sides, conflict is everywhere. Today I got into a minor scuffle with one(1) of the salesman who was once a mgr @ another store. He has a habit of acting like he is still a mgr. It was about a tv that wouldn't fit into a car and I'm always against taking them out of the box; espeically the plasmas. I feel thats too risky a gamble. Even I wouldn't try it. A Couple wanted to do it in the end after they thought about it for a minute; I tried to convince them to get delivery. They chose to take it out of the box; crazy people in my book. The salesman gets on me about not encouraging that option. I give them the option to take it out of the box but I always recommend aganst doing it. Then he tries to give me the lacture about getting the stuff out of the store and doing whatever I have to do. I'm not going for it!! Sorry! He even stepped over one(1) of the mgr's heads once and acted really big. The mgr got offended and said "You really need to get away from me right now". GUYS A SHIT HEAD!! I think being a mgr once before has made him arrogant.
I have also been accused of being a sociopath. Question: do u all think I'm a sociopath?
Its been said the job market has been increasing in small strides. I would like to believe that but I won't til I get another job for myself. We shall see.

A buddy of mine did me a favor I didn't expect; though some might not call it a favor. I'm not sure of it myself. I find myself at odds with this latest decision and the Imperial Council(my closest advisors) is uncertain of it as well. Seems I have been presented with a worth wild, fantastic, but somewhat risky opportunity. My buddy made a call and got me a meeting at a self defense academy. I went there, had the meeting and was invited to participate in the training. Afterwards, I was invited to come study and train there and learn...MMA = Mixed Martial Arts. For those of u who don't know..MMA is the fastest growing sport today.....THE ART OF CAGE FIGHTING. Hence the UFC = Ultimate Fighting Championship. I'm very excited but their is a sense of uncertainty if I should go ahead with this due to the potential risks. This is no joke; this is real fighting, the gloves worn in an MMA fight are not like boxing gloves at all. Min padding. Their is a possibility of getting hurt really bad. I've seen it happen many times before on tv. Still, I feel stirred to proceed. I have till sat to decide. In other news, my dance class has started up again and I've already learned new choreography. This could turn into a very touchy balancing act. Though if I got hurt in dance class, it would be no different than getting hurt training MMA. No decision just yet, but I would like some input on what I should do. Opportunities like this don't come around all the time; also, people don't get anywhere cause they choose not to risk anything. Without risk, their can be no chance of reward or greatness. Their is a local MMA group called the XCC = Xtreme Cage Combat here in MI. XCClive.com if u like to check out the site. Though I have to say honestly; in the back of my head, I'm already thinking about working on my boxing skills. And I've already started learning some jujitsu and submission moves this past sat. I also feel the same connection with MMA as I do with dancing.
Still, the question remains...Is this what I really want?

Its been quite a while; time just seems to fly on by, can't belive it myself. Lots been going on. Good, bad, and ugly. U be the judge.
As my Empire prepares for all out war, tensions mount as I find myself becoming a bit conflicted about if its the right thing to do. The different sides of me that make up what is the Imperial Council has become divided. My passionate side says to go for it and crush all opposition, the lust in me wants more sex, and the wisdom part warns about the dangers of going all out in such a way. As I get stronger in various areas I get more opposition from the outside. Work, family, the club; envy is almost everywhere for me these days. I feel its green eyed presence trying to burn a hole thru me. As my advantage grows, so does the attitude of people; especially @ work. At one(1) point, some of the co-workers actually started to gang up on my for having to work only half a day fri and weekends off. Guess they feel I have a bit too much power and/or influence in some way.
Events: Recent and goin on right now...
I finally got the new/used car I've been looking for.
I got some cudos at work last week for a tough job well done.
Dating around like crazy; dating now screwing..lol. Though I do that at times too...haha.
Been looking for another position in the A2/ypsi and anyplace in the Canton area.
Went to Jackson last week. Broke the friday tradition of Necto everytime.
Been doing tons of paperwork and making calls for myself as well as my old man.
My nephew graduated with a science degree a couple of weeks ago; I went there, great ceremony.
Been working out more and more. Starting to notice the difference too.
Dance class resumes in just under a week finally.
I'm also considering going into MMA.
I've also got more energy than ever these days. So much that many become irritated and/or intimidated they can't seem to keep up with me. Think u can?
I believe thats it for me in a nutshell. Feel free to hit me up and aske me anything; or just to chat. All are welcome.

Its been forever since I posted here. Partially cause I've been battling an unearthly foe that sees my demise. A patron demon of hell called Belfagore or as he is called in the modern world..Procrastination. He is a tricky and fiendish foe. Very difficult to defeat. He controls SLOTH; which is one(1) of the seven deadly sins. Its as sweet as honey and as corossive as acid. The most deadliest of the sins. But I'm not easy to beat so I'm giving him one(1) hell of a fight.
Another of the sins I've had to deal with is Envy. The envy that some have towards me. One(1) person like that is under the same roof as me. What the hell is the world coming to when your own relatives feel envy towards you? Nutts I tell u.
Here are a few things thats been happening...
I finally got that new car I've been talking about for some time. Its used but new to me and runs like its on air. Didn't have to put any major repair efforts into it. Of course, its not perfect so I'm gonna work on it till it is.
I got a new phone that is cute. A razor.
Still #1 at work. Of course, not everone is pleased with it..haha.
Looking high and low for a new position now that things are getting a bit better.
Making plans to finally move into the western areas. Somewhere between Canton and Jackson. Don't know yet; I would love A2 though.
Been away from Necto and clubbing all together for the last three(3) weeks. Can u believe it? LOL.
And a text message I got yesterday has me in a very good mood. In fact, I'm ready to go back to Necto and rule the floor and stage. WOW!!
Got to go now, a 12 hr shift awaits me.

The last few weeks have seem much activity. I find myself with a jumble of emotions and feelings; fear, empathy, anger, irritation, but also joy, hope, and as always, a positive outlook. Despite all this stuff about the economy and all, I'm roll toward the future with a sense of determination.
I have sealed the deal on another car that I will pick up tomorrow.
My new model profile is up and running since I got my photos back from a shoot last summer.
Heading out to the Necto tonight for some fun and celebration of life and the future.
Work is still the same; the same old crap and people to deal with. Nothing changed.
I got a bit of a surprise yesterday and it was not to my liking but for now I'll just deal with it and watch it.
The weather is warmer and I believe it will get warmer from now on. I'm filled with warmth and excitment.
All in all, more positive than negative right now as I get ready for the Necto once again. And thats not the only thing I'm getting ready for. I'm going full speed with my resume and job hunting plans. Don't know where that will take me, but I'm goin for it none the less.

The last few weeks have been a time of action, planning, projecting, and reflexion. A lot has been going on...
I am now preparing to get my next car; if all works out, it will be tomorrow. Have a fairly good idea of what I'm going to get too.
Tensions continue to mount at work; especially from one(1) in my dept. He doesn't like pressure, let alone know how to handle it. He likes everything all neat and clean and wrapped up. Life however doesn't work that way at all. As pretty much all of us know. We have been feuding lately. Mostly over the fact that I work a 12 hr day and thus leave at 1pm on friday. That leaves him on his own for 4 hrs. Though most of us have been working on our own at times. If we need backup, we go to one(1) of the other depts. Most of the time we don't need it. I think I'd better get something else. I hope it won't but I'm seeing war in the future if I continue to stay.
The home front is doing ok; the old man is being civil at least. We actually work together at times and even get something done now and then.
The Necto continues to be my playground; I love the friday nights and do it up all the way. Though not everyone is happy with it of course...lol.
Speaking of that last comment; I continue to become more assertive and confident. Though some see it as arrogance. @ Necto, work, and even the homebase. I think they are not use to this new personality that has developed with me. After all, I wasn't always like I am now. It is rubbing some people the wrong way. My mom's warned me about being an Alpha. It really is..the good, the bad, and the ugly.
No matter what though....do it anyway, don't let anyone dictate the pace to u. Set your own pace and run with it. If people can't keep up, too bad. Its your life and self preservation is the first law of nature. Its not wrong to go after what u need and/or want.

Its been two(2) weeks since my last entry. I've been quite busy and occupied with many things. The range from another car to a new position to moving out to A2 no later than the end of the summer. Here is whats been going on...
Though I'm #1 at work, my enemies continue to grow. Right now I'm keeping them at bay and walking a fine line. Leaving is a must now; I don't need this to come to war.
I get closer and closer to another car; mother nature has been putting a dampener on that though. Seems she just won't stop with the snow over the weekends.
My resume is complete and soon I will have what I want in another position. Hopefully making more money too.
And a few opportunities have me quite buzzed. I have already followed up on a few of them. I hope they yield more money to me. I've also been broadening my horizons too.
I also got my photos from last year. I'm also planning another photo shoot soon.
In addition, I'm still training, planning, and dancing. Necto is where most of my friday nights are spent. I work the floor and the pole and I go all out. Like Brittany Spears, I call the shots...haha. I feel very enthusiastic and optimistic right now. I will continue working and be patient. Like the economic problems, things are not going to happen overnight nor will they happen quickly. BUT THEY WILL HAPPEN!!! I WILL MAKE THEM HAPPEN! AND U CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK! HEHE.
So now I'm heading out to Necto and dance the night away; probably have to deal with some snow coming back but I've done it before. I know if I can deal with that, I can deal with a hell of a lot cause this state's weather can dish out a hell of a lot.

The last few weeks have seen some fairly stable times; though their have been ripples here and there. Three(3) weeks ago my alternator went out and had to be replaced. Then two(2) weeks later, I got a flat on my way into work. I was able to get my spare put on at a nearby gas station with a service center. Then, just today, I saw two(2) people with flats; one(1) of them with a similar car to my own. I said a prayer for those people cause no one(1) deserves to have that happen to them. Recent events include...
Some of the co-workers just act like total tools. A few in particular. This store is a handfull; even for my GM. Unreal!
But I still proove that I'm the best of the stock and despite any mood I might be in. I'm still #1. Just certain things just tick me off; one thing in particular.
While in the bathroom, I heard and felt a disturbance from the cafeteria a few feet away. It sounded like someone was goin to come to blows. I heard cursing and yelling. Even worse, I think the GM himself was passing by at the time. Not good. I know at least one(1) salesperson who was sent home for the day. At least, I think he was sent home. At most he probably got wrote up. I'll know soon enough.
I think I almost have my new car; just a little further to go. Went to a car lot in Roseville with a buddy and saw some cool cars. They get a fresh supply ever week so we will check back with them later. My buddy wants to get a car of his own. In the meantime, my own search continues.
Operation "Warbird" Continues on.

The last few weeks have seen a lot of activity; a new president, new friends @ work, new enemies, inpending superbowl, idiot co-workers, crazy ass customers trying to get big screens for the game. Its a love hate relationship with retail; on one(1) hand, its a huge chunk of the economy, on the other hand, it can suck a lot of times, especially when u work in it. People as a whole are just crazy, stupid, and foolish to say the least. Though as individuals, they are the total opposite. Such as the people I know. Here is the latest.
The president has taken office and is already hard at work with his new plan; though the republicans voted against it. A new bill was passed in the senate by majority vote. The republicans went against it. Suprised? I just hope this works.
My list of enemies grows at work; but so does my list of allies.
Things as home are stable at least for now. I still want to relocate to A2 asap.
My friday nights are still going strong @ Necto. I've also made some new buds in the A2/Ypsi area. With a few benefits..wink.
I am preparing to try and get more money for my own sort of stimulus package. I will ask the imperial council this coming weekend. I think I can do it. Though with things as tight as they are and the car objective not year reached, it will be a fight.
I went to see other cars this past sat; went to a pretty good place in Roseville but they didn't have much a of a selection. They get a fresh load in every monday. A friend and I will check back with that later. In the meantime, I'm still searching on my own. I have to play this right cause I may not get another shot for a good while. The prime minister(the old man father) is impatient with this more then ever these days. He just doesn't understand how things work at all. He is just a total tool.
One(1) way or another, I must move forward with things. And if people won't roll with me, I have no choice but to roll right over them. Making deals, conceeding, and kneeing to the whining of others is not going to be so easily tolerated anymore. That goes for relatives as well. They don't get special dispensations.
As the weather starts to get better, I too am getting better, sharper, and more fit. I'm back to working out and am already feeling and seeing the difference. Today is my long shift; but I get out at 1pm the latest. So that will give me plenty of time to do some business. With luck, the council will vote and return with great news about the package finances I ask for.

Its getting to be an exciting time in my life that is cascading and just won't stop. Nice chain reaction...heh. So now here is the lowdown...
The part timer is goin off to school which leaves a gap in the scheduel. And I know that Jay going to be pissed cause he will have to be on his own for 4 hrs. He can't handle any pressure. Or shall I say, he can't handle it worth a dam..sheh.
The old man can't tell fact from fiction too well anymore. Suspicious of everything I or anyone but my brother does. If this is what its like to be old, I wanna someone to poison me when I'm around 70ish. If I start acting crazy like my old man that is...lol.
I continue to do it up at the Necto; and as always, not everyone is happy about it. I don't care. I take over, and I love it. Though I just really do what I do.
One(1) of my good shirts got ganked last friday while I was dancing. How about that? That doesn't normally happen either. WTF!!!
And then afterwards, a headlight I didn't know was out, landed me in trouble with the ypsi law. I'll handle it, already got the internal lantern replaced. Just have to let them see it and I'm all good within 10 days. NO SWEAT.
I'm especially proud of myself now; I did something that many wouldn't do. I braved the weather yesterday to do an outside photoshoot in the snow. In Mt. Clemens. I took shots down by the clinton river too. It was awesome, I was cold and so were the other two(2) people that showed up. All in all, it was a success. The photographer was great. Should get the pix in about a week or so. But this experience has shown me that if I really want something bad enough, business or pleasure, I can do it if I choose to. The choice is always in my hands. Now, armed with this new power and revalation, I'm really ready to make my mark this year.
OPERATION WARBIRD continues.

The new year has begun; though I still see the same old drama playing out day after day after day. @ work, the homebase, and/or Necto. I know it will never be gone totally, but a great deal of it can be eliminated and/or reduced to a bare min. A few things going on now...
Jay @ work is really acting like an ass. And pushing me to my boiling point. Can't believe I have such a long fuse. Guess my study and experience with patience has paid off.
The old man is getting stupid a bit more each day. Its getting so he is starting to reject all rational thinking. Don't know what he will be like come the end of this year.
My bro is employed again with a 25% pay cut. Ugly, but its better than nothing.
While paying my cell phone bill this past sat; my car battery died. After a kind man gave me a jump, I made it back and no sooner than I got up to the house, the car died. I went to Murray's and got a new battery and neg connector. All is well with that now. I have a strong new battery to see me thru to my new car.
The search for the new car continues; as my bro said, I won't make any hasty decisions.
As the new year progresses, I find that I'm coming more and more into my own. But that new power tends to be a destabilizing factor for many around me. None the less, I belive this is the course I need to take to make my mark and my dreams come true. I have to admitt I'm a bit obsessed with my goals. So be it. To that end, I have posted my new resume on a special job bank and am making plans to get a new suit, and to start training again, and keep training.

Another year has dawned....2009. And for me its already been an interesting time. I now have a new and solid plan to get what I want, what I deserve, and really make my mark in all areas. In a few ways, I've already done that as it is. I'm sure they will never forget me at work when I move on, and the necto fri night in Ann Arbor. Which is the place of my future home. Here are a few of the things goin on right now in this fresh new year....
I paid up my cell phone bill in full and am in good standing.
When I tried to leave to run other errands, the car wouldn't start. Turns out the battery was all but dead. Despite attempts to charge it will a portable jumper, it wouldn't respond. I eventually had a kind stranger jump me and I made it back. No sooner than pulling up to the house, the car died and didn't come back. I went to Murray's and got a new battery and a neg connector.
Work is still busy, people still buying, returning, and exchanging things. One(1) of the part timers is leaving to head back to school next week. This will leave a gap in the scheduel and the one that has to deal with it isn't happy about it. Drama, I can't stand it. Though in some ways I can be a lightning rod for it. Its ironic. This is why I have reservations about hiring people in school and/or working a second job. I understand both but it does mess with the scheduel. I'll do what I must.
My brother recently joined the unemployed; but he is far from finished. He is already getting back at it and interviewing with different companies.
My car search continues. Early favorites are Honda, Toyota, and some Fords.
My boss got after one(1) of the salesman today; I've never seen him get that angry before. It was quite unsettling.
My new resume has been deployed into the mix; we shall see what happens.
New social circles have opened up for me. A few in particular that I've had some intimacy with...wink.
I got two(2) new CD's for xmas that totally rock. As well as a few gifts from my bro.
09 is already starting to shape up into quite a year. Now I really have to put my nose to the grind and work it. Already got a new operation in effect. Its only the first month of the new year, so lets see how it turns out.

It is not December; the final month of the year, and the last days of the year. Thanksgiving is gone and Xmas is just around the corner. The people are buying their gifts more than ever now. Its getting to be a madhouse at work. The trucks are getting larger but not too out of control for the most part. The small appliances dept get a lot of stuff. Good ideas for the holiday gifts. In other areas..
Jay disrespected me today when he didn't help me with a front load washer. He later appoligized after I reported him.
Its a battle to get that next car of mine as my search continues.
New resume is circulating around; hope I get a bite or two(2).
The customers are more generous with xmas coming up. Got good tips the last few days.
The old man is more or less tolerable for the most part.
And conspiracy forces have been revealed to me. They take many forms. Such as my old man, certain members of my family, some people at work, and more. And in the forms of envy, wrath, and greed. These sins when directed toward me can be formidible.
And without meaning to do it; I made a sale. Sold a lady on a countertop microwave. Not sure how I did that...lol.
Tomorrow is my 12 hr shift again and then Necto friday. Looking forward to both. Still much to do, but it can and will get done. The council shall meet and then decide on the next action to be taken.

Its been a while since I've been here. Man, have a lost track of time. Not to worry, I'm back and I've got a whole bunch of stuff to tell.
...Its a time of great change and upheval; with the end of the year coming and the holidays well underway, people are shopping and becoming a bit more generous. Made 10 bucks in tips this week; not bad, but I always hope for the best. They usually get bigger as the time gets closer to the end of the year. I'm making out new plans and preparing to put them into action. First, is to save up some money; some of them require finance. Next, I have to learn to utilize all the energy I get from Necto and/or work to the fullest. I feel that I've not been using it to the fullest potential. Also have to slowly get back to working out again. The holidays and everything else goin on have swayed me off track. Starting the first of the year, I'm heading back on my diet and work out. I also plan to sell my crossbow exercise machine. I'm also going to take care of some unfinished business...the lawsuit to be exact. New car search continues as I ship into high gear. Hopefully this will be a great xmas present for me. Here are a few other things...
My list of friends grows. However, so has my enemies.
At work, the stock guy Jay bitches and moans about the most stupid shit. Reminds me of my Litho/Color days. And the issue is the same..the radio.
The old man continues to loose what he has for a mind. He can't deal with the technology of comcast, or comscat as he calls it. Would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic. And he said something that my mother always feared he would.
I have two(2) new recruits to train at work. this will look good on my resume for sure.
Thats about all thats goin on now. Peace

This past sun, I went on stage @ The Royal Oak music theature and did my first live performance in over 4 years. It was awesome. I owe it all to CASP and my artistic coordinator Christopher. We were the finalie of the whole event too. It could have been at a better time in the show. We had lots of fun too. It was just as I remembered it. Hair, make up, shuttle in style to the back of the theature, then down to the dressing rooms. 10 minutes, then 5 minutes, then someone shouted 3 minutes Vince! It was a rush I won't ever forget. Then afterwards was even crazier. People wanting to take my pic and everything. My stylist did a great job with my costume too. It was awesome. I look forward to doing it again in the very near future.
The rest of this week is goin pretty well but I'm currently battling a cold; bug usually comes down on my this timea year so I was expecting it. I've already begun attacking it agressively with meds and hot drinks. Most of the conjestion is already gone and my chest no longer hurts when I cough. The cough itself is also going away and sniffles are all but gone now. I even stayed out of work today to make sure I got plenty of rest and allow my body to recharge and regenerate. Once both are done, I'll be at my zenith; and that means my most powerful. Always have been at my strongest soon after I recover from illness or injury. And once more the Empire will rise up and take command..hehe. Getting closer to getting a new car too.

A few years in the past, I was a member of a popular club group that dominated a popular downtown Detroit club; calling ourselves the Dance Notsees..DN's for short, at our peak we were near 30 members strong. A powerful club empire. People took notice and we called for attention. It was a great feeling to have the spotlight on u totally. Though over the years, especially since the passing of my moms, that fire has died down considerably. Now a decision needs to be made.
Should I go back to those old ways again?
Pros: It gave me focus and made me oover powerful. Their was not anything I felt I couldn't do. I developed my love for dancing which lead me to a great dance academy, met a whole bunch of people that were the same way. Had some really great times, and came out of my shell big time. Was part of a club nexus, could get noticed by the right people (its happened before).
Cons: Will make myself a target, will make potential enemies, could create intimidation. potential altercations (u never know what goes thru people minds...my moms).
It would seem that their are more pros than cons; though the cons are somewhat alarming by their prospects. All the same, the decision will be make soon. Welcome any and all input.
Today I return to class in about 3 hrs. Looking forward to it. Need to prepare more for the show sun oct 12. Its gonna be awesome.

My bro has gone back to NC eariler this week. Although he helped start the cleaning, it still continues. The basement is much neater even I have to admitt; not that I was bothered by it before. But the old pipe had to be replaced and a major plumbing job was needed. To its credit, everything went smooth more or less and the new pipe is in place and running great. The washer and dryer are running great now and a new heat vent was put on the dryer too. Only one more thing remains and that is about to be taken care of even as I write this. I'll handle that myself. The old man got what he wanted more or less though I really don't see him all that satisfied. I would certainly show my satisfaction over a great job. Never could understand him to save my life.
The preparations ocntinue as I go over and make more changes to my resume in hopes of landing a higher paying position in the very near future. I have also taken some advice of my bro to heart and decided on trying to volunteer some services in the field I want to go into. Perhaps people will see that I'm not so rusty if I am working in the field even now. And Volunteer work looks good on a resume. Always has.
Another weekend off is mine once more; hope I get a private lesson tomorrow in class. I like those a lot. We should have our dress rehersal next week and then the show itself. I also have an opportunity to make some extra money this coming sun @ Lakeside Mall. I'm still awaiting info on that.
Tonight is undecided this time; I might go to Utica, I might go to A2, I might go to Troy. Right now, A2 seems to be the winner. Its Dan's bday so its looking like I need to go there. Though Utica has a very attractive offer itself. I'm seeing someone there and they talked about getting together again tonight. He has not contacted me yet.
I finally met up for Doug; a bud of mine who lives in NW Detroit near the border of Dearborn. Stopped off at his place for a minute; he is doing some major cleaning too. I also have some cleaning I want to get done. I'll take care of that later this weekend. So far, the war goes well.
