I got midterms next week. Not really looking forward to it cause I have had next to no time to study so far. I am heading to bed now so that I might be able to study some tomorrow. I say this it seems like everyday now. I still need to complete my taxes and pay off all my bills. I need just a few more hours each day...and maybe I can catch up.

Being in retail doesn't allow you those full weekends like many others out there are use to. I kinda miss the weekends now. In college the weekend started on Thursday cause Friday classes were a joke most of the time. On Fridays you often would leave for a football game or basketball game over the weekend. Well those relaxing times are long gone it seems.

The DVD player broke on last weekend. So yesterday Hakeber and I went out to find a new one at 8pm. We came home with a DVD Home Theater System. We then stayed up til about 1am putting it together. The first DVD we played to see if there was picture was of course some pr0n. Then we slapped in the Matrix to set the audio levels. I can't wait to watch Pirates of the Caribbean again with the new system.

So back to the weekend delema...I think I want to become a high school math teacher. More on that after I watch the final episode of Sex and the City.

Today was another rough day. It seems everyday it gets a little worse than the day before. So I was glad to come home and have a beer (or two). Get to do it all again tomorrow too. Oh yeah...and I finally made it out of the Crimson Room a couple days ago.

Something I have noticed over the last few months has been my decrease in the time that I talk about psychology and school. Hell the first day of class the professor asked me who my advisor was and my mind went blank. The truth of the matter is that I really don't feel like a psychology student that works for a tire retailer anymore. In fact it is the exact opposite almost.

I talk, think, and even dream now about tires and tire service. I am now a service manager for a tire retailer who is also learning about psychology on his off day. Psychology has been pushed so far back that it borders on a hobby. This should have never happened and I am not sure how it happened in the first place. (Just now I got a call from district manager on my cell phone).

This is a major crossroads I have come to in my life. This brings to question, "Who am I really?" Another one would be, "Who do I want to become?" With the tire business slowly sucking me into it's giant chasm, I wonder what the future can hold for me. I actually contemplated an open position at another store that would mean even more responsibilty.

Man I wish life had reset button...

I don't know what it is about the game I like most...the super fast squirrel or the crazy anime music.

As I sit here trying to figure out my taxes for the first time I now think I should have started to learn this stuff when I was a lot younger. I got use to just signing the forms after my dad was done with them. Of course I now realize that dad wanted it that way so that he could get a bigger deduction. I mean I have found out that I have bank accounts under my social that I was previously told did not belong to me....interesting stuff.

So I think I am gonna get a refund it just depends on how big it will be. I have to research a little to see what I can get back. I guess if I had started a year ago I might have been in better shape. In a years time I have added a money market account, mutual fund, and Roth IRA to my portfolio. Thanks again goes out GB for getting me set up for retirement in my mid-20s.

Now as I wait for my laundry to finish drying and Symantec to finish scanning my hard drive for foreign entities, I am also trying to aviod going to one of those tax sites on the web. There is one good thing I learned from my dad about filing your taxes...never use the envelopes they send you with the forms. Apparently the bar codes are used to "randomly" pick people to audit. I figure the same is true for the new e-filing. Sometimes unmarked paper is just better.

So I changed my alternator, belt, and battery on my truck. I was actually fine with just the alternator but the battery was dead (although it could be jumped off) and still under warranty. I didn't think was gonna start after changing the alternator because of the battery. I bought a jumpbox and got a new battery before I notice that I forgot to connect one small cable (had to disconnect it to connect other wires up). The truck started right up. That was one Saturday wasted.

So Sunday came and went. DocJohnBoy came by and got some work done to his truck and I gave him a break on the price. Here that John! If you hadn't known me it was probably gonna cost like $600-700 to repair your ride.

Yesterday (I know it isn't the weekend anymore) was Janet Jackson's Nipple Day. In an elborate scheme to take this great day from the Groundhog...CBS, MTV, and NFL got together to plan the greatest (worst) accidental (planned) flash on live TV. General Lee just didn't have a chance. No one talked about how great the game was (dispite Carolina not winning). I don't think at my work anything talked about the game at all...just the boobie flash and commericals. This has led me to believe that by Super Bowl L (that is 50 for those who don't know their Roman numerals) we will have box score updates in between the 10 million dolllar commericals by Fortune 500 companies and "Girls Gone Wild" type of flashing by struggling entertainers that are really a decade too late to be doing that sort of stuff.
