Not enough time...

Wow!

Lately there hasn't been time to write I feel like the day needs more hours so that I can accomplish everything. Today Im booked for sure and Im not sure if I'll be able to post although I did want to.

Today, my friends and I are going paintballing and Im looking forward to it! :D Then later concession once again and today we definitely have to go because yesterday we didn't. Yesterday I spent time with my friends once again. Just knowing the fact that I have less than 2 weeks here before I leave makes me sad. I have to squeeze is so many goodbye parties and make time for my friends and family. 

Things I will for sure talk about in a next post for sure and I mean for sure are:
1) What a Posada is
2) What I got for Christmas and how it went
3) How New Years will be spent
4) The boys in  my life lol
5) The daily activities that I do
6) How Paintball went today

Yeah, its going to be a long post, but I hope you enjoy it. Comments are always greatly appreciated it! I'll make several paragraphs so it makes it easier to read.

Oh things to show (in pics):
1) Christmas tree
2) Me in my paintball uniform
3) Umm any other suggestions? Keep it clean though Im not going to post a picture of me nude or showing anything just so you know ;) Comment though, it doesnt hurt to ask

Well got to go and get ready...

Lates,
John.

It's almost here!

I know it's been a while since I lasted posted, but I have been busy with decorating the house and going to the basketball games and working the concession stand.

Yesterday, we played Texas Tech and the rumor was that the game was going to bring in a lot of people. Well guess what?... It did! I mean a lot of people ordered from our stand. I attended over 300 people before the game had even started. Our stand probably saw more than 1000 customers after the half time. I had to restock my cups, lids and ice a couple of times before half time. Usually everyone buys food or beverages at halftime, but there was a constant flow of customers before half time. When half time arrived it was a nightmare. Don't get me wrong I had a blast. At one time I saw the cashier box and I thought "Damn, I'm rich!" of course it isn't my money, but it was the side I was taking orders from.

During the game, a lady approached me and said "I was walking by and my husband had ordered food and YOU forgot to give him the water" I was like "Oh I'm sorry" as soon as I had said that my supervisor was there to see what was up. My supervisor trusts me over the customers because she knows how I work and that I never forget anything in a order. So my supervisor said "What is the problem, ma'am?" and the lady repeated herself. My supervisor asked "is your husband around?" and the lady said "No, but he *pointed at me* forgot to give him his water. I just came by to pick it up". My supervisor hesitated and the lady said "I just want to get the water and I don't want to get this young man in trouble" (as if she thought my supervisor would have been mad at me, but to the contrary she was getting mad at the lady). My supervisor just said "ok" and handed her the water. When the lady left, I said, "Miss, I don't remember this lady and why couldn't the husband come back? There is no way she can prove that we didn't give her husband a water because he didn't come and pick it up" she said "yeah, I know, but whatever I was going to start something, but then I'll get in trouble and cause a big problem, I decided to keep my mouth shut." I was furious at this point because first of all the lady couldn't prove it and she blamed me specifically. Out of all the boys there she put the finger on me maybe because I look young and I am more prone into getting into trouble because the assumed lack of experience? I remember my customers faces and if they were recent, their orders too, but I clearly did not see this woman anywhere. I think she robbed from us, a bottle of water, you are probably thinking it's just a bottle of water and true it is, but it costs $3.25 and we end up losing that money and to top it off she blames me! If she stole from us wow, I can't believe people would do that just for a bottle of water. We accept credit cards and there is even an ATM machine in front of our stand, but no they are just to greedy.

After closing we had 30 or more hot dogs for the band that no one came by to pick up for them so we grabbed some and ate some. One lady came by and asked if we could give her some of our left overs and we just told her we had some hot dogs. She asked for two and I gave her two. As soon as she turned to leave a boy about 12 to 13 years old came up and asked "how much are those *pointing to the hotdogs the lady had*" I said, "uhhh...those... are... free. How many do you want?" He just brought one finger and I gave it to him and told him "if anyone asks tell them you bought it" he said ok. The reason why I told him to say that he bought it was because I didn't want random people coming over and asking for hotdogs. It would be weird and wrong of us having a line of people getting free hotdogs. I walked out and saw the kid walking back to the game and I have him a thumbs up and he smiled. I thought it was cute how he approached the stand asked for a hotdog.

Afterwards, I went to one of my friends birthday party and it was pretty chill. Had lots of laughs and yelling, but playing around though. We then watched Aliens 2, which I have seen before, but it was good watching it again with friend who hadn't even seen it.

Yesterday and today I've been putting up my Christmas tree, yeah I know it's late, but I have family coming over on Wednesday for a Posada (word is in spanish). For those of you who don't know what it is, I'll tell you tomorrow in another post. Besides the tree I've been putting up Garlen on the rails for the stairs. I've just been busy busy. Oh we got a new fridge which I like because it's very spacious and its silver! Also, a dishwasher too, me and my bro hauled out the old one onto the curve for anyone to take it, free of charge!

So Christmas is almost here and I'm excited!! I still need to go buy my parents and my brother something! I'm running out of time!

I'm not sure what else to write and I know I'm forgetting something, but I don't know what exactly. I think it's the fact that talking to guys from the GYC is fun and we become friends, but all of a sudden they stop talking to you. Ugh I hate it when that happens because it's like ok so they add you on facebook, but they never talk to you again. Even through messages from the GYC, guys just stop talking to you and you're like wtf just happened. I mean if you're going to request me at least talk to me in a constant flow of time. Argh! I guess I'm just a little pissed off because of the boy I thought liked me just vanishes and I don't hear from him. It seems like I'm putting all the effort and I don't see his half. In the beginning I did, but now its different. I'm just confused. Maybe it's other things and I'm already blaming it on him. All I can say is "Time will tell'.

That's it for now. I'll post pictures of my Christmas tree for you guys to see and let you know how big my tree is! Lol. I'll also let you guys know what a Posada is. I do concession tomorrow, again! Two games in a row women's then men's basketball. Well...

Wednesday

Not my favorite day of the week.

Things I did today:

I woke up late, due to the fact that I went to bed late. I stayed up playing COD: Black Ops for the xbox 360 online. If you guys play then I wouldnt mind having you guys play with me, just give me your gamertag (inbox me).

Then I was asked to leave the house by my brother. He just needed the house for himself and his gf. Yeah, his own private time, but Im cool with it. I had already asked him once before so I owed him one time. During the 2 hour period that I was gone, I went to Target and Best Buy just to look around. I found some interesting things I wouldnt mind having, but I dont have the money. Oh well.

Then I decided to go home. It was clear to go home I asked before I headed out.

I came home and ate some food my brother made and just relaxed for a while. At around 5 I left to work at the concession once again. I love doing it so it wasnt like the worst feeling, but I did feel a bit lazy to go. We prepped and started doing our thing. This time it was a bit more busier than last time and I liked it. Our nachos orders got backed up because we had so many to deliver and some of our sodas ran out too. Our hotdogs also got backordered. So a lot of the food that we sold got backed up. The max I charged someone today was $51 on just food and beverages. I thought it was insane just to spend that much money on yourself, wife and 3 kids.

We cleaned up and closed up. Next one is on Saturday and our supervisor told us its supposed to be a lot busier than today because we play a bigger school. Im excited already just to see how many people we get. It should be lots of fun.

I got home and my parents started talking to me about my housing and financial status to the school Ill be transferring to this coming spring semester. Im already excited. We started looking at apartments to stay in and this is really exciting.

Now, Im just sitting here typing this post, but I have a headache that wont go away. I think its because Im tired? or sleepy? or both. So Im going to bed, I hate having headaches! Argh!

Yesterday's Somewhat Boring Day's Post

Yesterday was rather boring throughout the whole day. It went like this:

I woke up late to church, so I hurriedly put on some jeans, a polo  and a sweater. I rushed to brush my teeth and comb my messy hair. We took off to church. We then came back home and I got to drive the M3 once again. Its been a while since Ive driven that car, although I see it everyday in the garage parked to my car it is rare for me to drive it.

We got home and started making breakfast. I was still tired so I kind of let my brother and mom do all the cooking. Yeah I know Im bad, but hey at least I toasted the bread. I was just reading the newspaper on the couch most of the time. There is always a drug violence article in the newspaper, it never fails. 

Got done with breakfast and then went upstairs to take a nap. I took a 3 hour nap and then woke up to get ready. A couple of friend and I were volunteering at our schools concession stand for the basketball game. I took a quick shower and got ready. I was supposed to meet a friend at 4:45 pm, but I ended up getting there like at 5:05 pm. He got mad, but I told him to take a chill pill. 

This was his first time and Ive been doing these for quite some time so I know all the drills and rules. When we got there we started prepping by bringing ice for the fountain drinks, making carriers for drinks and nachos, making popcorn, and bringing out the cups and lids. My supervisor broke us up into teams. My usual partner and myself were like the trainers. The two newbies (my friends) were given new positions. One was with me he was nothing, but my cashier. I did all the drinks. My other friend was doing nothing, but getting the cashiers orders like getting water, nachos, popcorn, hot dogs and sausages. There was another kid who I didnt know, but he was drink provider for my usual partner. There were 3 stations. I was in one my partner was in the other one and in the last one I had my supervisor. There are only two fountain drink dispensers so myself and the other kid have to be ready to attend the customers on our left and right. 

Anyways, the game wasnt even packed, there were people, but not as many as other times. I expected a lot of customers, but it was quite dead. I like it when theres a ton of people to help because it makes it exciting, but not this time. It would have shown the newbies how it really gets, but maybe next time. Public events such as Cirque du Soliel are a lot funner too because there are twice as many people and we can sell beer. We have to pour the beer so I have experience in that AND we can put a tip cup which we can make money. The  bad thing is I havent done a public event in a while. The ones that I did do were awesome because I got to Kiss and AC/DC for free just because I was working at the concession stand. 

My school raped (sorry for the language) the other team real bad so people left really early. We closed up 5 minutes into the third quarter and started cleaning up. We got to eat some of the leftover hot dogs and took some popcorn home. The food paid off especially since we were all hungry. When business was slow I had my friends to talk to so that was good to keep each other busy and entertained. 

We then left and our supervisor told us that if we wanted to come and help out on Wednesday and Saturday that would be great. I signed up for both days because I love doing this. The 4 of us signed up for Wednesday and 3 of us for Saturday, one wasnt sure if he would be free to go. 

We drove to my friends house to chill, but he ended getting a call from his parents that he had to go to another city an hour away to drop off some meds. He was angry at that and we decided to take off. They invited us to go along with them, but I wasnt in the mood to be on the road for an hour and a half. 

I came home and gave my mom the popcorn I had because she was watching a movie. I sat and watched the movie till it ended. I stopped at the laundry room and took most of our clothes upstairs. I do all the separating of clothes for me and my brother. He is very lazy and it irritates me when it comes to his clothes. My brother and his room is.... a mess! Thats a different story. 

I put my clothes away and got on my laptop till around 2 am. I was tired and headed out to bed. 

That sums up yesterday, pretty boring day, actually. 

Oh I recommend the new Deadmau5 album 4x4=12 its really good. For those of you who dont know him, he plays techno music and djs for other artists as well. Check it out if you're into techno/trance/house music. 

Until my next post.

Freedom has never felt so good

Its official! Im done with this semester I just have to wait for my grades. We finally finished and turned in our project at 3 pm.

I went to bed very late today lets try 6:20 am and then I woke up at 11 am to go to the library and start the project. I havent had my usual 6-7 hours of sleep. I have headaches all the time and Im constantly falling asleep. Now I dont have to worry because I am free.

No more staying up late and drinking coffee to stay awake. Well it will happen again, but not for another semesters time. Now time to relax and catch up on those z's.

Last night I spent a good time talking to my boo and I loved every minute of it. Best night/morning to date.

Im suppose to watch a movie but I dont know if Ill end up falling asleep when it starts. I have family over so who knows. Im in my pjs and nothing can stop me from falling asleep. Well someone can, but he'll just tell me to go to sleep.

Oh, I want to thank all my readers out there because you have given my blog more than a thousand views and Im happy. I thought I would have never reach that number but for the past two weeks Ive been getting more views per day. Thanks, I hope you are all enjoying reading the things that happen every day of my life.

I like your feedback and I have changed the font so more of you dont have to strain your eyes to read my posts. All feedback is welcomed! Thanks.

Im not sure when Tron comes out, but I want to go see that movie. The soundtrack is awesome too, especially Derezzed by Daft Punk. That is one epic song and motivating.

Well Im off to lay down or see what the plans are.

Once again thank you guys!

Tomorrow night Ill be celebrating my freedom! Im so excited! 


Last night I drank 24 oz of coffee and today I woke up not feeling so good. Even though I was feeling a little sick I still had to get up and go back to school to study some more. Its been like hell this past week and I just want it to be over. 


I just want to spend some time and talk to this beautiful boy I met. I hope he gets better too. 


Well Im going to get something to eat then take a nap then go back to school and finish that damn project.

My weekend revolved around paintball

Its been a while since I last posted and theres a reason behind it. It wasn't because I was lazy or just didnt have time. I did have time, but I wasnt at home all weekend. I was in San Antonio playing scenario or woodsball paintball. Here's how my friday led to my Sunday evening.


Thursday, I had come back from meeting a group of friends about our project. It was a waste of our time because we had decided on something so simple that we took 3 hours to just see what would be the outcome. We were at the library and of course they have tons of computers so each and one of us was on a computer. I was doing some homework for another class. Three others were doing the exact same thing until they noticed and decided that one person should do it. It all came down that I would do the revisions after they had submitted the draft. I agreed. I thought it was perfect. We all then left home.


I got home at around 11:30 pm. I still hadnt packed for the trip. I started packing and got done at around 12:20 am. I then took a shower and ended up going to bed at 2:00. I had to wake up at 5:30 am, but didnt get picked till around 7:00 am. So off we started our drive to San Antonio. I fell asleep a couple of times because I had only a couple of hours of sleep. We ended up driving for 10 hours that day.


We got into San Antonio and stayed at my dads apartment. Ate pizza, fell asleep, and froze at night.


Saturday, was abruptly woken up with my uncle throwing pillows at me >:( I threw two back. I got out of bed, took a quick shower and got ready. The night before I had resumed talking to a boy on the gyc who made me smile everytime I read his messages. He is really cute and I have just realized that Im a sucker for blonde blue eyed boys.


Anyways, we had to drive for an hour to our destination and in the meantime I was on the internet awaiting for any sign of a new message. This was all on my phone, which leads me to the reason why I didnt post. I just had my phone to pose and trying to write on my phone would take ages.


Finally got there and registered ourselves. I had never seen so many players. Sure, I have gone to other scenario games, but there werent as many players as there were in this one. I then starting getting ready by taking out my gun and setting it up. I walked onto the field and it was HUGE!!


I had loads of fun and by the end of the night I was exhausted. We ate some wings and called it a night.The next morning we have to wake up earlier. We drove again for an hour and got there, but it was freezing cold and windy. We had decided not to play because of the wind. This is why, paintballs are traveling at 268 fps (feet per second) and with 25 mph winds the ball instead of going straight follows the path of the wind. In other words, you will almost never hit your target. Its pointless to go out and play so we left. We got breakfast returned back to the apartment and started packing.


We drove back in 7 hours and was exhausted from the whole trip. I just lazed around and fell asleep. I woke up pretty late today and havent done much. I have to clean my gun and my equipment from Saturday so as not to damage the internal components of the gun. 


Now Im just waiting for him to answer back. He gave me his number but he hasnt replied :/ I just want to hear from him and see how his day went. Well that recaps my weekend and why I couldnt post. Trying to write all of this in phone would have taken way to long and would have been frustrating with all the backspaces and errors. 


I love paintball!
