Cephiros, The One Winged Angel

So, I’m sorry I’ve haven’t been posting on my blog. Believe it or not I’ve been pretty busy with sorta of a social life. How about we rewind and such and I’ll tell you the full story, trust me… of course you trust me.

Tuesday, July 24th - Hung out with Eileen (Bob’s GF), Bob, and Josh. Played some Guitar Hero II, watched some bad movie and watched some Venture Bros and such. I stayed the night there.

Wednesday, July 25th - Hung out with all three of them again until Josh had work. We had some booze in our empty Viso bottles and got some juice to mix it up. Walking around Downtown Portland and we were getting pretty wasted. Went back to the Lloyd Center and Eileen got some lunch while Bob and I rocked the arrow smash of ITG. I did well for being under the influence. Got some more Vodka. Got wasted and made some tentative plans with my friend Christa.

Thursday, July 26th - Fucking lazy this day. Watched some TV, cleaned up a little in the apartment and got my haircut to its new short style.

Friday, July 27th - Had testing at this temp agency. It appears I can do 9200 KPH on the 10 key. Passed all of my tests and such. Later that day, Christa and I met up. Got some food at Subway. Back to her apt, hung out. Went to this strip club/bar and watched some cute strippers. The best one being Jasmine, our new stripper friend. We talked to her for.. I dunno about 1/2 hour. Walked up to Blockbuster, Got Leon the professional and Life is Beautiful. Got some pizza and beer at the Safeway. Watched the movies, had some pizza, drank some beer, and a good time was had. Discovered I suck at Dirge of Cerberus.  We talked and such.. pretty much sums up that day.

Saturday, July 28th - Christa and I headed over to the 24 hour Hotcake House. I never been there before but always heard about it and of course as she stated, it’s a hot spot of Portland. Headed to the Avalon Wunderland and played some video games. All kinds, DDR, Dance Manix, pinball, shooters, etc. After that, we parted ways at 39th and Powell.  It was a fun weekend and I’m glad I have a new friend that is pretty cool.

Tuesday, July 31st - Job interview in North Portland. Never been there before and I got lost. I finally made it and at the time I thought the interview went very well. Later that day I was hanging out with Bob, then eventually Josh and Eileen.. oh and one of her friends who I name I seem to have forgotten. It was discovered that I got the job I interviewed for earlier that day. So beers was purchased and merryment ensued. I got pretty smashed but did not wake up with a hangover which is good.

Wednesday, August 1st -  Hung out with the friends, around downtown and such. Bob and Eileen drove me home so I could let them borrow my Season 3 & 4 of Queers as Folk. It is a really good series. That’s about it, Played some Odin Sphere and advanced the story a little bit more.

Thursday, August 2nd - Hung out with Summer for late morning to a little bit in the afternoon. At lunch at a Chinese place that was pretty good.  Walked to the Goodwill and looked around there for a bit and then head to to a Starbucks and hung out. Met and talked with this Vet from the Iraq and such. Then we head out. She gets a thumbs up for digging my new style and looking cute. Yes, I said it, don’t hit me!

So, tomorrow is when I start my new job, 8:30am. Working until 3pm I think, but not sure. I have no concrete plans for the weekend but I’ll see what I can do! Replied to a couple Craigslist ads for women seeking men. Been nearly a year since Becky and I broke up. I’m feeling it is time to least gain new friends, casually date, but of course I’m not ready nor want to jump head first into a long term relationship.  Haven’t gotten any replies yet but I was thinking about making my own post too after I get some new pictures taken.

My friend Amy seems to think I need to smile more often. So overall, quality of life has gone up. Diet is working out great. Losing weight and such. More energy and more confidence and a fuck you attitude if people don’t like who I am. I’m sorry for all those LJ users since I have a Wordpress plugin posts to my LJ but I don’t remember how to cut.

So, today I had trouble getting up because I wasn’t feeling well but I needed to head to PCC Sylvania because I needed to do paperwork for my General Assistant position. I’ll be working 10 hours a week at 8.30 per hour. Not the best paying job out there but worth the experience. I could not find my Social Security card before I went.

Also, after turning in what I could, I went to the Pioneer Square mall and was talking to some T-mobile dealers and one of them was really nice but the other one was pressuring me into a sale and I did not like it.  So, instead of trying to get me go with T-mobile, they have pushed me away from them forever. So, if you’re in the bottom floor the Pioneer Square Mall in Portland, OR, nearby the Apple Store on the way to the food court, do not get your T-mobile service from them. Boycott them to hell and back.

Went to the Lloyd Center and played some In The Groove Doubles, Some of the my own songs I’ve loaded up on my mere 32 megabyte flash drive. I did pretty well and while talking to somewhere, I spotted Seumas and Ben while they were to get some Jamba Juice before movie night at Taxus’ house.

So I get home, organize some of the drawers in my room and found my Social Security Card and I will drop that by the Student Government office on Tuesday.  I am pretty glad I got this job even if doesn’t pay well since its not a fucking call center job.

Logged on to World of Warcraft after I got home because I did not know I was confirmed for Karazhan raid today and I was out running errands among other things. I finished editing a video of the Romulo & Julianne. Chatted a bit with my friend Sylja and she called me because we discovered her firewall was blocking the images for some reason. She has moved down south and I wish the best for her. I worry for her cause she is alot like me and hasn’t gotten hurt in the past.

So, the Domestic Partnerships bill has passed the Oregon House and Senate and should be signed into law and become effective on January 1st, 2008. That’s my bit quick news of Oregon politics.

I played some NES roms tonight and I played and beat Jaws. I fail to see how collecting sea shells, starfish, killing jellyfish and stingrays lead to the ultimate goal of defeating Jaws.  However, I did defeat the mother fucker and the world is safe once more. More info about my life changes in the next entry since I know this was is way too long.

Okay, today was the day for the group interview for ASPCC. That’s student government for most of you. I was applying and most interested in Managing Director of Finance. I got up, showered, got dressed and I left the house 1pm and the interview was at 3pm. I got off the Bus Line 72 and tried to catch Bus line 9. I missed that and eventually ended up 10 minutes late to the interview. Hopefully, that won’t hurt me too much. I feel that I answered all the questions to the best of my ability and I really feel that I might get the position. One of the question what position you were most interested and no one on Friday’s group interview expressed Managing Director of Finance. I don’t know how Thursday interview went but we can always hope.

Well, I decided to go to Tilt again and test out custom songs on the R21 enabled In The Groove Machine. As always, I was playing doubles. Everyone was going well for most of the evening. Except, I was playing a song and near the end of the song, some black guy got up on the right pad and fucked me up and I failed the song. I fucking pushed him and yelled at him alot. Telling him he owned me a dollar and he called me the N word like 15 times. Basically, I was upset that he wasn’t very considerate when I was playing the game. I’m not going to fuck with the joystick if you playing a fighting game, then don’t get on the fucking pad. I explained this to his friend and he gave me a dollar in tokens and we shook hands. Even after I calmed down, he was still yelling at me. He said something about kicking my ass once I left the mall.

So, pretty much, don’t fuck with me when I play DDR/ITG, don’t get my angry, you don’t want me angry.

So, today after my speech class. I saw this display of t-shirts that peaked my interest in the small break between my classes but I did not have enough time to give it my full attention until after class. Each t-shirt was colored for the different types of violence that was suffered by the victim. Domestic abuse, rape, sexual molestation and incest, death, and such. Each of them had message either from the victim or the victim’s family/friends. This were from men and women. They were speaking out against their attacker and staying strong.

This message made me sad, tearful but amazed at their strength. However, one guy along with a girl were looking at the t-shirts and asked what this was about and the girl asked the same. Then the guy read the t-shirt of a woman who suffered a domestically violent relationship and was puring out her feelings. Guess what the guy did… the motherfucker laughed while reading it and totally spit in the face of that victim.

I think they realized they were in the minority because they took off their name tags from the Honor Student reception that was held in the College Center. I really should have said something but I stood there quiet and said nothing. I feel really ashamed I did nothing there. I have one thing to say to them.

Fuck you fucking asshole. You want to spit in the faces of these victims and not show them any empathy or compassion then you can fucking die. People like you make the world worse. If I ever see you again and you do something like this then I’m going to fucking bitch slap you. I only wish I could have as much strength as these people who revealed their souls to us.

I decided to browse the local news and I found this in the articles for National News. Basically, this father wants to sue the City for $20k because he said his sons were disturbed after seeing a Lesbian related book. This is very bigoted against the queer/gay community. It should be noted that it contained no pornography whatsoever. This is just really fucked up when people try to gain money and get people fired because they don’t agree with this book being in the library. Oh, in addition, maybe you don’t agree, but hello, this is a first amendment issue. Oh yea, let’s not forget that he is going to use this church and religion for his “crusade”. One more thing, one doesn’t just happen upon a gay related book while looking for military academies.

Overall, this guy is a nut job. Stamped and approved.

First think I would like to state in my blog before I delve into my personal life is that I feel bad and wish the best for the the families of those who had a family/friend injured or killed in todays Virginia Tech Shooting. It has been stated that this is the deadliest shooting in Modern US history according to this news article. However, I like to state this is very tragic and time is needed for the victims and their friends and family. This horrible event is not and should not be used for 2nd amendment arguments and shouldn’t be used as a political scapegoat for videos game violence and other media. Of course, that’s just my opinion.

Today, I got up late as usually. I really hate this fucked sleeping schedule I have. I really need to get a job. Yesterday, I looked at possible apartments that Seumas and I could move into that would be compromise between him being close to work and off the MAX line and me for somewhat easy access to school. I read the some for Holocaust class and wrote up a one page analysis for the class.
