Thoughts on Working

Working at Target now. It is like Costco minus 1000 rude New Jersey-ans. Granted there are still a lot of people who come to the store they seem less rude than the Costco crowd. What I figured out, in many hours of pondering in the parking lot, is that people pay for a membership to Costco and I guess because of that fact they feel almost entitled to be rude A-holes. Target has no membership fee so I guess people are more cordial. What it comes down to is how far away from the cart corral's people leave carts. Costco the average was about a football field length, while Target is usually only a couple of yards. Much appreciated >.< Another difference between the two is that Costco is populated almost completely by retired folk. At Target I see more younger people, people my age, who could almost be my friends. Then I remember I don't have friends, haha. I am learning to be a cashier tomorrow, so that is pretty exciting. After tomorrow I have two days off. Also excite. Got to enjoy the little things. Sorry if this sounded a tad whiny, I hate the world today.

Thoughts on...oh I don't even know

I had an extremely uneventful and I am tired. I have nothing to say...and just to make it worse, I picked a grimy and pretty much terrible song. GWAR for life.

Thoughts on the "Royal Wedding"

It was not that long ago...TRY TO REMEMBER!

Hokay...so I am going to rant now and I shall place my cross-hairs on this whole royal wedding thing we have all heard so much about. My first (and I think strongest point) is Why does anybody care about it? Especially people here in America. Last I checked we fought a revolutionary war just to get away from those damn British monarchs and now everyone here is shivering with excitement over watching their wedding on TV, YouTube and god knows where else. I am pretty sure that God gives websites and TV channels the birthright to air the Wedding. Not every common TV channel can air the royal wedding. Sorry sidetracked by sarcasm...Back to the point. We live in America and since the Monarchs in Britain are more or less all for show, why do we even care. All they are over-hyped movies stars just with WAY more money and more fans. Give it a year or so and I bet they will have their own reality TV show and the Princess will have her own perfume line.

Beyond the question of why we care about the British Monarchy is the question of why the British Monarchy still exists. I am by no means an expert in European History (I opted for AP Biology instead DUH), but I know a bit about the History of our country, the History of the world and A fair bit about WWII. It was my recollection that their was a pretty massive uprising against the Monarchical system of government, and for good reason. When a mass of very poor angry people are ruled by a small group of extremely rich elitists, well, people get beheaded. French, Russia and USA all overthrow or in our case rebelled against are Monarch rulers and it was always bloody. From those rebellions were born more effective and fair systems of government. The United Kingdom has a perfectly good system of government. They just decided to keep the monarchs around for whatever reason. How could you not want to idolize the universal symbol for tyranny, oppression and horrendous financial imbalance. I am sure others exist but to my knowledge the U.K. and Suadi Arabia are the only countrys that still have kings and queens, so that is good I suppose. My mom said they are good Monarchs now and that they do a whole lot of good charity work. I am guessing if Willy and Kate eloped and got married in a tiny chapel alone and donated all the wedding money to charity, hungry people all over the world could be eating wonderfully, I imagine they could even afford cake.

The sun never sets on the telecast of the Royal Wedding...
Not the most original, but it fit so well, had to be done.

Thoughts on Some Pretty Cool Stuff

So the big viewer push for the livestream show was tonight and I must say it was pretty darn amazing. We are still an "unverified" livestream channel so we have a 50 viewer limit on our show and darn if we didn't reach that limit. Among other accomplishments Crispin and I both completed the cinnamon challenge, and Crispin ate some 7 huge night crawlers, chugged a gallon of milk, and god knows what else. We also tried to sneak in some discussion and show some stuff, but the people watching were pretty adamant about watching Crispin gorge himself. We are both super stoaked about everyone coming to watch but really hope that in the future people will come to watch other not gross food eating challenges. The hard part is going to be coming up with ideas. As always if you have any please comment!

I also had wonderful orientation at Target today. Surprisingly, the usual ridiculous orientation videos were not all that bad. Most of the time they basically consist of saying "It is bad to curse at and blow of customers", "don't steal from us" and "throwing trash on the ground is bad". These videos were actually pretty darn good, like set out good guidelines on how to approach people and stuff. Not that it really matters though since I am going to be rockin the carts. When the lady mentioned training me to drive the Cart Puller vehicle thing I almost peed. While working at Costco I actually had dreams about a motorized cart puller. My dream has come true...I love you Target!

Also did I mention the blog has over 1000 page views??!?! I am so freaking Internet famous it is awesome. Owe it all to you guys and gals who read my stupid blog. Thanks a bunch!

Good song...Sadly this band changed their style after this.

Thoughts on Being Sick

I was so very sick today. I have not been sick for like a year, until today. I have no idea what caused it, but I suspect it had to do with the gratuitous amounts of Easter candy that I consumed. I do not know if there is such a thing as candy poisoning, and why I have never gotten it before today. Either way I threw up a bunch and spent all day in bed. I did download Gimp (horrible name I know), which is a sweet open source photoshop program. I have been teaching myself to use it and made a pretty sweet title bar for the Livestream channel. My plan is to re-design the whole blog myself, making it super custom and "artsy". Maybe tomorrow after work...cause my Target training date got moved to tomorrow. Which is way better then May 6th. Time to make the money.

Here is a depressing song with a girl singer. I don't have many of these...
