Happy Friday...
I am about to complete my first hour of work!! WOHOO. This shouldn't really matter but at 5am time seems to slooooow wayyyy down!! That is right, today I started work at 5am..which is actually 8am back east, so I guess I am on time. Any way, why am I here soo damn early? Well I have to make up my hours for today if I want to get paid the big bucks. Last Friday, I had a doc appointment at 3pm, so that day I also came in early. I left around 2pm and go to the doc's office 15mins early. As I went to go sign in, the lady at the front desk told me that my doc left early today. "Did you not get our vm message?" "No" I said. "Oh well we called 818....(my house phone) and is the 310...still a valid number?" Ummmm, no that number hasn't been used for about 5 years, my old work number. Good job guys!! So I had to reschedule for this Friday at 3pm. Hence my 5am start time. I can not afford to not get paid for each hour that I am here. I wouldn't worry as much, except for the fact that the Hawaii trip is a few months away and I do not have enough saved for the two of us. I figured I need to save a certain amount from each paycheck to hit the total amount of money that we need. But considering we have the hotel booked and waiting for the airplane tickets to go down we should be good to go. I am just scared about the "free" money that we need for food and activities. Maybe we can just chill on the beach and take in the sites....but I have a feeling we will be going around the island for most of our free time. Speaking of Hawaii, I have to start writing my speech for my toast. I am not really sure what to say. I want to go for the tear effect, meaning that I want my speech to induce tears in the crowd. I just do not know how to do this. I may have to do some soul searching and meditation to find some good points and views about this couple. But I have no doubts that I will. These two are made for each other.
A few days ago, I posted a picture of myself in my car right before work. It was me saying something like "what should I have for lunch" or some junk like that. If you see closely I got a new hair cut. I have wanted a new cut for a while but I didn't know what to do. On mother's day, d and I went to go visit her parents and have lunch with them. During lunch we sat next to this other couple, some guy that was a few years younger than myself. Any way, he had this hair cut that I thought was really cool. It was a Mohawk, but it wasn't. The sides were shaved and faded and in the back a small strip on each side of the head was shaved and faded. The rest of the head was long and spikey. Granted there was no gel on his head, but you could tell the style. THIS IS WHAT I WANTED!!! And knowing me, I'll obsess over it until i get it. Well, I didn't go balls out as I usually would have. I did some research. Looked up pictures from other people that had a common style. Found a picture I liked that had the style I wanted. I saved it to my phone for further reference. After D and I had dinner we went off to get my hair cut. My dad suggested going to his place because it was cheap and because they did good work. He said go to his stylist, Linda, or some other guy, but stay away from this girl named Lynn. Dad said that he had Lynn and she messed up his hair. From then on He would only see Linda or that other guy. With that knowledge in hand we both went to the hair place. It was close to closing about an hour or so before, so no one was really there. There was one guy working on a customer and so I was assigned to the only other person there. I asked for her name, she said lyn or linda. I was like ok, Linda, nice. I sat down and showed her the pictured I d/led earlier to my phone. She said, ok ok, i know what to do. As she was cutting, D was there overseeing some of it. When "L" was cutting the back of my head, my girl stepped in and suggested to cut my hair a certain way. Well, "L" said ok ok, but totally blew off D. After "L" was done and put gel in my hair, it looked ok, but not what I wanted. My hair was somewhat long to begin with and "L" trimmed the top to get the hair to fall in a Mohawk kind of way. The sides, she kind of faded and the back she left long yet trimmed. However, to complete the look that I wanted the bottom of my hair should have been long, but "L" cleaned it up and evened out the bottom of my hair. I reluctantly paid her and we were on our way. I was not too happy with what she did, but D assured me it looked good. It was just disappointing to have a hair style that you want but get something similar yet different. D, as she always does to calm the hulk down, said let it grow out and we'll go to some other person. I love her. She knows how to calm me down. So I was content for a few days. D had to leave for the weekend since she had school, and my relatives had come back from their trip and were staying with us until that Sunday. So of course, D had to leave since we are not engaged and it wouldn't be right to have her here with my when my relatives were at my house. Ok so, the relatives left, and I had the house to myself. That is when it was time to try this cut on my own. I had been obsessing over cutting my hair ever since the first cut when wrong. So I cut my hair, faded the sides and cut the strips on the back and left the rest of the hair the way it was. Well it looks good. To me anyways it looks good. I told D this is just a mold, to see if it will look good on me. It does. So now, I have to wait for the rest of my hair to get longer so as to complete the look. Right now it is a little short in the back but soon, I will finally have the style that I have been waiting for.
This weekend will be crazy. We have a bday party to go to on Sat and then a graduation party that night. Sunday we are chilling I hope.
My dear Jessica, my friend from TN. She showed me a lot of stuff when I was there and I was really grateful for that. Well, this Sat is her wedding day, and even though I can not be there for her, I just wanted to say Congrats and my prayers go out to you on your special day!! Much love!!!
Before I came to work, I stopped by 7-11 to get some coffee and a snack. Well I am almost done with my 24oz coffee. But what they had there were little shots of caffeine or something like that. I put two of those things in my coffee. I think I am now feeling it. I hope I feel it. I need to stay awake!!!
Ok that should be it for now!!!
ONE!!!

Its Friday!!!
Hmm ok. Today is Friday thank goodness. It has been one of those crazy weeks, or has it? I can not really tell. But a lot of stuff has happened. I will randomly jot down what I remember for this week.
First and foremost, I switched my phone back to the BB Storm. But before I did, I upgraded the OS to .148 which is the newest leak. This means it is not an official Verizon upgrade, but it works for my phone. The problem with the previous OS that I was having was the screen lock. When you engaged the screen lock, it should lock the screen. And pushing one button will unlock the screen for you to use the phone. In my case with version .132 any of the buttons unlocked the phone. You can image why this is not good. In my pocket anything could set the screen to unlock and push a bunch of buttons. The new OS fixes this issue thank goodness!! I am happy with the phone for the moment. Verizon is coming out with the Tour, which is a hybrid of the Curve/Bold all for Verizon. It should come out this July, but I have to wait till next year since that is when my contract is up and I dont care to purchase full price for this phone at the moment. But anything can happen.
Last week, my relatives arrived from the PI. My girl and I met them at the airport to pick up their luggage. They arrived from the PI and that same day left for LV. Must be the life. They came back from Vegas this Wed and today my parents and the relatives left for Seatle. They are going on a 7 day cruise to Alaska. Must be nice. I wish I could go with them. Not to see Alaska since I already went, but just to get out of the city.
Last night my cousin came to stay with us with his wife and 2 kids. They came from Sac town and are staying in the house for a day. They are leaving Sat to go back home to Cleavland. At least my girl is coming back tonight. That will be fun. I wont be alone for a while. I think I am spoiled like that.
Yesterday at work, I finally set up dual monitors for my computer. It was a pain because I forgot to install the drivers for the vid card. But once I did, I was golden. I have 2 19" WFP monitors. I am loving life. I just need to have access to the full net and I will be high as a kite. I also have room for another monitor if I find a good one on sale. I also hooked up my USB mini Fridge that I got from a white elephant exchange this past xmas. It does keep my drink(s) cold but not that cold. But it works so I am happy. It also has a blue LED when you open the door.

My Fridge !! YAY!!

Randomness
This entry is going to be a lot of randomness since I can not really focus on one thing at once today.
I have been really tired these past few days. I would go to bed around 11pm and wake up at 5am to get ready for work. Throughout the night I would use the restroom since I drink more than a gallon of water a day and my body wants to get rid of it at night. I think my body is nocturnal. But this is really affecting me when I am at work. I get to work and I will start to get tired and fall asleep. On top of that, I sit within eyesight of the HR person. So already caught me using my cell phone during work. She had to ask my boss to remind me that "using personal cell phones during work is prohibited." Crap..oh well. My regular cup of coffee is not doing the trick. Maybe I should stop drinking at night, but now that it has gotten hot I find myself drinking more water! blah. I will have to find something to change because I really want to sleep and wake up refreshed like most people do.
For the past few months I have been trying to save up money for our trip to HI. Right now I have enough to cover the hotel room for the several days that we will be there. When I mention we, I mean my girl and I. I am not making as much as I would like to make, but working over time has helped out a bit. I know this stress is due to my habit of spending money on things I do not really need but want. I.E. my growing watch collection that I will post later. I always find a way to put some money aside for the trip, get a new watch, and pay my bills. Then something always comes up where I have to pull money from my savings account, i.e. trip account, and use that money to pay off other things. I really need to stop buying things. I just can not help it. But hopefully I can save enough since the trip is coming up in Sept. I know for this coming paycheck I have a good few hours of over time that I have clocked. Maybe this will help in my savings. I also send this money to my online account where I do not see the money until I really need it. This way I don't see it and while it is in this account the money is gaining interest.
I am feeling some pressure to hurry up and get engaged and get married. I want to but for financial reasons as stated above, I cant do it. From previous run ins with the money police I had to start over and start saving. I find it hard for me to do. Please see above paragraph for reasons why. I love her and want to marry her, but I want to get settled in. I still am at home and to move out is not an option. Maybe after I come back from the HI trip. I just need to win the lottery. I want to live comfortably and not have to worry where my money will go and to stop living from paycheck to paycheck. It is very frustrating. Sometimes this is all I can think about. This could a reason why I can not sleep. I do not know. All I know is that I have a goal or two or three that I want to get to but my inabilities to save are hindering my path. I need help.
As for the hole in my pocket, my watch collection has grown to include over 15 watches. That is impressive. This list should include ones that I have had for a long time but I have lost them in the madness that I call my room. I have them displayed on my dresser, hanging on a make shift wire shelf. I will post pictures of this later in another entry. As for my other passion(s) I have not really purchased any real tech or gadgets lately. What is wrong with me? I think I just switched focus from gadgets to watches. Every day I surf through my favorite gadget sites but nothing really comes out at me as something that I need or want. I am usually a first generation type of person, i.e. waiting in line for the Storm on its release day or paying $700 for a Moto Razor unlocked phone just to have it before Motorola actually released it to a carrier on US soil. I enjoyed a good 3 months of individuality with the razor. Of course this did not last because within those 3 months I had already moved on to about 1 or 2 more new phones. That is just who I am. I can not settle down with one item. Or at least that is how it was. My search is about finding that one item which will fulfill the different aspects of my life. For example, I have been using the bb curve for a good 4+ months. I am wanting to switch back to the Storm just because it is somewhat "newish" As for my watch, Ive been wearing my Seiko Divers watch, but there is another one that is coming to replace this one. It is the Seiko Black Monster. It is another divers watch. But these are usually my constant items. If they change they change. But I hope they will not change and I can stop obsessing over these items. I literally had an internal debate on which watch I should wear all the time. My mindset is I want that one watch to rule them all. I was torn between 2 watches. Even after asking my girl which one she liked I still had this debate with myself. I sat on my bed with both watches in my hand for a good 20+ mins. I finally decided on the Seiko watch. And I have been wearing it ever since. Since my watch fetish and phone fetish seems to have dwindled down, I might focus on saving money and make it my new obsession. Who knows what will happen.

Rylee
So yesterday my girl came to visit me. However she brought a little friend in a form of a puppy named Rylee. She received rylee from a neighbor while she was living in Pomona. So D had rylee for about a week or so. She was telling me how rylee needed a lot of attention because she was a puppy and like all puppies they need love and attention. However, since D was moving back home with her parents, she was not able to keep rylee at her place. She asked her cousins, friends, and of course myself, but we are not ready for another dog. Yesterday during work, I caught my first glimpse of Rylee. She was small with stubby legs and long fur. I let her lick my fingers and petted her before it was time for me to go back to work. When I came home, there was D and Rylee. I spent most of my free time with her. Took her to the backyard and played with her. When I brought her inside, she went crazy as most puppies do with pent up energy. She was running back and forth from my room to the other room and back. The sad part comes when we have to take her back to her original owners. We, her and I, just were not ready for a puppy. This especially since we live at home with our parents. We said our goodbyes and promised to visit. I know she will find a good family. Today however I feel sad. Even though I spent a half a day with her, I miss her. I just can not imagine what D is going through. We will get another dog. It is just a matter of when. For Rylee, I wish you the best. I love you.
