I need a new job.

I'm tired of working where I am.  I want an awesome job.  I want to take photographs for a living or design for a living.  I need my degree.  What kind of job should I have until I finish my degree?

Here's what I don't want to do:

• Sell things.
• Cook things.
• Deal with annoying managers.
• Interact with annoying people.
• Work under lame tight wads.

Is there a job that doesn't fit in that category?  I hope so.  

Thanks for reading this nonsense.

Mrs. USA falls for the second year in a row!

For the second year in a row, Miss USA falls in the Miss Universe pageant.  I just witnessed it.  Last year it was..

This year it's..

She went down AGAIN!  What is wrong!  Someone help them!

Good stuff.

Josh.

Very boring Sunday.

Yep.  Very boring.  It seems like all of my Sundays end up being boring.  Most of the time I just sit at home waiting for my girlfriend to finish her homework and she always finishes it at 11:00pm or so, which is much to late to go over there.  It kinda sucks.

On a good note, I just got done watching X Men 2 and it was very good.  Much better than the first one, for me.  A lot longer (seemingly) and much more action.  Good stuff.

Well, have a good one.

Josh.

Work, Work, Work.

I worked today.  All day long just like every Saturday ever.  You know, I really hate the enormous shift on Saturday.  Why in the world does my manager continue to give me the same 12:oopm - 10:00pm shift.  With all of the associates we have at the store, you think he could spread it to where we could all have a better shift on Saturday.  One of my other co-workers that work(ed) there stopped coming and I bet one of the reasons he stopped is because he got 11:00am - 10:00pm every Saturday.  Now, he's one of the better sales people there.  I'm not sure if that's one of the reasons he left, but it makes sense to me.  I mean, other than the fact that it kinda stinks working there.

But, yea.  I now have some Cheerwine, so I'm happy.  If you haven't had that soda before, please try it.  

The Derek Trucks Band is pretty awesome.  That's what I'm listening to right now.  They have a really awesome sound.  Kinda bluesy at times and tribal sounding at times.  It's pretty awesome.  Check them out.  

Thanks for reading my ramblings

Josh.

Good Ol' Day Off.

I had today off.  I didn't do too much the entire day other than go to eat lunch with my mom and sister and then we went to the used bookstore where I bought X Men 1&2.  I watched the first one.  It's ok, but I was kinda like, "is it really over.." when it ended.  I hope the second one is much better.

I'm in need of a gaming console.  At the used bookstore, they have the newer slimline PS2's in stock for 75 bucks used.  I'm seriously thinking about getting one.  Why not, right.  

Well, I might write more later.  I'm talking to my friend who's in Uruguay right now.  He's there on a school trip.  

Yep.

iPhone 3G unboxing.

I know what you're thinking.. "iPhone!!!!" That's gotta be what you're thinking.

The new iPhone 3G released a little over an hour ago my time (Eastern) and I'm sure there are a lot of happy owners. It's probably almost like bringing a baby home.

Here's an unboxing from Engadget.com




Exciting, I know.

Well, happy iPhoning.

An evening of tennis.

As the title states, I played tennis tonight.  It was pretty humid, so I feel that I probably lost 20lbs or more within the hour and 30 minutes that we played.  It was lots of fun, though.  I need to play daily so I can get back into shape.  I mean, I'm in a shape now, but it's almost too round.  

What I really need is an awesome new tennis racquet.  My friend Aman has a pretty awesome racquet that feels nice and light.  I would like to get one of those new Wilson k factor racquets.  I read all of the specs on them that make them cost as much as they do and it seems to be good enough.  

Something like this:

That looks about right.  Specs sound good.  Now all I need is the bread.  Or a sponsor.  Yes!

Thanks for readin'.

Today is..

My birthday.  I enjoy birthdays because they mean that I'm still alive.  It should be a good day.  I'm at school right now, but will be done by 2:30pm.  

Yeee Hawww!

Yahoo Logo Situation.

I posted earlier about a discovery I made about a Yahoo logo change.  I went to Yahoo.com to check my e-mail and found a new and very attractive logo at the top.  I was excited.  I went there just now only to discover that the old one is back but with an Independence Day theme thing going on.  This is weird..

Hopefully they'll end up with this.. 

More developments soon to follow.

Nadal Defeats Federer for First Wimbledon Title.

After a grueling 5 setter, Rafael Nadal wins his first Wimbledon.  He stopped Federer from winning his 6th straight Wimbledon Mens Singles Championship.  

Federer 4 4 7 7 7

Nadal    6 6 6 6 9

Pretty awesome.

Yahoo displays new logo.

Is it just me or is Yahoo getting purple and snazzy on us.

Before:

After:

I'm liking it a lot.  I enjoy a new logo every now and then.  One new logo that I don't like as much would have to be this:

New Animal Planet Logo

Old Animal Planet Logo

To me, the older animal planet logo was much better.  I think something else could have been done with this one.  I think they should have just tweaked the old one a bit or just did something a little better than the new one.

I enjoy logos.  Very soon, I'll be the maker of some of these logos.  

I hope everyone's have a good day.

Rainy day.

Today was a long one.  I worked 12pm - 10pm.  Definitely not one of my favorite shifts ever, but I'll take the money for it.  I sold loads of mess, though.

It sure enough rained like mad today.  It rained really heavily for a good 5-10 minutes.  I asked my customers that came in if they swam or rowed to get there.  They laughed.  I think it's finally calmed down with the raining.  

Well, I'm too tired to write much more, so I'll end now.

Goodnight World.

Josh.

Fireworks.

Tonight we went to the downtown fireworks.  They were pretty ok.  Compared to a lot of the bigger cities fireworks, they're not as extravagant, but they're still very nice.  It actually stormed before the fireworks started and it rained for about 45 minutes or so.  We were kind of afraid that they might not have them, but we hung around just in case.  We were rewarded.  

It's the weirdest thing how almost every year it tends to rain on Independence Day.  It's always like that here.  Is it like that anywhere else?  I supposed it's because of the summer time weather conditions.  A popup storm can happen on any given night.  I was very happy that they were able to shoot them off, though.

Speaking of fireworks.. I have this big ol' stash of fireworks upstairs in the spare bedroom's closet that have been up here since 2000 or 2001.  They really need to be shot off.  I've been working on them for a long time.  I think I'm saving the coolest thing in there for about 5 years from now.  Hopefully by then it will still work.  If it doesn't, I'm taking it back for a refund.. 10 years later.  

So, how was everyone's Independence Day festivities?

Thanks for reading and for being awesome like usual.

Josh.

Presentation.

The presentation was a "GREAT SUCCESS!"  If you're wondering why I quoted that, it's because Borat says that in movie.  Anywho, my group-mates and I worked on the presentation about solar energy for about 6 days counting 4 out of class.  We got it all ready and delivered it today and made the highest grade in the class of a 95.  We were all pretty excited.  We worked our backsides off to get everything down and ready to go.

Now the next big hurdle is the 17-page proposal that we have due on the 17th of this month.  I think since we have the presentation out of the way, the proposal should be cake.  My group members are some awesome people and they're doing a great job on everything.  

Tomorrow (well, now today) I have to work 10am - 6pm.  I'm loving (note sarcasm) the fact that I have to work on Independence Day.  I think this may be the first time I've ever had to work Independence Day.  I guess I better get used to it.  I'm sure there's tons of people that have to work it.  I am one of them.  But, luckily we close at 6pm tomorrow, so I won't miss any festivities, if there are any.  I know I'm going to shoot off some good ol' fireworks.  I've had the same bag of fireworks since 2001 or 2002.  It's nuts.  They last a long time around here.  I guess I just never wanted to shoot them all off because I didn't want to buy anymore.  Some of these that I have might be antiques by now.  Who knows.

Well, thanks for reading my useless nonsense.

Your pal,

Josh.

Yawn.

I'm pretty tired.  I worked for about 8 hours today and it kinda stank.  I only sold one bigger item and that's about it.  Just a few small things here and there.  Oh well.  

Tonight I'm working with my group-mates on the oral presentation that we have to deliver tomorrow.  That should be fun.  We're almost done with it.  I cannot wait until summer semester is over.  I need a break.  A break from everything.  Soon, I hope.  

I could use some ice cream.  I drove by Cold Stone and DQ on the way home and didn't stop.  How strong willed I am.  I really wouldn't have minded having some kinda strawberry sundae or something.  I think I need one.  It's not a want, it's a need.  I will perish  if I don't get one.  OH.. I see the light.  Ok, well maybe not that serious, but I'd like one.

Who else likes ice cream?  What's your favorite flavor or combination of stuff on top or whatever?
