Dang another year went by and it went FAST!  Seems like it was only yesterday that I made my last entry.  Wonder if anybody still reads this anymore?  Alright time to recap since my last entry....

1) On the good side, I finally got myself out of "Intern" status and am working full time now.  The bad side is it's a 12 1/2 hour night shift for three days.  Still can't really say no to it when it promises to double your salary, but it's pretty painful working that kinda shift.  Although I am more of a morning person, I think I'm starting to get used to this vampire life.  Only thing I hate dealing with is the fucking construction noise outside during the daytime.  I can't friggin believe they chose this summer to start renovating the entire area....rebuilding all the parks and sidewalks and shit.  It gets to the point where my entire apartment is vibrating from the bulldozers.

2) Set myself up with 3 goals this year:

a) Finish paying off my student loan (already half way there)

b) Get my CCNA certification

c) Get a day shift job hopefully with a higher pay!  =)

3) Me and Annie celebrated our 3 years together!  Time sure flies by.  Anyways I've updated the profile pic since I'm sure ya'll probably sick of seeing the old one for the past 2 years already.  =P

Politics: Well Bush got re-elected again which was a no brainer especially when you only got two idiots running for the spot.  Doesn't take rocket science to figure out that people are more comfortable with the idiot they are familiar with.  That's what sucks about a two party system and I believe the Simpsons have already touched on this subject with the "Citizen Kang" episode.  LOL

Religion: Tis a sad year that we lost one of the most influential person.  Pope John Paul II is now succeeded by Pope Benedict XVI.  I know it's not easy to select a new pope as the candidate needs 2/3 of the votes, but did they need to elect somebody 78 years old?  I'm already hearing from other folks about how soon these cardinals will need to get together again......

Although I don't buy it, but here's an interesting read:

International:  I'm sure ya'll heard about how the Japanese's history textbook was changed to look like China invited them over during World War II and how they actually did them a favor by trying to take control.  WTF?  As much as I love the Japanese folks and culture, but that's pretty fucked up.  Did they actually think they could get away with that and not expect any retaliation?  They'll probably need some of these after China's through with them....

Mmmm....this looks yummy....

Alright I think that's about wraps it.  I'll smell ya folks next year.  =)

Well time for a new entry again.  What? You thought I was joking when I said I write an entry every 3 months??  Hehe j/k.  I didn't have much to write anyways.  All I've been doing lately is work, sleep and eat.  Rinse and repeat....that's the story of my life.

Anyhow, I've been noticing a trend these days.  Roughly three weeks ago, my boss passed by my desk during lunchtime.  That day I got Jap food, actually a chicken teriyaki combo and he said,

"Stan, you're always making me hungry.  Do you know you eat like a King?" 

Well of course I didn't think much of it until yesterday when I went eating wit a bunch of co-workers in my department.  One of them said...

"You know, Stan doesn't fuck around when it comes to food.  He knows how to eat well."

LOL...is it me or do I really eat that well?

Well afterwards I went here hoping they can help me find something that I've been searching all my life.

And of course, I can't leave this out.......

They will ensure your safety in SHIT.....  You just can't have a better policy than that.
