Target The Red Dot.

Yesterday I was letting Vanna into the garage when I noticed this black ugly fucking spider next to the door. I then realized it was a black widow by the hourglass patterns on it’s body. I walked into the kitchen, grabbed the Raid from the cabinet underneath the sink, and started to hose the bitch (not Vanna) down like how the Ghostbusters did Vigo… After the mini spider battle, I blocked off the contaminated area and let it dry, opened up the garage a little bit to let air circulate, and then let Vanna back in the garage to sleep. Nice story, no pictures/videos, oh well.

PS.
The area where I sprayed and watched the spider crawl up and die. The spider’s body went missing this morning. Now, I can’t but help but feel imaginary spiders crawling around me.. Damnit.

Shame.

So I was walking downtown from the Plaza, all the way to the end to the Neonopolis. Anyways, I run into a Samoan guy and a white guy. Immediately the Samoan guy hugs me and starts talking Samoan, the white guy is just watching. I couldn’t understand, so he tried speaking English as well but with words he didn’t know he used Samoan words. He started asking questions of what’s my name, where I’m from, if I lived here in Las Vegas or visiting. I told him I was actually at the Plaza for a family thing and I was on my way to get my car and drop people off cause it was over. Anyways, he’s poor, a bum, as well as his friend too, cause he asked money for food and giving hand gestures of a putting a spoon in his mouth (the hungry hand-sign), and also the white guy said yeah “We’re both broke”. Gave the guys $5, and left.

Hours later I heard he came through the Plaza.. Did he see a money making opportunity when I told him about the “family thing”. I don’t know but family members did give him money, more money than I had. It was just the Samoan guy not the white guy this time. Seriously, one side of me feels bad and the other doesn’t. It’s my generous side that made me give him money because we have to help our own peoples, but my “other” side says, get a fucking job, stop making our people look bad. Oh well, I hope this doesn’t happen again, cause I hate running into poor Samoan people.

P ≤ T [OR] T > P

I got enrolled into the technical support training classes for Verizon phones. The classes will last 3 weeks and I now start back in the morning at 6:45am. I don’t know if being a tech support for phones is a step up the ladder and or a special skill learned. I’m thinking of the different paths as if playing role-playing games.


Looking at this picture above.. I’m going down the list (essentially up the ladder). I started in training, and is now in the green section “P”. After I’m done with classes, am I now on another level with possessing new skills?


OR, am I on the same level and just learning the new skills plus new paths to follow…

I mean either/or wouldn’t bother me, I prefer the new level (So I can have more pay, hahaha). But with every new skill learned makes way for more opportunities that can be unlocked.

I’m thinking of taking down the forums. It’s NOT because of the bots, although I do get raided every week. I added the forums because I was going through this whole community input idea, well, it ran it’s course and I’m pretty much over it. I really can’t say the forum failed because we had members and members did interact with one another. I’m ready to just stick to blogging, also with some goals about to be reached in the near future, blogging seems to be the best way to communicate. So for now, I’m not going to be moderating the forums, when I have enough time I’ll let you know when I’m deleting them. This is the Samoan-Ninja signing off.. LAtEZ.

Chapter: School-Less, But Not Hopeless.

If you imagine life as stepping stones, are you where you’re supposed to be at right now? This is the question I was asked last week by a complete stranger. He had a talent for reading people and when it came to me, he was on point. I won’t tell you exactly what he said but he told me everything I needed to hear (I sound like Morpheus telling Neo about the Oracle, lol.) Anyways, I then decided to have a look for myself of where I stand in life and where I’m going..

I’m actually content about the situation I’m in. The current job isn’t life demanding so even after work I’m still able to do somethings. I’ve started paying off some debt/bills, and when I’m debt-free, I’ll start saving money for school. Continuing school will be another chapter in my life so I’m not going to go into details about it. I know I’m not where I’m supposed to be in life, going back to the stepping stones, I’m about 4 steps back of where I’m supposed to be. When I’ve saved up enough money and I’m ready to go back to school, I feel as if that’ll be 2 steps I’ll be taking, and if I complete another goal I had in mind, that’s be another 2 steps ahead. Hopefully putting me of where I’m supposed to be. Until then, the only thing I’ll be doing is staying the course.

Writers Block? Or Just Plain Lazy?

Everytime I come home from work, I try and blog. But, the thing is when I start blogging, I’ll type a sentence or two, reword things, then end up erasing everything and starting all over. Then, when rewriting the blog, I’ll open a browser tab, start surfing the internet, start downloading music, play flash games, wikipedia something, myspace, facebook, email, wellsfargo/capital-one, fall asleep, and then wake up remembering that I was trying to write out a blog, and then say to myself “I’ll write it out tomorrow” (which I’ve doing for the last week or so..)

Tomorrow.
I’ll force myself to blog.

Down With The Sickness…

I’m really sick. Coughs, headaches, stuffy-nose, the whole works. It started on Monday and the worst was yesterday, I’m hoping by Sunday this cold/flu will be gone so I can enjoy a potluck at my house for Easter.

Today, I’ve graduated from training class and I’m now in OCP (Operation: Check Point). No joke, it’s really called “Operation: Check Point”. The difference now is I won’t be having 1 on 1 help. It’ll be 1 mentor for 5 reps, then the next week, 1 mentor for 10 reps, and then the week after I’ll be answering phones little or no supervision.

Next Friday (March 28th) is payday and me and acouple of ther co-wokers decided to go eat at some soul-food restaurant. Should be good from other peoples reviews about it and hopefully they will serve good portions.

Don’t expect and pictures or videos anytime soon, camera is broke. Long story short, I got 3 years extended warranty to protect my camera from damage, but last trip I took to BestBuy to fix my camera (lens wouldn’t retract) they said it might not be repaired because I didn’t buy the accidental warranty. Weak. I don’t know what I’ll be using as a replacement camera for everyday use but a Canon Rebel XSi is in my future. I’m seriously thinking about taking up photography. Iono.

Well, I’ll leave you guys with these interesting videos I’ve found. Well, actually Stumbled Upon. It’s a great plug-in that when you click the Stumble! button, it’ll take you to random websites of categories you can choose from. I use it a lot to randomly surf the web, keeps me on the internet longer that I’m supposed to be.

Anyways, these are typography videos, just view them they’re pretty cool:

There are more but I chose the ones I thought were good. Anyways, you can YouTube them as typography. This is the Samoan-Ninja signing off.. LAtEZ.

Background Check Cleared.

Sorry, should’ve updated you guys on this one. I actually start working tomorrow, the only thing that was holding me back was the background check, it got cleared today so I’m ready to start training tomorrow, hell yeah.

Since I start tomorrow, I guess it’s safe to say that I won’t be touching this website for awhile. I’d say give me about a month until things settle down. You know what I’m talking about, new job equals busy life, plus I have a few bets with people I have to knock out the way. My schedule is going to be packed.

Trust me, I’ll be back.
