I've become more irritable as of late and I don't like it at all. I am a pretty easy going guy and I was able to just disregard most things that annoyed me but now they make me a little upset. Not to the point where I get worked up about them, but to the point where I've realized that I have lost almost all hope in humanity.
Minor things like people wearing Bluetooth headsets, F-ers using their phones in movie theaters whether it is to text someone or to check the time while the movie is playing(its not like you are going to die if you stop texting for an hour and a half and time is not going to go any faster everytime you pull out your bright phone in a dark room), people cutting through parking lots and putting people that follow the lines in danger, know-it-alls, or people that get extremely close to you when you are in line somewhere and all you are wanting is a little personal space really grind my gears something fierce.
To a couple of major ones that bother me like taking advantage of misfortune/kindness/generosity, and hypocrisy (I know there's varied levels of hypocrisy and that we have all been hypocrites at one point or another, but i still find hypocrisy detestable). These I look down on with extreme disdain.
I don't know if its because of the way I was raised, but most of the things that annoy me are things that I thought would be common courtesy/respect to everyone and that everyone would have the decency follow to a certain degree but boy am I wrong. Such is life I guess.
On a brighter note, time for me to go play some Rock Band 2!

This week has gotten a lot better for me.
On Tuesday, I had to take my first quiz of the semester for my programming class and I got me an A. This A was unsexpected due to the fact that when I thought "quiz", I figured it would be 10 questions long. Wrong! This quiz might as well have been called a test for there was 40 questions and a flowchart problem. I was barely able to get an A on it which makes me glad I studied more than I should have.
Also on Tuesday, I found out that AT&T finally brought 3G here. Now I can surf the internet twice as fast on my phone while slacking off at work. Thanks AT&T.
The icing on the cake came on Wednesday when I finally got a copy of Rock Band 2. I played the shnarf out of it last night and will continue to do so today and tomorrow. I'll have to put it aside this weekend though so I can study for a test in my networking class.
Off to actually work now.

Somebody's got a case of the mondays...
...and that someone just happens to be me.
Today was the first Monday I have had to work in 4 weeks and don't know if I will be able to handle a full work week. Mind you, my day went by rather quickly since there has been a lot for me to do lately and I like that since staying busy makes my day go by faster but it just didn't feel right being there on a Monday.
Not only that, but I forgot that Rock Band 2 was released today and I didn't buy it after work for this reason. I could have played it for a good 3 hours before I had to read a couple of chapters for a quiz i have tomorrow but now i will have to settle on watching some anime. I should just put my shoes on and go buy it but I don't feel like leaving my place.
Now I'll just go watch me some anime and relax for a bit before i have to study.

How time flies
It has been about a month a half since I've posted anything on my blog and it wasn't by choice. My computer crapped out on me 2 days after my last blog which was rather annoying. I had to move out of my old place in that same week so i decided to just wait until i was settled at the new place before i started isolating the problem with the computer and fixing it. I finally get to having time to fix my computer and to make a long story short, I had it fixed bit I erase the software for the motherboard and didn't realize it so I just said f-it.
I had to go for about a month without a computer with nothing but my PS3 and phone to access the internet. I never thought I would miss something as much as i missed internet access during that ridiculously long month. Let me tell you, it blows monkey chunks trying to change your address to most places you have online accounts with when all you have is a PS3 remote to do it with.
I had interesting stories to share but I have forgotten all of them and i will post them as i remember them.
One cool thing that happened was that my brother and mom came and stayed at my one bedroom apartment for a few day at around my birthday and it was a blast. It had been long since I had spent that much time the most important members of my family and it sucked to see them go. They made my birthday and I hope we all get together again soon.
Another thing that happened, which freaked me out, was Sophie escaping from the apartment.
Two weekends ago, I decided to open up all the windows since it was cool that morning. I figured Sophie would love it since she would get to smell the outside instead of just gazing at it. I went about my business for about an hour and I don't know what made me wonder where she was but I started looking for her and it was weird because I couldnt find her anywhere. I go to check the window perch in my room and I noticed the screen had been pushed open and Sophie had escaped. I put on some shoes and started looking for her and thankully she was nearby but when I called her name, all she did was look at me. When i came close, she started running away for i am sure she knew fully well that what she had done was a huge no-no. I finally caught her and i don't think I will be opening my bedroom window from now on.
