Current Music: LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE by JET
Its so hard to believe that October has come and gone. Halloween is over, and here we are getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I doubt that I will ever be ready. There still is the let down of not geeting invited to Las Vegas. Although I should not be mean, but the fact that I just found out that my brother can't go, is somewhat of a sigh of relief. His girlfriend, Lauren, can't get the time off work therefore I am hoping the two of them will stay here in Indianapolis for Thanksgiving. Come October 2nd, I fiannly took down all my halloween decorations for the most part. I still have several inside my apartment, but at least the ones outside have been taken down and packed up. I thought I did such a great job on them I should have won something from my leasing office, but after I took them down and replaced them with my Thanksgiving ones, the hallweay sure did seem bare. The other night I went out to blockbuster and rented the movie ROMPER STOMPERS. Which is a reminder of my past. I was quite disapointed, all they had was the DVD version and the video kept cutting in and out. It seems something is very wrong with my DVD player. I cant watch movies that I have rented, but yet if I buy it brand new at the store, it works fine. Except two that I really like that I bought now also cut in and out on the video. Therefore not only did I e-mail my dad my christmas list for 2004, and stating that I wanted a new computer, since this one can barely do anything but check e-mails, somewebsites and IM people. I tell you its geeting a little old, for the fact that I cant even pull up the most basic stuff and takes me like forever to download files people send me that should only take a few seconds at the top. I keep begging my mom to dig through our storage unit as to look for some lost VHS tapes, in hopes on of them is the movie ROMPER STOMPERS that I bought the after watching it with some straight-edge vegans of mine at the time. I cant remember how I ended up at one of their apartments, but it may have been that we did some fur protests here in the area, and afterwards went up to BroadRipple grabbed some stuff to eat at The Good Earth, and hung out on the bridge for awhile. We got bored and someone suggested swimming, therefore one of the people that were involved in the protest had a free apartment with swimming pool. Therefore we all went back to the apartment and played Marco Polo in the pool, until we all got tired and then went back up to the apartment, dried off and started watching the movie ROMPER STOMPERS. Its so funny how those memories stick with you. I enjoyed that time so much that I found the movie to buy and got it. I have yet to find it since the move, so I hoping that my mom has it with several other stuff that was left at our house when she moved out. Although she says that I have way too many tapes and I need to trade out with her. Another thing my mom wont understand. My love for the entertainment and music field. Most of all my tapes I use as reference, or library purposes. and I need all that I can. Who knows one day that might lead into a job. At least she hasnt complained about my CD's which I am also tripping over, but that ok, I would rather trip over them, than for me not to have them at all. But its so stupid, because everytime the talk about jobs comes up with my mom and I usually deal with something like MailBoxes Etc, or the post office. Nothing about working where I know something about. as I was in Osco the other day and the lady that works there was asking me if I missed the movie theater. and it was like NO ! I miss working at a movie theather and if the right one came along, would love to work there or at least part time, even volunteer. Just to be in the whole entertainment field. But would never ever go back to the one that I worked for, which is AMC. But hey what can I say, its already November 9th, and just two days ago fiannly turned over my calendar from October to Novemebr, where is the time going. and the scary part is, I am keeping busy, extremely busy. But not working and it going by even faster. I am afraid when I do get a job, if time is going as fast as it now, how much faster will go then, and how much will I miss. Thats the one benefit of not having a job. I never got to do anything. I never got to go to church, well that motion was not yet desired. I never spent holidays with family. and I was always too tired to really do anything with friends. and then when I did get a day off where I could be with friends, all of them had to work. It seems like our schedules never went together. When they were not working I was, and when I wasn't they were. and then like the holidays, you seem to do so much to plan for them, decorate, have parties, and actually look foward to them and then before you know it, its all one big flash. The actuall day ends and you sit back and look at everything and you kind of go "What just happended". I know that happens to me all the time, that is why I have to take pictures of everything and when I am not doing that, I am video taping. at least then when its done and over with, you can sit back and look at the pictures and watch the video, and atleast relish in the all the work you did, just a little bit longer. and the scary thing is that no matter what needs to be done, what doesnt need to be done and no matter how hard we try, the clock doesnt stop ticking, just keeps going. Therefore I am just as guilty at this as anyone, but I am no longer going to make those mistakes. Yes I am still extremely upset and hurt by my friend that never once called me or helped me celebrate halloween as promised. But I sent her a nice, but stern letter. Stating that the pain will never go away, but would like to remain friends especially with Thanksgiving so quickly appoaching us. and just give it a few more weeks in hopes that we can pick up there. I just need some time away and think, and forget the pain. As well as I just found the most perfect Thanksgiving card for my grandmother, and even though she really mad me upset, I sent her that card in the mail the other day. She should have gotton it earlier today. I will wait and call her tomorrow. But dont let a stupid little fight, a disagreement stand in the way of being friends with someone. SO many lost times, so many hurt and time is ticking away. Its not going in reverse. Therefore take the time and make an extra phone call, send a card or letter to someone, or take a few hours out of your day to visit with someone. Maybe you may not be the best of friends, but what happens if you say, OH WELL THERE IS TOMORROW, and then there never is. I meant to send someone that was very special to our family a card just to say I was thinking of them, and time got away from me, and about the time I thought of it again, I got a call from my mother saying that she passed away. I still feel really bad that I never got it send, had I did it when I should have, she would have gotton it just to let her know we were thinking of her before it was her time to go. Don't let that happen to you, treat every moment as your last. Forget and forgive. Make peace with those that have done wrong. Life is too good to go around and holding stupid grudges, or never talking to a good friend, that seems to have betrayed you. and who knows, take the time to make that extra step and you might be suprised what is to come of it. Everyone gets upset and angry, but dont hold in forever. Everyone deserves a second chance, if not more. We are only human and have to learn from each other. and take a minute and share a smile. It costs nothing, but sure might make someone else's day more than you ever will know. :-) |
