ZAP!!!! Chili dog deluxe

So what? Maybe another rambling may settle my urge to scream. It's happening again, I'm so bored I'm enraged and it's all I can do to not yell out...But I can't...I'm in a library and that isn't exactly allowed. I figured out today that I'm horrible with money, I mean I always knew that but today was the donkey that broke the camel's back (don't worry about it, it's an inside joke that none of you are expected to understand). I was in Zellers today (I really hope you all know what that is otherwise you deserve a slap) and what did I see...It was a box set of 10 DVD's that each had 2 movies on it for $19.99 and there I was, standing there looking at it thinking to myself that the only reason that they're so cheap is probably because they were all crappy movies. Then I looked again, realized that I was right, and saw that one of the DVD's had both Death race 2000 and Day of the Dead on it. In that instant I knew I had to have it I couldn't pass up this gem specifically because I'd never seen Death race 2000 in stores ever since I'd seen it. There was a moment there when I stopped and thought...Hey...Do I really need this? I mean I don't even know what most of these other movies are let alone if they're good or not. I then did a quick calculation and figured I didn't really care. Seriously, if the movies suck I only paid 1 dollar for each of them and I love death race 2000. For those of you who wonder what that movie is (and I assume there are a lot of you because it's not exactly an extremely popular movie) Death Race 2000 is movie movie set in the future...Well...The past now where every year (I think it's every year) there's a race held where the drivers (and navigators) race across the states trying to get points along the way to win. What's so good or different about that? Well they get points by hitting people with their cars. As to what the actual point system is I'm not quite sure because it's been a very long time since I've seen the movie (almost a year now I think). It's such a great movie, I'm giddy now in anticipation to watch it, but alas it must wait.

Right now I'm looking around at the other computer users here and I just noticed something that made me think (warning! Thought tangents in process). There's a lot of young kids using the internet here, one is even chatting on msn (that can't be a day over 12 years old) which you're not supposed to do and it's even blocked which leads me to believe that he's using the web messenger that enables you to chat at both wok and school. But then this makes me think...How does he know about it? There are so many young kids on the net nowadays it's disturbing, everything is being flooded with them and they're going places they really shouldn't. For instance...I have been informed by a 15 year old that my beer knowledge is laughable. This bothers me for two reasons, the first is that someone is critising me (someone who works in a liquor store and absorbs all this information like a sponge because he needs to inform other customers) that my knowledge on anything alcoholic is laughable. And second it bothers me that a kid of 15 years is saying this...I mean...Is it just me or does it seem like someone that's 15 shouldn't really know anything about alcohol. This being said, I've found that I've had an urge to expand my knowledge on beer, not what they taste like, but everything, I want to start homebrewing. I've looked into it and I figure I could do it, I think it would make a pretty sweet hobby. Also, I'm up to 60 different types of beer that I've tried. I've never been too much of a fan of binge drinking but a little now and then with friends is fine by me. Funny how I can ramble on and not really say anything important.

I like my job, I usually always like whatever job I'm at otherwise why would I stay? It's just people that make a job crappy, not the customers, I can deal with customers and laugh about it after because I usually don't have to deal with them again after. It's always the co workers that ruin a good job...Two specifically. One is a supervisor that can be nice at times but can also be a hainus bitch. Constantly criticizing me for everything. Fine I deal with criticism remarkably well, it being how people improve and all, but when I'm just accused of things that I've already improved on and she doesn't see it because she hasn't been around (there's a kid crying in the background, it's so loud you'd think the mother was peeling it or something, i think it's just screaming to amuse itself). And then when i'm blamed for something i didn't do. Hell if i've done something wrong i'll admit it right away, but i hate being accused of leaving things unlocked when i seriously hadn't touched them just ticks me off. And then there's the other guy thatworks at my store, the only other guy, he's lazy, he whines so he doesn't have to work and even put himself as non-available when our liquor orders come in so he doesn't have to put them away. The reason he gets away with it too is because he flirts with the above mentioned supervisor, and i'm left cleaning everything up because there's no other person to do it.

now there's a small child that's about 8 years old right next to me that's seems to be either talking to himself or the computer...it's funny and i's making me laugh. Laughings good, brooding about things really isn't healthy and just makes things worse for me...I'm impressed with the length of this blog right now i haven't made one this long of just me typing for a really really long time. but that's all now...food is calling me, or atleast my stomach is.
