Laggin' it!!!

I really am lagging on this blog. It's been almost a week and I've only managed 1 1/2 posts not including this one. Though I am proud to say I finally found out where to edit the pages and went ahead and made an "about me" page. Head on over and check it out so you can get links to my website. :)

A little preview of the photo I posted today :)

Hmmmm, today was a bit of an interesting day. moreover this week has been very awkward and stressful. In fact scratch all that. My entire life has been stressful and awkward. Hey, I've had some good times, but ultimately when I look back I realize that I have never really taken advantage of anything i had in my life. Instead I took it all for granted. Last week my (ex) girlfriend broke up with me, and now it finally dawns on me that it was mutual. I couldn't love her, I didn't even KNOW her! I was too wrapped up in the idea of someone loving me for who I am that I blinded myself to the obvious unfaithful acts she was committing. And as I sat in the living room of my parents' house and watched my mom breathe her last breath I held her hand and promised to take advantage of the opportunities I ruined and took for granted while she was alive: to love people on purpose and never stop loving them; To take care of and be apart of my ever-growing family and to be more social; And most importantly, to live in a manner that would make her proud, as even as she was coming to her last days she was still giving me kind and loving reminders that I was doing things that made her sad and disappointed. What a fool I've been! But to roundabout back to my point, today was very interesting.

I got to work at the usual time and started doing the usual things, until my princess (we call him princess because someone asked where my apprentice was and I heard it totally wrong and said I don't have a princess.) showed up and declared that he was in the worst of moods. He says he struggles with anger problems, but today was a bit more intense, because my attempts at just being random and joking got him laughing, but even through his laughter he had an uncontrollable anger welling up in his eyes and I just soon accepted that today wasn't a day to clown around.

So the day continued on without incedent up until my boss returned from his training across the street to tell me to get on the forklift and put the bins of peppers into the other cold room to make room for the market cardboard boxes on the 100+ pallets sitting outside. So my princess and I began moving the bins and then Veto (another driver) showed up and told us that he called Sergio (the boss) and that Serg said to put the bins in a different room. I protested very firmly that I refuse to do anything without the boss saying so himself, because I know how angry Serg gets when things don't go his way. But as time passed and things weren't going the way they should have, it made more sense that perhaps Sergio did want the bins moved to another room, so we started  putting them back into the other room that Veto suggested. Then all hell broke loose! Sergio walked in and started yelling words I couldn't make out. Then he finally walked over to me and said "What are you thinking? what did I tell you to do mister?" I explained that his number 2 guy told us that he himself gave the order to change direction, and Sergio, as I clearly called it, said "And who is the boss Cameron? Veto or me? You know what, forget it, since you don't do what I tell you, just put the bins in this room and we will have to put the market in the other room now." He then continued over to Jon (princess) and chewed him out a little. I was eventually told to just get off the forklift and go home while the two guys who set me up stayed and got overtime finishing the job Sergio gave to me specifically. [Enter maniacal scream here] seriously?!

But oh well, just another bs filled day at work with a bunch of racist latino cut-throats. (no seriously, I'm the only white guy there, I could win a descrimination case in court if it came down to it, but I speak enough spanish to just cuss them out and tell them to their faces that I'm not giving up my job over wannabe homies that drive golf-carts mixed with tractors for a living.) Am I ranting? Ah crap I'm sorry!

So anyways, on the way home I decided to get what I like to consider comfort food. A chocolate shake from Del Taco. And what would be so comforting about an ice-cream-based drink in 47 degree weather you ask? Simple: the girl that works there wednsday nights is always cheerful and happy to see me and we chit chat while I pay and wait for my food. It's not a crush or anything, I am just trying to be more social like I promised and she has a really big personality and is willing to stop and ask how my day was, even though I always say "fine." But then I got home and had the pleasure of not only a warm shower, but also the thought of Morgan coming over and keeping me company watching a movie this weekend. YAY! And even though Morgan is currently the only reader I have, just in case anyone comes across this post in the future when hopefully I have a reader or two, please feel free to click that link and check out her stuff, she is an amazing, beautiful, talented and energetic young individual. I've only known her for a week or so now, but I'm already finding that we have literally YEARS worth of things to do as we have pretty much everything in common. Thank you craigslist for leading me to the most random head-booting person I've met besides myself. :)

In closing, I'd like to just say that today (yesterday, now that I see its passed 3:00 a.m.) has been interesting. When I say interesting, it means that it was at one point a very bad day, and at other points so good i couldnt remember the bad parts. And so interesting is the happy median that serves as proof that today was't the best, but it wasn't so bad after all either.

So what will I blog about next? I have no idea. I wish I had some sort of social networking or fan-base or something like that so I could take suggestions. But for now I will just hope that I can provide a more entertaining and uplifting post next time.

Ja ne!
