I used to be blocked from websites that I wanted to visit as a child. This was while I was out at Boys Ranch in the days when I first started this little blog. Now I'm blocking myself from websites that, while I still want to visit them, are a waste of time. I could spend all day reading posts on Reddit, but I can't because I only allow myself 4 hours per day, spread evenly throughout the day. (30 minutes every 3 hours.) I do this now because if I

OH MY GOD MY BROTHERS A RETARD. Will you leave me alone for long enough to type some crap into this textbox?!
Sorry, I keep getting interrupted and losing my train of thought. He's filling out a job application, and asking what all needs to be capitalized, and how to spell words ("How do I spell months?" or "How many zeros for a thousand?")

I do this now because I have other things I want to do during the day, but I won't do them if I'm having fun browsing the internet. I just don't have the willpower. Now that I've browsed reddit for my alloted time, I can get to doing other stuff, like learning Japanese again, or studying programming.

Whelp, enough procrasturbating. Time to get to it.

I just published my last entry, and realized that I was basically committing to formulating a plan to stop relying on preset plans before getting out and doing things. How do I stop this madness!

A few weeks ago, when I was wanting to get back into studying Japanese, I became very depressed and decided it wasn't worth investing in learning if I wasn't ever going to get the chance to go live in Japan. I realized last night that while it's unlikely I'll ever get to go live in Japan, it is still worth it to study Japanese. There's always Japanese online that I can read, and even if I can't go live there forever, at least I can go visit on a vacation. I decided it's high time to get back on it, so I've got textfugu.com open again, and I'm ready to start again.

Wish me luck!

I'm not a butler. I'm really not. But you'd think I was if you saw how much I clean up other peoples messes. My two brothers absolutely refuse to clean up the house. They fuck up EVERYTHING.

Their own room? Trashed
Their own bathroom? DISGUSTING PILES OF SHIT ON THE TOILET SEAT.
The living room? Well, when their bedroom became too dirty, the migrated to the living room and are in the process of trashing it.
Kitchen? ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. They refuse to clean up any mess they have made in here.
Laundry room? CLOTHES EVERYWHERE.
Front Yard? Covered in trash from their car.
Back Yard? Littered with rubbish. They have also shot holes through the shed with their bb guns.

In short, the entire house is wrecked because of those two. They are idiots, and they refuse to clean up after themselves. I see now why they had such a hard time in the group home they lived in before begging me to let them live with us. I don't even know what to do anymore. But one thing is for sure, I will not be cleaning up their mess anymore. If it gets too dirty, I'll just save up a few paychecks, and move out. Leave them to their pile of garbage. I'm done being a butler.

They didn't even pay me all that well...

So, I was very nervous yesterday. I applied for a position at a local cable company as tech support. They told me that I had the job, pending a background check. Problem 1: I had an account with this company before that did not get paid in full. This was nearly 5 years ago though. I was still very worried that this would disqualify me. I called this morning to verify when I was supposed to come in, and they said they would see me there at 8:00 am on Monday, May 6th. At this point, I'm pretty confident that they are going to keep me on the job, even though they no doubt know about my prior account with them. I'm so happy to have a job, it's nice.

The rumors are true, I have finally got around to reinstalling the music selector. Now you can read my blog and listen to music at the same time! I am holding a contest to commemorate the event. To the person who can tell me who the unknown artist of arekara.mp3 is, I will give 15 pps. I've only put 6 songs on there, so I will need your help in finding songs that are popular. To the first 5 who will give me the site where I can download the song they would like on the selector, I will give 10 pps. Well, there's not much to write about in this entry, I might have to cut it short this time untill something happens...time elapsed: 7 minutes and 13 seconds...well, I just went through my entire list of events that have happened in the time of the last update, and I can only think of one thing, a headline from the Amarillo Globe News my local paper. it read "Mystery pills leave one dead, two critical" apparently, the mystery pill was passed off as methadone which is used to treat severe pain and is also used to treat narcotic addiction. Police are investigating three men in the case, and an update on the 9:00 edition of the new revealed that one of them has been arrested. The pills were allegedly obtained from a customer at a local billiards hall on Saturday night. What shocks me the most of this is the ages of the one dead and two critical patients. Derek Chipman, 20, died after being picked up at a local amarillo hotel. the other two victims, Kyle Elliott, and Cody Thompson, were both 16. APD has not yet relased the details of the known victims. I wish that for just once, people would stop using drugs, if events like this could persuade people of the dangers of using drugs, I would rejoice, but no drug users seem smart enough to understand this...
Well, I've got to go now, but I'll try to write again soon.

Yeah, so I did a good workout today. First time in 8 years really. I feel a lot more motivated lately. It's been good to get out and walk these past few days. I've also been talking with some guy my landlord sent out to shovel the drains in front of our house. I think I made a new friend. First friend here in Tyler. We're both into anime and gaming. I'm headed over to his house later on today to hang out. It feels good to have a friend again. It really feels like I haven't had any friends or done anything significant since Boys Ranch. I'm glad that things are starting to look up. I kind of feel like getting here on Nutang and writing things down has helped with my motivation. So thanks nutang, I really missed this small community. I'm really surprised to see that it's still going too, after such a long time.

Seriously. I woke up at around 8:30 and took a walk first thing. I studied Japanese for a while. I did my devotionals and bible reading, then I cleaned house and I played Neverwinter. That was really about it. Whelp. At this point, I think it's safe to say that Sunday was my first break day since I got my motivation back. I'm a tad bit worried about what I'll do when I have a job tying me down 8 hours a day, but that starts tomorrow, and I'll deal with it as it comes up. Plenty of people have full time jobs and get stuff done. I can too :D Until then, I'm off to try out Path of Exile, and see if it's any good.
