Living in California

So with graduation coming up so soon, December 2010, I have to get an internship. I am lucky enough to work for the company OpenTable Inc. who is the leader in online reservations for restaurants, etc. And now I have been in talks with the VP of Marketing and a few others and it's looking like I might be living the Cali life for a summer and hopefully the following January. Here's to good luck!

Google Wave

Woot! I am one of the lucky 100,000 people who got the Google Wave invite. After reading and watching everything everything that has to do with Wave it looks like it is going to absolutely amazing. The potential for the application is mind-blowing.... if they actually come through with all of the features they speak about it will be possibly the biggest internet phenomenon in the last decade. I can't wait for it to go to full release, epic.

One Minute Monologue

Trying to memorize a one minute monologue is pretty sweet, especially when its due tomorrow. I have decided to do the piece of monologue that goes with the opening scene of the movie Trainspotting. Which is one of the greatest cinematic adventures that probably won't be topped. The quote is spoken by

Mark "Rent Boy" Renton: "Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?"

Now I have about 16 hours to remember this and present infront of my Theatre class. FTS

Blink 182

Say what you want about that band, but they are the greatest thing to ever grace the earth. Well at least the United States. For the last few days, and this happens all the time, all I can listen to is Blink. Their lyrics are so goddamn catchy and its basically the soundtrack of my life so far, I don't know what that says about my life though... So on that note, if you haven't listened to them before, do it. Listen to anything off of their self-titled album and if you have a soul, you will enjoy it. As well as +44 and Boxcar Racer are spawns of Blink when they broke up years ago.

I got to see Blink in concert and it was possibly the single greatest moment in my life, and if you have an opposing view of that, then FTS.

Damn it is cold out

I never knew how much I appreciate heat being included in rent. As I write this it is probably warmer outside than it is in here, at a nice crisp 47 degrees outside. Paying for oil is the worst idea ever, especially with it being colder than I would ever want it to be. But at least I will be getting oil here in the next couple weeks.

I'm still astonished the temperature in here is within 10 degrees max of it being outside. FTS

So I'm Starting a Blog, eh?

Well, this should be interesting... So I have no real aim at this thing quite yet, but I'm just going to go on a rant of the last week or so.

A. This year fantasy sports has been the most horrific year of my life. Sure, the beginning of the year was pretty good, leading most of my leagues. But, since football started I have shittanked down to the bottom of every league. It's absurd, I can't fix anything no matter what I do, dropping/adding every player I can, still can't do anything. FTS (Fuck This Shit- similar to FML, but a shit-ton better)

B. I never knew how much I depended on my phone until this last week. Going a week without a cellphone charger is hell. Having to sparingly call people, text, check facebook, and update Twitter is among the worst experiences of my life. If you think you can go a week barely using you're phone and keep sanity, go for it and enjoy wanting to punch yourself in the face repetitively.

C. After hours of deliberation with myself since I started writing this blog. Well maybe minutes, but it felt like hours. But I'll probably just update about how I hate a lot of things, probably ending in FTS. ie. Today, I decided to do homework a few hours late, FTS
