It is 4:22. I have to work in just a few minutes. I really hate working in the Restaraunt Business. I wait tables on the weekends. Great money for just two nights of work, but damn i hate it. Bout the only thing I like about it is the social life that goes with it. I do have to admit that i meet a lot of great people there. That is the one good thing about it.
I went and got a freelance graphic design job today. It will prolly only pay about 25 - 30 dollars, but it should be pretty easy and quick to do. Yesterday I bought a book about web design and HTML. I talked to a guy I worked with and he said he learned it in about a week. Hopefully I can do the same, but judging from what I have seen I really doubt that will happen.
If i can get a decent job then i quit both my little jobs. I will then have more time to spend on other things. It really sucks working 7 days a week. I am pretty used to it by now, but I look around at some of my other friends who actually have days off and I am in envy of them.
The cold i got last week is still here. I dont think i have ever coughed so much in my life. It feels like im going to die sometimes. Please God take this cold away!!! :o) Well i guess i better go and get nice and dirty at work. Talk with you soon!
This entry really sucks I know. Trust me they will get better! Well I am off to work!

I just got home from work. What a waste of my time tonight. I only made 53 dollars. I guess that
is 53 dollars that i didnt have before, but damn, it sure would have been nice to have a bit more than that. The Clinton tape is going to come out on monday. Some say it will be the end of
his career.
I think i have to agree. His support has dwindled lately. I just wish they would hurry up and impeach him, or i wish he would just save us the trouble and resign. I hear a lot of people say that he shouldnt be impeached for having an affair, but i totally disagree. I know he is just human, but he is also the president of the United States. He is sending the worst message to all the children. I mean what do they think? If the president can do it, then it must be ok. I am one that beleives some things should still be sacred.
Well ok then... enough of that. I am still fighting this horrible cold going around. I cant wait to be rid of it. There are so many people at work that want to do things, and im like "Well i cant, im still sick." I guess i could go out anyway, but my luck it would just kick my ass that much more.
I want to get rid of this thing for good so there is no chance of it coming back. I can tell you this... im definatly saving money by not going out. Tonight at work sarah asked me if i was eating. I told her i wasnt as much. She told me that I looked like i was wasting away. Hmmm dont know if that is good or bad. I know i want to lose some weight, but that is probably the wrong way to go about it.
Heather wants me to run a marathon with her and her dad. I would love to give it a try. I would have to start running again. I know i would have been able to do one when i was in the army, but i dont know about now. Well i am going to go for a bit. I might just sit in front of the TV tonight. Gee what a great night huh! I need a girlfriend!!!!! Later

Sitting here at home finally after a long day at work. I still have this horrible cold. I came home and it felt like my face was burning up. It was really weird though. I didn't feel really like I had a fever, just that my face was really hot. Do you ever get wind burned on your face? That is what it feels like. I do have the cough though. Damn I am soooo sick of coughing.
I have totally nurtured this cold too. I mean it is not like I have been going out drinking or anything. I came home and ran a hot bath, jumped in for a few minutes. Hadley was freaking out by the water, and it occurred to me that he has never seen a bath full of water before.
He just sat on the toilet and watched my every move. If I moved too quickly he would run out of the room only to cautiously move back to his perch. He is a very curious and intelligent cat. One of the smartest ones I have ever owned.
I am sitting here right now sipping a cup of tea. I used to drink tea all the time, then I stopped. Well a week or so ago becca at work offered me a cup and I took her up on it. It was really great, so I went to the store and bought a box of it. It is peach flavored. Very tasty!
Last night I ended up watching TV for a bit. Sarah called and said she was going to just go home, I said that I was just going to watch TV. I hung up the phone with her and Jenn called me to invite me to go over to Heather's to watch a movie. I ended up going over there.
We watched Austin Powers. I have really been thinking about a girlfriend lately. I really miss spending quality time with someone that I care about. I have been out of the dating scene for sooo long that I don't even know how to go about asking a girl out. I feel like all the girls look at me as a "friend". That really sucks too. I mean don't get me wrong i love having girls as friends, but i would like to have one good one as a bit more. Ya know! :o)
Heather and Jenn are defiantly great girls. I love the hell out of them. They would both fall into the before mentioned category. They are both very attractive, great personalities, and are not fake.
Damn my Candlebox CD is skipping. One of the used CD stores in the area just got a machine that buffs out scratches. I need to take that down there and get it fixed, along with about 50 other CD's. I have about 200 CD's, and a bunch of them are scratched.
I looked at web sites today for ideas for my online journal. I found a great site. It is called "Scottys World." I will defiantly be putting a link on my page going to his. His is just really fun to read, and he seems like a really down to earth guy. I hate reading some of the journals.
The people try way to hard to impress people by their writing skills. I mean that is cool if that is what you are trying to get across. That is defiantly not what I'm trying to do. Well hell I couldn't impress anyone by my writing because I really can't write. I also found a journal that a first grade teacher set up for his class. It was really funny reading what little kids write about. They were writing about who got their names on the board and who got check marks next to their names. Remember that???
Jon has been gone all weekend. I don't know where he went off to. I like having the house to myself once in awhile. It is good to be alone sometimes. Well I guess I better go and start reading more on html. I HAVE to learn this stuff! See ya!
