Vandals...

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 13:06:09 -0400

So yesterday was pretty fun, worked some of the morning; then went to watch district court. Mon, Wed, and Fri activity for me now. Very interesting and something I need to pay attention to.

Other then that, I went to town… parked my truck… when someone told me there was two wood screws in my tire. Now I know it wasn’t this someone, cause it happened before I parked my truck… BUT you can tell someone purposely did it.

Now I find this funny, because whoever did it was a very inexperienced vandal… and also a pretty serious coward. If you can’t say something to my face, and have to resort to putting two wood screws under my tire, that’s pretty pathetic.

Either way, it was stupid because whoever did it…. did not think at all. They’re messing with 37”x12.50 tires… and they use maybe 1 3/4” wood screws? It barely poked through the grappler part of the tread… didn’t leak a bit of air. 2 plugs and it was fixed (thanks Paul :P).

I have a feeling I know who it was, and I would just like to say (not put two screws under your pathetic little tires) that you’re a coward.

Anyways, last night was ‘mazin… even though I about got took out by a Dollar General truck who attempted to get into my lane.

:) Have a good day.

Seeing People...

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:45:33 -0400

Haha, what a great day I had yesterday. Couldn’t really have asked for better.

Worked all morning, made some $$$ (cha-chinggg), then ate with the family, then spent an evening with the friends. Nothing like sitting in an empty parking lot on a curb listening to Russell and Paul go crazy on some girls who pissed them off.

Other then that, I saw my last ex yesterday, who proudly held her nose up high in the air, which we all thought was quite funny :) Another reason I’m glad that’s over.

I guess I can elaborate on that a little bit more, and bore the h#$! out of you. So for long story short, I was in a relationship for… eh… year and a half? Sounds about right.

Now when you’re in a relationship that long… you start thinking hey… things must be going right, look we’ve made it this long. But it was a LONG road of bull$#!t and well… more BS.

After things are over, you start thinking back on things that happened more in depth. I’ve come to realize love screws you over… badly. It puts blinders on you, and all you see is that person you “think” (notice I said think) that you are in love with.

It blinds you to the fact that not only are you not seeing what is happening around you, or that person is doing, but the fact that you don’t really care… you’re so scared of losing this person that what is really going on doesn’t register in your head.

I’ve realized so much in the past…. probably 3 weeks - a month that it’s not even funny. When you start analyzing situations from the past, you see it a lot better… I should have paid attention to the red flags that were threw up almost a year ago.

I don’t regret it fully; I really realized what love is and what love isn’t… and that’s improved me by a lot.

We just weren’t compatible. They say opposites attract, but I really find that horribly wrong. Likes attract, and I’ve seen pure evidence of that so far ;)

I need someone who likes simple things… who doesn’t need to do something extravagant to have a good time. Who doesn’t consider themselves so high up, that they are a princess. Wait… even better… a “self-titled” princess (ha! who’s the stuck up one now? *rolls-eyes*).

Anyways, :) felt good to get that out.

Have a good day!

So life!

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 17:08:24 -0400

Well it has been months since I have even thought about blogging, been completely and totally busy with everything.

From random beach trips to working my butt off everyday of the week it seems! I have a new schedule pretty much, I wake up *around* 12… work from 12PM-5PM, then go and chill in town, then come back and stay up till around 3AM.

Anyways! Work, has been going crazy lately and I’m so glad. Starting to get busy, starting to get somewhere…. at least some of my hard work has paid off so far.

So for the life! aspect, it’s going GREAT. I’m single now, wasn’t last time I blogged. (Year and a half wasted might I add). Went through about 3 weeks of semi-depression after that, then thought ALOT and realized quite a few things…. now life is even more amazing then it was. Met a lot of new, awesome people :)

I’ve noticed lately, I’ve changed a lot over the past few years. Maybe in the past 4 years, my life has completely wrapped around. Some people say that I’ve “changed” since they met me; I completely agree! I denied it at first, but I’ve realized that I have.

But it didn’t start AFTER I met them, I’ve been constantly changing for about four years, and they just happen to have met me in the process. But now, I’m finally here. I’m Mingle, and he’s here to stay.

I used to be quite the shy little boy, would hardly talk to anyone; now vise-versa I am a talkative, crazy person…. who isn’t afraid to raise a little cane. I have gotten very outspoken, and pretty much will talk to anyone. I think that’s a way better thing then my old counterpart.

I’m hopefully going to go grab some dinner tonight with one of my buds, then hopefully chill out in town. (Last night was ‘mazin might I add…. may describe it later? who knows).

Anyways, enough random ramblings :)

People who think..

Fri, 30 Apr 2010 23:28:27 -0400

Know what really makes me mad? People who think they know things they actually don’t.

People who argue with you just to argue, people who think they know everything, and people who argue with you about you.

People who always come up with something, and are too stupid to listen to you, and instead make themselves look like fools.

Kind of like when I say USPS, and they say they have a UPS guy they will check with to check to see if my information is valid.

Don’t worry, idiots are idiots. Can’t fix stupid :)

School

Wed, 28 Apr 2010 07:29:45 -0400

I’m just so bummed out on school. Like it serves no real purpose for me, and bothers me enough to actually hate it. I mean the social aspect used to be enough for me.. but now it’s a bother getting up every morning.

I know why it’s so bad, it’s only one class throughout the day that troubles me to go to, that I wish never existed. But! Hey, what can I say. I guess you have to go through the bad to get through the good, one more year left.

The rest of my classes are great, the teachers are great.. all two of those classes haha.

Well, time to leave.

Small Town Politics

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 18:00:29 -0400

I absolutely love small town politics, there’s just so much drama to go along with them. Anyways!

How has your day been? I hope it’s been good. Mine was about as boring as it could get, and I’ve just taken some time out of working (and actually eating) to write and jot a little something down.

At this moment there is a fly.. flying around me.. and I’m about to kill it. It’s driving me CRAZY. Other then that I’m drinking a nice Mountain Dew Typhoon! (P.S.. vote for this for DEWMOCRACY).

It’s rainy, cold, with wind blowing.. and all in all it sucks. But anyways, I hope you have a great day.. :)

Blog!

Mon, 26 Apr 2010 18:10:17 -0400

I haven’t used this thing in FOREVER! I need to get back into the hang of it. I used to blog daily, I guess work has been preventing me from doing that.

So on one hand, Mingle Graphics has really been picking up! Thankfully, business has increased steadily. On the other hand, it keeps me busy. So I have less time for free time, but I guess that is what you get when you own a business.

Just got time in between windshield banners to post this. It cost me $10.44 today to ship to Canada, didn’t remember it being that much!

So I’ve been trying to decide if I want to do this the rest of my life.. it looks like a fun business, but who knows? I think it would go great! I think it’s an amazing industry.

Also looking to put a sign up in my yard, to rent out advertising, hmm.. we’ll see how that goes. Anyways! Have a good day ;)

When you do..

Sat, 20 Feb 2010 12:29:34 -0500

When you do what I do in life, the best investment you could ever make is a very large pack of band-aids.

Not only do you cut yourself every fifteen minutes, the random things you do in life (like build a screen printer) gives you very.. very large pieces of metal in your hand haha, that you have to dig out while standing in line at stores.

In summary.. my finger hurts..
