Started work at Rose Pedal Records. It's awesome! I can't believe that I'm finally here... The majority of the work that comes in already has art so Raland hasn't needed me for much but he has started training me on the video transfer stuff. He won't stop praising me because I'm learning all the technical stuff with him only telling me once. Since I had tinkered around once when I had put together the Asia slide show for the family I knew a little of what to do. Everything relates to everything else so I don't really see what the big deal is but if Raland is happy, that's all that matters. He calls me genius boy which is a term I am quite fond of. ;) I watched a birth today. We had to edit out the bloody parts and seriously, I don't know what sick joke they thought this was but man alive... MAN ALIVE!!! Have you watched a birth before? WHO FILMS THIS SHIT?!?! And beyond that, what sick person makes someone else edit out the blood?! They saw it the first time so don't they know how much blood is there?! Seriously! I'm never having kids if I have to watch the wife go through that. I'd be the first to pass out with the smell and sounds and... It's just not my cup of tea. But, aside from that, I'm really enjoying that job. I work 5 hours and it only feels like 2, maybe 3. It's amazing how I'm just made for this job. The people, the music, the tech... Raland is grooming me to be the next him. Except I won't be as goofy. I know that's hard to believe but I can't be more goofy than him. Ever. But I admire the guy for what he's learned, what he does professionally and for what kind of a person he is.
So I've had a lot of time to think about life lately... Specifically about girls. I don't know how long it's been that I've felt like I've been on the rebound... I almost would have to say since Rhea, the opera singer. I was thinking back to the girls that I've dated and what kind of influence they have been on me and what changes I've made because of them... I haven't been really proud with the past 3 years of the girls I've chosen to date, save a few choice ones. I really need to sit down and really analyze what I've found attractive about these girls/women and really pick out all the qualities that I need to look for and decide on stricter "can't date you" guidelines. I talked a little about this to Brandy and a few other friends and the feedback they've given me has really helped. Considering everything that has happened to me, relationship wise, I can't believe how open I've remained. I have always believed this to be a great quality because I don't let my jaded soul dictate who I open up to. Lately, in contrast, I'm beginning to see that having barriers aren't necessarily a negative quality at all. In fact, they can protect us from repeating past mistakes, especially if we have a tendency to be around a certain type of people. I don't believe that stereotyping every woman I run into is the answer but making certain, educated judgments about what may or may not qualify them to date, I'm coming to discover, is quite necessary. I've tried staying away from the prissy, plastic girls because, frankly they're a pain in my ass and I don't like swimming in their bullshit. They talk forever about nothing and all they do is bitch and moan about this or that, never for one second making a compliment excepting a quick comment meant only as an intro into some sarcastic... Am I bitching? Hopefully you get the point and know the type of girl I'm talking about. But that is what I need to do MORE of. I need to pay attention to the things that will make me happy or would drive me crazy, no matter how cute she is when she looks at me with that smile...
I can't believe how much I can write here on the afternoon shift. Down time is HUGE when it gets deeper into the evening... I need to start reading something more than just the New York Times. :) Yeah, yeah throw me your "I hate liberals" and other "hate speech" like that. I can take it. Actually, speaking of liberalism, they had this GREAT article today about Fox News in the opinion section. I about died it was so funny. :) Apparently Fox News attacks anyone that tries to smear their name or smear the name of one of it's editors. Well, this NYTimes writer basically ranted about Big Bad Fox News. If you have any mind for the satirical or sarcastic, you'll love the article. :)
So, we're going to do Metal Gods this Thursday. I have only been once in... Wow. I can't even remember the last time I went... At least 5 months? Dang Gina. I've been missing out! Think of all the live metal I'm missing out on! Speaking of music... This week marks the beginning of the Twilight Concert Series courtesy of Salt Lake City! HOORAY!!! Sam Bush came last year and was AWESOME!!! I can't wait! I have Thursdays off so I'll be able to go to a bunch!
