Well since i haven't posted in for every i figured since i have nothing else to do i would write a little bit. The first and biggest thing that has happened is i have moved back in with my rents in Waverly. I did it cause it is free rent and gives me some extra money to pay off my tv and get some furniture so when i move out i have something in the living room, and also gives me a chance to pay off more of my car. The house is ranch style and the basement is huge, which is where i live. It has a pool table and i put my big screen down here so i can watch some football once it starts. Only bad part about it is that i have to wake up at 525 to go to work which i am not used to wakin up that early.
Other than moving twice in the last month it is the same old song. Go to work come home, hang out and go out to the bars every once and a while. Should start getting better since more people that i hang out with are turning 21.
Also had my birthday at the start of the month which wasn't exciting at all since i got food posioning when i was back in humboldt so i was sick the whole day. But i did end up making it out to chicago to stay with my cousin which was nice.
Other than that everything else is the same. Dating life is non existant lol not that i had one in the first place but ya know. Work still sucks and am waitin for waverly to get the new registers before i try to apply there cause i don't want to go back to the key flick registers.
But it is 830 and i need to head to bed gotta get my sleep caught up on because i am goin to the Family Values Tour on Thursday which should be hella sweet.
So i will talk to you all (myself) later.

new

2006-04-23T19:58:00.000-07:00

So about 2 weeks ago i figured i would go out and purchase a new vehicle. Not that anything was wrong with my Blazer i just figure i would upgrade to something that has everything i want. This purchase covered everything that i wanted. It has heated seats, moonroof, disc changer, V8, and leather. This picture isn't of the exact one i got but it is a picture of the model i got. It is a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The color of mine is about the same color as this one.

Shocked

2006-04-06T13:04:00.000-07:00

So it was just the end of our quarter at hyvee and we got inventory and all that shit done. Well after every inventory we have a meeting about how we did and what we need to do better and what not. Well this one wasn't like the other meetings. All the full time people were there and our Store Director told us he was stepping down. The reason behind it is i believe he is on the comission payment system where if the store makes money you get a paycheck and if the store doesn't make money then you either make little to none. From what i heard they haven't got a bonus for a long time so that means the store director hasn't had a paycheck. He had to look out for his family and being at a store that isn't making money and not getting a paycheck isn't helping his family at all.
I feel sorry for him that he had to do this and will be greatful for everything he showed me. If it wasnt for him i wouldn't know how to do half the stuff i do now. He unlike the humboldt hyvee gave me a chance to do something new to help my career out with hyvee. As much as it might be a bad thing it is also a good thing and that is what i am tryin to look at.
If he does end up stayin with hyvee and gets another store that is one more contact i am going to have and another place i am going to have a possibility of working. With the new store director coming in i am going to know one more more person that can help advance my career and hopefully he can teach me more stuff so i can become better at what i do.

Injuries

2006-03-21T22:51:00.000-08:00

So since i have been at this new hyvee i have been hurt more there than in my life. First thing that happened to me was the pallet jack was rolled over the top of my foot that put a decent size bruise on it. My most recent and most painfull injury was my thumb. We were moving a Hershey pallet off the track and i had one end and 2 other kids had the other end well they didn't hold the weight so i had to drop my end so it would fall and break. In the process of it falling somehow my thumb go pulled out of its joint or bent the wrong way. Either way it hurts and henders me from being able to play basketball and some things at work. But it has only been 3 days and it is already getting better since i have been using it as much as i can. Well enough of my bitchin and moaning hope everybody is doin all right
peace out

WAZZZ UP

2006-03-12T21:49:00.000-08:00

Hey to everybody that looks at this worthless blog. I haven't had time to post anything on here cause i haven't had time to. Nothing has really changed at all with me. Still workin like always and going out every wed. and thurs. night to the bars tryin to meet some chicks. Hasn't been too good the last couple weeks cause of tests and people getting ready for spring break and stuff like that. Well after my taxes where done by a professional i found out i only get 1100 back. I was hopin to get more than that back so i could pay my tv off and get my tattoo. Now it looks like i am only gonna be able to get my tv paid off.
If anybody reads this before tomorrow i am coming back home after i get off work and stayin till tuesday. Have to come back and get some medicine to hopefully get rid of this cold i have had for almost 1.5 months. But besides being sick everything has been going good just figured i would give a lil update since i don't know what else to talk about.
Peace out

New Tat and Problems

2006-02-01T22:30:00.000-08:00

First off here the pictures of the tats i want to get once i get my tax return back

I am probably going to get one of the 3 and then pay off my tv and buy a new matress set because mine sucks.
But the whole problem thing not that it is a big deal is after i hung out with that chick for awhile i started thinking about whether or not i wanted to be in a relationship right now. And after thinking about it for awhile and talkin to some of my buddies about it i figured right now wouldn't be the best thing. I thought about it now because i didn't want to wait 3 months down the road and be feeling the same thing and tell her then.

So the other night i talked to her about it and she didn't understand me at all. But finally after an hour or so she just accepted it. I just wanted to do it now because she is to nice of a girl to hurt even tho i think i did. I am not trying to sound like a player or anything but i like to go out with my buddies down here to the clubs and not having to worry about a chick and hurting her.

But i need to go to bed gotta wake up early and go down to DM with the boss to something at corporate. Feel free to say whether you think what i am doin is right or wrong. I think i made the right choice in not hurting her but then again i could be wrong?????

Tattoo

2006-01-22T20:21:00.000-08:00

Well once again i am changing the day i am getting my tattoo. I was going to get it on this saturday but this chick i am hangin out with asked me if i wanted to go to some party with her and i figured it would be in my best interest to go with her. Plus if i wait for my tax return money to come i will have enough money to get it the way i want. So i think that is what i am going to do. Get my tax return money, pay off my tv and then go get my tattoo. Depending on how i feel on sunday i might come back to humboldt for a bit and bring my W2 back to my mom so i can get my taxes goin. If i come back i will more than likely stop in hyvee so i will talk to some of you then. Later

Update on tat

2006-01-18T19:53:00.000-08:00

Well i was going to come back to algona on wed. to get my tattoo since i had it off but now i can't. I am going to be coming back Jan 28th to get it hopefully. I don't work that weekend and will be able to stay over instead of coming back the same day. It will also give it time to heal so it doesn't bleed while i am at work. If i end up comin down and gettin it and ya wanna see it give me a call. I will probably post on here whether or not i am coming.
Peace Out

My tattoo and another

2006-01-15T20:00:00.000-08:00

Well since not to many people have seen my tattoo i am going to put it on here. Since i haven't got one for awhile i have been looking around for a new one to get and i think i found the one i want. It is going to go on my calf i think.
This picture is of my tat

This picture is of the one i want/gonna get.

??????

2006-01-02T23:07:00.000-08:00

Well since i hadn't posted forever i figured i better write some stuff down before nobody looks at it anymore.
H to the V is goin pretty well finally learning to do some new stuff. I took over GM and HBC so i know how to use the CARS system and the bask guns. I have probably learned more in the last couple weeks than i knew the whole time i was in humboldt which is a good thing.
Finally all the drama has stopped that i had at work with the 2 chicks that work there. It is a long story and don't want to type it all out just glad it is over and it got through their heads nothing was going to happen.
Besides havin to work 40+ hours every week i have not been up to very much. The only other things there are to do in this town so far is to go to the YMCA and play some ball or go out to a club and get a lil tipsy. More fun to go to the clubs because i need to find a g/f or something just so i have something else to get away from work and all the other shit that goes on.
Not tryin all that hard on the g/f part cause as much as i want one i don't want one. But if i get one it will probably be the best thing for me. Probably just be better if i don't try so i don't end up hurtin anyone.
Well it is about 2 in the mornin and i am dead so i am going to bed.
Peace Out and hope everyone is doin fine

DONE

2005-12-18T23:02:00.000-08:00

Well finally the day i have been waiting for the last day of school for the rest of my life has finally came. Well atleast it is done for now. I have finally got my 2 year degree after 2.5 years of school thanks to my stupid advisor that gave me classes that wouldn't help fill the requirements. Hopefully atfer it is all said and done with i will have pulled off 2 c's 2 bs and a A. If all goes well and i do pass which i think i will i can finally start doin stuff that is going to help me with becoming a store director.
Nothing new has happend in the last couple weeks because i have been busting my balls tryin to get all my school work done that i slacked off on for like 3 months. Should be coming home on the 24 to the 25 so maybe i will see some of you then.
Peace out and if i don't talk to ya have a merry c-mas

Back

2005-12-07T22:10:00.000-08:00

Sorry to the whole 2 people that probably read this thing but i have had a lot of stuff going on lately and haven't had time to put anything on here. Thanksgiving even though it was a long time away was probably one of the last times i put anything on there so i will start from there. Thanksgiving was pretty gay had to work 545-4 and then drive all the way back. I bought fell asleep 5 times because i was so tired. When i got there i got the leftovers and those were pretty good. Then i sat and listened to my relatives talk and got so bored with that i went upstairs to my bed and fell asleep at like 9 o'clock. i was then woke up the next day at 11 o'clock to go hunting and that was a failure. We went out for like 3 hours and only got one fricken rooster. I wish it was like south dakota where we could get atleast 10. It was a plus comin back because i got to see Big Moe:) and got to hang out with some buddies from school and got to drink a lil with JR.
Hyvee has been going pretty good finally got to do something new and start checker training all the new people that come through. I also applied for one spot that i thought would help but found out by my store director it wouldn't help at all so i told him i didn't want to do it. I talked to him the other day and found out that i might get to order HBC and some General Merchandise stuff because he said that would help me out. I was also told i will have to order bread again which won't be that hard but it is one more thing on my plate. There was also an accounting spot that i could have applied for but didn't and i told him if he needed me to do it until he got someone i would do that. Well he then told me he was going to have me be the backup so now i may have so much shit on my plate i won't know what to do but it is all good.
The other day when i was coming home from watchin the game i was comin home and my back tire was flat. I changed that and the next morning when i went to leave my front tire was flat. So i had to spend 200 on that and get new tires. Then i had to put them on and that was a 1 or 1.5 hour adventure.
The main reason i have not done anything on this is because i have had a bunch of school work i have had to get done. I was slackin for the whole semester and got a lil behind but i have worked quite a bit on it and got it down to a managable amount so i know i will be done before the semester is over so i can get my 2 year degreee that took 2.5 years to finish yesssss.
Well i am going to go but i will be back in town on the 15 and 16th so give me a call if you want and if ya don't catch me then i will be back sometime for c-mas too
peace out and hope you didn't get bored if you read this whole thing

Return

2005-11-17T13:26:00.000-08:00

Haven't posted forever and didn't know what to name the heading so i will leave it at that. Waterloo is going alright working isn't to bad and the people so far have turned out to be pretty cool. Only draw back is we are open till 12 oclock and nobody and their dog comes in after 11 unless they have to get some beer or cigs. I haven't really been able to do anything fun yet because i have either been working or doing my online classes that i only have a month left in. I have fri sat and sun. off the week of thanksgiving so i am going to come back to h-town and do some hunting which i am dying to do. If there is anything that i can't stand about it here is i can't hunt and that is something that i love to do. If anybody reads this give me a call if you are bored when i am back and we can hang out or something.
Peace out

Peace Out Gramps

2005-11-06T19:16:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to say peace out to my g-pa he died today around 1:30. Before you start feeling sorry which is all right he is in a better place right now. He hadn't been doin well for awhile and was in a nursing home and didn't like it very much as expected. His funeral is either going to be wednesday or thursday so i will be back on here then more than likely.

WATERLOO

2005-11-03T22:14:00.000-08:00

Finally able to get on here since i got all moved in. The move sucked took forever to pack my stuff up and to unpack it once i got here. We made pretty good time coming here since we were doin 75 or 80. It took me about 2 days to get everything unpacked and put in a place and to find things i had packed that i needed.

After i got unpacked it was already time to start working at my new store. It was kind of a shock the first day because it is such a small store but i like it a lot better. For one thing i don't have to stand up front if i work in the morning i am able to go and do things. The store director seems to care a lot more and walks the store to see if there is anything that needs to be ran and makes a list so it gets filled. Seems like he will be willing to help me move up higher if i just ask him. I kind of thought working in this store would not be very fun but the people i get to work with fill that. They aren't like the people from the bolt that were pretty good friends but i could see these people some what filling that spot.

Since i worked in the morning all this week so i could learn what i had to do me and kyle were able to hang out and do some spending of some money. Ever since we talked about me moving here we have talked about gettin big screens. Well we finally came through and got atleast 1. We went to best buy and purchased a 57 inch toshiba that both of us are going to make payments on. Then once we get that almost paid off kyle is going to pick out a big screen and we will do the same thing. I got a pretty good deal on it since it was a opened/returned tv. I still can't believe i got it but there is no way i would be able to go back to a small screen cause it is huge.

Well i am off to bed kind of tired since i had to go to work in the mornin all week for the first time in forever. Hope all your lives are going good and peace out

Move

2005-10-28T21:52:00.000-07:00

It is finally saturday and i am finally moving. Get to get out of this town and try new things. Hope work goes fast tomorrow so i can get home and get all the rest of my stuff loaded up and get all moved in at waterloo. I am guessing i probably won't be back until thanksgiving or christmas depending on how much i am working. But no need to worry i will be on msn probably everyday if i am not busy. Hope this town gets a lil more exciting for the people that have to stay and see ya later.

3 days

2005-10-26T21:57:00.000-07:00

Not that anybody cares but it is only 3 more days before i get to move.

Nappy Returns

2005-10-23T18:28:00.000-07:00

It is about 630 and just finally got all my shit put away I took on the trip. Had to put all my clothes away, clean my car out and then clean my gun and that took at 30 minutes because it was so dirty.
Anyways the trip was great like always so many birds to see and shoot it isn't even funny. I wish Iowa could be the same way south Dakota is with pheasants but I don't think that is going to happen for a while. Got to south Dakota around 1 o'clock or so and put all of our stuff in the hotel. We then changed into our hunting clothes and went out road hunting. Even though me and my brother saw about 5 or 6 roosters we didn't get a single one. For some reason they were getting up really easy which doesn't happen till later in the year and we couldn't shoot worth a shit either. Have to get a few shots under your belt before you can hit something.

On Thursday we went out in a big group and did really good. I think we had 17 or 18 people in our group on Wednesday and only had to hunt for about 3 to 3.5 hours before we had our limit and had to quit. It was fun that day cause there was so many things to shoot at. After we got our limit we went up to the house and cleaned the birds even though there was so many people it took us about an hour to get all the birds cleaned. For some reason/ some how people disappeared when we were cleaning and came back after we were done kind of convenient for them I would say not a job I really care to do. Once we got the birds all taken care of we went to the local bar and stayed there until about 2 a.m. and drank a little and played some pool.

Friday we went back out but didn't see as many birds probably got about 20 or so in 3 hours or so, 9 of the people we were hunting with went to another town to hunt on a pheasant farm so the 8 of us that came up from Humboldt went and hunted some other land. We ended up getting 12 out of there. We came back expecting to clean around 30 some birds but the guys whose land we hunt on cleaned them with a couple other guys so we only had our 12 to clean. Got done with that in about 15 minutes and went back to the bar for a few drinks then went out to eat at a steak house in town.

Saturday we went to a town about 30 minutes from where to were staying to hunt some more. There was 20 people there I think that day and we only got 38 birds but it was still fun even though it was kind of sleeting/snowin out. Once again it took forever to clean the birds because some people had to leave and it was like 20 degrees out and I was wet and cold. Once again when we got the birds cleaned we went back and got cleaned up and went to a pheasants forever thing and I won a freakin frozen turkey as a door prize. Only stayed there till about 10 before we headed home because we had to get up at 7 o'clock to head home.

All in all it was a good trip I think I had 7 birds for sure that I shot and might have had 4 or 5 more but with so many people shooting you can't tell if you hit it or if someone else did. Now I have to get all my stuff I unpacked and pack it so I am ready to move next Sunday.
Peace out

CAN'T SLEEP

2005-10-18T20:26:00.000-07:00

While i am writing this i should be in bed. It is only 1026 but i have got to get up at 330 to start driving to SD. I am debating on whether or not to just stay up and drink energy drinks and coffee or try to get some sleep, more than likely it will be the energy drinks and coffee cause right now i couldn't sleep if i tried. For the 3 people that look at my blog if ya need anything you can call my cell phone if ya don't know it someone probably will. If ya wanna get out of this chitty town sometime after i move give me a call and you can come stay with me and my bro in waterloo.
So long and good night and talk to you on sunday.

Hunting and the Great Move

2005-10-17T22:18:00.000-07:00

As everybody probably knows right now that is even going to look at this i am going on vacation with my 3 brothers and my dad to south dakota to do some pheasant hunting. This is the one thing every year i look forward to because i get out of this sucky town and get to do something that i enjoy. I will leave on wednesday at 4 am and come back sunday sometime.

About 4 days ago i found out that i get to finally move out of this town. I applied for a spot in waterloo and i some how got the spot. It is the same position that i got now but i will be in a whole new enviroment. Saturday the 29th is my last day at hyvee and the 30th i will be moving not that anyone really gives a chit. Then i have to start work on the 31st from 8-5. I am glad i am leaving because one of my best friends lives there and i will be able to get out of this town. The one draw back to moving there is i am not going to have any places to hunt that i will know of. I talked to the store director and he is a hunter so maybe i can get him to take me out some times so i can figure out where to go. But depending on if i can get the other spot there i might not have time to come back here. If i stay with the spot i have now i will get every 5th weekend off which sucks a big one. On the other hand if i take the dairy/frozen spot i will work pretty much mornings and have every other weekend off i believe. Not that it matters either way cause i won't have anybody to come back and see. But i have got to go now and get some stuff packed for the big SD trip so i will probably look at this again sometime in the next week.

Peace Out

First Time

2005-10-16T00:43:00.000-07:00

Just tryin this stuff out seein how it all works and maybe i will keep up on it and post atleast once a week.
