haha feels like forever since I updated this thing. Last one was on feb 9th to tell people how i quit wow, but now I'm back in it. You can't quit wow, wow quits you... Anyways, wut's new? I graduated. Can't find a real job. Still working at costco. The only thing new is that I graduated, really.  Life's been good I guess. It's there.  I push carts now.  It's a good work out, but hot.  I'm always sweating and tired every time I work. I've been there for a year already.  That was quick.  So wut I've been doing since march is investing in stocks. So far they are doin well. My dream is to get a house and no longer need to work.  I don't dream of working in an office or be up in the corporate ladder somewhere like many people dream of.  I just want a happy, healthy, simple life.  Happy to me means that I no longer need to work for money.  Health is not really an issue to me.  I eat a lot of bad food. You only live once... Simple life is no complications or high expectations from another person.  Therefore, I will probably never get married... who knows.  That's the dream that I want.  I don't think that I have to climb up the corporate ladder or work in a 9-5 job to have that feeling.  I think that investing is a way to avoid all these complications.  It's a gamble, but I'm willing to take this gamble to avoid working altogether and enjoy time with family and friends on vacations.  Hopefully, my stocks will jump up a lot by next year.  I'm happy that it is slowly getting there.

So I've been having dreams about disk-shaped objects flying in the sky, as you may know we call them UFO's.  They're always silver and they fly super fast.  I even tried to take a picture of them on my phone in the dream and it always came out as a blur in the sky.  That got me thinking that this was one of the reasons why many could not prove that UFO's exist, because they could not get super HD quality captures of the space craft since it moves so fast.  People will only believe in these sort of things when they see it with the naked eye. If it was a super HD quality capture, people will start shooting down the belief by saying the person who posted it used computer graphics, since it is so high tech today, and that it is not impossible to make things look real. I started googling stuff about them on the internet since I was bored and a little fascinated.  Turns out, there are thousands and thousands of people who reported seeing strange objects in the sky.  Since we could fly using airplanes of course, that is always the conclusion for people who think we're the most powerful people in this universe and there is no possible way that anything besides humans who could create objects that fly for these reports.  Even governments of other countries have admitted that they have evidence of these space crafts existing.  They have footage and physical evidence of these such things, but why is the US the only one hiding it? My theory is, our government wants to keep order and power.  If one day the government decides to announce that there are more smarter beings than us, since they could build such great space crafts, and that they have the ability to do things unimaginable, how would that affect us?  Some may question their religion which can lead to living with no morals, and causing chaos. Example, "Why did Jesus give life to aliens? Why did he make Humans less powerful than these beings?" Many will commit suicide, since it has happened before, when someone announced aliens will take over the planet on radio, causing people to panic. The belief in our powerful defense will not be so powerful after all, since it is believed that military weapons cannot take a single space ship down.  A government without a strong military cannot stay in power, only to those below it.  Since other countries have admitted, however, nothing has happened and people accepted the facts.  My theory may be wrong, and there is a greater truth to hiding these sorts of things.  I think it is always great to keep an open mind, that we can't be the greatest beings living in this universe.  If these sorts of things are true, I hope that I will one day live to see the truth and that these space ships will no longer be called UFO's but IFO's. =)   

Working at costco is not very hard.  All I do is put stuff into carts, kinda like playing Tetris and do returns.  I still can't believe I'm getting paid this much for doing less than CVS.  I just got my first paycheck on friday, for working 25 hours, it wasn't bad.  The union dues is wut killed the check, but it was still a good amount for a week and not working as much.  I also get time and a half every sunday, since it gets really busy.  Everyone who works there is very nice so far, hundreds of employees, and are always willing to help.  It gives me good excercise, since I haven't been to the gym for 5 years, and keeps me active since things are fast paced there, and not much down time is allowed.  You have to react fast to get the lines going or else the lines get longer and members get angry.  Still, costco is still a good place to work at, and many people still shop there even though we're in a recession, so it is a stable company. During orientation, only me and one other guy attended and they told us that we we're the last ones hired.  I felt like we were the only ones hired.  The next time they will hire is during christmas, so if anyone hasn't found a job yet, apply during that time.  They made us watch videos after videos of what a great company costco is and what employees need to do to keep it great.  I didn't care, I was getting paid for sitting there.

The first day however, was hell, since it was coupon day or something, so tons of people came in and we were so busy that all 20 registers were open and each had at least 10 people waiting in line.  So the supervisors decided to throw me up in front and teach me how to load things.  My line was the longest since it was taking me a while to put things evenly into the cart.  There's a lot of pressure when hundreds of people are waiting in line with nothing better to do than stare at the new guy trying to figure out how to do things right.  As days went on, things started getting easier and people seem friendlier.  I also realize that I benefit from working there.  I get free membership for me and 3 other people.  We could all get gas for cheap, which saves me 50 bucks a month, and movie tickets are 14.99 for 2, since me and friends usually watch movies every other week.  There's good food everywhere so I will never go hungry again.  The only things that bother me about working there is folding clothes and there's not so straight guys working there, if you ever heard my stories, you'll know what i mean.   

So being in needles wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Before we went, I imagined a hot dry quiet small town with kids in mullets throwing rocks at beer bottles.  There is literally nothing to do out there in the day time. Maybe we could go jet skiing if we had a jet ski or go fishing, but it would be too damn hot to do anything.  Anyways, it rained and it was a my night 2 nights in a row.  The first night, we got ready to close the store, which is why my previous entry was so short and we headed off to the casino. I didn't want to play anything, since I was dirt poor from not working for 2-3 weeks.  We ate at the buffet, good food actually, and then my dad gave me 20 bucks, and my older bro gave me 15 bucks loose change.  So I just put the money in my pocket and wanted the day to end so I wouldn't spend it.  I went around the casino, watching the black jack tables mainly, and saw the players lose so much money. I told myself, I'm glad I'm not in that situation. But then again, it wasn't really my money. So I put down the 20 bucks my dad gave me at the $3 black jack table.  First hand, I bet minimum, dealer busts, so I made 3 bucks.  Wow, that was easy. I was on a winning streak for about 4-5 hands in row.  So I made about 15 dollars from playing blackjack.  Something told me to pull out, but I decided to stay.  Dealer started getting 21 and 20's and eventually I lost the whole 20 bucks invested.  There goes my dad's 20.  So I walked back to where my dad was playing slots.  He was winning here and there, but not much since he doesn't bet big.  Only 3-4 dollars on a winning combo.  After staring at the game he was playing for about 15 min, I got tempted and put 5 bucks into the a slot machine 2 machines down.  It had a theme of medieval times, with a princess, prince, horse, gold, treasure, and if you get 3 keys, u get 10 free bonus spins.  Well anyways, I jumped up to 10 bucks, went down to 3 and got a bonus from 3 keys.  I only got 5 bucks from that bonus, and kept spinning.  Another bonus, and got 10 bucks. The third bonus was the excitement. I got 5 in a row like a countless number of times and won 40 bucks.  Wow. Its sad how I could win more on slots, a game with no skill, than black jack.  Cashed out that 40 bucks, and walked around content.  After waiting for another 15 min.  I got tempted again.  So I put in 2 bucks in that same machine.  On the first spin, I got a bonus.  The bonus for some reason, gave me 80 bucks.  Wow, what a night, what luck, I thought.  My poor dad lost 20-30 bucks that night and my older bro lost 40 from poker.

The next morning, I went to the DMV there to pay for registration, since now I had cash from the previous night.  Wow, free registration, in my opinion. So I was left with around 40 bucks. The second night, my dad wanted to really go to win his money back.  I told him that he will lose more and its best not to go.  He told me he doesn't go much, so since we're already here, mind as well go.  So we went back to that casino so my dad could win back his money.  I stood there and watched him pull out a 20, like its nothing, and put it into some Mayan theme machine.  He won about 20 bucks from that.  That encouraged him that he will get his money back.  So he went back to that machine he lost his money from the previous night, and I just stared as his credits fluctuated up and down.  So I sat down at the same Medieval machine and put in 20 bucks for fun.  Got a couple bucks here and there, then went down to 3 bucks.  I thought to myself that I'm an idiot, luck only comes once.  So I said screw it and kept playing until my 3 bucks was gone.  Got a bonus, with 4 keys this time.  4 keys meant 25 free spins. After all the spins were done, my credits were at 180 bucks. I was shocked.  Then I gave my dad 40 bucks since he invested 20 bucks into my account.  I should have gave him that after the casino, since I knew he would put it into that same machine that was actually a vaccuum.  He lost it all and total lost was near 100 bucks.  Even worse than the previous night.  I told him in the car that it was better to give me the money directly, instead of indirectly. 

So I made about 300 bucks goin on a "vacation".  It made up for the days I didn't work.  I thought I was doomed.  Sometimes it makes me believe that there might be someone or something actually out there watching.
