WARNING: RANT ALERT

today is my only day off in like 3 weeks. granted i love the hours as the economy isnt doing so well, but it seems like im wasting my life at The Shack. 40 hours a week dealing with people is tough. for once, i just wish that i could get a job doing what i love, which is shark biology. sure ill eventually get a job after i get my BS in biology next year, as well as working towards a masters and possibly a phd in marine biology, what else is there now? sometimes, i wish i could just fly to south africa and ride a boat out to seal island to see the great white sharks, or jump on a bus and head to CA to go snorkeling in the Catalina Island kelp beds.

i dont have any time for me or my family, which sucks hardcore. all i do is work so we can afford our apartment and the bills. id love to take a week off and catch up on some of my work, such as the rpg, the comic, and my website. if only, since the shack has only given me 8 hours of paid vacation after a year and a half.

too bad money rules the world. id love to not have to worry about bills, having money for food, or anything like that. that way, i can spend my life dedicated to what i think is important. as i sit at my desk, stealing the internet from a person who doesnt have a password on their wireless network, i wonder if everything will ever turn out alright.

on a happier note, my birthday is next week. i should be getting some pretty awesome gifts, but above all, i get to spend time with family. even though they seem to ignore me in favor of my sister, life's not fair, and im glad they are there. this sunday will be full of swimming, a family soccer game, rock band, and tons of refreshing drinks. i hope to have my 360 back from repair by then, because i would like to spend monday playing mvc2 and watchmen parts 1 and 2. im also going to buy a harmony 520 universal remote next wednesday. i love the fact that it will do anything. that and its half price on clearance at the shack, haha.

quote of the week from one of my favorite rpgs: "one day you will know who you really are"
