UNLIKE PAST PRESIDENTS, OBAMA SKIPS CHURCH AND HEADS TO GYM...

i just realized how to counter the -ish sites.
don't read or comment on the -ish site.
just click on the name of the original author at the very top of the article and go directly to their entry and interact there.
recommend the original work, not the -ish sites.
that way, the author gets the credit.

yeaaaa.

man, i love the feeling i experience after working a shift of cashiering.

i feel united with people and society. it's because i basically greeted, said good-bye to, small talked with, smiled at, looked at, got looked at by people for 4.75 hours straight. i can't descriminate who i chose to interact with. it doesn't matter what their sex is, what their race is, what their level of beauty, or what their socio-economic level maybe, i have to greet & interact with them. it forces me to become once again a social animal. i am forced to connect with people. and, it's a good thing.

there's no way i could have forced myself to talk to 150-200 strangers w/o this circumstance of cashiering. the fucking perfect means to up my social skills, seriously.

i was sorta bummed that i only had 8-9 hrs per week, the last 2 weeks. but, it was perfect timing because i was sick as hell.

but next week i'm back to about 22.5 hours so i'll get really good training and a deeper connection with people. there's still a lot of shit to improve on. but, i am thinking it'll happen naturally if i give it enough time.

also, my cashering speed time is up to 92% GREEN, up from 70% RED a few weeks ago. my ability to get ?arget credit card applications and surveys filled out is increasing too. my goal to become the best cashier that ?arget has ever seen is still intact.

i'm so glad i complained about "push". that shit was really slavery in modern times. cashiering is so much more chill. it's standing in one place for a long time, but it's way more doable than pushing for 6 hours straight. only bad thing is that i can't stare at beautiful women at cashiering. it's too obvious when they are standing right in front of you.

i was doing some file organizing and found a free 5k i forgot about. some dude jacked my vehicle and was court ordered to repay me 5k for stolen item and damages caused to the vehicle. i was rich back then, and felt sorry for his mother who had to pay so i just let the non-payments go. but, i need the cash now, i'm gonna call his probation officer and force him to pay. this happened back in 2003. i wonder if i can still get the money back.

ps: after calling the probation department, the balance owed to me was actually 2374.21. i still need to track down the probation officer. i'm getting all this down tomorrow. too late tonight. dude, this is 4-5 months of ?arget cashiering. it's huge money now. lol

1. i am reverse-psychic - people can hear my thoughts. this is a good and bad thing. when i think and feel good things about people, they know it. when i think and feel bad things about people, they equally know it.

2. i shave my pubes, not all the way, razor length #1 it's cleaner and presentable this way. i shave my armpits to the same length. i seen some women who don't clean up downstairs. i think everyone who is clean-conscious should.

3. i am addicted to vh1 - real chance of love, charm school, celebrity rehab & pickup artist. oh yea and those shows about celebrities and rich people. i am oddly attracted to lacey. she is evil, but i like it. altho she always looks pissed off, she has a very beautiful face and her body is nice. actually, i probably have a crush on most of the female characters on vh1. they know how to cast dem women.  i also have mutliple crushes on beautiful women on xanga as well.

4. i am destined to become a millionaire, somehow.

5. i worked out my arms & abs today. i'm surprised i can still do 100 ab crunches x 3 after such a long break. first day at the gym in 2 weeks or so. coughed the whole time there. i couldn't wait any longer. i will try to work out again tomorrow. my goal is to become the healthiest man in los angeles. alcohol, drinking contest, and ice cream - these are what triggered my downturn this time around. i will not make the same mistake again. banning alcohol & ice cream from my life.

ps: new goal after i regain my health is to become a risk taker.
