They said it was only going to rain, which I really wasnt OK with in the first place, and then what happens? Why it SNOWS. Yes, its currently snowing outside my window. And its sticking to the ground. I am very confused, previously when i have lived here in the Great North I am used to sunny weather for April. Not so.
Uh...yeah. More posting though! OH! I actually have a Mental Note for you all! Remember that PS3 games are meant for a BIG screen. I have recently came across a smaller tv to use for my gaming purposes and Ive got to say...it looks really tiny, I can hardly read some of the text in the games I play...Oh well.

Post?
Yes! I am here and I make posts! Imagine that! Anyway, for all those curious out there, no I have not found a job, but Home Depot is treating me a little better. There are some major things that annoy me sometimes, some days, but its an all-right place to work. Other than the really early mornings, I have to be at work at 4AM so I usually have to be in bed by 8 or so. Its kind of sad, I go to bed when the sun is still shining though the window here in the Great North, but I deal with it.
Things are going pretty well, my girlfriend is also looking for a new job, and we occasionally go on the hunt for jobs, but its slim pickings out there, I know. Well, I dont really know what to post here, but meh, I might as well post something right?
I have not had many Mental Notes at all lately. Its my girlfriend who usually winds up reminding me about something and I seem to remember the smallest detail yet cannot remember the big picture at all. Oh well, I imagine its one of my shortcomings. Also I think I know what Im going to do for the rest of my life!
I will be a radio broadcaster. AKA a Radio DJ. Exciting right? Im really pumped op for it, but I gotta buckle down and get things started, but its a two year course if im not mistaken, but im not too sure. Anyway, just getting you all up to speed. Oh and another thing ive been thinking, would you guys listen to a podcast? Ive got a really decent microphone here and im not entirely sure what Id talk about but, I guess thats the charm of Mental Notes. Let me know in the comments what you think.

New Look!
Hey everybody! Hows life? Mine is actually going pretty well! Im broke but im in love so its ok! But really, I am broke and its all right. I love my girlfriend and we make it through hard times. By hard times I mean ive got to look for another job. Yep, the Home Depot is not doing it for me anymore, they are going to be cutting my hours so I need something to support myself.
But enough of the downer stuff eh? Anyway, I know i promised people that something would appear on Youtube. I havent forgotten what I said and im still working on it. I realize now that I need to record my voice afterwards or if I get a better computer which...Wont happen for a while, not until I have some money.
Anyway, like the new look of the ol blog? I crafted it together with the new Designer template thingy from blogger here and its really easy to have something like this pop out. I personally like my blog so much more that I gave it a facelift. Also, I realize Im posting much more to Facebook than here, but ive got a little interaction between the two of them, well they both post to each other! Its clever if i say so myself.
Im downing a can of Rockstar Cola at the minute and Ive got to say...its pretty tasty. Its not Coke or Pepsi, and I think thats the best part...and also that it gives me energy. Anywho, I just wanted to keep you guys in the loop so you dont feel so cold and distant.

Movie Review: Alice in Wonderland
Hello everyone! Im back with a new review for movies! its been forever since ive done this, but bear with me for a little bit.
So. Alice in Wonderland. I thought it was a good show, an interesting twist on the original story of Lewis Carol's work. The imagery and acting was superb, with Johnny Depp stealing the show at some points, the others played their roles well, especially Alice, who I liked best out of the bunch. Interesting directions with the art and sets and the COSTUMES! I really liked the costumes, especially for the Red Queen. Having her head a little bigger than a standard size really came to play later in the movie, but all in all, I thought it was a great movie.
So thats for Alice in Wonderland. I would go see it again just to see if i could catch anything I missed from the first time.

Boogies Burgers
ive always heard of a better burger place than Peters. At first I didnt pay any mind to it, thinking it was only a few people who thought so, and then it started to gnaw on my brain that there could be something better than Peters.
Well, I finally decided to go there, and I grabbed my girlfriend and we went. The atmosphere is like a old 50s diner but its more updated and a little more modern. They even have a 'Peter Swear' jar. Every time you say the P word, you pay a quarter. I laughed and was going to have one of their burgers, but something caught my eye, it was called National Lampoons Hawaiian Vacation. basically its teriyaki chicken, grilled pineapple lettuce and tomato. It was really tasty and I plan on going back and officially trying one of their burgers. So this is kind of a partial review of Boogies and so far...
I LOVE IT. They even have a scary burger called Dont Fear the Reaper. Its 4 burger patties, bacon, swiss and cheddar cheese, and egg. it makes me shiver in fright but at the same time I cant help but think how tasty it would be...anyway, expect something else from me here too.

oh HEY!
Long time no post eh?
Well....lots of stuff has been happening in my life lately, like getting a job! it makes me excited to get it, ive been there for about a month now, and its going pretty well for me. Another exciting thing is that...I bought a CAR! Yep I have a set of wheels to call my own, and truth be told, I should be driving it around way more often than i do.
However, i was tossed into a little debt after that purchase, so i owe some people money which is why im working like crazy. Tying to get some overtime from the boss people to help pay off my car but it runs like a dream.
I traveled to Oregon and back with the car and it ran very nicely, albeit a bit colder than the previous cars ive driven, but its ok.
The big announcement? it was supposed to be a video of me playing a game and doing commentary on it, but I think im going to have to make it post-video to get it up there, so I can watch it as it happens and get it out there. Anyway that was the big thing, but other things quickly got in the way.
Also ive had my iPhone for over a year now, and that makes me happy(though its sitting on my bed with a dead battery at the moment) but its been quite fun having my email and Facebook around all the time. I think im going to make this post short and call it a night since im having a hard time keeping my eyes open.
Good night everyone.

Early days, early nights
Yep, just like the title says, my shiny new job at home depot starts at 4am. Yes you read that right: 4am. However, the awesome thing? I get off at either 9am or 1pm. Awesome no? Gives me plenty of time for games and cleaning, laundry, ect. It's really different now; I have to go to bed at around 8pm
That's right, my schedule for sleep resembles a childs'. In other news, I got myself a car! I'm sure you've seen some of the pictures on FB. But for those who haven't, it's a 1996 Chev Corscia, and light blue, almost sky blue, and it's in really good mechanical condition; which is a plus.
I have insurance on said car, but it needs an oil change and I need to craft an emergency kit for it, in case the worst happens. I'm actually on my way to my insurance place to talk over some stuff.
Oh! On Friday we had a winter blast of cold air and snow. It came down everywhere! It makes me happy when I see snow falling, it glitters like diamonds. However, I do not like to shovel it. Please remind me that if I stay here in the Great North not to get a corner house...
