Promotion Time!So on my quest to stay paid, i've hit a nice jump forward. I'm eventually taking over all the eBay sales for my company. You know what that means? I'm going to hourly with commission, which beats the hell out of straight commission. Obviously I was excited when I first heard about it this past friday.. so I didn't have a problem coming in on Monday. Sure, I only had one day off, but it's more money right? Yeah, it was. Unfortunately, I basically jerked off all day at work (not in the good way). I had the pleasure of an hour and five minutes worth of training, then I got slammed back into my old position. Today.. I did the same thing i've been doing for months, talking to crackheads. I have never been known for my patience, so i've approached my boss quite a few times over the day to ask how the process is going. He's a busy guy, granted, but still.. it appears that this whole position that I was offered was very quickly thrown together and now nobody knows what the fuck to do with me.. Great, now i'm all heated. I'll write back when I got some better news.

F'edI had this idea for either an underground video series, or an HBO show. Basically I need the ability to do, say and show anything I want. First, the show is called F'ed (as in Fucked). The premise is I have a few contestants ranging from homeless drug addicts, obvious transvestites, celebrities and college students. The show really doesn't have much of a agenda. That's the beauty of it. The contestants answer wierd random questions about life, politics and current events. They also partake in physical challenges randomly, like obstacle courses and break dancing competitions. They get points for correct or interesting answers to questions and for completing challenges. The person with the most points wins shitty prizes from our sponsors (usually from shady sex shops). The crowd usually drinks during the show, as do the contestants and the host (me). Kinda imagine Jeopardy meets Double Dare, that had an affair with Bum Fights and an American Undercover episode. Toss in alittle Jerry Springer for flavor with down and out celebrities. That's my idea for a show. Now all I need is some bums and sponsors..

Cinco De MayoI'm for a party as much as the next guy.. but an idea kinda struck me funny the other day. Living in southern california, there's alot of mexican cats. Cinco De Mayo is the Mexican independance day.. kinda like our 4th of July. It's funny how everyone.. not just mexicans are celebrating. It's just like St. Patty's Day, where everyone is Irish for a day. It's more of an excuse to get drunk. I'm not arguing with this.. I just found it funny. Either way, it's Cinco De Mayo, let's celebrate! Corona's for everyone!

Debt Free Bitches!My Mustang back in NY just sold at the end of this past week.. giving me enough money to pay back some old debt and give me some extra ends.
I'd like to suggest a moment of silence for the Mu-Tang..

Alright. With that done, I think it's time to get back to everyone's lives.
P.S. I actually jumped up and cheered to myself when I found out about the debt-free thing. I never do that.

Where do I begin?I really don't think that i've ever had a blog, let alone really ever followed one besides a few select friends of mine. I guess i'll start by telling a short bit about myself..
My name is Alex and I live in Long Beach, CA currently. I'm originally from western New York, a place that unless you're an outdoor kind of person, there isn't much to do. California has things apon things that I can do at any given time.. unfortunately it costs something. Because there's so many people out here, everyone is selling a service or product. That's what I do as well.. I work at a professional DJ equipment retailer, one of the largest in the world.
I've been coming to a point in my life where I have more questions than answers. A quarter life crisis if you will. I love living out here, but I am not making the kind of money that I need to live comfortably. I need an education or have a rich uncle that dies to have the kind of money that I need. That's where my dilemma begins.. but I digress.
More to come about my thoughts and maybe some stupid shit that i've been known to spit in the future.. thanks for stopping by kids.
