work...

yup...that's where i'm at. just chillin'. don't actually start till 115p, but i figured why not? free internet, good people, a/c, and coffee...not too shabby. sad news is i close today and tomorrow so no men's figure skating for me. :-( i'm gonna try to find video online. i open thurs and have an early mid fri so i don't hav to miss the amazingness that is ice dancing...woo...woo hoo...(what? there's no sarcasm there...riiight...)

till next time...

la la la...

la...la...late night. so, not much big going down. trying to catch as much of the olympics as possible and working. sounds pretty boring, huh? it's not all that bad actually. today was much more relaxing than expected...thought i had work at 1 or 2, but turns out i didn't work at all. took an hour bus ride for naught. no big though, it was pretty easy and not as bad as i thought it might be. did work a little bit (finished tips for westwood and missouri) and got to chill at w pico and westwood and lindbrook with ryphy for a while. tomorrow i actually do close, so work at 115p till 930p (except since we're rockstars, we'll be out by 915p latest). not much else to report.

Insight...

A customer just said something beautiful to me. "The artistic conundrum is that our imaginations out pace our talents."

well...

i guess defense really does win championships. if it hadn't been for the single turnover in the game, it may very well have been the first overtime super bowl ever. well played on both sides. congrats to nawlins and condolences to indy.

xliv...

so...super bowl sunday is upon us. it's a tough day cause we all know the bolts should have been there, but it's still gonna be a great game. i'm looking for it to be a shoot out. two amazing quarterbacks and some good d. other than that, mythbusters kicks ass. i am sad to admit that i got a twitter account...it's all daniel tosh's (@danieltosh) fault. i decided i really wanted to follow him. i figured that as long as i'm no twitter now, i might as well follow a few others, too, so i'm also following @mythbusters, grant imahara (@grantimahara), adam savage (@donttrythis), and of course stephen colbert (@stephenathome). also, ryphy the great (@ryryguy). kind of rambling here...distracted by tv. i'm gonna go now & i'll be back at half time or after the game.

walking...

woowee...not too shabby. i walked from ucla to work (about 3 mi) carrying my backpack (about 10lb) in less than an hour. i love walking, i just wish it wasn't so time consuming. i'd walk everywhere if it was faster. other than that, i cut my close time down by about 20 min last night for my second close. if i keep it up, i'll be under half an hour by next week. nice! i also picked up a shift at the store right up the street from my apt for sat night. it's the store i saw eric mccormick and hank azaria chillin' out front of a few weeks ago. renee zelwiger is chillin in our lobby now and last night i helped libby from lost. la is bananas!

on a different note...does anyone remember xanga? that's what this feels like, except without knowing if anyone is reading it. haha. ah the olden days of xanga and live/deadjournal.

i feel a rant about starbucks (mainly the customers) is coming soon, so keep an eye out for that and if i don't write it, it'll definitely be in my next video. remember...you can catch those at youtube.com/btight99 or on facebook by searching "welcome to my life". thanks to all of you who have become fans...i'm over 20 now...who knew people found me even mildly interesting. :-)

thinking...

k, so i'm waiting for my laundry to finish and i'm bored and facebooking. I notice that i only have about 160 photos of me and i got to thinking...does that mean that my life is boring or that i should be much more active in documenting it or that i'm just not a vain person? thoughts?

till next time...

First close...

Holy moly! So tonight is my first close at my new store. When I got here today, it looked like it was gonna be smooth sailing. That only lasted about 3 hours. There was apparently some mixup with shifts getting covered for tonight and so around 4p I started scrambling to figure it all out. Luckily, everything is copacetic now, but it just goes to show nothing comes too easy in life, but if you just ride it out and go with the flow, it all turns out ok. also, my team rocks so much that we're still ahead of schedule. Woot!

January '10

So...here I am...waiting for my first installment to upload to youtube. It ended up being too big to upload here, so a simple text blog + link will have to do. It's been a wild and crazy month (hopefully not a portent for the coming year.) I'd like to think of it as the storm before the calm. We shall see. I'll probably start writing more and better now that it seems my vids will be too large for this site, but I guess that'll do it for me for now. Don't forget to subscribe to me on youtube @ youtube.com/btight99 and become a fan on the "Welcome to My Life" facebook page.

Till next time...

ps...also make sure to check out my friends' new web series "Sticks and Stones" @ youtube.com/sticksandstonesshow.
