So, I've always been more of a night owl than a morning bird, though I'm not grumpy in the mornings either. I woke up for the day shift at my work for the whole month of May at 4:30am without one single problem. In fact, my parents were quite proud of me for being mature enough to get up on my own. I always thought that was a given (lol). I guess its just because my brother was really bad at getting up early/on his own, so of course NATURALLY I should be too right? Hah, NOPE.
Anyway, I've found it to be relatively easy to completely switch my schedule around for nights. I even stay up until 6:00am every day that I'm off too, but I'd try to do that when I wasn't working hah. Best part is, my parents can't say a thing about me staying up late! They'd always get mad at me for staying up super late, even on weekends, but now I'm like 'Yussssss, perfect excuse!' I also moved downstairs into my brother's old room, and now they can't even hear me so I don't need to worry about waking them up. (Unless I start screaming because I'm playing Metro 2033... lol)
Speaking of which, I've been trying to get up the nerve to begin recording a lets play series, or really just recording me playing anything in general. It honestly shouldn't be SO freaking hard for me, y'know? I'm hilarious(sometimes), and I talk a lot(around certain people), and I have the equipment to record. And yet, I'm completely dragging my feet. Of course, working for 12 hours a day, four to five days a week doesn't give me too much time until I'm off, and my internet is so bad I think it would take hours for render and upload...but I'm totally just being lazy..
Basically what I'm getting at is: Would any of you be interested in a video or two of me randomly playing a scary game or two? I'm not saying it's going to happen right away or anything, but it may in the future. Honestly, if you've been in a party while I've played a scary game it is one of the absolute funniest things you will ever hear (so I've been told anyway.) The only scary games I have are F.E.A.R 2 and Metro 2033 anyway, and yes I know some may not think those are scary but to me, they're terrifying lol! Also, the only time I'll have to play them will be after dark so that ought to be hilarious.
Anyway, I better wrap this up before y'all get bored. One last thing I'm going to mention is a dual comm I did the other day with mah buddy Adam! We just basically talked about E3 stuff and the new consoles. If you're interested just click here and watch the glorious-ness unfold! You should totally follow Adam on twitter as well ;) @adam7986
Have a goodnight guys and Happy Gaming!

Growin' On Up In The World
Well, its been about two months so I thought I'd check in with all y'all! :)
Things in my life are a bit different nowadays. I'm actually not going to return to university in the fall as was originally planned. Instead, I think I shall stick around my hometown and work for a year. I may decide to return in a years time, but I just don't believe university is right for me at this point. I wasn't fully committed as I should have been, and spent way too much time playing xbox... I know, not surprising. My grades were never good, and I ended up getting put on academic probation. Don't worry, it sounds worse than it is. A.P just means they are restricting the amount of classes I can enroll in to three rather than five, and I am required to take a course titled Student Success Program. I've actually already completed that course, so I wouldn't be required to do it again. If I were planning to go back, I could attempt to appeal my probation and get four courses rather than three, but meh. No need.
What other random information could I put in here to overload your brains... AHA! My job.
So I get home from UNI on April 20th right? Next day, first full day I'm at home, what do my parents do? Jump on my back about me getting a job. I honestly couldn't even enjoy ONE day at home just resting. Needless to say, I ended up going job hunting; I found a job in a record four days, and started April 27th. I worked for the whole month of May I worked 12 hour shifts four days on, four days off from 6am - 6pm. Sounds rough right? Well, now that I've been trained on days, I'm switched to nights, as I was hired for the night shift. Now I work from 6pm - 6am. I'm actually really enjoying working the night shift; there are a lot less customers, I can work at my own pace and I don't have any superiors hovering around my head. That, and half the time I'm literally just sitting on my laptop doing nothing. Right now I'm sitting here staring at my laptop and grinning like an idiot because I'm trolling Adam on Google docs! xD Too funny!
Anyway, so they had this event in the town where I live called the Relay For Life. Its where you walk around a track all night in support of cancer research. I used to have a team way back when with my family, but now they are getting older so they stopped putting the team together. This year I didn't go with a team, but I did hang out with a couple friends all night ^_^ One I hadn't really spoken to in person since September 2011. It was a great night and I'm so glad I went! I was up all night just talking to one in their vehicle. I didn't have a place to sleep, and I had to drive someone home in the morning so I couldn't really go home either. All in all it was a good night!
I feel like I should really put something else in this post.. I have a lot of lost time to make up for. I suppose I could explain my major absence from Xbox live in the past two months. So remember how I moved back from university on April 20th? Well, I live on a mountain, and because I live on a mountain I get absolutely horrid internet connection. Due to that connection, I have been virtually unable to play any online games, and often am unable to stay in a party. It is extremely frustrating and problematic. I even invested in an updated router but that didn't do much for me. My long term plans are to earn enough money to rent an apartment somewhere in town for a reasonable amount per month, and have a stable internet connection in said apartment. I now have a car, so living on my own is starting to seem a little more reasonable!
Well, I've wasted enough of your time, so I'll let you go on your merry way! Have an excellent night and kick some butt on CoD for me! ;)
