if you order food from Red Robin, or other restaurant/diner, and its takeout, not eat-in, do you still have to pay tip? yesterday i ordered lunch from REd Robin at work, and i went to pickit up and i charged it, and there was a spot for a tip. now i think that was just cuz i charged it that it automatically does it, but there is no tip given, right?
and theres a black on black album, mixing Jayz and metallica. yea, mixing Jigga’s black album is fun, but its gettin old now. anyway, heres a link

Jay-Zeezer, inspired by DangerMouse’s grey Album, representin The Pine Valley. could use some work, but not bad for a first timer, then again, im no dj.
before i go to sleep and totally forget. i jsut came up witht his great idear. its for this scholarship, “one person can make a difference” the scholarship was on my mind. and this other movie/film idea was on my mind. but neither were related to each other, until now.
reminder to me: one person is the difference between heaven and hell. HA! got it! sweet!
last night was ICF Coffeehouse. it was good. had a good time. lotsa dances and ppl. no offense to the Busch Campus ICF crew, but i like the NJMTC Coffeehouse better. it was more intimate. the place was smaller and you had to bump into ppl and it was a better setting. this coffeehouse was in a big auditorium and it was eh. Still, it was a lotta fun.
we left from Shoes house around 6 and got to Rutgers Busch Campus around 8ish. i was ahead of everyone but got there bout 5 minutes after them. there were two entrances and i was at the other end, and whatnot. whatever. and im NOT a crazy driver.
they had a skit and it was about this girl whose parents want her to get married. at the end they break out into a well coreographed dance. it was prolly from some bollywood film. iunno, cuz i dont watch much of em. im thinkin i should? maybe not. neway, all the girls were into it doin their thing, but this one girl was REALLY into. she was superstar bollywood dancer, she put her whole body and head and everything into it. everyone else was just going through the motions kinda thing. The guys were good too, but no one was into it like that girl. Nina was in it. Go Nina!
Frontlynaz went up, they were good. the sound was off. we were sittin int he back and where we were the vocals werent comin in well. Around 10 there was a break for food. mm, good food. it was indian food, chore, chicken curry, njaan, other curries, good stuff. there was also lotsa chocolate.
There were a few more acts and Zoa got on at the end, last act. kinda sucked, cuz most people had already left. it was about 11:15 when they got on. it all ended around 12. we left and got to Shoes place around 2, home at 230.
When i got home my brothers were watchin Mad TV in the family room. iunno why they were up. i went upstairs and watched some short Indie flicks c/o Atom Films. and figured id stay up until i had to go to work. Work was at 6, so if i slept id have to get up at 530. around 3 i decided itd be best to get two hours of sleep, than no sleep and be dead tired all mornin. so i went to bed, woke up and went to work, early.
When i got there it was 545, very early. I have never been that early in the last year, maybe longer. 6 o’clock rolled around, and no one was to be seen, except the cleaning guy. i called my merch manager and left her a message, cuz she was the only manager whose phone i had. she came aroun 7, the manager that was supposed to open came around 715. it was surprising, cuz he is almost never late.
today we had a meeting for about 3 hours, so my work was really a whole lotta nuttin, but i got paid for all four hours. woo, no hoo. the meeting was about restructuring the way the company works. its a big change, we have 6 managers now, instead of 5. no, wait, 7 managers. dayum! and three of them are brown nosers, two of the three really get on my nerves, one of the two just UGH! and my former merch manger, shes now a supervisor and she had to take a paycut. what sux is she wasjust promoted. there are people in the store that have been around longer than some of these aholes, that i think should be given these positions. but whatever.
1130, i need to sleep. gotta get to chruch early so i can run sound. need to learn to read Malayalam so i can run the Malyalam song projections.
Did you know Malayalam is a palindrome? i know its an old factoid, but i wonder if its still a palindrome when you spell it with malayalam letters. hmmm… BTW, notice the title? got it from here.
im a lil peeved at myself. havent gotten around to finishing my Flash version of this site. Laziness is bad.
I was so tired today. i had work at 6 and they said that Brad Anderson, the CEO or pres or whatever of Best Buy, was comin. fo shizzle?! so everyone was on their toes working extra hard, until we realized it was prolly a scam by management or district HQ to get us to work harder. neway i left at 230 n he dint show up.
ever see the movie Seven? with Brad pitt and Kevin Spacey. its about a guy who kills people who have committed one of the 7 deadly sins. and the guy who was lazy, or a sloth, he was tied down to his bed so he coudlnt move and left to die and rot. there might have been more to it, been a while, but that was the general idear. (yes there is an ‘r’) he died and his body was eaten away at n what not. neway, joe at work said im gonna wind up like him, cuz i was being a sloth today.
the weather was so great today. we had a lil picnic outside for lunch, sat out in the parking lot on the side. we need to put a table n benches there. i drove home and actually had to turn on the fans and roll down the window.
theres this song by delirious called Heaven. its awesome. i love delirious. not enough ppl listen to them. i wanan play delirious songs with Tonal, but that’ll have to wait till summer prolly when we can actually practice.
i need a new hard drive. i found that if i get a RAID 0 setup on my computer my videos will encode and render lil faster. at least thats how the theory goes. plus, i need a 40 GB hard drive to act as my C: cuz my SATA drive wont work right with two IDE drives. i know, techno jargon. also need a camcorder so i can film stuff. seriously, should i be a film student?
iunno what happened to me. all through school i got great grades. i was such a geek, still am a bit. i got all As and a few Bs, up until 8th grade. thats when i got my first D. it wasnt too bad, it was Health, i just got lazy in that class. then 9th grade was mediocre, wasnt real bad, but got a few Cs. tenth is when i really fell off the smart train. not aht i got dumb, just my GPA fell and i dint work hard. early case of senioritis maybe?
i just looked at classes and said, what am i doin here? i did alright in english, math was eh, i enjoyed it, but i wasnt focused on it, social studies was always fun, and science was fun too. my problem was my work ethic. i just dont like workin on things that serve no purpose to me. i did my labs, but never turned in reports. i understood them, just dint want to do any more work, cuz it wasnt enjoyable to me entirley, and i saw it having no effect on my future. English, i liked writing essays, even if they were written last minute. i was, and still am, good at it.
i knew i wasnt going to be a doctor or a scientist or anything like that. i could if i wanted to, but i dint want to. i dont want a career where i have to work late into the night and around the clock at ajob i dont like just to make a ton of cash. i want to work hard at something i enjoy doing. if i become a doctor, it’ll be because i enjoy being a doctor, not because thats where the money’s at.
people always tell me that music is not a good profession. when i was a CS major they said CS is not a good field. its never about a good field, or good money with me. i do want that, but i want to ENJOY the rest of my life. i dont want any regrets about what i did or didn’t do, and that which could have been.
i do worry that im heading for a big let down, so im expanding my horizons, now im thinkin about going into film. iunno if i want to go to school for it, or just try it on my own. ive thought about MIS, and i very much want to work in a business environment, but the whole academic environment doesnt suit me. its ugh.
iunno, maybe ill just work retail for the rest of my life. what a drag. i jsut gotta get more disciplined.
OH WOW! Alias wasnt that great i thought today. i dont think that the actor who plays dixon is that great. but whatever. the story is movin so slow! but that ending, that last 10 seconds! HOLY CRAP! JACK DO IT! SOLVE IT! GRR!
they make it hard to tell if sloane really knows everyhting that goes on, or if he’s jsut good at figurin this stuff out. cuz he never really comes right out and says that hes workin witht he covenant or not, although all roads lead to that conlcusion. guess that leaves the writers a lotta options.
BUT WOW! great ending, but i friggin want more. next weeks epsiosde looks hot. a return to the classic action filled, undercover Alias.
I thought i should psot, seeing as i havent posted in 5 days.
it snowed again. thursday was another gorgeous day and friday, it snowed. i got up at 530 to go to work and everything was covered. it was nice. driving was slow, but i dint slip. got to work, it was still snowing. got outta work round 130, and there was barley any snow out. the sun had melted the snow on the pavement. craziness.
i got a DVD burner on wednesday. love it, just wish DVD Encoding was faster. it took an hour and a half to burn a 20 minute DVD. the actual burning took only about 10 minutes, maybe less.
from wednesday til friday night i was workin on a special project making a video for VIckie n Sheryl. it was great. i love workin on this stuff. If i had my own camera id be makin movies all day. i got scripts in my head that need to be made into movies.
im tryin to get all the church videos and make em into DVDs so i can edit them later as needed for anniversaries n stuff. need to get a Digital 8 camcorder, so i can film in Digital, and still play my old Hi-8 tapes. AND i need a DV camcorder, to enter the new digital age. but i REALLY want a Canon XL-1S. its a 3 CCD Camcroder. CCD is what makes the picture. the more CCDs, the better. most consumer cameras have one CCD.
neway, im watchin Trading Spaces: Home Free. love trading spaces. want to redesign my room. im so glad glenn n Justine won the first won. the youth pastor n wife from Orlando. i feel bad for the other team, another youth pastor n wife, but they werent as good as the Lavender team. i missed the last one. i love the color orange, but tonight, i think im rooting for light blue. their room looks hot, and their workin well together. orange is not working well.
ICF Coffeehouse on Friday, 26th. at Rutgers. apparently ZOA wants me to run sound, which is alright i guess, but i just found out thats what they wanted me to do. those sneaky bat-turds. ah well.
hmm, maybe telecomm is my calling. perhaps i should be a film student. ARGH! this sux. if i had money, i woudlnt need a degree, but i need a degree to get money. stupid Catch-22.
later
I return to double blogging on both my xanga and my site. i might do this every now n then, jsut cuz i dont ahve much to use on my xanga.
my attempt to convert this to Flash has hit a road block, but im sure i can work around it.
T.O. IS AN EAGLE! I was at work today and i was setting up the projection TVs. (those DLP HDTVs are sooo nice) and ESPN was on the satellite feed, and they were talkin about every philly team cept the flyers. phillies lookin good, AI is not happy here, but hes the only good thing here, and of course, TO and the 9ers/ravens trade. there was talk about how today they might veto the trade or whatever, and that then there would be talks witht he eagles. i get out of work at 230 check my phone, and Koshy sent me Text messages that TO is an eagle! i was flippin out!, #81, emerald jersey, FLY EAGLES FLY, ON THE ROAD TO VICTORY! E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES!
what really surprises me is that all we had to give up was whiting to the 9ers, and 6th round pick to the ravens. seems pretty cheap. maybe koshy got it wrong when he told me?
the weather here in philly is CRAZY! i love it, i do. yesterday was so nice, like high 50’s i believe. beautiful, sunny, bright, clear. today, snow n freezing rain. HUH? whatever, i dont mind. im one of those crazy fools who likes the snow. Just need a 4×4 to drive in it.
