So I have been getting more and more burnt out by work. Which is leaving me tired and exhausted before I even think about heading home. But it has spurred me to begin other creative ventures, and to go back to school. A lot of this will require me to be much better at time management than I have been the past few years. But the more I have on my plate, the more I tend to stick to schedules I make to ensure that I can get everything accomplished.
One of the things I have to do is set the expectation at work, that because of certain issues there, that I will be going back to school and that my time is limited to certain hours. No more working past the 8 hours that I only get paid for. I have invested far too many spare hours and extra thought and energy to that place. Time that would have been much better spent on my own future.
I have been listening to a lot more music the past two weeks. I purchased an MP3 player far below the usual list price. At times I wish I could just walk around all day with my own soundtrack playing as I have to deal with people. That must be one of the first signs of some form of mental illness. Oh and if you check out the link for the mp3 player, take a look at that girls ass. That would sell anything. I like that I can listen to the radio too. And it has a slot for expandable memory.
So having finally paid off my credit cards, I have been buying a few toys. But have still been finding the best deals possible. Now I can begin to save money and invest it so I can pay off my future school loans. Or should some miracle occur, be able to afford property in Southern California.

What can I say, the past few months I just haven't been in a blogging mood. One post each month is pretty sad. I could ramble on about the vice presidential debate, but while I watched it, I have been too busy looking for a new cell phone. People who know me know that I like technology, but I don't have to have the latest or cutting edge. My motto is you usually bleed with cutting edge, as in pay a premium. So I was looking at this phone at ATT, who is my current carrier. But I wanted more information on the phone so I checked out this same phone on the Nokia site. Imagine my surprise to find I can save about $200 dollars and still get the same plan and phone. For anyone looking at getting a new cell phone or service, be sure to check out the same phone through the manufacturer for better deals.
