Quick Hits

I know that technically Sunday starts the new week, and so I should have posted my second entry for last week before today, but let's just pretend on this one. I'm just gonna do some quick hits for this one anyway.

So, I got a second job. I had kinda been thinking about doing that for a little while, just to help me save more cash for a down payment on my house. I saw a help wanted sign at the little Italian restaurant by my apartment and thought that maybe I could work two shifts on the weekend, and maybe the occasional week night shift. I'm not sure whether I would have actually done it, luckily I don't have to find out cause I found a second job that I enjoy much more. Dealing poker. I've hooked up with a local event planning company to deal charity poker tournaments as well as the weekend freeroll tournament at the office. Right now the money is pretty good, not what I would like it to be, but I think that it will get better the longer I'm with the club.

Here are topics that I wrote down once as possibly making good entries, but which will never see the light of day now:
- The government spending money on public TV and radio stations, bad idea, leave that as a private market
- People leaving the country since Bush got re-elected, funny
- Liberal bias in universities
- Why can't intelligent design be considered science, science needs a new definition, it has been hijacked
- Scientists are trying to find out where sex came from, its a mystery to them because they through God out of the equation
- The phantom girlfriend itch, people who have limbs amputated say they can still feel them sometimes, does that translate to relationships too?

And now, for one of them survey/profile type things:

10 years ago: I was 13-years-old, in eighth grade at Webb Middle School. I worked on the yearbook and newspaper staff at school and had to decide that year what high school I was going to go to. Had my first girlfriend, that was quite the learning experience. Was still at Richland Bible Fellowship. Finally decided to go to GHS and do the IB program, that kind of threw my best friend for a loop as he was locked in to another high school, but we stayed friends through high school.

5 Years ago: I was 18-years-old and into my second semester of college. My first semester had been rough so I was trying to recover, get my GPA up and keep my scholarship. I was beginning to realize that computer science wasn't for me. Was into my second year at Springcreek Community Church and had just started the Acts 29 college group with a bunch of friends there. Was still working at Beckett and enjoying it for the most part. Still wasn't really sure what life as an adult meant yet.

1 year ago: I was 22-years old, had been at my first "real" job at Washington Mutual, since graduating college, for only two weeks and was still getting a handle for how everything worked. Was quickly making plans to move out of my parent's house and start living on my own, supporting myself and taking care of myself.

Yesterday: I was 23-years-old and I was still alive, so I guess everything was going well, eh? Slept in and then went to hang out with my two best friends at Skoots and then Chase Place. Good times, life is going well.

5 snacks you enjoy: Flamin' Hot Cheetos, ice cream with Magic Shell, Puppy Chow, Texas Dirt, chocolate covered pretzels
