Autumn.....



Its falling. I think today i've finally realized that fall is here. It seems like everyone is falling. I have some very good friends, and life isn't going the way it should. Its a bummer. You would think that a world series in chicago and possibly a sweep would be signs of good things for the people of chicago...but its not.

Gosh, when you want something soooo bad, and you do everything that is required...and it does not happen...? What do you do? I think we're built on the belief that hard work entails prosperity, but i have to wonder sometimes. Thats a myth. Hard work? I guess it depends on the hard work...? Are you working hard for you, or are you working hard for someone else? I don't know.

Well, right now...life is good for me. I'm working and i'm still trying to learn. I haven't really learned much about pharmacy but i'm trying learn about death and taxes. You see, i'm trying to kill taxes : ) HAHA, i made a funny : ) I guess there is silver lining everywhere. SO the irony....

I met the pharmacist who relieved me from work today, and well...we started talking and it comes about she really wants to get rid of a place she's bought. Its on 16th and state. I think i could get a deal on it, cuz talking to her, you could just tell life didn't deliver things the way they promised. Comes to also present that friends and family are much more important than nice things (in her case, this condo). SO, she just closed on it and wants/needs to get rid of it. She wants to go back to michigan, and its sad. Its sad in what has happened to her and to my friends. Situations kind of the same for both, responsibilities at their jobs were both taken away and now both of them want to run away. I guess every day is a reminder to both them of how the place of work is now a place that reminds them everyday how work doesn't want them... : (

I guess it comes to my earlier conclusion that you don't want to be defined by your job. You can't control it, and if you define yourself by your occupation than, your -in essence- letting other people define you. I don't want that to happen to me. And i wont. I'll always think of myself as the super hero - BUT if i ever try to fly/jump out a window or a very high place, please stop me and my inebriated self. : ) But i guess the point of this pointlessness though is that its sad to see things not go well for those who work hard. : ( Not only does it stabb at the American dream, but man, i think it just stabs at being human.

Inherently flawed...AGAIN!!!! : (


So, i'm working midnights friday, saturday, and sunday from 10pm to 8am to be exact.

SO, i thought, i'll go out thursday night, drink, and get home around 3 or 4am. That way i'll kind of be on a night schedule. NOPE. I basically ended up getting incredibly drunk, and then puking last night as well as this morning. I hate puking. Or to be exact...dry heaving. : (

Moral of story: When working midnights the next day stay up...but don't drink.
Btw, thats not me and Mr. dandruffy, i now know how to post pics (but something tells me that you kind of figured that out : )

: ( BARRRRFFFFFFFFF

ASHISH MARRIED A CANADIAN!!!!! OH MY!



Yes, it is true. He did. And to celebrate the night, we are going to drink at Amardeep's place. I'm calling it amardeep's place or my brother's place for now on, cuz he has pointed out to me that he has done everything for the aparmtent so far. To be fair though, he has.

I know what your thinking..."BUT RD! Is there anything you can do to salvage and save yourself and one day, OH ONE DAY, call it your place tooo!!!!!!?????" Well, i'm glad you asked, and there is....all i have to do is get a coffee table. I would show a picture of a coffee table, but...i still don't really know how to put up pictures : ( SO insert imagination....here ------> "black coffee table"

yup, the solution to this place being my place would be to just get a coffee table. Who would have thought....Amardeep ofcourse! : )

SHOUTOUT: silent fart, thanks for making shirts!

Inherently Flawed.....

Man, i'll never forget this show called- i'm sure you guessed- thirty something. I could never figure out why people would watch it...and thirty seemed soooo far away. Now, its looming and things are changing. Ashish is getting married, another friend of mine is having a kid on the way, and another friend of mine is now....engaged!

SO, it struck me odd how a friend of mine broke up with her boyfriend. I was, ofcourse supportive, but also content. I guess i was happy that i don't have to worry about her getting "hurt" again by this guy...and then it dawned on me! If she's single, i'm sure you thought i was going to say...then i'll get with her but ABSOLUTELY not the case. If she's single then its like how everyone else used to be single. Mind you, that when i say single, i mean....not married.

Kind of interesting, but i guess its another sign how i absolutely refuse to grow up. Kind of like how i was putting together a desk last night, and i just absolutely stopped half way through. Not cuz it was hard (which it was) but because i just didn't feel the need for a desk at that point : ) I guess the point of the whole thing is that i still want to do the things of having fun (going out) as we did in undergrad, but the people which i would have undergone this task with are ever dwindling. Which means i must find new young hot single women to party with. j/k : ) NONE the less, i'm going to still play the undergrad and party in vegas on dec. 3 - 6 : ) I've got the days off! : )

WELL, last week was a great week. I've now experienced a massive contrast of working in the city and the suburbs. SAW SERENITY!!!!!

All i can say about that movie...IT DELIVERED! Dum-dum, who never even seen any of the episodes said it was great too! Plus i saw it with team!

Couldn't believe it though. Silent fart and dandruffy then forced me on a beer crawl which began at 7pm and ended at midnight. I made it back to chicago by 3am. Even though i left at 12:30am. You do the math...or i guess in this day and age,it would be considered the fuzzy math. : )

Bush sucks. OH! Went to a talk hosted by amnesty international. THAT WAS AWESOME. You heard from two lawyers working on the cases. Its funny, talking to chris later, he was making the point that you can't really take what they were saying, but they were describing factual events...not making stuff up, and it was then i realized...we live in a day and age where we give the written word and tv more credibility than we would from actual people who witnessed or experienced events. Kind of sad. Not kind of, it is sad.

Anyways, last week was a great week. I'm so tired though right now. Today was pretty intense at work, but since it was a good staff got through it. I was a little pissed at the tech though. I told him i was going to lunch (which really constitutes me finding a place to hide and sit in the pharmacy) AND THE GUY LEAVES THE PHARMACY! So i had to handle everything, which made no sense, cuz if your on lunch your suppose to be hiding in the pharmacy...not working.
Anyways, after an increase of work load, i paged him back. ARGH, i am still annoyed.

THEN, i never brought back the keys to the store i worked at yesterday, so i had to go there and drop off the keys. Kind of sucked : (

ANYWAYS...off to toronto tomorrow! I'm pretty excited about that. I've always wanted to see it. BUT, i haven't packed at all : (


AWESOME WEEKEND WITH TEAM!!!!! Too bad i had to come up with an inherently flawed plan which made me feel smart! (mental note to all, using big words with RD will lead to RD thinking he's doing something smart, regardless of what is said : )

RD : )
