2:11 am - Insomnia Mania
|
Well, I am in hour 17 of a 24 hour film festival named "Insomnia Film Festival." It is an interesting experience to say the least. But the team as a whole that I pulled together was amazing at what they have done so far. Likely for the remaining hours.
That's right. I have been going since 7AM yesterday and might go possibly to 9am today. And then collapse for a few hours then hold a game that I always do for a few people.
Once again, I couldn't have done this without my team. They were awesome throughout.
current mood:  tired

1:33 am - Regarding Chris Benoit
|
For those of you that don't know or don't follow Professional Wrestling, Chris Benoit was highly respected among his peers as one of the greatest performers in the ring of all time. Few could match his technical skill and few likely ever will.
Today, Chris was found in his home, dead, along with his wife and son.
As any fan of the WWE would tell you, this made me a bit distracted at work and a bit saddened. Raw tonight was a tribute show to him and his family. But more details just came up.
The Fayette county Sheriff's Department has ruled the incident to be a Double Murder-Suicide, with Chris being the person that killed the two, then committed suicide.
Until all of the details come out, I will likely be slightly sick to my stomach and still saddened.

2:47 am - Combination Downfall
|
I don't know what caused it. I seriously don't.
It caused me to think about how I can't move out of the house. I'm too poor for that.
Because I don't have a job. Because no one will even give me a chance.
Like JET. Failing to get into JET has now come back to haunt me. And here I thought I was doing a good job of forgetting that.
Why can't I get a normal job that doesn't relate to my degree?
Because that's not related work experience. I would be taking a shitty job that makes me look even worse than I do right now. I would feel like absolute shit at the same time.
Thoughts of joining the National Guard come back in, but the thoughts of being led by someone I can never trust. Bush. Makes me violently ill.
All of these cards in the house of my mind have fallen. And I have entered a depression, the level not reached since around the last semester of college. I have taken a leave of absence from most of my games. Only trying to stay regular on VL because I promised I would. The rest just upset me further.
And for the person who scours my journal for any signs, even though there is one now, I ask you not to worry. I have to figure this out on my own and don't want you to worry about me. This person knows who they are as we talked about it recently.
Vince out.

DATELINE! BOSTON!
Weird, creepy pixelated monsters were found ready to bomb Boston on the 31st of January!
-----
This is the worst. Seriously. I now actually feel like I belong to one of the dumbest countries in the world. Oh. I felt that way before. But this has solidified it. I can't believe that people in this country are THAT scared that these things were actually mistaken for bombs. "OH, but only YOUNG people would have recognized it!" Bullshit. Tons of people grew up seeing some signs that would look like this, or having Lite-Brights at home! It makes me regret even more that I lost my chance to enter the JET Program. Although I appreciate some of the culture here, I do not appreciate that we jump at everything we don't recognize. It's horrid. Rant over.

2:43 am - Defeat, again.
|
For the second year in a row, I have been rejected for the JET Program.
I know what some will say. Do not let it get to you. You were supposed to do something else with your life, and this is a sign.
I don't feel that way.
The last 7 years of my life have been spent wanting to join the JET Program. That dream survived all through the rest of High School and College. The worst time of my life and best, respectively. I thought I had done everything right to get in. Give myself a small edge with the Japanese minor. Didn't limit myself to one location. Kept the application in top order and used the best references at my disposal.
The first time was acceptable. I was a new applicant and couldn't expect to compete with all of the names.
The second time was not. I had showed determination. Sent in my application earlier than I did last year. Used better references by subbing in an English Teacher for the former TCOM reference. Didn't seem overly excited or dedicated to it.
Then why does this hurt this badly?
A limited group of people sitting in an office in Washington has decided to destroy those seven years. That's why.
I don't get to help others.
I don't get to see the world.
All of my dreams were just that.
Broken and defeated.
current mood: Defeated

Found out they put Jasmine to sleep last week. For those out of the know, it is the family's cocker spaniel.
God FUCKING damnit, my life is turning into a DAMNED Country song.

8:00 pm - Rushing toward a cliff!
|
Well, this is the final semester of my College career.
Five years down the drain and I have grown so much from where I came before. A recluse roaming the halls of Mt. Vernon High to a semi-outgoing person at Ball State.
As I write this, I think of friends that I will be missing when I leave here. Friends from the Keep that I have no way to get in contact with. Already have lost a friend in the fray named Guy. He disappeared sometime when he was cohosting the Warzone along with Jared and myself. Live on, Rey and the Rock.
Jared is a friend that I met while inquiring about a Twisted Metal: Black sign on his door in Tichenor's fourth floor wing. We all liked wrestling and the Warzone was just getting started at WCRD. I thought my voice sounded horrible all on it's own and I know the Warzone would have failed in the beginning if it hadn't been for Jared and Guy. It didn't matter that I was at the board, I felt that each of us had as much time on the mic and were equal hosts of the show. At least I hope that is what I conveyed. If not, I'm sorry for being an ass. Jared has been there though for the whole run. I definately thank him for that and everything else. The trips to the Halo 2 lab. Making fun of The Mad One at his bitching and moaning and the cursing out of two particular Asshats in the PC lab. The Random Trips to the movie theatre and the DDR machine at the mall. And definately the Crab Battle yells from his car. No doubt, thinking back on all the friends that I have made, I think Jared is the best as we get along on equal terms. Once again, I hope. And I do hope that we end up in Japan at the same time with the JET program. I have a feeling we both need out of this country bad.
As for my friends at the Keep, they made me feel equal for some of the time, but there were times when they made me feel lower than I should. Adventuring on World of Warcraft is fun though and I hope to keep that up through my trip to Japan.
I know it is early before the Graduation begins. But I needed to get this off my chest. So there.
current mood:  The Emo face is high.
current music: Paul Oakenfold - Ready Steady Go
