Hooray! An Update?!

Yeah, so I haven't posted to my blog in a while. I haven't been really busy or anything, it is just a lack of effort on my part. That is pretty much the story of my life, but that is how I am sometimes. My biggest problem is that I want to do too many things at once. I start one thing, find something else that seems more interesting, waste a good few days to a week on it, and then finally realize that it isn't worth my time. Enough about that though, I want to briefly go over a few things that have happened since the last time I posted.

The Pistons won the NBA Championship and Detroit didn't burn down, so that is always good. I would have liked to see the MVP of the Finals go to Ben Wallace, but Billups was also deserving. The Pistons should be around for years to come, and if they can re-sign Sheed, they will definitely be back next year. The only thing I hate about the success of the Pistons is all the bandwagon fans. I have been a Pistons fan since the days of Grant Hill, which isn't a very long time, but I am only 20. Even before Grant Hill was a Piston, I remember rooting for the Pistons, but I didn't really begin to understand basketball until the Pistons drafted Hill. I must admit though, basketball is not my favorite sport, hockey and football are my top two, and baseball is slightly ahead of it, but it is still entertaining nonetheless.

Okay, that covers everything I wanted to say about the Pistons, so I will be moving on to my next subject. Well, work has been pretty interesting lately. It seems that the owners want the employees to start wearing 7-11 shirts and name tags, which shouldn't be a big deal to me, but for some reason it is. I don't know, I just don't understand the point of it I guess. I mean, do customers really care if I am wearing a shirt and name tag? Would you not go to a certain 7-11 just because the employees weren't wearing 7-11 shirts and name tags? I can hear the people now, "Let's not go to that 7-11, they don't wear the proper 7-11 ensemble." Listen, I am behind the counter the majority of the time, I think people know that I am an employee of the place. When I'm not behind the counter, I am usually working on something, so it should be fairly easy to tell that I am an employee. That probably isn't the point, but that is my point to the owners. There is probably money in it for them, so that is all it is about. I just wish the owners would come out and say it is for the money, instead of making up some bullshit excuse about how it required in the new contract. I understand that it is required in the new contract, but I know they are getting more money for having their employees wear the 7-11 attire. How about giving me a God damn raise with some of that money? Yeah, like that will ever happen....

Summer is the time of year for graduation parties. I have been to a few over the past week and I have my sister's party coming up next Saturday. I am really looking forward to next Saturday, it should be nice to see some family members that I haven't seen in a while. It is also fun to watch people get drunk of their ass. I personally don't drink, I have tried it a few times and still can't understand what the big deal is. Would anyone care to enlighten me? I mean, I never did it by myself, I always had people around me when I was drinking, but I never felt like I was having more fun than when I was sober. Maybe I was with the wrong people, but I highly doubt that. I have no problem with other people drinking though, I like to watch how people act, in general, and I especially like to watch how drunk people act and react to certain situations.

I have exhausted most of my time before work, so I will end this post now. I would promise to update more often in the future, but I don't know if I can make that sort of commitment....
