Smile! You're at Mr. Smiley's.

Today was normal.

I worked at Anchor Blue from 9:30am to 3:30pm. A whole whopping 6 hours. It was mighty fun. I'm starting to get the hang of doing the register. It's quite interesting. This is my first real job, so everything is pretty exciting to me.

After that, I dropped by Olive Garden to see if the manager was in. I wanted to see if maybe I can squeeze my application back in for host since the thing with Red Lobster isn't working out. Her name is Cindy and she wasn't in, so they told me to come by next Wednesday.

After that, I hung out around the house. I picked up my mom at 6:10pm, then ate a hot pocket. At 7:30 I went out with my friend Emily to the Antelope Valley Fair. We thought the price of admission was $7. We were very wrong. The price for admission was FIFTEEN FREAKIN DOLLARS. This price included a wristband for all the rides. Neither I nor Emily wanted to go on any rides. We chose to forego the fair.

So we went to her house, picked up American Beauty. It is a movie. And yes, it's good. These past two days I've watched two great movies. Tomorrow I need to find another.

We watched the movie at my house after dropping by Panda Express for some Orange Chicken. Yum.

We watched the movie and the behind the scenes featurette on the DVD. Good stuff. Well that's it for today. More tomorrow.

I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die. First of all, that one second isn't a second at all, it stretches on forever, like an ocean of time... For me, it was lying on my back at Boy Scout camp, watching falling stars... And yellow leaves, from the maple trees, that lined my street... Or my grandmother's hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper... And the first time I saw my cousin Tony's brand new Firebird... And Janie... And Janie... And... Carolyn. I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday.
