I turned 20 last Friday. I didn't really make a big deal about it. For some reason I didn't want to do any sort of celebrating at all. I'm certainly not enjoying this prospect of growing older.

Today was a crappy ass day. I was thinking about writing a lot about it and how I feel and shit, but now I don't feel like it. To sum up:
- I woke up and went to work only to find out that they weren't going to let me.
- My HD decided to up and corrupt itself into an unfixable state, forcing me to diassemble it, and now it won't even power on.
- My parent's computer has also decided to go screwey on me as well, first with that MSBlaster bullshit and now it also has corruption problems as well.
- To top my day off, my parents were arguing about some dumb shit and now they're mad at each other, but I'll see where that goes. Its not really my business anymore, now that I'm older.

This day has made my summer go down the crapper. I actually want to goto work tomorrow just so I don't have to think about shit, for a few hours at least.

Arnold is running for governor! Thats pretty cool. I'll vote for him. I know it seems trite to say you're going to vote for someone, especially because he's just Arnold but I think he'd make for a good governor, not just because he was Terminator. Which, by the way, was a very good third part and I recommend watching it. Plus, Claire Danes is in it and she's cute.

At any rate, my mom wants me to vote for Gray Davis and put him back into office, or keep him there, because she says that he's been good to state employees (she works for CalTrans) but I'll still vote for Arnold. Aside from the fact that he's Ah-Nuld. Last election he was the main proponent of that afterschool initiatives proposition that passed and provided funding for afterschool programs to keep kids off the streets. Plus, Arnold is Austrian and anytime you see him on TV doing interviews and stuff he always talks about how he came from a foreign country and believed that by coming to America he could become successful and obviously he did that. I like that about him, the fact that he still sees America as the land of opportunity and that the American Dream is still something that is attainable. I think that if he is put into office he'll bring a sort of idealistic outlook on things to California politics and though that may sound bad that he has no experience as to how things really work, his beliefs and work ethic will take him far. I think he'd be the kind of guy who'd be willing to try radical things, even though he is Republican. Maybe I'm just trying to justify voting a movie star into office.

Less Than Jake - The Science of Selling Yourself Short

Finally! Some good Dodgers news! No, they didn't win some games... unfortunately.

Malcolm Glazer, owner of the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has reached an agreement in principle to purchase the Los Angeles Dodgers from Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.

Haha! Finally a competent owner! Woo Hoo! Sure Glazer is ugly as hell... but he's an awesome owner. He does what it takes! He stole Jon Gruden from the Bucs and he'll do something just as sweetness for the Dodgers. Dumbass Fox and News Corp. Trading away Mike Piazza. But all thats over with now!

I went to Disneyland and California Adventure to play today since I'm not getting any shifts from work. Those bastards probably hired too many people. But whatever, I'm trying to remain upbeat about the whole thing because Disney seems like such a nice company. I figure I'm just going to get cross-trained for everything like the hat writing and the boardwalk games and if I'm trained for everything, how can I not get work? What happens if I still can't get work you ask? Well then I'll request to be transferred to Disneyland instead of staying in Disney's California Adventure since they seem to have all sorts of jobs and shifts available on that side of the resort. Bleh. I'm just old and bitter.

While at Disneyland today I was watching the fireworks and they play this song during it that has some part thats like "...hold onto your childhood..." or "...remember your childhood..." and that struck me as "magical." As a kid I think everything is just more magical and although I may have been brainwashed by Disney already (despite not working and all) I think that its great fun to see kids scared on the Haunted Mansion and see somebody climb up onto someone's shoulder to see Fantasmic. Crazy Disney brainwashing me with their music and stuff. I want to go back to my childhood, at least for a few hours.

Miles Davis - Someday My Prince Will Come

I recently rented Birthday Girl and I found it surprisingly pleasant. The movie is very unassuming and lowkey yet it is able to surprise and even have some comedic moments. Anyways, hopefully not giving away too much of the plot... The main character finds that he has to sacrifice everything to gain what he wants. And me, always thinking crazy and all, wondered to myself, "Would I be willing to make necessary sacrifices to take a chance at what I truly want?"
