well not really, i think ima start slowing down on this blogging stuff, maybe b/c i really don't have anything with substance to actually blog about, I'm pretty sure folks read it, but i browse other folks blogs and see all the comments and then look back at mines and realize how bare it is, just makes me think sometimes. but even without comments, as long as they are read or even skimmed over then that's all good with me.

but yeah, I'm starting to feel like I'm falling back into a manotinous routine. get up at 3am....leave the house by 3:30....get to work maybe a quarter to 4. get off around 11 or 12noon, come home, run a few errands and go to sleep...then repeat. and hell on the weekends i try to go out but i usually end up catching up on the sleep i missed during the week. i really hate when i do that shit, b/c i had the same problem when i worked in a call center, but that was just sitting on my ass for 8 plus hrs listening to assholes over the phone. at least now I'm up on my feet moving around so i cant complain too much.

I'm only about 5 and a half months in the hole now but i feel like I'm ready for more now, I'm ready to move up. one of the clerks i worked with asked me if i was interested in a supervisoral position and i said yeah but the only draw back to that is that if i take it, the union will no longer have my back so if i ever get into some shit, I'm basically assed out. so I'm still pondering on it, and lately I've even been thinking about signing my name of the long list to become a driver. ive never really been the type to ask questions, just let the shit slide or find out on my own but with this job i find myself asking alot more. and by asking alot more, learning alot more, and by knowing alot more the more they demand from you.

like i said Ive only been there for 5 months and I'm already certified on numerous procedures, you'd think folks with 10 plus years would be doing. maybe they took a special interest in me or something, I'm always getting handshakes and pats on the back and "good job Travis" "keep up the good work Travis" i don't let those kind words get to my head b/c i know at any moment it can all be taken away from me and ill be back to square one. but yeah, i may get mad at times b/c I'm doing one thing and they call me over for another, i just take it all in stride and deal with it b/c I'm still getting paid and i know it'll all pay off in the end, if i got anything to do with it that is.

went and did early voting last week with my mama, thought it wouldn't be so bad, which it really wasn't but as soon as we pulled up to the voting polls, the line was way outside wrapped around the building. we stood in line a good two and a half hrs but they gave us water and this lady in front of us my mama started talking to generously shared her umbrella with us since it was hotter than a mug out there, but finally got in and i guess its all paper ballots this time around, had to fill em out (front and back) then feed em into a scanned machine that counted em i guess. felt good tho once we got out knowing i did a duty my folks fought for years and years ago to get. i am starting to wonder tho b/c as i ride around the city, the number of McCain/Palin signs outnumber the Obama/Biden signs, but that's all irrelevant, Nov.4Th will tell all.

other than that, I'm still slipping on this school thing, i been contemplating on maybe getting a second job and how that would interact with me going to school. all that's left on the check list is to take the CPT, do the finical aid paperwork and set an orientation date and talk to an advisor.
i really think i just need that little "push"...any takers?

I'm really starting to get deep into the whole world of digital photography, feels like it did when i started out in photoshop....took me forever to get DECENT at it, but it feels like Ive gotten DECENT faster with this. I'm going out almost every weekend for a few shots, learning new techniques and styles and I'm loving it. I'm still shopping around for an more advanced model tho, something with at least 10 mega pixels or above, which i know is gonna cost a pretty penny. but it'll be worth it

all in all, everything is everything, no matter how crazy the world is or whats going on right outside my door, i just keep it moving and keep on pushing. hey that's all you really can do right?
so i guess ill end this with a song Ive been playing alot lately that i can kinda relate to and as to no surprise its an old school joint.
