The new jazz

So this is it. i was inspired to make some changes. like the slogan at the top of my page and adding some links. but the one thing that actually needs explaining is the work stats on the right hand side of the page. basically what it is is a counter for various things that happen at work to me or done by me or somesuch...it's mostly for me to keep track more then anything else so i put it here. yup, i hate html no matter how simple it is.

\Met`a*mor"pho*sis\, n. [L., fr. Gr. ?, fr. ? to be transformed; ? beyond, over + ? form.] A change in the form or function of a living organism, by a natural process of growth or development


I've come to a pont in my life where I view the world through different eyes, and I've actually changed. For starters, I'm getting into shape, the thought of sitting on the couch for an entire day and playing video games doesn't interest me anymore, I get anxious and the desire to go out and do something, going to the gym at MacEwan or running....whatever, it gets a hold of me because I don't want to be the poor bastard who's 28, balding, lives on delivery in a run-down hovel and boasts about his "keg" at work. Secondly, and this will shock all of you.......porn and masturbation have lost all novelty, I can't see how but they have, I've deleted every trace from my computer, and cancelled all my free email subscriptions and what not, and since I didn't have any magazines etc. there was nothing to burn......now I am a little disappointed in that but I think I'll manage. But the thing that shocks me, though it probably won 't shock any of you......you probably won't care, is that fact that I feel the need to go out and find somebody, now this scares me, it really does. One of the greatest fears is the fear of the unknown and those that knew me in high school know that I never had a girlfriend, I never had anything close, yes there were a few "incidents" but those........never led to anything, ergo they have no bearing on anything. But it's funny because, you finally meet someone and you think things could really work, but..........guess what, they're already taken. I guess it comes from years of saying that "Lady Luck is my Bitch." Haha, and I thought I'd never change, that I'd be an asshole for the rest of my life, a prick forever, getting even worse with age............guess I was wrong.

My oh my, what a week it's been

first thing's first, on tuesday was my first day of college, oh yes.....Errol is going to college. But that's not all, the program i'm in is very specialized. A) I can't really drop classes without completely fucking up my chance at graduating from the program B) I have to take a language, I'm taking Mandarin....that's right, Mandarin C) along with that, I still have to take an English class D) on top of that i have all sorts of business classes E) Grant MacEwan is utterly TEEMING with tighties, I'm talking like goddamn hotties that you would give up 20 years of your life just to get the CHANCE to fuck one of them, but the greatest part of it is, after my 2 years are done, I get F) THE PRACTICUM!!!!!! where I go over to asia and work and live and get to experience things that most people have trouble dreaming about...oh ya, it's happening


adios for now............Errol

Advice for the young

Alright so once again there's been a bit of a lull in my posting, there are reasons for that but not ones that I would mention here. Why? Because this is my place where I rant about nothing really in particular to no one specifically and the majority of the stuff I post here won't really give you too much insight as to who I "am". That's what I put in my journal, and if you want to read that you have to ask me and I have to decide that I think you should be able to read it...In other words if I haven't already told where it is, it's VERY unlikely you will ever know.

But alas now on to the actual reason for this blog...

When I say young, I don't mean really young but just those who are barely underage (aka 17). As I've mentioned in multiple posts previous to this one, I work at a liquor store, and every Friday and Saturday night we now get an inflow of teenagers bent on buying alcohol to get drunk. Unfortunately what these people have in determination they more then offset it with a lack of common sense. So I've decided to give advice to all you would be bootleggers and underage drinkers out there to help you in your quest to "drink yourself stupid". Why am I doing this you might ask? Why am I helping people do something that is illegal? Because while I'm amused by the stupidity that some people exhibit, I'm tired of people being mad at me for doing my job. So I will number off some key rules...

1. If you're underage, get someone to boot for you. I don't care how good you think you're fake ID is or how close of a resemblance you think you have to the person in it. It generally won't work and isn't worth the trouble.

2. Don't try to talk the cashier into letting you by. They won't let you by no matter how much you tell them to "be cool", there's a 750$ fine if they sell alcohol to a minor.

3. Any little "trick" you think will work to get the person to not ID you probably won't work. This includes asking if there ae still job openings, leaving your ID in the car, or "assuring" them that your of age (all 3 have been tried on me and failed horribly). I once reiterate the 750$ fine.

4. If you have a friend that's booting for you first of all give him or her the money BEFORE you get to the store, not while he is standing outside the car about to go in and not even IN the car parked out front...Which brings up the next point.

5. Don't park right in front of the store, because yes, they CAN see you and are watching you and your 3 other friends that for some "unexplainable" reason didn't come into the store with you.

6. If you're overage but don't have your ID but are with a friend, DON'T pass them the money for your purchase. That just means that they won't be able to buy anything either. Just have them pay for it then and pay them back later.

I seriously could keep this up for much MUCH longer but I grow bored of it. I hope it helps a bit.
