    Well, well, well...
    *Blows dust off the cover*

    Now to write a new... "non-significant" entry into my LiveJournal. Well... I thought I was never going to post in this online journal again, but I think I will... sometimes. Sometimes there are just some crazy, funny, and/or stupid things that you've just gotta post about. Sometimes you feel better if you type it all out, even if no one bothers to read it. Sure there are tons of things I could put into this entry, but I'm not going to put them here now. The only thing I've gotta say is ... I'm back... to writing in my LJ... OCCASIONALLY. lol.

    So for those who care to read... *Raises glass for a toast*

    Here's to intermittent updates in the near future...

    Hugs and such,

    Robert

    Long time no entry...

    So yeah... It's been a pretty long time since I've updated my Livejournal.  I really have no rhyme or reason as to why I'm choosing to make this post other than the fact that I had a pretty fun night at karaoke.  (Yes... I suppose I'm a karaoke addict by now - surprisingly though, because I've always thought I'm pretty shy!)

    So tonight ... karaoke was really funny.  Usually we just pick whatever songs we wanna sing and sign up for them, and that's that.  My first two songs I sang were "Baby Got Back" (my usual) and "What She's Doing Now" by Garth Brooks (I'm always so tempted to change she's to he's and hers to hims... but I don't know if it'll go over well....I am gay)  Well then later Anthony (my friend, the karaoke DJ) decided that we were going to do "themes" in rounds.  The first 'theme' we used was 80's music.  Now ... I was born in 1983, so basically I couldn't remember anything that I was 'sure' was from the 80s...  So there were some good picks such as "Sweet Dreams" by Eurthymics & "Lean on Me".  So what do I pick?  "Holding Out For A Hero" by Bonnie Tyler... VERY funny, but not quite so horrible as it could've been!

    So the next theme was ... Michael Jackson songs.... hilarious.  Not just us people singing the songs... but Anthony and various people throwing down Michael Jackson dance moves.  (Especially when my friend Crystal sang "Thriller").  I chose to sing "Beat It", during which Anthony just had to make me laugh by imitating the knife fight in the music video. (Lol)

    The last theme was (actually Crystal's suggestion...heh) Boy Band songs!  Oh lots of fun to be had.  Crystal sang "bye bye bye" by 'N Sync, and there was Sir Charles who sang "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys... I forgot what Anthony sang - I signed up to sing "Shape Of My Heart" by the Backstreet Boys and started singing the song.  I decided to be sorta funny and during singing the line "Hold me now...." I ran over to Vicki and grabbed her tightly and was like "don't let go"  - So Anthony decides "Ah hell no... we're stopping this right now... I know what you're singin!" I was a little worried there for a minute, but then I see the song title for "Larger than Life" show up on the screen.  I totally forgot about that song, and I had so much fun singing it and it got me in a happier mood, almost near dancing.  (And for someone who doesn't dance due to lack of rhythm, that's pretty good.)

    All in all karaoke was really fun.  I 'kicked off' the official Christmas karaoke songs by singing the "Redneck 12 Days Of Christmas" and Vicki sang  "We Wish You A Merry Christmas".  And Crystal closed out the evening by singing one of her new songs she wrote .... It's always great to hear her sing her own songs, especially acapella... she has a beautiful voice.  She's a very talented singer/songwriter, and I hope she makes it big someday (soon).

    Not much else I'm going to write about in this post (such as how things are in my life).  Just know that I'm doing pretty okay and I think I'll make it through yet another year...  Just do me a favor - post a comment if you read this.  Maybe if people are reading and wanna read about stuff I do.... maybe, just maybe I'll post more!

    Hugs and such,

    Rob

    Just imagine a better title here ...
    I'm not ready to publicly post all the things that are happening with me... so I guess more or less this is an uninformative update. Just got back from a good night at Denny's and that cheered me up a bit. Things happen for a reason and realistically it's all the small things adding up that's getting to me.

    I really think I'm ready to try and turn over a new leaf --- change some things that need changing, nothing drastic, but who knows.

    That's all for now --- no need to worry about me - I'll be fine

    Mmm... chocolate
    Only one more day til the opening of the new 'Charlie & The Chocolate Factory'. I'm not really THAT psyched about it, but I am definetly interested in seeing it as soon as possible...

    Today was basically a good day - got to drive the new Jeep Liberty my mom bought. I liked driving it! (And for those of you who know me, you know I don't really like SUVs, I'm a car person.) Had dinner at Golden Corral which was semi-disappointing, but what to expect of the quality of food from an 'all-you-can-eat buffet' for $10?

    Luckily Erica called me and we got to hang out too =) She met my mother and I at dinner and then we decided we were going to go see a movie. (It's a shame Lissa couldn't join us.) We decided to check out 'Bewitched'... To be honest I had no expectations of the movie, but it was slightly disappointing because it was far too short (in my opinion) and seemed to lack plot/character development. I'm not a movie critic so I'll just quit while I'm ahead.

    To just end the post -- I feel like my life is slowly falling apart, and one day I'm going to wake up and it's all going to be gone... It also sucks to have someone on your mind...and you don't know why they're there, they just are. But that's another story...

    Hopefully the first of many more frequent updates ... but we'll see

    *Hugs*

    "I Wanna Talk About Me"

    Well .... long time no update - no surprise there eh? Well... tonights "topic" is actually a song title ... a title of song sung by Toby Keith. Why a Toby Keith song you say? Well... because I just got home from the AWESOME Toby Keith concert! (A coworker of mine had an extra ticket and wanted someone to go with ... talk about me being lucky. Her having an extra ticket and me having a free evening ... coincidence I think not... lol) Only the second time in my life I've ever been to a concert, it was great fun. He (Toby Keith) performed some AWESOME songs with great special effects on stage and a LOT of feeling to the music (gotta love the pounding base and screaming electric guitars).

    Not much going on here in the my world. Still alive. Still single. Still me. Suppose that is a good thing though... one or two of the three anyway. So not much of an update here, but I thought I'd close this entry with a pointless list of things I feel most people have done that I haven't (or that i've only done a few times, whereas the average person has done so more in their lifetime)

    **I've only been to a Circus once (not as a 'child' but as a teenager actually... at least it was Ringling Bros)
    **I've only attended two concerts (including tonight... as the 2nd concert - pay attention to the LJ post...jk)
    **I've never seen any PROFESSIONAL plays/theatre events
    **I've never been to any PROFESSIONAL (national) sporting event
    **I've never been outside of the United States (not even to Canada, eh)
    **I've never "formally" gambled (slot machines, card games, etc - a la casino type gambling)
    **I've never seen any Star Wars movie entirely (NONE of the new ones, vague FEW parts of the older 3 movies)
    **I've never had a girlfriend and I only had ONE date with a girl... freshman year of high school... that's it!
    **I got kissed by a girl ('french kiss') when I was 9 (almost drowned... it was a forced kiss) BUT...
    **I didn't kiss a boy ('french kiss') until I was 22 (actually April 2005...) -- I waited so long, due to intimidation mostly (fear of being a bad kisser)
    **I haven't been clubbing since April 2004
    **I haven't flown on a plane since July 2000

    **Only states I've ever been to/passed through (I skipped states I've only flew over, counted ones I've driven through):

    New Jersey
    Delaware
    Maryland
    West Virginia
    Virginia
    Washington D.C. (I don't think I've been to DC for... has it been over a year? Odd I know since I live so close)Tennessee
    Arkansas
    Texas
    Georgia (Atlanta airport ONLY - who hasn't fucking changed planes in Atlanta?!?!)
    Florida (only flew from Dallas, TX to Tampa, FL - flying over states does not count)

    I think that's enough random things to post about - please leave comments...

    Reflections

    Thank goodness I have the next three days off.  (Friday/Saturday/Sunday)   It's been a while since I've had three days off in a row.  Now if I can pull some plans together and do something fun and/or productive over the course of the next three days, I'll be happy.  The original plan was to go up to Lancaster, PA on Saturday, shop, spend the night camping in my family's new RV, then head back home Sunday.  Plans changed... my sister is leaving to go to California to see her best friend, so we all decided it would be best to see her off.  I have no problem with that whatsoever - I wasn't really psyched about going to PA anyway.

    I got to hang out briefly with my friend Phill ( [info]badqueermonkey  ) - who I hadn't seen for quite some time.  It was definitely good times to just sit and talk to him.  *Smiles* 
    (Oh by the way, [info]skacubby  we sat near our favorite bag of fries at that McDonald's .... she's still hot as ever.)

    I'm still trying to work through the ups and downs in my life... and I think I will grab back control of my life 100% by mid-June.  By then I hope to have all my fiances in order, a possible promotion, tax refund check, and other personal thoughts in check.

    I shaved all my facial hair off yesterday (Wednesday evening) ... I don't know if it's staying off or not.  I just got in a really weird (not good weird, but bad weird) mood and decide to just take the razor and just chop it off....

    And finally in closing I just want to say some positive things about myself... I am one of the sweetest, nicest, and caring friends anyone could ever have ... and I greatly appreciate all of those who know that.  This part just goes out to those that will probably never read this... If you don't take the time to know me, you will never know how wonderful of a person I can really be... I can't wait til guys take time to look at the whole package (personality + looks) --- sure the wrapping paper might not be as pretty, but take time to look inside the box and you might be surprised at what you'll find.

    That's all...

    *sigh*

    I have a feeling that this weekend is going to be a rough weekend. I work all weekend (1pm-11pm Saturday and 10am-8pm Sunday). I know those seem like REALLY long shifts but we get 1 hour for lunch so its ONLY a 9 hour shift.It wouldn't be so bad if they would actually give us our (paid) 15 minute breaks (we're supposed to get TWO per 8hr shift)... Or if they would give us our meal breaks on time (Like today I go in at 1pm... I bet I won't get lunch til 6:30/7).

    Well I guess that's enough of a rant


    Well I'm off to get ready for work...

    This isn't organized, but its an update... So read it =)

    This update is pretty much just going to be a few random jumbled thoughts.

    Today is my one year anniversary of working at Lowe’s. I’ve also been spending a lot of time as the cashier in Outside Lawn & Garden, which means my hair is becoming blonder. (My hair naturally highlights during the summer, guess I’m just lucky.) Also, if I can keep up my good behavior** at work, I should hopefully have a promotion by the end of June. (**Good behavior = being on time… those of you who know me, know that I’m not always such a punctual person.)

    I’m hoping I can get around to doing some fun things this summer with friends and family. I definitely want to go to King’s Dominion (a ‘local’ amusement park I usually go to during the summer) – but I would also like to maybe hit up Cedar Point (in Sandusky, Ohio – the roller coaster capital of the US). I also might take a few trips with the family (in the RV) up to Pennsylvania and perhaps to visit my father in Texas.

    In randomness: I feel good about myself and I like who I am… definitely better than in the past. I thank all of my great friends for that.

    In closing …. I hope this is the best summer ever for all of you! (And I hope the entire rest of the year goes well for you as well.) I will update soon (or at least before another month passes... I promise.)



    And to leave on sort of an inspirational note… here is the chorus to a country song that I’ve found to be helpful when you just think things aren’t going to work out...


    "The Impossible” by Joe Nichols

    "Unsinkable ships sink
    Unbreakable walls break
    Sometimes the things you think could never happen
    Happen just like that
    Unbendable steel bends
    If the fury of the wind is unstoppable
    I've learned to never underestimate the impossible"


    *Hugs and such*

    Spring is here.... I think

    Not much content to this entry.  Just the fact that I'm really excited that today and the next few days are going to be gorgeous (weather wise).  I had a really busy weekend (work was slammed, but hey that's expected since it's retail).  Although this weekend, we didn't make as much money (the store as a whole) as we did last weekend.  (Last weekend we sold $953,000, this weekend we hit only about $800,000 - at Lowe's)

    Also just wanted to say a special hello and welcome to [info]samserio .  He's a really cool, sweet, caring guy.

    Anywho... that's about it.  Maybe I'll update sometime again soon, just maybe.  No promises made, none broken.  Am I right?

    Just some random thoughts…

    Just wanted to post some random things in my LiveJournal… I don’t say a whole lot here often. (As you can tell by the amount of time between updates!) Anywho…

    So since my beloved dog Prissy died on January 29, 2005… we have had another dog death – Lacy died on Friday, March 25, 2005. Both Prissy and Lacy were older dogs, but it would be much nicer if both of them were still here. I hope that they’re in doggy heaven watching over my family and me. Hopefully when I die, I will once again be rejoined with my beloved family members and pets.

    Paula (my sister) had her birthday on Saturday, March 26. She is now 20! I feel so old (but heck I’m only 22). I feel bad that I couldn’t afford to buy her a present or anything, but hey what goes around comes around. *Smirk*

    Spring is finally here (I think)… I can’t wait to get to go to King’s Dominion and ride all my favorite rides again! I can’t believe how crazy I get over roller coasters and thrill rides. I guess everyone has their hobbies and things that they like, so it’s just normal. Although I do think I seriously need to lose weight before going to an amusement park, otherwise I may not fit comfortably in the ride restraints.

    Finally…I can’t believe how long I’ve been single. It’s kind of slowly destroying my hopes of actually ever finding a boyfriend. I know that finding a bf shouldn’t be on my list of priorities, but it has ALWAYS been on the agenda for me. Maybe I’m one of those people that it is a goal in life for me to be loved and to love someone in that capacity. Or maybe I just need to be shot, one of the two. *Raises glass of wine* So here’s to hoping that Spring/Summer 2005 will bring me a nice guy to date. I really don’t know if that will happen, because I personally believe that I wouldn’t know a guy wanted me (or was flirting with me) unless he hit me over the head with a sign that says “I like you”.

    I guess that’s all people …… comment if you like, If not … don’t *shrugs*

    I never thought I would ... but I did

    Just an update (finally) …

    Tonight I had lots of fun.  I went out to Champp’s Restaurant and Bar with Erica and Lissa.  I had planned on just watching the karaoke fun and partake in a few non-alcoholic beverages, but that changed.  Lissa left early, and (un)fortunately she missed me singing karaoke…  I said I’d never do it, unless I was drunk.  Guess I was wrong!  I decided to sing “Friends In Low Places” by Garth Brooks.  Erica said I did ok, but I bet she was just saying that to not make me feel bad.  I didn’t get booed and I most certainly wasn’t the worst act, but I don’t feel that I did great.  Maybe I’ll sing at karaoke again in the future, who knows.

    Speaking of things I thought I’d never do… maybe I should include a little mini-list of things I said I’d never do (maybe not complete as of yet, but as comprehensive as such a list can be in the middle of the night when you’re sleepy…)

    ===============================================================

    The “I said I’d never do, but I did anyway” list (Not in any particular order)

    1) Be gay (I was very anti-gay until my junior year… who’d have seen that coming?)

    2) Work at Wal-Mart (and it happened to be my first job ever…)

    3) Own a “sports car” (Wrong again …. I drive an automatic transmission V6 Mustang)

    4) Face my fear of heights (I ride roller coasters all the time and love it… now if I can just talk myself into riding a ‘giant’ Ferris wheel)

    5) Go clubbing (Valentine’s Day 2004 - First time ever)

    6) Dance in public [at the club] (thanks to some encouraging words…)

    7) Be able to learn to sell glasses (worked at Lenscrafters – boy did I learn)

    8) Work at a “pet store” (Worked at PetsMart for 3 months…hehe)

    9) Work at a “hardware store” (Currently working at Lowe’s)

    10)  Drink alcohol and get drunk (I strongly opposed alcohol, but It’s not super bad…although I don’t like to drink regularly or drink in public)

    Hmmm…. Hopefully that wasn’t so bad – maybe I’ll post another entry in the near future.  No promises that I will.  As you can see my LJ is littered with broken promises of regular updates that never happened.   Please do leave comments, I like reading them.  Let’s me know when people actually read my LJ.

    Hugs and such,
    Robert

    Post a memory .... c'mon!
    If you read this, even if I don't speak to you often, you must post a memory of me.
    It can be anything you want, it can be good or bad, just so long as it happened. Then post this to your journal to see what people remember about you.

    Sad, sad day
    Well this isn't going to be too much of an entry. Just wanted to post that this morning at 5am we had to euthanize my 14 yr old Lhasa Apso dog... Prissy. She had an 'episode' around 11pm or so... we don't know if it was a seizure or a stroke... but whatever it was it was bad enough for us to take her to the emergency pet hospital. Well, they were going to do some tests and keep her for observation, so we left her there as she was doing a LITTLE better. We get home and then things went down hill .... they called us at 1am saying that she was not getting better and that she had fluid build up around her heart. Needless to say, that with her age (since she was an old dog) and the stress it would put her through to drain the fluid... My mom asked the vet what he would do if it were his dog and he thought about it and then stated that he would put his dog to sleep so that they would be at peace. *Cries*

    This is definetly one of the hardest things I've had to experience in my life so far. It's hard to lose a pet you've known for 14 years. I will always remember her. Thank god I have this weekend off to grieve and get on with my life.

    *hugs*

    Whee! (Entire post about King's Dominion FYI)

    Today was so fun ... King's Dominion was so awesome!  Also it turned out that my mother went with me, so we had a mom & son day.  (It's nice to have those every once in a while ... it lets me relax and have fun while talking about all kinds of stuff throughout the day.)

    I wasn't sure how busy King's Dominion would be considering they are now open weekends only and today was a Sunday.  The park wasn't that busy, but still some wait time at most rides (which was on par with what I expected).  Luckily the longest two lines we waited in were for "Hypersonic XLC" and "Volcano, The Blast Coaster", and the wait for them was about 45 minutes or so.

    I am so glad that I had this opportunity to go to King's Dominion this 2004 Season.  I missed the roller coasters and "Drop Zone"... oh how I missed the 272ft drop of "Drop Zone".  And then there is the incredible launch on "Hypersonic XLC" .... there isn't much you can do to prepare to be launched 0-80mph in 1.8 seconds!  (Other than sit back and hold on tight!)

    I was glad to spend the day with my mom and we had lots of laughs today, but I really missed James today.... he was the last person I went to an amusement park with (when I went up to NJ to Six Flags Great Adventure on 8/25/04).  I think that today could've been another perfect day for me to spend with him... If only he lived closer...among other things.  Also, my ex used to (and maybe still does) work for King's Dominion.  I found myself having a passing thought or two about how I wish I was still in touch with him... Just to know how he's doing and what not.  I always say that I might call him, but it would be wierd to have your ex call you out of the blue, especially if you have a new boyfriend and he picks up the phone or hears the voicemail.... oh boy.

    I found out that my Mom had never ridden in the very back car of a roller coaster ...so when we went on the "Anaconda" (which had like no wait in line at all) I told her that we should try riding the in the very last car on the coaster train.  She had so much fun and said that it was such an interesting experience to be 'whipped around' curves, and to be pulled down the drop from the lift hill, instead of 'lingering' like she was used to.

    And, in closing... I must say that I do think it is honestly time for me to do something with my weight.  Today I managed to fit into all the rides that we rode... but on some of my favorites I barely fit... I don't know what I'd do if I was too big to enjoy some of my favorite rides.  It would truly take away one of passions in life... I love to ride roller coasters!  So... some of the stomach (where I store MOST of my weight, lol) has to go... how long it will take, I don't know.  But before next season (Spring 2005) I need to be less fat :-P

    Hugs and such to everyone, especially James

    Just another update ... Yay =)

    So yeah, another update! (Yay)  Albeit just a miscellaneous (sp?) entry, its my LJ so who cares?!  I can put whatever I want in it!

    I went to a going away party for my friend Marc... he's going away to France for 7 months and I know I'll miss him.  Other than that I hope to go to King's Dominion tomorrow (Sunday 9/12)... yes I know it IS technically Sunday, but since I've not gone to bed yet, it's still Saturday to me!  I also really hope that the park is not busy ...that means I'd get to ride LOTS of rides.  Yay!

    I REALLY need to wash my car, it's so dirty...  I was going to try out this new carwash they built near me but the top of the line wash costs $21.00!!!  For that much they should have some real gold in the wax...hehe ;)  If I didn't live in a townhouse community (and had my own driveway), I would probably wash my car myself.

    So, in closing I ask for opinions/suggestions from my friends for a Halloween costume.  Just give me a 'vote' or idea for a Halloween costume by commenting in my LJ or writing me an email to  RainbowRomantic@gmail.com  (if you wish your suggestion to be private or what not).  Please do comment and "vote", so I can have a good idea of what I want my costume to be by the end of the month. 

    Robert's Halloween Costume Ideas
    Please vote for one of these or give your own suggestion by COMMENTING in LJ...

    1) Super Mario (just plain ol' Mario in overalls and his cap)
    2) Caped Mario (same as above, plus a yellow cape, like in Super Mario World)
    3) Racoon Mario (same as #1, plus racoon ears on hat, and tail like in Super Mario 3, no cape)
    4) Other form of Mario (costume variations, power ups, etc ... specify in a comment)
    5) Write in your own costume idea (lol, but I thought I wanted to be something from Super Mario Bros games lol)

    Please vote, thanks  ~Robert~

    A little too much drinky, drinky (not me...)
    So yeah, I just figured I would write down my funny experience that happened today with a customer...

    Today at about 4:30pm, I had just got back from a 15 minute break and I opened a new register to relieve the "congestion" of people. Well like the 2nd guy in line I rang up ... nothing looked out of the ordinary, but oh boy. I didn't notice any staggering or anything really too out of the normal, except when I said "Hi" to him... He replied "I'm good, how you doin man?!" (kinda loudly, but DEAR GOD I sure did smell the alcohol on his breath!) The total of his purchase came to $6.92 and he pulled some money out of his wallet and began to 'count' the one dollar bills silently. He obviously got a little frustrated and just made sure he handed me just $1 bills (because he put the two five dollar bills back in his wallet).... but he hands me these dollar bills. So I count them, and he's handed me TEN one dollar bills... so I give him three back and he's like "Why you give em back to me?" ME: "Sir you gave me ten $1 bills, I only need seven of them" HIM: "Damn, glad you're an honest dude, you coulda taken that and I'da never knowed" ME: "Well that's why I always double count my money sir, here's your 8 cents in change, have a great evening" HIM: "How about a knuckle buster dude?" (I was thinking "what the fuck is that?") So I said "Excuse me sir?" then he showed me and I gave him a "knuckle buster" (kinda equivalent of bumping fists in a 'cool' handshake) HIM: "Have an awesome... whatever it is ... see ya!"

    Sorry that was long and drawn out, hopefully not hard to read. But yes, I told the other people at work about it and we all had a hearty laugh. On a more serious note, hope he got home okay... DRINKING AND DRIVING IS NOT COOL!

    So that's all for today people ... look forward to another entry soon. *Hugs* for all, peace...

    Breakaway...

    Yeah, so I figured it was time to post something in my LiveJournal... lol  I think it would be therapeutic if I started to post regularly so I am going to give that a try and see how that goes.  And so as not to clutter up anyone's friends page, I'll try to post long entries and boring work related stuff under an LJ cut.

    Anywho, not really any catching up to do except for the fact that I met the wonderful James ([info]tokaro ) on August 25th.  I traveled up to New Jersey and met him at Six Flags Great Adventure.  Truly was one of the best times I've had in my life.  Thanks James, for everything!  *BIG HUGS FOR JAMES*

    In other news .... really missing Lissa ...haven't hung out with her in a long time.  Hopefully I can get to hang out with her soon, I realize she's busy. (And if you're reading this Lissa, I apologize that I've not called you or anything... I just figured you were super busy.)  Miss hanging out with Erica too ...she's busy with school and work, so its understandable.  All I ever do is work these days... and go home and sit on the computer...

    But onto today...  I intended on washing my car today, but it was overcast and blech... and I thought "What's the point?".  I got the opportunity to hang out with my friend Tommy and meet his new boyfriend.... They look really cute together and I was glad to do something nice for a friend.  Sadly his boyfriend has to run off to college in Ohio for a few months. (Aside: Tommy that time will fly and you'll see him in no time! *hugs*)  There is a lot of other stuff that I would love to write about, but I must be getting off to bed soon and its difficult for me to write too much more as I feel myself losing concentration.

    Thanks all for reading... I leave you with the fact that I now have a GMail account... so a new email address (hopefully primary) is RainbowRomantic@gmail.com .  *Hugs for everybody*

    ~Also I will probably post about my meeting with James from the 25th of August... and maybe some other things.... then again maybe not... we shall see
