Sometimes I wonder what in the fuck I'm doing out here. I wish my life had a little more stability then it does right now. I wake up everyday and just wait. Wait for someone to call, wait for an employer to notice me, wait to fall in love with someone, wait in rush hour traffic, wait for the weekend to come, wait for december to come. I don't think i've ever experienced this feeling of being in limbo ever before. I'm so financially fucked and there's not a damn thing I can do about it. As much as I love my profession I despise it at the same time. Sometimes I don't like being creative at all.
I went and saw "Babel" today. It almost made me cry...that's fucking bullshit. It was a film about miscommunication between humans on all different levels.
Fuck I dont even know where I'm going with this...I'm just not in the best of moods tonight. I really wish I had someone right now.
I think I'm going to go sit on the roof and call someone I've only met once before in my life. Maybe she can cheer me up. |

It's october and I still don't have job. Wait let me rewind. It's october and I still dont have the fucking internet. 3 weeks now, no net. Do you know how hard it is to get used to a Giant new city without any internet? It sucks. I do all my job searching, all my designing with the aid of the net. Being wireless is crippling.
We should have the net this week, but who the fuck knows.
I still havent seen one football game this year either. Not a single fucking one. I'm cranky haha.
O well, Price is coming to visit on Thursday for the weekend and I'm super stoked about that. Crazy good times to be had.
Went to The Dresden (where they shot SWINGERS) friday night. Cool place and it's only up the road from where we live.
Well nothing else interesting going on. Wait, it actually rained for like 5 minutes today. And it's kind of cloudy. It's weird.
Later on. |

I just got back fromt he bar and I talked to a guy who claimed his name was Johnny Walker. For some reason I believe him. We spoke of LA and the Navy mainly. He seems to think I'll be ok because I'm a bigger guy, but he said watch out for the mexicans and don't dtravel alone. Common knowledge basically. I bought him a shot of JW for being a good military man.
I have to train some new chick tomorrow. I met her once, she seems cool but kind of conservative. Kinda cute but whatever, in all honesty I'm not in the mood to do anything anymore let alone train some new gal. Sadly the ONLY reason I'm working this week is for the cash. Enough about work, it's lame anymore.
So i'm gonna go crash alone again. I'm tired of it. I miss my northern friend.

So I went to check my brakes today on the red dragon because she's skidding worse then barniers underpants.
Changing brakes is a peice of cake...no problem right? Shhhhhhhhhyyyyyiiiiiiitttt, now I know why Oldsmobiles went out of bitness! The hubcaps alone took us a half hour to get off. This was a long horrible experience where eventually I found out I didn't need front anything and just back rotors. Here's the aftermath to this debacle.
Goddamn stupid little nipple lugnuts covering the real ones just spun and spun so eventually we just broke the damn thing off.
This is what's left of one lugnut. I was hungry.
We eventually got the Red Dragon back together but she's sitting on blacks now. Kinda got the ghettoness flavor i've been looking for. Now she'll fit right into LA.
Apparently you can roll with only 4 lugnuts. I was told to avoid off roading if possible until Thursday. That ruins my wednesday evening I had planned.
All the people in this plane were laughing at me the entire time. I hope they're flying into Southern Florida right about now.
This creepy sonuvabitch was also laughing at me when I got home. I hope the tarantualla living in our gutter at him as well.
A beaten and confused man. I need a nap.

Well it's official now. We just closed on our apartment today. It's in LA just south of Hollywood. All I know is, it's about 15 minutes from the ocean and it has a palm tree next to it.
Shit is starting to get real now. 90% excited 10% scared. I can't believe I'm making this move less then a year since I've been home...
I remember about 5 years ago this same time sitting on my kitchen floor just freaking out about moving to Grand Valley and living there. That worked out fairly well. Here's to hoping this does to. And you all are welcome to visit whenever :) Like if you're ever in the neighborhood or something. |

I've been thinking about this for a little while now and I still don't know exactly how I feel about it.
What is your feelings about people changing their names? And I'm not talking about P-Diddy shit. I'm talking about shortening their names.
I've been thinking more and more about changing my last name from Olejarczyk to Oley. 95% of the people I know already call and know me by it. Whenever I sign up for things or buy things online I use Mike Oley.
It's not that I dislike my last name or heritage for that matter...I am really proud of it. But lets face it, my name get mispronounced 9 times out of 10. I've been dealing with that since kintergarden. At work my boss still stumbles on it "I've got Mike Ole....jar...whatever working on it". That may sound petty, but it kind of bothers me and is more annoying then anything else.
My dad told me about 5 years ago that if I ever wanted to change my name due to my profession that he would completely understand. Now I know my grandma would be mortified. Actually, I probably wouldn't even tell her.
This has nothing to do with me changing as a person because I am moving either. I know who I am and since highschool I have been Oley not Olejarczyk. I know it's a nickname but it has become my identity.
Let's face it, it would be a lot easier on the person I marry too haha. That would be rough to inherit the name Olejarczyk if your last name was Smith or something simple haha.
I don't know, it's been on my mind latley and kind of bothering me.
What do you guys think? |

You know there was a time when I used to watch TRL every single day. Carson Daily would tell me what's cool in music right now, and who was on the brink of being cool. I became brainwashed and would go out and buy their albums. I would go to their concerts, I would buy their posters.
I haven't seen a TRL since I went to Grand Valley in all honesty. I just checked out their top 10 out of curiosity.
T.I.
"What You Know"
Ne-Yo
"So Sick"
James Blunt
"You're Beautiful"
Rihanna
"S.O.S."
Shakira
"Hips Don't Lie (Feat. Wyclef Jean)"
Bo Bice
"The Real Thing"
Fall Out Boy
"A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me""
Sean Paul
"Temperature"
Kelly Clarkson
"Walk Away"
Ashley Parker Angel
"Let U Go"
The only songs that I have even heard on here are: James Blunt (which i think is highly overated), Sean Paul and Ne-Yo (only because Kevin made me download it haha).
Who in the hell is Ashley Parker Angel. I would of guessed it was some chick, but i guess it's a dude. Bo Bice being on here makes me laugh.
Here's the sad thing about this list. There are millions of kids out there like me a few years ago who go by this as their bible of "What's Popular so it must be cool" music.
MTV should be punished for brainwashing america's youth. I am dead serious about that. |

Searching for apartments in LA is depressing.
I am seriously going to live in a shitbox when I first move out there. O well, I guess you have to start somewhere. |

today was weird at work. In a good way. After my boss left, Will and I sat and critiqued and brainstormed what we had done for the Michigan CAT site so far and ended up totally redesigning the whole look. It felt like I was in college again for the first time since I've been out. We sat down and took some time aside and worked through it, instead of mindlessly pumping out work with no content, logic or most importantly heart.
I really love what I do for a living. And hiring Will was a smart thing. |

Boots and Barnier bet $2 on their last game of bowling last night. Boots was killing Chris going into the 10th. We needed to win though so Boots said:
"Chris if you strike out I'll give you the $2"
"Naw it's ok Boots, you already ripped my tits off this game"
Team unity baby.
But who seriously says that? |

The "Service Engine Soon" light in my car makes me nervous. A similar nevous feeling as to the thought of a razor cutting my gums.
In other news: The weather blows balls today.
