I, Late Night Owl.

Well, Actually, I came home from a rather uneventful day at work. I sat online for about an hour. Checking email and such. Then I went I laid down on the couch. I believe it was somewhere around 8 or 9. I have awoken again and it's just coming up to 1 am. Of course, I switch to nights for tomorrow so my sleeping pattern matters little at this point.

Night shifts at work are so much easier than day shifts. Probably because they are two hours shorter than the day shifts. In Two hours, They're able to make you call one more incidious session. Today, That 3rd sessions began with 8 people. The first game took a complete 5 minutes. In which I called about 46 numbers. That's just too long. I did manage thought to end the entire session about 5 minutes earlier than I usually do. This mostly from just putting my head down and firing numbers off and wasting no time in between games. Just go-go-go.

So, I doubt I'll be as productive I was last night (when I should have been sleeping) but I did manage to update the music being played on my Internet Radio Station. I don't believe I have any listeners anymore. At one time I believe I had about 10 faithful listeners when I first opened up. But due to time constraints and the fact I haven't turned it into anything more than a music stream, they've dwindled away. That's okay. The station is just an experiemnt for me.

Background : I studied Broadcast Arts at a trade school in Vancouver. This was a little over 10 years ago now. I've only applied for one job in radio. I didn't get that job. I haven't bothered to apply for anything else. One day, I plan on making a demo tape again and sending that all over the place in attempt to actually use my education. Though, I believe it makes less money than I do now. So, it's a slow process. Anyway, My thinking is eventually I have all the equipment I need for my radio station for live broadcasts and that'll will eventually lead to me do air checks (recorded snipets of the DJ bits) and that will give me a demo tape. I think it will sound more realistic since it won't be a contrived demo tape. Where you just record it as IF you were on the air. But if I have no listeners, am I really on the air? (If a tree falls in the forest...nevermind)

Well, So far, I'm two or three days into this journal thing and making regular updates. I am pretty sure that won't keep up. That's my nature. Start something and never finish it. But I was once told I should start a journal to keep my thoughts in focus. One of the toughest things in my life is focus. I am such a scatter brain. Well, not really. But I'm more sporatatic than an ADD sufferer OD'ing on Caffiene. Which reminds me I drink way too much coffee at work. But then again that's about the only place I ever drink coffee. Have to, or I'd go comatose and the little old ladies would be beat me to death for falling asleep one number before they won some game worth an entire $10's. Of course, knowing my luck I'd do that during game worth $10,000 and be lynched.

Tonight, I talked to Veronica [My Last Ex-GF] online (names changed to protect the innocent). It wasn't very exciting. I was distracted, I was surfing after work. The whole thing between us has been a bit lack lustre in a way. At one time, I really wanted to get back with her. Now, I'm not so sure but I definitely still care and hope we can remain friends. I've never met anyone who got my sense humour as well. (Not just laughs at my jokes but gets it. That's rare.) We have similar musical interests although I such a variety of music I listen to anyone could line up some of their music with me. I just think she dovetails closer than others.

which reminds me I should in general make more attempts to be social with people. I recently learned on my trip back to Vancouver (Where I was born) I really don't have many friends over there anymore. Except one (well two but quickly fading in contact). I've been a bad friend. I haven't put any effort into any of my friends. I blame this on a few things. One was a pure lack of money, although that's changed. I can still amazing tight walleted and then other moments I spend way too much that I have to be super tight walleted again. This wreaks havoc on ones social life.

Tomorrow, is the great sunday, my usual day to do nothing. Although I should attempt to be productive some sort of way. Even it's as much as to sit and clean the train set I brought back from Vancouver with me. It's been sitting in boxes for a number of years now (around 15 years I would think). So I am sure there are many spiders and such liviing in the boxes with the miles of track and the large trains. Anyway, I planning on setting it up here in my living room since I have such a large living room. I think it would be a cool little addition. Even though I never have guests over here. Oh well, it's for me, not others.

Well, I ramble too much therefore I should stop for now. I am sure I will ramble on more in the future. This I am pretty sure of.
