April Already?!
Holy hell its already April? A quarter of 2013 gone? Damn.
Maybe this can be a good year, maybe I can get my ass back in gear- stubborn donkey. While there is a certain amount of depression that goes with being unemployed, I am definitely happier than I've been in the recent past. I am glad to be away from the hell that is walgreens. I had wanted to be trained for pharmacy, I needed a challenge. They would never give me the chance to advance my skills. I will be the first to admit I have issues with talking to people, its just who I am. But when you wont get even a chance, it messes with your head, makes you feel worthless. Anyways, I have an interview today, and they called me! I hope it is the job for me.
Gonna strap on my job helmet and see if the job canon can get me to job land, wish me luck!

Why Must Everything Be So Hard!?
I have struggled every year of my life to find clothes that I can afford, that fit well, and will last.
It seems like every time I am able to find something that I need, another becomes un-available. Currently I am in need of new jeans, just plain blue and black ones. I wear the black ones for work. A local western wear store used to carry my size, but now they have nothing, saying the manufacturer doesn't make my size anymore. Recently I managed to find a place to buy basic t-shirts, and even more recently i managed to find a coat to replace the one that i had been using for the last ten years.
I know that if I lost some weight, my clothing searches would be more fruitful. If losing weight was easy I would drop to about 250-300lbs. Lately I have been doing the opposite and gaining weight. I feel that I have no goals, I feel that it would be better if i ended my existence. I am tired of being me.

Carpet Tile Chair Mat
Little over a year ago I bought a chair mat for my desk chair. At first it was great. Then it started to get depressions from my chair being in only one spot, but it was still ok. Soon it cracked, and from there it went down hill fast. I had got one of the ones for hard floors and not for carpet. The ones for carpet have those spikes and seem to tear up the carpet just as much as not having used it in the first place.
Not wanting to spend $40 plus dollars on another mat, I went to my local Habitat for Humanity ReStore and picked up some carpet tiles. At only two Metal-Washingtons each, and my total came to less than a Paper-Lincoln. I got 9 of them, each are 18"x18", so if I wanted to I could make a 54"x54" square. Currently I am sewing the together with upholstery thread, as I don't have a better method. I punched lots of holes with my leather punch. An industrial sewing machine is something I would kill for right now.
In my search for a replacement mat I came across GLASS mats. I know that glass can be an incredibly strong material, but I also know that it seems to break at the worst of times too. Maybe they laminate the glass or maybe they use tempered glass so that if it does break you hopefully wont get cut. Either way the glass ones are $200 plus, and about 40 times more than what I wanted to part with.
I also wanted to look into using do-it-yourself wood flooring to make a mat, but I have limited wood working capabilities.
The basic idea is to lay them side by side, and sew them together so they act like one giant tile.
I've decided for the time being, I will start of with just a square mat and see where i need to go from there. The one at the top will kinda be a foot rest of sorts
Remember folks, check your local thrift/salvage for things that can be reused, it'll save you that precious moolah, and it'll give something to do.
EDIT: 5/14/13 it lasted about 10 months or so before cracking, I guess it would have worked better with something hard under it.

Some Things Are Cheap For a Reson
This one in particular, a costume that changes the wearer.
Suzy has found it in the costume bin at the newly opened thrift store. It looked brand new, and they only wanted ninety-nine cents for it. Wondering how a new giraffe costume would end up at the thrift store, she purchased it and went home. When she got home Suzy decided to wear it and surprise her husband. While attending to chores her neck suddenly began to ache and she felt disoriented. She sat down and closed her eyes. It was like someone was trying to pull her head off. Almost as sudden as it pain started, it stopped.
She opened her eyes, it seemed she was sitting higher than normal. Suzy stood up and again was greeted by the same feeling of being higher. She walked over to the mirror, watching her feet the entire way, wondering why the floor seemed further away than it had moments ago. Looking into the mirror she couldn't see her head, stepping back until she could, suzy was greeted with a peculiar sight.
Suzy couldn't believe it, it looked as though someone had stretched out her neck. She ran her hands over her neck, they didn't stop where they should have. Tilting her head from side to side she tested the flexibility of her new neck. It finally dawned on her that it have been the costume that changed her. Making sure not to hit her head, that only took once to find out that would hurt, she made her way to the bedroom
With the costume removed she began to redress in her previous attire. Standing in front of the bedroom mirror Suzy waited for the change to reverse, nothing happened. Disappointed, she folded the costume and returned it to its bag. Thankfully, her husband was a tall man and their cars still had plenty of head room for the poor woman. She drove to find the thrift again, return the costume, and hope they could return her to normal.
Suzy thought this was the place, but where the store was only an hour ago sat a vacant lot. Freaking out she drove home. Home once more, she waited in the bedroom for the return of her husband. Thinking it might ease the surprise of his changed wife, Suzy once again donned the cursed costume. She waited to see if any thing else would change. To her relief, nothing did.
Returning home the husband was shocked by the sight of his wife. Suzy showed him the garment and told him the sory of what happened. Eventually they both grew to accept the change, she loved the necking during sex, and he loved that his wife was now just as tall as he was. She even wears the giraffe costume on Halloween, bemusing all who see her.

I Scalped My Car
I've know for some time now that the roof had some holes in it. I noticed the other day that the no-longer-fancy vinyl/fabric top of the car had deteriorated beyond my maximum laziness threshold. It was probably time I did something about the holes in my roof. When I removed the material, I found the holes were more numerous and larger than I had thought. Most were small, others were large enough to stick fingers through.
I used that metallic expoxy/putty stuff that comes in a stick and you break off a chunk and knead it. I won't lie, that stuff is a bitch to use, but I was getting at least somewhat proficient at using it. After the holes were covered a shitty sand job came next. I really didn't bother to remove all of the cover's adhesive and fibers that stuck to the remaining adhesive. Next I taped the trim on the car and then the windows. I chose to just primer it, as I really didn't care about how it looks, just more of preventing further rust.
All in all, it was kinda fun, and it cost less than $30. One of these days I need to replace the car, as it is 30 years old, and it will only continue to deteriorate. Heh! If ever quit spending money on it I could do that!

Skull Tatt Redux
I think I've finally decided on what my next tattoo will be.
Also I've come up with a super simple way to see what a tattoo would look like before having it done.
It helps if it is a B&W image, But you basically just print it off at the size you think you want, using transparency film.
proto-tatt next to my batman for comparison
I want to say that you can by print at home temporary tattoos, like the ones that come from the sticker machines, but I'm not a 100% on that
