The best way to avoid dried out hair is to have your shower water really hot and use a really good shampoo like Fructis or Head & Shoulders. Using cheap brand shampoo may dry out your hair.
That's my journal now. A wordpress blog that I host, a lot more I can do with it and I love it. I simply keep my LJ for posting when I don't have access to my primary blog and for community stuff like http://community.livejournal.com/octranspo/
I just found out that my buddy Craig is having his bday night this Friday so I must cancel going to Kingston this Friday. Sorry my friends in Kingston, I'll make my way to Kingston another time. Only person that might be a lil down is Allison as she's going to Jasper (Ithink?) and won't ever get to meet me. How can one be happy with a life where one cannot even meet The Phil? Tis life I guess. I hope you have a safe trip Allison and we'll keep in touch online. As for Craig's bday. I haven't hung out with him for almost 2 months I think, it's gonna be fun. We're goin out drinking or something, woot.
Aside from that change of plans, work is dead tonight, glad about that. About an hour between calls. Hopefully stays this way all night, perfect for my last shift of the week.
Oh, I'm hoping to dye my hair black in the next 2 days. Say bye to the blue for now. I'm also experimenting with my facial hair. It grows horribly, kinda patchy and slow but I'm gonna let it grow and see how it looks. Let me know how you like it people.
I intend to record an episode of The Wrong Direction this week. Idunno if I'll record anything while out with Craig and others but if I do, I'd like that to be the show after. I'm thinking I'll record a tech predictions show. I have my predictions from last year and the year before. I have a general idea what my predictions were but I am not reading them again until I film the show. I will also make some new predictions for the world of tech. I'm not bad at being an analist. We'll see if I'm able to record that show this week. If not, it will be soon.
Half way through watching WWE Raw last night, great show thus far. If Wrestlemania is as good or better, I'll be happy.
I don't really have anything more to talk about so I'm out. If I have more to say, I may post again later.
I had recently put my second ticket to the TNA event up for grabs (as long as they paid for the ticket) within my circle of friends, a few friends shown interest but as I said to each, whomever confirms first can buy the ticket and go with me. Well one of my friends stepped up and confirmed so the ticket is off the market. Sorry to those friends who were interested but couldn't give an answer yet. You can still go but you'll have to buy a ticket online or by phone; check my events and go to the tna event page, it has a link to where to buy tickets. If you go, hitme up so we can meet up there. The fired who decided to buy my other ticket is Joe, it's gonna be fun Joe, woot! I'm interested in going out to eat before or afterward but that's up to Joe as he's driving. Let me know Joe.
I'm gonna start using my livejournal account to post notes to my facebook since I can't get into facebook at work. If you see one of these (possibly) odd looking notes, it's due to my posting it on livejournal and have my posts automatically imported to facebook. I like knowing tech shit, lol.
My friend Samy got a pretty awesome billboard display. Check it out. Just posting this to support my buddy. Though don't be surprised if they take it down to put a big post of The Phil there.... or not. lol
What a stressful night... There are nights when I feel like I'm a model employee Than there is last night where everything feels like it's going downhill Overall everything is okay but I had my worst call yet last night and nothing turned it around.
Aside from last night's hellish shift, I managed to get my cell phone plan changed I'm now paying like $15 less and get unlimited txt mssging on top of what I was already using from my previous plan. I feel great about that.
I've got a special project to work on this weekend. To say that I'm going to be busy on my 3 days off is an understatement It's basically investing in potential... That's all I will say for now.
Working overnights is a lot of fun. Downtime between calls is 30-45 mins on average. We're allowed to play videogames and are given more freedom in general than the day crew. I picked up a wireless receiver and charger for my xtra 360 controller and put some videogame emulators on my laptop for work, hehe. My bus home takes forever... Gotta find a different bus to take. My new manager is a really nice guy so I'm happy there. I'm getting used to the overnight schedule, thank gawd.
I booked off June 9th for a new promotion's wrestling show in Ottawa. they're gonna have a battle royal, ladder match and a lot more. It's run by a guy at my work that I have yet to meet. Idunno who I will go with to it but I don't care either, I'm going no matter what. For more info: http://www.wrestlinginottawa.com
This weekend, I plan to go see 300 in the imax. I haven't seen it yet and I want to see it in the imax before spiderman 3 replaces it. If anyone is interested in going with me to see it, let me know asap. I plan to go one night within this Sunday-Tuesday.
That's all for now, I'll try to do a vlog on Monday or Tuesday but no promises.
One of my old and most popular youtube videos has been featured on the blog of a XXX telephone operator. Her quote: "Someone sent me this and I had to share.........". I thought it was funny but the connection is understandable. You may be wondering what video I am referring to... Well, I recently made it private because I don't want to lose my job over it, haha. Those whom may have seen it when it was active, know it as "Medium Pace". If you're a friend of mine and want to see the video in question, feel free to ask. I just had to share, I found it interesting. Shout out to Morgan Lovecraft,:-p
First thing's first, I changed ThePhilOnline.com so that it points to my facebook profile. My facebook profile is the one stop place for everything phil. I'll still update LJ cause I use it for any big updates as the LJ rss feed is feeding into my facebook. Any lil journal posts, I post through Twitter which is feeding through my facebook page as well. Smartest, most efficient way to do it.
I'm done training and switching to overnights at Dell. I get a 12% premium and I'll be working 4x10 shifts. I'm a happy camper. Luckily for me, my new schedule starts Wednesday night so I get 5 days off in total to lax and adjust my schedule. It's been so difficult to change around my schedule. I was just getting used to the one I had. I'm gonna stay up all night tonight until my dentist appointment tomorrow morning at 8am. I'm gonna be tired as hell by the time I get home but then I will sleep and my schedule should adjust better. Now if I am really tired round midnight tonight, I may just go to sleep for 5 hrs, wake up, dentist, come home and try to nap or something. the first option is the better choice but I hate feeling insanely tired. I feel good to go to overnights though. Not too worried about technical skills cause there's always a backup and last resort to all problems. My main problem to deal with will be adjusting to my new schedule. As for the rumored 45min downtime during overnight shifts, I have a Nintendo DS Lite now so I'll have that to play with.
For those wondering, my schedule is Wed-Sat 9:30pm-8am
When I got my DSlite, I picked up - Puzzle Quest: Such a great game. It's like a traditional RPG but battles are done through a puzzle game identical to bejewelled but 2 players using the same board. It reminds me of a traditional turn based RPG + bejewelled + magic the gathering. - Mario & Luigi Partners In Time: It's a fun good RPG/puzzle game. - Pokemon Diamond: The same great game it was on the gameboy but with a 3d snes sprites upgraded look and a lot of new features. I like that you don't have to use the touch screen but can if you want. - MarioKart: Already had this game but I thought I would list it anyway cause it rox, lol.
I'm not playing my Wii much at all. Why did I buy it you ask? Cause I wanted to capitalize on the great deal and it's fun to play with the family. I still consider my 360 my main console of choice. Also, I haven't used my PSP for over 5 months, lol. The PSP was quite a failure for sony unfortunately. I think if they were to have made it with a harddrive and open to a lot of flexibility, then they would have had a hit machine. Problem was though is the whole harddrive to play games thing is ahead of it's time and sony doesn't like too much flexibility in their devices as it can lead to problems with pirating and hacking. I would bet anything that the next gen systems, like 4 years down the road, will be hard drive based where you download the games or install them off a disk. By then Terabyte drives should be at the 100$ price point, if not less.
That's all for now
