Reminiscent of 2008

no this post isnt about 1000
no this post isnt about whatever other shennanigans happened in 2008

This post is about a recent project I've decided to start up in which I had first had to do back in 2008. It was a "Make your own radio station" project in which recordings and songs were mixed together to make a fake radio station. I really enjoyed the project though at the time was halfway to New City so I didn't have any time to make the radio station anything like I intended it to be. I then made a pact with myself to try it again someday.

Then I forgot about that pact because New City. And Cafechan.

 I'm sure Pj's quit reading this post and has unsubscribed by now.

Anyway, these days I've found myself sick with the normal radio. The hit-and-miss of good song bad song makes it hard to enjoy, and with the ads mixed in (which I understand because monies run stations) it makes it further difficult to enjoy. If a station played only good music, the ads would be worth the wait. But my definition of "good" is absurd to expect out of a radio station, and with a car with a CD player, the opportunity to put my skills where my opinion is has come into play. And reminded me of a thing I wanted to do like 5 years ago.

So to actually tell whats going on: I'm making fake radio stations (smooth jazz station called Cafechan FM?) to test my skills, to have something to listen to when going to work, and to play into the idea of a future career I've had. Might be worth a hobby at least if not a job, especially if I'm awful at it.

That probably would've made a much simpler post. Ah well, hopefully somebody enjoyed the read.

 

Some DEETS on The Great Gamble Trip

First and foremost, I know many are wondering if there has been any success on the green lighting from work. So far, not yet, though I should know for sure by mid October. So for those hoping, hold tight. For those who will be missing or not seeing me, this is not the last time I'll be visiting Hometown so we shall indeed cross paths at a later point. Likely Spring or summer 2014.

As for another detail, originally the plan was for me to stay at my sisters new place with her and her boyfriend. I would be using transit and taxis and such for the trip.

A change has occured in that plan, in that now my mom is coming to hometown on the same flights as I am and we are now going to stay at my uncle's house. (the one I lived with for the two years in hometown.) Reasons for this are she enjoys visiting hometown very much and with her there, we will have potential access to a car, thus no needing for transit, saving costs. As well, this will raise chances of me visiting hometown in future times if connections there stay strong.

I will likely also have more space (read: perhaps even a guest room?) at my uncles, as opposed to a couch at best at my sisters. I'll very likely be visiting my sister regardless however.

More details on TGGT as they come. and maybe some more posts about "LOL WORKING WHAT ELSE IS NEW" someday.
On that note picked up more shifts today. woo hourssss

 

THE GREAT GAMBLE OF 2013

In light of recent PTE posts being pretty dark, this post has nice and wonderful and good news!... Sort of.

It's no secret that since moving back to New City, I've been looking to visit Hometown again. A trip in August fell through due to work and due to the Germany Trip being right before it. The time was never booked off so the trip had to be postponed.

It's now been planned for November 5-14th. The plane ticket has already been booked, (on a seat sale of course, because I'm now paying my own plane tickets, and that money comes straight from my now "college fund".) and because it has been booked and done through seat sale, it cannot be returned.

Now for the gamble part: I'm not actually sure if I can get the time off work. I put in a request, and though the last 3 times I've made requests they've been accepted, the request is still subject to denial. Especially if the department I work for needs me. As it so happens, many people in my department are quitting to concentrate on schoolwork. Thus this poses a heightened chance of denial.
If the request is denied, I lose about $400 and am stuck in New City. If it is accepted, still spend money but then actually get to go to Hometown.

I shall keep PTE firstly updated on how this gamble turns out. (Theres a good enough reason to keep reading right? meh i tried.)

Revelation

I've been taking PTE too serious

and work and life and a lot of things

"y so serious"

truly wisdom

What the hell is PTE?

I've often wondered if its supposed to be a chronicling of my life, a mean of communication for those who don't normally talk to me, or both as entertainment.

I hate PTE.

I don't hate it because of its design.

I don't hate it because its ran through a parent site.

I don't hate it because it doesn't make any money.

I hate it because I don't know what the hell it is supposed to be. I don't know what I want out of it or what I'm supposed to get out of it.

I don't know what I'm supposed to be posting. If you're going to say, "whatever you feel like", then know this: I don't want to post stuff not worth reading.

The BGM was added for entertainment. The pictures are for entertainment. The Riccy Rules were initially a guideline but turned to entertainment. The banners were all for entertainment purposes. Yet the posts have remained question marks, because somehow they've never been able to define.

According to this though, they should be entertainment. But then that creates a sick thought: My life is entertainment.

Perhaps I'm looking at it in the wrong way, but the idea of my misfortunes being what brings people joy isn't what I want to portray. 

I wanted this post to be about how I'm frustrated with my job, and more so than that, I'm frustrated with the fact my mother is right. That I'm not assertive. I don't force. I don't fight. 

And I've always passively accepted that I am a doormat. 

Because I am this I often lead myself into hurting myself trying to impress others. 

And then the hypocrite I am, get annoyed at others for trying to impress people.

Riccy logic is best logic.

Under my theory that is entertainment.

I can see why everyone else who had tried blogs gave up and let them die. I'd let go, but that'd take being assertive or something.

Maybe now I can finally sleep.

Then again I just posted a bunch of personal thoughts on the internet.

 So probably not.

The loop ends

And may this be the last year I celebrate endless 8. As fun as it is annoying Snowfire, going through nearly 2 weeks straight of work, getting sick from life cereal, getting sick from vending machine hamburgers, and burning in the hot summer sun are all things I'd prefer not imagining repeating a few billion times.

I'm still 'lol no school just working' for the time being. I kinda feel like a burnout at this point, but I remain optimistic on finding some post secondary institute and courses and direction and stuff so that I don't remain an eternal loser lot guy.

In other news that isn't gloomier than everything dying and winter coming, I started a sims 2 phase. (or restarted?) I find I enjoy just building ridiculous houses, mostly like mansions and stuff, I've made a few people too but nothing too creative. I'm debating making videos about the things I build, or one of me building something, just for fun. Figuring the latest vid on my channel is me making faces to a song, I'm sure house building videos to random music would fit riiiight in.

gee how do i not have 6000000 subs
