Hmm...what next...

So its 12:31 I'm sitting in my room eating cake and debating what to do in my life.


Right now I'm 21. Not going to school. Working part time and filling my extra time with video games.

I feel like a slug. I recently took a challenge from a friend to go a few days without games and I'm happy to say that i did it. I also enjoyed it. Now I'm sitting here so confused on what to do. All my life I've played Video games to pass the time and enjoy the time I do it. But I'm not learning anything new, keeping in contact with anyone(sure it has online but I only play mornings or late nights), or getting anything accomplished. When I played games today i got frustrated, upset, and let it ruin my day. Thats not entertainment when you get upset. So whilst I pushed carts in the freezing cold at work I started thinking what I should do.

I considered selling both my home consoles and using the money on an Apple IPad. "Wait Austin," you might say "what's the point of getting that, it has games on it." Yes it does but I never said that i was swearing off games, just that i wasn't doing anything with my time. "Well how would the Apple IPad help with that?" thats a good question. The IPad though to most(me included) see the IPad as a giant IPod Touch it has more to offer then its smaller counterpart. The 3G model uses the At&t 3G wi-fi with out a contract. This means I get all the great apps while being able to use it on the go. Now it may seem a bit much I know I'd use it ALL the time. Thats why i got a smart phone in the first place was so i could have internet on the go. But with this i can browse the internet as i would on my MacBook but anywhere i wanted...as long as At&t was available.

The whole reason I've been considering it is cause I feel if i had it i wouldn't confine myself to my room all the time. I still live at home and don't spend all that much time with my family. Most people spend more time with there families in 2 years then i have since i was 10. and I want to change this. I want to be a better person and i think spending a little more time with my family and friends might help.

Well seeing as how its almost 1 in the morning and I'm having a hard time making sure this makes sense I'll stop here. I guess my main question to my followers is this. What do you guys think i should do? Should I sell my systems? Should I just wait and save up and get the IPad in a few months down the road? Just let me know what you think in the comments.

Whilst I'm bored...

Well I'm not doing anything and I should update so connie doesn't get mad at me ;-)


Since I've last posted I went to Wyoming. Rawlins specifically. It was so much fun. I went with Kim to see Jaycey in the play HONK! It was a musical about the ugly duckling. It was very cute and had great music. While we where there we bowled and saw "How to train your Dragon" and I've got to say I loved it! Such a cool/cute show. I don't want to spoil anything so you should go and see it.

Also it was my birthday a few days ago I am now 21! Don't bother asking how it feels cause I'll tell you it doesn't feel any different then being 20. Mainly cause I don't drink so nothing changed there. But for gifts. I got a desk add-on to my Bookshelf from my mom, a new car battery from my dad, a trash bag for my car from Amy and John, as well as a new Beta fish from Stacey and Brandon.

My old Beta fish, Prince Bloke the 4th, received a bad infection when I was trying to clean his bowl. He wasn't very secure and tried to make a break for it. When I got him back into his bowl it was too late. I really miss that Fish. But now I have a new Beta named Sazh(pronounced like Jazz with a S) (and yes I know Scott its from a Game. but I like the name) I'll hopefully get a good picture soon and add it.

Other then that Life has been the same. Working at Costco with a car that runs great. (except for the battery) Hope I have more for you soon.

Finally took it.


Well I took the color test. Found that my color is BLACK. Here's what it says


Nothing can stand between you and your demand for a calm environment. To be free of conflict and disagreement is the only way to live. In fact, it’s this philosophy that probably allows you to be comfortable in conditions that would normally bother others. Your ability to focus is undisputed, and while you enjoy attention, you still have problems understanding how to handle it. No other color out lives by the golden rule as much as you do.

I dunno, what do you think? Thought i'd post a pic to so here's Black Rock Shooter who likes...well black and blue.

Alright, I'm sorry.

Yeah I know I haven't been posting Connie I'm sorry.


No I really am sorry for not keeping up to date on things. I've been playing games and keeping myself busy and on my down time, posting just hasn't sounded fun so I'm buckling down and posting everything that has happened.

To start off with I now have a car, it has been a while since I've had it but seeing as its the newest thing I'm posting about it. Its a 03 Pontiac Vibe. I got it for 5,000 and it's only got 120 miles with a Toyota engine that's not very much. Its running great and I'm so happy i have it.


My phone cracked a while ago and i had to send out for a new one I got it today and I'm planning on taking good care of it this time no more loose pockets that it can pop out of and skydive to the concrete.

Other then those two things life has stayed pretty much the same. Not much in my love life, still working part time and attending church whenever i can. I do however want to let you guys know about my new project.

Daily Booth is a website where you can post pictures and talk about them, I know there are a lot of those out there but on this site I plan to post at least on picture a day so as to keep a Photo journal of myself. If you like you follow my page click here you can also set up a page if you'd like, I find it really fun.

Well I have some things coming up this month that will give me lots to post about. So I'm planning on keeping this up to date along with my Daily Booth.

Oh also one more thing, Scott's been telling me to get a move on and i've just been layzing about. I've been thinking up stories in my head and wanted to post them I've made a new blog to where you can read them if you'd like just follow Link. And let me know what you think.
