April 8th, 2009 3:16 PM Starting on the other half of the lawn today. Moved all of the potted plants I have off of the grass, onto the sidewalk, up onto the porch, they're freaking everywhere. We're talking a pretty small yard to begin with, a decent size porch with 3 steps, and a 10 foot sidewalk. A little crowded, but hopefully worth it. Don't know why the urge struck me to put in a lawn. I'm not really what I picture to be a lawn type of guy. You know, the perfect house, perfect lawn, perfect... Sign in to see full entry.

April 7th, 2009 11:46 PM I just spent a couple of hours getting registered for an online "job" my brother recommended. It's answering texted questions on the internet. It only pays like 2 cents for each one, which they say can earn up to 7$ an hour. Woohoo, exciting. Apparently it will take them a couple days to let me know if I passed their test. At least it's free to join which makes it seem very legit, besides the advice of my brother which I highly value. Probably a lot of his college... Sign in to see full entry.

April 7th, 2009 3:31 PM A big yellow sign "God Hates Fags" was being carried around by a local man today.

Regardless of anyone's views, regardless of whether... Sign in to see full entry.

April 7th, 2009 10:41 AM Driving people up and down the street on a bicycle taxi is a fun, rewarding, and exhausting experience. It's like a giant exercise bike with passengers that pay you. But on windy days like today it can be rough. About 6 months ago the restaurant I was working at changed management. It went from a light-hearted outdoor cafe with a couple well-compensated servers to losing it's feeling, the atmosphere people loved, and having way too many employees covering each shift....

April 6th, 2009 5:32 PM About to go play some no-limit Texas Hold'em Poker. One of my obsessions. Been playing for about 5 years. Sometimes miss the casino's back home. You get to know all the other players after a while. Become like a large network of friends. Gambling probably isn't the best activity I could choose to obsess on. I've definitely had some ups and downs with it. But, like chess, I love the game. The math, the numbers, the logic, the psychology at play. In general, I find that... Sign in to see full entry.
