Update...

I know, somewhere out there, there is a job for me. A job where no one is doing something illegal, or where I'm not going to get fired for no reason. A job where I get paid a decent wage for doing something I can manage to tolerate. I know it's out there. I mean, Peter Gibbons found a good job, didn't he? Oh yes.


You see, for about three weeks I worked for a real estate company. No point in telling you which one, since most of you won't be buying RE anytime soon anyway. ;) Still, I digress. To make a long story short, not only was I not getting paid (100% commission with no customers is kind of...crappy), the broker was, well, breaking the law. Yeah, in several places. For example, a broker is not allowed to instruct or directly influence anyone to go to a specific lender. Period. They can hand out business cards, but there must be at least three. This broker gave no option, just sent them to the in-house guy. Who sucks, by the way, he's never approved a loan for Native Americans or Hispanics. Anyone looked at the demographics in Arizona lately?

The point is that I know I can do better. I'm not sure at what yet, but I'd rather sit on my butt with a clear conscience than work for someone who is less than trustworthy. Plus I have more time to be on MySpace. Yay! Peace and love. Holla!

I just had an apostrophe...

I partake in a small group study every Wednesday night with some of the guys from Trinity Baptist's college group. Four of them are good friends anyway, so I'm pretty comfortable with it. Anyway, tonight was the first time I hosted it at my home, so Greg was there. We are studying the life of David, and tonight we talked about David and Goliath.


The question came up of what characteristic would we like to see in our life to be more like David. Mine was "initiative." It's just what popped out of my mouth. I realized, though, that it is true. Travis and I were talking about it yesterday (or actually Monday, my bad) and we agree that we are getting lazier as a result of still living with the 'rents.


My problem is that I have little idea of what direction I want to go in life. I have ideas, and I know I could be good at a lot of things, but so far I have been unable to come up with anything specific. I still want to be a writer. I am thinking of the FBI. The problem is that I have not seriously acted on anything. I feel lost...

random stuff

Much has been going on in the world of Scott. Okay, not too much, but some interesting and cool stuff. I bid on stuff on EBay for the first time, and I won a movie for Greg, a PSP game, and an X-Box game. I must...fight...the sickness...


I found an old friend from junior high. That's pretty cool. It was just on a lark that I got to talk to him, and I'm kind of surprised he remembers me. Ah, good times. Best part so far is I found out he works @ Krispy Kreme. W00t! I have connections!


I bought an item today that may possibly change my life forever. That's right, I got a new T-Shirt. Oh yeah, that's totally what I'm talking about. For sure. Um...and I have a camel. No wait, a llama. Yes, that's right. A llama...well, maybe not, but that would be cool! Seriously, how many people do you know who have a llama? Not many, I'd say.
