I hated working at Kerasotes Showplace 16 so much that I decided going in for one last day was unbearable. Especially since they gave me the most bullshit postion in the history of bullshit postions, "T-point." Which really means stand there in the middle of the hallway 50 feet from anybody relatively interesting for however long we tell you to(which in my case 4½ hours) and pretend you're doing something important.
I tried to be cool about it, tried to get someone to cover my shift, but nobody was stupid enough to take a T-point shift, and I don't at all blame them(except Samantha).
So after that failed, I considered just not showing up at all, which would definitely get me fired, but I thought, "Nah, I'm a nice guy, I'll call in."
That's when I found out that the minimum amount of time before your shift to call in is 2 hours. I woke up an hour before my 2:30 shift.(I have insomnia you judgemental person you.)
So I call in, say I'm not gonna make it, and they're like "Oh okay, your kinda short of two hours, try to find someone to cover it." Which wasn't hard enough considering it was a shift that NO ONE wants, plus I only have the phone numbers of maybe 4 or so people that I work with used to work with.
I call back, "Hey, I couldn't find anyone." ... "Alright, don't worry about it." DONE.
...Then my house phone rings. But I never answer the house phone cause it's never for me and repeatedly answering the phone for someone else makes me feel like a secretary, and I'm having enough trouble working one job, I don't need a second one. So anyways, they were forced to leave a message begging me to call them back. Alright, they weren't actually begging, but it makes me feel more powerful when I say it like that.
Okay fine, I call back.
Me - "Hello movie theatre manager person sir." Tom - "Hey, this is Tom. Did you tell Caitlin last night that you weren't coming in today and yesterday was your last day?" Me - "Haha, yes I did." Tom - "You're fired."
Well, he didn't fire me right away, there was a bit more talking included, but that pretty much sums it up. I never thought Caitlin would tell on me! But I guess it is her job. Can't really blame her. Good job Caitlin. Seriously.
SO, I got fired on my last day for attempting to quit a day early... and it was totally worth it. I guess the only downside is that if the entire planet other than Kerasotes Theatres burns down, I'll be unemployed. Then again, I'd be dealing with so many other things, I don't think I could hold down a steady job. So yeah, totally worth it.
So, I don't know if I ever told you guys this. But I've been protesting Pixar since they put out Cars. I refused to watch any of their movies, and tried to convince other people to protest too. I also sent them a few emails. Why was I protesting you ask? Because I wanted them to make a Toy Story 3. Luckily, they agreed to my terms...

I hate wait lists. I hate waiting in line. I hate any moment in life when you know exactly what you want, but someone or something tells you you're just not ready. Or maybe they're not ready for you. It sucks either way. Especially for me since I rarely know exactly what I want. I have decided however, what I want to do for maybe not the rest of my life, but for at least the next 10 years. Unfortunately, the powers that be have decided I'm two years too young.
What's so special about 21 anyways? Once I turn 18 I can go to war and LEGALLY KILL SOMEONE. I can make the decision to take away someone's life. But I can't be trusted to decide if I've had too many drinks? I guess not.
I hate when the blanket on my bed looks like there's someone underneath it and I get all paranoid.
I officially applied at Santa Monica College today. Life changes being made, that's what's up. This better work out.
I made a new melodica video. Because melodicas and webcams are my newest obsession. I contemplated trying to become one of those really trendy youtube superstars. Then I decided against it, that would take effort.
So here it is, the most triumphant song in triumphant music history.
All of My Managers. (Not an actual photo, but I wish)
Well, not all of them. But about 95.7% of them(there's a few cool ones). Maybe it's the shiny gold name tag that makes someone feel 20x more important in life than they actually are. I honestly have no idea, but damn near all of the "higher ups" at my place of work have inherited this disease. At first it wasn't that bad. But as time went on, they just became more and more convinced that they were somehow saving the world. Sometimes they even wear headsets! Headsets? I mean really, you spend less than 10 minutes on the phone per day. And you see how well a headset worked for the shamwow guy. Putting in my 2 weeks notice was probably one of my favorite moments of the last few months. Anyways, if any of you ever reach the point where you get a shiny gold name tag, please realize this does not mean you are now a superhero. The Justice League has done just fine without you.
All I'm saying is, if there was a meteor the size of Asia hurtling towards the earth at incredible speeds, that would destroy the entire planet on impact, and no one had any idea how to stop it, the first person I'd contact is: Lebron James.
I kinda left home for a while and forgot to tell everyone. My bad.
ANYWAYS. My week was amazing. I got to kick it with one of my BFF's andddd, I got to be in a promotional video, andddd I sold 2 Team ShawnWashington sweatshirts! I don't care what you did, my week was better, but I hope your ShawnWashington-less week was somewhere close.
...and it's about to get worse. But never fear, the best is yet to come. To quote Harvey Dent himself "the night is always darkest before the dawn." And...yepp.
Anyways, the amount of cool people with blogs continues to rise. Mollie. Alex. The internet will never be boring again.
I'm sick again. This makes no sense. Before this year, I've been sick like 5 times in my entire life. But all of a sudden I get sick once a month. The government is poisoning us. There is absolutely no other explanation. We have to fight back.
Actually I'm kidding, I'm just upset about the fact that they sent me a check for 9 dollars today. I really am sick though.
SO. Today I worked an 8th grade retreat for the first time ever, and in short, it was AMAZING. All the kids were perfect, and I can't wait to do another one. So yeah. In other news, the super secret mission this summer is not so super secret anymore, but it's still too secret for you to know about. Sorry. There was something specific I wanted to talk about in this blog but I can't seem to remember what it was. Instead, I think I'll just edit myself into pictures from old sitcoms that star black people. Oh, and I have a crush on Ricki Lake.(This one. Not this one.)
Today is such a good day. I slept in for forever, and I got recruited to work an 8th grade retreat, PLUS I have the luxury of knowing this coming summer is going to be the best one ever. I'm so happy I could explode into a ball of confetti, or a bunch of falling balloons that nearly suffocate people.
So anyways, Cam already posted this, but I don't care. This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen and I mean it. This guy takes a bunch of unrelated videos of people singing/playing various instruments off of youtube, and then fuses them together to create amazing songs.
I don't remember who told me about Skyler Stonestreet, but whoever it was, thanks. She's now on my top 10 female artists list which you should already know is like impossibly hard to make. She has a perfect voice, and is most likely better than whatever you're listening to on the radio right now. Plus she's super cool(she personally emailed me this song) and I like her music so you should too! Here's her myspace.
Kids are fucking cool. I enjoyed my week. and I'm going back soon. No matter what you say. Anyways, I'm hungry and I can't wait for summer to start already. PLUS, I got this whole week off. I don't know how, but I do. So let's do something fun.
Bruce Wayne takes full control of the "most mentioned list" battle between him and 'he who shall not be named' with a little help from the guys at The College Humor Show.
The thing that bothers me most about this guy, other than the fact that he shot a potentially college bound Ricky, who was one of the nicest guys in the movie, is the fact that he got away with it! Well, he did get shot, but he should have been the final dramatic kill. He pulled the trigger! Plus he's wearing a Starter hat. I'm not sure why, but that angers me. Even with the understanding that Starter was a really hip brand back then. Anyways, this guy is the definition of an African Booty Scratcher.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine Alright since the movie is finally out, I can now do an official review. This movie sucked. Well, it was alright. It started out really good, and it was all down hill from there. the CGI was HORRIBLE. And they CGI-ed everything. It was ridiculous. I suggest not doing close ups on Wolverine's adamantium claws if you can't make them look like something other than plastic. Deadpool(Wade Wilson) and Gambit steal the movie. Even though they both have about 10 minutes screen time. Will.I.Am should take some acting classes, and I definitely would have picked a different mutant to put in my movie other than The Blob, but whatever. You can watch this movie but don't expect anything great. Oh, and don't sit through all the credits to see the final scene. It's not worth it. So yeah, it gets three stars, but a very disappointing stars.
ZZ Top - I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide
Fighting SO, you go to see a movie called "Fighting" and you expect to see some, well, fighting, right? Wrong. There's a total of 4 fights in this movie, and they aren't very good fights either. Terrence Howard acts as sort of a talent scout for this underground boxing ring. He decides that Channing Tatum has what it takes to be great after seeing him throw two punches at a kid half his size. The kid doesn't even get knocked out. But anyways, of the four fights that he enters, he only wins two of them straight up, and I was never really convinced that he's a good fighter. I don't understand why Terrence Howard's character has to sing all of his words and why everything Channing Tatum says is a question. They tried to mix in an interesting background story to make the final fight more climatic, but it feels rushed, and I found it hard to care. Best thing about this movie is the soundtrack...and the grandma.
Hannah Montana: The Movie This movie was a lot better than I was expecting it to be. It probably would have gotten a higher rating if it didn't have Tyra Banks in it. Actually, the biggest problem I had with it is the silliness. I hate when the main character in a movie decides that instead of telling the truth, it would be better to run back and fourth between two places, trying to act like two different people. Plus Lily should have been in it more, she's the best. Anyways, I'd this movie again. It's almost as good as The Lizzie McGuire Movie.
Observe and Report Observe and Report was a little bit too dark of a comedy for me. It was funny, and I enjoyed it, but at times it felt empty. I'd still recommend seeing it, but don't expect a typical Seth Rogen movie. BTW, WTF happened to Anna Faris' lips?
Obssesed This movie is no different from any other Fatal Attraction type movie. It was good enough to keep my attention though. The main character could have saved himself A LOT of trouble by just telling the truth, but noooooo, he decides to be stupid about it. I guess smart people don't make very entertaining main characters. The fight scene between Beyonce(who does a pretty good acting job) and Ali Larter is a bit ridiculous, but whatever. Girls will love this movie.
Crank 2: High Voltage Speaking of ridiculous. This movie is the most ridiculous thing ever. Honestly. Don't watch it. Especially if you haven't seen the first one. It was fun though.
