What a waste of time

2006-06-09T17:00:32Z

I realized today that I could have been studying Science and Human Anatomy on the internet for the last year I've been working here rather than sitting here on Myspace, LJ, and AIM. I guess I really didn't know I was going to be this interested in it until recently and I can't change the past so I'm going to start studying every day I work now. I love being social but we're all going to die if we don't do something. Bye bye!

Worst Buy

This is the complaint letter I wrote to best buy. I just thought it was funny and I wanted as many people to know about my experience as possible. FUCK THAT STORE!

This is the first time I have ever written a complaint about any service I have received so hopefully I'm writing this in the correct place. I recently visited your store in Daytona Beach, Florida on International Speedway BLVD. I left my job at 6:55pm and arrived at Best Buy at 7pm. I began looking for the game Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. I found it pretty easily on my own. I then began looking for a link cable to connect to my friends X-box. The store didn't carry any link cables for the Original X-box and I wasn't sure if the X-box 360 cables were compatible. I then began looking for assistance. I noticed that there were no employees working in the video game section. Then I wondered around looking for an employee that wasn't already helping a customer. I saw an employee walking my direction and we looked directly at each other and before I could say anything he turned and walked away. Then I noticed 3 employees talking in the TV section. I asked one of them about the cables as the other 2 walked away and he said it wasn't his section and he would page someone for me. I heard him make the page but no one came after at least 5 more minutes of waiting. It was about 7:20pm by that time. Then I walked to the front of the store and asked the door greeter who was authorized to answer my question. He then pointed me to a female working the CD section. She was talking to another employee when I got to where she was and he was blocking my way so I asked him. He asked her to help me and then suddenly her voice became quiet and raspy and she told him that she had laryngitis. She didn't even look at me while she was telling him. Then he laughed at her and convinced her to help me. I was feeling pretty uncomfortable and unwanted as a customer at the time but my attitude with your employees never changed. I was polite and smiling the entire time. She then let me follow her around the store to ask the other employees about my question. After asking about 5 more people we found someone with an answer. He said that he was pretty sure that the System Link Cables for the X-box and X-box 360 are the same as Ethernet cables for a computer. He told me to ask The guy in the computer section to be sure. I proceeded to the computer section at about 7:25pm. The only person manning the computers was talking to another customer at the time and there were a group of 3 others waiting for him. After finishing with the first customer he left swiftly and went into an employees only section of the store. The group of 3 people looking aggravated and asking each other "where did he go?". Then about 30 seconds after that I saw 2 other employees coming to the computer section. They seemed more into talking to each other than helping anyone around them. I saw one of them dealing with another customer and she seemed really short with him like he was aggravating her. Then the other stopped talking to her and I tried to get his attention. I asked "Are the X-box link cables the same as ethernet cables?" He looked right through me and said "yeah!" and started walking away. I wasn't even done talking to him so I asked him "Are the X-box 360 cables the same thing as well?" He said "yeah!!" again seeming even more short and aggravated than the first time. I then went and picked up the 360 cables and thought about how mad I was. At this point It was 7:30pm. It took me 30 minutes to get 2 things and I had not even payed for them yet. I then set the items down and left the store. I asked the door greeter if they had forms to fill out about customer experience in the store. He told me that I have to do it online. I don't see any forms referring to my needs so maybe he was just being lazy. I just walked out to my car and proceeded to go to Circuit City which is about 5 minutes away. I arrived at about 7:35pm. At this time I was paying close attention to how long everything was taking due to the fact that Best Buy took forever. I found my game a bit faster than at Best Buy, only because they had a smaller selection of games. Then I found original X-box link cables. The game was $29.99 and only $19.99 at Best Buy. I then asked an employee about their Price matching policy and he was very polite and told me that they match any price within 50 miles or something like that, smiled and told me to take my game to customer service to see what they could do. They matched the price. As he was ringing me up I told him basically why I left Best Buy and he laughed and said he hears stuff like all the time about that store and he was interested in checking about it himself for a laugh. I checked out and left at 7:48pm. I know that the amount of employees working at a particular store or chain of stores directly affects the prices of the store. I refuse to pay for service I'm not receiving so I refuse to shop at Best Buy again. My family has spent over $3000 in computers, video games, dvds and car stereo equipment and installation. I regret every penny. If you have read this entire letter then you have given me more service than I received at the Best Buy store and I thank you greatly for your time. I don't know if there is anything you can do to redeem that particular store in my eyes but you can try if you want. I really don't want anything but the service I'm entitled to as a customer. If I get a reply or something then I might continue shopping at Best Buy when I move to Las Vegas in 6 months if there is one near by. I love the way your store is set up and I love the amount of products you carry. You have good prices but they can be matched. Again thank you for listening.

Sincerely, Jonathan Ponder

Mary Had a Little Lamb

2006-05-16T20:22:10Z

Today I hung out with my friend Amiee. It was fun. It was way too long since we hung out. She taught me how to play Mary Had a Little Lamb on guitar which is hilarious because I've been playing music for about 7 years and never bothered to learn it. Not only that but Amiee doesnt really play guitar haha.

Life Extension

2006-05-05T20:17:42Z

I've decided to become an Immortalist and devote my life to a carreer in life extension. This doesnt change any of my views on life. I don't necessarily believe I will be the one benifitting from my actions or if anyone will at all for that matter. I just feel like the only real purpose in life is to fight the negative forces that restrain us from acting out what we have in our minds. That's how we got here and thats how we will stay here. I don't think it's wrong to not want to be a part of immortality. I think it's everyone's own personal business.

When do we draw the line when saving life. When is it a bad idea to save your friends and family from not existing. If your crossing the street and notice a speeding car headed towards you and you do everything on your power to avoid getting hit, are you playing God? Will you be punished by God for not being so anxious to see him yet? If thats the case then why is suicide a sin in the Christian religeon? It's always been the Christian way to try your best to be good, clean, and just take care of yourself in general. Where does this behavior stop? Lot's of different things can kill us. Is it any more wrong to avoid an invisible enemy within ourselves than it is to avoid a hurricane? Hurricanes used to be undetectable until it was too late and still are in some cases. Everyday you are alive and you eat food and drink water you are preventing death. If you have a problem with humans living forever then you won't mind if I slit your fucking throat right now.... FUCK YOU QUITTERS!!!! GO PLAY TETRIS OR SOMETHING!

Another 4 Day Weekend

2006-03-23T17:52:20Z

I had an awesome 4 day weekend. Now that my work schedule is usually 3 days in a row, I will be having lots of them. Friday I had band practice after work. It went good. I think we're gunna sound a lot different than before in a good way. Saturday I finally went to Melbourne to see August again and I had a lot of fun. We went to a party and I met a few of her awesome friends. They had Mortal Kombat 2 the arcade game. It was pretty amazing....that was like my favorite game as a child. I wish I could have stayed in Melbourne longer. I miss her too much. Sunday I had band practice again. I'm so glad I've been practicing guitar a lot lately because these guys challenge every fiber in my brain and I love it but I needed the head start I guess. Monday I took my car to get the CD player, A/C control bezel, and new antenna put in. My car looks 10 times better now on the inside. I'm super happy about it. Tuesday I finally went to see Between The Buried and Me. I brought mike, and my band minus Brett. It was nice finally driving my car with a CD player haha. We arrived at the show a couple minutes late but it was early into Haste the Day's set. None of us were there to see them anyways so it was perfect timing. BTBAM played second and they were awesome. I'm really happy to see that there are still bands out there that can actually play good live. Rather than hacking there way through some studio trickery that they could never pull off even if they were talented. Anyways, they were awesome. I only wish they had played longer. After them was Every Time I Die. They bored the shit out of me. I'm so tired of their style and it only gets worse as the band gets older. They used to be awesome. Oh well. Then Bleeding through played. They're kinda boring to me also but at least they have a super hot female keyboardist for me to stare at the whole time they play hahaha. I got a couple much needed shirts after the show and then I took everyone home. Nothing unexpected happened. Anyone reading this is probably disappointed... I'm just glad my plans went smoothly for once. I think this post is long and lacking substance....maybe I'm just insecure or have a different outlook on life. Just tell me I'm wrong.

Living Again!

2006-03-16T00:50:38Z

Sooo! I'm really happy about having a car and being able to do what I want, when I want to. I'm driving it to Orlando next week to see Between The Buried And Me. My friend Mike is going with me and probably a couple other people too.

My band is also back together. We're probably changing the name and only playing new songs though, so it's kinda like a new band. Hopefully it all works out with that. Past problems kinda worry me at times.

I can't wait to see August!!!

Car!!!!

2006-03-16T00:34:37Z

I just bought a car last night!!! I love it! It's a Silver 2000 Civic Hatchback DX. It only has 65k miles and it was only $4600. I got a super deal and I'm super happy about it. I'm in a band again too.....It might be a secret or something so I'm not gunna get into it. I'm very happy about that though and my car. Now I finally get to live like a human being. I can see all my friends and stuff and yeah....YAY!!!!

Lightning

2006-02-08T17:49:49Z

My apartment was struck by lightning the other day. If anyone misses me then that's probably why. All my phone lines were destroyed inside and out. My computer was fried. We took it to Best Buy and they said the motherboard was burned up. Maybe more than that. We even had one of those boxes for $150 that are supposed to protect from lightning strikes. We're gunna call the company and see if they will buy us another computer. My parents already bought another computer last night so then we will have 2. My TV in my room and the sub-woofer for my parents stereo got fried too. I hope my TV can be repaired at a decent price. I miss it a lot ha ha. Me and my parents bought a bunch of appliances the night before and luckily they weren't plugged in yet or they could have been ruined. One of the people in another apartment said some of their stuff got fried too. So there are probably issues with the whole building. Crazy shit.... I still didn't get a car. Not having a phone makes it really hard to call people from Auto Trader. Blah!

You Are 17 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Everyone says I look 17 also. Weird.

Hmmm....

2006-02-03T16:34:02Z

I'm cleaning what appears to be candy and saliva off of the keybord. I'm so happy that it's my job to clean up after people. I guess I deserve it. Poeple that are constantly cleaning after messy people deserve to keep doing it right? It can only be one of two people. It's probably both. It wouldn't be anything new from either one. I'm not a fucking janitor!

No Myspace!

2006-01-18T16:41:12Z

I'm pretty pissed because now I can't use myspace at work. The company that works on our computers and stuff blocked it because it's considered a dating site or something stupid like that. I'm bored. Livejournal is my new friend by default.

Even though it's against everything I believe I'm goign to try and get a cell phone this weekend. I'm gunna need it when I get a new car. I'm going to be visiting my friends that live out of town alot. I don't want to end up stranded on the highway or something. Hopefully I find a car that I want to buy soon. I'm getting antsy!! Ok so I've been antsy for like a year. MEH!!!

Blah Blah Blah

2006-01-11T22:51:44Z

Ok, This thing is useless if I don't write in it. Does it really matter though? Am I in actuality wasting my life by using valuable time to recollect what ive already done and probably wont forget anyways. Just to have it judged by other people so they can have some opinion about a piece of me that is only defined by the other 99.99999% of me. Life is short. Does information take up physical space? Where is the information in this journal held? It's in some server somewhere and it's on the hard drive. Does it take up a physical spot on the drive. Just a bunch of compressed information. It's still there though. So I guess information is physical. So if our memories are just brain tissue formed to store information then I guess part of our brain is always changing and like floating around while we are thinking. There is a lot going on during the thinking process for the brain to be physically rearranging meaningless tissue into thoughts. I have to figure out how it works exactly if anyone even knows for sure. Noone knows anything. I'm also tired of the way I use this journal and that's why it's going to change or die.

Death

2005-12-06T07:47:57Z

OfADetergentSud: if my head was frozen and my body was cloned then i would just wake up again
theboogeyman78: i dont think we can cheat death, because there is no reason to
OfADetergentSud: yes there is
OfADetergentSud: thats what you are doing every day
OfADetergentSud: and why?
OfADetergentSud: to hold on to what you have
OfADetergentSud: and to have a future
OfADetergentSud: if you die then you lose everything

OfADetergentSud: thats what has fucked up my mind
theboogeyman78: if we were supposed to die than there would be no reason to live
theboogeyman78: bummer

It's been forever........

2005-09-23T22:24:39Z

So........I haven't updated in like 5,000 years. I quit doing drugs and drinking, at least for a while. I really miss the occasional bong rip though. I'm never drinking again. I'm trying to get a hold on my health. I went on a 30 day juice fast and cleared up my anxiety and depression. Now I'm a lot better at guitar and I don't have writers block anymore. The fast didn't do much for my arthritis though. Maybe it will come in time. I did do a lot of detoxing. A few months before the fast I somehow gained an insane morbid outlook on life though that can never go away. I know too much yet still too little.............

What now!?!?

2004-09-23T09:31:42Z

Well aperently the scene outside on my lawn was a bigger deal than I thought. Everyone in my apartment complex saw me passed out and some of them thought I was dead and were about to call 911. I guess the guy that helped me up told them not to but my sister told me that he told my parents and they were freaking out. They haven't said anything yet and im starting to wonder if they are going to. I don't really care at this point though but it sucks that they found out cause I just don't want them to worry about me.

I really wanted to practice with Angels & Demons today. I don't know what happened. That band is too much fucking fun. I can't wait to play shows again. Espaecially with a band that plays at this level.

Yay!!

2004-09-18T23:25:44Z

I found my band's key. It was outside on top of the mailboxes for my apartment. Go figure hahaha. I have no idea how it got there. I also took that drivers class for the ticket I got in my accident. I'm a lot less stressed out now. I'm never losing the key again.

Ummmm...do this and stuff.

2004-09-18T04:41:54Z

1. Who are you?

2. Are we friends?

3. When and how did we meet?

4. Do you have a crush on me?

5. Would you kiss me?

6. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it.

7. Describe me in one word.

8. What was your first impression?

9. Do you still think that way about me now?

10. What reminds you of me?

11. If you could give me anything what would it be?

12. How well do you know me?

13. When's the last time you saw me?

14. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?

15. Are you going to put this on your journal and see what I say about you?

The Captain made me do it!!!

2004-09-17T04:32:53Z

WOW!! Last night was crazy. I had band practice and the cops made us stop playing before our bassist even got there. So we went to our singer/guitar player, Micah's house and our friend Jackie came along too. We smoked some crippie till we were all pretty high then Jackie's brother came over with some goodies. He had a case of beer, some Captain Morgan spiced rum and some Xanax. I had like 2 beers and 4 shots and then I snorted a little Xanax. Needless to say I was trashed. I moved to a chair closer to the bottle of Captain and had like 2 more shots and the next thing I knew I woke up in my front yard. A guy from upstairs in my apartment building came and woke me up cause he thought I was dead. I've never blacked out like that before. I still have no recollection of what happened between sitting in that chair and passing out in my yard. Even when people try and tell me what we did. Apparently my friend Mike told me that a bottle cap was weed and I tried to smoke it and then I layed on my face for a couple hours. Then we walked to the end of the street and turned back and he took me home. He said I ran into a mailbox when I got out of his car and then proceeded to walk into my apartment but I guess I didn't make it all the way there and Mike already left. So I just slept the night away in my front yard and now I have what looks like chiggers or ant bites on my hands, arms, and legs. Oh yeah and I lost the key to my band's storage unit somewhere along the way. I hope I find it because I don't want to have to cut off the lock and get a new one. Jeeeeeez!!! I'm never doing that again.

Hurricane Frances

2004-09-02T05:47:23Z

Looks like Hurricane Frances is most likely gunna hit here. It's only been 3 weeks since the last one and this one is way bigger and stronger. I hope all my stuff is gunna be ok. I don't have the money to replace any of my music equipment. I might store my stuff at my drummers house if it looks like it's gunna be bad because he has homeowners insurance. We can just say the amp is his, and in a way it is because I'm in his band and it would be a big loss to him too. Flooding is the main thing I'm worried about because my apartment is really sturdy and the wind should'nt do much damage unless a tornado hits us or something. I think my dad is gunna sandbag our front and back doorways. It's weird though, as much as I don't want anything bad to happen, I can't help but get kinda exited like a stupid little kid.

Haircut

2004-09-01T03:52:54Z

I finally got my haircut. At first I didn't like it but then I learned how to style it how I want and I like it a lot now. I'm happy.

AHHHHHH

2004-08-29T10:12:59Z

Ok! It's been like a million years since I updated so I'm sure no one reads this anymore. A lot has happened in the past few months. I crashed my car on a rainy day, my radiator blew up later and prohibited me from going to work, my band broke up, and I got back with my ex girlfriend from like a year ago and we just broke up again and I'm totally depressed. I don't feel like going into that unless you really wanna know so just IM me. Now I have a new band and its way different. I hope people like it. I'm used to playing metalcore and this band is like really original weird emo punky stuff. I like it though. I've been spending most of my time writing songs with our guitarist/singer and he writes really catchy songs. Maybe I'll be famous someday and then I can buy a fucking car..........UGH!!!!!!!!!
