I found my halloween costume!

Since I've gotten several comments and questions about this picture, allow me to clarify.

This image is not an attempt to make fun of old people waiting in line at Wal-mart for their prescriptions.

On Thursday, Sept. 21, I had a cold. I went to Wal-Mart to quickly buy some Sudafed. Unfortunately for me, since that active ingredient in Sudafed is used to make methamphetamines, it has been moved behind the pharmacy counter and you have to ask for it in order to purchase it.

My timing couldn't have been worse. It was around noon, and as you can see a lot of people were standing in line waiting to fill their prescriptions. The situation struck me as humorous, so I took a picture.

Consider the record straightened.

Printed and properly bound. Now all that remains is to print more copies and distribute them to those who wish to read it.

I was talking with a friend of mine, and he told me something that he heard from God. It's not what you'd normally expect to hear from the big G, but I believe him.

God's been dealing with him about maturity, and apparently told him to "Grow the f**k up."

I find that to be funny.

Of course, some people may say that obviously it was not God speaking because God would not use bad words. I believe that God speaks to us in ways we can understand. For my friend, I think that something blunt like that proved to be pretty effective.

I just discovered that I have today off.

I don't really have any plans...but to have your whole day suddenly open up is a good thing.

My blog is currently called "untitled life" because I'm not really sure what direction my life is heading. I'm still not sure what shape my life is going to take, but lately I've been thinking about what I want in life.

I want a job that I love. I want a job that will enable me to make good money.

I want an amazingly beautiful wife. I want a family.

I want to be in a better place financially.

I want my life to be a success. This begs the question: what does a successful life look like?

Right now things are pretty aimless for me. I go to work, where I don't really have huge responsibilities. I come home and either watch DVD's or play video games. I'm not online nearly as much as I used to be. Not to say that this is a bad thing; I think what I'm doing right now is fine. Everyone needs to have some down time.

I feel like the place I'm at in my life is a time for rest. The time will come when I'm busier, but for now I'm supposed to rest.

In the past I'd feel obligated to justify why the above is a true statement, but times have changed. It's my blog and it make sense to me, so I'm going to write it.

Anyway, this period of time won't last forever. I intend to enjoy it while it lasts.

This post feels really rambly, but that's what happens when you don't know where you're going before you start writing.

I've been unofficially offered the assistant manager position. If the district manager gets approval, he should be making a formal offer by the end of this week. My promotion would be effective as of October 1. My pay will raise by a dollar an hour, which is good. I think I'm withholding leaps of joy until I find out if this is going to happen...but I think the odds are good that it will.

Making assistant manager in six weeks? Not bad.

I'm supposed to go in to the store in about 40 minutes to talk to the District Manager. He wants to talk with me and the assistant manager of the store about the "direction of the store."

I've been told by a friend at Game Crazy that I'm going to be pleased with the outcome of this conversation, so I'm guessing it means a promotion is going to happen. We'll see what happens. Another blog entry will surely follow...

I love my job.

Meet Brian. He works at the store, and is an all-around okay guy.

On an unrelated note, why do people stick out their tongues when they pose for pictures I take?

Lately I've been craving Cold Stone ice cream for some reason. This is my free Creation that I got from them because it was my birthday a few days before. It was delicious.

This is my friend Stephanie, posing at Underground for a picture. It's beautimous.

As you may or not know, Morningstar bought some of the old PTL property, and they are now holding services in one of the buildings. It's the first time I've been on the property in recent memory without having to worry about being prosecuted for trespassing. It was nice.

I decided to attend one of Morningstar Fellowship's services. I got there about 30 minutes late, and the place was pretty full.

I took this picture a while back, but just now was able to upload it. I don't remember where or when I took this picture, but it sure was a pretty flower.

Nate and I found a gas station that was selling gasoline for $2.49 a gallon. It was shocking. While Nate danced a happy dance, I took a picture.

While on the way back from Greenville, Nate and I saw a truck with a picture of what we presumed was the guy driving it. He had driven a million miles. Sadly, when we pulled up to the cab it was someone different.

I was crushed.

And my birthday is on Tuesday...

I am tired. Last night I closed the store, doing the administrative stuff by myself for the first time. This is only the second time I've closed. Hopefully I didn't forget anything obvious.

Today I'm traveling with my friend Nate to Greenville, NC. He is going to spend some time with the Chi Alpha director for ECU. I, on the other hand, will see my mother, get a haircut, and hang out with a friend from when I worked at Cold Stone. Do not fear, dear readers...this will not all be at the same time.

Then after a few short hours, Nate and I will be returning from Greenville so I can begin work at 8:30pm and close the store once again.

Fun times.

If God makes a promise, it's his responsibility to make sure it comes to pass. That means I'm off the hook.

Crikey! The Crocodile Hunter is no more.

Yes, that's a dog. He left without a video because he didn't have a membership card.

...I'm going to have quite a story to tell. But first it has to happen.

Oh, and my birthday is in 10 days.
