Vitamin C Kickoff

Vacation's what I wanna do
Party on the beach, fun for me and you
We don't need a holiday, it's time to celebrate!
Repeat after me: "I need a vacation."

After a long time of (im)patient waiting... I can proudly say that my vacation begins now... =D
yay.

Phasing Moment

Today's August 9 - the eve of my vacation. With less than twelve hours to go before my vacation officially starts and a week before my 23^rd birthday, it's pretty much inevitable that things will fly out of left field.

Sometimes we just aren't prepared to face the present as it unfolds. Corporal Brigitte Stark would know that personally.

As these (fun) events inch closer and closer, they no longer float about as part of the future, but as the present we continually keep living out. As such, these left field things will keep being thrown my path, and I must adjust to the constant rain.

Cryptic and confusing chatter aside, let's just see what's got me shaken up as we inch closer to the future now.

Twice More

It would seem that my theory on the last days before a vacation being the longest is correct. Last night at work was, well... let's just say long. Tonight will probably prove to be the same. Yay.

Trudging Into Monotony

It's taken me a while to get myself woken up, but I am finally conscious and ready to go through the nuances of my day. Alas, by the time I was ready, it was 1300 - a little less than three hours before the start of my work shift. Yay. *rolls eyes*

I just keep telling myself, "Okay, Josh. Just today, tomorrow, and Thursday. That's all you have to bear with until your vacation starts, and then it'll be ten days where you don't have to worry about jack."

As that happens, though, I have this feeling that those three days will somehow be drawn out and almost elegiac in nature. Like I said yesterday, life feels like it's doing the exact same thing this week... as it was the week before that and the week before that... and so do the work shifts I'm having to conquer and get over before relaxation becomes the chief focus of the day.

I've got things to do before then, so it's best if I get going for now. Until the 'morrow.

Elegiac Repetition

Sometimes I enjoy it when life decides to steamroll onward without me. It gives me some time to reflect on things and think about my place in the universe... and other things like that.

Gods, I'd hate to be that poor bastard right now. (*BETRAYAL!*)

However, it's not fun when I'm in front of life when it decides to steamroll onward. *winces*

Sweeping Entry

There's no decent entry today because I'm busy cleaning and going to work. At the same time. Because I'm just that awesome at multitasking. (Not really. But I digress.)

But if it's any consolation, tomorrow's a day off! I can write something better than this! Until then... *continues doing stuff*

Directions of Doom

As it's Saturday, that means the weekend is here. We need to start this weekend off right. That's why I think you should get vitamin gummies. Or at the very least, those gummy snacks that give you 100% of the daily value of Vitamin C.

Twilighticious!

Welp, I've got mine, so let's just go get today started. It's essential that you get yours, too... because if you don't, bad things could happen.

Of Tanks

Good evening, everypony! Today is the third day of August, and that means only one more week until my fantabulous vacation starts up! Surprisingly, I was given the day off (A Friday off? IMPOSSIBRU!), but unsurprisingly, the last few days at work have kicked my ass up and down the store.

When she's not fighting evil by moonlight or winning love by daylight, Usagi Tsukino does the one thing she does better than whining: sleeping.

I needed this time to rest, recuperate, and get myself ready for the grueling six days that stand between me and this amazing session of time-off days. So, I decided to take a personal day to loosen up, relax, do nothing, and enjoy the day off the way I want to: the way I want to. Nothing better than lying back, kicking your feet up, casually sipping down a cold one, and thinking, "Today's great."

Contrary to the picture shown above with this opener, I did not spend the time catching up on sleep. Rather, I - *doorbell* Oh, snap! That's the pizza I ordered before I started typing this up! Gimme a second and I'll be riiiiiiiiiiight back! *runs off to answer the door*

Relaxing Stress

The second day of August feels like the first, except I'm not as inspired as the last one. I suppose that's because I'm practically on autopilot and waiting for this vacation of mine to appear.

Speaking of which. I never thought it would be possible to stress out over planning what's supposed to be a relaxing vacation. With so many ideas circulating and so little time to execute all of them, it's become a bit of a hassle trying to coordinate schedules and times for things.

One would think that ten days is an absurdly ridiculous amount of time to begin with, but when you keep cooking up ideas, it's kind of a problem when you're trying to mesh everything together. Because sooner or later you're going to wind up with things like time constraints, a lack of back-up plans, a fixed schedule, some jerkass who wants to stay by the schedule, and an unnecessary load of stress all piling up... just waiting to drown you and everyone around you.

But yeah. That's how it goes.

The August Front

August is now officially here. Like the start of last August, I've succeeded in keeping all my entries posted on time thus far, and I have the feeling that it's going to be an interesting month (if not entertaining).

"Don't Forget to Do Good" is what this rock's message reads. The story behind this goes that one of my co-workers found this while zoning in our toys department over a year ago. Whether it was accidentally abandoned due to negligence by a guest or deliberately left behind in an attempt to promote positive thinking is something worth pondering about.

Unlike last August, however, this one promises to be even more memorable and ridiculously awesome than the other one. And somehow, I can tell that it'll be a good August this time around. (That's not to say that last August was bad - this one just holds more promise.)

So let's go off and have ourselves a war against last August - against monotony and dullards across the globe! Let's make this battle month a memorable one filled with camaraderie and entries! Let's perform good things and vanquish evil ones!
