So, today I really don't know what to write about. I just wanted to write, so I'm just going to let this take me where it takes me.

I wish I was in school. I've been thinking about it a lot lately and I really wish there was a way for that to happen. I'm sure it will eventually, so I'm not worried about it or anything. I've been wanting to have some sort of writing degree for a long time. You know, a lot of people say that if you take a year off after high school before starting college, you'll put it off and never end up going. I think that would have been a good plan for me. I don't think that right out of high school I was really at the maturity level to carry myself through school. I think that, for some people, being forced to work full time for a year, at least, would make people appreciate school more. Then again, it would probably only work with people who hate their job.

I was planning on using part of the $500,000 I won tonight to go back to school, but alas I did not win Mr. McMahon's money. Oh well. I would say there's always next week, but due to his unforeseen injuries, they're suspending the sweepstakes. Which leads me to think, what would I do with $500,000? After tithing, I would pay off all my debt, first of all. Fairly basic stuff here. I would buy a house. Not a very big house at all, but big enough to be comfortable and fix it up the way I want it. Then I'd get myself and Tiffany new cars. Again, not big flashy new cars, but just good ones. After that I'd use the money to go back to school, maybe while taking less hours at work or something. What would you do?

Gosh, I wish I had some good ideas for fiction. I can just feel a story inside of me but I can't put words or mental pictures or thoughts, for that matter, to it. A few years ago I made up a character that I really like, and have always wanted to write a story about him, but it never really came to fruition. It's a hokey fantasy/action story though (heavily inspired by Final Fantasy games), and I don't think that's what's stirring inside of me. Obviously, I'm not sure what it is or I would start writing it. I've always wanted to be an author or a screenwriter or something. Screenwriter might be more like it, but I have no idea how to go about writing a screenplay. Another reason I'd like to be back in school. I messed up so bad that semester at OU; I just straight up wasn't ready for college. I think I'd really excel at it now, considering I had the time to concentrate and work at it and stuff. I wish they offered more degrees and courses online. Unfortunately, there aren't many specialty (if it's even specialty) degrees that are offered online. Meh, plus all of this would be put off until Tiffany could finish school anyways, because she's super close to finishing and I know it would be important to her to do so. Anywho, I'll stop whining about school.

I read the Bible and listened to some Christian music while at work today, and I honestly think it helped my day a little bit. I find I'm a very little bit more patient with customers and don't let things bother me as much. I've only tried it today, so we'll see how it works in the future. Tomorrow we start taking Homeowners calls in the classroom, so the off-the-phones training is pretty much over. Totally lame. Oh well, it was very nice while it lasted, even though I had to take a few days off and I wouldn't have even been on the phones at all those days. Obviously I'm not complaining because I had an excellent time at camp, but I'm sure you get my drift. There have been a couple job openings at work (I think I mentioned this previously), but unfortunately I don't believe I'm eligible for them until I've been with the Swing Team for a year (which would be December 1). One of the postings, and being in class these past few weeks, have made me think that I might like a position in the training department. That would be pretty cool. I don't know, I just hope things start looking up at my job.

I finished Acts today while at work and am moving on to Romans starting tomorrow. Reading my Bible every day has been awesome still, and I'm looking forward to doing it more in the coming days, weeks, months, etc. Also, I'm really digging Skillet, and they're coming to Tulsa in August and Tiffany and I will definitely be there. Tickets go on sale this Saturday. If you're interested in going, let me know! Speaking of tickets, I can honestly say I'm glad that we didn't get tickets to WWE Raw coming up next Monday. In case you're a loser and aren't aware, they had a draft today, and a ton of people left Raw that I really would have wanted to see. So, that was lame. I feel a little bad for Josh and Sheila, as they're still going and are now in the same boat. Josh even said he's wanting to sell his tickets now.

I think I'm tired enough to sleep now, so I'm going to be ending this. Thanks for reading. COMMENT, and I will see you soon.
