Working and School
Nov 30th
For the past semester I’ve been working a full time job doing electronics sales. During that time, I’ve also been trying to go to school and actually get my degree in psychology. Mixing the two was nothing but a big mistake.
I wouldn’t doubt that there are some people that are able to do school work and hold down a full time job, but somehow I just can’t do this “be two places at once” bit. I fully enjoy the work that I do over the internet, mainly because I can actually do it while I’m busy doing other things. However, it’s just me trying to be at work all day, then coming home having 8 hours to either sleep or do school work. On a usual situation, I find that I pick sleep, because without it, I can’t function, and when I can’t function, I can’t do either.
I can say that because I have tomorrow off, I can actually join you tonight to express my feelings about this subject. I have no more homework to do since the semester is basically over, but I can guarantee that my sales job will be pushed out of the picture by the end of December strictly so that I may finish my degree.
Money does make the world go ’round, but these days, an education can give you more opportunities than anything else in the world. This is why I can honestly say that I look down on those who drop out of school and don’t show and initiative to further themselves. However, I look up to those who have that certain drive to get things done in their life and not just sit around and mope about how hard it is to get a job.
I would prefer to not quit my sales job, since I do have expenses and I do know how hard it is to get a job, but just because I know I could do a heck of a lot more with the education I have in line for me, I will be.
I’m probably writing in circles here, but it’s all I can think about lately. I want to make sure that I can afford everyone’s Christmas, but then I won’t be seen at HHGregg anymore.
Trust me when I say that I don’t HATE my job. I hate the hours and how much of my life it takes out of me. No one I know likes to only go out at nights or on the same days I have school. I love, however, the flexibility that my other job gives me and the emotional payoff it has. Sales just gives me a monetarily greedy payoff, which I am actually sick of. I want the paper that says that I’m smarter than most Americans in the field of psychology, not the papers that say I am richer than the typical lower classes of America.
Note to Adam: I hope I made it clear that I’ll be staying on-board especially starting January.
Some Clarification
Jul 30th
Okay, folks. I think it’s about time SpecialKolin, here made a point of telling you all something. Straighten some things out, since some people like to make a stink about some things.
First, I am not, nor have I ever been a hacker. When I make that statement, I mean that I have not forcibly done anything harmful to another person’s technological property (whether it be on-line or off) however, I can admit, that I do hack a bit of my own things (computers, game systems, iPhones, you get the picture).
Secondly, I have openly admitted that I have an anger problem, and I’ve been dealing with it for 3 years. Certain things just set me off, and I feel absolutely terrible for my actions.
Thirdly, I do not have in my possession any property of any of my exes’ except a few things of Amanda’s for obvious reasons, and I have the first Ashley’s cat ears (yes, it was me who took them 
).
Fourthly, I can openly admit to my mental issues. I do suffer from depression, and I tend to be psychosomatic. However, I don’t believe in claiming to have a “pregnancy scare” 2 months after being broken up with someone. Anyone with a brain can tell you that it’s impossible.
Fifthly, I’m not a pedofile. Unless you want to say that I tend to date younger women, which is true, but I do nothing illegal, there’s also nothing wrong with it, so get off my case.
Sixthly, I’m over all my exes… I don’t want to be with any of them, so why would I stalk any of them. I’m friends with at least half of them, so there’s no need to stalk them. And if you’re thinking I’m stalking you, please, don’t flatter yourself so much.
If you’re a person trying to spread these rumors, or even believing them, I’ll be forthcoming and just say that you are an idiot.
Sorry for being the asshole, but it’s just how I feel

Howdy y’all!
No, I’m not a redneck now…although being up in the bible belt for so long might make you one. I’m starting to feel like Stephi every so often, my southern accent slips at times when I’m around locals 
Anyhow, mom and I have been spastically moving my Aunt Babs out of her apartment. Today we basically finished. Tomorrow is the furniture move, since we’re donating all of it, I do believe. I’ve gotta get up at 8am as usual to leave at 9:30am, and be at the apartment by 12. I’ll be moving furniture all day, then my Uncle and his family will be here, I can only hope I have the energy to stay somewhat awake.
I’ve added one thing to the site called “Life Stream.” It aggregates my posts around the internet (not my tweets, cause they get auto posted here anyway) so go have fun with it, if you’d like.
I’ve taken some time to do a couple drawings lately, something I haven’t done in a VERY long time. Feel free to check them out…I don’t know if they’re any good.
Alsooooo, I’ve signed up for a RedBubble account, which I’m still setting up. Head on over to my account (found here) and you can check out a couple photos that I have up, and from there you can actually order prints and such. Now, here’s the awesome part: by buying a print, you’re actually helping me out! Cool huh? Now, if you’re on my Flickr, and see a photo you’d like the print of, e-mail a link to the photo to Kolin@SpecialKolin.com and I’ll get it put up as soon as possible. On top of that, I’ll lower the price as much as I can, just for you!
Awesome news! My site (the one you’re on, smarty) is officially 1 year old! I’m so proud of my baby. Keeping a server isn’t cheap, but it would definitely help if you sent in a donation…not to sound like I’m begging or whatever, but times is hard, you know, times is hard.
