So long, Tumblr.

I’ve really very much enjoyed tumblr. It’s the most customizable blog service I’ve ever seen, and having Twistmyfate.com hosted on it has been a lot of fun. However, I think it’s about time I go back to using the domain space I’m actually paying for. My friend George aka Burn has been designing me a super cool theme for Word Press, and it’s about time I join the rest of the blogging world and convert everything over to WP. I’m going to miss Tumblr a little bit. I wonder if it will miss me too.

Anyhow, with the conversion to WP I will be adding actual content to the site. (Eventually) and I’ll probably be opening up hosting again. Horray, get your own blah.twistmyfate.com address and host your site with me! Or not. Either way I’ll still love you.

Everyone should be on the lookout over the weekend or early next week for my new layout and website to launch. I’m super excited for it!

Have you ever..?

Have you ever poured all of your energy into someone, or something.. only to have that person / thing not give anything back in return?

It’s feels like…
Heartache —
Frustration —
Depression —
Paranoia —

but most of all.. it hurts. 

My Hero / Idol

So, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce all of you to my idol / hero - person-thing. His name is Bryce Avary of The Rocket Summer. TRS / Bryce is a one man band, he plays, composes, and records all of the instruments on his albums as well as writes the lyrics and sings. 

Bryce is a musical genius — that’s why he’s my idol. The below video is of a loop song in which he plays an instrumental part and then a machine loops it once he’s done. I was fortunate enough to be at a concert and see this spectacle live. The below youtube video was the best thing I could find that could even remotely capture it’s amazing-ness.

Enjoy —

..and once you’re done be sure to check out The Rocket Summer.com or his My Space and fall in love with the band like I have many years ago.

My new shift.

Currently, until May 30th I’m working at Comcast from 12:30 to 9 PM. This shift pays a bonus shift differential of 50 cents. This brings me to 11.50 an hour, plus commissions. Now, this is only a temporary shift until I get to bid on my new shift in the upcoming shift bid, which I did today. 

They scheduled me to do my shift bid on my day off, which sucks. Instead of driving there I called it in. Now since I’m a newbie it means I ranked very close to last on the list. Meaning I got the leftovers of the leftover shifts! They told me the EARLIEST shift that started was at 2:30 PM. If I start after 3 I get a dollar extra an hour. Sooo my new shift is 3:30 pm to 12:00 AM, with Sunday’s and Wednesday’s off. It’s not soo bad! 

Uhm, I may be switching to WP soon. It depends on if my friend George really makes me a layout or not. So, uh, cross your fingers? 

PS:I love Dani!!

Work Rules My Life (Life Updates)

Comcast is slowly starting to rule my life. Not really, it just feels that way. I’ve finally been fully trained in all aspects of the call center and can theoretically take any call that comes in. I’ve not started what we call “nesting”. That means I’m taking calls like I would if I were on the regular call center floor for four weeks only we have two escalation assistants who will help us if we run into any problems. Fun stuff. If you live in the South Florida area and you call the call center, there’s a slight chance you may here me say “Thank-You for calling Comcast. My name is Justin. How can I help you?” in my super enthusiastic tone! Yaay! 

Aside from the whole job thing my life’s been going good. My boyfriend Dani and I celebrated our “month-a-versary” yesterday. Although he’s still up in Palatka, FL where he lives. We plan to have him move down and in with me in about a month or so. I’m super excited. Horray!  

I’m really into American Idol this season for the first time. I’ve never really watched a whole season, but this time I am. Normally, I just watch the finale. It’s become a “family time” thing we my mother. Every Tuesday and Wednesday we sit down, make dinner, and watch Idol and vote for our favorites. I’ve got to tell you that my favorite right now (and prob. will remain) is Adam Lambert. If you don’t watch Idol, go to YouTube and watch this man sing. It’s awesome. 

My financial situation is (starting) to look up. Hopefully it will maintain this positive flow and I’ll be out of debt in about 100 years! (Haha.)

In website news… I really got nothing. I want to redo the layout and add content. I mean I do have a server/host with cPanel and all.. but I really like Tumblr and I think I’m going to keep it as the homepage or at least the blog page. I’ve thought about switching to WP but I’m not all too sure on that. I also want more affiliates. So anyone who wants to be “affies” should email me! 

Thats all for now.

Love you lots! 

Earth Hour

It’s earth hour! I hope everyone is participating! I’ve moved the song and lyrics from the last post to this one!

Below are the lyrics to an awesome song by MC Lars featuring Simple Plan. I’ve also included the song its self. Enjoy!

Check out that noise in the background! I’m mad green right now. It’s a biodiesel generator!
I’m using it to run the computer studio for the recording of this album!
I got it with this gift certificate I won at the Save the Sea Turtles Marathon Run dude!
Check it out! I wrote all of the lyrics on my arm because trees are too important to be
used as paper you know what I’m saying? Let’s get sustainable!

I got a letter from Al Gore the other day
I opened and read it, it said we’re in trouble
It said “Go Green!” What’s that mean?
Bought a hybrid hummer to save gasoline
Went to Live Earth in my private jet
Just like Sting and Kanye West
Let’s save the earth with area rock
(Pyrotechnics are very sustainable)
(I’m going green) Can’t you see? I keep the AC above 63
(I’m going green) Hardcore like Slayer, here’s 27 fliers on the ozone layer
(I’m going green) Because I care, use organic aerosols in my hair
(I’m going green) So my grandkids will remember,
when you couldn’t buy ocean property in Denver

It’s not easy being green (it’s not easy)
Having to change that old routine (it’s not easy)
The climate change could be extreme
It’s not easy… it’s not easy

Went to Sea World with a giant net
To save the whales but they got upset
Brought Shamu to the parking lot, didn’t get far
Couldn’t even fit one fin in my car
Recycling’s great, but my roommate didn’t smile
When I tried to make a couch from his rare Beatles vinyl
Gotta separate plastics form the glass
Even though it’s a pain the morning

(I’m going green) Aerosol cans are terrible so I
Spread the word with spray painted signs
(I’m going green) Love animals for real, you see me clubbing with baby seals
(I’m going green) Bought a Prius to save on gas
But I fly every weekend in first class
(I’m going green) So my grandkids will remember,
when it wasn’t 500 degrees in December

It’s not easy being green (it’s not easy)
There Will be Blood for gasoline (it’s not easy)
I drink your milkshake like that scene
It’s not easy… it’s not easy

It’s not easy being green (it’s not easy)
Santa Claus’s sleigh will need jetskis (it’s not easy)
The polar bears might need sunscreen
It’s not easy… it’s not easy

I bought size five Vans at the local mall
To make my carbon footprint half as small
I wrote this song to express how I felt
About climate change and glacial melt

You know the movie
The Day After Tomorrow?
That could happen dude

I even rap in haikusÉ what!

Manhattan (could be under water)
LA (could be under water)
Vancouver (could be under water)
London (could be under water)
Detroit (could be under water)
St. Louis (could be under water)
Chicago (could be under water)
New Jersey (but who’d miss Jersey?)

It’s not easy (it’s not easy)
It’s not easy (it’s not easy)
It’s not easy (it’s not easy)
Woah, oh

It’s not easy being green (it’s not easy)
We’ll tour New York by submarine (it’s not easy)
We’ll scuba dive the Bronx and Queens
It’s not easy… it’s not easy

It's Not Easy Being Green

Your light switch is your vote! March 28th (tomorrow) from 8:30 - 9:30 PM is Earth Hour. This means that for these sixty moments of your life, you should turn out every light in your house. The point of this is to save energy and help stop (or rather slow down) Global Warming. 

The whole process is being organized by the WWF (that’s World Wildlife Fund, not the wrestling people. :P) If you participate in earth hour it counts as a vote. The goal is one billion votes and all votes will be presented to the World Leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. 

How will they know that you have shut off your lights and “voted” you ask? Logging your vote is easy! You can record your vote by posting a blog during the event, taking pictures, recording a video, or updating your twitter! After (or during) such time you should log onto the offical “Earth Hour” website. ( http://www.earthhour.org ) and follow the instructions there to record your vote. I want everyone to take part in this! Global Warming is a very serious issue, and the world needs our help! You guys remember the movie The Day After Tomorrow? That could happen!

We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.

VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.

I'm a Comcaster!

Heeey!

I have so much to update anyone who cares about my life one! Haha. I’m not even sure where to begin. Let’s see. I guess first would be… I have a new job! Finally… I was beginning to think I’d be jobless forever. Heh, I really like my new job. I’m an Account Executive for Comcast (cable) now. That’s really just a fancy way of saying I do customer service over the phones. :P But I really like it. I’m having fun. 

I’ve also got a new boyfriend. His name is Dani. Yeah, he’s pretty awesome.  

On a totally unrelated note.. my leg just fell asleep and it hurrrtsss! 

I’m so bored I’ve been watching funny or interesting commercials on YouTube. I’ve decided to share some with you before I go. 

The Comcast one looks like a bad acid trip. lol 
 

Well, I could go on FOREVER posting these videos.. but I’m not. I’ll just share those three. Until next time… I LOVE YOU!

Drunken Girlscout Rant (VLOG 2)

Some friends and myself had a little party the other day, and as you can see.. I got a little.. well.. drunk. Here’s what I had to say about girl scouts.
