My Life

UPS, Fedex……What do they have in common???

They both SUX!!!!! Neither one can deliver on-time EVER. Least where I live, cuz I live in a very weird and out of the way place. Not sure if many people even know of the place, its called SEATTLE, WA! Yea, really out of the way place. Must be that since we are so out of the way it is hard for them to find us and no matter if you ship something next day, 2nd day, or hell….even ground it will never reach me no matter what in the hell either of their web sites say.

Now, if you are bored and have nothing else to do with you day…I suggest you email me and ask for a tracking number. Don’t worry I have more then enough to share. Then use their site that will always tell you they are on schedule to deliver your package on-time. Then call their “customer care” center. Now what is a customer care/service center you ask. Basically, it a place you call that usually employs a couple hundred people that between all of them together don’t have enough intelligence combined to know that when it is raining, to go inside.

Guess going to the store and getting is still the better way to get things. Sad, that the idea of customer service, as with most things these days is lost or dying. We accept false claims companies tell us. They make promises and fail more often then not and you are lucky if you can even get someone to say they are sorry for failing to keep their promise.

Needless to say I cant stand using either of these supposed shipping companies. The funny thing is, the US Postal Service I have the best luck with. Not to mention much cheaper. Think I will work on this a post a update to this post.

Bombing in London

Very disturbing news today with multiple bomb blasts within the transportation system. Many have died leaving thousands stranded throughout the city unable to get home. This is very disturbing to see terrorism has raised its ugly head again.

All the best wishes to everyone in London and throughout the UK.

One of my goals is to complete my degree in London so this hits me pretty close to home.

Life today

For some reason I seem to keep having a problem writing in this thing on a regular basis. But, I am going to try harder to do so. Not sure why, just feel like I need to keep a journal about how things are going. Posting it on a blog seems like a kewl thing to do. Maybe it is a way to keep myself accountable.

Overall, life is pretty good right now. Keeping with my goals, and working to get my degree. Know that all my life I have never believed that I could do anything like getting a degree. Seem to just work to make enough to live day to day. Never really taken a real vacation. More like weekends here and there. Now I look back on my life and wonder what the hell was I thinking.

Goes without saying that it has really started bothering me. Not like I haven’t been able to have more then most people in away. Just wasted time and opportunities seems to have happen. One of my goals is to not let that happen anymore. Lost more chances then I have been able to capitalize on. Simply that just has to stop.

Right now with school, my photography and video work I feel the need to push myself hard. Find myself feeling like a kid with it all and I don’t think I want to lose that feeling.
