KB Toys R.I.P.



Since 2002, this was the only job I depended on as my life support. So many stories, so many people I've met, and so many experiences that I will never EVER forget. There will never be any job, or place like my KB Toys ever again. There will always be a Juan, a K1, a Lawrence, an Eileen, and even a WhiteDust. But not in one place.

KB Toys, 86 years of business. R.I.P.

Let me be your Anti-hero

When people meet me, they know they've just met someone really special. I know it when I present myself out there for someone to just try to figure out. I like to play stupid and asssume that I don't know how different I am. But I suppose I just need to get over it and just be real about how great I can be. How out there I choose to be. More importantly, how much I mean as a character to someone. Maybe to someone like you!

As most know, I don't believe in a lot of things, yet I have beliefs and standards I try to follow everyday. When I don't follow up on something, my close friends ask me why I didn't. My only answer to them is, "You wouldn't understand".

In someway, I have impacted some of you. Whether it be by meeting me once, or by seeing my rarely, or by seeing me a little too much. Whatever. There's just something about me you may not agree with either, but you just can't help but adore my character, and just think how outlandish I can be, how dumb, how lame, how childish, or even immature. But just think of how I can move you in some small way. Just think of how I don't think I'm wrong...most of the time (I'm allowed to think of my pros and cons).

To sum up my jibber-jabber, like Batman in TDK, I'm not a hero. I'm not some watchful protector, or a silent guardian, I'm something pretty basic that we all are on the inside. I'm your Anti-hero. I do things that aren't normal, I think things that aren't normal. I'm on the right side, but I hate the right side. But know I'm always on your side.

Me, your anti-hero.

This place I call my home, I cannot stay.

I went to go see "The Wrestler" last night starring Mickey Rourke, and thought it was one of the most real movies I've ever seen in my life. It was an accurate portrayal of how independent wrestling is, and how a past star has to cope with how his life outside his profession is completely different than the life he's suppose to be living; especially after years of doing what he's used to. Mickey Rourke did such a great performance, and I don't know if he could top such a role like this again. So if you are going to go see a movie anytime soon, please, go see "The Wrestler", and try not to judge, but feel it.

And by the way, my life has just made a major turn. Not a turn for the worst, but a turn for the better. In 2 weeks I will be moving out on my own, living 'the real life'. I don't want to go into too much detail, but I will say this, i'm going to be in a better place, and I will be living a more fulfilling life.
