I’m a busy idiot, what can I say? It’s not my fault I have to drive like 45 minutes to get to work now, not to mention the fact that I had to wake up at 3:30AM on Saturday to get to work. Oh man, it’s been nuts! But it’s going ok.

If you are just tuning in (or maybe I haven’t said anything about it) I transferred from my Starbucks here in town, to a store near my college. But since I haven’t moved to college yet, I have to commute to work. It’s fun and weird at the same time. The first day we opened was so freakin’ sucky. No joke, I couldn’t believe it. Everything that could go wrong went wrong. I mean, our bar broke, our grinders broke. So pretty much if you wanted any drink with espresso in it, it wasn’t going to happen. So that’s that. I’m currently in the process of doing “shift-lead” training and trying to get a promotion. It’s kind of cool, I’ve been with the company for about a month and I’m already starting this. I guess it’s good, more money is good.

You know, I’m drinking a cup of coffee right now. Coffee is good. Of course this is a cup of Starbucks coffee. I get to bring home lots of coffee. I guess that’s what happens when you work at a coffee house.. I realized the other day that I don’t like to write my journals with a lot of thought going in to them. I just type. Seriously, and whatever makes it on the screen is what goes. I type about 60-65 WPM so, it’s easy for me to type what I want in a timely manner. Do you have any questions about me? I was thinking maybe everyone doesn’t know me anymore? AND ARE YOU SPREADING THE RUMORS ABOUT SHAYCAM.COM?!?!?! TELL PEOPLE ABOUT ME!! I think I’m famous?.. haha.. ok, maybe not.

11 days until I am supposed to move to college. We’ll see what happens.. *oh, the mystery. See yah!

PS. Make sure you are getting out of your house in intervals of oh, 5 minutes. The sun is shining and the birds are singing. Don’t let summer pass you by, or, what’s left of it. :)

Ok, so that’s fun. I mean come on, it’ s not every day I think of something new to do with my camera. haha.. I’m all sidways and stuff and you guys are all confused about it. oh don’t even start that!.. I know confused you are. You love it. You can’t get enough of it. You come to shaycam all the time now don’t you.. oh don’t lie!!! You LIAR!! You are here every day reading the journal for the second or third time and then you read the guestbook to see what girls are hitting on me. Oh man I love it! I can talk about anything I want.. INCLUDING your obsession with my site!! ok, enough of that.

I’m in a good mood to say the least. I just went and saw “Mr. Deed’s” for the second time. It’s a great movie. Seriously, I like it. School is coming soon. I’m opening up a new Starbucks in Castaic next week, so that should be fun. I’m doing some “lead” training right now and we’ll have to see how that goes. I apologize for the amount of time it is taking me to get these journals uploaded. I’ve been working like a mad man! Oh but guess what?.. I got my Dizmas CD yesterday!! The real deal, with artwork and all that! Oh man it’s hot!! You should buy a copy, I’m not sure how, but just find out how… maybe go to one of their shows. My best friend is the lead singer, they rule! ok, I’m outta here, this enough for one day… ok, ready.. bye.

“.. Dear Shay,
The sky is blue today with just a few small clouds and very little wind, but hot, so I am staying indoors…” - grandma Thomason.

I received a letter in the mail today from my grandma on my dad’s side. I have only ever gotten two letters from her in my entire life (18 years) and they have both come in the last two months. The first one was for graduation, and now this one. What I wrote above was how she started out the letter. It’s so funny, and really, I guess cute at the same time. I do not know why she has decided to write me, but I love it. She says in her letter that there were two people that were upset that they didn’t receive thank you cards from me for graduation. I really don’t know who she is talking about? But it’s ok, she’s cool. When I opened the envelope the back of the paper read this “My hand got tired!” and it made me laugh.

There is so much simplicity in a grandma. Yet, they are so complicated at the same time. It’s weird that we get to grow up to meet our parents’ parents. You know? I never really got to know mine very well and I regret that. But I guess it really didn’t have much to do with me, considering it’s pretty much up to your parents whether or not you get to see your grandparents or not. But it’s ok, I guess. I’ll get over it.

Today has been an interesting day. I have been awake for just about 18 hours now. I had to wake up really early to be to work by 4AM. So, needless to say it’s been a long day. I’m in a calm mood, and I really don’t think that anything right now could happen that would really disturb me; I’ve been awake too long.

I guess my mind is starting to ponder things. Like why God lets things happen, or why we are tempted, or even why he would give us a way out our temptation. That’s the coolest thing ever. There is always a way out of any temptation, and God gives it to us. Don’t you think that is cool? Thanks for getting inside my head for 5 minutes, I don’t know if I’m worth that kind of time, but apparently if you got this far I am. See ya..

I was thinking a little bit today. You have lots of time to think when you go to a museum. Well, let’s talk about that first..

My friend took me to see the Andy Warhol exhibit today!! Oh man, seriously it was rockin’.. that guy was the coolest. No joke. You should find some of his art and check it out. But anyways.. We went down there for what we were calling the “best-shay-day-ever”. Tons of fun, no joke.

But anyways.. I was thinking about my journals and stuff and how like when I write I really don’t care about what people are thinking about my writing. The reason I was thinking this is because Andy has some photo’s and different things that he did work on that were pretty disturbing. But he really didn’t care. He also did work for huge companies like Campbell’s and Coca-Cola. So I don’t know. I really don’t know how you tie those two things together or whatever.. but ok. Anyways. I really appreciate all the emails and stuff you kids send. I read everything.. including my guestbook!

So, I guess this site is getting pretty dull then. I really don’t have much to talk about and I don’t know why. I’m doing lots of cool stuff these days. I even bought a new watch (featured at our right! :) ) But, I don’t know.. things are looking up.. except for the fact that I work at 4AM tomorrow. Oh, and I’m moving soon.. to college that is. I wonder how that’s going to be…?

I know I haven’t written in a while, but I guess I just wanted to build up the suspense of what today is.

HAPPY 1 YEAR BIRTHDAY FOR SHAYCAM!!!!!!

Yeah, so, isn’t that the coolest? I thought it was cool. So we should all throw a birthday party for me or something. Ah, maybe not. hhm.. maybe someone will throw me a surprise party?.. ok, that’s wishful thinking. But I just wanted to let you kids know that you are what makes shaycam possible. haha.. it’s great. You kids are awesome! Thanks for being faithful to find time to read my journals and take a peak in to my room at what I am doing. Soon I will be moving to a new location, so that should be kind of fun. College should be a blast! I really can’t wait, oh man. I’m going to be getting a new laptop and I’ll have this computer and stuff so we should be all set. Maybe I’ll buy another camera?.. hhm.. never know. I’ve always got some tricks up my sleeves. But that’s that.

I’ve really been doing good the last few days. Things are going well. I got paid today!! YEAH!! Getting paid is the coolest. It means I can buy stuff. Like right when I got my check I went over to the mall and bought Super Mario World 2 Advance!!! Oh man, you know the game. You probably remember it from Super Nintendo. It’s the one with Yoshi. Oh heck yeah. I like it a lot!! So I guess that’s my birthday present to myself. I think I should be getting my camera a birthday present. I have no clue how the heck that would work, but oh well. He still likes his little spot on top of my screen, and sometimes on my shelf. So that’s that. I’ve got some plans tonight so, I think I am going to go get started on those. haha.. I’m not sure what that means, but ok. You kids have a good July 19th! And yes, I know you will all be celebrating, so on behalf of everyone here at shaycam.com … Drink responsibly. haha.. (I don’t drink.. just to let you kids know that.. haha..) ok bye..
