In a conversation I had with my buddy Chris where he was implying that my moving out to Maricopa was akin to living out in the desert itself by saying I'm going to be "squatting over a piece of dessert [sic]."
"OH! You dope. DESERT only has one "S". Here I am imagining myself squatting over a piece of pie."

My birthday
I'll just recap briefly what today consisted of.
Woke up this morning and got ready for my interview at Alltel. They offered me the position at a buck and a half less than what I'm making now. But I'll actually have benefits and can accrue vacation time and such. I think it's a far better deal. After the interview, I had to go pee in a cup. Wee.
Rather than go to work, I went to go get some chinese food and on the way home, picked up a copy of Halo 3. Figured I earned it and since it launched on my birthday, it was fate. I came home, ate my food, dressed down and went into work for the second half of the day.
After work, I came home and just hung out for a while, fielding calls and text messages from people wanting to wish me a happy birthday. I eventually ordered a pizza and soda and came home. Hung out a little more, watching some more of season 6 of Scrubs. After that was over, I went into the living room and played Halo 3 on the HDTV. Fucking AWESOME!!!! Damn. I didn't realize I had played for three hours. I came back in here at about 11pm and figured my hiatus had lasted long enough.
Thanks to those of you who sent me the birthday greetings. I really appreciate it. My birthday wasn't so bad after all. I guess I just wanted to prepare myself for the worst. I'm pretty content with today.
Only problem: with Halo 3 sitting in my living room... I'm never going to get any packing done.

Yeah... I'm gonna be incommunicado tomorrow...
Tomorrow is going to be rather depressing for me so I've decided to go dark for the day. No chat programs or MySpace or LJ or anything of the sort. In fact, I think I'm just going to turn my computer off at the stroke of midnight.
So thank you in advance to all of you who send me your well wishes. Don't think they go unappreciated. This is just one birthday that I'd really rather forget. You guys have a great Tuesday and stay out of trouble. Or if you do get into trouble, post about it somewhere so I have something to read come Wednesday.

I have a rat crawling on my shoulders...
I love my girls. They're batshit.
I start my new job tomorrow. Everyone I know is wondering how I could work for the Evil Empire again. I tell them what I've been telling myself: It's not the old AT&T. The company I'll be working for used to be known as SBC which was one of the best companies to work for in the west. They just changed their name to AT&T.
I'm excited, though. It'll be good to be a grunt doing tech support again. I don't think I want to be management anymore. I'd like to get back into the wireless industry. Maybe be a cell tech. I dunno. I've come to this odd realization that I've lost sight of my goal. Once I became a supervisor, I sort of lost my drive because that's what I was shooting for and I made it. So... now what? I have to rethink things now. Where do I want to go?
I'll be leaving Arizona fairly soon. I don't know when. But I've think I've done all I can here. Now the question is: where to? There's any number of places I can go where I'll have friends. We'll see where things lead.

This is new...
Yeah, I decided to move my blog over to a site a little more professional than LJ. The whole SixApart thing was just getting too stupid so I decided to come over to Blogspot. I thought about going over to Typepad but that's owned by 6A, too, so screw that idea.
Well, since this is something that a lot more people may view, let me give you a little info about me and why I chose "MajorXero".
MajorXero was my gamer name. I used to play first-person shooters like Medal of Honor so I wanted something with a military ring to it. I was also really bad at these games so I went with "Zero". Rather than be totally lame (and cuz Xs are cool), I changed the Z to an X and thus, MajorXero was born.
Woo.
A little about me:
I'm 26, turning 27 on Sept 25. Born and raised in Los Angeles. I moved out of my mom's when I was 24 and moved to Anaheim. Came out to Phoenix when I was 25 with my then-girlfriend. Figured I'd try to grow more as a person by leaving the nest. Worked at a major wireless company until July of this year. I'll be moving in with a friend out in Maricopa, AZ at the end of this month. I'll be able to sever ties completely with my ex now. I'm not in love with her anymore, but I think I need a clean break with her. I've been living in our apartment since she cheated on me in May of this year. Time for me to move on by myself. Start exploring options on my own and be my own man.
I'm a big boy now.
