Hi there,
Its been sometime again since I last posted in my journal. All has been good with a lot of work from both of my jobs so I can't really complain. I am trying to find time to good to an amusement park, but so far that has yet to happen. Hopefully I can get the chance to do so before summer ends. Sorry that this is so short, but not much has been going on with me.
Take care,
Cedric Smith

Goodness its been quite sometime since I last wrote a post in my lj. This past Tuesday I got a call from my supervisor at Tenneco. He told me that February 2nd I am to report back to work. What can I say I am so happy that I get to go back to work and make money again. I know what you are thinking I am already making some money at the part-time job with the dollar store. Its not as much as I'd like but it got me by for a bit. Now that the full-time job is back in play I am back to having two jobs. The only bad thing is I won't ba able to have a lot of time on the net like I have had for this month. My goal now is to get my savings up a lot higher.
In bowling I am struggling on the lanes. I've been doing way too much thinking and my performance has indeed suffed. The game is something I enjoy I just hope I can get back to doing better. That is all from me for now.
Take care,
Cedric Smith

Hey hey
Today I finally got myself an ipod. I had been fighting with myself for about three months if I wanted to get one. Its an 80 gb ipod and I love it. I only have about 543 songs on it so I look to add more songs once I can get to my main cd caddy, but its in a box somewhere. Thats all from me for now.
Take care,
Cedric

Hey there everyone,
Well I am now wearing contact lens and I have to say its getting a bit easier with putting them on. Not to mention people say I look better with them on than my glasses. I am not sure how I am going to do this, but I am wanting to go to some anime cons and would like to see some of my friends. That is all from me for now, but I will try to update my live journal when I can.
Take care,
Cedric

Hello,

Work has been really busy so I haven't been able to do much with anything except bowl on Sunday nights. Well that all I can really think of to write about.
Take care,

Hey there,
I thought I would let you all know that my parents and I have moved to a different part of the area. That is the main reason I haven't been able to get online at the moment. I'll try to get online when I can okay.

Hey there,
I thought it was about time I went on ahead and posted to my journal. Its been one long tough week since I work seven days a week with both of my jobs at Delphi and at Dollar General. I have noticed no matter how much I try to help someone it seems to always backfire in my face. So I have decided to just not worry about doing that anymore. I know stock piling money is a good thing, but man gets so tough sometimes. Thankfully I am saving up enough money so I can be ready to go out on my own when the time comes.
In other news.....May 9, 2007 I competed in the Greater Dayton Bowling officers tournement. I found out today that I won first place overall in that competition. I am so happy that I did so well at it. I even got a check for $175 for getting first place. I know the money will come in handy since I have been wanting to get a new ball bag for my bowling balls. Other than that nothing other than working. Well talk to you all again soon sometime.
Take care,
Amara_alan

Today I went was at Anime Punch to see my cosplay friends I use to run with when I was still able to cosplay. I have to say it felt so go to be asked about and to see their happy faces. As for the con itself since I was only there for a day it really could have been better in many ways. There wasn't much to do and limited panels. Other than that I would rate the con a five. Well it was nice to see you all. And don't be a stranger and comment or chat with me online.
Take care,
Cedric

Working at the plant |

Hey there,
I'm back with an update on how everything is going on with my new job. Orientation went very well and I have been working in the plant. I was working in the machine area where the modules for the struts are assembled. My supervisor moved from there to the inspection area. So right now I am an inspector of the struts come through before they are shipped out to the buyers. Its not all that hard just a lot of checking on the parts. For the most part my supervisor is a nice guy and the crew I am working with is neat too.
I'm also still working at Dollar General since I have my benefits there. All I can say is I'm going to do what I can with both jobs. That is all from right now so I look to update again soon.
Take care,
Cedric

Hey everyone,
I have very happy news. Delphi a productions plant that makes shocks and struts called me today and offered me the job I applied for about three weeks ago. I will be starting my orientation on January the second of 2007. I am so very happy that I passed all the requirements. Hee hee I am so happy right now I could bust. Now I will be keeping my current job with Dollar General since I have health benenfits with them. So I hope I can keep the productions job as long as I can. So as Damon Waynes would say "Mo Money Mo Money".
Thats all from me right now I just wanted to let you know the update that I got the job offer.
Take care,
Cedric

Mega Man's victory |

Hey there,
I got to spend time with a very good friend of mine I haven't seen in over six years. Her name is Fiona Oroflo and we met back in 2000 at Anime Expo. It was rather interest to hear from her. She called me and asked if I was doing anything. I told her it was my day off ans she said if it was okay for her to visit. I said yes and talked her through getting to my home here is Dayton since she is now in Columbus.
I have to say its was nice to see her and I hope we can hang out more the next time I see her. That is all from me right now.
Take care,
Cedric

Stage Selection: Mega Man 5 remix |

Hey there gang,
Its just me the guy that everyone that skipped town. I've been working so much lately and its a wonder that I was even able to post something here. At Dollar General I have new boss and she is really a lot better than my previous boss. Although I am the on person closing at night, but I don't mind at all.
The good news the fall bowling season is going to be starting up in two weeks from today. I am really looking forward to it. Hopefully this time I can bowl that three hundred game that slipped away from me a year or so ago. Tonight is the meeting at the 776 post to see who all is coming back this year. It'll be good to see everyone again. My goal for this time around is to carry a 195 average and have a little bit of handicap pins. Thats all from me for now.
Take care,
Cedric

The Cave of Wonders |

New month means new lj icon. So fare I have been doing okay at work. My boss is still liking everything I am doing. Though pretty soon my hours are going to drop due to us hiring a new person. I don't know how soon that will be, but when it does happen I am going to have to find a way to make more money. The video store up the street is looking to hire managers. I am thinking of doing that as a second job. Tomorrow before I got to work I am going to see about getting an application and filling it out. Don't get me wrong I love working for Dollar General, but I can't survive on a schedule that isn't current.
Only one more week of bowling until our league is over. You would think I would have rolled a perfect three hundred game by now, but not yet. I hope I can get it before this last coming of bowling is over. I need to see about joining a summer league so I can atleast stay consistant. Doing that wil hopefully get me ready for next time the fall league beings. The fall league won't start again until late August. Starting at the end of this month for the next 39 months I will start making payments back to the unemployment job and family services. I probably didn't tell everyone this, but I mistakenly took unemployment benefits when I wasn't supposed too. Now the state of Ohio is wanting there money back. This is the main reason I have been not at cons if you all wondered whats been happening with me. I assure you as soon as I can get this money paid back in full I should be able to come back and see you all at cons.
Speaking of cons I have been behind the scenes listening and reading your reports on the con experiences. I've got to say that its really bad that most of them went the way they did. Cosplay contest I may not compete in do to it not being in my best interest. Lets face it my friends I have nothing to prove against anyone. Cosplay for me is really fun and seeing my friends. I know a lot of you are really good at competing in all, but sometimes I think its all that is thought about. I like socialize with my friends on how they have been doing and what new cosplays or animes they have seen. I know as of late I haven't been able to talk to you all as I'd like to online. Being busy with my life and knowing my friends are busy does make it hard. Hopefully the year will allow me to do that.
Cosplay wise if everything goes well I am wanting to cosplay as the follow.
Aisha Clan Clan: Outlaw Star
The Fight Clow Card: Card Captor Sakura
Thunder Demon Soten: Inu Yasha
Nyan Nyan: Fushigi Yuugi
Jam: Guilty Gears X2 (White and black version)
That is all from me now so I'll talk to you again soon.
Take care,
Cedric

Hey everyone...^^
Long time no see I really need to write more in my live journal. Anyway I have been working a lot at the Dollar General. Last week we were busy getting the our store aisles reset for plan-a-gram. Luckily we got it complete to a point though we still have a lot more stuff to do. My boss Ms. Mellons has really liked my attitude at her store. The customers really enjoy seeing me when I ring them up on my register. So I really am happy working at Dollar General. My funds are slowly going back up as we speak. Once I get it high enough I am going to get that bill to the state paid off.
Many of my friends have been asking "Cedric when are you coming back to doing cosplay and anime conventions?" As of right now I don't know when I can return. I was looking to take this year off and return next year. Though I am thinking about hitting Ikasu Con for one day. I can't say if I will be able to go since I am trying to get myself back on my feet so I can move out and get my own place. Just to let you know I miss all of my cosplay buddies. You guys have really been a great part of my life.
Cosplay wise I have two ideas I want to do, but I would like know from all of you who else I could dress up as. My two ideas are Cosmo from Sonic X and Souten from InuYasha. Let me know who else I could be okay. ^^ That is all from me for now, but I thought I would write and tell you all I am doing fine.
Take care,
Cedric

Two weeks in working and its really going good at Dollar General. So far saving money to pay back the bill I owe to the state is going slow. I'll be happy once I get it taken care of. I am off this weekend and just enjoying this time to myself until I go back to work on Monday. There has been one problem my co-workers were complaining that I had more hours than them. My thought on this was my boss was the one that had me work those hours. I have no problem working what hours are given to me. I guess that will happen from time to time. Thats all from me right now.
Take care,
Cedric

I got the job today the Dollar General. Vicki the manager of the store called me this morning asking how soon I could come into the store and work. I told her I was on my way. I went and told my parents that I got hired. I helped straighten out the stock room since it was a mess. I am happy that I was approved to work via the background check. Though this is a part time job I am happy I got hired. That is all from me for now and I'll be back again soon.
Take care,
Cedric
