Cheap, effective, strange, delicious!

Okay, so what do you need to make them?

Well, take a hot dog bun, or piece of bread...slather one half of it with peanut butter, the other half with your favorite jelly.

Next, take your hot dog, drape half a slice of your favorite cheese on top (I personally prefer pepper jack) and cook in microwave for 30 seconds or until cheese is all melty.

Place hot dog in the hotdog bun and enjoy! For some extra craziness and a little crunch, crush up a few potato chips and sprinkle them into the hot dog bun before putting the hot dog in.

Enjoy. :D

Adam Richman of Man v Food fame goes around the country taking on existing food challenges...and has conquered everything from a giant ice cream sundae to the hottest Indian curry from anywhere from Anchorage, AK to Brooklyn, NY. But there is one thing Adam has not done that I have.

And that is MAKE a food challenge.

Lately I have been hanging around the Wing Shack. They have two locations in Springfield, one off National Ave near Grand....and one inside the Battlefield Mall.

Every time I go there, it's the same thing...six Nuclear Wings...made super mega spicy with EXTRA habanero sauce, no dipping sauce, no beverages and no napkins...and the added challenge of finger licking required.

I've dropped that every single time and I've told them of the idea of them making it a food challenge.

And well...they said "do 10 and we'll consider it". So guess what I did on Friday before work. :D

Exactly. 10 Super Nuclear Wings, no sauce, no beverages, no comforts whatsoever. And they will make it a challenge!

Maybe this'll put the Wing Shack on the map.

Eat your heart out Adam Richman. :P

If it's a feeling of total failure. An overwhelming need to hurt yourself over the fact that you simply by existing, cause pain to so many people. If it's the idea that every flaw you have is intrinsic and unfixable and every mistake you make is amplified 10,000 fold just due to the fact that you are God's only mistake...someone who never should have been placed on this earth to begin with...well then...you'd be me.

The funny thing is, through the little spurts of happiness...this is the prevailing feeling I have to live with every day. The feeling that your life, your very existence, even when you try your hardest, brings joy to no one. I am sitting here right now attempting to find anything good about myself, anything I did for anyone that had a positive impact on anyone...and to be honest...I can't find anything. And please, don't say it's because "i'm just me" because that's EXACTLY the problem. Because I am me. Because I exist there is so much suffering in this world.

I'm alive and I shouldn't be....if my mom was only right about one thing...it's that.

A bit of a work in progress, colored version to come later, but the lineart is so good to pass up.

On my birthday, KP managed to sneak out a commission from Cirrus, one of his friends, as a birthday present. Well, I kinda turned it into a present for him as well and what turned into a birthday present for me (Sept. 17th) turned into a birthday present for him as well (Oct. 9th). So...without further ado...

YOUR NEW FURRY TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD!

Ring the bell!

Enjoy! Colored version, and one with my spots, will be up laters. :D

Or are my entries becoming more and more pointless since my move here to Missouri?

Just trying to figure that one out because I honestly don't seem to have much to talk about anymore. Same old crap at school, same old crap at work, same old crap at home. Nothing really of interest, nothing really cool happening. Just, life. It's to the point that the days run together and I don't even know, or care if it's Thursday, Monday, Saturday whatever. Who needs a calendar when the 9th is the same as the 29th? Days melt together and I really don't care for it anymore. I need something to give me direction. Something I can say "that was worth getting out of bed for." but I guess that just doesn't exist here.

-Kameron

And well, a bit of a question swimming in my head because of it.

Now, anyone who has followed my journal knows I do possess a lot of book smarts. You stick me in a school/academic setting and let me blow your mind. I have no question as to how smart I am in that regard when I have an Associate's, and going for a Bachelor's and Master's later, a 3.73 GPA, Magna Cum Laude honors, Phi Theta Kappa honors and so on, the fact I speak three languages etc.

So yes, I possess a lot of book smarts.

But there is one area I lack in it seems...street smarts, or common sense. This is the real world. Like I feel lost when it comes to balancing checkbooks, dealing with credit card statements, getting my plates renewed, making and cancelling reservations etc. The kind of stuff that one may need to know during interacting with the actual outside world. Like I said, I have the book smarts, but when it comes to real world problems, I have no idea what to do about them and there lies the problem.

How can I progress in the real world when I can't deal with the problems, or my brain can't process that kind of information as opposed to a classroom setting?

I dunno, just a thought I guess.

-Kameron

Well, here's your chance to just tear me apart. Go ahead and just rip into me and make me feel like the most inadequate, useless waste of oxygen you've ever had the displeasure of knowing. Make damn sure I know how much of a waste of time knowing me has become and how my life should have never been valued by anyone at any time for any reason. Come on, I know you want to. Just go right ahead and do it. Any takers...anyone at all.

Seriously, just do it. Comments are screened so you have no limits to how hard you want to attack me. Just do it. I need this. I need to stop thinking I'm this "good person" when I've done nothing for anyone.

EDIT: Thanks to a really really good friend of mine, I feel better. I just seriously needed to clear my head and let these negative feelings that had crept in to make their exit. I think what made it hard for me to stop it was I didn't understand what exactly had caused it in the first place, but some elucidation on what might have led up to it helped me in identifying and thusly eliminating the problem.

That movie is extremely creepy and freaked me, Jamie and Vanessa out. Seriously...I was scared brainless towards the end...and I usually LOVE horror movies!

So yeah...short entry, but really...Paranormal Activity was really really scary. The whole found footage, amateur camera stuff worked well for the movie.

Ever have one of those days where you should just stay in bed? That was my day yesterday. Woke up from a nap after my 7am class. Had work from 2-10. Well, tried to get something to eat, ended up breaking a plate...then tried shaving and my shaver quit so I'm left with a half shaved goatee that I can't do anything about because I have to be at work in 20 minutes. So I drive to work, get stuck in traffic, am late for work, get chewed out by managers...kept screwing up orders, burnt an order of pies, burned my hand on a pie rack...twice, got royally cussed out by one customer who thought I called her fat (I was just wondering if there was a seperate order since the man next to her had said nothing and she just ordered one drink) and even at my scheduled time to leave, I had clocked out and still had to stay an extra 45 minutes off the clock due to some idiots who came in after we closed...oh well. So all in all, a failure of 24 hours.

But today, now I have tonight, tomorrow and Monday off and I am currently at my friend, Jamie's place, her and her friend, Kim are fixing their costumes and we're waiting for Nate to get off so we can head off to a party. I'm currently dressed as a random ECW wrestler (complete with my boots) and well, looking to have some fun tonight. So yeah...I'm sure pictures will be posted as they come up. Keep your eyes peeled!

Happy Halloween and remember...

...all the ladies want to be with me...all the guys want to be like me. ;)

Well, the thing is working at McDonald's, it kinda gets tiring and old after a while. Especially when I work lobby and end up cleaning the same tables, sweeping the same floor and doing the same thing over and over again even if it's been cleaned 15 minutes before because we have nothing else to do. At least when I'm on register I feel like I'm actually doing something for when I'm serving customers and well it comes easy, but yeah, it gets kinda tiring doing the same thing over and over.

But yeah, yesterday was one of those hell days. Had to work counter all night by myself as whoever was supposed to come in at 5 didn't show and we got hit with dinner rushes at 5:30, 7 and 9....and it was crazy.

But the good news was...I got my paycheck and am now $373.61 richer and waiting for it go up from there. In other words....YAY!

Alongside that, scholarship hunting has been both frustrating and fruitful at the same time. I'm putting in scholarship applications left and right, sometimes it's hard with the essays ones...but I'm trying. I just hope I end up with something good.

Onward?

...is actually not too bad, although I feel like I preferred 2009 better. Honestly, outside of the updated roster, the game really didn't offer too much that would make it different from 2009 except for the "Championship Scramble" match but whatever.

Jamie had me come over to her place Saturday after she got off work. I had the day off completely and we both haven't hung out in a while so we did that. It was a nice experience and after reading the dang instructions (those manuals actually do come in handy), I went from not even being able to get in/out of the ring, to WWE Hardcore Champion.

So really, I enjoyed the game, but I don't think it's something I'd have to run out to the store and buy.

Other than that, nothing really to report...classes and work and the like.

The time is now. The place is here. The future is not a certainty of what will happen but an ever changing possibility of various what may happens and it is up to us to shape and mold it to the best of our ablities to attain what we want to accomplish. Case in point right now.

As everyone is aware, my ultimate goal right now is to get out from my parents' grasp and to finally be out on my own and to continue my education on my own terms rather than their asinine expectations.

As such, I'm taking huge steps forward, reapplying to Point Park University in Pittsburgh and the University of Central Florida, and keeping my eye on scholarships and apply to as many as I can in hopes of landing some third party financial help while waiting for the earliest I can do my taxes and the FAFSA so I can get the most out of grants and scholarships and work-study and less loans. Consequently, upon further investigation of UCF, I'm seeing their College of Education (since I want to be a teacher) has Apprenticeships for undergrads that could potentially cover all tuition, if not a big chunk of it. The biggest hurdle to overcome in UCF will be the big out of state tuition differental which Point Park University does not have, however Point Park, being a private college has a huge price tag to begin with...however, with the huge price tag comes with huge financial aid program.

I'll have to delve deeper into UCF to see what more they offer in terms of financial aid and see how it stacks up to Point Park University. Either way, if I end up at either of those colleges, my self-esteem and confidence will skyrocket as Pittsburgh is approximately a 16-17 hour drive from here, and UCF is nearing the 24 hour mark....at least if you make the mistake of driving through the panhandle, so I don't have to worry about my parents and their harrassment.

But yeah, I'm taking control of my destiny. This future is mine to make and I'm gonna make it work and work good.

Hey hey everyone in LJ-Land. I know that I have been complaining about not having an actual day off in a long long time and well, I finally had it on Friday. So, what did I do? Sleep in until noon? Watch TV lazily and just goof off for the day?

Actually, no. :P I used that day to get a butt-load of things done that needed to be done, plus a couple extra side projects.

Woke up around 6am for my 7am class. Got to class, found out I had two missing case studies, so after class, I blasted through those, plus a journal review for Educational Psych. Then, got home right before 10am, grabbed my debit card and headed out again...went to the Wal-Mart on Independence to have my oil changed...then while I waited, got my hair cut...and even stopped by the Ted E. Bear Toy Factory to have Todd unstuffed so I could run him through the washer and dryer (first time he's been washed in the near four years I had him.) It was a two hour wait for the oil change however, so I picked up a few groceries at Wal-Mart and when my car was finally out...I headed back home.

I put Todd in the wash and flipped on the TV. I caught a CSI marathon and watched a couple episodes while taking care of the natural disaster area that was my room. Once Todd was washed and dried (along with my work clothes from both Petsmart and McDonalds and some pj's) I ran back out to have Todd restuffed and resewn up so now he looks like what he did when I first got him in December of 2005.

After that, I swung by Petsmart to check my next week schedule, then swung by Panera to use their free wi-fi so I could take care of my car insurance bill. Finally got home around 7pm.

Once home, finished up the rest of my laundry and read up on Chapter 6 for class. Then just unwound and tried to crash in bed early since I had to be at McDonald's at 8am the following morning.

So in summary:

Two missing case studies
One journal article review
Oil change
Groceries
Hair cut
Car Insurance
Todd unstuffed/washed/restuffed
Clean room
Laundry
Study for class

Done...on the day off I sorely needed. Funny how I still was working? :P

Ah well, today I have, luckily, another day off and this time I think I'll actually use it for its intended purpose. Sleep and relaxation, lest I forgot to do something else I needed to get done.

On a side note, working at McDonald's in the morning isn't as likeable as the evening shift. I really felt like it was my first day all over again as I have no knowledge of the breakfast menu, nor do I know anyone who really works the morning shift. So I am glad that I don't have to work mornings there this week. :P Blargh!

Well, I think that does it for me!

*foxie hugs*
-Kameron D. Kendrick

Finally, a day to relax, recuperate and just chill out essentially. I am so looking forward to it. After working non-stop for the last couple weeks, a day where I can just do whatever and unwind is just what I need.

Other than that, I really don't have much else to post on. :P

*foxie hugs*
-Kameron

This week has been brutally psychotic with barely any time to really breathe let alone have any down time to relax and unwind. If I'm not in class, I'm at Petsmart, or McDonald's, or typing up a paper, or researching a subject and that takes up all my waking hours now (which accounts for 18-20 hours per day) And I really, really, really need a day where I can just...relax. No work, no class, nothing but relaxation in order to recharge and ready myself for another stretch of go go go go go craziness.

Working at Petsmart is fine when it's my only job I go to that day, go in, take care of the dogs, go home, relax and unwind....same goes for McDonald's...but it's days where I have to work both jobs, especially one right after another where I feel extremely stressed and exhausted...it's days where the work day can hit around the 14-15 hour mark and by the end of it I'm physically drained, but too mentally wound up to go to bed.

Case in point...today...Petsmart 12:30-4:30pm McDonald's 5:00-11:00. I am going to be zombiefied today and I am in no way, shape or form looking forward to it.

Expect my diaper to be used as a surrender flag when this is done.

*foxie hugs*
-Kameron

Trust me, that's what Sunday was due to working a total of 14 hours that day. I woke up at 7:30am and had to be at Petsmart at 8:30. I was praying for a slow day where I could take it easy, however, we had about 14 small dogs and 10 big dogs...plus a dog birthday party. (Yes, apparently we do those) So it was crazy and hectic all day. I got out of there right before 5pm and I was just totally out of it. I got into McDonald's a little before 5:30, stuffed a couple McChickens with Buffalo Sauce down my gullet so I'd at least have some food in my stomach and proceeded to somehow find my second...third....and twenty-eighth wind. Things started out slow so I was sighing with relief with no one in the dining room and me pretty much relegated to just wiping down tables, sweeping and general chores. Then...7:30 hit. For the next hour and a half customers would come in rapid fire and it was a lot more crazy. Somehow I pulled through that and by 9pm, it was back to being dead except for the occassional drive-thru order so I went back to cleaning since the dining room would close in an hour and the drive-thru at 11 since it was Sunday. Once 11pm hit, Maggie, one of the night managers, sent me and Ashley home since she still had 4 people and all they had to do now was clean some of the machines and mop the back. I came home, wound myself down and crashed in bed a little after midnight...amazed as hell that I somehow did all that.

One good thing is though...I'll be expecting some good paychecks out of this, I'm sure.

*foxie hugs*
-Kameron D. Kendrick

Well, working at McDonald's in itself isn't so bad. The only issue was that yesterday I had to stay until 11pm. Then, come home, was too wound up to go straight to bed, so I spent about an hour just studying for my test and watching TV to try to relax enough to sleep. Well, I thought I'd be able to sleep at about 12:15...but I don't remember dozing off until at least 1am...only to wake up at 5:30am with some weird chest pains. They're gone now but damn...4 hours of sleep and I still need to be at Petsmart in half an hour. Luckily though it's just a three hour shift and I should be back in bed around noon. Of course, then I have to work at McDonald's from 5pm - close but by then I should have slept enough to last the rest of the day. And tomorrow, I can sleep in.

Well, that's it for me. I gotta go play with dogs...then sleep.

*foxie hugs*

Last night was my first official night working at McDonald's. To be honest, going in there, I wasn't looking forward to it at all. I was thinking back to my job at Subway and my brain had already generalized that all food service jobs suck as royally as that particular job. Well, not quite. Ronna, the manager, seemed a lot, lot nicer than my OCD manager from Subway was and the workload in itself was a lot smoother and a lot less crazed. I was down in the basement for a couple hours going through the computer e-learning program. They'll apparently be putting me front counter since I was learning about menu choices and how to operate the cash register there. Once I was done with that, I went up and was put on fries for a while. It's an easy job and the guy that would be training me on front counter wasn't there so I kinda just had to do a bunch of random odd jobs. Well, the fries actually gave me a bit of trouble because the scoop for it was right-handed and I myself am left-handed. (Yes, there is a difference) So after a while, I got onto a bunch of janitorial work. Wiping off counter tops/tables, trash, sweeping and mopping, filling ice chests and so on. It wasn't too bad. I do have to go back there tonight from 6:30 - 11pm and maybe I'll be training on front end, or maybe I'll just be working janitorial again. It's whatever Ronna wants I guess.

Oh, one weird but funny thing...our dishwasher guy....his name is Kameron. Spells it that way too. :P

*foxie hugs*
-Kameron (the other Kameron) Dylan Kendrick

...I start work at McDonald's tomorrow. The job at Petsmart may be coming to an end shortly due to a supreme lack of hours and as such, my job hunting has taken precedence. It's kinda sad though tbat the best I could do was McDonald's. Yes, I know the economy is bad and all, but seriously. I just hope it's not as bad as Subway was, that frickin' sucked.

Well, wish me luck, something tells me I might need it.
