My new computer

     Today is kind of an exciting day for me, though for most people it would be a more boring one.  Today is when the parts for my new computer will arrive.  I spent about $600 on the parts and most people think it is a waste of money, and I can't really argue against that.  Most people would think it is a waste of money.  I on the other hand, do not.  Why?  Because I am not just going to leave it lying around my house, I am actually going to use it.

     I like to play videogames, which is pretty normal in my opinion.  The first game console that I had was a Super Nintendo when I was 5 years old.  Its a shame that it broke, but recently I bought one on amazon so my family can enjoy all the old games we used to play together such as Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country 2, and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (yes that was the title of the video game).  And videogames have been a part of my life since I was a kid.  I was never really allowed to play with any of my friends after school throughout my whole life, as I used to live in a dangerous neighborhood and my parents were afraid that I would get shot or something.  So videogames were pretty much what I have been doing all these years.  They are always there, through the good and the bad.  They helped me get through middle school which was a pretty hard time for me, but that is a story for another day.

    All this is kind of why I chose to buy parts for a computer.  To make a computer that is meant for gaming.  There are basically ENDLESS amounts of videogames that can be played on them, as many people who make videogames aren't famous enough to have their games published by big companies such as Nintendo or Sony.  This does not mean that their games are bad in any way, they are just not as known.

    My sister thinks that I won't even be able to put my computer together, and that it will be forever left alone in the void also known as my closet.  My closet is where countless things that I have are being kept.  Most of the junk is not mine, but I do not want to even think about cleaning it out.  I have things such as sleeping bags, blankets, cables from old tv's, school supplies, a few computer monitors, legos, a few board games, some books, and of course my clothes.

asdfjkl;

   Well I finally got around to getting started on this thing.  Sorry if I end up boring you to death, so try and stay alive.  I don't even know what to write about so I am just going to ramble for a little while until I get a good feel for this.
   I finally have enough to by a car, which is nice.  I don't have a license though so all that money is kinda worthless.  My sister offered to sell me her car for $500 which is pretty cheap.  It has a few problems though, like the trunk is broken and the speedometer sometimes doesn't work.  In order to keep the trunk shut, they tied it with a knot of this plastic thing, if I remember what they are called I will edit it in here.  I want to drive mostly because of my work.  I have to work every Saturday and Sunday from 5 AM until 1 PM.  The bus doesn't pass that early so I have to rely on my family to get me to work and I would much rather not keep them from sleeping.
   Believe it or not, the days that I do work on the weekends aren't that bad.  Sure I DO have to wake up at 4 AM, but the work I do those days is pretty simple.  I eat breakfast before I go because McDonald's breakfast isn't really all that appealing to me.  I start off work by throwing out all of the trash.  From there I go and raise the flag outside.  I was told the first day that I put up the flag, "If you let that flag touch the floor you're fired." so I have been extra careful to not let it get anywhere near the ground.  After I finish this I get myself two spray bottles; one that is full of sanitizer, and the other one has Windex.  I also take with me a small vacuum that is kept in the back room and some rags.  I start by putting on some knee pads, and then taking off my shoes.  Then I proceed to the hardest thing I have to do at work on my weekends: clean the McDonald's playplace.  It's hard for me to climb inside of there, since I am taller than the average person.  I keep bumping my shins and my head on everything when I am inside.  I have to spray all the windows with windex, and sanitize the whole inside of the play place.  This takes me about 40-60 minutes to do.  Then I have to go down the slide, and go back inside with the vacuum and vacuum out any little particles that are inside.  This takes me about half an hour.  When I finish this I take all the stuff to the back room and say good morning to all of my coworkers, who must be having the time of their lives getting yelled at by customers and my manager.
