Back For The First Time...

*sighs* Today will definitely be a historic day for myself. For the first time ever since August of 2008, I will close tonight and tomorrow. Back in 8/08, I was promised and guaranteed by the HR that I would open every Saturday at 8AM and open every Sunday at 4AM. At first I thought it would suck to wake up that early on a Sunday, but I've grown very fond of it. Simply because from 4AM til 8AM (when the store opens) I don't have to deal with any guests. Back to the story at hand though, they've got me closing this weekend because they're stupid. LOL, seriously though the HR that sealed the deal with me has transferred to a new store. Now the person who makes the schedule now is pretty much just BSing me and trying to tell me the reason why I'm closing is because of staffing. He told me that it'll only be this weekend. So now I look at the newest schedule and what do I see? Once again I close next week and it's seriously like WTF?! Then he goes ahead and says the same excuse and I'm just SMH all over the place. Why does the management always have to lie and smile in your face? They should be the most honest people in the business. Real deal. Well enough my rant, I shall now try to enjoy my three hours of freedom I have left...*rolls eyes*

False Advertisement FTL!!!*

*FTL!!! = for the loss!

This is something I always found funny about TARGET. Every week we have sales on certain products. There are seven types: Sale through Saturday, Temporary Price Cut, As Advertised, Special Purchase, Free Gift Card with Purchase, New at TARGET! and Even Lower Than Our Advertised Price. Now yesterday I came across one of the rare Even Lower Than Our Advertised Price sign.

Okay now here's the bad part...

What you see in this price above is indeed the regular shelfing label for the item. According to that blue sign it said that the product this week was $11.49 and was lower than the advertised price. But the retail price is actually $11.49, so WTF is TARGET trying to do? FOOL YOU? WELL YOU CAN'T FOOL ME RED AND KHAKI DEVIL!!!

Your FAIL brought to you by TARGET!

BLACKOUT!

Oh my stars...I want these Dunks NAO!!!

Turbo T. Double = Holographic Double

The execution of each rapper imitated in this video/song was excellent! The feel of the video also goes in sync with the song as it should, unlike some MAINSTREAM music videos nowadays. Keep in mind that he is UNSIGNED but has a huge buzz like a QUEEN BEE. My favorite verses were when he became Kid Cudi, Wale and Charles Hamilton. If you really enjoy the vid, please send him a message at either turbo2k5@yahoo.com, turbotsst.blogspot.com or myspace.com/scrambleupwards.

Your FAIL Brought To You by T-1298

Heaven forbid there is EVER a fire at my store, I just everyone to know that I love them and I'll see them at the CROSSROADS. I took these pics at like 5AM this morning, I was so damn tired today. I drank like two RED BULLS and still was down for the count. In other news today was smooth, kinda busy for a Sunday but it was all good. I'm ready for 4:20 in more ways than one. Fanfiction.net, I'll be droppin' my newest bomb tomorrow, so be ready like Bebop and Rocksteady.


By the way even though this is blocking an EMERGENCY EXIT, the real sad part about this flatbed being out on the SALES FLOOR is the fact it won't be pushed. When I say push I mean they won't put all the freight out on it. I won't get into BIG details, but yeah...SEE YA TOMORROW!

The Final Chapter!

THIS IS IT! ONE MORE FREAKIN' DAY OF WORK AND I'M OFF FOR A WHOLE WHOPPING 24 HOURS! Cuz I'll be taking my happy behind right back in there on 4/21: The Day After. More blogs as the day progresses!!!

4/20 Task List...

Since I seem to forget things easily sometimes, I've taken the liberty to make a task list for this Monday. I will finally be off from work and not going to class. Yet I will still be busy doing stuff such as:

• Wash clothes
• Clean my car
• Wash the dog
• Clean the bathroom
  
• Vacuum the house
• Finish Chapter 9 of And She Gets Discouraged
• Tradition (inside joke)

Not a huge list, but it's gonna be time-consuming.

Wave 4 Complete...Now The Horde Grows Stronger!!!

I'm feelin' good right now! After four closes in a row, I definitely have to say this was the best one I've had all week. Saw some friends, had a good closing team and of course my lovely girlfriend to keep me company. During the night I definitely entered a zone of PURE IMAGINATION! It's like my brain drank some mental RED BULL cuz it grew wings and left the atmosphere. Definitely did some brainstorming for my original story. I actually came up with a title today. Thinking of some character designs and bios. I'm gonna drop those next week. Now let's speak of why I have a picture of a Theron Guard. The Horde aka TARGET guests will be very strong tomorrow. They will be ruthless and won't stop until they get what they want. THE HORDE GROWS STRONGER!

~TM-1

Round 4...FIGHT!

Man here we go again, in less than 3 hours I will be returning to TARGET for my 4th consecutive closing shift. I'm tired of closing that bit down! Thank goodness tomorrow I only work 10-6 and on Sunday I work that EARLY BIRD (4-1:30) but man oh man, I can see the next three days are gonna be like HELL. The Heritage golf tournament is gonna be happening on Hilton Head Island which means this weekend we gonna do a lot of business courtesy of old folks, tourists and just about anybody that can breathe. I'm prepared though, I've got my gladiator helmet in my trunk. I've got my boots scrapped, my spear sharpened and my shield waxed. I'M READY FOR ANYTHING! Something tells me I'm gonna have a good war story to share with you guys within the next three days. However as of right now, I'm gonna chill for my last 2 hours...

P.S.- I'm still on my BUNNY SUIT GURL ish...>_>

I've Got A Confession...

I, Michael R. Loftin Jr, have a huge bunny fetish. Like seeing girls in bunny suits make me happy in more ways than one. Nah I'm just joking...but it's like almost 3AM right now and I'm so drowsy. Trying to finish up Chapter 9 of ASGD before my deadline of 4/17. In all honestly I've been working my ass off at TARGET this week, so we're now looking at a possible 4/20 release. This chapter is gonna be huge, I might have to make it two parts. Well my eyes are 75% closed, so this blog is coming to an END.

One Way

People everyday live with tons of regrets. Me personally can't stand to regret things of my past. Everything happens for a reason, right? So why live with regrets? No one is perfect, we all make mistakes. Let's not make what became accidental something permanent. For some reason a mass of our society blames things they've done in the past as results for their present and potential future. However since you can't go back in time, why talk about something improrable? Instead learn from your mistakes, and control your future with the actions of your present. I'm pretty sure I've blogged about this before but recently I've been hearing a lot of people complaining and that's what fueled me to craft this wonderful blog.

The Return of TM-1

Things have been awfully quiet on this blog as of late. Then again that's probably because my life has been about as dull as a butter knife. However, it's time to sharpen the blade and become a dinner knife! I'm back with the freshness like produce. (lame) But in all seriousness, I have made my return. Right now I can't say there's a lot on my mind right now because it's late at night and I'm playing XBOX Live with my homies. But I can definitely say one thing...

CHAPTER 9 OF AND SHE GETS DISCOURAGED WILL BE OUT ON 4/17

The Wrestlers of Street Fighter. (just a quick Top 3)

Rainbow Mika to me is like the sexy version of Zangief. (yes hetero!) With the quickness of El Fuerte and actual raw power that closely mirrors the Red Cyclone. It's a shame that she's only been on Street Fighter Alpha 3 because she would have made a great addition to Street Fighter IV.



The Red Cyclone better known as Zangief is definitely a force to be reckoned with. Close range is his specialty. If you're in grabbing distance, you're a cooked goose. If you do five of his special moves (not the Super combo) you'll be toast. Man, all this talk about food is making me hungry.



Last but not least we've got newcomer El Fuerte in the building. One word can describe this luchador. FAST. Speed is his game, however he's definitely lacking power. With every PRO comes a CON. His Ultra Combo is silly, just like his personality. Once I figure out his move list, hopefully he'll surpass Zangief.

Internet Window Shopping

Dough Boy SO Fresh! I like this one a lot...but the largest size they have for it is indeed, a large. I know I'm really nothing but skin and bones, but I need at least a XL.



Now if you know me, you know I'm down with Mario. I mean Sonic is good too, well good in 2D, but Mario dominates all. So in honor of one of the most popular villains, I would proudly wear this BULLET BILL belt buckle. However, the only problem is that it costs $24. Maybe, NEXT TIME GADGET NEXT TIME...



Now this shirt will go great with my Nike SB dunks. Red and blue SPIDERMAN edition might I add...nuff said. COBRA COMMANDER!!!


TELL YOUR GIRL TO STOP PAGING ME! I MEAN SERIOUSLY!

More serious blogging, coming soon!

Damn...

I've messed up big time, like really really BIG. I got the most shocking news of my life last night around 3am. My girlfriend, Broudicca Fields told me something that has now turned my world upside down.

"Baby, I think I'm pregnant."

My eyeballs nearly popped outta my head so I went to WAL-MART (its OPEN 24/7) bought a pregnancy test and took it to my girl. She took multiple test and they all came up POSITIVE. TRIGGER MIKE THE GREAT is gonna be a daddy! This is definitely not a good time for this because I've got so much going on in my life and the last thing I need right now is to take care another life. I want kids, but not at 21! (I'll most likely be that age when the child is born) But as my duties of being a man, I will take care of this child no matter what!

APRIL FOOLS BEYOTCHES!

Got A Fanbase As Big As Japan

Not really, but dead ass I've got a good amount of fans. Well at least according some statistics I'm bringing up from fanfiction.net. As of today I have total of 702 hits for the month of March with 318 of those being from visitors. That's simply amazing. These hits don't just come from the United States either, they come Canada, Mexico, UK, France, Bahamas, Trinidad, Germany, Brazil, South Africa and the list goes on but that's just cool to know that someone in another hemisphere, another timezone, a person from another culture is checkin me out. Another great thing about all of this too is that a story that I finished about 2 years ago is still getting plenty hits. I feel now is the perfect time for me to expand this fanbase, expand my horizions, give my brain a challenge. I'm ready to create an account on fictionpress.com and create my own ORIGINAL story. Stay tuned!

Ronald McDonald (It's MAGIC!)

Today I decided to add yet another alias, nickname and personality to Michael Loftin. Most of you know me as TRIGGER MIKE, TM-1, ModernDayMarvel, Magic Mike, Mighty M and the damn list goes on but today after listening to a certain CH track all day. *points at song on blog* I've decided to become Ronald McDonald. Why? Why that silly mascot from Mickey D's? Well if you know Mr. McDonald like the rest of the world then you know he has magic abilities. At work most of the executives there call me Magic Mike and that's cool. But Ronald McDonald just has like a nice ring to it. I'm weird, yes I know this but I feel that I can make magic in more ways than one. Just ask my gurlfriend...lol. But seriously today I was given the ultimate task of holding down more than half of the sales floor. I handled it pretty damn well for one man. Out of the 10+ call boxes that went off I only missed one and that was because I was literally pinned down in ELECTRONICS. I also work magic with my great guest service skills. I can talk a guest into buying extra stuff or if we are out of stock on a item, I can offer the next big thing. It is always NOT that easy especially with OLD RICH PEOPLE. A couple came into town and wanted some patio stuff that we were out of. To make a long story short, the lady ended up calling me and a co-worker disgraceful. WTF? I MEAN DISGRACEFUL? I've been called plenty of things, but disgraceful is definitely a milestone. It was funny though, I was LMAO in my head. My inner Ronald McDonald couldn't save me that time. Oh well...I'm off to begin typing Chapter 8 of And She Gets Discouraged. Next blog will be coming sooner than you think.

Just Another Top 5 list...

This one will be about my Top 5 videogames of all-time in order: (kudos to Lazer77 for the idea)

5) Marvel vs. Capcom 2

The greatest fighting game of all time. Nuff said.

4)Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2

Even though I played the first one a couple of times prior to the release of part 2. I instantly fell in love with the controls, the graphics, the gameplay and especially the soundtrack. This was definitely the first of many great TH games to follow.

3) Conker's Bad Fur Day

What do you get when you mix a red squirrel who just turned twenty-one and a pint of beer? Conker's Bad Fur Day! This game follows a red squirrel named Conker who is simply trying to find his way home after getting hammered the previous night before. This game was pure badass for a couple of reasons. Movie references were just on point. As soon as they would parody a scene you'd know what movie it was from. Another great thing was the gameplay, because not only did it serve as a platformer, certain levels turned it into a third-person shooter. Last thing was the graphics, I mean this game came out in 2001 and it actually rivaled some earlier PS2 games with its smooth colorful visuals. Definitely the final gem of the N64 era.

2) Super Mario Bros 3

This was a hard choice, it was either this or Super Mario World, but I've chosen this one because it had the coolest versus mode ever. Also, great levels, way past cool power-ups and it was actually more challenging than SMW. Trust me I love Super Mario World to death, but this one is a tad bit more classic. Just by a little bit.

1)Twisted Metal 2

Whoa, suprise suprise, eh? Yes this is seriously my favorite game of all-time. I've spent nights until the sun rised playing this bad boy. Back in 1996, this was my joint. Too bad I don't have a PSone or PS2 and a copy of the game to play. But this was the first game I truly mastered. This was one of the first games that also gave me NIGHTMARES. The storyline is twisted. No pun intended.
