Friends? I don't know

Lately I've been put in positions that cause me to question my friendship with certain people. I think of friends as people who are there for you through thick and thin and people that genuinely enjoy your company and seek it. Lately I've noticed that some of the people that consider me a friend only call upon me when they need help or a favor. Being in the field of work that I do I get called a lot to fix this for me or fix that... or help me with this, why isn't this working, how to do this.

Bah its never ending. And at first I don't mind because hey I thought we were friends. But when I notice you never want to hang out, you always have some lame excuse and the only time you seek me out is when you need a favor or help then, your not really much of a friend, and a lowsy one at that.

anyhow. I wont divulge into this topic anymore as it makes me mad. You do so much for someone, and in the end they don't appreciate anything and just drop you like yesterdays news. Screw you though, I won't miss you calling me just for help.

You study computers? well you know everything!

NOT SO! I hate that stereotype that exists here in Belize. Just because I studied anything remotely to do with computers I suppose to be this computer genius in everything! You study computers? can you fix my Nintendo DS, its not charging anymore? wtF?

Anyhow just so you know I mainly work in hardware and network engineering. My hardware background I got from working many years as a computer technician and getting the chance to work with some great computer geeks, like Daisuke Inoue, Shinsuke Inoue, Joshua Richards, Carlson Bradley, Marco Cheng... the list goes on. I've learned quite a lot from my experiences and my peers. I never pretend to know everything because there is always something to learn and someone that knows more!

So yeah my dad wants a website for his company because he thinks its about time he started to advertise and get his business out in the open more. Naturally he asked me if I could help. These professionals out there want to charge you an arm and a leg... so anyway during working hours between breaks and spare time I will research on webpage designing etc etc... I've come across some helpful sites. With my background in programming and PHP it shouldn't be too hard, however the artistic side of things like logos etc is not my forte... I will probably get help there.

Wish me luck.

ps: it's nostalgic writing another blog entry.
