>Well — tonight is my buddy Jay’s birthday (seems everyone’s having one of those lately)… so we’re gonna go out for an evening. He’s been all busy working, finally going down on his 76-something hours a week workschedule for the summer. It brings back memories of last summer, and last summer was good =] We’re also going to surprise someone who hasn’t seen him in quite some time (I’m hoping) — so tonight should be interesting. Now that I have someone to go with, can start checking out the various bars and clubs around here — Worthington Street — so…
>…ever get that feeling that someone really knows you? They know what you’re about… either from simple intuition or because you’ve gotten into those particular conversations, giving a hint as to how your thinking works. You don’t have to put it succinctly for them to get what you’re trying to say — This song’s about just that: Michelle Branch – You Get Me The rest of her stuff is pretty good as well.
>Funny how I never get around to updating until the weekend’s over. I like to lump the events of the weekend together, I’m able to recall things better that way. I had a great time chillin with an old friend on Thursday night. We hadn’t really hung out in quite some time — began talking again after seeing each other at Phil’s funeral. It had been about a year that we weren’t speaking to each other, and though our lives went on separately — there were a lot of things we shared. It was good to put the past behind…
>After I left work I stopped by my ex’s work, get the $10 she owed me… I was itching to say something — “you know, I saw you with that guy… funny, considering you seemed to be thinking in another direction last time we spoke of such things…” I got all worked up and once I actually had the chance to say something: I didn’t bother. It really wouldn’t accomplish anything, and from the look on her face she knew I knew already. It would only create more tension — and that was enough without any help. I have some…
>Woo hoo! It looks like we’ve found our place. I went to go look at the house on Saturday — it’s a large house, 4 sections, somewhat old… but I think what sold us was the current residents. 3 adorable young ladies who were moving out because they were graduating soon. That aside: the place was cheap, it was certainly good enough — roomy… it’s out near Amherst, college town, UMASS, etc. The rest of the place is also populated with college students, almost like a little commune. I was very pleased, unfortunately Sept 1st is when it’s available for…
>It’s Saturday morning, 4:30am. I just got back from a generally pleasant evening at “Fuse” — afterhours club here in Springfield. I danced quite a bit — had a blast. I was there until just about 3:50am when I saw something kind of odd. There was my ex, a security guard for the club (I knew she was working) — probably about 3 weeks after telling me “she needed time to herself” and “…maybe we should just be friends for a while” & “I need to do something for myself, without any help” — leaning back on some young chap,…
>ACK! I went outside to take some pictures, capture a few woodland creatures in their frolicking… and my digtal camera seems to be broken. It’s about a year or two old… so it’s almost ok because I want a new one. The thing is: I don’t -need- a new one as far as quality — I have an Olympus D-340R which has served me well, 1.3 Megapixel — which is enough… I hate when stuff breaks :] I don’t use it that much, but it’s nice to have it when I want a camera. It works for things within about…
>Ahh, my friday — so nice to have the potential of the weekend upon me. I plan on being very productive tomarrow, then once evening comes — being anti-productive =] I’m still waiting on my insurance check — I really don’t want to replace my stereo equipment: I just don’t want it stolen again. On the other hand: I did manage to keep the one I had for about a year without incident — and I hardly ever took the face off. A lesson I shall not forget — bring it inside, don’t leave it under the seat, even parked…
>I can’t believe the weather out — instant summer, just add water. It’s april 17th, we had snow 3 weeks ago… and it’s 90 out. My quote of the day comes from today’s news story: “Dr Mulder said a number of duck species and ostriches have penises, but this was definitely the longest ever encountered.” (note: there is no “animal sex organs” theme to this site, it’s merely cooincidence) trippy – [ link1 | link2 ] blogs – [ blog1 | blog2 ] I’m glad that so many dot-coms went bust — the web was so commercial for a while.…
>Only about an hour or so left to my shift — I’ll be glad to get out of here, maybe even catch the sun setting. Got my new tires today from tirerack and was looking at some other possibilities. Now I just have to get my rims on w/ the new tires and I’ll take some pictures =] Last night some friends and I went up to the top of a large mountain out here — sat around a fire with some beer just looking out onto the city below. It was a beautiful night, a tad treacherous of a…
>Separate the thought(s): Well, once more my weekend seemed to dissapear completely. I didn’t really have anything to do until late last night, and of course had work this morning. Not exactly a bad thing — I had a lot of fun, a couple friends from out Boston way came out, we chilled out to some pretty cool music/visuals thanks to acidspunk. Best Buy has Red Faction for $20, that took a lot of my time this weekend — as did a new 40gig HD for DivX-ing goodness. Deus Ex just came out for PS2, so I pulled out my…
>At least until I can add this to my links page: notice someone | get noticed …as you can see I’m trying to work on my visibility. I’m determined to get the last couple kinks out of things but I’m still uncertain as to how I should work with the music page. I’d like to put a blog for each window — though that seems a bit excessive. However — I can simply post a song when I’m thinking of it, as opposed to opening up the site, editing, uploading, etc. I’ll most likely go that route. I’m just going…
>New Thread w/ Poll There’s a few updates here and there — Blogger is now Pro, and cleaned up a few loose ends. I have to have things looking good — I have ad impressions out there, have to make ’em good ones. Maybe this site will even creep past the beta numbers sometime soon. I just want to make sure there’s something anywhere that someone is going to click, that three are no dead pages, and that there’s worthwhile information throughout the site.
>I don’t guarantee it’s uptime — but take a look: ftp @ 151.203.188.207 Let me know if you have any problems, preliminary setup thanks to a new hard drive just for media. =] I want to share music. I feel there’s so much that other’s haven’t heard — and that there are certain songs that I hold so dear… I have to have another person hear them and hold them the same. I have my main connection with people through music. There is a lot else that I’ve made friends via: but none so true a feeling to be shared,…
>Never underestimate the power of speculation, or getting all those nagging little questions out in one big whoomp. Finally got the chance to ask those questions I could only ask myself, mere speculation on my part, anyhow — but they were valid concerns and they’d certainly affect “potential friendship”. For the most part I was reassured, I could see the true confusion, naiveté… and unknowing. I realized that sometimes people are at different timelines, and it might as well be now rather then later. So I’m at peace, and I think she realizes a bit more the impact that the…
>{actually from yesterday – blogger was broken} Well things are looking better, just getting over quite a whopping sickness – cold sweats, aches, went from bed to couch to kitchen. It’s getting warmer out, almost don’t need a jacket anymore — can’t quite wear a long sleeve shirt inside without being too hot, but maybe thats just a little bit of the sickness still there. I had some new links that I’ve been stuffing in my figurative work-desktop chipmunk cheeks — and haven’t been here to put them up. Good a time as any: Sports-brand rubber duckies Anti-advertiser call thing…
>I’m not going to get all sans-philosphical. My 6 months is up. (Maybe it was up a week ago — it just got dragged out) That’s how long things are allowed to go on and be well for me. Then something happens to remind me that everything could be much worse. Sometimes it’s physical, sometimes mental, usually a big pain in the ass. If I believed her 100% — it’s just for now, it’s not because I wasn’t nice, kind, or thoughtful. It’s not because I was respectful, treated her as an equal, and was willing to sacrifice where I…
