>”Step inside my mind” the blog-vertisement states… *sigh* I know I don’t get it, I am fairly confident that the majority doesn’t get it… but I think I have common sense. Unfortunately that seems to set me apart. Granted: one of my faults – everything has to be done my way. That’s rather harsh, I’m quite non-harsh, flexible, open-minded, and willing to learn. I will do it my way unless there is good evidence to show me otherwise. Simply saying is not enough — you need to show me, I need proof. Tangability is something I never got with religion.…
>So much to do, the world feels like it’s wizzing by and my head is just slowly floating through. I am looking quite seriously at moving out of this area as soon as possible. I went looking for an apartment and realized that for an extra couple hundred a month — I’m able to buy a house. That’s a huge thought. Everyone’s talking about the market, things are looking good, etc — but didn’t really think it would apply to me. It’s much more within my reach then I thought. It’s not much better then where I am now, but…
>…unfortunately about an hour later, I was awakened by the sound of my car alarm. I ran to the window to see a shadow running away from my car. I was planning on waiting until morning to call the police about the theft, I just didn’t want to deal with it at the current moment, but this was just too much — 3:50am they were there. I hadn’t even seen the driver’s side of the car yet: someone had tried to open the lock and it was mangled, plan b was apparently breaking the window – glass everywhere. It exploded,…
>I saw the bomb squad today, complete with guy in gear grabbing a little black box out of the drain on the side of the road. It was a main road, so traffic was re-routed all around. It couldn’t be more then 1/4th of a mile away from my house… kind of strange. I don’t have TV, there’s nothing on the radio, and I don’t see anything on the local news website. I don’t really know for sure, I was told that’s what it was by one of the on-lookers at the gas station accross the street. There certainly was…
>Here’s a scenario for you: Local club, geared mainly at the under 18 crowd — amature djs, and people lining the walls much like a highschool dance. Big mafia-type guy heading the operation, pulling aside a young gentleman — known to dabble in the not-so-legal… “…we need at least 10, this is just between you, me, and Kevin… anyone finds out, someone’s gonna get fired.” The whole place is so small that no one can get away with anything — unless they’re in on it. There are only the select few that are in with the management, maybe not directly…
>Well it’s the weekend again, I just can’t get over how quickly time seems to go — at least when I’m not waiting for a paycheck. Yesterday was the first day of spring — and of course, it snowed. It was a seemingly nice fluffy snowness at first, then it just got heavier, wetter, and more of a bain. Just about half of it melted today, I’d say the other half tomarrow but with 32 degrees the projected high I’m not optimistic. I can’t wait for it to be warm out – I want to run through the grass barefoot!…
>Every time I actually have something that I want to express, takes half my break just to log in to blogger. I suppose if I really required it I’d go for the pay option, only $12 a year at this point. It’s quite reasonable, and hopefully it would be a bit more responsive. They’re being interviewed by TechTV and others, so I can’t imagine it’ll be too much longer before the free accounts will dissapear completely. I just hope the worshipers of TechTV, aka “knuckleheads”, don’t completely flood blogger for new accounts. The reason I’m updating – a lip balm…
>A friend called me near the end of work today… the details are on the news page. He said Phil – someone we used to hang out with all the time – had died in a car accident this weekend. It’s one of those calls that you never expect to actually get because it’s far to close to those after school specials to be real. I didn’t know what to say. I know my friend was really close to him… I wanted to say something meaningfull. Instead I said nothing. I really liked the guy, I did… but my manner…
>A lot can happen in a week, unfortunately… not this week. My birthday is about 2 weeks away, I’m not particularly excited — I wonder if I should be, considering it’s just about the last milestone… I don’t have much to ask for. I supposed I could use things for my kitchen, which is as yet incomplete – despite this being my 2nd year out on my own. This time 2000 I was moving into my very first apartment. It took about 3 to 4 months for things to go horribly wrong. That’s behind me now, things are quite good.…
>Today was good, I feel like I got a lot accomplished. Just goes to prove, a good start, and a good breakfast will get you far in life. Waynes World down, Waynes World 2 to go. Paul Newman was cool — Coolhand Luke. Truman Show in the process… and so much more to come. Snow, lots of snow came today — and tickets to go see George Carlin on 4/7. The snow went away, the tickets stayed. He takes pictures – http://www.itakepictures.co.uk There’s a battle going on with AOL – Go Trillian! – http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/ At least 2 or 3 of…
>Today is not as stressful, mostly thanks to not as much invisible pressure being there. cool link: Lego Sculptures & Art Not much happening — I’m contemplating my going back to school. It’s harder to do then I thought it would be to go back. I’m only going to do 1 or 2 classes, but it’s what I have to do to at least start getting things on track. Compared to a lot of people I know, I’m doing quite well — when compared to most: I’m way behind. I don’t want to be stuck like a lot of people…
>Haha, well it is Sunday. I’m at work, I’m a tad frustrated. I had probably one of the best weekends I’ve had in a while, save a trip to the hospital because I could have sworn my finger was broken. It wasn’t, and I was glad, but it was 3 hours of a Saturday night that I would have liked to use otherwise. I hit the knuckle perfectly to knock it out of socket — my joint is still sore… pulled my finger to pop it back in — it did, and then it was still oddly lumped, still hurt,…
>I was just thinking of something… last year about this time I wasn’t doing very well. The day after Valentine’s Day I had been in an accident coming south on 91, I was hit by a gas tanker, 18 wheeler — about 4 in the morning. The car was totaled, I was pretty much too. A few days after the accident all the muscles in my back seized up and I wasn’t overly mobile for the past couple of days. I was just reviewing the days I missed work last year about this time — and it hit me that…
>Well here it is Sunday evening. It snowed a bit today — already gone to wetness and rain. For whatever reason (and I’m blaming the chairs @ work — they took away our ergonomics) my back is killing me, neck… all hurty and whining :] I’m pleased overall. I had a fantastic weekend, spent it with a lot of really cool people… all just chillin — playing State of Emergency & Final Fantasy X in all their glory. Got to go clothes shopping with Liz for the first time — it was great, we work well in the store and…
>Ahh… love is in the air. [ your heart here ] Movies page will be changing over the next week or so. I’m compiling “a collection of stills, dialog, and extra information about the movie” for the movies I review on the page. I will take requests and let you know when to possibly expect delivery/availability. The CDs go for $5 and are an invaluable tool to any movie fan, all the scenes you remember, the dialog you and your friends keep reciting… will be yours to keep. They’re nothing fancy on the outside, it’s all in the content. Links…
>H&R Block is baaaaaad. After waiting an hour and a half on hold today, (after finally obtaining a phone number from an H&R Block financial office), I was brought through the endless loop of looking at my rejected return and having to file it via mail. The reason, it turns out, that it was rejected… was that the federal form has an area for “apt” and the state form doesn’t. Since the federal form didn’t fill out the state form correctly — it haulted the process. Well they couldn’t put it through again, I couldn’t resubmit because of their error.…
>Well today’s my friday. I can’t believe how quickly time goes by… especially when I’m with that special someone. This whole week has gone by quickly… strange. I’m doing well, things look to only get better. Home, work… it’s all good. Taxes… those have issues… and I’m kicking myself now for not just going to a real human. It cost me a bit more last year, but I had someoene else to work out the kinks. I’ve e-filed every year so far… don’t know why the difficulty now, H&R Block Online — why? why?!!
>A friend of mine is leaving. She’s going back to college somewhere near Chicago. It’s somewhat strange because although she’s been working at the same place as me for quite some time… it’s been a very long time since we’ve said anything more then the occational “hi”. I wouldn’t even know if I wasn’t hanging around someone’s desk when she was telling them she was leaving. She was part of the intial “group” which consisted of my 2nd roommate, my buddy Jay, and a few other people here and there. We’d go out, enjoy a bit of pool, hanging out,…
