Family BBQ

Went to a family barbeque today. As much as I don't admit it publically, I enjoy hanging out with my family. They are a very entertaining bunch. Of course i'm recovering from heat stroke (only minor), so i've been a little out of it all day. My cousins were sure to remind me that not being mentally on my toes is subject to being rediculed...allot.

Now that i'm not breathing burned embers...

Yesterday was a creative writing/script thingy workshop. It was fun. Adam was amazingly attentive and directed in it. Met some very nice people. Got my gaydar smashed up a bit..nothing new there.

Looking forward to some of the projects.

Smoke and Ash

Well there is a fire somewhere very close to my neighborhood. I could barely see my car at one point right out front of my house.

I was going to head over to Eric's but I can't make it more then a step outside my door without gagging. I think i'll seal myself inside.

Couldn't update yesterday. Stupid blog site wouldn't publish.

(the short, short version)
Work started 2 hours late and finished an hour early. w00t!

Today is kinda blaze` so far. Nothing special. Only have 10 stops to make. Should go pretty quickly. Now lets hope I get my van!

Toosday

Well I had this rather annoying uninteresting post and blogger blecked out and lost it.

So...the summary:

Work was good, started late, and ended early.

Gonna hang with my dad.

Moo.

Toosday

Today was kewl at work. Started 2 hours later than normal and finished an hour earlier than normal. My boss also got busy and let me run through some of the stores by myself. I can't wait to get my van and do this myself.

Moved more stuff...gonna hang with my dad a bit.

The cow barks twice.

Monday was a tad bad to start. Got heat exhaustion in the morning at work. They put me in an oven (the storage unit), and had me unloading boxes. Eh...someone had to do it right?

Jaime came over yesterday and we geeked out some more on rpgs.

I got to sleep in today though (hurray for tuesday). Now i'm just waiting for my boss to call. Its like work is a shark, and i'm looking for the tail fin.

Birthday update.

Shots of chocolate cake are fun to make for your friends.

Mike's Hard Lemonade gets you wasted very quickly for such a small alcohol content.

Even under very happy peer pressure I was able to maintain my rule on drinking. Hurray for me.

I'm going to sleep now. Good night.

Today is my birthday. I'm 27.

Happy birthday to me.

Carnations in the breeze...


Laughter in the spring, with joyous memories in my mind.
We await what the change of seasons will bring.

A sweet scent carried through the air, that makes the past more kind.
From carnations in the breeze that blows through your hair.

I'd love to raise my voice and sing, but the right melody I cannot find.
Words and music to express what you used to bring.

Thoughts of you will carry on, and in my heart you shall live.
My grief will not have won.

Love is what you brought in all my days before, and love is what you'll bring,
well beyond when we live again behind the same door.

Seething ....

Can't really figure out words for it. My car was vandalized. It wasn't stolen. They destroyed my driver side door lock though. Two other people had their cars totally stolen...all Saturns. Somebody was on a shtopping spree.

Tonight is a great example of the fact that maybe...therapy would be good. At one point my buddy Ben said,"Go ahead..get angry." I'm not. I objectified it. Then I analyzed my objectification to realize I had objectified the situation. Not sure what objectified full means, but in this case its more of a way to describe a detatched method of rationalizing the events that have unfolded in a very analytical manner. Which makes it all the more disturbing to realize that I analyzed my analysis.

For a second there was a flicker of something evil, but then my mind quickly labeled it, boxed it up, and put it on a shelf to collect some dust until it can be dealt with. Those boxes are starting to stack pretty high.

On the plus side, Jaime came and picked Ben and me up. Gave us a ride home, and was able to be the hero tonight. =)

Monday funk

Man I can't stand mondays. Today was eh.

Bad news:

Jaime got a flat today. wtf! Monday strikes again!
As usual, I was rather depressed today. But this strikes do to being stuck at home instead of out working. My job keeps me sane..go figure.


Good news:

Started moving stuff over to my new place. Ran into roomie. Man is he jumpy! Other than his ease at getting the crap scared out of him, he's hella kewl. I also did my roomies dishes. I have a pet peave about dishes..can't stand them. Can't stand to look at them even more (or smell them). So I just kinda do them.

Watched the new Hercules movie tonight. It isn't Kevin Sorbo, and its not even based off those shows. It was a 3 hour movie with Sean Astin and some other guy that looked like a really young Glen Danzig with a very ripped body.

Kinda interesting spin on everything. I like how the Oracle of Delphi was a hermaphrodite. It even gets called a Man-woman LOL.

Quizno's Assassinwich

Was treated to quizno's today for lunch. I love that place, and in particular their chicken carbonara sandwich. But for the rest of the day I was getting annihilated in my stomach.

Star Wars comes out in a few days. *twitch*

"What if all the worlds inside of your head. Just creations of your own...." Trent, you need therapy. If the world was in my head, then anytime someone said something to alert me to their stupidity, i'd find fun and creative uses for spontaneous combustion.

Friday the 13th

Today friggin rocked. I found out I get my paycheck this weekend. Which means I move into my friends house this coming week. I'll take my time and do it throughout the week, and then just hit all the large stuff in a single day (which if I have a van by then will be one load).

I did 26 stores today with my boss. Some of those have more than one crane, and one had 6 cranes, another had 5. Ouch..my feet hurt. LOL.

I figure this job will get rid of my deskjob flubber. It will be nice to be able to breath in the morning.

I dub the next 2 weeks the "malnutrition diet". Because i'll be living off about 120 bucks for 2 weeks LOL. Another viable method of losing weight..we'll call it, um...fasting.

Carpe Diem

Okay so the first half of the week sucked. That doesn't mean I have to let that ruin it for the rest of the week. Between some brief trips to Pahrump, and allergies, the weeks been tough. Today though wasn't so bad.

In fact today was pretty kewl. Work was fun (although traffic wasn't).

I want to move. I'm supposed to move in with Dave, an ex-coworker from Spherion. I need money though (cuz living broke for 2 weeks is not fun or healthy). He's getting a little spastic (which is completely understandable), but i'm stuck in this sitch and there is nothing I can do about it.

"The Sitch"
I have 2 days on this pay period. My paperwork didn't get filed until the last day of the pay period, so there is a chance it will get rolled over into the next pay period.

Best case, I get a 2 day paycheck this weekend. Worst case, I get a 2 week + 2 days paycheck in 2 1/2 weeks.

I was hoping to be moved in before my birthday, but if I don't get my paycheck this weekend, that isn't happening.

I'll stop rambling now (although its my blog, and I can rant if I want to).

"So if they call it a Driveway, why do we park on it, and why do we drive on a Parkway?"

Infernal Boot Lickers

I have that wonderful congested feeling where someone has firmly inserted their boot heel in the back of my throat.

And next on the news...Rabi ninja found in mutant training facility in upstate New York.

Muckin funday.

Although today wasn't that bad at all..just really really tired. From what the Baby Eater says though, today blows.

Today's forcast will be stupid with a chance of futility. Face it, mondays will always suXx0r.

On a brighter note, turtles are generally green. Kinda like frogs, but completely different.

Its mother's day. Which is kewl. Did the dinner thing with my mom yesterday. That was fun.


But i'm a little black raincloud.

Besides that dinner, the rest of my weekends has been kind of a downer. I don't feel well at all, and am in a mire of annoying depression. Senseless, annoying, and just plain bleh depression.

I can't really put words to it.

I took a depression test, and at the end of it was this quote:

If you can't get a compliment any other way, pay yourself one.
- Mark Twain

Good advice

Well it felt nice working today. I was all productive and stuff. My fears were alleviated even more when an HR representative got ahold of me to confirm my paperwork. Of course over half the stuff I sent to the regional director needs to be resent...because he's an idiot.

But i'm okay with that.

Anyway...off to see Jimmy Eat World tonight. Mobi r0xx0rz. (no..not the DJ)

This morning, I finally go back to work. Its a relief. I know, in about a month or so i'll be whistling a more pessimistic tune, but underneith i'll always be appreciative of having a job.

It gives me things to do, and makes my life easier. When i'm stuck by myself with nothing to do I generally go stir crazy. I've been doing allot better about that though. Anyway..i'll probably edit this post later to update how my day went.

Today I went to the eye doctor. I got my next batch of contacts for me to poke myself in the eye with.

*poke*
*poke*
*poke*

Today i'd like to start my newest weekly or periodic tradition of posting a link to a webcomic.

Quite possibly number 1 on my list would be Penny Arcade

If you don't read it...you should.

Mocking Funday

Well lets see...

1. My car died, and so I rewired my car alarm thinking it was shorting out my car.
2. Got to walk back with a friend to pick up his car.
3.Got to drive all over town with a kewl friend, and introduce him to my other kewl friends.
4. Put a gash in what little money I have to buy a new battery for my car, and installed that.

Car is working, and I got to hang with a friend. Today...wasn't that bad... I give today a Raddish out of Carrot. (brain fried good)

Well..this week has started with a suck, and ended with a bang.

My job has been delayed, again. This time after my paperwork was finally processed, upper management politely reminded my clueless regional director that he never informed them he was hiring someone.

So I "may" start on wednesday.

Of course as i'm writing this, I just got back from the Mudvayne concert. I feel like a million bucks and crap all at the same time. It was good....damn good. Its rare you get to limp away from a concert that just kicks so much ass that you know you'll feel it for a week or so, and not just physically. Most bands are pretty full of themselves, but the lead singer of Mudvayne was very into the audience and had some great things to say about us.

So, concert was good, work was bad, life goes on. Thanks for the tickets Jaime, and thanks for hangin with me Cory.

Until the next blog, may the force be with you.....always.
