Yeah, that’s pretty much it. May’s gonna be a pretty good month for music. I just picked up The Bravery. Not bad. Sounds like Interpol.
Well, its back to work for me.
So yesterday I was preforming a routine Windows Installectomy on my machine and decided to back my files up on my trusty D: drive. D’s been with me for quite some time. He’s never let me down in the past and I thought I could trust him. Well little did I know that he and Mr. C were plotting to destroy everything I own. So while Mr. C is getting his new shinny duds D: was throwing everything I had given him in the trash. Pictures… gone. MP3s… gone. Email… gone. War Craft… gone. I lost a lot of stuff. I had some “choice” words with him throughout the day. I have a few more tricks up my sleve, who knows, maybe the stuff is just hidden. Maybe D: is protecting them from Mr. C. If he’s not then I’ll bust out Diablo de la partición and make his ass pay for what he’s done.
Just FYI (for your information) my TV (television) looks f’n sweet! I got it set up last night and watched a few things on it. I don’t have the good cables yet, but that’ll happen over time.
Its been a while since I’ve posted and its been a while since nothing has happened long enough to actually put something in here. So I’m gonna go ahead and put it all out there. Oh and Just FYI this post is going to be random thought pouring from my mind, there will be no real order or flow…that’s why it’s mine.
Right now things are going well. I’d say I’m doing well in most aspects of my life. I’m finally getting my theater room done (thank you Maggie and Meghann…and Sam).
So here’s a breakdown of my week so far:
Monday I go to work…leave and drive insanely fast to get to my house so we can go skydive. We get there, do our thing, jump, and I totally fuck up. I can’t get the left of the chute to open and so the entire time I’m going in circles. The instructor is on the ground yelling at me in the radio telling me to stop turning and I can’t. I was failing, not literally (because I passed the test) but mentally. It was miserable. Those who know me know what I was going through. I had no control of my situation and reached a boiling point. So I landed and packed my gear up and we left.
Monday night after a mentally stressful first jump I decide that it would be a good idea to have a beer. I then challenge Maggie to a little contest. She told me that no one has ever out drank her in a single evening. She’s beaten them all and that I would be just another victim. So I stepped up to bat, and so began the 8+ hour drinking extravaganza. I donned my 12er of New Castle and she her 12er of Sam Adams. LOOOOONG story short we both decided that after 12 beers we would call it a draw.
Tuesday I was gonna call in anyway and work on my room but in order to call in w/o consequences you have to do it prior to the beginning of your shift. 8:45 is not prior to the beginning of my shift. I got in trouble, but decided that if I’m going to be out, I’m going to get my damn room done. Maggie, Meghann, and I worked our asses off. Mine was particularly sore from the fall (I landed on my ass). I pushed through it and got the job done as much as I could.
Wednesday to make up for my lateness I decided to go in early…like way early. I got 3 hours of sleep last night and feel like shit. Everything that can suck does. Long story short…again not even a Quad Grande Non-Fat Vanilla Latte could keep me awake and I dosed off at my desk. My day got better and it turned out not so bad.
Ok there’s a lot more I want to say, but right now I can’t. I’ll finish this up tomorrow.
Why is it that everysingle person that handles any account that I have to be foreign. I want to call up and talk to Chuck and have him understand me as much as I understand him. I’ve called mortgage companys, banks, utility companies, etc…they all suck. Oh well, that’s all I really had on that.
Ok so things are going well, I’m happy at the progress in the theater. I don’t know that I’ll have all the stuff I want in there by April 30th, but I’m sure as hell going to try. I’m sending out an invite to anyone who is willing to help get my place ready. If someone helps me I promise to help them do WHATEVR they need done at their place as soon as my party is over. I’ll do lawns, gutters, paint, plumb, rake, put up / take down wall paper, baby sit, dog sit, rub your feet (even people with freakishly long toes), wash your car it doesn’t matter.
Speaking of invites there is a rafting trip a brewin’ and I’m sending out an open invite for that as well. Its going to be a blast, so bring a friend…or not. Just let me know so I can get the place. The trip is May 20 – 22. Nice little weekend get away.
Well, the water in the air at my desk is begining to boil, so I’ll probably risk being fired by taking my pants off. Yeah that’s right, I’m taking them off. I clocked out 50 mins ago so I should have every right to go down to my skivies. Don’t question my logic, it will only cause you to die.
Ok enough for now. Its back to surfin’ for me.
some days are just shittastical and other days are great. today is one of those days were things just suck. i’m not going to go into deatials here, but trust me…its not a good day.
on the flip, i realized that i have some of the best friends one could ask for. just when thing start heading down, a good person comes along and just listens. she didn’t have to, she could have said that she was busy and gone about her day, but she listend to me. i will have to find a way to repay her for that. i don’t ask for much from people, actually to be honest i don’t recall the last time i asked anyone for anything so it was really nice for some one to help me out.
thank you maggie
i’m having a much better day now.
i went to bed on friday night/saturday morning around 3:30. i got up on saturday morning around 6, got my junk ready and went to the skydive place. i took my class passed and was all geared up for the jump. i left and went and got meghann, which i had no problem with at all, and missed my 2 flights. so when we got back they put me on the next one…or so i thought. as it turns it got to late and they posponed it til today at like 8 in the morning. well then the partying started….
we gots ta drinking and there were people going up stairs to do “stuff.” i was totally not part of that at all. there was a kick ass DJ mixin’ and there were sumo suits, it was a blast. so the drinking continued, i had 2 tacos and some shots of crown. so then i was like “you know what…i’ve never made that drunk cell phone call to anyone, so who better to call than maggie.” so i ran to the middle of the field in the dark and gave ole’ maggs (i hope you don’t mind me calling you that :) ) a call. from what i remember about it, i made some pretty funny comments. then i heard on the PA that they were about to do the sumo comp. the winner would get a half gallon of crown. mmmmmmm DLICOUS. so they never really got out the suits, but some guy challenged me to a UFC style match in the ring with no suits. we were both pretty drunk so i took up the challenge. we went like 10 rounds and in the end i think it was a draw for number of wins. bad outcome from that…2 buises, a crick in my neck and my tailbone feels like its broke.
so anywho, i kept fading from being passed out ot awake through out the rest of the nigt. then i hear…HAMSTER GET IN THE MAIN ROOM SO I CAN KICK YOUR ASS on the PA. hamster = me. at that point i was seeing double, couldn’t stand up, sluring my speech, and laying on a couch trying to figure out what was going on. but when i heard that on the PA i literally jumped off the couch busted up in the room, put on the suit and was ready for an ass whoopin from a girl. i knew she was going to win, cause we made an agreement earlier. so i kept getting smacked around and falling and i got some pics…it was good time. in the end she got the crow, i’ll get to share next time i’m up there and i learned that sumo suits are heavy and hot as hell.
so then i started falling out of conciousness again so i busted out the sleeping bag and finally passed our around 4 something. i got up at 8 ready for my flight…but the weather was bad, the entire staff was passed out in various places throughout the complex. so i gathered my stuff and meghann and i took off. now today i’m feeling the after effects of the “cage fight.” i’m not hungover or any of that, i didn’t throw up, but i’m really sore from kicking ass and having mine kicked.
oh well, i had a blast, i’ll do it again soon and for now i’m off to spend time with my family.
So I’m going skydiving today. I’mg going skydiving again today. I might die, or then again I might learn how to live just a little bit more. After the long day of testing and jumping and jumping again I’ll be doing a lot of partying. We are stying the night there and I’m not sure what all sorts of badness is going to take place. I’ll try to be on my best behavior. There are certain lines that I promised I would never cross and I’m sticking to my guns. I may be hamster, or newben, but I’m not “that guy” at this party. I’ll report back later.
Ok, so here’s the deal. Over the past few months I’ve been on the go doing stuff for people. Don’t get me wrong, I love helping people out. Most of the stuff I do I volunteer for and I don’t have a problem with that. So now I think it’s time to take care of me. My house looks like shit. MY computer is slowing dying, my cats don’t know me anymore, I have so many dirty clothes thats its insane and my yard is out of control. So here’s the deal, starting on Monday I’m on vacation. If someone needs me to fix something or help with something (other than my parents) it will have to wait until the first week in April. Now if I get invited to just come hang out with people that’s a different story. There are certain thing that I am commiting myself to next week, but other than that I’m free. Here’s my scheule just incase anyone really cares
Monday: Work > Gym > Dinner > Laundry > Gaming
Tuesday: Work > Gym > Diner > Sanding / Cleaning the theater room
Wednesday: Work > Gym > Dinner > Finishing up in the theater room
Thursday: Work > Gym > Survivor > Taco Mac
Friday: Work > Gym > Free time
Saturday: Paint / Yard / Clean
Sunday: Sleep > Gaming > Laundry > Work on computer > Dinner with friends
This will most likely change, but I really want to stick to it. If any one would like to join me for dinner or would like to help with the room then they are more than welcome. I’m not ranting or venting or any of that, I just want to have some time to take care of the things I need to take care of.
——————————————————————–
Ok so tonight I have a delima. This is what is lined up. After work I have to drive out and fix some guys computer, then I want to go to the gym and then I’m supposed to go to Taco Mac with my skydiving friends. On the flip I have a friend that I haven’t seen in years that wants me to come play trivia with his friends. Now, I’m pretty much “in” with the skydivers so I may go play trivia and make some more new friends since I’ll see my skydivers on Saturday. We’ll see how this pans out.
So here’s a list of things that I AM going to do this year:
- Get certified in skydiving
- Get a tattoo
- Go rafting at least 2 times
- Bungie jump
- Go snow skiing or snow boarding or both
- Learn to SCUBA dive
- Lose at least 10 more pounds
- Finish my theater
- Finish my portfolio
- Go to Chicago
- Spend more time with my family
- Get a new vehicle
- Learn to dive stick
- Landscape my front and back yard
- Build me a new computer
- Make even more friends
I know there are a few other things that I need to add to the list, but for now I think that should do it.
