would that be called a night-cap? [hahahaha] … Anywho, today … weather was ‘bad’ so I didn’t go to work. That was pretty cool; I got to go do other things, like go hang out with craig and janelle @ janelle’s house. Not only did we watch The Matrix, we also got to use her hot tub, which, I might add, is very nice, especially when enjoyed with janelle in a bathing suit. [huge grin]

Then we went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner, and it was obscenely expensive. My checkbook is still hot from the smokin’ check I wrote. It was really fun, but the wait for food was long; I doubt I’ll go there again any time soon.

Went over to Craig’s place w/ him and Tony. We chilled. Then I decided to come home; I am surprised I made it home in one peice — the combonation of horrible white-out snow and a tired me is not a good one. Luckily, I’m here safe and sound. ‘night

Apparently it’s really really really bad weather outside; everything has been closed. I seriously doubt I am going to work today. I know that D11 and UCCS are closed, so a bunch of friends are not doing anything today. /me curls up with warm clothes. Sound off with the comments …

On another note, I bought a black polo shirt last night. I really like it, and I look like a stud in it. I think I will buy more of them soon.

another day, come and gone. my, they seem to do so with such frequency. Had a rather … sobering evening, the details of which I will not divulge. Suffice it to say that I am changing, and not for the better — to put forth a goal of sorts, I have written this nice haiku:

Sign me ‘a little shaken by what’s going on all over, but better for it.’ g’night

So I’m coming to work today on the interstate, I look over and I see this business man. No, not just any business man — a business man in suit, and more importantly in a mini-van! I wanted to laugh out loud. My personal take? A man in a minivan is a crime against humanity. It was wrong. I wanted to say ‘come with me and buy a SUV or a car … please!’ I thought it rather degrading to see such an obviously high-power individual in a soccer-vehicle.

On another note, my day has gone pretty well; no major screw ups or anything, other than that Jef Ferguson [my boss] may be quiting. Would suck to lose his experience, but hey, no problemo.

Update: Tony Anzelmo is a wonderful guy.

I decided that I am going to stay home tonight. Unless someone calls me to go do something, that is ;-] Anywho, I am pretty bored, but I am tired. The tiredness, however, is wearing off rapidly; I want to do something fun that doesn’t take lots of money to do. Yes, that would be acceptable, along with a couple other things [big grin].

I found out that computer books are insane expensive; went to look at some books on perl and php and I can’t believe how much they cost — $24.99 for 200 pages? Give me a break.

My mom is not home, and my dad is at work until midnight. They are going to carlsbad caverns this weekend; I don’t know if I want to go — I need to have my truck’s oil changed and do a couple other things. Plus, I would really like to have the house 100% to myself. That would be nice.

Tonight I was so voracious — I ate a pizza, chili, a tv dinner, popcorn, a sandwhich … I don’t know why. I just ate. A lot. I don’t know if this ‘eating’ thing will be habit forming … next thing you know, I might actually be sleeping 8 hours a night! Speaking of sleep, I’m gonna go read and hit the rack. ‘night

and you might see that absolutely nothing has changed on my site, except that there is now a little ‘comments’ link below. Well, that small insignificant thing points out that my site has been moved off of the NewsPro script and onto my very own, homegrown ASP programming job. All the news is now pulled from a database instead of a text file. It’s pretty sweet. Please comment away!

update: I just realized this change will be a super pain to move off of should I ever decide to. /me reconsiders.

I think I’ll post a little more about that … sometime during the trip, everyone was ragging on me about a lot of things, and Janelle brought up that I never bought her chocolate or did a lot of other things that I “should” have done, despite her distinctly telling me not to. Now, these things all hurt to hear, simply because it was “point out all of XXXXXXX’s faults” time, which is never enjoyable by XXXXXXX.

Well, if I do recall, I did buy Janelle chocolate on Valentine’s Day. In fact, I recall it quite clearly — I was another one of the male drones at the store doing the “walk to flower section, walk to chocolate section, give plastic, walk out door, go to her place, make her happy” routine … I recall talking to this guy in line about how it was kind of lame how everyone’s an automaton … he was wearing jeans, a black shirt, a leather jacket, had long gray hair, and rode a huge ass Harley; he thought it was rather odd that everyone is so brainwashed, including himself. I agreed. So yes, I have bought Janelle chocolate. I don’t know what she did with them, though. She told me to never buy her chocolate, and I’m guessing it’s because she wouldn’t eat it, but I don’t know — the valentine’s chocolates weren’t around very long.

Predator11: get lucky
rand0m: umm
rand0m: let me tell you, I’m trying.

actually concerning some counter-strike lag, but very funny if heard while yer mind is in the gutter [which mine perpetually is].

So I didn’t get to sleep until 4:15am, as usual. [on a side note, I should really get to sleep earlier] Woke up at 8:52am, not really ready to face the world. Got all ready for church, ironed some clothes and called Willianne Burger to make sure she was going — no one answered, so I left a message [10:30am]. Call Jody, told him I’d be there at 12:10pm. Futzed around for a while, called Willy again, no answer, futzed, called again at 12:00pm, then left. Didn’t pick up Willy, but Jody and I had a good time getting up there.

We were early so I decided to take a detour to go say hi to Janelle. I ran inside, gave her a big hug and she dropped the hermit crab she was holding. I felt bad — can those thing survive five foot drops? I hope so … felt kinda stupid about making her drop the crab because of my hug, but hey, the hug was good 😉

Church was okay. I zoned for a lot of it. I seem to be doing that a lot more — I don’t sleep, but I’m not really awake. I just kind of tune out everything. It’s relaxing. Anywho, church didn’t suck ass as much as it could have, but it wasn’t anything to rave about. Came home, dropped off Jody, am here.

I think I’ll eat something for today … I’m not hungry, but I think a cheese stick or taquito is in order.

Thought I’d put something up for the junkies =) Went out and saw Blow on friday night with craig janelle and tony — that’s a good movie, although parts of it are pretty lame. Johnny Depp doesn’t suck near as bad as he could have – I’d give it 3 1/2 stars. Janelle went home after the movie [ACTs the next morning], and tony and craig and I chilled at Pikes Perk, where we saw this 30+ lady urinate in the parking lot and proceed to get completely baked with some guy in a mercedes. It was quite odd. We also met a couple of girls, although a multitude of obtuse moves by the buffoons known as Craig and Tony killed any chances I had rather handily.

Today, after recovering from friday, the 4 of us got together again and went to denver. It was quite fun — we drove the whole way, having a good time, walked around LoDo and, aside from a twisted ankle, had a good time. I realized that I belong in a place like downtown denver; it seemed to call to me — it just struck a cord in me that said ‘this is right’ … I also recognized that I am hard up =(    Had a couple other realizations while I was there, none of which are near as good. After that, we went to Krispy Kremes, a donut shop that has lines 100 minutes long. It was fun – we got donuts, then drove to janelle’s house [from denver], made sure she was home by 12:00am, and then proceeded to just hang out at her house for an hour and a half. During the day trip, I realized how much it sucks to have lost what I had with Janelle; she is a really incredible girl and a great friend to boot. I also realized that Tony is a complete fruitcake, and Craig is a ‘bigger nerd than [me]’ which is kind of … … … bad? Here’s to hoping that somethings mend themselves and get off the rocks, while other things just start to look up.

On another note, I spent a lot of time researching traffic law and how to fight speeding tickets. I actually have an idea of what to do now in case el policia shows up to court. ‘night

It is a slow, boring friday. I want to take a nap, but there are some really mind-numbing tasks that I have to finish. [sigh]

I am awfully surprised to see that my hit counter has surpassed 800 — in such a short time, even. How long has this site been up? A month? hrmm … well, 800 isn’t that much then 😉 I bet that at least 400 of them have been me, cuz I post, check how it looks, repost, look again, update the site, take a look … it’s probably more like 600 of the 800 are me. that’s kind of depressing, but at least I know that I think I’m popular =)

Still nothing to do … why aren’t you people beating down my door? I have the feeling that I might drive to denver and spend the weekend there. Or in Boulder. Tony, if you read this, want to get some crispy cream things in denver this weekend? hrmm
