Alright, my parents are gone. Like, they are *gone*. For two months. AFAIK, they have no plans of coming back anytime sooner. I am pleased with that, although the “having to water” part sucks. I don’t like watering, or mowing the lawn for that matter. Small prices, though.

I need a ride to my class tomorrow morning; it starts at 9am. Drop me an e-mail or call me. Or I’ll have to drive there [bad bad bad idea]. If anyone wants to come over and have a gathering *cough*, that’s cool, but someone has to give me a ride. That too would be a small price to pay =)

Saw Lauren Blomgren today; first time in a *long* time. She was with her dad. I was afraid of him; he is quite a bit bigger than janelle’s dad [who is very intimidating] and at least 10,000 times meaner. Anywho, i saw them, don’t think they saw me; if they did, they sure didn’t react. Not even a sneer, which is what I expected. heh. Her tits are better, but she looks like lauren, and [this is the clincher right here] she still is lauren. wanted to say hi, but didn’t. odd how she means so little, despite that I was all wrapped up about her for months. weird.

well, it’s not so bad. Got an insurance policy for an ungodly high amount of money and it’s ths cheapest I could find — signing up for it in the morning. then i attend a crappy *6* hour driving class [no actual driving] class on saturday [$50] then pay the dmv $40 for my license re-instatement on monday. Then I get a probationary license that’s good through december. If I get a ticket for any points in between monday and then, I am moving. Simple as that. Also, my driving is restricted to home, downtown, voicestream, gateway and uccs … I will find out if I can stay downtown until like 9 or 10 pm and then go home from there; that would be okay. hope someone is enjoying their concert! ‘night

update: i am really … depressed? down? no, those aren’t right, just *sad* about this. it will completely kill anything resembling a social life. oh well, 80+ hour weeks gotta be good for me.

i don’t know where i’m going, but it’s probably not in colorado for long.

the short of it — lost my license yesterday due to being over the point limit … have to take a 2 hour class and show some insurance and i’ll have a probationary till end of december. found out i’m not, and never have been, a declared driver on my parents insurance. so i have to sign up for insurance on my own. that’s gonna cost at least $300 up front, and could take up to 3 weeks. in the meantime, i’ll quit my job, not pay bills etc.

on another note, i get to enjoy my parents shuttling me around for the rest of the week.

… felt like you don’t know where you’re going? I was reading the title of this book; it said “If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll probably end up somewhere else.” How true. I feel like I am losing direction. Sure I have long range goals, but nothing even short to mid-term. I really have no plan either. This definitely needs to change: I think I’ll write down some goals and some ways to reach those goals and read them every day. twice.

Had a very relaxing phone conversation tonight as I laid on the cement sidewalk. The night air was cool and refreshing, and the stars were twinkling, the moon glowing lightly. It’s not every day that I get to enjoy such things; a good step out of the ordinary.

Think you’re getting a nice fat juicy refund this summer from Good Ol’ GW ? HAHAHAHAHA THINK AGAIN! Dependents get zero refundage. Grrrr. No, not just Grrrr, more like G*(@*#!@#$ #*@( (*^!@(!##!^$)(

Had a good, relaxing day today. Found out my parents are not leaving the 28th, but the 29th – Friday. Oh, I saw The Fast and the Furious: good movie, ended very abruptly though. Go see it =)

Went out and had a night on the town … it was good … out till about 3:00 am, home and asleep at 3:30am. Affirmed that Dean is The Man and got some digits …

The guy from Unisys came and fixed my laptop — I’m really glad that it works correctly now. I may have a bad stick of ram, though; I’m upgrading to 256 anyway, so it’s not a huge deal.

It never fails that when I’m showering and I’m scrubbing my face with apricot scrub [de-skinner stuff? what’s that shiz called?] and it invariably gets in my eyes. That stuff stings like hell. I do not recommend following rand0m’s lead on this one.

Update: One of the most addictive internet games I’ve ever seen — www.vectorinternet.co.uk/games/kick-ups.html — thanks Pat McDavid!

update #2: Screenshot of my 101 high score.

So I’m laying there in bed, it’s 8:18am and my cell rings … all I can think is “please don’t be dale with a DSL problem!” … well, I answer my phone and am greeted by a pleasant “Hello Mr. Kohutek, my name is Matt from Unisys.” and I say “uuhhh … hi?” And he says “I’m just calling to find out when a good time is for us to come out and replace the motherboard on your laptop.”

[cough]

“What?” “Yes, we are an authorized dell service rep, we have your replacement motherboard, and we want to know when we can come replace the defective one you have.” So I said whenever they are downtown cuz I’m out of the office after 11 … gave them my cell and the address, and they are coming to replace it sometime today. Isn’t that freakin’ incredible? GO DELL SUPPORT! WOoooOOOOOoOoOoOooo!

Update: Today is a good day — not doing the work over at ProntoCom until Tuesday; that gives me more time to figure out exchange 5 and nt4 RAS =) w0ot!

I have had a very troubling time keeping track of what day is what this week. learned a lot about Frame Relay, Point to Point and ATM today at work, which was quite enjoyable. I spent a fair chunk of time bumming downtown, as usual, which was also pretty good. i am tiring of it, though; i can only go get coffee so many times before it gets annoying. dunno what to do about that.

met another guy who works @ gateway … spammed business cards, and got some e-mail addies … umm … and yea, fixed a couple things on this site … and that has been about it. came home in a helacious rain/hailstorm; almost didn’t get here. It wasn’t even close to the nice, warm rain I got to enjoy a while back; this was more of a biting, cold, harsh rain — almost malevolant. on that note, i’m thinking some stuff, and going to sleep.

Went and worked out for the first time in forever today … did my upper body, everything until complete muscle failure. It felt really really good … then I ran 1/2 mile and sat in the sauna for 10 minutes then took a cold shower. I feel pretty tired; my muscles are completely dead, and I’ll be hurting in the morning, but it’ll feel good.

After that, I went over to Tony’s and partook of some excellent tony-cooked salmon. It was quite good — a little lemon juice and some tomato on some especially tender fresh bone-less fish. Watched some of Abyss, then went downtown and relaxed. I had a good time.

I have also come to an unanticipated problem with my site; I am unsure if I want to continue to run it like I do. Sure, it generates some conversation and gets people interested, but unfortunately, it’s mostly people catching flak for this or that. That is not the intended purpose at all … And in that vein, I am going to cut back a bit on the amount of news that involves other people and their opinions. if this is too extreme, don’t read it.

Now, be good citizens and go put on your cargo pants and get back in line.

Okay, so i’m thinking that people want some juicy content … I have been away for a few days, and have been unwilling to post simply because I haven’t had a whole lot of anything interesting to say that wouldn’t get people all hot and bothered … [update: why does this matter? seriously, people can just fuck off.]

So yea, as for some hot action, there is a pic of Angelina Jolie to the right … a PhotoShop Edit? waiting to happen. On that note, I have been jonesin for some p0ontang more than normal. odd that. I think it comes in waves. [update: that pic makes me want to find a girl and … umm yea.]

Saw Tomb Raider on friday, and got completely trashed with tore and later laura on friday night. that was cool. Finding my truck heavily vandalized was not cool; i have proof that it was done at my house now, but I still have no idea who did it. That sucks. Saturday Laura and I met up with tony and janelle and did springspree. that was cool. my parents saw me and came over and talked to me. that was suck. the rest of the day was very enjoyable; met up with janelle for a relaxing evening of talk, breadsticks and a brownie @ old chicago. heard there was a big party @ craig’s, i didn’t go. My parents had a talk to me about the quality of the people I hang out with and if I “know who I am” … i was mildly irritated, but put out some good comments.

Today has been really uneventful. I slept with no intention of waking up before noon … went over to the pad and watched part of “Mission to Mars” and part of the matrix … it was good. then I came home, gave my dad a card, and had some really good steak — I ate so much and it was so good I felt like I was gonna explode. then somehow survived 90 minutes [3 tapes!] of my parents shitty camera work of california. that blew cock like no other.

that’s been about it … haven’t done much of anything else besides waste time. tomorrow — a week anew!
