Avs!!! + night

Posted on by

Went and watched the Colorado Avalanche stomp all over the New Jersey Devils in game 7 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, making them the best in the NHL. Tore, Laura, myself and a little later Tony had a great time watching the game at Old Chicago — Go Avs!

The game ended and we met up with Janelle over at Josh ‘n John’s … the ice cream was good. Saw Lily, Amy, Keith, Adrian and Ryan over there, as per usual, which was cool. It was good to see janelle for more than 5 minutes. We had a good time, then everyone split, and Laura and I chilled for a while at the park.

About 1:30 Laura gets ready to go out to Hide ‘n Seek [club]. I walk her to her car, and she has a flat. And her spare is toast. hrmm … So I gave her a ride over there. No one else showed up, so at 2:40 am I gave her a ride home. I’m here now at home around 3:35 … that’s a lot of driving. Earlier today I was thinking about how much I enjoy a good drive, but I really don’t like driving around shuttling people. hrmm … oh well, it was good.

And that’s been my day. Oh, my mom is home. ‘Ungh!’ does not describe how I feel about that. I want her to stay not-at-home. More thoughts tomorrow … ‘night

When you go to get the tire replaced, dismiss discount tire. Forking salesmen. Bastards. Ruthless deviants. "I’m getting better. No you’re not, you’ll be stone dead in a moment." I feel better and only occasionally have coughing fits.

i c your comment page works again! hoooooraww
2001-06-10 21:13:47 – Laura
next time, i’ll try to make sure that there’s someone other than you around when i might have a flat so you don’t have to shuttle me. i mean, you offered, but i should have refused and spent the night at the park…ugh.
2001-06-10 23:55:56 – rand0m
yea … here’s my reply: wtf?

Man, today has been dull. I heard and saw that a bunch of people went to phs graduation … that’s pretty cool. I have spent my day lounging around at work figuring out how to turn Database information into printable labels. not going to well.

As for tonight, i have no plans. as for tomorrow, i have no plans, although i think my mom comes home soon [suck!] — I really wouldn’t mind if I didn’t see her for another year or two. [gets back on track …] Yes, avalanche game, possibly over @ Tony’s place, starts at 6. Call either tony or I for details.

*rand0m goes back to doing almost nothing. breathing a little, blinking occasionally. that’s about it. someone should set something up tonight so rand0m won’t be so bored.

Update: The people page is now in the database and super-administratable — look for a plethora of updates soon.

specialness and today

Well, today it 06-07-2001. Inspired by fondly recollected memories, this is a rather sentimental day to me, for personal reasons of which I will not divulge.

Make the best of today because, well, there won’t ever be another one like it.

2001-06-08 11:36:08 – Siaokh
Uhm… 06-07-01…. just another day for me. I make the best of every day. If you try to live in the past, you wont see what is happening right front of you today.
2001-06-08 12:12:21 – Forgotten Vet
D-Day was yesterday you f00l!!!
2001-06-08 12:15:54 – Xeon`Friday
Damn today is friday… that means that its the weekend which means that I am not going to Denver since I don’t have a job… suggestions?
2001-06-08 12:21:21 – Laura
yeah, craig, you should throw a party…i think that you would have fun at that party, especially if you invited people. hehe. you could buy the new weezer CD. you could also smoke a bowl. you could eat green aggs and ham. D-Day was yesterday? look at me care. i mean, geez, i think we should get that holiday off work, then i would care. 🙂 what is everyone else up to tonight? does anyone wanna go catch the avs game tomorrow night? i know you do. it is game 7, after all. (GO AVS!) and, i bet i can guess why yestersay was sentimental for randal, but, well, eww. heh.
2001-06-08 12:30:42 – Xeon
what this "buying" activity you speak of? Why not just download the CD for a "evaluation period" and burn it to disk.
2001-06-08 12:48:21 – bastard
ROCK ON!!! I’m HIT 4000
2001-06-08 12:50:18 – Laura
because you like the band and want to support them. i mean, i would steal bands CDs who I only kinda like. Besides, the weezer CD is the coolest shade of green ever, and you can’t reproduce that. and it’s not like you can buy anything anyway, you have no job. 😛
2001-06-08 12:58:43 – bastard
You need two people for grocery cart smashing which works like this. The passenger holds onto the buggy with an arm through a car window while the driver of the car accelerates the vehicle to about 30-40 miles per hour. When the correct path to a target is established the driver will hit the brakes while the passenger releases the shopping cart which will continue on at 30-40 miles an hour (which is extremely fast for a shopping cart). It is amazing how far in the air these shopping carts fly when they hit a concrete parking stub or a curb. Some carts have back parts that will open and seemingly hover in the air before crashing down. It is important to only use the metal ones and not the new cheap plastic jobs because they bust apart.
2001-06-08 13:03:54 – your mom
yeah, shopping cart busting is even cooler with my BBC in Randal’s ass. and even cooler than that if there’s someone in the cart when you release it. maybe that’s what craig can do this weekend; ride in shopping carts.
2001-06-08 13:06:00 – The Burnz
Goddamn it Tony, who gives a shit about shopping carts unless you are trying to convince us to do it. Besides, that is shit from jackass- The Worst Show Ever so for the love of Mary get some taste before you open your mouth. And craig, you should buy the Weezer CD, those bastards really ate it on Pinkerton, a little love for the boyz would be good for you.
2001-06-08 13:11:12 – Laura
the new CD is actually pretty good. not as good as the blue album, but i don’t think anything could be. it’s worth purchasing in a store. see, that’s the problem with you computer nerds. you don’t have social interaction because you can do everything on your computer. go to a CD store and get tans! 🙂

jobs and misc

Posted on by

Welp, I went ahead and hounded some places about employment. Contact Tek Systems, a hiring firm, went and had an interview. They’ll see what they can bring up, but the lady said the best entry-level position for minimal-experience people is cable modem installers for Adelpha. She said they make $14-15/hr to start. Wow.

I also went and applied @ VoiceStream Wireless … they are paying ~ $12/hr to start, with zero experience. Requirements: English. Windows 95. 20+ WPM typing. yea, easy what? If I want that job, it’s definitely mine. At more than $12/hr too … it’s far away, but worth it.

Gonna go call Gateway and MCI again right now.

Miscellaneous nifty thing: open up aim, and start talking to someone. type a couple words, then hit control+backspace, and watch a word get deleted. Handy as hell, I’m tellin ya [grin]

So yea, I’m watching ‘Art of War’ over at the pad, and this racoon tries to break into Tim’s room. It was hilarious … it was just up on the roof chillin. hehehehe … on another note, played b-ball w/ tore and tony, and just about killed myself; it feels good to be tired, though. ‘night

2001-06-06 22:20:35 – Janelle
hey randy – you do know that the idiot boyfriend of Carrie’s (who came to our party during spring break and who thought he was hot shit w/ computers) is a modem installer guy for Adelphia. Not to turn you off to the job, just thought i’d let you know… 🙂
2001-06-06 22:34:06 – bastard
HUH? I thought he was alright. Especially since he got carrie off drugs, but maybe you have a different perspective about those things. ADELPHIA!!! ADELPHIA!!! ADELPHIA!!! oh, btw, that crystal, senorita es mui caliente
2001-06-07 00:45:37 – rand0m
yes, I know that matt works for adelphia. I also know that just because one of the employees for a particular position is a complete mental retard who needs to be slapped doesn’t mean that the position is bad. I wouldn’t mind … I would bet it’s a shorter commute than Voicestream.
2001-06-07 06:14:32 – Janelle
he was all right. we just argued and argued about everything. it was mostly funny, though. and like i said, randal (with a a smile if you’d notice), dont let it turn you off to the job. and tony – who is crystal? did you mean carrie, or is this more of your random stuff, like it was some chick from last night? anyway, i’ve never seen a raccoon. still. *sigh*
2001-06-07 08:52:13 – bastard
owwww my f&&king knee
2001-06-07 09:54:45 – Laura
yeah, so, i wish i was not in college at the moment because i could be making as much money as my parents (more than my father at the moment) and be here, so that jeff fucking foster would be cool with *dating* me. that is, and i talked to him, the *only* thing that’s making him have apprehensions (is that the right word?) about it. i mean, at least we’d have fun for three months, even if we do break it off, assuming it even lasts that long, which it probably won’t because the average length of my relationships is 3/16 of a day. damnit damnit damnit. but his mind isn’t decided on that, and i get to talk to him about it again, so you should all give me advice. and although this has nothing to do with adlephia or whatever, i’m pissed (disappointed and sad). 🙁
2001-06-07 10:51:14 – bastard
relationships and friendships are the same… do not lie, do not fight, and do not lie owwww my f&&king knee
2001-06-07 10:54:58 – Laura
yeah, friendships are relationships, but usually not romantic relationships unless things are going really bad, or going really good. and, in this case, it’s going really good. we’re both attracted to each other, etc. so i don’t see what the fuck the deal is! ahhh! i need to find the few words that will convince him that it’s a good idea, and they have yet to pop into my head <sigh>
2001-06-07 10:58:37 – Siaokh
*sigh* Contracting agencies have got to be one of the most lucrative enterprises there are. You find people people, and you find jobs. You match people up with the jobs, charge the companies an exorbitant ammount for these employees, give the employees about half of what you are charging…. Jeeze… I need to start one of these companies. As you can tell…. I have some issues with contracting / temp agencies. Getting $14-15/hr to start is hella good. But you have to find out what their turnout rate is, and if there is any room for raises/bonuses/promotions. I’m not sure… i’d be somewhat concerned of going to someones house (that you dont know), and fucking with a computer that isnt yours…. *shrug* i guess i’m just an odd duck. Silly raccoon… i have no clue why it was trying to get into my room. But after i took my shower this morning… there were like 10 squirrels running around the house and on the roof… i think i scared the hell out of some of them. Oh well, they’re just brown squirrels 😉 -Tim
2001-06-07 15:19:51 – Xeon
Have you checked monster or dice lately? I am there right now and a TON of jobs opened up today and yesterday … a lot of them at compaq but like half of them are really suck jobs (i.e. ITo specialist I type jobs)
2001-06-07 15:53:44 – Xeon
damn I just noticed that rand0m’s website is becoming more popular than mine… hrm /me advertises more muHAHAHHA
2001-06-07 16:21:16 – rand0m
I don’t think that my site is more popular, per se, but rather that I have consistently new content that keeps people coming back. Personal opinions for craig: 1]redo graphics or redo site design. 2] post more often about interesting things. 3] become uber-leet. and there you have it, 3 steps to website godliness.
2001-06-07 16:29:29 – bastard
on the website design, don’t forget… porn always attracts. take for example the following link: http://furnitureporn.com/office1.html
2001-06-07 19:36:51 – Siaokh
Awww man…. i really didnt need to see that! Well… maybe i did, but i’m gonna stick with my first story. Sick-sick people… Not quite as good as the plug sex though *you know what i’m talking about* -Tim
2001-06-08 10:50:10 – people
randal, you are often an ass. who cares what craig does with his site. it is his site.
2001-06-08 10:52:53 – anonymous_person_NOT_hiding_behind_fake_name
randal, I think tony makes fun of tore too often… but on the whole, I really like tony as a friend, he is smart and funny, oh, and he is very sexy… oh, and another thing, I DO NOT SMOKE TOO MUCH POT!!!

wow …

5 comments about khakis. That just makes me feel good. That much discussion about something as simple as a certain-colored fabric that can be cargo’d or not. heh.

Went and watched the Avalanche get pounded tonight by the New Jersey Devils in game 5 of the Stanley Cup Championship. That was depressing. Something quite a bit more depressing was when tore, laura and I were sitting there and a bum came up and just talked and talked. It made me sad to see that someone who had some things going for him made a couple bad decisions and now lives beside the bank. What’s odd to me is that it seemed like he had no intention of seeking out a way to change his predicament. It was really sobering and made me feel like I take quite a bit for granted.

On another note, I haven’t really had the opportunity to spend any time with Janelle, and it shows. Seems like every time I talk to her we’re at each others’ throats; I don’t know if it’s because she’s stressed about finals and I have my own things to worry about or if I have changed into a hardened, cold shell of who I was or what, but it really sucks. I don’t like having that icy coolness in a conversation. I’ll see what I can do about this situation; I’m thinking just lay off until things settle down and unwind a bit. advice?

2001-06-05 18:00:12 – Siaokh
It is so unfortunate that the homeless people dont make any sort of attempt to get theirselves out of their unplesant situation. Sitting there on the sidewalk, asking for change 🙁 I would most certianly give the fellow quite a bit of money, but knowing that he will use the funding for alcohol and other "Bad" things, i do not. If i could be garanteed that the money would be put to good use… I’d be all over that. A very sad hockey game indeed… Hopefully the avs can re-tie up series on Thursday in NewJersey. You’ve gotta give it to both teams, they’re playing their hearts out. /whois Janelle
2001-06-05 18:35:11 – rand0m
Janelle is my ex-g/f … please see the <a href="people.asp" class=home>people page</a>.
2001-06-05 23:19:33 – Laura
hmmm…at each others throats all the time? yeah, settle that before you become mat and i. because you don’t want to become a dick, or have sex with men. hehe. yeah, i’m tired. anyway. it will pass, i hope.
2001-06-06 01:29:26 – The Burnz
Any relationship, current or lost can always be solved with cutlery.
2001-06-06 02:30:18 – RealBigHead
I have to agree with The Burnz. I don’t understand why more people don’t solve relationship issues with fork duels. Oh gee, did I misinterpret his comment? whoops.
2001-06-06 06:53:53 – Janelle
hey randal – i’d go for a fork duel, but leave out the knives… whatdaya think? :-). and you know guys, maybe it would be good for randal to go in search of sex with men. broaden his horizens, *open up his mind* :-). yeah, whatever, just a thought…
2001-06-06 09:47:57 – insaneblackdog
After a few hours of twidling with my computer I disconnected it from the phone line and ran this nice security scan hosted at DSL Reports. I got a email today saying well… <a href="/misc/tonyscan.html" class=home>you read it</a>
2001-06-06 09:58:22 – rand0m
I’m sure that if we got into a utensil duel there would be could hash out some sharp issues [hahahahahahahahahaha] as for broadening my horizons, no thanks — i don’t need anything expanded, especially not my ass! *closed-minded … whew!
2001-06-06 11:48:48 – The Burnz
First off, Black Dog, what the fuck are you talking about? Linear conversation is an art, don’t be Tony for fuck’s sake. And Tore, you were right on, it is all about the fork duels, and Randal, why won’t you give it a chance? YOu and me could make such beautiful love. Some wine and pillow talk. Friday night, lets give it a whirl!
2001-06-06 11:59:23 – rand0m
Quick note … insaneblackdog <b>is</b> tony. As for the friday night lovin — I’ll only do it as long as you’re gentle with me [hehehehehe]. Can we include some sharp objects too? I hear that masochism is all the rage now.

Room 419, Xeon has become a burn victim, he was flaming too many people on the forums. Someone retaliated, and Xeon couldnt move out of the way in time. Or he burnt his finger lighting a recreational tool. -Tim
2001-06-06 15:07:30 – insaneblackdog
remember when you were a kid and you were frightened by the "boogie monster"… turns out the "boogie monster" was a flaming homosexual predator who liked to dance, dance, dance…
2001-06-07 01:18:28 – Xeon
wow … randal likes to dance? I didn’t know that!
2001-06-07 11:42:57 – Laura
yeah, sounds like craig is flaming. maybe he could go for some hot randal ass sex. hehe. the prostate gland is fabulous, or so i hear, especially when stimulated with a fork. 😛 tore, you’re a freak. and tony…think: "what is the subject of this conversation?" and reply accordingly. 🙂
2001-06-07 12:15:11 – bastard
the subject: wow … if you would like lessons in english or in reading text i am sure i could refer you to someone that may be able to help my f&&king elbows hurt!!!
2001-06-07 12:48:02 – Laura

Ok I made a joke .. and now I get flamed for it… we’ll I am done with the gay jokes because a) ppl obviously don’t get them b) I think respect for the gay community is often neglected (hey they are human too and we have to respect what they believe in) c) these jokes are getting really old I also am giving props to Tony for the awsome job of comic relief on rand0m’s web0rz

i feel obligated to post

Posted on by

and so I will. today was pretty boring. didn’t do much. ate some food. did laundry. went up and saw janelle at the mall. bought some pants and a new cell phone antennae. came home. ate with dad. finished laundry. that’s about it.

I have a lot of khaki pants. I like them; they are very versatile. I can wear them with just about anything that’s in my wardrobe. Ahh, khakis.

*note to self: do not make anymore short, curt, to the point posts.

2001-06-04 11:53:14 – Siaokh
You gotta go for those Khakis that are both cargo pants and shorts in one. Double the wear, not quite double the price 🙂 -Tim
2001-06-01 14:29:10 – The Burnz
Cargo pants and Khakis? Good lord people, do you own Gap stock or something, you fucking company men? Peddling your damn soul for tan / beige garments. I am all about the colored slacks, I would argue they have equal versatility as well as a deeper sense of style. Khaki is just so street, I don’t feel it shows that you take your wardrobe seriously.
2001-06-01 14:05:56 – bastard
ditto tim got mine for 6$
2001-06-04 16:45:09 – Siaokh
<joke> Well… in the rugged urban ghetto… you gotta have cargo pants. You never know what’s around the next corner… gotta have all those extra pockets for magazines for your gat and all. Guess it’s a ghetto thing. </joke> But still… Cargo pants kick ass, enough pockets to carry everything you want… and still have some extra space… Keys, wallet, cellphone, leatherman… etc. I too have coloured slacks and find myself limited by them… cargo pants are the shit. -Tim
2001-06-04 17:17:13 – The Burnz
Get a jacket for carrying your shit. A nice leather with a lot of pockets, it saves on the transfer in and out of the pants and is very stylish with the slacks. Plus you can hide your nine and a sawed off in it for those raging rhinos that troll the streets of Ghettorado Springs.

and sweet. did nothing today. played frisbee with tony, tore, janelle, craig. met laura, lilly, amy, adrian, matt, janora, genie for coffee. craig mad, storms off. tony made fun of, leaves. i get gas, home.

that’s the rundown. I don’t think I’ll post anything more concise other than that Janora, Genie and Lilly are fun people to be around.

2001-06-03 02:53:22 – Laura
good to see i’m not fun to be around…guh. yeah, tony told me he wasn’t pissed off (i went in search of him). he said he just wasn’t having fun, which is prolly true. matt is not fun to be around, he’s turning into an elitest fuck….grrr.
2001-06-03 11:40:35 – rand0m
why would I call you fun when you seem to take a poignant interest in ragging on me every chance you get? That’s not fun.

Alrighty then

Posted on by

Went out with Tony and Tore and saw ‘Moulin Rouge’ tonight. Man, what a whack movie! It’s funny, tragic and very out there. The best part, though, is that we met up with Ellen Satterwhite, Lilly R. and her brother Nick, Zach Frank, Adrian Tuck [tall girl from phs] and a guy I’ve never met named Jeremy. All in all, it was really good to see Lilly again …

And now, after some serious asp coding and Tony and Tore’s help, the news now shows only the latest two weeks of news, always. The news is now displayed depending on the value of a ‘ShowBit’ [1 for on, 0 for off] in the database — hence, it’s very easy to manage later on down the road. If you want something more than just the past two weeks, please hit up the archives page …

And now the sobering news … I got ‘the letter’ in the mail — from the dmv. yup, on 06/26/2001 @ 3:00pm I have an ‘informal interview’ about a suspended license. That sucks. But hey, at least I had a good time with Tony and Tore, and got to see some people I haven’t seen in a long time [grin]. hope everyone has a good weekend. ‘night

servar, sleep, leech

Posted on by

Was up until about 1am last night getting my servar prepped hardware-wise to give to this guy for this laptop [which I’m writing this on]. Was up until about 6am trying to get win2k to install onto a SCSI-controlled HD … with no luck. Went to sleep, woke up 2 hours later, said fuck it, and dropped it off to him. i hope he doesn’t mind [grin]. Got to work at about 10:30, and jef bitched. I just stood there … not in the mood for confrontations at all. Then I got some coffee. it was good. the lack of sleep is bad, but caffiene does great things. and now I am in a telephone closet in the roger’s building, where our wireless is, which is currently not working, and I am using some company’s DSL connection. being a computer professional is handy; it let’s me do all kinds of things that normal people can’t do [grin].

Spent the evening over at craig’s place. they smoked up. i sat away from them and loved my laptop. I’m so lame. heh

how I love

rain. it was raining on the way home tonight; when i parked, i got out, and just stood there, looking up at the sky, getting soaked by those big, fat drops of falling water. it was great. it made me feel great. and then the lightning flashed, and i could see everything — individual rain drops, the clouds, everything. it was simply spectacular. i suggest that the next time it rains everyone go out and just enjoy it.

simply incredible.

2001-05-29 05:33:43 – The Burnz
Oh goddamn Randal, not you too. Here you were sounding so anti-drug and now you are talking about the rain. Please don’t snort any more diced cock. Hey kids, I’ll be in the springs this afternoon/ evening (May 29th) and thought I would use Randal’s site to see if anyone wanted to entertain me tonight. Nothing flashy, but sex is always nice. This is Matt by the way, why don’t I just put my own damn name?
2001-05-29 15:19:27 – bastard
