Otis Lee weighed in at 6lbs and I'm assuming based off the message at 4:40AM! Crazy kid... no sense of time. He could have let her sleep alittle. Congradulations to by big bro! Hope he and the family are doing well! |
|
This thing freaking rocks. It makes like 8 cups of hot cocoa, heats it, and super mixes it (like a blender). Then turns off on it's own when it's hot enough and full mixed. I enjoyed myself 2 cups of cocoa (only to find myself in the potty 3 times before I fell asleep)... but boy was it good! I'm going to see Alien VS Predator today, Thomas (Jamie) and Michael are coming along (this is our Christmas treat for us, we like to do something together). I'm sure the movie will kick some arse (and since I haven't seen too many previews for it, I'm bound to enjoy it not seeing all the best parts on the commercials). For Christmas we gave the whole family Pajamas. The guys all got bottoms except Granddad who also got a top. I saw this cool eagle display while I was in New Mexico, I just had to get it for my pops. I only wish it had a partner one, that was posed the other way so he could have them on his desk facing each other (that would look cool). I'm still tried, maybe I'll take .... *THUD* |
|
Mine was, I got tons of cool stuff from the family, and my best present was from Jen, she was pretty sneaky this year, gave me Bowling shoes for Christmas Eve (when we open a few gifts). Then for Christmas day she busted out a bowling bag (and I didn't think I would have gotten a ball) but then after all the gifts were all done being opened, she sent me outside to get a box out of the car, and it was A BALL! My Jen Rox! She's taking tomorrow to go try to find some goodies on sale - GO AFTER CHRISTMAS DAY SHOPPING! I'll be at work of course, enjoy the work day :/ Hope you all had a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! |
|
My head was hurting pretty bad when I went to bed, and I suppose I was hoping for the best... when I got up, my right side felt like it was ready to *explode*. I popped up, took a leak, took 2 allergy/sinus, 3 motrin, and 1/2 of my migraine pill (trying to conserve them since I only have 10). My head is still pounding, my back still hurts (thought the motrin would help that situation), and the bottom of my room to upper leg keep shooting pains back and forth. AM I FALLING APART OR WHAT! I came to work hoping the meds would fully kick in and I would be able to get everything done today I was hoping to, but now looking at the screen and seeing all the pretty colors that come with a migraine I think I missed the shot by taking only 1/2 the pill. I'll see how long I can last! |

Do you have a theme you want to see? Or at least see my interpretation of it? Shoot me an e-mail (ThemeIdea@adeup.com) or IM (ADEUP on AIM). Tonight is our Holiday party for the command, my lunch plans consist of getting with my old DFAS co-workers, and then right after work I am getting my truck worked on... busy day ahead of me today. Hope it doesn't give me a headache and ruin my party plans, hehe. PEACE! |
|
We just got all our luggage and now headed to Walmart then to get the dog. We're picking up the latest release of Harry Potter, we'll be sitting down later and chilling as a family. Overall ratingfo®this trip was a 4/5, the flights could have been a little better if the stewaresses didn't move the 'frenchie' to the back and replace him with acouple drunks (emergency row rule: you have to speak engish) It was crazy. |
|
We're chilling at my Aunt Linda & Uncle DavidLs house. Their pool looks very inviting. We're not sure what we're doing today, maybe hitting St. Augustines up so Jen can say she has visited it. Tonight we plan on hanging at the house while my Uncle cooks up some goodies. The wedding was a blast (or the the we didn't miss. hehe). I'm sure I'll post a picture or two when we get back. |
|
We've got a wedding to get to! We're crashing a wedding in Florida then going to visit my Aunts and Uncles for a day or so. I really wouldn't mind missing the wedding and just seeing the family, but it will be 'fun' I'm sure;) Did I mention I had my Internet kick offline acouple days ago? I had Cox cable come out last night... they look at the wires play with a few things, disconnect an old spliter... the guy comes back out of the room and says 'your good to go'... so I head up there, take a look at the modem and ask 'shouldn't that cable light be on if it's connected to your network'... at that point the guy was like 'what tha...' he decided to take another look (reconnect his gear and test it)... sure enough it's offline again. He's like 'someone's playing a joke on me... I don't get it'... I'm like 'welcome to the club, you guys play that same joke on me every 3 months'. So he pokes and prodes around for a bit longer and finially comes to the conclusion something is JACKED up. He puts in a work order for today to have them run a whole new line back into the house... I'm sure that visit will be fun. Anyway, between them coming to the house, and having to pack; I still need to figure out where I'm gonna fit my gaming in there... haha |
|
Anywho talk to ya laters. |
|
Caron did, w00t. She even sent me a e-mail to tell me about it. It was great to find out who the 1 person was that was hitting it every few days (cause I'm secretly keeping track of everyone who hits the site!) I'm a little disappointed with the size of it (my new layout) on my 800x600 screen, it just doesn't fit QUITE right on there due ot the toolbars :/ No biggie, if you have a big toolbar, you'll just have to scroll down a little to read the VERY FIRST ENTRY of 2007 (I know no one wants to read that, so no biggie). Hmm not much else going on. We're getting our Stainless Steel Stove (SSS) delivered Saturday, I'm also going to be trying to move a small block V-8 in my truck that day (let's pray I don't lose it, or dent my truck). City of Heroes note: Mike (a guy from work) is playing with me, we built some Master Minds on the Villian side, we're kicking arse and taking names. He's made lvl 42 on his super healer, and I'm gonna be working on my 42 on my super tanker (SUPER because we rock at our toons). The dog info: She's fine, she pooped in her cage the other day, I don't think she had to go when we went out, but when she was left in the cage all day she couldn't contain herself. She went this morning though just fine, I want to make sure she knows to go before I leave for work so I don't have a "potty cage" when I get home to clean up. CIAO! |
|
Well I sure as heck didn't die since I'm typing this message huh ;) Sorry for not updating in awhile but I've been lacking the knowledge of what to put on here since not a whole lot has happened lately. Heres the skinny: Dog: Dog got spade, dog ran out of food, we swapped her food, she got sick, she pooped all over the house, we swapped her back to her old food, she tossed cookies (not literally) on my shirt (it was on the floor not on me). Me: I actually got to the gym several times this week (or 2) and I hurt my back either with the leg lift or playing with the stairmaster (that machine is no JOKE!), I been gaming, etc, coming to work ... hmm yeah that's it. See not much to miss huh ;) We plan on going to a buds wedding in Dec, I'm gonna make it an 'extenda-trip' and go visit my family in Florida for an extra couple of days, I think that will totally rock! Anyway... let me get back to what I'm really supposed to be doing on here this fine day ;) |
|
I installed UBUNTU and got most things working. Turns out that it doesn't like my on-board sound card; not that big of an issue considering I also had a decent PCI sound card installed. It saw that fine, and everything was hunky dorrie until I tried to use my mic.... it was a no joy. I had to practically eat the mic to get anything to show up on the machine side, and when I finially got a bud on the other end of skype I ended up YELLING into it so we could communicate. I'm back on XP, most things are totally reinstalled and operational, got my 2nd drive back up (where I kept all my pr0n [j/k]) and got my service packs, etc back and installed them. I haven't had too much time to get back into my games yet since htose actually take a bit longer to install/setup, so I'll just be playing City of Heroes till the weekend where I have some free time to get everything setup. [I swear i mispelled something in there, but now I can't find it!] Ian is talking about me bringing in all his gear to work so he can build his PC... great idea... cept I don't know if it's all really here or not... be sort of a waste to MOSTLY build a machine at work only to drag it back to my place to finish it off. That's all from my end. Cept that I'm gonna be setting up a proof of concept network for my Mom's buddy... that's gonna be FUN! PEACE |
|
I just noticed that I've kept my 'idiotic personal blog' since 2004! WHOA man. That's a long time! I didn't have tons of space back then, so I had to remove most the pictures I uploaded in the past.. upsetting since I think some of my best graphics and such were done when I was a photoshop n00b. My Archives are at the bottom of my current news page (so scroll down). On another note, I don't think I've gotten around to getting my layouts completely captured, and ready to present to the world... so many smalls tasks that I wish I had done... now I just gotta keep them fresh in my head and get to them! |
|
I got home, took a 3 hour nap. Got up for about 40 minutes, then went back to bed. Only to wake up with the same headache! I'm gonna have to go find my migraine crap, and take loads more of sinus/allergy (took this last night but obviously had no effects on it). On top of all that, I pull the dog out of her crate this morning and her hind legs are wet... wonder what that means... I'll let her sleep in the bed till I don't have a headache and can investigate the crate mess :/ |
|
Actually I just put them all on my thumb drive, so I'll be bringing them all to work. I don't know if I'll have time around lunch to shrink them, etc and get them up on my site, but at least I can show a few people at work. I even tossed on there all my City of Heroes pics, maybe stick them in my collection for my comp's background. I helped my parents move some furniture yesterday, they are getting the new flooring in, then tonight I get to go back and move it all back where it belongs - j0y! I was going to add something else in here... but I forgot and found myself just staring at the screen for a few seconds. I guess I'll just check my e-mail! |
|
Where the pictures went from the Nex Mexico trip.... Jen took them down after I posted them :/ She's gonna go through them, touch them up etc.... but first she needs to get over whatever shes got... she's somewhat sick right now... she better get better, or I'll have to slap her around! |
|
|
|
I downloaded the pictures I mean. I'll have them up in the following folder: this one. I've had a wicked headache building up since I got back to town. It finially drug me down just before going to bed, of course me hoping that the sleep would kill it, I just went to bed... turns out it only got worse, so when I got up this morning I took some Allergy/Sinus crapola and went back to bed till 11 (well after watching an hour of DVR'd TV shows to allow the meds to start kicking in), I still got the dang thing, though it has lowered the intensity quite a bit :/ Anyway... I think I wanna swing by my parents house before going out with Caron and Gang tonight, show them the pics I put up... hehe after I get them up of course. |
|
I found at work today that I am not needed... I got the pink slip all because they managed to do the work without me. I guess I'll be ready to move whenever Jen is :/ AHH who am I kidding... they may not need me... but they can't get rid of me either! GO GOVERNMENT WORKERS! It does turn out that I didn't miss much at work though. I went in at 5AM because the dog got me up at 4, figured why waste the morning at home when I can head to work and get my desk cleaned up. I'm of course VERY TIRED at this point in my day, its 4PM, I still have to make a run to the dive shop, and then fight to stay awake until 8:30 or 9... I'm pretty sure I can make that... sitting around and not burning energy is one of my many abilities, hehe. Anyway, we're back, I'll get some pictures loaded a bit later (probably this weekend). |
|
Heading to New Mexico for a week. See ya when I get back! |
|
She was walking Summer this morning, and a little pug followed her home... even followed her up the stairs and stared in the window :/ We did what any dog lover would do it - tossed it off the porch and said good riddins... of course not. We caged it, and posted a note on the main board for the community. I took her for a walk when I got home, she went both ways (potty I mean). Let's hope her owners call her soon, she acts like she is a good dog. Nothing else new to spit out, another OLD bud found me from Leilehua on MySpace, we caught up really fast (you know, cause we're guys... heh). I try and check MySpace out everyday... it usually has a shot at getting checked when I play City of Heroes since Laura (one of my leaders in the SuperGroup) goes LD (link dead - booted from the game due to her poopy computer or internet host). So feel free to message me on MySpace... IMming me isn't the only way to keep in touch;) |
|
I have to get up in 4 hours to get the dog up and outside before she Sh*ts herself. No big deal really, since she's already pooped on my side of the bed :/ I went over to Caron's house to head up to Busch Gardens... well that flopped out majorly due to time restrictions. I did get to see 'Staying Alive'... pretty decent idea for a game/movie. Only a couple times did I see the future coming ;) Check ths out - Chris just shot me this shot, said there were some ## of bands represented in it... lord knows I'm bad with numbers... so try and find 20 ;) Night! |
|
Nothing new here though, the dog is learning to go potty outside faster now that we're giving her a treat for doing it. PUPPY POWER! |
|
|
|
But I just wanted to post -- WE GOT A DOG. It's a 6 week old Yorkie, which we still haven't come up with a decent name for yet. But it's in the bedroom getting more sleep than I am at the moment, heh. Tomorrow I get to work until NOON then head home, our CAPT gave us a whole 3 hours off... which was very weird considering all we've ever gotten was 59min for any other holiday... that means for Christmas he'll have to press it harder and give us a whole 4 hours! Night folks. |
|
I already called the boss, and I just took 2 Sinus and Allergy pills (let's hope they knock me out). I'm feeling like I need to punch the screen cause it's too bright for me atm. I am going to order the white Zune off of w00t.com today, I don't particularily like the white, but Jen says the brown is like dookie. Well, let me get that ordered, and go lay back down. |
|
I've been up since 1AM now, a nasty little storm just zipped itself out of here about 5AM. By time I get to work I'm gonna be completely wasted... hopefully nothing major will break. I'm working on a centerfold for my bud John T. his car magazine is doing another color centerfold and wants a collage ... and of course I said I would dabble a little on it... of course I've left all the photos at work AGAIN. I won't be able to leave it this weekend, that will probably be my only chance to get it done before he has to send it out. WOW, my machine just got done with a virus scan, removed 5, had 6.. the 6th one is in my backups... obviously that can't be removed... I just wonder how far the backups actually keep... so that content will expire (the 5 removed were cookies... I don't know why they catch those... but I guess it's always good to keep the machine cleaned up). Anyway... another 25 minutes until the alarm goes off, I guess I'll just lean back and watch some more TV until I hear it, then rush in there to try and get my self fully awake. That's all folks! Z00m! |
|
In about an hour I should be boarding our 'over-sold' flight back to Norfolk. They only offered 200 bucks, food for the night and a comfy bed... next flight goes out tomorrow.... hardly worth it. Last time Jen and I travelled they offered free roundtrip anywhere in CONUS... we even stepped up..souldn't pass that deal... bad thing was they didn't need our seats. That was a pretty productive trip, we got some pot holes on my land filled. I got to mow it with a riding mower...quite fun. We also visited my lawyer - he'll be sending a letter to my neighbor to move his porch off my land (he's lucky I'm nice or I would have helped him tear it down). We also handled some deed transfers... which is always good to get out of the way :) Not much else going ATM ... guess I'll write more this weekend from my comfy comp chair. |
|
Yeah in 2 more hours I'll be heading to the airport to catch a DIRECT flight to DFW (let's hope we make it ALIVE, hehe). I just read in my e-mail that I have a funeral to attend to on Tuesday... good thing I checked my e-mail before I headed out.. might have been alittle ill-prepared. Anywho... gotta finish getting ready to go! |
|
we're waiting to pqrk the plane now... he got us here 15 min early...sad fact is we get to sit and wait to park. anyway... I still gotta figurr out how to get my rental... then survive the trip to ny pops... haha. hopefully I wonalt get ti lost. wish me luck! |
|
That was fun, he was on his lunch break, so we didn't have much time to talk... but it helped (in the sense of not knowing what your family was doing) to hear what was going on up there. Everything seems fine.. which of course is always good. I just wish he were still down here, just not the same hanging with everyone and not having his butt around. And of course the gaming alone isn't any fun either... but I think we've both walked away from DAoC this time without having one foot still chained to it. I've been playing some Sim City 4 Deluxe, and some Sea Rogue (DOS game). Haven't had any time to sneak into CoH, or get any layout work done with MySpace... and probably won't for some time now (with going to Texas, and all that). Ohh, here's some pics of our trip last Feb. to going Skiing/snowboarding: So that's it! |
|
Sorry, been a bit busy around the house, fixing Cyndi's computer, breaking my own. Trying to understand a few things around the Internet that I ditched back when I was a 'web dork'. I should be logging into DAoC for the last time (with a real purpose) sometime this weekend or next week. After that if I sign in it's just to help a few buds out with something... because I now find the game totally lacking any sort of single player fun. Eddy and his buds are playing City of Heroes... which means I get to play Counter-Strike Source a bit more (we can't all be on at the same time, hehe)... I'm kinda sucking at CS-S but I like watching it after I die... such good quality graphics that it actually looks as if I'm watching a movie with a really dumb character. Anyway, not much else going on. I'm gonna hang out with my Sisters tonight, then tomorrow I'm going to see the Simpsons movie -- hurray for yellow people. On the 6th I'll be headed to my fathers for some fun in the blistering sun, hopefully we'll be able to fix our land issue down there. OK, I'm out! |
|
Eddie is gonna let me borrow his XBox 360 so I can actually try some of the games before I commit myself to owning one. And with any luck I will decide to not by either (PS3 or XBox)... according to Jen ;) I'm hoping he and I can find some time this week though to have him come over here so I can teach him some more stuff on City of Heroes... I still have a hard time getting around... so I can imagine his luck on getting around without knowing much except to pound the fight keys. heh. We got home today, and I was so happy because I was gonna be able to get back to my situp/pushup routine... been a whole week I've been slacking off on that sorta thing (workin gout period)... so I did it... and I didn't kill myself, w00t! Not much else is going on... I got to play some CoH myself... got my little defender to level 18, w00t. with the help of my first CoH SG (SuperGroup). I hope to find some time again this week, but with getting the XBox... I have to decide between the two which one I'm gonna spend my 1.5 hours of gaming. OK, that's all folks! CIAO! |
|
Glad that's overwith. Now I just gotta figure out what to do with all the other 'black' space on the site, hehe. I'm spending the week at my parents house, they both went to a conference and left me to kill... I mean watch the animals. So far so good, 2 more days, and I'll be homefree! Saturday I do believe we'll be going to Busch Gardens with my Sissy... Hope we get up there at opening so maybe we can hump the Griffin a few times before it gets busy. |
|
I hope you all had a great 4th. We all went to my parents house to eat Pops YUMMY barbeque. I helped out my cutting the meat on the stick, and sticking it. I got some swimming in while all the kids went to the Wally-World for some supplies, heh - I'm sneaky swimmer. You know... I think I'm already tired of my MySpace layout... I feel I need some color back into my myspace life. Guess I'll be working on a new layout for that soon ;) Not much else going on. Eddie gave me some money to re-activate my COH (City of Heroes) account.. I've played that a little, was able to see some old buds. Since he is paying.. I gotta stay off so he can try it out ya know ;) Anyway... back to business. |
|
If you would like to see this layout without the news inserted, click here Alright, I gotta head over to Mom's house to run her to the dealership. Maybe after that I can hit a movie... still haven't seen Pirates :/ |
|
Ohh.. no I'm not. I've got my new layout finished... the picture part anyway. Now I have to get the code together and push it up. I'm also going to take this web layout, and modify it for my MySpace.. hopefully it won't look too retarded. My sister's bud Eddie wants to check out City of Heroes... So I told him we could activate my account again and let him create stuff on there... since I have both expansions that will save him about 60 bucks. It will also give me a chance to go back and talk to a few of my buds on the Freedom server, maybe make another level or two while enjoying the well architected world of CoH. Hmm not much else is going on. I think I'm going to take a practice exam for my SANS 512 course... see how ready I am for the real deal.. and gather some insight into what will be on the test so I can study better. My sister (Caron) is closing on the sale of her house, w00t. Let's all goes well ;) |
|
Anyone else extremely bored of this layout? I'm gonna have to archive it here shortly. Then after I get the new layout up, I'll get the archives all finished up so everyone can check out my past work... sometimes it's fun to see the old layouts ;) I can't believe I'm bored...Guess I'll just goto bed. |
|
I'm working on a layout for MySpace site... of my myspace site. I'm still debating on what sorta background I wanna deal with... but I think I may just put that off till later. I found out my old man has a myspace acct, I tried getting him to add me as a friend and he hasn't responded yet?! wassup with that, haha. Jen created Mom and account, I'm sure it won't be used except by us. So anyway... nothing really new going on. I sold my second machine for 500 bucks, it was worth about 900, but I promised a kid if he behaved in school I would let him have it for the 500. He stuck to his part and pulled off the rest of the year without getting in trouble, so I delivered and pwnt his butt the other day. CIAO! |
|
Where you all can post stuff too. And post a lot more of my pics. Who knows... only time will tell. Ade |
|
Yeah I'm a no-load... you all knew that. She went through and renamed all the photos (well most) from the wedding and the cruise. I'm gonna take them, shrink them to a decent web size, then make some thumbnails, and post them for your viewing pleasure. DAoC News: My main account should by deactivated by the end of July... so I'm trying to give everything away on that account that I can. The 2nd account isn't until October, but I don't know what I'm gonna do with that acccount, since it's made up mostly of 'help' toons (not real killers). hmm not much else is going on. My sister moved into her new place, we had a house warming party earlier this afternoon. I'm sure we'll have plenty of good times over there, now that they live closer, hehe. PEACE |
|
We got in late last night, despite the fact that we should have been home a bit earlier, the airlines had different plans for us. heh. Then trip was pretty good, I felt like I was eating at Captain Georges for the first few days. I really don't feel like going into the cruise details right now, maybe I'll leak some out on the next few posts ;) Guess it's time to get back to real life... I'm exhausted already! |
|
|
|
This guy likes to talk... sometimed he doedn't even know what he's talking about. Jen stayed home today... I gave her a headache lastnight... it seems she stresses out just before she takes a trip.. and thus triggers me to stress out. I'm sure fromhere on out everything trip related will be ok... just that initial burst of frustration... then we work everything out as a team and get it all taken care of. So the trip is on Saturday, we'll be all setup and ready to roll. I still need to find my bag... we hid it somewhere cause it wasn't needed last trip. ok...wow he's still talking about the same thing (circlular training). Peace |
|
we found out earlier that we'll be in here until 6pm...geeesus! he just told us we've been moving alittle slower because of necessary interuptions... I think by the end of this week i'l have enough extra time on the books to take my whole trip next week on it. not much else is going on... I got my ranger closer to rrt (realm rank - means player vs player level) but haven't done much else on the game. I went and mowed my parents yard... and of course got myself a real red neck. so next week Jen and I fly to Florida and hop on the big boat. kk let me start paying attention again. |
|
At first I just thought it was one of my average headaches, but after I sat at my computer and played DAoC for 30 minutes, I realized I better take something because it wasn't going to stop on it's own. I went and took my migraine medicine, and sat back down at the game (knowing it takes a little while to kick in), soon after 4:30 I decided to lay down and hope that would help. I got to watch Heroes before I decided to lay down in the 'dark room' (our guest room [darker than any other room in the house]). Jen came home, found out I wasn't feeling well, and left me alone. She came back a bit later and offered me some meds (which was good, since the migraine medicine didn't seem to be doing the trick). I guess about 9pm she decided to see if I wanted to watch House... of course I still wasn't gonna move, so I passed back out until Midnight. I finially woke up, and decided that I need to take some other meds, nothing was working at this point...I went into the bathroom looking for the sudafed (the sudafed Jen gave me earlier seemed to help a little, so let's take some more). I ended up finding some 'Sinus Headache' medicine -- who knew we even had that, heh. I took two pills, went and grabbed a drink, and passed back out. I woke up this morning at 6:30 and felt much better... still have the headache but I'm not expecting my head to explode now. I took some more meds this morning, along with sudafed... headache hasn't budged any more or less :/ I also packed some away in my pocket for later today incase I need it at work. Now I'm in training, and having trouble even understanding the guy... I couldn't miss this class though, so I'll just sit here like a dumby. The joys of my headache... isn't it grande? |
|
Don't worry, not much has been going on to warrant a post... so you didn't miss much ;) I read my last few posts, and noticed I said 46" TV, it's really a 42"... guess I had my hopes on that SONY one we were looking at (which didn't fit in thespace provided). Just 2 more weeks and we'll be on our cruise, only thing that will probably change is I won't have work to do (work, and around the house) haha. DAoC News... I think both accounts are running out of time. I'm enjoying the game again, got my Ranger upto level 50, working on my artifacts now. I may invest some time in Alchemy since it seems to be needed in the game by most people, and you can maintain a decent inflow of cash (so when I'm not playing, least I'll make some money to pay the house rents). I may go ahead and keep the accounts active for a bit longer, maybe 6 month periods instead of a year at a time. hmm who knows. It's Mother's day, Happy Mother's day to all that somehow stumble onto my page, and those dedicated readers ;) |
|
I gotta find out when BestBuy opens, and get my arse down there and pick it up. Then by Monday we'll be getting the Digital Cable box to try that free for a month. Jen doesn't want to try DV-R or whatever it's called, because she feels she doesn't miss any good shows now.. so why record stuff that she's used to missing :/ Isn't that jacked up, haha. We had a small luncheon at work, I'm kinda suprised over 20 people showed up, we had a good time. Then I got to bring most of the left overs home, hehe. Not much else going on, I still have the office a mess, and my motherboard is still acting up on 'the beast'... but I've got another part coming in to swap out, and we'll see if that fixes it. OK, let me see if anything is going on in DAoC -- I just haven't found it very exciting lately... I guess I won't miss it when the accounts expire. Peace! |
|
Not a whole lot going on. I'm in the class again, losing my mind listening to the information coming at me... think I just can't comprehand it that fast :/ Luckily I ended up in a group with a real software engineer, so most of what he says is on the right path for our group projects. Jen and I have discussed 'time limits' for my gaming (actually general computer time). I'll get 1.5 a night unless something comes up, between games and surfing the web, I can see that going fast ;) I'm debating buying Hitman: Blood Money, I've played the demo and enjoyed it... but I'm beginning to wonder if I'm gonna have time to thoroughly enjoy it as I did the others. ahh who knows right, it's on sale right now for 39.00, better than 50, that's for sure. I also bought TRUE CRIME: New York, I've been finding some of the 1.5 hours to put toward that during days I'm not trying to run into Big T or Jas on DAoC. Hmmm... anything else... hmmm I got my raise! A whole 200 dollars more a paycheck :/ Doesn't seem like much, but I guess it is in the end. OK, head hurts *thud* |

Yeah, I'm slowly getting around to getting everything done, setup, hidden. The pictures from Vegas are being shipped, so should be to us within a couple more days. I'll have to post them the old fashioned way - just like the cow/city of heroes ones - I know you all won't mind ;) DAoC News: I got to play for 2 hours last night, got my ranger from RR2L8 to RR3 and from level 39 to 40, GO ME (that means the area I was having so much fun in is behind me) -- time for big boy land, I'll shoot him straight to level 50 from there since there aren't anymore fun areas to RVR in until I can head out to real RVR. You should check out the song by Muse called "Starlight" a bit trendy for sure ;) I also like that song "Grace Kelly" by WHO KNOWS, hehe. Sorry, had to spit that out, listening to LaunchCast (from Yahoo) on the other machine and was chilling to that song while I wrote all this ;) Guess I better hit MySpace up and send out my 'Hey! I got married' stuff huh? Caio. |

OK, I'm pumped, I'm going to Vegas in 2 more days! Course I still haven't packed or anything... so tomorrow will probably be pretty hectic trying to get my clothes cleaned and packed, haha. Anyway, I went and bought Eragon, gonna stick that in and chill watching that. I'll try and get photos etc. on the NET from Vegas ASAP ;) ADIOS! |

I updated the layout, this one will probably be up for 1 or 2 months due to me being so busy reorganizing my life, hehe. I had a 'layouts' page built, but now I can't find it (so you can pick the layout you like, and view that one instead of just the one I picked for ya)... but I guess I'll have to refind that :/ In DAoC I've been getting my crafting skills up (in tailoring), so I can make outfits for my other toons (FUN!), last night Jas. and I went and farmed FI for the drops (3 mobs, about 7 min each time we attempt it). So we got plenty of junk drops and 3 decents ones, it worked out in the end. All that junk let's me salvage everything for my ARMOR crafting skills, heh ;) So I'll be pretty pimped out in the end making all my outfits. I have to go get my passport this week, I've been slacking on it, but Mom finially dug out my birth cert. so I can head on down there and get everything wrapped up. Well nothing else really going on, I learned a thing or two in Adobe CS and that's how I ended up making the new layout, pretty neat stuff, I may just start taking a day or so every other month to do some tutorials, and further my crazy arse skills :) PEACE! |

The Vegas trip is coming up fast. It's the 7th of March and we head out on the 26th. I've been playing DAoC same as ever, haven't moved any of my toons in levels in awhile (since I like where they are now). I installed Macromedia Flash MX, been looking into that, saw some pretty neat little templates I could probably have some fun with -- specially a photo display one. I'm thinking once I take the trip to Vegas, and I've made sure I know what I'm doing in Flash, I can toss everything in Flash, and make it available to all. Course I've got a learning curve on the app, since it's MX, and not 8 and most the information on the Internet is upto date, and not covering MX anymore. Hmm anything else? I helped Jen put up her blinds the other day, and she showed me how to remove EXCESS slates from it -- quite an experience to say the least (CONDO CONSTRUCTION SUX!). Don't forget to notice I updated the Links section, I updated it recently, but didn't put a plug in my NEWS section ;) |

Tomorrow we finially finish class, so maybe my brain won't explode after all, but then we have an all-hands for our command where I get a letter of appreciate for helping the the CFC campaign :/ I really don't feel like getting in front of 700 people and looking like a retard :/ In DAoC I've been working toward my uber Warden (light tank), getting all his artifacts, and outfit all setup -- quite fun to play. Nothing else really going on, I'm going to see GhostRider this weekend (Friday actually) and spending Saturday with my Bro-In-Law while my sis and momma run around. Short and sweet, gonna take a few min to chill while I was Tommy Knockers with French subtitles and 2 second delay on sound :/ |

hey gang, been kinda busy playing my game, trying to keep up with things about the house, hitting 'house' shows, and keeping up with other family things... kinda forgot to update :P~ Either way I don't remember what happened in the last 2 weeks to spit them back out, I know in-game I got my warden to 50, and showed how badass my Vamp was. I e-mailed Mythic (game provider) and bitched about some beginner stats stuff -- I really wanna go visit them since they are only like 3 hours away. Anyway, not much else is going on, still waiting to get paid more, haha. I did send some money down to my pops to pay for the land just down the hill from him so I have a plot to stick my mini-shack on, haha. Aights, peace! |

Not me... I'm back on the IMers - after getting my 3rd box back up and running (TY MICROSOFT for breaking the IAVAs!) Now I'm thinking about hosting a site, or a webcam or something from it - to fully utilize the machine (that or install DAoC and run a 4th account, haha). Not much else has been going on lately, I helped Jen 'prime' and paint her hallway, and 'primed' her kitchen, then becaues my Bro-In-Law Chuck was off Saturday I asked him to come help me out in the kitchen, where he ended doing the majority of the work * THANKS CHUCK! * I was supposed to go out Saturday night, but wasn't feeling upto it at the last minute so I stayed home and watched 'GridIron Gang'. It was a good movie to say nothing else and spoil it for ya ;) SEE IT. I also watched 'The Illusionist' which as my Dad puts it 'it was good because it had a story line' [and not just all magic]... I have to agree with him, all around great movie. A couple other movies are coming out this week, that I may have to get my hands on... I love watching movies - though I'm usually sitting at my computer not paying attention to them so I have to watch them twice, hehe. Do you want a 'Word-of-the-Day'? Let's see here! pettifogger \PET-ee-fog-ur\, noun: 1. A petty, unscrupulous lawyer; a shyster. 2. A person who quibbles over trivia. I talked to my Father the other day, he's doing good, freezing his buns off down there... I gotta send him some money!!! AHHH I'm such a procastinater! I'll send that stuff out tomorrow, that way I'm caught up on all the mail sending (because I'm also sending my brother a 'Super ERD' disc so he can try and recover his 2nd and 3rd machines. |

And I haven't gone to bed yet!! It's 3AM!! I'm gonna lay down -- and try and get up about 8.30. Guess we'll see how tired I am when I gotta drive 4 hours to Massanutten to ATTEMPT to snowboard ;) I won't be home till Monday, then Cyndi will have a computer waiting to be worked on for me to have some fun with. Tonight I spent most the night working on my 3rd box, because Windows was saying it was activated.. bla stupid machines. So I got it finially reloaded. I'll get all my programs installed on monday.... OFF TO BED!! |

Now your thinking 'wtf is this guy talking about', I'm actually talking about DAoC. My buddy Jason (Reaperxx in game) has been hanging out with me quite a bit, and we've talked about doing different artifacts and what not... well I finially got him the last artifact he needed while he was offline - muhaha. He had to log for the night to spend some time with his family, so I took the opportunity to ask my guild (Regulators, w00t!) to help me hook Jas. up with the arti. Of course since I am a nice guy they pulled together and we tore the task up, adding a couple other artifacts to make a mini arti-raid. I went and grabbed the book off my merchant for Jason's new artifact, and got it activated, then moved his toon back to Aerus (where he left him), and finially went to bed. I was told today I was supposed to have sucked down some black-eyed peas, and some grapes for new years... I don't know what all that is about, but I DIDN'T!!!! Now what? HUH? what now? Wanna fight?! Nawh, but still -- who knew! not me obviously. I think I mentioned in last year's posts that I got my snowboard for Christmas and we were getting a couple trips planned for me to kill myself. In 2 weeks, we'll (some people the command where I work, Jen and Myself) will get our arses upto one of my Fav. mountains where I will attempt to RELEARN how to snowboard, haha (I'm pretty freaking dense -- so we'll just have to see how all that works out). I'll be gone all weekend though, so don't try to get a hold of me :P~ We also has 2 trips planned on February 19 & 20, and a bus trip on the 24th and 25th. WEEEE! |

I thought I got enough sleep last night, I went to bed 5 minutes after Midnight, and didn't really get up till 9AM. Course I did keep myself busy. Jen and I went to 2 furniture stores looking around, nothign there deserved room in her living room, so I went back to her place and helped her clean up her kitchen (that means manual labor scrapping the wall of old wallpaper). It was fun though. Now I'm deep in DAoC trying to enjoy my evening and relaxing like a champ. I hope everyone had a good New Year beginning! Hope ya like my new wacky layout. I'm sure it won't be up for tooo much longer as I get bored I tend to make new crappier ones, and I'm sure I'll rotate this one out just as quickly as the last. |
