Well I guess this blog deserves an update. I’m writing this one from work. As usual I am sitting on the stool behind the counter bored out of my mind.

2 weeks from today is my first mid-term exam, and then 5 more in five days after that concluding friday march 9th. I am no where close to being prepared for that.
Of course after those exams I do get a week off. Hopefully I’ll be driving down to Seaside, OR (see posts from March and August last year). I want to get some shopping done and finally get my lightning bolt tattoo.
I definitely could use a break.

Since Dan (my boss) quit to go work @ Starbucks we have been severely under staffed. I’ve been working every Thursday, Fri, Sat, and Sun nights. And apparently my current boss is attempting to follow Dan to Starbucks. I’m going to be so lonely at work if that happens, that will leave only one person working who was here when I started working out here…

That’s all I have to say for now…

As usual, I don’t really have anything to say at the moment. Since I started the subject of this post with the letter “A”, I thought I would talk about something that starts with that letter.

On May 8, 2006 I placed an order for this camera case case from Amazon.com.
It still has not arrived…

Since I originally placed my order, I have ordered and received _18_ different items from Amazon. So overall I believe Amazon to be a pretty good business. Why can’t they get me my camera case?

I read the new Hannibal Lecter book, and was not really impressed. The plot was pretty simplistic, and I’ve read books with much more gorier (is that a word?) scenes. Try the rat scene from American Psycho…

I’m just finishing off Parachute Infantry by David Webster. It is the memoirs of one of the members of Easy Company (Band of Brothers). It includes a number of parts that were featured in the Band of Brothers mini-series but were not in the original Band of Brothers book. It leads me to wonder why Webster isn’t credited as part of the source material for the mini-series.

That is all…

Wow, if I could combine Lex Luthor with the Green Lantern’s power ring, I would be unstoppable!
Muwahahahaha!

From Rocky IV:
Sylvester Stallone thought that it would be a good idea to have legitimate (rather than shadow) boxing in his fights with Dolph Lundgren. However, Lundgren’s powerful punches gave Stallone some legitimate, albeit temporary rib and heart damage.

Also, I just realized I own batmanhl.com and I don’t even really remember buying it…
For the record, dimensionz.net, mac-gaming.com, and batmanhl.com all come straight here.

1 down, 4 to go…

This should be a fun week for me…

My new exam mustache is really rocking it right now though, maybe if you are all very good I’ll post a picture tomorrow…

EDIT:
You ever notice how I end up with some weird google ads on the top of the page here?
I know have programs that attempt to match the ads to content on the site, but what post did I ever make that prompted two ads about marriage? Right now at least there is an ad about surviving divorce, and another one about relationships.
I just realized that writing this post about them will probably cause those ads to continue to appear because now they really do match the content of the site.

Maybe if I mention pornography, porno, sexy-times, I will get some better ads…

Neil Patrick Harris…

Look how disgusted Vinny is by the fact that Wanda is kissing Doogie. Maybe they did have a thing going on? But really, who would choose a short italian over the hotness that is Wanda?

Then again, Vinny grew up to play a gangster in the Sopranos, so I guess anything is possible…

Are you happy now Dave? This is the gayest my blog has ever been.

Well I won’t be making it to school today.

The farthest I could get out of my driveway was about twenty feet. It then took me over half an hour to even get my car remotely close to being back in my driveway and not blocking traffic.

I’m not really diggin’ the snow.

Or the idiots in my complex who had people plow it on Sunday without salting it. So basically the roads are a big sheet of ice. $152 a month I spend in strata fees and they can’t buy a bag of salt?

Ok, so I’m overdue for an update here…

Last night as I was falling asleep I thought of something really cool to write about, but now I can’t remember what it was. I quite often have really good ideas come to me as I lie in bed at night and I always assume I’ll remember them the next day, but I never do. I need a voice recorder to keep by my bed so that I can quickly record the ideas before I fall asleep.

I’ve found myself in a reflective mood lately. The type of mood that usually leaves me to pull inward and break off contact with most of those people around me. I’m generally frustrated with my life, I don’t feel any better off than I was two years ago at this time. Indeed I definitely had more fun two years ago.
Although I could be lying to myself, as I tend to be overly nostalgic, and paint my past in a rosy picture.

I think one of my personal problems is that I have a high sense of self-worth, but low self-confidence. I’m disinclined to do anything that could possibly cause me pain (emotional or physical). I also tend to not be very open with people. I tend to reveal outrageous things that uncover nothing (or very little) about me personally rather than to share anything that would truly give a person insight into my personality.
I play my cards close to the vest, probably closer than is healthy. I don’t think anyone out there really “knows” me…

This post is one of the most personal things I’ve shared in a long time, and even as I sit here, I’m strongly considering deleting it…
