Glasses in the Dark

Posted on by

I’m writing this posting while laying in bed from my Droid. As I was preparing for bed, I turned on the bathroom light so I could go and turn everything off in the living room. I proceeded to the bathroom to remove my contacts; I usually keep my glass in there but this morning I didn’t put them on at all so they were still by my bed. So, I turned out the light in there and proceeded to my bed in the dark since I forgot to turn the lamp on.

I said all that to say this… as I walked the short distance to the bed in the dark and without glasses or contacts, a path I have travelled tons of times, I literally struggled to find it because I felt like I couldn’t see if something was in the way because I didn’t have the glasses. I then thought to myself… how the hell are glasses going to help me in the dark? The next thought was… woohoo you have something to blog about.

Time to recap today. It was a nice day bc it was kinda short. Got to work and then had to do the conference call and when all that was over did a minor amount of paperwork. Then I had to drive over to the SW side to go to ATM training. Yes, I’m sure you’re thinking that there is no way I need to be trained on how to use an ATM. Well, we are getting a new one and have to learn how to service it, which sucks.

So that was a boring class but I got home around 4:50 after being stuck in traffic on 59 and 45 for like an hour. And of course the best part of the day was when Rudy got home and Cameron, Rudy and I went bike riding. We are real familiar with the trail we ride but really stepped up the speed. What was taking 20 minutes took maybe 10 today. Got me all sweaty and what not.

Now I’m laying down to try and get some sleep. Until I get that clone I need, work will continue to be exhausting. Nevertheless, it will all be ok because we will go riding again tomorrow night.

I think I can blog again… I’m off to a good start at least. More to come tomorrow.

Bringing Blogging Back

Posted on by

Well, I’m going to try. I’m sure I have like zero readers at this point. I kind of abandoned the blog for some reason but I’ve been thinking and I want to try and start working on it again. I love Facebook and all, but I kind of feel guilty when I use it since Mark Zuckerburg makes money off it and screwed all those people.

I decided to change the theme and break all my old posts off into a different category. Maybe a fresh change will encourage me to write more; not to mention the fact that I just renewed my domains. I was looking through my old blogroll list and I had to delete almost everything out of it because all the blogs are without updates forever or gone. I remember back when it was fun–don’t really remember what happened with that.

So what’s new with me you ask? Well, I’m the same person that you know. If you don’t, read back on the old posts and you will get an idea. I am going to work on a new about the author thing because my old one said that I was still in college and had been with my bf for only 2 years. I’m long out of school and we’ve been together 6 years.

Rudy and I just started off road biking not too long ago. It’s been a nice change since I let myself get over 300lbs. However, I’m back down below and still losing. I’m down 15lbs since I started biking and it’s been fun and easy. I feel a bit more healthy overall and am glad that I’ve found something that is fun for me to do.

Maybe I’ll start putting some pics on here from time to time. We’ll have to see how that works out. I think this is going to wrap it up for right now until I get something else on my mind to write about. Come back soon, I plan to keep the content coming.

22 Years Later

I’m still alive and kicking in this world. I heard the rapture is coming in 2012 so I’m going to live it up until then. In other news, I was just reading an article about a student who shared 30 songs several years back on Kazaa. Well, the case has been going on for a long time in court and evidently he now has to pay the RIAA $675,000 for those 30 songs.

Isn’t that awesome? If I had no expense what-so-ever and could give them my entire gross annual salary, I couldn’t pay that amount off in 21 years. What’s wrong with America? I gotta go with the folks over at God Hates Fags and say that God isn’t exactly raining his blessings down upon this nation. Read the article for full details.

Back in the Day

There once was a time where I had no problem coming home, sitting down and making a blog post. Now, I come home and want to make a blog post but I can’t write about anything. I like to talk about my work but I can’t put anything about work at all on here as it would be confidentiality issues and stuff.

However, we could talk about kickboxing. I went tonight and it was wonderful. I’m so glad that I’ve started going back to the gym to the classes and stuff. I just saw some pictures of me and I really look like a pig so I’ve decided that I had better start and take some steps to reduce that. I’m getting to be pretty darn good at kickboxing. I don’t know if I will ever get good enough at it that I could do the full contact stuff. Would be a nice goal though.

I’m actually pretty darn sleepy as of right now so I guess I’m done writing for now. I’m going to keep making updates though. My 3 year old blog begs for attention. :)

Welcome to the new home of Don’t Laugh at Me. I’ve had sparkeh.com for a long time now, but I’ve decided to snatch up this domain since I saw it was expiring.

It will be much easier for me to tell people the address now. I do, however, plan to keep sparkeh.com as well. I will probably just keep both domains and they will both go to the same place.

Strange IM Today

Posted on by

I just got one of the most unusual IMs I’ve ever received. I know there are bots out there, but in this economy, this one communicates a message that makes you a little uneasy.

— 5/15/2009 —
RecycledCoho (4:58 PM):
This is an automated message, which your employer has chosen to distribute via Coho bot. You have been laid off. Do not come to work in the future, as you are no longer employed.

Anyone else receive a message like this? I actually IM’d the screenname back and it comes back and tells me it is some guy named Jose. I don’t know if it’s a bot or this RecycledCoho is actually some kind of thing that relays between random screennames and this guy and I just happened to get linked somehow. Random!

Vacation

Posted on by

So this week I am on vacation. So far, it has been a productive week for me. I went to the doctor on Monday for the pain I’ve been having in my knee. His opinion is that I’m having some kind of inflammation in the knee and that there are no other issues. They took an X-Ray and everything looked to be fine and my movements don’t hurt unless there is kneeling. So I’m on some anti-inflammatory medication that will hopefully cause everything to go back to normal. If not, it’s on to an MRI to find out what else could be the issue.

Today, I helped my grandpa clean out his barn/shed at his house. I got up on the second level and took everything out and swept it all clean. He had the shed built back in the 80s and has never cleaned up there since. I found a dead rat carcass that had probably been up there for years. It was really weird looking. Like a skeleton only. However, we were able to clean everything out and throw out years worth of things that they never were going to use ever again.

Tomorrow, if the rain holds off long enough, the people are coming to redo our awning over the back patio area. The first installer didn’t do it right and it ended up blowing up during a good wind. Well, that bent the material but he came back and put it back using the bent material. So we had a leaky dang patio cover so the company is sending some other guy to come and take it down and start from scratch, with new material, and do it right.

I think I might be hanging out with Britney tomorrow, whom I have not seen in ages. I don’t know if we are or though cause we were planning on the beach action, but it really looks like rain. I think I might spend the day cleaning up my room. I really want to paint the room, but I don’t know. I need to stain all my furniture so that it all matches. Sounds like I have quite a plan sometime. The only thing I hate is that my room is so small. I just don’t have room for anything.

I have a strategy to get out of debt in the next year or so and I will hopefully be able to explore the idea of living on my own. I’m afraid that the strategy may include me working a second job, for part-time. I just need a gig that would be like 3 nights a week for a few hours. Use my second check just to pay bills. I’ll have to see though…I just don’t know if I’m ready to go back to working ’til late at night.

We shall see where the path takes me. On a different note though: I’m glad to see that I’m back on the blog. I am going to strive to post more often here. It’s hard for me to sit and do it though. I’m going to dedicate myself back to it. If I ever get daily again, it will be a miracle.
