It's been a while, let's see....

Christmas...not much there, saw my parents that's about it, I did go to a club Thursday Christmas Day...I learned two things

Straight rum is BAD
I can use a bank machine totally kerplastered and not even remember it

2 am at club...some rum...I woke up at home, good to have friends keep an eye on you. :))

Friday a few of us went out and the club was dead...rent a few movies, I only watched one of them and then slept. Had a little cough.

Saturday...woke up feeling like ass...coughing and runny nose, what the hell, it's not even cold outside and I get sick? went out anyway but didn't enjoy it so I went home early and slept.

Sunday...went out to meet a friend, ended up have a very interesting conversation with a 26 yrs old Native American male , who had a very different view of the world, I enjoy conversing with people and measuring my own understanding of things against other's. Went to my favorite club and the music was cool, even if the place wasn't very full. went home at 2 am. Had to get up for work in 4 hours.

I just got myself a christmas present, a 21" monitor. As long as the sucker doesn't fall off my desk and kill me, it rocks!

So now I'm running two monitors, one 17 and the other 21. The glow is almost warming.

Well,
I am wasted...J took off way too soon and missed out on some fun.
just when I think I might have a chance with D, then this guy she likes from about 2 months ago shows up and boom. DENIED! I will never understand women, (nor will any other man)
That is ok with me because she is cute, but I do not feel a connection with her. I need more that just physical attraction, the mind must have some kind of connection as well. though she did say Montreal is a good choice and I will add her opinion to everyone else's and come to my own decision.

I am tired of insulting Grimm in ICQ and think he is crying now so I must go to bed so I can get up at 6:30 am and work later today.

Wish me luck

I am going to go out with J to the cave. This should be interesting, I have never been but have heard from everyone it is cool. we shall see.

and the adventures continue, not in a gay way (NOT that there is anything wrong with that)

Well, I think I am going to chance fate and go out tonight yet again. I don't usually go out on Monday nights but this weekend has been good and I don't want it to end.
I am on call so drinking is not to be done, I am sure I can have fun without it.

If I survive this I will let you all know. ( I'm sure your on the edge of your seats/beds/whatever)

I am also going to see about 22" NEC "Perfectly Flat Tube" Monitors for $269, which is a wicked price...wish me luck twice. :)

Since Thursday I have had about 7 hours sleep. Anyone who saw me at work Friday can confirm (not that I need confirmation) I was wiped...I got home around 3:30 am and didn't get to sleep until after 5 sometime and the next thing I know the alarm is going off at 6:25.

I know I was at work Friday but it is a slow motion blur. That night wnet to see my DJ friend and it was good as usual and hooked up with my brother. A friend and myself went to a Punk party at 3 am and it was kind over when we got there but had good conversations, I like getting other points of view. Got home around around 5:30 -6:00 and crashed, didn't sleep long got up at like 9:00 am with every intention of going to do some Saturday christmas shopping, but did not leave the house until 10:30 pm...to go to a club. Danced too much and went home at 4:30 am didnt get to sleep until around 6:00am got up today and cannot move...sleep soon

This blog thing needs spell check.

Man that sounded bad, I have to stop letting work get to me.

Merry whatever you like :))

off to drink....

Christmas shopping....the horror. I hate...no loath it every year, I leave it to the last minute then rush around , not liking the crowds, not liking the sales staff wanting everyone to go away and give me 15 minutes alone in the mall and I would get all I need. The one exception is for my mom, I need help picking something out for her, she doesn't want nik naks, doesn't have time to read a book or use her computer, she is a pain in the ass to shop for, her birthday is always a nice card virtual or real and she is happy. I know for Christmas I need to get her something real but never have any idea what. For my brothers one gets a lump of coal and the other gets Future shop gift certificate so he can by a PS2 game. Those of you who know my Brothers know which one get what. Then there is my dad, two choices there either a gag gift or something to do with wrestling. That leaves friends, one agreed to get me nothing and receive the same in return, I need more friends like him :) The others are going to get something they probably do without as I cannot afford anything they really need. I can not wait for this to end.

Marry ho ho and all that crap

Bah humbug

Well, snow on the ground when I woke up Sunday, I didn't see any on the way home at 2 ish in the morning. Winter is finally here, look at it this way the sooner it starts the sooner it will be over.

And now the weekend report

Thursday was my normal night, I always a joy.

Friday got a hair cut and went to Joe's and had some fun with two good friends and my bother (<--not misspelled), went for Chinese afterwards and burnt my tongue on the shanghai chicken, I let my brother skip out on the bill and paid his share as he had to work in a couple of hours and I feel sorry for the little retard. The three of us left the place and started walking south in hopes that the farther south we went , the warmer it would get, we soon discovered that a few city blocks doesn't make much difference in temperature. Damn it!

Saturday went to a company Christmas party, didn't really know anyone there but the two guys that invited us, FREE BEER, they had Keith's on tap, drank, rented Final Destination 2, I love the highway crash at the beginning and the airbag death the most.

Woke surprisingly early on Sunday with a head that did not want to have any human contact, other that the company that was already there of course. Did nothing but pickup some pizza around 5 pm and then my usual Sunday of renting a movie if nothing is on and seeing as I had less than any interest in the 3 hour Survivor finally, a couple of friends and I rented Bad Boys 2...seemed to be a weekend of sequels in life and in the movies.

I hope for a part three, as the last two weekends have been so good

Christmas is coming for those that celebrate or follow those beliefs, to the best of my knowledge this is suppose to be the time for celebrating the birth of the son of the Christian god, however that has been over shadowed by this gift/fat guy in a red suit thing.

This season has been ruined for me, I am having real trouble getting in the spirit. My childhood memories are of the family decorating the whole house together, having fun sneaking out of the house with my dad to go pickup some gift for my mom and helping my mom wrap everyone gifts. Now it seems I don't even like seeing the trees and lights and crap...I would like to hide behind the "it's the too full of commercialism" but it truly isn't that.

Those that know me are aware of what I am talking about and I have done my best not to let it affect me in any great way. It has been the little things that I have noticed, like little anti marriage comments I now make and such, I was never very big on marriage as I see it as a religious requirement more than anything else.

Back to the point of this thing...I have decided to buy myself something, I have a few choices and I am not sure which one to treat myself too.

1) a new 30 something inch TV, my current one works fine but is old and only has coax connection none of the audio stuff and I can't connect it up to my computer easily
2) a SoundBlaster Nomad Zen Xtra - 20 gig MP3 player that doubles as a portable HD, I have my laptop already and a 32meg USB key so I really don't need the HD functions, maybe a small MP3 player would be better
3) another box, something over 2 GHz processor
4) a new PDA, my current palm m500 just isn't cool enough
5) a better cell phone, the one I have has good sound and reception but that's it. I need IR and if I can get something, PDA and phone combo that would be better, I need to look at what Rogers offers

I am leaning towards the phone/PDA but we will see.

Back to work....

I think some people have trouble with the concepts of fiction and nonfiction.

To assist in the education of others I am providing the information below

Fiction
1 a : something invented by the imagination or feigned; specifically : an invented story
b : fictitious literature (as novels or short stories)
c : a work of fiction; especially : NOVEL

2 a : an assumption of a possibility as a fact irrespective of the question of its truth

Nonfiction
: literature that is not fictional
Both from Merriam-Webster's Dictionary

Now that we all know that. If you are writing a piece of fiction you should state it to be so, as some people may take what you are saying for the truth and I know no one wants to mislead anyone. Before anyone starts with the not always believing everything you read, I say even if you do not believe what you read it imposes an idea or opens you up to easier acceptance of a similar fact, if you hear this similar point from another source even if unbeknownst to you the secondary source is using the original false idea as a basis for their information. This is almost like broken telephone, with the exception that people may be unaware that they are perpetuating a falsehood.

Through the obtuseness that was this weekend, I recall....

Thursday....went to the usual place,no much happened, 5 beers and 3 shots later went home at 3:30 am to get up for work at 6:00 am...I would not recommend this.

Friday....worked I guess...don't really know.....got home passed out at 8:00 pm or so woke up 11:30 am Saturday....Friday was gone just like that.

Saturday...2 beers then went out 4 strong at 11:30 pm to the bar...2 beers and 2 shots, she showed up a little later 2 beers another shot....at around 1:00 am, two people left, they are not real party people.....leaving the three of us, to go to the after hours 1 1/2 beers , this is where the night really happened, I was in control as the drinking had happened over a few hours, conversation was deep, there was music all around but it did count for much, he fell asleep in a chair so it was home time...5:00 am..sleep ....7 1/2 beers and 3 shots.

Sunday...got up at noon..video gamed until 4 or so and went to eat with sleepy boy.....he left around 8:00 pm and two others joined me to watch the season finally of Carnivale...a great show by the way... get a call at 9:30 pm, let's meet and have a chat, the chit chat was good from Saturday night so lets see where this is going, if you know me you know I like to talk, met just after 10:00 pm talked and
had 3 or 4 beers, it was then 2:30 am and I needed to get to sleep....walked a little talked some more....I am not sure if we finished but decided to call it a night...we will talk again....

Well, I went out tonight and have to get up in less that 2 and 1/2 hours. had a good night , Met three girly girls and danced with two of them. I saw one of my friends exs and she is the hottest chick I can talk too. Said Hi, and blah blah blah....than she was gone. Saturday is the Darkrave and I'm going to go, drinks until 6am is cool. Anyone who wants to join give me a call, if you don't have my number or can't get it. I guess I don't give a shit if you are there or not.

BLAH!

Sleep now!!

today the release date for hordes of the underdark.... I go to Compucentre and they're not going to have it till tomorrow.... well I figure I'll spend a few extra bucks and goto Futureshop and guess what they don't have a either! of course they're damn web site says they have it in stock but its 24 hours to order and receive it so they make it look like they have it a day before they actually do. I'm not going to worked up over a video game, it just pisses me off when stores play these little games. EB has the game because a friend was installing it, when I called him.

well it is back to work tomorrow and I really didn't get much done, the lawyer wasn't very much help, he told me to fill out the forms and submit them and did explain a little bit at least he didn't charge me anything. he said most of these cases that need his assistance are nasty, mine is just over.

this Saturday I'm going to a place that serves until 6:00 AM anyone who knows me and who wants to join me give me a call,ICQ or email me
