As you may have heard, around 4pm Thursday Aug 14, the northeastern part of North America lost power, and let me tell you it was dark. Times varied with how long people were without power (some might still be out) 6-32 hours. I only had to last 8 hours with out the power, but… on that same day before the power outage, there was a gas leak at the hot water heater in my building. What that means is, there was no hot water… hmmm… So having a shower Thursday was out of the question, not that having cold showers isn’t an uncommon thing with me, but there is a line with how cold it’s going to be. My wonderful landlord, was all over the situation, had some guys in to fix the tank within two hours, but unfortunately before they had time to finish the power was out, so… the gas wasn’t able to be turned on. Yeah… I didn’t shower till Saturday. (hehehe, “eau de toilette” is cologne) Then there was internet, well… after the power came back to ME (I am the only reason it’s back on 😉 ), I did some good quality websurfing and came across a NEW webcomic, the link is added to the “Menu”. I welcome AppleGeeks to the clan, Mohammad Haque (aka:Hawk) drawing style is very close to Ian McConville from MacHall. Of course AppleGeeks has a writer too, he is Ananth Panagariya, and together they have a one two punch for a great comic. I wish I had mad skillz with a pencil… K, ahhh, laterz.

Damn cleaning day
OK, there was a TON of dust on the TV stand… Yes I’m cleaning up the place (a bit), just some dusting, moping and vacuming. The glasses are not going to be done, till later… why am I telling you this!!! Guess there isn’t much else to say, slow week as always, just made worse by the fact that I haven’t had any sleep for the past 4 days. OK, OK, I’ve had some, but if it was more then 6 hours TOTAL I would be suprised. Friday I even took a Nytol Extra Strength, and guess what happened? I’ll tell you what happened, I took it around 930pm, was feeling really tired around 11-ish, so I went to bed. Stared at the ceiling all night; 830am rolls up and turns the alarm clock on; still being tired as hell, I hit “snooze” 4 times (36 mins), then remember that I have to work at 930am, in to the shower I go; while in the shower I notice that my head is pounding, hmmmm… think it’s a headache; off to work I go; YES, YES, it’s a headache; by 2 I have my head lying on the desk and hoping that something would take my head off to relieve the pain, damn… didn’t happen. I’m not going to finish the rest, because it’s a haze, all I know is that “Desperato” was on, and it ended around 3am. Me done, you leave, or stay, no matter.
Yes there is more news!!!
Well it’s kinda late, but who cares… Not like I really enjoy the fact of waking up each morning to the dull life I live. Guess that maybe the reason why I can’t sleep much at night, but hey no problem with that, just gives me other reasons to think of other depressing things in life. There was a mix up in the schedule at work, didn’t know who was workin yesterday, I know the store was open from 12 to 5, but was never informed that I was suppost to be there all day. I do remember yelling out to Randy, saying I wasn’t working Monday. Probably all started when I told told Chi that the store was open on Monday, and he assumed that I was saying that I was working… since I’m always working… just not as much as I used to, but that’s what he told Randy on Saturday. Only thing I feel bad about what happened is that Lynda (the boss everybody likes) was upset, since she found that the store was closed around 2pm, and she opened it up to finish the day. Sorry Lynda First shift I have ever missed, hell I went in when when I was sick as a dog, almost puking before going in the mall doors, so I better not get to much grief. Baaa, fuck it all to hell, life sucks and that’s the way it’s going to stay. On a better note, got my gallery up and running. Still have two albums to put into the program, but it’s complete, so enjoy. Laterz
What to say?
First off, happy anniversary Jush and Rach to year 1, hope there are many more to come, and I’m sure there will be. Wait, THERE BETTER BE, that day was hot, and the church, geez, Hell’s furnaces would have been put to shame… Guess what I’ve been workin on, NO not the comic (even though I should), a new system to display the pics, it’s called Gallery, simple name, straight to the point, tons of sites use this program, so I’m going to hop on the band wagon, of course I was also thinking of the Exhibit Engine, it has a neat way of displaying the photos with frames and stuff, but it doesn’t have the same capiblities of Gallery. So… Gallery it is. Yeah, that’s it for now, BYE.
That’s Different?!?!
AAAhhh, Sunday has arrived… Big deal, this week was a bit different. There was three days that I worked 8 hour shifts, should make for a nice cheque. I need it, still have to pay the crooks… er… insurance, that has to be the best scam someone has ever thought up, I haven’t made a claim in 11yrs and it still goes up 200 bucks. 😐 Oh right, the NEW way of posting, hmmm… little more work then I thought, but I am working on it so give me some time and I’ll get it. The pic, guess who. THE ROCK, it’s a little project me and Mike are workin’ on, it will show it self by mid to end of the week. We were bored, and mike got his very own “Action Figure” for his B-Day (July 24, write that down), so we came to the conclusion that his figure needed some action. All for now, laters.
Posts… Logs… whatever
K, I know I said it in the last post, but now i’m sure… I WILL CHANGE THE WAY OF POSTING. Getting tired of logging in to to different things. It will happen over the next week, just need to plan things, so it might show up by next weekend.
The voices are driving me nuts
I’ve been doing some lookin around, and I think THIS posting method might change again. Even though I like this system of posting I’m thinking of intergrating my posts in with the forum, which could make things alot easier to receive comments, and just a hell of alot easier on me for updating. The new way will also have categorys for me to put logs under (humor, me, computer, etc, etc…), and it will all show on the main page (your on now), and will be somewhere in the forum. HEHEHEHE, I like learning stuff. Now just to get installed without blowing anything up.
Another Week, another blurb from me
Hi all, what’s going on, I don’t hear from anybody. As I know most of you that come to my site can read and write, and I still see no comments. Not a prob, not like there is anything interesting to comment about. There is something new… I came home from work on Sat. and my food (which was really good), and crashed on the couch for about 3 hours. Then when I woke up in a heavy sleep hazed state, I thought the apartment could use a change, so I moved the couch and chair (yes there is only one of each) to a different spot, think it looks good, looks like there is more room in here. Friday, Chi came over and brought the movie “Phone Booth” with him, great movie, have a good write-up on the forum so go check it out, even join if you want. K, I’m out… oh the pic, it going to be me in a bit
I’m looking, but…
Job Hunting sucks, when I first got out of school employers were looking for 2-3 years experience. Now there looking for 4-5 and must have some other knowledge of some kind. Alright, I can understand that other knowledge about the job that you are applying for would be a good thing. Continue reading I’m looking, but…
What’s New…
Nothing… Ever since I got the new server up and running things have been slower then usual, work is still dead so I’m only work 40 hour weeks… WHAT THE!!! It’s bad when your used to 60 hour weeks, I have no clue what to do with my time, not like I have a girlfriend to spend time with. I should start using my camera more, but that would mean I would have to venture outside in the heat. Ya, I don’t like hot weather, makes me angry when I’m sitting somewhere in teh shade and sweating for no reason, so that ends the camera ideas. I’m tired and lonely as hell. Only thing I got n my life is a fan, and it keeps me up at night. Laterz
