work today was alright.....i made up my hours...worked 10:30am-9pm. only need to catch up on an hour and a half and i'll have a full 40. i was informed that it doesn't go against me working extra, but if i work under my hours it does go against me. *shrug*
also a coworker of mine informed me that she just dumped her boyfriend. (round 2)
worked closing with the other coworker that wants to hang out sometime.
i have more in common with the one that wants to hang out than the one that is single. fml, right? i told my sister via facebook to go to my work and check her out, something about the 'sister sense' will tell me if she's worth pursuing or not. should've had her use it last time.
of course now days i can't get near my sister without my mom being there and i dont like talking relationship bs/etc with my mom cause she doesn't know when to shut up sometimes. and the fact my sis NEVER answers her god damn phone or responds to my messages.
@k_k: does your woman like curling? just wondering
@edlib: get modern warfare 2
@scar: how's school going, learning anything cool?
@gunner: yoooooooooooo gunndoooogggg
@ike: are you a dentist yet, i might need fillings sometime in the future....
@keyan: you figure out what you wanna do with that old ex-girlfriend of yours yet?
but of course there are these tid bits...:
1) Java is just like C++, which is good, cus that subject was dreadfully easy.
2) that I really dont care for New Orlean's leavies failing during/after Katrina, prolly cus I was in Pensacola at the time, but I gotta write an argumentative essay on it
3) pre-calc sucks. but I gotta do it :P
Just bought: IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey. It's awesome. But that was my game purchase this month...
I still don't see getting MW2 anytime soon... even though I saw at least 6 of my Live! buddies on last night (I think that's the most I've ever seen on at once) and they were ALL playing it.
This one is super-realistic in some modes... the recoil from your machine guns causes your airspeed to drop and your nose to dip... making it difficult to line up a shot sometimes.
How much ammo and fuel you are carrying can affect the flight characteristic of the plane too. That's pretty awesome!
But you can switch that off and play in Arcade mode if you just want to zoom around shooting down bogeys...
My brother surprised me with tickets to the 8:00 "Star Wars In Concert" show @ the TD Garden as an early Xmas gift last night. If you get a chance to see it, jump on it...it's an awesome take.
****in modern warfare is greattttt
@keyan: you figure out what you wanna do with that old ex-girlfriend of yours yet?
Nothing I can do. I imagine she'll be getting married in the next few weeks, since it's been about six months since her engagement
Weird thing happened about a month ago, though. I am on a Catholic dating site. I know that the girl used the site too, as did her sister. In fact, during one of our last conversations she told me that her sister had met someone from the site (from Canada, I think?) and that he had come down to see her and that there was some big trouble, because they apparently lied to her parents about how they met or some such thing.
Anyway, you can always see who has viewed you on that site. And one day I'm looking at who has viewed me and who do I find? The sister. Well, I went to her profile and it said she was no longer looking and that she was engaged to a man she had met on that site. So I figured maybe she recognized me and clicked on my profile just to see. So I messaged her to congratulate her on her engagement, and it turned out she had no idea who I was. (Why she was browsing random Catholic singles when she is already engaged, I have no idea.) So I reminded her of some details, because according to the girl, she told her family all about me. But the sister still didn't know.
And here's the weird part...she said she'd say hi to her sister for me...but afterward she told me her sister (the girl I was involved with, if you're having trouble keeping track) didn't remember ever knowing anyone by my name. What the hell? Maybe she was talking about people she had known from that site or something, because I didn't know her from that site, but...still. I would think the name of someone who sent you poetry and roses and songs for a year and a half would kind of stick with you.
im going hiking with my friend, checking out a new spot for running. hopefully it's not crap.
@wildcard: yeah they're playing up in wilkes barre in a week or so, i passed up on a chance to go though...dont got the funds. well i would have if i hadn't bought modern warfare 2......
@R15: I got her "Curling for dummies" she has yet to see a game being played. I doubt she could get into the hack due to a injury to her leg that has tightened up her right hip flexor. But she is supportive.
@ed: I peeked because I know she wouldn't care. Heck I have slept in her bedroom at her place. She just made a point to tell me not to get her any clothing or jewlery. But yea... my lady is stacked and I like playing with her rack.
But for traveling, I might suggest Key west. That is if you can afford a rental car and the 200 mile trip from miami to the Keys. Not really sure what you want to DO on your trip.
@all
Picked her up at the airport today. She was quite tired and hungrey because she didn't get much sleep last night. We had a talk also..
The basics are I need to get my act together on some areas. We have only "dated" for 4.5 months and we both have agreed that moving in is not an option at this time.. nor likely for another 6 months.
What i need to do:
1. clear out my current debts.. around $1500.
2. Take care of my health. I have sleep apnea which leads to VERY VERY loud snoring and makes it impossible to sleep in the same bed, room, house with someone.
3. Get my arse back to school. I am thinking of doing IT-Networking. Which is a 4 year degree at most any school I have looked at. Which also means finidng the $$ for it.
and the worse two..
4. With the loss of hours at my job due to the nearby Dairy plant closing. I need to get a 2nd job for some extra income so I can pay off my rent and back rent.
5. I have to leave my wonderful apartment on the lake, and might move in with someone else so i can have the income to clear things out.
going to be a hard 7 months ahead. but it is time I grew up

I'm really looking for a non-Sunshine State destination, anyway... simply because I'll probably be going down there in the spring/ summer... once my dad is feeling better again.
A cruise around the Caribbean was also brought up... Another possibility worth considering.
Or maybe I'll just save the cash and buy a kick-ass guitar amp.
Oh, and Keyan:
It's 'Vectorworks 2010 Spotlight (w/ Renderworks)'
She's trying to change you already and you're not even living that close together? Nice
word.
decided to take a gamble and ask my sister's sister-in-law if she wants to hang out with me. via myspace.
not sure what will come of this. at least i have an answer to look forward to, and at this point i really don't care what the answer is, an answer at all would be great. even if it is a 'hell no'. i pretty much expect the 'no, i'm too busy at the moment' response, if i get a response.
my main reason for being interested in her is that she, like myself, does not want children. This is one thing i look for in a long-term relationship, as I definitely do not want to have any children. (just too lazy/poor to get snipped)
just ran 2 miles. cut my time down. 16 minutes, 56 seconds. goal to beat is 16 minutes, 36 seconds. not much farther to go. it was a little windy out there today.
She's trying to change you already and you're not even living that close together? Nice
She's trying to change me? no not even close. These are things I need to do even if I was not in a relationship.
Normally at this time of year I would be working 10-20 hours overtime. With the nearby dairy plant closure that isn't happening this year. it has seriously hurt me finacially. I am about $1000 behind on just my rent. We talked so I could figure out how to solve this problem. it is what a good strong couple does we talk. We come to an agreement. but mostly it is what i need to do before we even attempt living together.
Otherwise due to my snoring she might try to smother me with a pillow in the middle of the night so she can get to sleep

well there's always black friday....gonna see if my coworker will go with me to a few bars around here after the ****-storm at work. if she says 'no', whatever. i'll just be depressed i suppose. a bunch of new seasonal workers started this week, some half-decent girls amongst them. might have to check them out.
that bull**** aside....
parents are hogging the tv, so i can't ever get on. hating that my dad pretty much shares the same shift as me so there's no balance between when i can get on xbox live for modern warfare 2. and when i get home first thing he's on is the evony online bs, so i can't get on swg and my mom's watching some shows and ****. then my dad finishes playing and i can get on the computer, but tired by the time they go to bed so i probably won't get on the 360 tonight even though i really want to i'm so ****in tired....
found a song that makes me happy is 'jump around' by house of pain.
had an interview for a GSI spot today. (Geek Squad Installer). It's a temp spot that may or may not turn into a perminant spot, but it's in home experience that could push me ahead of others in terms of getting one since we are opening a store in Victor, NY next year.
I hope I get it........ one more holiday season in retail and I may get pushed over the brink.
"You have failed me yet again, Starscream...." Lord Megatron
got my fill of modern warfare 2. decided to watch my kill to death ratio get ****ed on hardcore mode. i like that mode alot more but the maps in the game are a pain in the ass on that mode.
still no response from brother-in-law's sis. i guess it's for the better.
i'm so ****ing bored. i should've went to bed at 11 like i was planning on, but decided since my mom was going to bed at that time to hop on mw2. now it's 3am. i wanted to go running this morning. guess i'll have to skip it. or i could stay up a few more hours and go anyway, but then i'd be sleeping in later than i want to due to being tired.
then i was also planning on going with my friend to that spot we scouted for running, but looks like it's gonna ****in rain. so what a waste of a day.
took my mom to the dentist today and then went running at the high school track. ran the 2 miles in 16 minutes, 47 seconds. only gotta cut 11 seconds to meet my minimum goal of 16:36. my main goal is to get to 15:54 before i ship. i think i did pretty good today considering i wasn't really planning on running so didn't really properly hydrate. didn't drink anything this morning. so i'm really happy with that time.
goin to kelly's for wings with some friends later today.
Survived the show. Musically, it was very good. It was a tribute to Don Was, producer of artists and bands like Bonnie Raitt, The Stones, Bob Dylan, etc... So I knew and liked most of the songs.
And he was a super nice guy.
It's just that some of the other people around him involved with the show...
Still... in the end, it went all right, and that's really all that matters.
If only the audience had any idea of all the pain and suffering that goes into getting it to that point...
found a song that makes me happy is 'jump around' by house of pain.
I am very familiar with this song since I am a wisconsin badgers game. it has become a tradition at Camp Randell stadium during Badgers homegames to play it betwean 3rd and 4th quarters. 80,000 fans jumping around in a stadium is quite awsome
Last night it was my Curling teams turn to cook for the other 12 teams. I was the only Curler on my team with any amount of cooking skill. Made pork chops. and they were very tasty.
The next 8 days look quite hectic.

Sunday: Church, Football, Curling
Monday: work and then a nap before Curling (subbing)

Thursday: Thanksgiving dinner with my lady and her *gasp* parents
Friday: Might spend more of the day with parents and avoid black friday madness
Saturday: Return to doing pen and pencil RPGs after a 8 year hiatus. playing a fighter in a Dungeons and dragons game.
