One Hundred Push-Ups!
I was talking with my friend Mike and he mentioned this website hundredpushups.com. He has already started week 2 so I decided to give it a try, as well as, run around my neighborhood a few days out of the week.
It’s safe to say I’m trying to lose the gut.
I did my initial test two nights ago and ended up completing 25 consecutive push-ups. I was pretty proud of that number, I didn’t think I could do that many. I’ll be honest though, on the last 5 push-ups I was shaking so much.
The next day (yesterday) I was incredibly sore. Even though I was sore, after work I ran two laps around my neighborhood with my dog. Once I got back home, drank some water and took a few minutes to rest up I started my push-ups for day 1. I had to complete 10 push-ups, wait a minute, 10 push-ups, wait a minute, 8 push-ups, wait a minute, 6 push-ups, wait a minute, then after all that I had to complete as many push-ups as I possibly could.
I almost died. The last 6 were pretty gruesome but the next 10 I completed after that for my max were excruciating, but I did it!
I’ll give my body a day or two off and start day 2 sometime this weekend. I’ll try to keep you guys posted on my progress. You should do it as well and let me know!
Quick Update
If you haven’t noticed I have OCD really bad and changed up the website about 8 times in 3 days. It looks like I’m happy (for now).
I have updated the following items; top image, navigational menu, left column background, and I have taken new pictures of all items under portfolio. Take a look around and let me know if you find some errors!
Twitter What?
Does anyone out there actually use Twitter? I mean, I barely even get a thank you for grocery shopping at kroger as it is.
Okay, so for those of you who do not know what Twitter is, it’s a website that lets you post what you’re doing. Once your “status update” is posted it’s sent to everyone else who has Twitter and even emailed and text messaged to people’s phones.
Answer this for me…
WHY NOT CALL THEM OR TEXT MESSAGE THEM ANYWAY?!
Who cares if you’re “Eating dinner!”, “Thinking about throwing away that old baggy t-shirt from that team building exercise.”, or “Typing hello to a random person on AOL!” I don’t care about those things. It’s like putting an away message on your life.
DEAR EVERYONE,
STOP EMBARRASSING ME.
THANKS,
ME.
PS- I updated the site a little bit today, look up!
Business Is Blooming.
My apologies go out to my friend Mike for not posting enough lately, even though I know he was only mocking me. Mike didn’t update his blog for about a month and I had to make fun of him for it. I guess I’m a bigger dork than I thought.
Well, the reason for not updating has been mostly due to all the freelance work I’ve been getting. Something has to be in the air, other than pollen. I’ve talked to a few other people and they have also said they’re getting tons of extra business lately. It’s definitely a good thing though, I need the extra cash and I like to stay busy so it’s a win-win.
I’m currently designing a website for Endure Equity Advisors, LLC so be on the look out for that. I recently designed their company logo, which can be viewed here. I also designed their business card, but this hasn’t made it to my portfolio yet. I’m also working on a website design for Reinventing Profits, LLC.
Other than those designs, I have also created about 2 or 3 mock-designs (as I like to call them) of random websites and other things. This lets me have some designs on file that I can pull out if someone wants a website in the future. It saves me time and work, since I’ve already made it.
Oh and be on the lookout for some more illustrations. I took that section of the site down since my friend Jonathan Brooks did all the old illustrations here. Since this site is just me now though, I thought they wouldn’t fit so I took them down. It’s a little ironic though, I take that section down and then I start getting into illustrations and what not myself. That’s mostly due to all the inspiration I get from my friend Chris Sandlin, you can check out all of his work on this website SOCKMONKEE.
SITE UPDATE: I finally updated the FLICKR image plug-in on the about page. It pulls the most recently added images from my flickr account and puts them on my website, so be sure to check that out often. I’ll probably be taking more pictures now that I have a phone that works.
Okay Mike, was this one long enough for ya? LOL.
I'm Such A Good Follower.
I was sitting around this weekend looking at my Razr phone and watching it tell me to “Insert SIM Card” over and over, I realized I needed a new phone. It got to the point where I’d close the flip phone and the pressure of closing it would make the phone say “Insert SIM Card.” It was driving me crazy. This phone was handed down to me from a friend and with our combined usage it probably lasted about 4 years. I hear from current and previous Razr owners that if my phone lasted this long I deserve a medal.
Anyway, yesterday I woke up and went to the At&t Wireless dealer in Mt. Zion. After walking around for 15 minutes I realized I was supposed to fill out a sign-in sheet. Then about 20 minutes later they called my name. After the wait I got my phone, paid for it, and was out of there in 5 minutes. It only took about 30 minutes to get to that point.
After waiting for the phone to charge up for 2 hours or so… I activated it and began setting up all of my contacts. I used Address Book on my Mac to sync all of my contacts thanks to a good tip from a friend of mine and I used Garageband / iTunes to make a ringtone. I still haven’t made or found a decent wallpaper yet for it. Anyone have any recommendations?
Let me know!
Merch Of The Conchords
I noticed today that the “Eat. Sleep. Folk.” Flight Of The Conchords t-shirt was finally reprinted by HBO. I’ve been wanting this shirt since the beginning of last season but it sold out so fast. I didn’t wait this time, I ordered the above as soon as I got home from work.
I’m so pumped, I think I’m going to put the poster in my bathroom and I’ll probably wear the t-shirt every single day of my life. I guess I should have bought more than one shirt. Oops.
Check out the video below if you don’t know anything about these guys and then slap yourself in the face for living under a rock.
Flight Of The Conchords – Business Time
Capital One: NO HASSLE!
I received a call from Capital One last week because my payment was 13 days late. For the record, this was actually my fault. I didn’t change my address when I moved and apparently the post office ate it. Anyway, I paid my bill, the embarrassing late fee, and thought I was done with it.
I received a similar call from Capital One a few days later stating that my payment was 15 days late. I first explained to the guy exactly what happened and he basically had no clue what to do. I swear it must have been his first day talking on a telephone. It was amazing, annoying, and hilarious all at the same time. He then begins to tell me that he needs me to fax him a copy of my bank statement. WHAT?! Who does that? That’s my personal banking information, casually labeled “My eyes only.” I told him no and for him to correct this issue because the payment has clearly exited my bank account.
After about 10 minutes of “Ummmms…”, “Ahhh…”, and “Humphs..” he came up with the idea that it was because it was Good Friday and the payment must have not cleared on his end. I asked to speak with a supervisor and/or manager and he assured me that they would only repeat what he has already told me. So I said, I’d feel a lot more comfortable with the situation if I heard it from them instead of you. He then put me on hold for 30 seconds only to come back to say they were “busy”. I then instructed him to call me back on Monday.
Hello Monday! I received a call from Capital One around 3pm or so and this time it was a woman. All-in-all I explained to her exactly what happened and what I’ve been through. She then asks me to tell her the account number that’s showing up in my bank statement. I do and then we figured out the payment went to a “…56….” instead of a “…65…” and boom, problem solved. The lady also removed my late fee and told me sorry about 100 times.
I love the fact that every problem we have with companies are completely based on the person you are talking to on the phone. This woman got me taken care of in about one minute and removed the fee like it was nothing.
It’s safe to say I will paying this off as soon as I can (to account “…65…”) and then canceling the account forever.
I Need This...
I am exhausted. I know I say that too much, but what can you do?
Last night I went over to my friend Matt’s house, his band “Red Sea Division” had just recently lost their guitarist and they were looking for another one. I asked them about a week or two earlier if they needed another guitarist and the response at that time was no, but I guess this worked out in my favor. Three guitar players would have been way too many anyway.
I grabbed my acoustic and got over there around 7pm. Jason Perez started showing me some of the songs and it all went real smooth. For the record the band isn’t an acoustic project, it was just easier to lug an acoustic over instead of all my other equipment. We played for about 4 hours straight, after that I was showing them some of the songs I had wrote/recorded and they enjoyed them quite a bit.
I’m pretty excited about this though, we’re practicing with full equipment on Sunday so I’ll probably post another update so I can rub it in your face of how happy I am.
In the meantime, I really need some sleep. We’re supposed to play hockey tonight at 9pm and I got home last night at 2am. I can barely keep my eyes open, wish me luck!
FLIGHT Of The Living Dead
I’m currently watching this movie as I write this and I have to say this movie is hilariously great.
The movie basically starts out with all the passengers already on the plane in mid-flight. It’s your typical back story though, some scientist basically creates a string of a virus that eventually mutates into a zombie virus thing. Anyway they’re transporting a passenger in the cargo deck with this virus inside a contamination unit. The plane flies directly into a huge storm which causes a lot of turbulence and because of the turbulence the unit accidentally breaks open.
— INSERT ZOMBIE OUTBREAK HERE —
The movie explodes with crazy gore and hot zombie action from here on out. My favorite character in the movie was Frank, a convict on his way to a trial in Paris. He’s actually attached to a police officer named Bennett. Frank is extremely sarcastic, witty, and sooo freaking funny (to me at least).
This movie actually doesn’t need too much explanation, it’s just a ton of zombies on a plan. There’s a cop, a TSA agent, and a professional golfer that take out the most zombies. The government has ordered the air force to take out the plane to stop the spread of this virus and the plane must try to contact them to let them know they’re still alive. Will they contact them in time or will they be blow out of the sky? I guess you’ll have to watch the movie for that!!
Overall though, I expected this movie to be extremely low-budget but it was anything but. Even the acting was pretty good and the story wasn’t boring. I also never seen a zombie get killed with an umbrella through the head before! If you’re in a goofy mood and you love zombie movies, go rent/buy/download/borrow/find/search/etc… this movie!
Tales From The Darkside
I absolutely love this show. I woke up late for work today because my alarm clock mysteriously didn’t work. I guess it’s about time to invest in a new one. Anyway, while I was working the TV spent the day on the Sci-Fi channel and about 8 episodes came on this afternoon.
Here are my favorites:

Bigalow’s Last Smoke
Season: 01, Episode: 22
Writer(s): Michael McDowell
First Aired: 06/09/1985
Mr. Bigalow, a lifelong cigarette smoker, wakes up to find that his windows have bars on them and his door is sealed shut. A mysterious figure appears on Bigalow’s television, informing him that he will quit smoking. Bigalow scoffs at this notion and reaches for a morning cigarette. As soon as he lights up, a deafening alarm sounds, demanding that he extinguish the cigarette immediately. Bigalow is subjected to various endurance tests and is further tempted to smoke when thousands of cigarettes materialize in the room, only to disappear. After being driven to the edge of sanity, he wakes up to find that he no longer has a desire to smoke. Believing that the whole ordeal was a dream, Biaglow reaches for a cup of coffee, at which time the mysterious figure reappears on the television screen, insisting that Bigalow now work on his caffeine addiction.
I tried to find a few pictures but this show was made in the early 80’s so you can imagine what the quality looked like!
Wendy's Stole A Piece Of My Heart
I’m not sure if I’m the only one who doesn’t know about this or not, but Wendy’s took their onion rings off of the menu! I’m so upset by this, it’s ridiculous!
I WANT MY ONION RINGS!!!
I Hate Painting...
Yesterday I finally finished my bathroom. For those of you who don’t know, I started painting it lime green like my bedroom but then eventually thought that was way too green. So instead I stopped halfway through painting it and waited until I bought a different color of paint.
I went to Home Depot around 12pm and got some dark grey paint; after a few breaks, dinner, and feeding the dog, I finished around midnight. I’m pretty happy with the way the color turned out, it reminds me of how the bathroom should look inside of a music venue.
See below for yourself! Oh and click on the pictures to make them bigger
I’m exhausted and I never want to see a paint brush again. If you have paint brushes, can you please burn them for me and then send me the pictures? That might actually make my day!
"Kind Of New" Designs?
I just spent about an hour or two digging through an old hard drive of mine and I found a bunch of designs that I created a few years ago. I picked out a few of the ones I liked and added them to the site!
Head on over to the portfolio page to view all the new material! I think I added 2 print designs and 6 web designs. Who knows though, I’m not that good at counting.
Anyway, check em out!
I Need Sleep!
Wow, I’ve been updating the site all day and I think I’m pretty happy with everything. I’m so exhausted though, I need a nap.
Here’s a few of the updates:
- Updated Textpattern from 4.0.3 to 4.0.6 (I know, where have I been!)
- Replaced the home page with my blog, figured it’s more useful.
- Added Simplepie to import my Last.fm RSS/XML feed.
- Added a new Biography on the About page.
- Changed the comment system!
Other than the complete re-design I think that’s all!
I can’t wait to get home tonight, get some rest, play some hockey at 7pm, and hopefully make it home in time to watch LOST before I go to sleep on the DVR. There’s nothing better than some quality TV, commercial free!
New Layout
Okay, so I basically spent all day redesigning this site. I figured v3 lasted long enough and I couldn’t look at it anymore.
To be completely honest, I don’t even want to update the site, especially after all that work! But, I figured what the heck, I shouldn’t stop now!
So take a look around and let me know in the comments below if you like it or if you find some bugs! Go bug hunting! Do it! I need it!
Oh and why does Chick-Fil-A dump so much salt on their french fries!? I mean, geeez it ruined the whole experience for me. Now I think I’m about to have a stroke. UGH.
I’m going to watch some X-Files, you kids have fun!
UPDATE: I know the comments look awful, I’ll fix it tomorrow. I’M LAZY!
The Kids Are NOT Alright.
This happened to me last Thursday, sorry I’ve just been way to lazy to post. It happens.
I was leaving my house Thursday morning around 8am. On the way to work I go through all my daily routines like; I open the garage door, I get in my car, I turn my car on, and then I slowly back down my driveway. Typical everyday stuff here.
Well today was different, once I got to the end of my driveway I looked left and right to make sure there were no cars coming. Since I did not see any cars I proceeded to back out. After I did this I hear the voice of a kid start screaming at me out of nowhere. I looked in my rear view mirror and sure enough, there he was, freaking out.
Apparently he was walking to the bus stop in the middle of the road and didn’t move out of the way when he.. 1. Heard my garage door open, 2. Saw my garage door open, 3. Heard my car start up, 4. See my car pull down the driveway, and 5. See my car come inches away from his body.
The best part was, he was cussing me out because he didn’t move out of the way. My neighborhood has sidewalks and they’re easily used, but I guess that must have been a little too difficult for him.
All in all it was a pretty eventful morning and the events gave me a little something to laugh about when I got to work.
Thrashers Deal.
Okay, so everyone knows yesterday was the NHL’s trade deadline and our GM Don Waddell had to trade Marian Hossa due to the fact that he was leaving this town anyway. If Hossa wasn’t traded yesterday then he would have left this organization with nothing in return, similar to how Marc Savard left a few years ago.
ATLANTA RECEIVED:
Colby Armstrong
Erik Christensen
Angelo Esposito
1ST Round Draft Pick
PENGUINS RECEIVED:
Marian Hossa
Pascal Dupuis
I am EXTREMELY happy with this trade. I’ve read about 1,000+ blogs in the past two days and it seems that a lot of people are with me and the other people seem absolutely retarded.
Colby Armstrong is probably one of my favorite NHL players because of his style of play. He’s fast, gritty, maybe even a little dirty, and he’s used to playing with Sid so I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t mind playing on a line with Kovy.
Erik Christensen is a shootout specialist as well as a decent centerman. We’ve needed help up the middle for a while now and this isn’t maybe the best answer, he’s better than the centers we have now so it’s an IMPROVEMENT.
Esposito is going to be a great player after a few more years of development so this is definitely a much needed building block for the future of this franchise. He was also Pittsburgh’s 1st Round Draft Pick last year.
On top of it all we get Pittsburgh’s 1st Round pick for this year, plus all the guys we’ve acquired are at least 6 ft tall, which helps us out in size.
I’m ready to run out and drop some change on a Colby Armstrong jersey. I’m seriously that excited about it. I guess we’ll all find out how it works out tomorrow night when the Thrashers take on the Islanders.
YUP.
Stress Is Not Free.
I’m confused and upset with the fact that every time something good happens to me financially, something bad happens to correct that. It’s like an evil balancing system that just seems to hate my guts.
I finally have enough money saved up to get out of debt. Then all of a sudden my teeth/jaw starts hurting. After a visit to the dentist the conclusion is, I need all my wisdom teeth (plus another tooth) removed. Okay great, this should cost roughly $500 bucks maybe? Nah, let’s try around $1,000.00. AWESOME.
I can’t win and it’s extremely discouraging.
I haven’t found one thing in life that costs as much as the dentist. I don’t understand it. It’s like you can go get a few teeth fixed or send your kids to college. What’s more important because the price is roughly the same.
UGH.
The Sound
Last night I hung out with Sondra, one of my good friends. After a few words and some Starbucks, she introduced me to some wonderful new music.
If anyone of you are reading this, please check her out.
This is typically something I wouldn’t normally listen to, but for some reason, I can’t stop. I actually played guitar to her entire record last night and the way she (or whoever writes her music) structures these songs, is amazing. Not to mention that her voice is unbelievable.
So do me a favor and check it out, let me know what you think!
New music is always a great conversation starter.
Positive Reinforcement
I have been feeling awkward at best lately. I must say I’m a little sick of the routine. Same thing, different day. At times I wish I knew more people outside of my group of friends so I would have more entertaining things to do other than drink and play rock band on a Saturday night. I mean what more can you do around town other than..
a. Go to the movies
b. Drink
c. Just hang out pointlessly, or
d. All of the above.
I’m so serious though, it’s boring. All my friends are apparently content with the activity levels of their own lives, unless they’re holding this all inside as well. I want to do new things, different things, some thing that wont bore me to death.
I still haven’t been to a comedy club, I want to go, yet I haven’t been able to get any of my friends to go with me. I’m not pathetic enough (or confident enough, depending how you look at it) to go by myself. I never been to Dave & Busters (sounds gay I know), but I mean there are things to do, they just happen to be 20 to 50 miles up the street.
I’m just sick of not doing anything, that’s all.
New Pod
So I finally broke down and bought a new iPod. I got the 80GB Classic. It’s funny to think that just a year or so ago I bought the 30GB for 50 dollars more than this one. For 50 dollars less I got 50 more gigs.
Nice.
My Top 5 TV Shows Of 2007 (2007 Lists)
Sorry Mike, but I’m ripping you off along with the 10 million other blogs that you ripped off for the list idea. lol. No hard feelings!
Okay, so I’m pretty bored and I was reading Mike’s blog and decided to do this. My dog kept me up for most of the night, so I have to do something to stay awake, so here it is…
My Top 5 TV Shows Of 2007
5. K Ville
K Ville is one of those shows that most people will make fun of me for placing on this list, but for some reason I really like it. I guess it’s my guilty pleasure of TV shows this year. Anthony Anderson and Cole Hauser just have great chemistry together and the show has a few comedic moments each episode.
4. Reaper
I’m not a big fan of Kevin Smith, but I am a big fan of Kevin Smith’s work. This show is hilarious and even though I think it will eventually get boring, it never does. I also think that Tyler Labine or his character, Bert ‘Sock’ Wysocki, is a huge Jack Black rip off yet he’s so funny it doesn’t matter. Not to mention, Missy Peregrym (Andi) is hotttttttttttt.
3. Supernatural
Supernatural has been one of my favorite TV shows since day one, but Season 2 wasn’t exactly top-notch. Season 3 didn’t disappoint at all and it’s still not over, hopefully. It’s a great mix of comedy, horror, and drama yet they don’t over do it. I’ll admit that it’s cheesy sometimes, but that’s what makes it good. Also the soundtrack is amazing, playing AC/DC, Boston, Journey, etc..
2. Chuck
Chuck was almost my #1 pick, but that’s because Season 1 of FOTC ended a couple months back and it wasn’t on my mind. Anyway, I absolutely love this show. I could re-watch every episode in a weekend marathon without moving. The comedy in the show is hilarious, the chicks are incredibly hot, the action scenes are not cheesy, and even the special effects are pretty good. Don’t get me started on Morgan, Chuck’s best friend. His character is probably one of my favorite pieces of the show.
1. Flight Of The Conchords
Flight Of The Conchord’s have won a place in my heart for life, let alone this list. This show features Jermaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, a New Zealand folk comedy band duo who moves to New York to make it in the music industry. The songs are incredible and if you’re a musician, try to figure one of them out. They’re actually quite difficult to play. Watch this show, please please please watch this show.
It's Christmas??
I just can’t believe that it is already Christmas. Technically Christmas is Tuesday, but it’s close enough. I guess with this house and all these changes in my life, I haven’t been able to enjoy it. It’s safe to say I’ve been extremely busy, but that’s how it goes.
It feels like October to me though. It’s weird.
I’m ready to put up the Christmas Tree, Link loves to go underneath it and pee. lol. He’s crazy like that. I have to drag him out of it and throw him outside, that’s never fun.
I’ve watched 2 movies over the weekend already; I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry and The Invasion. I will say this, The Invasion > Chuck & Larry. Both were good movies.
I’m exhausted, I think it’s bed time.
Meet Link!
A lady at my job knew someone who had free German Shepherd / Chow puppies and needed someone to take them. There were 5 left and so I went to Covington and picked one up!
I named him LINK, from Zelda (of course).
He’s going to get his shots and a bath today, I can’t wait to get home so I can see him, lol.
Man-tastic
I woke up this morning and looked over at my alarm clock. The time was 7:06am. I set my alarm the night before to 6:35, but I was an idiot and accidentally set it to PM instead of AM. Good thing I woke up on time.
When I got to work I started looking at my hands and realized that I should receive my MAN CERTIFICATE any day now. I have cuts, bruises, blisters, and scratches everywhere. I bought a power saw last night along with; a post hole digger, nails, 4×4’s, 2×4’s, dog ears, and a few sheets of pre-made privacy fencing. Jeff and I built half of my privacy fence and it only took us 3 hours.
Today I came home and finished up the gate, hung up all my CD artwork in the office, and now I’m going to eat some supreme pizza.
MMHMM.
Stranger Than Fiction
I’m not talking about Bad Religion here. I’m actually watching the movie with Will Farrell, Dustin Hoffman, and Maggie Gyllenhaal. I watched this movie a while ago when it was in the movie theater, but I didn’t really remember a lot about it until tonight.
So I’ve basically come to the conclusion that I love this movie. Will Farrell’s character Harold Crick kind of reminds me of myself. Not the alone, no friends part, but the OCD part. Maggie Gyllenhaal is also some-what attractive in this movie. I think it might be more of her character, but I’m not complaining.
The menu’s also have a way to show lines and numbers in relation to the narrations of the author. I know, I know, cheesy but I like it.
House Photographs!
So I finally got around to taking some pictures of the house, they’re listed below by room with a before and then a few after pictures.
MY LEGS!!!
It’s 2:40am and I’m laying on the couch watching The Wicker Man in HD. The guide says horror but I’m pretty sure it should be listed under comedy. I mean.. c’mon this is ridiculous. lol.
I painted my room green today. I can’t wait to head up to Ikea and buy some furniture for it. It’s going to look amazing, I just wish paintings didn’t cost so much.
Oh and my stepbrother gave me 2 tickets to the Thrashers game tonight, second row, almost on the ice. It was amazing, to bad the game wasn’t on TV or you would have seen me. The Thrashers won 4-3 in a shootout against the Islanders.
I guess I should try to sleep now.
Goodnight.
Emergency Emergency!
I don’t think I’ve ever been this sore in my entire life, yet I keep on going. To be honest, I didn’t know my body could handle this much work without completely falling apart.
Here’s a schedule of what’s been going on:
Friday:
8am to 1130am – Work
11:30am to 12pm – Bank (Cashier’s Check)
12pm to 2pm – Closing
4pm to 6pm – Buy 10 gallons of paint and supplies
8pm to 11pm – Move over 20 boxes over to the house.
Saturday:
9am to 11am – Packed up and organized everything.
11am to 12pm – Paid my last month of rent for the apartment.
12pm to 8pm – Moved 2 14ft box trucks and 2 pick up trucks full of our stuff to the house.
8pm to 11pm – Went to Kyle’s to hang out.
12am = Sleep.
Sunday:
10am to 1030pm – Painted the living room.
11pm = Food.
Monday:
845am to 915am – 3 guys showed up to fix the drywall in the garage and I did some minor paint touch-ups.
930am to 1230pm – DirecTV
1pm to 3pm – Shampooed the carpet and unpacked all the kitchen boxes.
4pm to 7pm – Moved and setup all the living room furniture
8pm to 9pm – Watched Chuck.
9pm to 1130pm – Played Hockey.
That’s basically what I’ve done until this point. Tomorrow is also going to be a big big big paint day. Try to get 2, if not all 3, of the bedrooms done.
Ohh and I also found a big fat white cat in a closet, alive. It’s the previous owners cat, I called our Realtor and hopefully that will get taken care of soon. lol.
Goodnight!
Not A Very Good Sign.
My schedule yesterday was pretty intense, I woke up and went to work at 8am, I got out of work a bit early at 3 so I could go home a pack a bit. I packed from 4 to 8 or so, taking breaks in between, then from 9 to 11:30pm I played hockey down the street with a bunch of friends.
It’s safe to say that playing hockey might have been a bad idea. I can’t move and by move I don’t mean sore, I mean… I hurt my back and I can’t stand up. This is awful, my back has never hurt this much and it so happens that it’s 2 days before the big move. Not cool.
I’m hoping if I work from home today, take a lot of rest, borrow my roommates heating pad, and take some medicine I’ll be ready to go in no time. I hope.
Maybe I'm not that lazy.
I’ve finally added the websites I completed to this site. I guess I just got a little free time, maybe I’m not THAT lazy after all. :)
If I can think of anything else new and exciting that I’ve created in the past 3 months, I’ll add that as well. I need some new work though, especially since this house will have an office. I’ll be semi-professional and no longer working from a small, darker corner of the living room. It was so bad I couldn’t even see the TV!
More Pictures! (BTW – The images might look a little distorted in IE, but just click on them to view them at full size.)
Adding Image Plug-Ins. Woo Hoo!
Okay, so I should be asleep, but I got excited over adding a new image plug-in I found at textpattern.org. Let’s see if it works!
Here’s a picure of my house, if everything goes smooth on Friday!
I’ll probably be updating this entry a lot, hopefully not too much though.
This stuff is difficult to do without a mouse, damn laptop! At least I’m in bed, cozy and whatnot.
1 Pixel Makes All The Difference.
I hate it when I accidentally select the Photoshop Icon instead of the Internet Explorer Icon in my Quick Launch Task Bar.
Why am I using IE you ask? Oh, well my job has a web-based application that runs in IE. Why not all browsers? Don’t look at me. I’m not a programmer.
A Fresh Start.
I can not stop thinking about Friday and this house closing. I’m so ready to get everything started. To be honest, in a way it’s like starting over. It has been extremely stressful but I’m so proud of myself for this accomplishment!
In other news, I’m so sick of Thanksgiving food. Geez, I think I’ve eaten Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, and Rolls for the past 4 days straight, 3 meals a day. UGH. I’m done. I’m ready for something different, like pizza or some chicken!
I still can’t believe it’s almost Christmas, it doesn’t seem real to me because of how fast this year’s gone by. I just wish I could get everyone presents but I’m a little pressed with this house to have extra money. I won’t find out how much I can actually spend until about 2 weeks in December.
My mind is all over the place today, lets all hope the next post is a bit more interesting.
And Before I Forget...
I created two new websites, but they’re not on this site yet because I’m lazy.
Maybe one day things will change… naaaahh.

NOOOOOO!!!
After getting all dressed up for Thanksgiving dinner with the family and bringing home around 4 gigantic plates of food; Mike, Jeremy, and myself decided to go see The Mist.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY.
If you are going or thinking about going to see this movie… don’t.
That’s really all I need to say, please don’t waste your time. It’s absolutely ridiculous in almost every way possible and this is coming from a fan of the sci-fi, horror, thriller genres.
Basically what I’m saying is, if you see Stephen King in person, ever, punch him in the face and yell “THAT WAS FOR THE MIST!” then email me ASAP.
I'm Starving.
Okay so it’s 3:48pm as I’m typing this. I’m supposed to already be at my mom’s house getting ready to devour some delicious food but she called and told me dinner will be about 30 minutes late. I haven’t eaten one thing all day, I’ve been savoring the moment and it so happens that now, that moment is 30 more minutes away.
Good news is that I beat Philadelphia 10 – 0 today in NHL 08. So ummm.. TAKE THAT THANKSGIVING DINNER!!!
Starting Over.
I’m not too sure why I decided to start doing this again, but after reading John Mayer’s blog I was inspired. I’ll be honest, it probably wont last too long and maybe like one other person will read this, but oh well.
My life is rather complex right now, it has been flipped up and down for the past couple months. I’m also in the process of buying a new house. I close on Nov. 30th. I couldn’t be more excited to move in and start changing things. I’ll do my best to post pictures, because let’s face it, that’s all we want anyway.
I’m extremely distracted by the fact that the sky is falling outside. It hasn’t rained here in over 20+ days and now it pours on Thanksgiving. Mother Nature has perfect timing.
I guess this concludes my first post back, yay. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Take Care,
George
