Journal Journal: the inevitable fade

Like everything else the phenomenon was bound to burn itself out. The sands of time and all... Try to imagine that you are sitting there, comfortable in your existence and then all of a sudden something like the Internet appears and all the hard work you have done for the last 50 years flies out the windows because some nerds with binoculars are sitting on your proverbial doortstep. Not a good way to start the morning... So now, it's almost 10 years later and you are still feeling the impacts

Journal Journal: six numbers, one more to dial

Here it is. 4 years of marriage. Today. Actually today at 2, but who the hell is counting right?
Have you ever heard some tune and were transported back in time to the spot where it was relavant? I have been listening to the live John Mayerlately. By any means he is not some young tortured genius...but then again. His audicence gives him a bad name, but I believe he's very talented. The overly produced, we're looking for a hit single album is ok, but he really does shine in a live environm

Journal Journal: and i fell right on

An so I fell right on. Into this groove. Werk, sleep, werk sleep. I have this rythym about me. I'm a dumbass white-boy so the rythym isn't perfect. It skips a few beats here and there. It shudders on occasion, but for the most part it grooves on day by day.
Just a little tick in the air. It approaches. A time when all is withering and all is cool. Evening approaches sooner and thoughts turn to other seasonal matters.
I remember that fall/winter at the dotcom. What an absolutely wonde

Journal Journal: Neverending Adventures in Geocaching

New sport. Geeks in the woods with cooltoys.

Had the best time. Took the old boss from the 7th level of hell and went to 1 of 14 radioactive sites in the state to hunt for a geocache. I had a wonderful time. Even got the new truck nice and muddy.
There were dosimeters on the tress! Going to try several of the mountain caches over the next months and while I'm down on the coast next week, going to try and find some beach caches.
I finally found a spor

Journal Journal: Refelctions on iPod

I love it. For the past 2 nights I have listened to Return of the King while laying in bed.
I see now though that I will have to come up with a better solution to listening in the truck. I think I'm going to have to shell out $300 or so on an in dash that has an aux input with RCA's. The tape adapter kinda sucks, especially on the factory head. I kinda figured that it would come to that, I just wanted to save the money, but alas, it is not to be.
I've been looking at JVC for this. They

Journal Journal: Got my 20GB iPod!

I went to the Apple store after the meeting with the consulting weasel and slapped down my $500 for the 20 gigger. I love this thing. Walked in the door to the house and plugged this bad boy. No mucking around with anything. Plug in, transfer begins. I love Apple. They just do it right.

Journal Journal: Equilibrium

This is one of the best films I have ever seen. It was extremely powerful and deep sci fi.

Journal Journal: road weary

Thursday = Inlaws in the southern part of the state.
Friday = Family in another state, with dinner in still yet another. Friday night ended with the bottom of a bottle of Glenlivet. OUCH!
Saturday = 5am wakeup and back home before 12 noon. Trip to frineds office to help with Exchange migration. Saturday night at the neighbors drinking wine and watching the guy that cheated on his wife slap another woman's ass all evening. Suburbia has a rather seedy underbelly.
Sunday = Christmas

I am right now, in the worst economy in a decade, enjoying the highest salary and best job I have had since I got out of college with a measley undergrad.


Since getting out of college, I have had 4 jobs in three years...3 by choice, 1 layoff. But the layoff doesn't really count because it happened in 99 and was the result of management being so stupid, even a green just-out-of-school-twit like myself questioned their basic business principles.


If you sell yourself short and walk around with your head up your ass feeling sorry about yourself because you are 28 and don't drive a Ferrari, you are an idiot.


Now, will I be better off than my parents? Yep. Wanna know how I know that? Because I know-not guess, not think-but know that I will. I werk my ass off and I am rewarded for it.


I spent a year at a company full of losers who thought that the only way they could ever be financially successful was to win the lottery. Hey slick, the lottery is a tax for people who are bad at math.


If you want something bad enough, and you find the right place to be in your life, you will achieve anything you want.
