Long Weekend

Don't you just love long weekends? They are great! I don't know how long it has been since I have had a day off what was not for something bad. So, woohoo for day off that is not bad!

Saturday I went to Center Hill Lake with Leah, Melissa, and Leah's parents. We had a wonderful time! Ok the sunburn is not that wonderful, but other than that it was a great time. I got to drive a boat around for a few hours. Who knew that could be so relaxing. I guess it helps to be hanging out with people that I don't feel any pressure from and can just enjoy myself.

I don't know how to classify this as good or bad or what, but I finally got Leslie to sign the check I got for the money we had remaining in the escrow account. Best I can think, I do not believe I will have any reason I have to talk to Leslie again. She seems to be doing good. Don't guess it is as hard to get over something when you are the one who is doing the leaving. I don't know if that is true or not. I hope it helps knowing that I will not have to see her.

X-Men 3

It was good, but I think the first two were better. If you go watch it don't forget to stay after the movie until the credits are finished. You will be sad if you don't. I would say more, but I don't want to screw it up for anyone.

Always there

It always amazes me how simple it is to slip back into the darkness. A phone call, a movie, a song, a picture.

80s Tech Revisited

I thought this was pretty interesting. It is kind of cool to look back and see how far we have made it in just a few decades.

Fiction

I am sure everyone has head of The Da Vinci Code by now. I am also sure you have heard people talking bad about it. Kind of how some people are about Harry Potter. I don't get what the big deal is. They are both works of FICTION. I quote M-W: 1 a : something invented by the imagination or feigned; specifically : an invented story.

Did you see that? Fiction is something that is made up. It is an invented story. So what I want to know is why people get so upset about fiction. I could see the problem if it was not clear that something was fiction, but most of the time this stuff is clearly marked. Maybe I am missing something, if I am someone please tell me what it is.

Do we never learn?

Why do people do stupid things? Why is it that we can get so lost in whatever situation we happen to be in that we don't stop to thing about how stupid we are being? I am saying we, because this is a people thing in general and I am not talking about anything in particular.

I don't think it is just me that does things like this. It is just strange how our brains can get so focused on one that we don't care about anything else. It is bad, well a lot of the time it is bad. I can be a good thing, but more often that not it is trouble.

Wish there was a good way to guard against letting this happen when you don't want it to, but it always seems to be to late by the time you think about all the repercussions of an action.

The Weekend

I had a pretty good weekend. Sis and I left Friday after I got of work. Her tires were really bad so we were lucky to make it alive, but we did. Got suck in traffic for an hour about the time we were about 15 minutes from Granny's, but we still had fun. Then it was bed time.

Saturday drove the grandparents' Mustang around most of the day. Hung out with Dusty and Andy a little bit.

Sunday grandparents came home and spent a little bit of time with them. Good times when I could keep my brain off bad stuff.

Four Years

Well tomorrow would have been our fourth anniversary.

Here is a song that pretty much sums everything up minus the know its not my fault part.

Everything You Ever Wanted - Hawk Nelson

I walk the line
Leave it all behind
I've been waiting forever
Lets go back in time
When I could read your mind
Still I've been waiting

It took the seasons going by
To know its not my fault

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you

Its been so long
Since you've been home
I used to wait up forever
I used to say a prayer
Wishing you were there
And I'm still waiting

You told me once
You'd show up
But I fell for that
Before I fell to pieces
Then I woke up
To no one,
Just a picture of Jesus
And a house left in pieces

It took the seasons going by
To know its not my fault

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you

I wanted you
I need you
I want to believe you
I wanted you
I need you
I want to believe you

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
tried to be everything but you

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you

Third Time

Well this will be the third time I have started writing a blog. The first two sucked. It is very strange for me not to post them anyway, but whatever.

All the people that normally IM are without internet. It sucks. I missing having them there to message real fast about something stupid and get a response. This would be not pathetic part of blog number one.

Blog number two was about how to find a better life, and was pointless. At least this way you get the short version.

I do have some good news, Netflix is finally going to start shipping me Farscape again! When I finish it next will be some movies and then 24. I have heard very good things about 24, but never have seen it. I use Netflix more for TV than anything. They have a great selection it just sucks when a disc has a wait, which has never happen to me on a movie just TV stuff.

Kill Bill Vol. 2

Well I am almost two house into Kill Bill Vol. 2. So far I think Vol. 1 was better. I think Bill and the Bride are going to fight soon, so it may get better.

Oh I watched The Longest Yard last week and was telling my boss about it. Turns out that it is a remake of a movie from the 70's. It is funny when stuff like that happens because he freaks out about feeling old.

Um I was going to say something about how I have been feeling, but no need to repeat the some old crap over and over. Well nothing like Leslie calling to make me feel worse than I already did. Seems like the garbage people did not listen when I told them I did not want their service anymore. So Leslie was calling to tell me about it, wonderfulness.

Technorati

Well I am going to try out this Technorati thing. I thought about it before, but I was always to lazy. I had extra time to night so I went and dug up David's post on Technorati.

If you are interested you should check it out. It does not look ever hard using the Greasemonkey extension.

If you could hear me now...

I would be screaming.

Now I know why people end up on drugs or drunk all the time.

80!

This is my eightieth post on blogger. Does not seem like I am been gone from Modblog long enough to have that many posts here. Time flies.

We have a couch now! Everyone must come sit on it.

Drove by the house today. They have it looking pretty nice. Got flowers planted and everything. Stuff I would have like to have done, but Leslie never wanted to help me with so, I ended up having other things to do. They seem like they are living the dream that I wanted. Good for them I am glad someone is getting to do it. That may not make any since to anyone but me.

Watched Kill Bill Vol. 1 tonight. What a crazy way to end a movie!

Mom is coming up to visit this weekend! I like it when people come to visit. Makes me feel loved.

Saturday I am having lunch/dinner (whatever you call what you do when you eat at 2 in the afternoon) with my old fencing teacher and his wife. Heard from the after over two years so we got some catching up to do.

In other news I am stupid and should know better than to get up hopes up about things anymore. My brain got one little bit of questionable information and ran way to far with it. Don't ask.

Something Positive

I don't know if anyone will believe it or not, but I got a couple of nuggets of good news today.

First of all they are trying a new policy at work so starting tomorrow I get to go in at 7 and get off at 4! Never thought I would see the day when they would budge on something like that. So I get to work 5 hours, have an hour lunch and then work 3 more hours. I think it will be nice getting off an hour early.

Second thing is they are going to deliver our couch tomorrow! It will be nice to have one again. Lets just hope they come though and show up.
