Wow it's been almost a year since I last posted.
Over the weekend Sandy and I enjoyed dinner at The Melting Pot. Which is a nice romantic fondue restaurant (a little expensive, but very tasty). It worked out nice she wanted the shrimp and I wanted the steak so we weren't fighting over each other's pieces.
This Friday Sandy and I will be extras in a vampire movie my friend, Joe, is doing (Plug: Man on The Run Productions) The scene will be filmed in my office and we will receive a free copy of the movie when it's done and our name in the credits. It will be our 15 seconds of fame :)
Work life is easy. I work from 7-4 listening to ESPN Radio in the morning and in the afternoon I am "watching" (listening mainly and watching when I am waiting for web sites to load) Simpsons episodes on my Nintendo DS Lite. I got something that makes it work almost exactly like an iPod Video (No cheap shots here, Sandy, sorry). I get home and I watch PTI then Countdown with Keith Olbermann then whatever else TiVo has for me while playing Xbox (Marvel vs. Capcom 2, mostly) or the DS. I am very eager for the Suns to start playing again.
Sandy and I also just recently took a trip to Vegas (again) and had a lot of fun, We saw "Ka" at the MGM Grand and were awestruck by the acrobatics. I also lost, a lot, gambling, a lot. I could tell by how I would eat breakfast while Sandy was still asleep, The first day I went to a nice buffet and by the end of our trip (5th day) I was eating in the small McDonald's clone in our hotel getting the $3.95 value meal :P We stayed at the Imperial Palace which has grown on us having a bathtub big enough for 5 people and being centrally located on the strip. Melissa and I are planning another Vegas trip (for the family) for possibly October and Sandy and I are thinking of going for Christmas again. Maybe this time we will see Paris Hilton making out with someone (other 2 times we were in Vegas on the entertainment news there was a Paris Hilton sighting a few hours after we left that hotel/casino, most recently The Mirage with Cardinals Backup QB Matt Leinhart.)
Last week I got to see my Dad, who was in town on business and staying at a hotel around the corner from my office. I got some nice quality time with him and I was proud I was able to hold my own our sports conversations (Thanks Dan Patrick and ESPN Radio) usually I am lost on all of the golf but I was able to bring new fresh stuff into the conversation. I stayed away from the "Mom" topic (and if you want to story on that you'll have to ask that's another post that might take me about 4 hours to write).
Well that's enough for now. I need my beauty rest before Sandy gets home from class. Good Night and Good Luck. |

The database at work just had a reversal of fortune (got the term from watching competitive eating)
Things with Sandy and I are great. It's been tough with her back in school because I only see her for about 2 groggy hours a weekday night. We get to do a lot on the weekends together though. (Like check out the new Soda Shop location this weekend)
Found this story funny, read it if you have ever heard of Shaq.

I was reading through my old blog when I found one of the better posts I wrote. It's about the evils of today's video games. I do have to add though that the GBA brought back a little bit of my faith in the future of gaming.

The 3 "s" words this week: Star Wars, Seinfeld, Suns. Sandy authorized the purchase. I love this woman.
Star Wars, Today, Spoiler - De Niro dies in the end.
Seinfeld, Tonight, Last time my appendix burst. This time, well..... It's hard for an appendix to burst again, right?
Suns, Game 2, Tueday. If they win the game and (hopefully) the series, I have to frame the tickets. I already have a jersey, pic, and bobblehead of Shawn Marion in my office. |

Sandy and I are doing great. Last night we watched plenty of Curb Your Enthusiasm. We ordered Pizza Hut in which I felt bad since Sandy is dieting (and doing quite well). Today she went to one of the Docs and he is forcing her to do P.T. for 3 weeks.
I found some interesting articles tonight that should be shared. CNN and the like are not covering this stuff:
Arizona Prisons are in a sad state due to illegal aliens. I posted this to the flaming liberials in azjournal. Now granted I thought I was a democrat but they are constantly contradicting themselves (i.e. Terri Schiavo can die but Death Row is bad. So a woman in a coma can die but the worst criminals in the world should be able to see old age?) and the whole immigration thing. I am no repub though since I feel the woman should have a right to choose. Anyway back to the news.
A Marine has been thrown under the bus by Bush. For what? Shooting terrorists. Defend the Defenders offical site. An interesting point was if this was done in WW2 that 2/3 of the marines in Iwo Jima would be on trial.
On a lighter note I am wondering what that speck is under theBuffalo on the new Nickel.
That's all I got tonight kids. Stay black and proud :) |

Well on a personal note I got a job interview Thursday and few more coals in the fire. I want to get out of the current job cause the boss hasn't paid me in 2 weeks and owes me almost 600 bucks.
Sandy and I are still going great.
Saturday Night I got to go to my first Arizona Rattlers game and I have to say that Arena Football is weird. My buddy and I are pretty knowledgable in the ways of the NFL and we couldn't understand some of the rules. Also, the linebackers don't wrap a player up or try and strip the ball. Sunday night Sandy and I watched Simpsons, a little of NBA all star game and Mythbusters.
I don't know if I should be more scared about this story or the fact that CNN and the like are not covering it.
There are very few sane people left in this world as evidenced here. I didn't realize what a circus I would cause but I am having little confidence in the politics and livejournal marriage. I really didn't think that 95% LJ users would throw someone under the bus. I am just tired of getting the wrong order when I get any kind of fast food and the fact that now most gov't officials have to learn spanish. Well I have been secretly boycotting places that use seemingly illegal labor (*cough* Wal-Mart, McDonalds *cough* Sonic and some Jack in the Boxes are good about it though)
I have been fighting spyware and a virus that won't go away all day today. I woke up to the computer having 42 IE windows up and over 60 processes running (I should only have 23) so I eliminated most of it. I guess I'll try and continue fixing it cause the window keeps losing focus every 2 minutes to tell me that Norton found another trojan. Have fun. |

Well a lot of stuff has happened in the past couple weeks. My birthday was Super Bowl Sunday and Sandy got me a lot of neat presents including the Vote for Pedro shirt which I am wearing now. She also allowed me to go nuts with Pizza Hut and she made me a Spongebob b-day cake.
Valentine's day eve we went to the Zoo and got our pic taken on a postcard. On V-Day I surprised her at work with roses and a heart balloon. For a gift I got her an Ant farm. I would have gotten her a ring but I went to 8 different spots and couldn't find anything that I liked.
Yesterday I went to Tucson on a job and toured Tucson Mall. I forgot how much I dislike Tucson. It feels dirty. Little freeway access. I am spoiled.
Today, I got StarFox for GameCube and did the same thing I did when I got StarFox 64 which is play it until it's beat (all like 1 hours worth for the 64 version and little over 3 for the GC) It's really fun but short. Well I am going to try and get some sleep so I can hung out with Sandy later. Have fun. |

Things with Sandy and I are going great. She is easily the best girlfriend I have ever had.
After losing all my mp3s again and some other files I am coming back. I have had a little family drama and my mom is ditching her second husband (which My sis and I saw coming from far away). I was given keys to a web site so I get to overhaul it and crap. Anyway, I am not going to make this a long post I just thought I would let the world know I am still alive. |

Things with Sandy and I are going well. Some of my old friends are convinced that I was trying to steal her from her old boyfriend but I can assure you the reader that wasn't the case . I have given many a ride to friends that were girls in exchange for fast food and gas money. She is by far the best girlfriend I have had. She drug me to this movie last week Napoleon Dynamite. I don't remember the last time I cried in the movie theater but this movie transcended being just funny. (One of the quotes from the movies was the inspiration for the title). The guy who plays Napoleon is just so hypnotizing it's great. Anyway, see it 3 times I know I will. If you have seen it Sandy is making me a Vote for Perdo shirt :)
The City of Phoenix sent me a letter saying I qualified for a job there that's worth only $40k and the supervisor is giving me a call sometime next week to meet me. If I don't get the job I am not going to hang myself I'll just continue on and get an apt with Sandy in a few weeks and just work at Target or whoever will say your hired and go to MCC.
In other news I ordered a few books from Amazon. Chariots of the Gods by Erich von Daniken and another one of his books. It's interesting so far I got a few hours ago and I after doing some errands I am only about half way through. He has the idea the ancient world was visited by an alien civilization and all the clues that were left behind by the Sumerians and some of the weird findings like batteries form the Bronze Age, cave drawings of a white woman and man with a staff in somewhat modern clothes in Southern Africa and the miles of stone carvings at Nazca. Well I am going to sleep because I can. Have fun. |

Well sorry for the little drought I have been suffering from Migraines for over a month and it's been interesting but I am drugged up and stuff now. Anyway not much news to report. I went to Minnesota for a week to visit family and while I was there I kept a post going I'll post when I get it off the laptop. Anyway, just thought I would let some of you loyal fans (all 2 of you) that I am still alive. Good night. |

I got bored over the weekend and got some highlights put into my hair and they came out almost bronzish but it looks good. My mom, sis and this new girl in my life were all in on it. The weird part was after she took me to Panda for dinner and my fortune cookie said, "Be adventuresome, Try a new look." Now I don't know if that is the day late, dollar short cookie or that I should set my hair on fire.
Other than that I have been spending most of my time with this new girl (who wanted me to keep this thing under my hat for awhile) but I think this one will work out she treats me better than anyone ever has, I have yet to see the downside. She has spent more money on me in 2 weeks than all of my other girlfriends combined. She is hot too. I would show you all proof but I don't have any webspace that I can upload pics to, I also got some good shots of the dust storm today, plus this journal needs at least a single pic of my kitten. Well that's all I have for now kids. Take it easy (also, what other quotes could I fill the top of the journal with?) |

I joined a few communities today, I figured I should to increase the traffic in here. I don't have much to say tonight though, Life has been good. I am going to Minnesota for 8 days beginning in August which is both good and bad, I'll get to see my family at the reunion but I also need to find a job. One more month of slacking and school work for me then.... |

Once again the Master has become a Student (hehe). I am back as a broke college student. I am no longer just broke anymore. I am back in school, kinda. Only Psy101 to start since there was an opening. I start tomorrow so I used this previous weekend to vacation from well my slacking that I have been doing for about 6 weeks (Wow it has been that long...). Anyway my sis went away for the weekend so I got to house sit for her again, Her hot tub ran out of gas after the first night I used it though. My kitten loved my sis's kitten and other than that I had a good relaxing weekend. Well I am going to get to sleep I got an early morning since I was unable to pick up my books for class today. Have fun. |

Well Yesterday I had this whole big funny post and I hit submit and well it died on me... My kitten is feeling a lot better and is getting a little too frisky and likes to jump on my back and hang on shirt or no. Someone who will remain nameless gave me an energy supplement a few weeks ago and I should have read the "Proprietary Blend", it contains 100mg of my sleeping drug, C8H10N4O2. or caffeine. So coupled with that and an Excedrin (another 65mg worth) plus about 38mg a can in Pepsi I have been feeling good. I know I feel better when I am off the stuff, I sleep less, I feel healthier and if I switched to Diet sodas at the same time I could drop about 10 pounds. I am weak though. Nothing goes better with a meal than a chilled Pepsi, It's The Cola. (Waits for celebrity endorsement check) Well I must try. I'll probably develop the sleeping habits of DaVinci or Martha Stewart instead that of a 70 year old woman currently (early night, early morning, and a couple interruptions). Well this is great Erowid is telling me that the lethal dose of caffine is 4 grams, That is about an 8 days worth of caffeine for me. Another source close to Erowid says that the lethal dose is about 55 ppm (parts per million, I know my chemistry to a point) but that was in lab rats. I am making a good arguement for myself to knock this out. Come on Martin, Fight the Man!
Someone asked me if I was over the whole Angie thing and I have been for a while but when you put yourself out there and get chopped off like that you have to put a band aid over the bullet hole (so to speak) and move on. Which I am reporting great progress in that area. Life is good (as I reach for another Pepsi). Good night. |

Well Mr. Moore made a great flim the broke even his own records. I am probably going to see it 2 more times in theaters because well friends and Mom want to see it again. I even gave up arena bowl tickets to go see the movie (well didn't have a choice the relatives had to come before buddies). I also have to see Spiderman 2, King Arthur, and I, Robot. I am a movie nerd though.
In other headlines, my kitten feels like she doesn't know me anymore since I haven't been home and hanging out with her in 4 days and she is running and climbing over me causing great pain. I really need to get her declawed.
Well the visit with the mom's side relatives went ok, My 2 Aunts, 1 of 2 uncles, and my 93 year old grandma came out. Lots of food was eaten and many cards were played and I get to go to a family reunion in early August and see them all again. Which is good since I haven't been to Minnesota in about 5 years. I don't have much else tonight unless you loyal readers would actually comment :) |

I got that in a fortune cookie once and it was probably the most memorable saying that has stuck with me. Or for the sports fan Gretzy always said, "I missed 100% of the shots I never took." I am in a very odd reflective mood. It's weird how life works either (now again one of my sayings that I carry around) Every time I think I have hit rock bottom someone throws me a shovel. But there seems to be a balance a little weighted but having 3 things tragic happen in your life then something wonderful, like lose job, girl and apt to find the winning lottery ticket (yea right :P) Thinking back in my life with all the missed shots I took but yet I have very few regrets I just see it as a change in direction. Many people dwell on the past or the future they don't look at their life now and (train of thought derailed). I guess what I am trying to say is that you never know what will happen or who will enter/exit your life and how it will change things. (Another sports reference: ) "That's why they play the games." - Chris Berman. Take nothing for granted there are no guarnteed victories.
Well in personal news, My kitten is sick with the normal coughing and sneezing and is on medicine. My mom and her husband will offically be Doctors of Psych Saturday and all my family from Minnesota is coming for the event. Other than that I am still shopping for part time work and CC classes and hoping that with work I can get out from under my mom's roof.
I feel like someone has taken the steering wheel of my life and spun it and I like the direction I am going. Last line I'll leave you with for the weekend: "This is your life and it is ending one moment at a time." |
