Here's what I did all weekend.

Ignore the Jap. Character message.

My Record is 7048 Meters.

Well...Its a standard pointless posting friday for me.

I could tell you all about how Ive been offered a position being a Network Analyst here at work, and describe my internal strungle and stress that is causing me.

But instead I want to talk about bass lines...

Kyuss has some wicked bass lines, Too bad launch only has 3 videos. And none of them my favorite songs....Except Demon Cleaner...

Launch

I am sooooo tired today.

I was really tired yesterday too.

Maybe I have Mono but I think its from taking one of those 5 100 mg caffiene pills 2 days ago.

I dont think Ill be taking the other 4 unless theres a major emergency.

Sometimes, I lie in bed and wonder what Ill be thinking when its time to die.

I settled on, "I dont think Im dead yet.", as the most likely.

Ugh...I need to fix my stupid robot so it wont give out my SN.

TNkErBLl10A4: her screen name is grltalky or grltalky2
canopenno: maybe Ill make her give out your SN on every reply to every user
canopenno: since you hate me

After that I didnt get many replies.

Heres a sampling of what I do. Im alittle behind closing my stuff, but thats a week worth of what I do. Minus all the stuff I do that doesnt go into support requests.

So this could be half a weeks work.

The last I want to do is offend people. That being said hear me out.

I don't really understand how anyone can be an atheist, before I go further maybe I should discuss my own religious beliefs a bit.

-I was raised Catholic (complete with all the bells and whistles).
-I have since become a "heretic", and view myself as a non denominational Christian
-I despise all "churches" as a means for men(or women) to gain power by putting themselves between their congregations and God. I don't think anyone needs to have a "middle man" between themselves and divinity.
-I don't believe in the popular conception of Hell, rather I believe it to be a separation from God.
-I don't believe in the popular conception of Heaven either, instead I believe it to be a state of closeness to God.
-I believe in the holy trinity. But not in the conventional sense. I believe in God the Creator, I believe Jesus Christ was the human incarnation of God the creator, And I believe in the Holy Spirit but only so far as it is God the Creators power to be witnessed or vested in some individuals.
-I believe anything is possible and there is no way for me to know the mind of God.
-I believe Science and Religion are 100% compatible.
-I believe God takes an active role in all our lives if we decide to let him.
-I believe God has no gender, I don't think hes male or female but rather some kind of neutral "it".(and I only refer to him as a he for ease of conversation)
-I believe everything you need to build a relationship with the almighty is inside yourself. He gave the tools to get to know him at birth and no books, guides, or signposts are needed.(though you may find them helpful)
-I believe the bible has been corrupted by man. And while it may make for interesting reading, it is not 100%(or even 60%) infallible.

Now that being said. I don't understand atheists... I have felt God's thumb on my back, and while it is awe inspiring it is also the most frightening thing Ive ever had to face.

Now Ill admit it wasn't like I just said, "OK, God...I believe in you, now lets see some action!". More like after years of prayer and building my relationship with God he decided there was stuff I needed to do, And while I didnt want to do it, I did anyway. With the hair on my neck standing strait up and my palms sweating, a knot in my gut and an acidic taste in my mouth.

Im not a religious zealot. And I don't mean to judge anyone who isn't as sure as I am in my beliefs.

But I do think that if people don't ever seek then they will never find. And if they never find then they will miss out on some of the most amazing, gratifying and terrifying events a human can experience. And that to me seems like a real shame.

I wouldn't want anyone to miss it.

And I hope I didn't offend anyone.

AMEN

I didnt really have much to say today so Im posting a picture I took of my friend Gregg illegally burning his garbage.

Hasnt he heard about that kyoto business?

Here's something I thought you all might enjoy. Its a wizard that you put text into and it determines the authors gender by identifying key words.

Seems to be right about 3/4ths of the time.

Gender Genie

I just want to pop in and rant about how JUNKY THOSE GROCERY STORE/HALMARK GIFT BAGS ARE. (And if you are GF you better quit reading right now!)

See I was planning on getting my GF some chocolates(I got a bag of bite sized snickers and one of butterfingers, both are tied for her favorite), a nice foot softener creame, And some stuff for a mud mask facial or 2. and I stuck it in one of those bags. Along with a schedule for me to wash her feet, apply the creame, and then Ill give her a facial and if she wants she can give me one too. After that will come a nice message given by yours truely. (I didnt want to spend alot for V day like I normally do. I average about $125 most years)

BUT the $#%^ing bag broke when I was shaking it up to mix the candies together (F'n JUNK!)...

So...

Im stapling it together.

Wish me luck.

ugh.

I have too many Jobs.

I counted and I have 9 Job Roles.

Thats nine completely different skill sets.

Insane-o.

In other news I started reading the "lost" gospels of JC. So far they are pretty devoid of useful content.

Id post a link but I dont have one handy right now.

Also mother in law goes home today! 4 days ahead of schedule! AWESOME!

My soon to be mother in law is coming to stay with us for a week. Yay(note the sarcasm). Not that I dont like my mother in law its just that any houseguest staying for a week will rub me raw. Theres already 6 of us living there and to make it 7 for a week.

Youch.

Another downside is she eats through my biologics. The plus side is she wont have a problem with them.

Another downside is my GF is going to pick her up (she lives about 300 miles away) and wont return until this evening.

Of course, at this point its a bunch of speculation. I am not sure if she is going to "need" to come or not.

See, she is having some problems with turning 50 and I guess, "her life is not where she thought it would be at 50" (personally I have no expectation for my 50th birthday or how Ill be living my life at that point to avoid just such a mess).

And forgive me my kind and generous readers, but women, ANY WOMAN, will think about things to the point of despair and all around follow trains of thought considered to be absurd by the masculine individuals of our species. Its been my experience that these "thought problems" can lead to depression, spontaneous bouts of tears, Mood swings, violent behavior, irritability, insomnia, bad dreams and malaise.

And those are all pre menopause and non-menstruated realated afflictions.

I understand that PMS and menopause can make things worse but thats a whole different post entirely.(which I will never be brave enough to make)

I thank God daily that I was born a man.

Women of the world. I feel for your compulsive/obsessive/feminine thought processes.

If you can possibly, try not to worry so much!

How many toes have you ever broken?

I broke number 4 this evening. It was a glorious crunch that had me yelping in pain.

Here's a diagram of my little piggies.

xoooO Xooxx

X's are brokes, and O's are non-brokes. The pinkies go pretty easy. That big tow was the worst so far, and the one I smashed tonight...Well its just making my whole foot kinda ache.

But I am very pleased its not effecting my mobility.

Can we say Iatrophobia? Thats something I never mention on my blog.

I had a bad childhood. Some of you know. My parents are both alchies. My father, an honest to God sociopath on top of that.

It doesnt make for alot of happy memories.

But I do have at least one. You know the red glow you get out of an electrical/propane/keroscene heater? Yeah, that glow. Its the best. I love sitting in front of a heater with the lights off to this day, just basking in the red orange goodness that is artificial heat.

My GF pointed out last night she has the same good red/orange memories. Except when she burned her bunny on it. (I assumed she was talking about a stuffed animal because I replied, "I burnt my dog on it too!")

How 'bout you folks? Ever burn your stuffed animals or bask in the glow?

You know what really sux?

WHen you have a sick 8 year old but you still have to drop off your 16 year old at the high school.

I think I speeded the entire way! Then I kicked 16 year old out at the stoplight.

THen speeded home.

-Good she was still asleep-

1 carrot total. The "solitaire" part is 1/2.

Do you even spell carrot "carrot"?

The price was shameless. (outlets are the bomb)

Took the day off today to go buy wedding rings with the GF. We are going to a diamond outlet (good idea huh?). Its about 3 or 4 hours away though is the only problem.

Wish me luck.

Ive been WAY too much of a downer lately, complaining all the time and what not.

Why not have a good laugh?

"Nick Burns, the computer guy. He'll fix your computer, then he's going to make fun of you. Cause he's Nick Burns, your company computer guy."

Problems, Problems, Problems...

Why does everything need to be so complicated? Nothing is ever easy? WHY? WHY?!?!? I dont understand it.

Case in point, I am getting married on March 26. Great huh? The problem occurs because I have no best man. I was trying to get Asa but appearently uncle sam is having problems with him flying from Tokyo and only staying 3 days. So looks like hes out (he tried, thats all I can ask....). But that kinda leaves me in a desperate place. The other guy I could ask has screwed me over before (he slept with a whorish girlfriend I had about 10 years ago. She got dumped, but I guess I kept him around because she was pretty whorish and hes a dumbass so it wasnt really his fault). But I dont want him to be best man for those reasons.

And so, I guess Ill be my own best man. We should have plenty of witnesses anyway.

Plan of revenge against my neighbor ass Ive rejected:

Poisoning his dog
Sugaring his gas tank
Using a BB gun on his windows
Driving through his yard with a big ass truck
Writing nasty words in lie on his yard
Dead fish in his car
Slashing his tires
Keying his car
Smashing his gazebo with a baseball bat
Calling him in to the authorities as a child molester

I guess Ill just pray for his destruction.

That bastard.
