After griping about not having the urge to write lately, I really should have kicked myself in the teeth to keep from uttering further foolish things. Haven't I learned yet to tempt Murphy (Murphy's Law)? Does Lady Luck have me on a hit list? Read on ( Read more... )

I haven't felt the urge to write lately. I don't know why :(.

In a little under a month I'm going to go see a friend. I haven't seen this friend in eleven years. I'm not sure what I'm going to say, how I'll tell him what my life is like now, or even if I'll say anything. I don't know if I'm going to see him alone, or with someone else. I don't know if I'm going to yell at him, say that I was sorry I wasn' ( Read more... )

So the work/sleep routine has been a hard one to break. I haven't posted in awhile because, honestly, I'm not sure there's much I could have said that would have interested anyone. No, I'm not looking for pity...it's just a fact. I don't lead the most exciting life ( Read more... )

So after updating my myspace layout, I noticed something: when did it go from being about the quality of the music to being eye candy? I posted a Warrant video and a Toto video on there, and between the two the Toto vid's a far better song...and yet they won't win any beauty contests. Why can't we go back to those days? You know, when music was ( Read more... )

Audio woes: The other night, the subwoofer in the gashog (which has been acting up for a few weeks now) finally gave up the ghost and died. Nothing says frustration quite like grooving to some Rammstein and then having it go completely bass-less on you. After fretting about it for a night-not helped when a co-worker mentioned that if the amp ( Read more... )

Goodbye voice. Hello, Mucinex.

So last night was...interesting.  Things were fairly quiet until around 2:15 am, when a call went out that we had a couple of guys fighting.  Naturally this meant business for me, so I shook myself awake and got everything ready for when they came in.  The first guy brought in was a scrawny little punk, but he was quiet and cooperative.  While ( Read more... )

Dad's birthday ended up being a success. The rifle project was enough to bring a few sentimental tears to his eyes, and he sounded a little choked up when I left. I'll mark this one down as a good birthday. Also, the folks' computer crapped out on them over the weekend, so I've had the pleasure of reinstalling Windows XP for them. This has been ( Read more... )

In my quest for a decent amount of sleep, I've resorted to a white noise generator. Some models I've looked into play nature sounds, which aren't very effective when combined with the sound of traffic going by. The model I finally settled on uses an internal fan to create a rushing air sound. I had it on while reading earlier, and found myself ( Read more... )
