..for anyone that has been wondering.  A lot has been going on, but nothing at the same time.  I'm not really sure what else to say.  I have been in a perpetual state of missing phone calls and text messages until like 3 or 4am.  I'm not ignoring anyone, my phone just seems to hate me(that and I usually forget to turn the ringer back on when I get home from work).

Work is still work.  I have been given a lot of new responsibilities and such.  This is both a blessing and a curse.  I have all these new things to work on with some of the higher-ups in the city so that looks good for my review that's coming up.  On the downside, I'm still having to do all my old work which as of late has been picking up the slack of 2 coworkers that seem to drop the ball more often than not.  It's somewhat sad that the only person back here that seems is doing a damn thing is the intern.  Oh well, I would rather not bitch about work so I will leave it at that.

Outside of work, my friend tman_21 got enganged the other night, so congrats to him. 

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
- What I create will be just for you.
- It'll be done this year.
- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a story. It may be poetry. I may draw or paint or photograph something. I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you have to put this in your journal as well. We all can make stuff!

Coolest Penguin EVER

I has new phone. Hopefully this one won't suck and cause me to miss calls, voicemails and text messages like my old POS.


That is all.

Keith Olbermann's Prop 8 Special Comment: It's "About The Human Heart" (VIDEO)

A&M's Young Conservatives at it again =/

So xebra42 sent me a link to a blog entry which has to be the coolest idea for a party.  Screw getting all dressed up for Halloween.  Have a Dirty Shirty party instead.

Fuck. This. Noise.

Its been a while since I have updated, so here's a little bit in the life of yours truly.
Friday night we had plans to go to Rocky for AggieCon.  This was the ONLY portion of con I had any intention of going to, being seen at, etc.  Got home from work, played some WoW, and tossed around the idea of going to get a tattoo before the show.  Tattoo idea fell through, so Karaoke was on instead as a means of killing time until the show.  Everything was going great, I was going to have plenty of time to get to the MSC, read the rules and enjoy my alcohol induced bliss.  Unfortunately, POETS conspired to keep me there by having my waitress run off with my tab for an extended period of time.  By the time I finally paid and got out, it was just shy of midnight.  The show was good.  I enjoyed yelling at the screen, seeing people, and just hanging out.  As soon as Rocky was over the roommate and I HAD to get food as my stomach was starting to devour my spine.  Grabbed food, but didn't feel like partying any more, so we went home and called it a night.

Saturday was a very blah day, like most of the weekend.  Took care of some stuff around the house, played WoW, and was just generally a bum.  Fell asleep for a while to recharge before hitting POETS for a night cap.  It was a little crowded, but my pool game was spot on.  I haven't played that well in a long time. 

Sunday was more of the same, just no POETS.  Not a whole hell of a lot to report on that one.

Monday was a very fluid day at work.  We were slammed at times, dead at time, but never anything in between.  Came home from work and just passed the hell out from around 6-6:30 until almost 1am.  Talk about severely fucking up your sleep patterns.  I was up until sometime around 4 before finally calling it a night, and when I finally did get to bed, I forgot to set my alarm.  Luckily I was only a few minutes late to work.

Yesterday.  Work was work.  First half of the day flew by, second half didn't seem like it would ever end.  Ran home, got changed and headed over to Faith's to go see the Fightin' Texas Aggie Baseball team.  Had a lot of fun, even if we didn't stay for the whole game.  I think when we left in the bottom of the 7th it was 8-1 or something rediculous like that.

Not sure how today will turn out.  I definitely see either going to bed early or taking a nap when I get home though.  I'm just running on empty here at work.  Tomorrow I have my court date with my landlord over the disputes about the House on Cedar Run.  I feel pretty good about it, considering the how much of a douche my landlord is and how he is raping several other tenants in a similar fashion.  If not, I'm not really worried.  I guess i'm still broken and can't really worry about things that I should.

I should probably get some work done, or sneak a nap in while my bosses are all in a meeting.  G'night LJ world.

EDIT: I hit 70 on WoW on monday (=

There is a dark and foreboding place where few men dare tread, and where those who do tread speak with indecipherable accents.  A place that will rape your Christian soul and be left unquenched, sitting there silently... taunting your soul's now-swollen asshole with its maddening silence - where is your God now?!  There's no way that such a hellish, fiendish nexus of putrid rot and agony could exist!  Well, it does, and that place is none other than the continent of Australia.

Since only one person commented on the Meme, I'm forced to answer Baby Phil's question
How about what's going on in your personal life?

There really isn't a whole lot going on in my personal life. Most of my time lately has been spent in one of three places. Work, Poets, WoW. I'll try my best to do a little recap of events in the past few weeks though. A few weeks ago, I went with the roommate and Rachel up to Poets and single handedly won the trivia night. Work has been pretty crazy the passed few weeks. I have several projects I'm trying to juggle all at once, but I also have the task of helping everyone who calls because their printer won't work or they can't get their word document to format properly. I have been staying late every other day or so just to have some quiet time to get things done. It seems that about the time i get one thing finished they pile 2 more on. Normally I would really appreciate the added responsibility but at the same time it kinda sucks never being able to get caught up. In the poets realm, I haven't been hanging out there as much as I used to. I seem to go through phases. There are times when I'm there 5+ nights a week, and then there are times when I'm lucky if I make it there 1 night a week. Lately it has been option (B). I still go up there for Karaoke Night, but aside from that, haven't been up there too much.

Recently, I have noticed a serious lack of social interaction in my life.  I remember when I couldn't go a day without seeing people, now there are times when I go weeks (not counting my roommate).  I seriously need to plan a road trip to Tulsa soon.  My best friend is up there, Quinn is up there, The Hussie is up there, and for the love of God it isn't College Station.  I was hoping to go with Faith to tour the Shiner Brewery, but my boss isn't going to let me have the day off since I didn't ask far enough in advance and since I missed last friday due to being sick.  I did however at least get to hang out with Faith a little.  We grabbed one of the worst CFS's known to man at Ken Martin's Steakhouse.  After that we grabbed some beer and had a tv marathon.  All in all it was a great night.   Last night was spent working late and playing WoW.  Nothing too exciting there.

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don'tblog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me somethingI don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a postabout it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read,political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear,graphic techniques, etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can alllearn more about each other.

take the WHAT BAD BOOK ARE YOU test.


and go to mewing.net. not as good as reading a good book, but way better than a bad one.

I may be kinda out of touch with people for a while.  I need to get some things straight in my head.  I have been doing a lot of thinking and realized that I'm not a huge fan of the way things are going right now.  I'm going to take some personal time to try and get things straight in my head.

ps.  Don't worry, Faith, I'm still going to your birthday fun-ness.

Just an FYI for the people that know my best friend but don't actually talk to him.  Chris and Nikki got engaged last night.
