No Manual Required...Trying to figure things out one mistake at a time. 8月14日 Checking inWell, I thought I would give a post birthday post. I know it has been forever since I put anything up. I have just been working and playing golf since last time I wrote. Nothing really exciting has happened, gone drinking a few times but thats about it. Things at home are going ok. My brother is doing fine. The kitties are doing great. They enjoy destroying my carpet and play fighting each other. I did go to Albuquerque for my b-day to visit a friend. We golfed a lot this last weekend and had a poker tournament at his house. I didn't win but it was fun. So yeah, I'm 31 and nothing really exciting is happening. 4月24日 Still AliveI'm still very busy with work, so my Spaces time has become almost non-existent. Things are going pretty well. Mostly spend my time working. I have been golfing alot lately, I go to the reange to practice every weekend and play every thursday in my work's Golf league. I have gotten considerably better than last month. On my first outing with the league I broke one of my clubs and my bag so I decided to go get new equipment. So, almost $2K later, I have shiny new clubs and my game has improved. As a result of all the golf, I'm starting to get some color again. I spend a lot of time in the sun and it shows :)
This past weekend I went to the first pool party of the season. Friends were having a birthday party for their son's first b-day. It was a good time, lots of sun, lots of food, not as much drinking, since it was a kid's party but fun nonetheless. The community center in my neighborhood opened a couple of weeks ago and so I'll have regular access to the pool and hopefully the rest of me wont be all pale.
Back at home, the kitties are doing great, always getting into something and making a mess. My brother is going to be moving in to my place in a couple of days. Looking forward to it and also hoping its not like when we were kids and shared a room. I think we've grown up enough to not get annoyed at each other to the point we start fighting. 3月29日 Where does the time go?Its hard to believe I have been so busy at work lately it doesn't even give me time to stop by spaces anymore. Things have been pretty hectic but have been going well. This past weekend, a friend of mine came to town and we played some golf on saturday. I got really, really sunburnt. I kinda forgot that the sun is strong in these parts. My arms and legs are still slightly red. Don't ask about how well I did. I hadn't played in at least 2 years. I did get suckered into playing on the work golf league so I'll be playing once a week. Should be very interesting. This past weekend we did make it to the zoo on sunday, and it was a good time. Its been a while since I had gone to the Tucson zoo, its small but very well done with lots of stuff to see. The kitties are doing great and they're lots of fun to watch. In other news, I think my brother will be moving in with me so that should make it interesting. Hope everyone is doing great. 3月13日 Kitty updatesOnce again, a weekend went by with not much action. These days most of my free time is spent with the kitties. They are pretty funny when they wrestle around with each other. They try to find ways to ambush the other cat.
I find it pretty funny that they follow me around the house. If I go to the kitchen they have to g owith me. As well as following me up and down the stairs. It's as if I have ducklings :)
The part that still needs work is the nightime attacks of my feet. I don't think my feet have ever been so scratched as they are now. They go on full on attacks of my feet with intent to eat whatever is under the blanket, namely my feet. The raids have diminished, but they make up for it when they get me, as the length of the gashes has increased.
Last sunday when I was laying on the couch and one of them came up to sleep with me and I just lay there for an hour rubbing him, I realized i really missed lazing around the house with my cat. 3月5日 Recent happeningsThings have been pretty busy at work lately so most of my work day has been taken up by actual work. Aside from that, the biggest news is that I got a couple of kitties. They're about 6 months old and one is black and the other one is white with gray tabby. They're very cute and a lot of fun. I'll put up some pics when I take some good photos of them. Another event in the past couple of weeks, was that someone backed into me in the paking lot of the grocery store. It's not bad but its still a pain in the ass to get it all fixed up. 2月22日 Just another dayNothing much going on with me lately, just work and the gym. I haven't gone out to shoot with my new camera as much as I have wanted to, but now with the weather so nice I should be hitting up a few spots. I did my taxes during the weekend and I'm actually getting some money back. I'm shocked! I've had to pay for the last few years, but now that I pay a lot of interest on my house I guess I can get a little back from the govt.
I have been wanting to go back to Honduras for a while and I'm hopefully be able to in the next couple of months. I want to go before summer, and hopefully stay for a week and half. With me working from home so much and being really lazy during the weekends, I dont really feel like a need a vacation, so getting rid of all my vacation days is going to be pretty hard. I know some friends want to go to Vegas, so I should take some time for that. Hope fully I can also go there for a conference thats coming up in June :) 2月14日 Happy Flower, Candy, and Card DayOn this the most commercial of holidays, I hope everyone gets something sweet :)
I never really liked the whole Valentine's day thing. You have to buy candy or chocolate, a gift, a card, and go out to dinner or you don't love/care for the person youre with. The worst part of it is that everyone buys into it. It really gets crazy around this time, to the point where roses can cost hundreds of dollars and chocolatiers sell out, and all of the restaurants are booked. If you don't buy a gift, or even the "right" gift you will hear about it for a long time to come. It doesn't matter if you do things like buying flowers, or going for a nice dinner, or even buying a gift just because on random days. If you don't do something on the designated buying a "romantic" gift day, you are a horrible person. You can probably tell I have had bad experiences with this day, but not all of the above refer to me. Some of it has happened to guys I know. It probably happens to me because I find the day completely manufactured and superficial. It completely misses the point of love and it becomes merely a pandering to the love of things. So the moral of the story is, if you don't spend money on me you don't love me. I would like to leave you with one of my favorite lines from the greatest musicians ever, The Beatles.
"Can't buy me love!" 2月12日 Been a long time...I know its been a while since I posted, but I have been pretty busy and I was out of town last week. I was in New Orleans for a conference. I had a great time, and got things that dont usually happen to me. When I showed up at the Marriott, they were overbooked and so they upgraded me to the Ritz-Carlton a couple of blocks away. Yeah, it was awesome. It was a very luxurious hotel. Having champagne offered to you while waiting in registration. Having to use your key to go hang out in the Club Lounge where they have complimentary food, wine, and liquor. Also having a huge roman tub in the marble clad bathroom. All the complimentary toiletries were Bulgari. They had really high thread count sheets and the pillows and comforters were goose down and they had the most comfortable terrycloth robes. The whole room and bathroom were hooked up to the DVD player so you could listed to music all over the place. The very unfortumate part, is that why would you want to spend that much time at your hotel when you're in New orleans? And I didn't spend much time there :)
The hotel was in the French Quarter about two blocks away from Bourbon St. After all day sitting in session at the conference, we would spend alot of time on Bourbon. It was fun to walk up and down there going into different bars, getting drinks, and moving on to the next one. One thing I was surprised to find out, is that there were many strip clubs on Bourbon. I found it surprising because there are women flashing all over the place, why would you go and pay to see the same thing? One place I spent a lot of time at was the Bourbon Cowboy. They had a mechanical bull and lots of people wanting to try it out. Some girls would get on it topless, sometimes two at the same time. On the one occasion two girsl rode it topless together, and after they were done with that wrestled each other's pants off until they were just wearing their thongs. Needless to say, it attracted a lot of attention from the guys.
On a different night, we went to Pat O'brien's for some hurricanes, and let me tell you, that is some strong stuff. I ended up drinking two hurricanes and some other drinks and lets just say, I didn't have the greatest night ever. Another place with some really strong drinks was the Tropical Isle with their Hand grenades. Now that is one dangerous drink. It tastes like pineapple juice but has all kinds of alcohol in it. I was able to drink only one though.
Went to a couple of good places to eat too. The Acme Oyster Co. was really good. The chargrilled oysters were incredible. We also went to Cafe Beignet for some nice fresh beignets, not the healthiest food, but tasty.
After a week in New Orleans I was quite tired and it was nice to be back home.
1月22日 Let it Snow...Well, we got a little surprise yesterday here in Tucson. It snowed pretty heavily and just covered the city and there is still snow on the ground. I would never think that I would be playing in the snow out front of my house and even less that we would have a snowball fight with the neighbor's kids. Aside from that, the weekend was pretty uneventful. I did go out friday night and saturday night, so that was a big change from before. On friday I went out with a friend to just hangout and get out of the house. We went to have some dinner, had a few drinks, played pool, and a bar video game that ended up being extremely addictive. Saturday night I went to dinner with some friends and afterwards to a bar. Towards the end of the night, a girl approached me and she proceeded to tell me that she was from Puerto Rico and that she was an exchange student. I then proceeded to speak to her in spanish, and then she replied that she didn't understand what I was saying. I would like to know why anyone would make up something that they would not be able to back up. I mean if youre gonna make up a story, make one you can convincingly manage. 1月15日 Where does the time go?Yeah I know, I've been gone for a while. Nothing really exciting has been happening in my life lately. Work has actually been pretty busy which is pretty good cause the more we sell, the more money I make. In terms of actually doing something, I have not been going out. I have been trying to stay at home so I don't go out to eat or go drinking. I have alse been hitting the gym pretty hard and seeing some pretty good results. I did go out to the saguaro national park to test out my new camera and lens. It was nice to get out in the wild again and looking for some nice shots. It was pretty cold though. I'll try and do better in the future but unless I actually start doing stuff it'll probably be boring :) |
