Really, I am not neglecting my blog; there just is not anything to say. lol. I have not been playing EverQuest much, mostly because of work and EVE Online is a lot more interesting to me. Still procrastinating working on that website I was trying to have done by now, and started working on a year ago. *shrug* I am slightly unmotivated.

Life really is not that interesting right now. I go to work, come home, maybe goof around with my website a little and play EVE for a bit. Besides that there is dinner, movies and sleep. Single life kind of blows, I am not very sociable and do not really have many (or any) friends; and it does not really bother me. The one person I actually want to be around all the time does not, and probably will not ever know it. I suck, and so does my boring life.

I’ve been trying to think of something to post about recently and nothing really comes to mind; except that I’ve been actively trying not to post anything. Life has been pretty busy around here: get up, go to work, eat dinner, play EverQuest some, go to bed … repeat. Once in a while I manage to go out shopping or out somewhere just to do stuff. At least work is going well, I think it’s really awesome and I’m really excited to be doing what I am. Not many other jobs in the world could be more satisfying that where I am now; except maybe a professional slacker / procrastinator :p though I’d get bored of not learning anything new.

A couple weeks back, maybe it’s only been a week now (the memory is horrifying enough that I try to forget xD), I somehow managed to convince myself that recording me singing and giving it to someone was a good way of finding out if they liked me. Yea, never again. ABBA was probably a bad choice anyways; bad song + my horrible singing = less friends. Oh well, I’ll live; perhaps I’ll just be single for a while. It was a bad idea from the beginning but I kinda maybe liked her and wanted to see if there was any hope; it’s a little lonely here.

There’s still one person I actually do really like but unless they say something nothing will probably happen. They’re too awesome and amazing for me to risk messing with our friendship or whatever it is we have. So if you read this; you are awesome, beautiful and I’ll always be here for you. The reason I’ve been sort of actively ignoring my blog is because I kept wanting to put something up to express how I felt and I knew there would be names involved; something is better than nothing and if you are happy then bugger all the rest, I’m happy too.

Suppose I’ll get off before I go and say something stupid or post a recording of my horrifying singing. Don’t anyone go out and play with the chains without me.

Ever since I actually started posting things that were interesting (Feb / March this year) my traffic has increased. I suppose creating a Facebook account and linking it to here probably helped some. Sadly nothing that interesting is going on right now; still haven’t heard back as to when I will be moving; though, hopefully I’ll hear something within the next week or two.

The Book of Tea is a really interesting book that I think a lot of people would benefit from. Yes, I know not a lot of people drink tea but it’s still a good read. Just make sure to have a decent dictionary handy, every few pages I run into words that I haven’t even heard of before; maybe I should just read better books. :p Should see a review of it somewhere in a couple weeks unless I get really motivated to finish coding this website that I’ve been putting off or I end up moving; then it may take a little longer.

To anyone who reads anything I ever post on here, thank you and to those who link to it or comment…you’re awesome.

These days I really need more time to get things done. So many things to do and when I really have a lot of time to sit down and do them, other things always come up that need to get done. Between school, things around the house, homework and getting some websites finished up, there’s hardly any free time left to get in some reading, and there is a lot of reading I would like to do. A month or so ago I started reading ‘Age and Guile Beat Youth, Innocence, and a Bad Haircut’ by P.J. O’Rourke and even now I’m just barely half way through it. At not quite 400 pages it’s not exactly a long book but it’s a really good book; would love to send it to Ana because I’m sure she would really enjoy it, however, my dad said something about he won’t contribute to the corruption of the youth in the U.S. If I can ever finish reading that, there’s four or five programming books sitting on my desk that have barely been touched. One on perl, c++, bash scripting; I’ve read the first chapter or so of each and can’t wait to finish them.

One way I keep thinking of to get more time in for reading would be taking the train from home up close to school. Would eliminate most of the drive and give me an hour or so sitting on the train to read…or hopefully sit. The train tends to be crowded fairly regularly and on occasion loses air conditioning / heat. Not so bad in most months, but on some days that can be a really painful hour long trip. Could always read while driving up to class but doctors have proven that reading a novel and driving is generally bad for your health.

If I can get through Age and Guile by the end of this month and plan on reading a book every two months after that, by my birthday next year I should be finished with most of the books I have now. Lets just hope that I don’t get a half dozen books between now and then; have to take a month off work and classes to just sit at home and read. :p

I made this blog, and told myself that I would post an update on it at least once a week. That seems to be working well doesn’t it; how long has it been since something new was posted…almost a month? School has been excessively time consuming, but for once I seem to be doing well. Grades are up and it seems that this round I will pass composition 1, currently I have a “c”. My knowledge of PHP is slowly growing, and while implementing OOP is fun and really lessens the code that has to be created and recreated etc. However, the PHP 5 version of OOP has caused regular bouts of excessive Mountain Dew drinking, foul language and over use of the “Delete” key. On the good side of everything, Ana and I are doing quite well. She really is an amazing person and I appreciate everything she does for me more than I could ever express in the 65,000 or so words that WordPress allows in a blog post.

So…I went and got the latest wordpress package. Impatient me did it all wrong and lost all the comments and users.  Oh well I suppose, learn for next time. Someday soon there’s hope of an actual post here but for now four school classes are really eating up a lot of time. Then there’s all the wonderful time spent with Ana instead of doing stuff for KillaNet, DigitalStorm, or school. That time is the most cherished of every day and the thing that keeps me looking forward instead of just to today. She truly is a wonderful person and life without her for me is unimaginable. In some post that should be coming here in the near future I’ll put more about the woman of my dreams. We’ll see as to when; if time arises perhaps before the end of the month.

heh, my poor blog, it’s been neglected in the spirit of passing school; which I’m not going a good job of. I love school, it’s a lot of fun and I’m learning loads, but I just can’t seem to pass. The work in class is great and most of it gets done, homework…not so much. Spent all of Thursday doing 5 weeks of math work to turn in and hopefully bring my grade up from a 44%. =\ Suppose I’ll make a proper post on here on Tuesday when I’m stuck sitting at school for 5 hours. lol Life is busy, doing what I’m not sure…I need a job =(

So yea, I finally got around to starting a blog. Been saying I was going to do this for a while, seems like it finally happened. Read it if you like probably end up just as a place for me to rant and complain about my not quite so interesting life. Comments will always be appreciated =)
