finally got motivated this afternoon. it feels nice to be behind the wheel of an old oldsmobile again. meet the feebles rocks. i hope to see the royal tenenbaums soon. for some reason i'm reverting back to my childhood: i like the NFL again, i want to play a lot of pickup football games, i'm playing chess again, i'm reading comics again, and i'm driving a beat-up oldsmobile. oh yeah, and sometimes my teeth hurt and i think i'm teething again.

oh yeah, you folks who haven't been to the dentist in years: GO IMMEDIATELY!!! every supper that I ate over Christmas break hurt like hell!!! granted, i think the fillings on the left side need ground down some, and that's the cause of pain when i chew over there, but the newfound painful sensitivity that i experienced is something that only time will fix. quit procrastinating- save your teeth!!!

ahh, the point-shift-click conversation outside my cube is wonderful....people discussing how a booth (that nobody will visit) is going to be "designed." ooh, i just don't like the blue, i don't think it's right...where's the easy 1-2-3? we have to have the 1-2-3 or it just won't make sense. oooh, i just love these kind of conversations...just wonderful!!

god these people sound like idiots!

sign that i ate a lot over the holiday break: i skipped breakfast and lunch yesterday, and again today, and yet i'm really not that hungry at all.

gabe, hearts and euchre are fine games too. we must play sometime! pinochle, if you've never played it, was created to be the most confusing card game ever, but once you learn it the sailing is smooth. course, i've never played bridge so maybe that's harder to learn...

ok, today has to go better than yesterday or i'm going to commit suicide. i swear, this is just getting ridiculous anymore....must find motivation!!

that they do. i apologize for such an extremely negative outburst. completely unwarranted.

on a lighter note, anyone interested in the following games, lets play sometime: pinochle, checkers, chess. like another board game, card game, let me know. i'd really love to play pinochle around here. oh yeah, and in the spring, a lot of football. like when we were kids.

if there's a candle out there somewhere, i contend that, for most, work is the bushel basket that smothers it.

it's alright, it's ok, there's something to live for...jesus told me so

*sigh* a classic line from a classic movie....


that's real cathartic huh mike?

i really really tried not to get in a negative mood coming in here today... it didn't work. heck, as soon as i hit johnstown i got a little angry because i knew i'd be coming back in here in a few days. wheee!

today was very hard getting up. drag yourself off to work and try and think *exactly* what you were going to do. but alas, it is futility, tis another day of sitting here working at trying to get up and work...weeee

it is currently 2:10 in the afternoon. there is no one in the cubes around me, it is a ghost-town around here. very interesting, i feel like jackin' up the music here to ear deafening levels and let all these folks enjoy some different music. scott had bought a "emo" collection CD as he felt it was an absurd music genre. well, he didn't enjoy it, however, i'm enjoying it immensely and have really spent many a day listening to it. This is Chaper Six of the Emo Diaries, I would like to own all of them, as i enjoy them very mooch!

and as it would be, Deep Elm records has a deal on the Diaries...all 7 for $69...but i only need 6...so i pay $59..weeeee

good morning. woke up late (been losing sleep for a week) and my house is a wreck (piled up with bags, boxes, and mail) so i decided, what's one more day off? i'll survive.

oh yeah, check out pogo.com. you can sign up and, for free, play games online (such as backgammon, chess, checkers, euchre, etc...). pretty neat.

i just caught like the last hour of a movie on HBO yesterday and must say I truly enjoyed the hell out of it. a nice little whitty movie called entropy. it has U2 appearing frequently for a director trying to make a movie and balance his emotions for a girl he loves but neglects. but it has it's poignant moments and downright hilarious ones as well.

also another one i caught on IFC that i enjoyed a big ol' bunch was Living In Oblivion, which has steve buscemi and katherine keener (who i think is one fine looking woman). steve is a director trying to finish his film, but so many problems pop up trying to film just ONE scene and he just loses his patience. this was really an entertaining piece of work.
