Well...

Jun 27, 2004 00:09

Not sure what is up with me the last few days, haven't really felt bad, but not felt good, numb I guess is the best description of moods....

The wifey's computer is still working well after the tech replaced the cpu/heat sink/motherboard...was that the problem? I don't know...It's working and I guess that is all I really care about. Going to try doing some tests tomorrow to see if my idea might work or not...I guess...My online mud hasn't been interesting enough lately, none of my other games really appeal to me...HP has a recall on certain notebook memory modules...saying it can cause problems with the computer...they are the same type of memory that is in both of our computers, so I think I may try to call and see if I can find any chip numbers and check our memory boards...back when I was checking all over the net for answers, that was one of the main things that kept coming up as a suspect (bad memory.)

Spent a good portion of last evening just laying in bed, not really sleepy, just didn't know what else to do...I guess...spent a lot of today in there as well...even missed a chance to visit with my nephews because of this...whatever it is. Been experiencing a bit more pain then I am use too, not really sure what is kicking that up. I did finally give my pup a bath tonight, didn't really want to, but I had been promising her most of the week to do it so she could come back to bed...If she would just get it in her head, the bathroom is outside for her, then this wouldn't be as big of a deal.

Got my 2 new songs burnt to cds and ported them over to iTunes so I could listen to them there...and even the music is kinda *blah*...maybe I just need to unplug for awhile...I don't know...Haven't had yim up much, don't even feel like talking, did step over a few times today to talk with my mom and her sister, had a couple of nice conversations.

The weather, well for Indiana the weather has been crazy...I can't remember a June like this one...I bet it has to be the coolest on record...at least for the last 30 years or more...It's been almost pleasant unless you were in direct sunlight, then it was unpleasant...read I like it cool...60-70 degrees F...and if I am doing something I like it colder...the colder the better...as a young lad growing up, dead of winter, everyone would be wearing all kinds of winter gear, me, I would go out in t-shirt and maybe a sweat jacket, blue jeans....when it got really cold I wore more, or if the parents caught me I wore more, but many give me the cooler weather...I've said I want a summer home deep in Canada...A lot of my jobs after the Navy had a lot of cold weather influence...and I loved it.

I think maybe I do know what is wrong as I sit here writing this...The other day the wifey and I was talking and the subject came up as to why I joined the Navy...and part of the story is that I missed a great opportunity to work in stage at Kings Island one summer because my Stage teacher wouldn't give me a letter of recommendation...Before you get the wrong I idea I was NOT an actor, I was a stage hand, building sets, running lights that kind of thing...I was Stage Manager 3 years during High School, while the teacher said he didn't think I was ready for that kind of thing, I think he just knew that if I was gone all summer he would have a hell of a time replacing me. How many kids give up 20+ hours a week for free during the summer? Some of it I got paid for, but the most of it was all "learning"...and while I don't regret doing it, I didn't see that I had much choice as I was not a very studious student, so I knew scholarships weren't a reality, my parents certainly couldn't have afforded it, but I know my mom would have killed herself to put me through and I wasn't about to do that, so that pretty much killed the thought of Conservationist/Park Ranger (what I had wanted to be for most of my childhood), not knowing anyone in the real world to get a job working in stage (my second love) and again no money to go for further schooling, I had a choice to make and that was my fall back was some kind of electronics, but again, you need college right...and the Navy came to school for all juniors and seniors to see what they had to offer...well immeadiately my thoughts turned to sailing the oceans, going overseas, seeing Scotland, Ireland, England, Germany and oh so many others. So that is what I did my senior year, went in, took all the tests and signed the papers so that when I completed high school I would have the summer off and then into the service I went. Now the only part of any of that that bothered me was my teacher. I had made my bed with everything else, but I think my teacher really did me wrong and I never really thought of it til the other day.

Well now I know where it is coming from, I will just have to put it behind me! I pray you all had/have a good weekend and I will try to let you know how the tests went tomorrow!
