Man video games turn the mood around
I was in a bad mood earlier today. I weighed myself this morning and my damnable scale said I weighed 218. I'm 6'3" and extremely active; I run at least eight miles a week, I bike for an hour a day, I lift three days a week, and I do 35 minutes of Pilates four days a week, so I mean that isn't even close to being overweight, and I'm sure that a ( Read more... ) -
Trip Report: Otakon
Today I went to my first convention ever. Otakon. I went with my sister who has requested I leave her out of this entry as much as possible. I told her I'm putting my trip on the internet and she said "please don't mention me, I don't want you talking about me on the internet." Apparently she thinks people actually read the shit I write. Ha-ha ( Read more... ) -
pile of words that I built with these two hands
My stomach is turning like crazy. Mad crazy. I went out for "Nuclear Hotwings" with Birk earlier tonight, and it was a good batch. A good batch means that every wing is drenched in ultra-hot sauce, and that every wing is plump and juicy. I feel like I ate a bowl of dynamite or something because my bowels are all "why did you do this to us you ( Read more... ) -
anyone got job?
Its been a long run at my current job, I've been working there since June 1st, 2004, but the time has come to move on. I have a lot of payments to make to places and people, and I'm just not making enough. I started at $7 an hour and in three years, I've gotten two raises bringing it up to $7.75. I need to be making like $9 an hour at the least ( Read more... ) -

Check me out I'm bored as hell!
I don't have anything interesting to post about right now, but I do have something to show. A couple of you all are on facebook, I'm sure, and probably have heard of the new "Graffiti" feature on there, where you can draw a picture on someone's wall with your mouse and a small palette of colors. Ok well I decided it is a great time-killer. I ( Read more... ) -
I'm kinda a dick
Last summer at my camera store, it was "70s Day," and my manager at the time decided to dress like some mook from the 70s. No big deal, except he decided to take pictures. He made prints of them, and hid them in the store. Needless to say, that was a bad idea. My friend Birk and I found these pictures after our new manager rearranged the store ( Read more... ) -
oh hey internet
I forgot to update, my bad. I have to remind myself to use this dang journal from time to time. I guess on some level I view updating as work since it involves typing and stringing together thoughts all up in my head. I've been using my free time to play Battlefield 2142, lately. That requires absolutely zero thought at all. I love thinking as ( Read more... ) -
am I in a Will Ferrell movie or something?
That's what I thought earlier today when I went into Safeway to get some soup for lunch. I rounded a corner to go into the soup aisle, and KA-POW! Right there, immediately after I wind around the bend, is an Asian version of the hunchback from "300" making out with his doughty dwarfish girlfriend that resembled Gimli from Lord of the Rings. They ( Read more... )
