I am another year, another costume...

Happy Halloween all! Halloween hasn't been a big huge deal the past couple years, evening-wise, and it seems to be going that way again this year. Just another low-key night...gonna go home, have dinner w/ pop, and do some laundry, give out candy to any lil tykes that might come knockin on our door...and watch the LAKERS season opener! Woohooo!!! I guess it's not such a low-key night afterall, he he he.

Anyway, i've been so tired lately...beeb blogged about how it should be easier to get up earlier, what with the time change and all...but even before that, I've had trouble waking up early...or even on time for that matter. I think I'm like a bear...i just need to hibernate in the winter for a few straight months or something. I don't know, maybe it's because of the fact that my workout routine is all whack...i need to get regular again...

Be careful out there everyone...

I am a developing hurricane...

It's one of those times here at work where the storm's a brewin...Currently, my project hasn't officially launched yet becuase of delays from other groups. So I'm trying to get as far ahead as I can, which kinda keeps me busy...but if the delay is too long, then I'll eventually hit a point where i won't be able to do any work until the other groups come through...and the deadline is fixed, so you can imagine the tension that is building up. It's like impending stress...but I can't feel it yet, cuz it's not actually here, it's like I can see it...like a tidal wave in the distance...krikey...I'm skerred....

There have been these stupid moths at mom and pop's lately. I thought they were clothes moths at first, until I found them in this cereal dispenser mom has...i searched long and hard and I think I have discovered that they are indian meal moths.

It's time to wage war against these annoying pesky little creatures. Need to discuss strategy w/ the parentals on eliminating the vermin...victory shall be OURS!!!

Took 3rd place in that basketball tournament...I actually played well, which was a huge surprise to me, he he he. I never do really well in basketball(except in the south bay league over the summer...), but this time, I played pretty well. We lost the 1st game because we're a bunch of out of shape old guys and only had 1 sub(the other 2 guys were stuck on the freeway). We won the second game by almost 30 and the last game by about 15...i hate thinking about the whatif's...but my competitive mind makes it very hard for me to not. Don't get me wrong, I'm still happy w/ my gray shirt(I guess these tourneys all have the same colors designating place of finish, so if I wear it, they'll know what place we got...which is kinda cool), I'm just competitive like that...

Our softball team is getting better...I love it, I can't wait til we start winning games...i really really can't!

Lesson of the day
Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

I am a series of exercises...

There's so many good tv shows out there, yet I haven't watched any of them. Heroes, Lost, the Office, Studio 60, Entourage, 30 Rock, etc...For the life of me, I never seem to have to time to watch them...and even if I were to TIVO them, I don't know when I'd get the chance to actually watch them. Cic and I got into Lost a season behind and watched the whole first season DVD and had to catch up...but that would be the only show I could say I watch consistently. I want to watch these other shows though, I really do...but I'm never around to see them...I don't know how my friends do it...when I'm home I dont' know what I'm doing...I guess too much internet porn and video games...he he he.

Lots of activity planned for the weekend...basketball tourney, softball practice, softball game...wow, I'm getting tired just thinking of it. I do wish I was in better shape coming into this weekend...

Lesson of the day
A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

I am a different outcome...

These cotton socks I'm wearing today are really uncomfortable...at least I think it's my socks. It can't be my shoes...cuz I've never felt this uncomfortable...something feels like it was poking really hard at my pinky toes. Then I remembered one of the movies I like very much, "Finding Forrester." So there's a scene in that movie where some guy brings Sean Connery's character groceries and new socks. When he gets the socks, he flips them inside out and another character asks why...and he responds, "Socks are poorly engineered...the seams are on the inside...hurts the toes." So I did that to my socks and it worked! Just with these cotton socks though, cuz the seams are really thick...my other nylon/acrylic socks that i use for running and stuff, they're practically seamless. So awesome...movies can teach you so much.

Lesson of the day
Sometimes things don't happen exactly the way you want them to, but know that there is a master plan...

I am a slower step...

I was crazy busy most of the day today, until we had our second power outtage of the week...which totally killed my momentum...so now, I'm just sitting here, staring at my screen...wondering what to write about.

I got rid of the tagboard cuz that sucker has been popping out that annoying login and pw thing and i dont' even know if I have one, he he he. Looks like the one beeb found isn't all that great either...so hopefully we can find one soon.

Crashed at Jos' place last night. I haven't visited her and London and spent quality time w/ the younger sib and fam in a while, so I thought I'd stay over and hang out. I got there late, so London was already sleeping...but she did wake up at like 4AM and was crying and walked out to the living room. I thought she got scared or had a bad dream or something...so I told her to chill w/ me and she fell asleep like right away...I guess she was sleepwalking, cuz when I talked to her about it in the morning she didn't remember a thing. Kinda weird, cuz Jos used to sleepwalk too...pop would wedge a chair so that the top of the chair was underneath the doorknob, to prevent jos from walking outside, as she had done once before. I guess it was complicated and woke her up or somethin...pretty interesting, sleepwalking is hereditary.

Me and jos were chatting and catching up and we got into the conversation of how everything is a sickness nowadays...it's crazy...and the first solution they prescribe is medication, I hate that. I think in extreme cases yes, maybe medication is required, but it should never be the first thing they suggest. Medication is not made to carry us through emotions, it only suppresses them and holds them at bay for a while... People, we are made to go through emotions, we are SUPPOSED to get sad, angry, hurt...that's how we learn to deal with tough times...so frustrating...argh.

Someone used my highlighter here at work and wrote over FRESH ink...and turned the tip all black and now when I first highlight something, it's black...argh....

Man of the day
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Picasso's famed "Dream" painting turned into a nightmare for Las Vegas casino magnate Steve Wynn when he accidentally gave the multimillion dollar canvas an elbow.

Wynn had just finalized a $139 million sale to another collector of his painting, called "Le Reve" (The Dream), when he poked a finger-sized hole in the artwork while showing it to friends at his Las Vegas office a couple of weeks ago.

Dude, can you believe that? $139 million out the door, just like that...yikes. What a moron...but I can see that as something I can do...he he he. I wonder how much I could get for it and then restore it and sell it at 1/100th the price :)

Lastly, thanks beeb for comin out to watch us play last night...we lost, but it was good to see you out there again!

Lesson of the day
If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

I am a game that should've been...

Team Shockers forfeited its first game in two seasons yesterday...totally out of our control, we just didn't have enough people to start and one of our girls that were late had a family emergency. (btw - the lady that runs the thing was so nice at first and then was a total beyotch when we forfeited). Can't say it diidn't frustrate me though, even though we totally play for fun, it's hard not to let it get to me...sometimes I wish I wasn't so competitive...but we got to scrimmage and it was a lot of fun...i hit my first career home run, woohoo! Now I just really gotta work on my pitching. I really really do. But I've found a solution to our lack of players problem, so we'll be okay for the rest of the season. Good to know we can hang w/ these teams...as soon as I shore up my pitching.

This week is already shaping up to be quite an active week. Softball today, basketball tomorrow, gonna start hitting the gym again on wednesday, and then softball practice, basketball tourney, and softball game on the weekend...krikey, I better watch out...

Anyway, here's to another week! hope it goes by quickly...how sad is it that I get so excited for weekends to come and don't really appreciate the rest of the week...i should though...but it was like that back in school too...

Lesson of the day
Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

I am that green butterfly that makes you sleep...

I've been so tired at work lately...don't know why. It's always after lunch, but I get mega-sleepy, even if I don't have a big lunch, which I haven't had this week yet. I think it might just be a combination of the things I'm doin at work not really being too exciting and also that I sleep a little past midnight each night. I need more sleep, esp with all the activities I do...so here's to attempting to sleep earlier... Beeb just called and i got to go outside, and that woke me up...in an effort to not get sleepy again, I decided to blog...he he he

I went to the bank the other day...and the teller line was incredibly long. But it didn't look like it would take a long time to get served because there were like 6 bank tellers at the windows. But freakin 3 of them didn't have their window open...they were working on other stuff. That's freakin annoying man, to know they're right there and could help you if they just opened that freakin sliding window thing. There should be a solid wall there and you should only be able to see the available tellers...so no one gets irritated since they can't see the ones not doin shit.

It's taking a little getting used to living back at home home...there's not much room for my stuff, so I have to pack a lot of it into boxes and store them in the garage for a while...it'll only be for about 10 months, so there's no reason to set up anything permanent anyway...but all my clothes are in my sister's old room, and i sleep in my old room, he he he, getting ready in the morning is more of a chore than at the lb place and I have to leave earlier to get there at the same time...man, the sacrifices we make to save...

Need to work out...but not sure if I'm gonna today....argh

Opinion's are like noses, everyone has them...and some are bigger than others.

I am a dribbly nose...

HAPPY 3rd B-DAY MIKAYLA!!!! and HAPPY BELATED B-DAY JEMELIE!!!

The thing I hate most about being sick is the tiredness. I can handle the runny nose, the coughing, the sneezing, and even the headaches(to a certain degree)...but I really hate how I'm tired all the time. I fell asleep at maybe like 10 or 11 last night, on the couch...in my work clothes, and didn't wake up til like 4AM, and then I was too tired to go to my bed...so I just slept there...blah...I ended up sleeping for a total of like 8 1/2 hours...and yet I'm still tired...this is bullshit.

Another busy weekend...gonna hit up the cages tonight, go to SD tomorrow morning to do the bootcamp challenge, then head back for my niece's b-day party, and then maybe a coworker's party and if there's time...softball practice. Then church on sunday, appt at Porto's, and then our first Shockers softball game! Woohoo!! I'm tired just thinking about this weekend...

Life lately has been kinda hazy...i can't remember much...I don't know why...might have to do w/ being a little sick and a little busy and work suckin as usual.

WARNING - if have not yet watched the Lost Season Premiere...slip this...
I forgot to mention the Lost season premiere...beginning was awesome. Of course, more mystery is introduced as to who the "others" are. But my main question was what happened to that other kid that was locked up accross from Sawyer? First he's there the whole time, and they even put him back in there after he tries to escape...but then it's empty and they put Kate in there...wtf? Maybe he's a phony...but he looked pretty beat up after that failed escape...

Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.
