Wish List

I wish I knew the answer to everything.I wish I knew what to do or say in certain situations.I wish I didn’t think so much.I wish I could accomplish something with all this thinking.

I wish I was little bit taller.I wish I was a baller.I wish I had a girl who looked good; I would call her.

Wait… that’s Skee-Lo.

I wish that was true.

I wish I would close the door on past problems.I wish I could express myself better.I wish I was more like my other friends or people I know.I wish I could make my friends happy.

I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun.I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on.I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on.I wish I was the verb ‘to trust’ and never let you down.

No… that was Pearl Jam.

… … … of course, most of that is true…

Lara Croft

After watching some video on Tomb Raider today on G4 (Video Game Channel), I have realized one thing:

Lara Croft’s tits are fake.

I mean, honestly. When she runs around, they don’t move. They just stay there… static… Who was the plastic surgeon that did that job, cus, man, he did quite a job to make them stand still like that.

The things you do on a Sunday night when you have absolutely nothing else to do. I’m a sad, sad man. 😛

Heya

Just thought I would say something since I don’t say much here. I could talk about what a great vacation I had, complain about my job (as always), and rant on about nothing in particular. I won’t. Mainly because I have to finish getting ready for work.

So, yeah.

Happy Birthday to Me…

*22*. Really. What meaning does that number have? Couple of the same digits right next to each other. One number more than 21. Yeah. 22. Whoopie-doo! Okay. So I’m a little bitter that my birthday is nothing more than a regular crapfest filled day. I really can’t complain, though. I’m the one who didn’t want anything to really happen today. A “Happy Birthday” here and there is all I asked, and that’s what I got. I just wished the day was a little more positive.

Honestly, I don’t feel like saying anything else at this point.

Remember Me?

What can I say? It’s been a while since I’d said anything in my journal. What’s kept me from doing so? Honestly, I just hadn’t been interested in saying anything lately. I know this is suppose to help me get my thoughts out, so I really need to say stuff. Be forewarned, this is going to be a little long because I do have quite a bit to say.

*Work*Work continues to be a pain in the ass. I continue to be overworked. All my time is taken up being in meetings, getting information for projects, or setting up new computers. I don’t have time to actually help out the employees with their current computer problems. So, basically, everything is breaking down while I spend all my time focusing on the future. That’s all right. We don’t need to worry about what we already have.

I did get the opportunity to Executive Director of Technology Services (the head of the department I work for). She knows of my problem. I did toss a few ideas her way, but I have to sit down with my manager to discuss a couple of the ideas further. Unfortunately, the earliest I will be able to meet with him is the 11th of March, so I will still be having problems for the next couple of weeks. Craptastic!

*Friends*My friends are doing pretty good. Stephanie is getting a couple of job opportunities, which is great. Hopefully she’ll get one of them. I wonder if she has money to spent in San Diego? Other than that, she really hasn’t been doing much. Of course, not having any money kinda of restricts you from doing so.

Had the opportunity to hang out with one of Steph’s friends, Heather. Man… she is CRAZY!! Which, of course, in my book, kicks ass. It’s really refreshing to be around someone so energetic and wacky. That’s the kind of personality I like! 😀 I hope she spends more time with the gang.

It appears Andrew is having a little bit of a financial situation, which really sucks. It really sucks to see my friends having financial burdens at such a young age. That’s why I usually take the check at dinner or something for them. To help out and be a friend. Hopefully he can get out of the hole he is in. Maybe I should give him his $25 back that he owed me.

I haven’t talked with Tracey since the night I left her apartment. She hasn’t called me. I haven’t called her. Why haven’t I called her? Well, I guess I just haven’t focused any time to do so. That doesn’t really make me a good friend.

Haven’t talked to Will lately either. We only talk online. I haven’t really been around my computer lately, so that’s the main reason why we haven’t talked. I’m talking to him right now. It’s our usual conversation that goes no where. Fun!

*Me*I guess I should say something about myself (outside of work) now. There really hasn’t been much going on in my personal life. Stephanie and I will be seeing Dave HCapelle at the Verizon Wireless Theater tomorrow night. Lewis Black was suppose to be opening for him, but his people thought it would be better that he attend a comedy festival instead. Rob again, as always. Another reason why Houston sucks. All the kick ass things pass us up.

Stephanie and I are living in the world of nostalgia lately. We have been playing old Genesis and Super Nintendo games. Nothing like living in the past. It’s all good, though. We still play PlayStation 2 stuff, but when you can’t buy any actual games, you use what you got. We need to get her some new controllers, though. The ones she has have problems. Little bit by little bit.

My car was put in the shop Monday. I’m suppose to have it back Monday, but we’ll see about that. I was going to call today, but my job kept me so busy, I didn’t have the opportunity to call and find out the status. So, I’m having to pay $28/day out of my pocket for a rental. Damn insurance company.

My birthday is next week. It’ll be #22. What’s so special about 22? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. That’s fine. I’m not expecting anything from it. If anything, I’m worried about what my friends might have planned. I’m REALLY hoping that they have nothing planned. I take that back. I hope they remember my birthday at least this year and nothing more. 😛

Our trip to San Diego is in three weeks. WOOOO!!! I honestly cannot wait to go. It is going to be an incredible trip. I know Steph has one agenda, but I just want to be able to see another beautiful city. I really want to see the sun set over the Pacific. What can I say? I enjoy things like that. When you live a very stressful life, you want things to really calm you down and make you feel relaxed.

Well, the psychologist I was recommended can’t fit me into her schedule. The earliest opening she has is the summer. That’s a LONG time from now. I don’t think that will work. I really am not sure what to do next. I don’t want to see someone I don’t know. Maybe I can get a recommendation from someone else.

I think that covers everything pretty much. Well, I’m gonna go now. Nothing really else to say. But, yeah. Okay. I’m done.

Where do we go from here?

In life, you run into many crossroads. One path will take you in one direction, while the other path takes you in another. How do you know which path to take? In some cases, you know, but most of the time, you can’t tell where it will lead you. All you can do is hope it is the right direction.

Not much in my life going on in particular other than my job being incredibly ridiculous with what they want me to do. But that’s the same story as always, so I won’t bore anyone with that.

Tonight was the surprise party for my roommate and best friend, Stephanie. It is her 21st birthday. Yep. The big 2-1. Mind you, her birthday was on Thursday, but it’s a little hard to actually have a party since most people would work the next day. For a little over a month, we’ve had been planning this and keeping quiet, which is tough to do when you live with the person you’re throwing the party for. We invited friends, family, and anyone else who has made a difference or impact on her life to help celebrate the occasion. Unfortunately, I didn’t quite know if she really enjoyed it or not. It seems she has a lot on her mind right now, from what she did tell me. I’m not sure what exactly it is that’s tearing her up inside. I really hope everything is okay.

“Grow up and be a man, dammit.”

Many say you learn from your mistakes. If that is true, why do people make the same mistakes over and over?

This weekend, I did what I usually do in a situation where I’m uncomfortable and afraid of the outcome: I ran away from the problem. I couldn’t tell you exactly how many times I’ve done this, but it’s enough to make me look like a wuss who is too afraid of life and its actions.

What I did this weekend was a cowardly and selfish act. In the end, all I did was end up hurting other people; most importantly, my best friend. Since last night, it’s been bothering me that I didn’t step up and actually talk to her one-on-one (always go with your first instinct).

I’m sure there are other people who are angry at me, or even downright pissed. I don’t blame them.

So, what happened to moving out for a week? Well, I’d explain here, but before I say anything, there’s someone I need to talk to about it.

You learn from your mistakes.
