“Be kind; everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle” That’s some good stuff there.

i know it's been too long. maybe this will get me back on track.jono and i hit up an annual toyota get together down in long beach. we then hit lucky baldwins where i was a big pussy and had finish my beer.on a brighter note, sunshine passed her boards!!!!!! woo hooo!!!!!i was pleasantly surprised with a 6 pack of chili beer. so cold, and yet so spicy. i think it is something everyone should

happy new year!!!! hey y'all, another year has passed by so incredibly quickly. let's all take a couple of seconds to reflect on how incredibly lucky we are to be where we're at right now. it hasn't always been easy, but we just keep on truckin'. thanks to all of you who've held me up in the past, just give me a call

i was supposed to have been leaving for china on tuesday. supposed to. but the budget got cut. stupid business world. it would be nice to be financially independent. not need to work, but just have enough to scrape by. that would be great. oh well, another day, another dollar.just to keep us on our toes, our company laid off 70 people in Md. it wouldn't be of too much concern to me, however the

went to the cemetary today. that's always a bummer. i'm attempting to be productive, but it's not going as planned. screw it, it's miller time.

yah yah yah, you've all heard it before. work is hell. what else is new. tomorrow is the anniversary of the saddest day of my life. it's been 8 years and i still hurt every day. when i think about all the little shit i used to get annoyed at and all the other inconsequential b.s.... i don't know. i just wish i thought about it a little more or did more or let him know how i felt more. i realized

2 months... okay, here's the short story version:a man goes to alaska and sees way way more nature than a kid from the ghetto should ever see.same man gets back to work and wishes the building would've burnt down in his absence.same man gets reamed by bosses.same man drinks like crazy on the 4th while doing the traditional barbeque and ghetto fireworkssame man gets new corolla.same man gets old

i'm a headin' to a weddin' this weekend. i have a feeling that all will not go so smoothly and my name will be screamed more than once. too bad it won't be in the heat of passion, just the heat of temecula. i gotta be on good behavior this weekend. i was on good behavior last weekend, by the way. i only had one beer all weekend long, and it came monday night.here's to the proposed 9/80 work

I saw a trailer for a made for tv movie with luke perry (sp?) called windfall. It seems to be about what happens when someone gets rich really fast. Like $20M, lottery. Seems like a whole buncha crap goes down with lost relatives, paternity suits, etc. I’d just hide for a while. When I finally decide to come out of my gold plated hole, I’ll start to consider how best to protect myself, those I

I was just thinking about how people (myself included) have put down hybrid cars. True, if gas mileage was your only concern, you are kidding yourself and should go by a Corolla. However, if you look at the hybrids as powertrain options, you wouldn’t care so much about the payback period. When was the last time anyone looked at the payback period for a sunroof or leather seats. Buy a hybrid for

the weekend was kick ass!!! beer combined with pizza, failure of the (former) hometown team, etc. all make for great times. sunday was a playday. the OK sister in-law came down on sunday for the nephew's bday. i'm an uncle by marriage donchaknow. this weekend looks like a mini vegas vacation. i think i'll try the sports book and blow a wad of cash.

2006-05-06T08:27:00.000-07:00

people at work think i'm "unique". i just hope that means "employable". looks like i'll be enjoying the weekend alone with the mutts. it's cool. nothing like a beer for breakfast to make the day go by faster.same story here as always, too much crap, too little time. if only someone would get off their asses and devise a way for me to get more hours into my day.corolla still lives on. damn thing

first, congrats to my good friend and his purchase of his first car. happy for you man, you got the car you've been searching for.hey, what do you know? i was right about the obscene amounts of alcohol consumed last weekend. everything was there: alcohol, women and animals. good times as always. i came out good on the bday front. i got a couple of shirts, fat pussy, and tools to screw. ha!

we lost a couple of guys in our department over the last few weeks. keeps you on your toes. depressing. on the other hand, tahoe was fun. i feel that for my next conveyance, i would like a form of forced induction. sure, the power and weight savings are nice, but i'm in it for the passing power at higher elevations. hey, this weekend looks like a lot of drinking and eating, can't wait

i'm getting lazy to think. below you will find lyrics to a song i'm going to post in my cubicle at work. it pretty much summarizes how this past week has been here.Yeah the big boss man likes to crack that whipI ain't nothin' but a number on his time card slipGave him 40 hours and a piece of my soulPuts me somewhere at the bottom of his totem poleHell, I don't even think he knows my name
