Long weekends throw me off

by on Apr.13, 2009, under Personal

I swear, they really do.  Friday night felt like Saturday, and Sunday felt like Saturday, but for completely different reasons.

Friday night I went out with my friend Grace for some food and to go see Monsters vs Aliens. But it was after a day of doing nothing, felt like a Saturday.  Sunday I did a lot during the day and got home late and again, it felt like Saturday with me wanting to sleep in today.  Mentally the weekend was a bust, but socially was fun as hell.

As mentioned Friday was going to see Monsters vs. Aliens, pretty good and a few funny moments just because they were entertaining.  Many clever play on words, sight gags were pretty good too, I totally understand why a 3D version would be great, but we were lazy and enjoyed the regular version anyway.

Saturday was spent hanging out with a friend who has recently become single due to a broken engagement. I feel for her, I really do, I thought he was a great match for her and out of all her past boyfriends he really seems up to par.  And I’ve known all her boyfriends since we started being friends 6-7 years ago. Man that’s a long time to know someone, but some friends you just always remain that way.  As I told her, we built a really solid foundation of friendship years ago and even if we don’t see each other for months at a time, when we do, it’s like we were never apart.  I’m very glad I can say I have many of those bonds with many people. Continuing on Saturday we watched some pointless hockey games and my friend Lindz and his brother came over and we played some Chez Geek.  Easily the funest and carefree card game in the world.

Sunday was a day of sleeping in due to a bottle of wine consumed the night before and then driving my friend home, she crashed here because she’s been staying with her aunt and uncle since moving out and wanted to give them a night alone.  After that was over to another friend’s house for SCBG, awesome time had by all.  

On the back of all that I’m getting sick, or feel the onset anyway.  Woke up with a sore throat on Sunday and have been lightly coughing ever since.  So either this will disappear in a week, or it’s going to be 3 to 5 weeks of hell as I get worse and then better.  At least I’ve been sick enough to know what it goes like.  And the next few weeks are going to be more non-stop things to do.  At least my life is busy, now if only I could just add a woman into it somehow…. wait, need to find one first 😛  Funny thing is that I never really felt a need to be with someone, but I think I’m just starting to get a little lonely or just seeing that everyone is getting matched up and I’m still single, could be a large number of reasons but I don’t care too much about it.  That little special someone, they’re that little extra bit that makes it great.  Not pining or whining, just stating a fact.

PS. Hair is blonde/copper, he didn’t have the stuff to do blue, I’m gonna do that later this summer.

Feeling a bit lethargic

by on Apr.08, 2009, under Personal

I don’t know why, but today is just dragging, maybe it’s because I can’t figure out why the modems I have for work aren’t reporting properly, or maybe I just didn’t get enough sleep last night or what the deal is, but right now I’m feeling very blah.  I think a coffee might be in order.  

I’m done Wednesday night volleyball for a while now, had the banquet for that last Friday and man, one of the women that play on my team, cougar, definte cougar 😛  Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind, and it was kinda fun, but she’s a married lady, or at least I found out after.  Which made my choices on friday night that much better.  I dunno what it is, but as soon as I find out that someone is taken, blinders go out and I don’t see that person in a way that could be harmful to someone else.  I’ve been the other guy before and I don’t want to do that again.  Just not fair to anyone in that siutation. Got called on my decent sense of fashion at least, as I can confidently quote, “Well look at you going all GQ like. What’s with the fancy clothes?” The funny thing is that I was just wearing something I’d normally wear out, good to know that my sense of fashion is still up to par at least in the eyes of others.  Although I do need to go do some shopping and get some new clothes, a lot of my stuff is kinda old.  Not like I won’t wear them again and it’s not like they’re all torn and ratty, it’s just that I’ve had them for years.  Hell I still have clothes from high school that don’t look 1/2 bad (condition wise).  Just don’t know when I’d wear those clothes again. 

So I said I had started talking to women on eharmony and I’m not sure how I should go about explaining my gaming stuff.  These people I play with are no different than my volleyball teams, but if I had to cut something to spend more time with one of these women it would be the first thing to go. I dunno I guess I just want to be able to do everything, but I just don’t have enough time to do it all.  I want them to understand that playing a video game is no different than sitting in front of the TV watching some reality show (which I also do from time to time).  It’s just that there’s always been this huge negative stigma associated to “video games” that it makes me fearful to even bring it up.  Anyone with any suggestions? You can leave annoymous comments BTW.  As far as talking to these women go it’s been not too bad, some just don’t work and others are pretty awesome.  Who knows, I might just have that girlfriend I was wanting by summer time.

Buddy of mine broke his wrist a few weeks back, luckily it was his left one and he’s still able to function, but hasn’t been working.  I think I’d go nuts if I lost the ability of my hands.  I’d be pretty useless and I’m not sure if I’d want to keep living.  The active lifestyle, the electronic communication and work, losing that part of yourself would almost completely damn you to die if darwinism were to take place.  Of course that’s only if I didn’t have anyone to take care of me. But even then, I don’t think I could live with being such a big burden on someone else’s life.  It wouldn’t be fair to them.

So I’m still not sure what this blog has to offer aside from the sporatic updates in my life and with the world being so interconnected and everything being offered already, I don’t think there really is anything I can offer except the things I want my friends to know and the stuff that I feel I need to vent about.  It’s good therapy 🙂  Nothing has really changed from the first day I started posting, it’s free and clean and uncensored thoughts of mine.  The only things that are somewhat controlled are the names of my friends that I include or leave out. I mean obviously if they stumble upon this they will know I’m talking about them, but the number of readers to this is pretty low I’m sure.

Yay the coffee kicked in a bit and I feel a little better, at the very least a little more awake.  Oh I’m getting my hair cut and coloured blue tonight 😀  I’ve wanted to do it for years, now is about time I did it.  Done blonde highlights multiple times, did red last summer, this year is the summer of blue.

After a little bit of work

by on Apr.01, 2009, under Personal

This is finally up and running. After several hours of fighting it’s going pretty good.  The weight loss continues, from the begining of the year I have dropped more than 20 pounds.  Makes me happy.  

Okay, this is a little annoying, this new blogging software just ate my last post…..

So in cliffnotes:

I really love my friends, don’t know what I’d do without them and I don’t think they understand what they mean to me.

I’m not sure why I’m keeping this up rather than something of just a personal venting space.  Most sites have a purpose and a reason, sharing some kind of knowledge.  I’m not sharing knowledge, just a journal.

It may seem geeky, but I lead the wow guild I am in, it’s no different than me being captain of my volleyball teams either.  It’s just the way I am, I am a leader and it just doesn’t change.  I was a Manager, a Team Lead at two different companies and it just transfers.  I see a lack of leadership and I take charge 🙂

I rediscovered Barrage and my love of Celtic music. The playlist is something I made 🙂
