My cousin, Dana, is the one in blue not holding the football.

The cable modem is supposed to be fixed sometime today. I really, really hope that happens. It is really boring at my apartment without internet access. I might have to go hang out at my dad's place...

5 days out....

My parents gave me my Birthday Presents early, and they are all very awesome. Some money for work clothes, a spare pair of jeans (some of mine are getting worn), and the first 2 seasons of Corner Gas (a hilarious canadian sitcom).

And I treated myself to a new design for the site... "Share and Enjoy™"

Mr. Flibble *faint*

One of my favorite sub-characters from Red Dwarf is finally being mass-produced.

I had a good weekend, but it is very exhausting trying to entertain so many people at once. Sophie was amazingly well-behaved and polite. I was very impressed. Still have some school stress, but I hope to have that wrapped up before the next class on Friday. Beth is supposed to be here tomorrow for a few days. It'll be nice to have someone around to just hang out with.

Food For Thought!

Thank you Keith!

Thanks for the insight, but as my grandmother always said: "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke. And break their windows." Kiss it, Banky "The Hack" --- P.S. "I'm Rich!"

Lots of work to do tomorrow. School gets me so stressed out. I have two case studies I need to get done tomorrow so I can email them to my group members by noon on Sunday. I also need to make with a serious cleaning of my apartment. All this needs to be done tomorrow because of the large numbers I expect to stay with me this weekend. I <3 company, really.
I hate cleaning...

...Continued

My good friend Andy raises some excellent points.

Well, you are not exactly in the same place as you were when you were three.

Hell you aren't even in the same place as you were January 1st.

But if you are concerned about your actual residence, there are plenty of ways to rectify that. You just have to decide you really want to do it.

What follows is my response:

I don't know what to do with myself.

I concur, technically I am not in the same place as I was when I was three. But it feels like it some times. I rarely venture out of my bubble.

I also agree that technically I am not in the same place (spiritually, mentally, physically) that I was on Jan 1. And I am thankful for that as well. (As an aside, this is not meant as a slight; I believe now that my previous relationship was doomed to fail It was not a good arrangement for either party involved, if only now that we have seen was has happened since.)

I have no willpower, and little drive. I feel like what I would imagine a lost cause feels like. I have friends, I have support. But I am still a scared little boy. I have told a wonderful woman that I love her and she has reciprocated, and that I would love to have a life with her and she has reciprocated, but I have no idea how to make it happen. I am lazy, single-minded, stubborn and sycophantic. I am too lazy to even have faith.

That is why I feel like I am three. I am smart enough to understand that I am alive, but damned if I know how to do what I want to do next. And unfortunately, it is not anything that anyone can tell me.

----Additional----
Let me say that this post is regarding how I feel about making changes in my life. Not specific to any one facet of my life.

12 Days, 21 Hours etc

... until my 24th Birthday.

And I am still in the same fucking place I have been since I was 3. What the hell is the matter with me?

Ray shot the Sheriff

Bang! was played during lunch today at work. Josh was the Sheriff, I was the Outlaw, and Ray was the Renegade. Now although 3 player Bang! is nothing compared to 5-7 much fun was had. The Renegade finished me off first then a heated battle between the Sheriff and Renegade began. Eventually the Sheriff took his final bullet, and the Renegade assumed his position as new Sheriff.

Scott & Dan

Scott & Dan

Not willing to be left out Dan gets John to take picture of us. Really made me feel like one of the guys, and a part of the family.

I have actually finished my reading for class prior to the beginning of class. This is unheard of. In fact, I never did one single bit of the reading for the class previous to this one.
