Ok, so last week was good, got my new car, got my first call about selling the jetta. things went pretty well. Oh yeah and we got our biggest client of the year and i'm probably going to be heading up development on it. That's big stuff. This week is inversely proportional to last week. At work my mentor and friend is leaving the company. I don't know what to do. I will talk to him but I know I can't stop it from happening. It's very sad to me. For a long time I've known that my friends might leave. Afterall we don't pay very well and we are all working towards our dreams. And sometimes dreams change. But having him leave is heartbreaking to me. I don't know what I will do. I really don't. I have to just keep on keeping on. Pushing forward. We are so close to our goals. I don't understand it. I feel like I don't understand anything anymore. |

Ok so I found my berlina black S2000. It's awesome. Just over 60,000 miles. Which is definitly more than I wanted on it but oh well. Had to juggle my finances alot to get everything together but that's not the hardest part of it yet. Next month I will have 2 car payments. Somebody please buy my jetta. OMG pls. |

still looking around for the right S2000. I've settled for the fact that I have to get a slightly older one. Probably gonna be a 2k2 with about 30k miles on it. I'll probably blow that # way out of the water by the time i'm done with it but it'll be worth it. Thus my plans to sink myself further into debt are coming to fruition. :)
wish me luck that i find my AP1 soon. |

| S2000 |
[Jul. 24th, 2006|06:00 pm] |
So i've set my sights. It will be an S2000. I've thought about some overly used cars and some sportier/faster cars. The S2000 is about as sporty as they come but all my racer friends tell me "no no no it's so slow". However I don't care. I don't need to go 8 bajillion miles per hour. So I want at least a 2005. This means i'm going to break the bank. Hopefully that won't be too far away though. Bonus money + a raise soon (and a good one) make this a very real possibility.
also i found this NEATO software for creating & designing magic the gathering decks called Magic Suitcase.
It's the shizzle :)
Match tonight - I'm So EXCITED! |

Well i've been driving around the jetta for a little over 1 and a half years and i'm honestly kinda bored with it. It's a little slow - it's a little boring - it's a little old. I honestly think it's still one of the most comfortable cars i've ever driven but comfort doesn't equal excitement and that's one thing i really like in my cars. They don't have to be super fast - but faster than the jetta. Should have gotten the turbo model when i had the chance. Well now i'm sitting on top of a decision. I want a different car. Something faster hopefully - if not at least something more powerful. Preferrably a convertible or at the very least a sun roof. I'll also go for an SUV. A used landrover would be nice. Did you know you can pick up a used land rover for about 15-20? That's the same price as a civic. |

so i'm starting this monster back up
my addiction is fairly well ended and i'm done with it all for a good part. i still use the internet alot. mostly for work but i do alot of other stuff on here. i play on a counter-strike source team - we are cal-o, but i only play maybe 2 or 3 times a week - that's practice, one night of pubbing, and match night. first season we arn't doing too bad 3-3. need more players to get their shizzle together.
what else what else
i'm in love - yes again... no it's not one of those internet relationships... yes i know i screwed some of those up lol. her name is emily :) no she doesn't have a myspace, or a LJ, or any of that. we met through my roommmate. i have to admit it's fucked up but... they used to see each other on occasion - nothing serious - both of them say that. yes i got permission to date her from him before we started dating. what do i look like some kind of a-hole? anyways. i spend my saturday mornings now at her son's baseball games. and i spend most of my time with her.
what else am i doing these days... OMG - i'm back into magic the gathering. i've been playing for over a month but i havn't spent but like ... 50$ or so. I've bought 3 preconstructed decks - gave one to mason (emily's son) and protectors. I've designed my next deck from scratch and i'll be posting it here soon. |

ok, so my sister's birthday is tomorrow, I don't have enough time to buy her a gift so I'll have to send it tomorrow next day mail and she should get it Saturday or Monday or Whenever, I feel bad but I just don't have the time, I've got to find a new apartment, 2 bedroom, for me and mickey, because it turns out he isn't going to live with his mom afterall because there is no room for him there, and galliker's upgrades are due by december 15th, i'm sooooo stressed out |

hmmmm well I went into work yesterday at 9:00 in the morning, and guess what... I"M STILL HERE, yes... i'm insane but it will pay off one day, big project rolling out today, well it rolled out a little while ago but I have a phone conference at 3 and then maybe ed will let me go home, i hope so, i don't know how long I can last, i did curl up underneath the conference room table with laura's space heater near by, slept a good 6 hours (occasionally waking to check my surroundings and stumble around a bit, only to crawl under the table again and go back to sleep), this better pay off, i better be paid for my vacation at the end of the month and i better get a nice comfy office to myself
on the less happy news, two days ago andrew, the other FNG (fucking new guy) ate pizza that had been sitting out all night. What does that mean? Well he thought he had serious methane issues all day, nearing the end of the day he actually left because it got so bad we suggested he run to the store and get something for his upset stomach, he didn't return for 2 or 3 hours, we were quite worried, he came in only long enough to say he was going home, yesterday he called in sick, food poisoning we were informed, today I awaken to ask how our good friend andrew is doing, his appendix has ruptured and he's in the hospital, i hope he's ok, very scary that a guy ate some pizza and 2 days later his appendix is ruptured, i don't think the two are really related issues but i'm not altogether convinced they are not related, staying away from old food for a while, hope andrew is ok |

testing LJ, trying to make some more of the old post comments pop up
its been a crazy day, my project went up clean last night and havn't received any calls today from the customer, all seems well
andrew had some lady from T-mobile in the office this morning, brought in some new SIM chips for some of the intermec devices, they arn't working, looks like she's cute but not too educated on her job
but it was rather comical to see brian & chuck trying to get a peek at her, rofl, these boys need a good night on the town, been stuck in this office for too damn long |

BOOM builder blows up and everything i've done this morning is gone, poof... like dust in the wind... someone remind me why i'm not allowed to break company equipment, or else i may toss this damn laptop right up against the wall |
