So what

2007-02-06T16:20:00.000-06:00

yeah, It's been awhile. I know. I assume only the random friend reads this anyway.

But, I am writing again. maybe, things have kinda settled down and I can think clearly every once in a while.

I think I've gotten too busy with life that I'm having trouble keeping up with living it, not just doing it. Sure, I'm going out nearly every night of the week. But, the weeks end up as a blur. And now it's feb. January was a speeding train. Over and done with, with little to show for it. I spend my days wandering the internet looking at stupid videos and reading politcal commentary. Why do I feel useless in monotony? Little changes from week to week, with only the promise of a coming trip, a weekend, a day off, or leaving early to excite me.

I admire those people who take off like Jack Kerouac and head for the open road. I'm reading Through Painted Deserts by Donald Miller. It tempts me. someday, I'll do it. I think I want to go to Peru first. anybody up for it?

Moved

2006-11-09T16:37:00.000-06:00

Ok, sorry for the delay. I know my faithful readers have missed me. hahahahha

but, I'm in the new house. pictures to come soon as well as larger posts.

Birthday

2006-10-10T11:51:00.000-05:00

Well, I survived my birthday. I went to work like usual, got my stuff done and got out of there early. But, not until I had been hosed down with silly string and received lots of food and cake. That was fun. Then I met Mom and Laura for lunch at the Olive Garden.

Numerous presents were received including valuable giftcards and cash offerings. I may now be able to afford to get internet service at the new house. or do I want a refrigerator. hmmmm

This week, this year.

2006-10-06T15:04:00.000-05:00

This week has been one continous trial. One departments screw up, led me to miss some things that I have to fix. Luckily, as of 2:59pm everything is going to plan. It will soon be out of my hands.

I am going to be 25 on monday. I don't know what to think about that. It's another year gone by. I've done some fun things this year. But, I really don't feel like I accomplished anything. I've got the new job at the same company, that was probably the biggest life change, but certainly not one to celebrate. If i did, it be only for the patience to handle the monotony of purchasing. I feel old, yet I'm not. Well, if there is something to brag about this past year its that I finally started going to the gym and I'm in the best shape ever. A little superficial, but it makes me happy not to have to look at my fat ass anymore.

Laura comes home for fall break on sunday. I'm happy for that. When she's away, I realize that I miss her alot.

I think I've stayed out of the depression cycle fairly well this year. It was harder at first, but I finally met some awesome friends. I probably haven't told anybody about how down I was. When your soul feels dead and numb, you become a hollow shell, going through the motions. But, thats behind me. Sure, it comes in spells, but not like before.

What does my 25th year hold in store. Who knows.

BTW, i'm trying to grow a beard. don't laugh

Where Have I Gone?

2006-10-02T10:31:00.000-05:00

I think I must be spending too much time on myspace. I could be doing work, but that seems unlikely.

Summer Drags On...

2006-08-22T09:44:00.000-05:00

I have finally decided to write again, mostly because I'm bored at work.

Today, I found out that Audio Adrenaline is retiring. That makes me sad. I thought they were the coolest Christian Band. They always seemed really up to date and had good music. Now I feel super old.

August has been blur, with soo much going on. Company, trips, more company, trips. I started the month in Las Vegas, I'll end it in Atlanta. I feel so tired, but the relief never comes. weekends have been busy with company or hosting parties. My next 2 weekends will be on the road, both in Atl for 2 different things.

Work remains boring...thats all to say there.
I bore myself.

Jordan can't go to Egypt. I'm lost with what to do now. I need to go somewhere.

Wow..

2006-07-14T10:06:00.000-05:00

Last night, a bunch of the FBC posse went to see Rob Bell @ Ridgelea. It was his "everything is spiritual" tour. For nearly 2 hours, Rob spoke about how connected everthing really is and how in a universe of extremes, we humans are at the center of it all. That we are a joining of the earth and the breath of God.

Last night was just phenomenal. I have never heard with such clarity and understanding the message of why we are here and the basis for our faith. Rob is such an expert on Hebrew language and life, he give new meaning to Genesis 1.

There was no altar call, offering, or condemnation of anyone. Last night was elemental faith teaching. It was the bedrock beginings of God's relationship with us. It is so evident that there is more to life than what we see, why can't everybody grasp that?

Tuesday, is here

2006-07-11T11:25:00.000-05:00

Day two of Martina being gone is going well. I haven't screwed much up and people seem to be happy. It's weird being the boss and having an employee gone that you depend on so much for. At least she is coming back, I don't want to train anyone else to do her job.

Daniel's visit is going well too. We haven't done much in the way of exciting things however. Wednesday, we are going to six flags. That will be fun. Yesterday was my first day with the personal trainer. I didn't have time for breakfast so I ended up crashing and feeling nasty about 45 mins into the session. At least I didn't yak or pass out. I'm such a loser.

Well, I must get ready for Lion's Club. Whooo hoo.

Friday again

2006-07-07T08:57:00.000-05:00

Wow, this life is getting far to repetitive. Alas, it is another friday and I get to look forward to another weekend of messing around. Going to get the hairs cut tomorrow and do some shopping. Albeit cheaply, I've decided to conserve some money instead of spending practically everything I earn. How noble of me.

This is the damage to the ride.

Oh, and this is amazing. A most awesome page

How unfortunate...

2006-07-03T13:48:00.000-05:00

So, after a not-so exciting trip to Las Vegas, I get home and a nice day off to go see a movie. Then I rear end a guy on the way to the movie because some stupid guy didn't yeild and cut him off causing a chain reaction. Luckily, nobody was hurt, we were going pretty slow and the airbags didn't inflate. But, the car needs repairs and looks sad, the front left side is jacked up pretty bad.

My perfect driving record is gone, at least it is in my mind. The cops weren't called, YAY,

Anticipation...

2006-06-28T09:47:00.000-05:00

Things this week are going well. Last night was Taco Tuesday with the group. Lot's of fun. But the big event is the waiting for Friday and Las Vegas. Mom and the crew are in Denver picking up Shirley.
The melee will begin soon.

I hate Thursdays

2006-06-22T16:21:00.000-05:00

Why? Because Thursdays are boring. All my paperwork runs on Friday so it makes no sense to use old numbers when tomorrow will be all fresh and new. So, I sit most of the day bored, working on other projects that make me sleepy. I was late this morning because I fell back asleep after I hit the alarm. 5 mins...that's pathetic. I can't even be properly late, like 3 hours. No, just annoyingly late, 5 mins past the morning meeting. And the sleep wasn't even that good.

Last night laura and I went to Maharaja Indian Food place, it sucked. Don't go there ever. I am surprised that I have lived this whole day.

I think I may leave at 430, to go to the gym. I normally go at lunch, but I had a meeting. it sucked too.

Weekend is coming. That means sleeping late in my new bed with the awesomest mattress pad. It is really awesome. better methinks than the double mattress I once had.

boo

2006-06-19T14:22:00.000-05:00

Ok, I am amid the throes of a viscious "post vacation depression" I really don't know why, I'm going to vegas in 2 weeks, I should be happy. Maybe it's the work I have to do between now and then. Not that it's hard, I just have to do the same old stuff over and over.

The vacation was amazing and the family was remarkably well behaved. When I got back, I was due to sign lease papers for the apt in hillsboro. But, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I really didn't like to aspect of being so far away from civilization and my friends. So, I resign myself to driving the Grand Prix back and forth to work and getting up at 530 every morning.

So, since I wasn't moving into the apt, I had to do something with all the stuff I bought. I decided to redecorate my room. I got the queen mattress from the garage along with my new head board and rearranged my whole space. The result is quite nice. a soothing, adult looking room. Like a fancy hotel. but the stupid lamp jingles when my fan is on. So I put a pillowcase over it, Ghetto but it works. Generally the new layout works, less storage space, but very attractive. It also reveals that I need a mattress pad and a magazine rack.

Back From Vaca

2006-06-12T18:15:00.000-05:00

I'll post after I dig out from work.

Waiting and Waiting

2006-06-01T09:39:00.000-05:00

Laura had her sorority sisters in for a week so things have been crazy at the house. But Memorial Day weekend was pleasant with a symphony concert, trip to Fossil Rim, a new digital camera, cookout at Bruce and Cindy's, and a trip to Ikea. Was busy but quite satisfying.

But, I'm waiting for friday though. Because that's when dad and I fly to Seattle to meet up with the fam and go on our cruise!! I can't wait to see glaciers, mountains, water, non-desert wildlife.

Got a haircut, its short again. much better.

SEX, NOTHING BUT PURE SEX!!!

2006-05-26T16:41:00.000-05:00

Be prepared for the hottest thing ever. It's completely safe for all audiences and it's sooo sexy. MEN, PREPARE TO HAVE DESIRE FILL YOUR HEART!! Ladies, this is what men really want.

Fridays rule

2006-05-19T13:34:00.000-05:00

yay, it's friday. Tonight, we go to Texas de Brazil with Brad and Michelle. this will be mucho fun. I love steaks and the people are good fun.

What ever will I do this weekend? I need more apt stuff. But, more importantly, I have a new special item. I will share later. it is amazing. and it came from a thrift store.

I have a headache

2006-05-17T15:31:00.000-05:00

My head hurts. I have taken advil, it's not working yet. still too soon.

Weekend in Review

2006-05-15T10:14:00.000-05:00

After a particularly hellacious week, all I wanted to do was sleep, which I did...some.

After ditching work early on Friday, dad and I went to see Poseidon. It was a typical remake, little on dialoge and alot on action. My favorite things about this movie:

Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas dies!
The only crewmember that goes with the group dies a really gruesome death including

Death from Impalement after fall
Elevator crashing on his body
Flash fire and explosion
Eventually drowning

Lots of exciting deaths with flailing, screaming, and much terror.

So, I was entertained for an hour or so.

Sat. Dad and I went to the horse races with John the insurance guy. It was a jovial group so everyone had a good time. Here are some pics:Sunday, Laura and Mom finally made it back to Texas. We ate at the fabulous Red Lobster and went home to play in the pool. A nice weekend. Wish it was longer because this week is already boring me to death.

Baseball

2006-05-05T09:59:00.000-05:00

YAY, the Rangers won! Actually, I'm not that happy. I do like the team I am going to see to win, but the Braves are my team. I guess I could adopt the Rangers as my American Leauge Team.

Nachos and Garlic Fries. Yummy. To go with the hot dog and funnel cake I had as well.

Everybody have fun tonight!

2006-05-04T13:30:00.000-05:00

YAY, tonight I am going to the rangers game. Will be mucho fun, lots of food I hope.

Laura is done with school for the year and will be coming home in a week, I'm scared. The house will loose all peace and sanity. At least I won't live there much longer. I bought my bed stuff yesterday. damn near 350 bucks. OUCH. At least I will sleep on the finest sheets and my bed will look awesome, very chic.

Yay, Six Flags

2006-05-01T13:28:00.000-05:00

Went to Six Flags this weekend with Addi. Got in Free, Thanks Omni America Bank

I love App

2006-05-01T13:19:00.000-05:00

Sad Weekend

2006-04-26T16:35:00.000-05:00

What was supposed to be a nice weekend visit with Laura in ATL turned bad when my Grandfather died on Sat. morning. Cecil Collins was 92 and in poor health, however, we weren't expecting it so soon. It comes at the end of an almost year-long stay in a nursing home with visits in and out of the hospital.

The funeral was on Monday.

Now, I'm back at work trying to recover all that was screwed up while I was away.

Easter was hot, no really.

2006-04-17T10:56:00.000-05:00

Yeah, last Easter was a frozen tundra of Texas complete with freak snowstorm. This year, 100 degree heat and sunbathing. Too strange, yes even today the mercury will pass 100 and I'm wearing a sweater becuase they keep the air at like 67 in my office.

Went to an awesome Quice, Mexican sweet 15, on sat night. It was sooo weird. Food was good, thats about it. Trying to map out apt crap strategy, figure out what I need to buy.
