I woke to rain, rain that became sleet, sleet that became hail, hail that became snow. It's snowing in the middle of March. That is wrong. I live in southeast Virginia, there is no March snow here. This is just wrong. To top that off, all (and I mean ALL) of downtown Norfolk is without power, so Nextel's phone systems are totally dead (guess they never heard of backups) so my radio is out, direct connect is out, and the only working phone I have is my personal one. If it weren't that my work laptop's primary connect was via Sprint I'd be working in the dark as it were.
Anyway, I'm sitting at the Virginia Beach oceanfront with no work to do until 16:00, and I'm BORED!
That is all.
Little bit of everthing
First, I ran into this quiz on someone else's blog and wondered how mine would come out. It came out just like I thought it would.
Ok, I know, all this time with nothing and I'm posting a quiz result. I think it's appropriate though. These last few months have taught me a lot about myself. At the very least shown me that I am who I think I am. So it makes sense to me and I'm the only one that it has to make sense to, no?
Alright, what have I been up to? Mostly work, lots of work. I really don't like my job or more I don't like the company I work for. That's fine though, as I don't know how much longer I'll be with them. I just don't like having to sacrifice quality for speed, and that's what they want.
Money sucks. Not having it sucks. Having to have it sucks. I don't want anything to do with it. I'm kind of stuck with it but I still don't want to deal with it.
I've come to the realization that I really don't have any friends anymore. There are people that were my friends; I still care about them and I'm sure at least some of them still care about me. We don't talk anymore, though. Not sure if that's my fault, their fault, or really no one's fault. Doesn't matter really. Fact is that we don't and that sucks. I don't even have anyone I would call a friend at work. Sure there are a few people I get along with and even like, but I work a rather solitary job. I see my coworkers briefly, in the morning, and in the evening. Otherwise, I work alone. With my schedule, it means that the only person I really get to spend any time with is my girlfriend. I adore her to no end but as much as she means to me she can't be everything to me. It's not possible and it's not healthy to try. Nothing much to do about it right now, though, but deal with it until things change.
Speaking of her, some interesting things have occurred in our relationship. Nothing bad; in fact, I think in some ways it's made us closer or at least made us realize how close we already are. Definitely interesting, though.
Otherwise, I'm not really sure what to say. I've gotten so out of the habit of writing, anything at all, that I don't really know how to do it anymore. Probably should work on that but I'm not going to say that I will as that will most certainly assure that I won't.
You scored as Fall. You are FALL. You appreciate all that you have and are willing to share with others. You are a friend in the truest sense of the word, and can easily focus your attention on those who need you, placing yourself on the back burner. You make sure your responsibilities are met before you allow yourself free time.

A whole lot about nothing
I know, I know, I haven't posted anything in a while. Yes, a lot has happened but at the same time, not much has changed. I've moved out of my parents home, and into an apartment. My girlfriend and I are mostly settled in, though there are a few things we have yet to move. My work schedule just hasn't allowed it yet but hopefully soon.
Work sucks as work tends to do. The heat sucks, the rain sucks, the customers suck... all the usual.
Oddly enough I don't have all that much to say, which is why I haven't posted anything in a while. Oh well, thought I would let people know I was still alive. More when there is more.

Another year, and all that
Well, a few hours ago my 30th birthday ended. I am a 'thirtysomething' now. I'm even less able to get away with being 'silly' now or at least I will be when people realize how old I am. So far I've not managed to look much older than 25 but I'm sure that will end soon enough.
Oh well... this old body needs its sleep...

From the mouths of babes
My son just uttered the words 'I don't like cheese on my cheeseburgers'.
Why me?
Why me?
Weekends... wasted time?
I'm not sure why but it seems that no matter how much I look forward to the weekend, I never actually have reason to. Sure, it's a few days off from work; which with my job is a nice thing. I don't actually do anything though.
It's not as though that's abnormal for me. I haven't really done anything other than eat, work, sleep, repeat in a long time. Only when I go to see my girlfriend is that any different. I suppose it's logical to assume that when she moves down here, which she will be doing in a few weeks, that I'll actually get out and do things, but there's something in me that wonders about that. Am I really that boring that I can never think of anything to do or is it just that I don't like doing things alone that keeps me home all the time?
I really don't have much of an answer for that, though I suppose I'll find out very soon. I'd like to think that it's just my lack of companionship that keeps me homebound but I'm a little worried that I really am that boring.
Any thoughts? Or am I better off not knowing?

Getting out, going deaf
Ran into a guy I used to work with a few weeks ago and he invited me to see a showing of his art at a local café. I'd seen his stuff before and thought it might be cool to see what he had out on display.
Well, looking at what he's done over the last year I really think he has a future with his photography. His other work is quite good too but the way he sees life through a viewfinder is truly inspired.
Decided to stay a while and sample some of what the café had to offer. Why I picked cheesecake I don't know but it's actually quite good. Starting to think that maybe I've just had bad cheesecake in the past.
Wish I could say the same for the band though. Now it isn't so much their playing ability as it is their total lack of understanding of the size of the room they are playing. Amps were not needed.
Did get to meet up with the guy whose work I'm here to see, so all is not lost. Except maybe my hearing.
Suppose I should wrap this up, finish my cake, and get going. Bad Christian music is one thing, really loud bad Christian music is quite another.
