Apparently, not me. Peanut butter is delicious. On days I forget to bring breakfast or forget to get breakfast (which is most days), I eat a scoop or two of peanut butter right out of the jar. I may or may not have a 3 lb jar of Skippy’s creamy peanut butter at my desk.
Haven’t gotten much rest recently. Sucks. It’s a long story but kind of short. For the past few weeks, I’ve woken up multiple times per night (3+), and it kind of sucks the next morning because I distinctly remember the times I got woken up. And it’s not only nightmares too. I mean, I get nightmares all the time, kind of weird, but whatever they’re enjoyable. I actually had a pretty funny one with Freddy Krueger in it the other night. Lack of sleep kind of compounds little problems…soooooo…..yeah…but it’s ok, it’s alright (I got something that you gon’ like), because I’m feeling pretty good now. I only woke up twice last night. I guess small steps for progress? Sure why not. I like how this thing marks keywords. “chicken, butter, good” When did I ever mention butter before these past two lines?
Nick/Becky’s wedding was great, had a good time at that. Not so good after when my car decided to crap out on me, but hey it happens. Time to start looking for a new one. That’s kind of a frustrating process too…
I want chicken and waffles. I kind of wish I lived down south so I could get me some, though I’ve been told there’s a place in Boston that serves that. Might go there one of these mornings. Also, if I lived down south, I could get more cajun food. I love cajun food. and a REAL shrimp po’boy. Actually, I just like food in general. Probably why I’m so fat.
I wonder what’s for lunch today. Chicken fingers, or Teriyaki Caramelized Onions Chicken burger on a wheat roll. Uhh…..CHICKEN FINGERS. Ding.
I’m going to visit Chuck sometime soon. I haven’t told him yet. I should probably tell him, like now. Ok cool, I just told him. More importantly, someone get me fried chicken.
So I know I have not written to much on this site lately. Been kind of busy, you know with trying to buy a house, and Nick and Becky’s wedding, and dealing with work, and trying to figure out when to pack, and trying to manage my social life, and trying to keep my head on strait. You get the idea. Point being I have not been around lately.
Nick and Becky had an amazing wedding, even though I did lose the flowers for it…..Shame on me. It was still very nicely done, and Nick and Becky make a great married couple. I wish them both the best of luck int he future when they move away like a bunch of jerks (kidding, love you guys) and they are going to have a billion happy memories. The first of which I will be in, so I guess that is a high point for me. Sophia was very well behaved for the whole thing, and was adorable in her little dress.
The house buying process is getting there. I finally have that whole messed sorted out, I have all the paperwork into the broker, and I am just waiting on the greenlight to close on the 20th of this month. In 9 days I should be a real life homeowner. WNEC sent over my transcripts this morning so I am all set there. I have to say this has been one of the hardest and longest processes I have ever been a part of, kind of crazy, and it has sucked the life right out of me. I hope I never have to do it again, but you never know, I will probably move out of that house at some point.
The rest of the family is good, they are all getting by. I hope to get down to my grandmothers house this weekend so I can take a look at her computer. I guess it is not working right. Lame. The rest is history.
Thank you to everyone who was worried for me yesterday after the terrible events that happened in Manchester. I am fine, but my heart goes out to the victims and their families of that terrible unjust attack.
It has been a long week and it is only Thursday. This kind of stinks, I am so tired all of the time. I finally slept well last night, got a good 9 hours or so. Still woke up feeling like I was run over by a truck, o well you cant win them all.
Visiting with Nick and Becky and everyone else was great, although Chruu couldn’t get home on time so I was just sitting in my car waiting for him to get a ride on the T back to his place. Loser. Anyway, still had a blast, went to a spot called Good Harbor to relax, eat some food, go for a swim, get shit on by a seagull. After that we just went home, ate some dinner, drank for a little bit, played some cards, and had a good time.
The house is moving along, we are almost set to move in, 4 weeks from tomorrow will be the date. I will try to put a countdown on the site for it, only because I am that bored I need something to do. The FHA people messed up though and now I have to go sign all of the paperwork again because they cant figure it out to save their lives. Kind of stinks I guess. I will get that done today, and then it is down to Wallingford to visit with some people and plan out the weekend and how I am going to be busy as heck.
I can’t wait, almost time to start heading up to MA again for another trip to see Nick, and Becky. Plus Chruu and Diane. Really miss being up there, but hey this weekend is going to rock. Plus big news for some people coming up this weekend, but they don’t know it yet, mostly because I am lazy. Leaving tomorrow after work if anyone really cares.
Turns out the UStream Broadcaster for my phone works pretty darn well as you can tell from the live video feed. I am hoping to get a good feed from my computer at work to be constant, thought that might be cool. It was a pain in the butt to gett he darn thing to work because none of the plugins worked the way I wanted them too. O well.
So I decided today that I was going to try out Google Chrome, thought it might be a good idea seeming I have heard nothing but good things about it and I have seen a lot of other people using it. I have to say right off the bat I like it. Its stupid simple to use really. I know it is just a web browser, but with other ones you have to pick and choose options to get it to how you like it. This one just worked.
Let me give you some back story though. I used to use Internet Explorer all the time…then a company called Mozilla showed up and started to dominate the scene with Firefox. A great browser might I add. So I started to use Firefox over IE. I hated the fact that some websites had apps that only ran in IE, so I would have to switch back and forth. It was pointless. I stuck with Firefox though because it was secure and seemed to be better. I would get all the updates and I would tell everyone I knew about it and tell them to download and use it. Then Firefox came out with a Beta for version 4. Look at my screenshots below to see Firefox 4 and Chrome with one another. notice anything odd?
They look the same to you at all? They sure do to me. Seeing this put the idea in my head that I might want to try and see what this Chrome deal was all about, and seeming they had just added extensions like Firefox loves to have, I thought it might be a good time. I downloaded it and fooled around for a bit to see what was going on. I have to say I really liked it. The browser is fast, now while I don’t understand all the technical details about it, I can plainly see a speed increase. Looking for extensions was a snap as well, i just click and search for things I like, or use the top rated ones. I even put a nice android theme as the background. Love it.
I want to hear from other people though about how their Chrome experience has been? Could it fully replace Firefox for you?
So I am about to go with Stephanie tomorrow to put down all the money we need to for the wedding. We finally have a date. September 25, 2011. This is good and bad. Good because we are finally getting married, and if the world really does end in 2012, we could at least have some time together. Ha, bad joke. Anyway bad because it gives us one year to plan for it, while trying to get moved into the house, go to like 3 other weddings, and make sure we don’t go broke. We got this.
Also Stephanie and I have been working on a new site to help people keep up to date with all of the wedding. We both thought it might be easier for a lot of people this way. Plus it will give everyone an open forum to discuss the wedding and whatnot. Really allow people to connect with one another. Check it out.
Work has been a little crazy but it happens. I guess the same is true for Chruu, he hasn’t written in a while, but when I talked to him the other day he had a lot of work to get done and he did not seem to happy about it. I feel kind of bad for him, but my programming is limited to HTML/PHP/JAVA/FLASH/C. O well, he will make it through.
On a side note I am looking to update the theme on this site soon. I like the one I have but I feel like it could be better. Honestly I might try to fix this one first. I want to make it span a little more across the screen really. I feel like there is not to much room and it is kind of a waste of space at times. Plus it would be easier for me to add videos, and pictures, and other things that i have to code to be smaller because the site is to small.
To everyone ever who told me get used to life after college, and live it up in college because it is going to be the best time in your life, they were right. College was one of the best time, and growing up is both odd and hard. Looking for a house drove me crazy, the wedding is going to drive me more crazy, and the whole time I have to continue to work and deal with crazy people on the phone.
In other news I heard the iPhone 4 is going to possibly be recalled. While I always have a bad taste in my mouth for apple, the iPhone really did have its issues. I find it funny if you held it ‘wrong’ it would not work. I know this issue with the iPhone was beaten like a dead horse so I wont go to far into it. Go Droid!
I saw a bunch of those commercials recently so that is all I can think of. I hate that guy, mostly because he probably made some real good money off of that stupid gimmick and I don’t get any cut of it. O well, I will have to figure out something else to make money quick.
Anyway I have been away for a while dealing with crazy house things, wedding craziness, other peoples wedding craziness, and the heat. For those who don’t live in CT it has been like in the upper nineties for the last few days. Kind of stinks but whatever. I am trying to get by it all.
I did get my new motor in to turn the bike into a moped, but since I bought a house and everything, I have put those plans on hold since money is kind of tight right now. I hope it works out well though since Stephanie and I can use it to go short distances without having to waste a car trip. She can visit her parents and I can tool around and look like a tool. I just get nervous because people suck at driving. Case and point below…
And just for kicks I thought I might throw this video in there as well, it makes me laugh…
That reall about does it for now, Stephanie and I are working on a new site that we hope to have up on the internet soon, mostly because we need to iron out a few things first before people see the site and start to comment on it. Plus we need to make sure the site works 100%.
So as most of you know I have a new house that I am going to be moving into, I am very excited about as is Stephanie. I just wish it would come already I feel like I have been waiting forever. For those who don’t know I will be closing on the house on the 20th of august so keep a watch around here and Facebook to know whine i am going to be having some people over to celebrate.
By the way I wrote this on a iPad. Let’s the jokes commence.
