Guess Who’s Back

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

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.

A Sad Day

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

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.

I hope they find peace somehow.

R.I.P. 9 lives taken to soon.

Just Plain Tired

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

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.

so tired……need sleep…….

Out

Firefox or Chrome?

Friday, July 16th, 2010

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?

Wedding Bells!

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

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!

Missing Home???

By the way I wrote this on a iPad. Let’s the jokes commence.
