nice, scar. :D

Work was boring. It was me my manager and the old guy. :D only did 3 rolls of film..got out of there at 8. :)

ended up not going out...my friend didn't want to risk an accident and said they'd probably be closed anyway, we're supposedly getting 2-3 inches of snow tonight. definitely going out friday night, checking out that new club.

i got home, and put in Fable II...i'm sad to say it is getting boring/repetitive. I was messing around with people and of course, the game froze on me. So out of frustration, i took the game out, gave a sigh of anger, and put Call of Duty 4 in. Loaded up the multiplayer team deathmatch hardcore. Scored a good amount of kills with the M21 Sniper Rifle. I got 13 kills, 0 deaths on Showdown. normally i wouldn't use a sniper rifle on that map, but i only needed 3 kills for the ACOG scope. I impressed myself.

Think I'll play some more tonight, after I do some missions in Assassin's Creed. I'd like to get that game beaten. :D

Work sucked as usual, mass flooding going on, road/hiway home is closed so I had to take back roads. Has been raining almost non stop for more then 28-30 hours.

Tonightafter dinner the family went to the neighboring city to their city maintanance building and helped fill/tie/stack sand bags for almost 2 hours. We left at about 8:30PM and most all the city workers have been there since 8AM.

Lost of homes lost. :(

Cleared the Obsidium Sanctum 10 man raid on World of Warcraft. Easy easy fight.

Whats up guys.

New to the forum, came across your thread from last year. Not really into the lucas games, only ones I enjoyed were Kotor I & II. Went through a crappy holidays spent it with some friends. Girl dumped me in the middle of november. Which I had got out of jail in september. For those of you complaining about not having a job, try to get one with a felony.

I live in Virginia, in a small town 40 miles sw of Richmond. Just beat bioshock last week, playing an oldie currently. Neverwinter nights 2.

After we broke tried the friend thing, but it didnt work out to well obviously. Trying to find things to do so I wont want to call or text. You can only put so many hours into games though haha.

first it was Jango's problem which i couldnt diagnose w/o me being there (so i visited and didnt take me very long to figure it out, jango you goof...) , then it was someone on steam whom is from Toronto. well, again, hard to do w/o me being there.

Work was blah. Not easy... not hard... just blah. High schoolers butchering jazz.

I guess I'm managing our division's intraweb site now. Who knew?

Looks easy enough... but I'm just really in love with the fact I was volunteered to do this work by a couple of fellow workers.

When buying a sword, a functional one, especially a Katana, be prepared to invest several thousand dollars.

Work has been OK. I called in sick for a few days (Unpaid, no sick time, but I needed a break so I value that over pay), work for three days, then from Sunday to Wednesday is paid time off.

sounds interesting, considering that i'm so not the type to do 'over the phone' or in this case 'over the chat room' tech support... :dozey:

i'm actually really good at the diagnosing part of a problem, its just that i cant do much if i cant see what's been the problem...

just got into Lost Odyssey....i forgot what a pain in the ass rpgs were when you first start out...until i ran into the first boss....and being tired, i repeatedly killed my party...must've been at least 10 times?

I am determined that I'm NOT gonna let it bother me this year.

As of New Years, I have decided that I am now no longer to be classified: "single and looking" but instead: "single and not looking" or perhaps instead: "single and totally apathetic about it."

I haven't yet determined if this is to be merely a temporary reprieve... or a permanent change in my outlook.

I also don't know if it is a passive or an active denial. ('Doing things as I have been doing, and if something interesting happens, maybe explore it, but just not seek it or try to force it...' vs: 'Avoid all situations that might possibly lead me to start thinking about it as a possibility again, and actually refuse any offers that might come my way...')

I've spent way too much time, thought, and effort dwelling on this matter over the last couple of years, only to end up in a worse place than where I started. I need a break.

We'll see how I feel about it in a couple of months as to whether I wish to continue down that path or not.

I prefer to say it:

"Single and completely pessimistic to looking" :dozey:

"Single and too busy playing vidya gamez" :joy:

That also works. I won't deny it...

But, after several decades of banging my head against a wall, hoping that somehow a new attempt will turn out somehow differently, I think it's time to accept fate as gracefully as I can muster.

Isn't the textbook definition of insanity: "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”?

It feels like a no-win situation to me sometimes. Either you have no one, living only for yourself, which stinks unless you devote yourself to something else important, or you have someone, and have to put up with all the B.S. that that implies, which also stinks. And there will be tons of B.S., because men and women have completely lost their identities in our society, which is becoming increasingly androgynous. A true complimentary relationship is impossible now, because the differences and implications thereof are no longer respected, putting the spouses into a competetive and stressful situation. There are some men and women who have not fallen into this trap, but they are few and far between.

I find myself torn between entering two tournaments: the People's Tournament later this month at Westgate Lanes and my local bowling association's championship tournament next month at North Bowl Lanes in N. Attleboro. There's a bigger top prize in the People's, but the idea of being one of my city's champions (the local association event is commonly called the city tournament) has always appealed to me, and I'd have three shots at becoming one (there are events for 4-man teams, doubles and singles...four if you count the all-events title).

What do you guys think? I can only bowl one of them due to my budget, so which one?

Really productive day at work yesterday. Got a lot of really important maintenance projects finally wrapped up... and had a really good long lunch to boot!

We made a lot of changes that should make things easier and more efficient in the long run. Whoo-Hoo!

Also had a meeting about me becoming the webmaster of the division's intranet page. The changes they want to make in the short term sound easy. The long term goals sound super ambitious. Hmmm...

Slipped on a set of stairs carrying a box down from an upper deck. Bruised the crap out of my arm. Blah.

That's going to suck when I have to tackle the shoveling tomorrow. More snow tonight... and a ****-load of it too.
Hooray...

Went out with a bunch of co-workers to a great barbecue place in Brookline last night. It was a good time... though the place is so popular and hopping on a Friday night that it took us over an hour just to get a table.

(The food is TOTALLY worth it, though! I also have it on good authority that the beer selection is too...)

Have a couple of errands to take care of this afternoon... then I HAVE to start on that cellar room this weekend. Not having that space to use has been driving me batty.


And as far as my romantic travails:

Zarg:
I don't drink, and I've never been interested in quick, meaningless hook-ups. So really, the bar scene just isn't for me.
Not that I haven't tried it, too... way back in the ancient past. Hated it... and really had no better luck there than anywhere else anyway.

Plus, there's now the additional complication of sharing a pretty small house with my elderly mom. Coming back to my place with someone I just met isn't really much of an option these days...


I have decided that I'm going to do my best to not think about it for the first quarter of this year. 3 months. Seems a good period of time to try to get my mind back in order.

After that, I'll reassess as to whether or not I really want to continue along that path or not.
