*SWOON*

Too bad he lost...

Catching Up!

*STRETCH*

Wow... trying to update this from home is not easy to remember to do. With Mikey being immoble, me being WAY behind on my laundry, and my interest in my game it's not leaving much time to get my blog site updated!

So, I'm just going to do it from work. Blogger is NOT a bandwidth hog and should be OK to update from here without a problem.

I got a call from a gentleman I've chatted with from Ajilon Counsulting. Last time we talked, I wasn't really interested in leaving Eschelon and wasn't sure where I want to go after this... I called him back last night and he mentioned a QA position with one of the local healthcare facilities. He's going to get me more of the details today and I think I'm more than ready to try something else.

He also mentioned that this is an Entry-Level QA position which (salary-wise) translates into about DOUBLE what I'm making now!! That would SO be nice and I hope I can fit into that position.

So, please, keep your fingers crossed, say a prayer, or burn something ceremonially for me, ok?

Quick Update

Sorry for the lack of posts, but I'm trying to sneak this one in from work.

CM is doing well! We had a scare on Saturday night an his wound started bleeding pretty badly. We called the surgeon and followed his instructions... It stopped! Thank GOD for John (Mike's roomie)!! He's a saint for helping Mike out the way he does. Thanks John!

CM is also in fairly good spirits, but I'm sure boredom is going to set-in soon. Laying on your side all day can lose it's appeal pretty quickly.

I have lost my dogs!! I let them out to go potty and I could only find 2 abominidibble (I don't know how to spell the damn word!!) snowbeasts when it was time for them to come in... Maybe I can get to the bottom of this once they thaw out!

In my game, one of our high-school aged Linkshell members said some stoopid-ass shit about AIDS and how everyone with it should be locked up in a building until they die... I WENT OFF!! That jackass pissed me and a bunch of other people off. Apparently he also said some dumb shit the night before and caused one of our favorite members to leave the group... somehow a discussion about bi-curiosity come up and it went downhill from there. I ended up telling everyone in the LinkShell that I'm gay. Some talk to me , some don't... It's funny. It's just a fucking game!!

On a positive note, after I came out on the game, one of the other members private messaged me and said he was gay too. We chatted about shit for quite some time afterward. It was cool!

But, that was my weekend and I CANNOT WAIT until Mikey is better so I can snuggle-up with him... I miss it SOOOOO much!!

Later Y'all!

The Man!

I've somehow come out on a list at work the labels me as #3 in bandwidth usage!

I have NO idea how that could be, but I've tracked part of the problem back to Windows Media Player.

So, I can only give you entries early in the morning from home and after work... I don't want to somehow get 'let-go' because of this report that's going to the executive council. I also have informed them that their report is faulty because the company mandated upgrade to Windows XP only gie you the option to use WMP when playing CDs. It also streams data while playing, thus increasing bandwidth.

They are reprimanding people for usage without investigating the subject thouroughly. I go my boss on the rampage now and we'll see where it goes from there... for now, I'm limiting my usage at work.

CALLING ALL RESUME GURUs!!

If there is anyone out there who knows a friend of a friend who has some insight into Resumes, please send them my way.

Our company just took my boring, but essential job and made it even more boring. They locked down the webservers and now I can't get to Friendster, ANY playable games, or any site that has interesting information about my FFXI game... Of course, they kept news, sports, and job searches open... What else am I supposed to do in my downtime??? My boss can't find enough for us to do!! I work VERY hard when there is actually something to do...

So, please, let me know if anyone out there can help me get my resume all jazzed up!

E-mail me!

On Thursday

On Thursday, CM goes in for surgery to attempt to put an end to a cyst that has been causing him issues for quite some time. He'll be on 'couch rest' for 2 weeks and probably in a lot of pain.

On Thursday, CM's Mom and Dad are coming up to take him to the surgery and, most likely, stay with/be with him for the weekend. When they are here, I have limited access to CM because they don't know about me yet. They know CM is gay, but CM is fearful of the repercussions of telling them. They've threatened the take away access to his niece if he ever lives with another man.

On Thursday, I won't get to be the first, non-medical person Mikey gets to see after everything is all done. That makes me sad. What makes it even worse is that I might not get to see him until well into the weekend after his parents head back to Iowa.

I understand his reasons for waiting to tell them. I understand that having surgery and telling Mom and Dad about your boyfriend shouldn't go hand-in-hand. I understand that he will tell them when he's ready.

On Thursday, please pray/think about Mikey and also during his recovery period. I hope this is the last time he'll have to have surgery for this stupid cyst.



(Please forgive my selfish post, but I'm loving this man more and more everyday...)

HAIR!

One of you decided to get creative...



Not sure I like the pink tho...

Exhibit A

Dragonball Z hair:



Now, if it were only flame-red, bright-orange or neon yellow...

Hmmm. Maybe I should get it colored instead...

Taking Friday off

I'm taking tomorrow off and going to try and relax a bit. I'm not sure how that will work exactly because I need to do the following:

1. Get to go to the Vet with the girls
2. Get the 12k done on the Vue
3. Get a haircut so I won't be so tempted to show the world my 'Dragonball Z' hair
4. Work Out (please refer to Resolution #2)
5. Pick up some movies for the weekend
6. Get groceries

So, I got a pretty full schedule and NO CHANCE of sleeping in with the two canines involved. Oh well... They DO like naps. It won't take much to coerce one of those out of 'em!

My thoughts are with Carlos...

My roommate, Carlos, lost another Grandparent yesterday. His Grandfather on his Dad's side passed away. Carlos is not going to go back to Mexico for the ceremonies because he was just down there for his Grandmother's funeral.

I'm VERY sorry for your loss, bud.

New Year's Resolutions!

I know, I know. Tired old topic, but I figure the more people who know about the resolutions can help me hold to them when my willpower is ZERO.

1. Eat out less (i.e. bring my lunch to work except on some Taco Tuesdays)
2. Lose my belly (i don't think weightloss is the key, I need to become 'lean' somehow)
3. Spend Less/Pay off more
4. Spend more time with Mikey and my Friends

I think those are all do-able.

Did you set any resolutions for yourself?

Hmmm...

Woke up this morning a little sad, a little tired and a lot tense.

I gotta figure out why.

Doubts?

If there ever was a doubt in your mind that i'm not real...

I AM REAL!!

Just wanted to throw that out there.

Dreamin'

Alright. So a few nights ago I had a dream. I don't usually remember my dreams, but this one has stuck with me...

It was a kinda normal night and CM was leaving my house because he had to get home to do laundry.

I decide to go out to eat. I choose a place that's right next to a bowling alley. I look in the window and CM is in there bowling with Aaron, Nate and a couple other people I can't remember.

I'm a little thrown by this but want to 'let it go' so I go next door to eat. For some reason a woman from work (who I don't care for because she's stinky) and 2 men invite me to sit down and eat with them. We're eating and she's annoying me when the fat dude sitting next to me spills curry something-or-other ALL OVER ME!

I get pissed and walk out, but decide to go ask CM why's he's out and about and not doing laundry. I peer in the window of the bowling alley and he's no longer there.

So, I begin walking home (to a home I have never lived in, my mind just made it up) and felt like I was being chased. So I start running and running and I look behind me and I'm being followed by Vampires. HOT vampires, tho... (go figure)

I get to the house and come in the back door. It doesnt quite seem right and I look into the living room and see the front door open. WE'RE BEING ROBBED!!

I stand in the middle of the kitchen and yell my fool head off! Everyone runs out of the house and I wake up...

How effed up is that? My first thought when I woke up was 'Did I just yell in real life to??'

weird...

Interesting

And now J's blog is gone. So is UptownDiva...

I'm thinking Mighty was right on this one...

h.o.a.x.

And, I was a sucker... Prolly some college kid's sociology experiment.

Wow...

So, after reading J's blog yesterday I clicked on the link he added to STB's Blog site. I read the posting and decided to research Michele Bachmann.

All I can say is WOW...

I would think a woman would understand the desire for a group of people to want a set of rights and privileges that are given to every other heterosexual couple in the country. I would think she would be more apt to understand the desire for equality. I would think she'd understand that love should be the basis for marriage not gender...

I am saddened by her decisions and actions.

UPDATE: Now that I think J, STB and Uptown Diva were all just a game, I STILL don't agree with Michele Bachman... nope, nope, nope...

Happy New Year!!

Heya folks!

Sorry it's been so long since my last note-worthy post, but I haven't been too inspired as of late.

First things first: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

CM, Carlos, George and I decided to head to The Bolt and listen to My friend Richard spin. He does a GREAT job, but The Bolt was D-E-A-D! We hopped in the car and ran over to the Saloon which was happenin'. Danced for quite some time and I saw both Aaron and Mighty cutting a rug out on the dancefloor. This was my first time oficially meeting Mighty... and HOLY CRAP that dude is tall!! :-)

I had a GREAT time and maybe a bit too much to drink. I was hungover the next day, but not the tradtional hangover... just tired and sore muscles.

Met up with a few of CM's friends on Saturday to partake in the Iowa Hawkeyes game. We went to Bennigans in SLP and had a good time. Then had to run CM to the Urgent Care which kinda slowed the day down for us. I got him all drugged up and comfortable and we finished watching Return of the King -- Extended Version. (My first copy was defective so we only made it through the first disc).

Sunday was a pretty laid-back day. Went to a small 'Surprize' birthday brunch for Sahara then went home because I wasn't feeling the greatest... got a TON of Laundry done, but kinda neglected CM a bit. I feel awful for it... I apologized, but I still feel bad for being so selfish.

Hopefully, I can make it up to him. He means a lot to me and I NEVER want him to feel unwanted...

Hey Mikey: *SMOOOOOCH*
