Feeling like crap.....
You may or may not know this, but I am on drugs for panic attacks. Panic attacks blow!!!!! So drugs are happiness in this instance :). Anyway, if you are stupid enough to forget to take them, you end up feeling kinda icky as your brain chemistry will get fucked up and it's all bad. Basically you go through withdrawals....
The symptoms depend on how high a dose you are taking and how your body reacts to it, and the actual meds you are on. I have read on the net people complaining about feeling like crap if they take their drugs just an hour late (same drugs as me). I believe it cause honestly I can tell if I take my drugs late. Yet still, I managed to forget to take my drugs Sunday, and it was not pretty on Monday. It was not pretty today either. I don't think I have ever felt this crappy this long from forgetting a day of my drugs. Total suckage!
Mental note, NEVER forget to take them again!!!!!

Things I've learned from art.....
They display local art from time to time on the walls here at work. There is this one current painting titled "Spiritual Awakening".
What I have learned from this piece is that I need someone to put their hand on my head then I need to imagine a toilet, then poof I will have a spiritual awakening!
Neat huh?

Cleaning
Have you ever let your house get SOOO messy it makes you cry? I am not talking about embarrassing to have guests over, I mean you feel like you just can't live like this anymore....
I hit that point. Yesterday I just snapped, I wanted to cry the loft was so disgusting! It all started cause we went to a friends new place to pic him up for dinner. It was so clean and well decorated and perfect..... I kind of pissed me off. We are gay, why can't our place look like that?
It's not because our place is not decorated well, our place is actually rather kick ass, the problem is there was just shit everywhere!!!! So yesterday I went to down on the downstairs. I just threw everything away totally indiscriminately. I didn't care what it was. If it was in a pile obviously it was not important as it did not have a place and it was not being used or looked at.
The downstairs looks SOOO much better now. I felt so much happier about life. Now I need to tackle to upstairs because it's still in that make me wanna cry type state....

I make a good lesbian
So my freezer has been having issues.... I sheet of ice keeps forming on the bottom of it, getting thicker and thicker till the drawer wont close (I have a bottom freezer). I thought maybe the ice maker was leaking or something. I asked my lesbian friend if she knew who was a good person to call about fridge repair (always ask a lesbian for this kinda stuff). She told me this is common and its usually a clogged drain in the freezer. Did you know freezers have drains? I did not! Well they do! And after searching the next, some massive defrosting, some disassembly, I found the drain. But I still could not fully reach it! So being the resourceful man I am, I took a straw, shoved it in there and blow like an old French whore! I got that sucker unclogged and now my freezer no longer has ice build up issues!
I make such a good lesbian don't I? I even had my flannel shirt and mullet wig on!

The Comic Lounges Gets a place at Denio's
As you know we started an online comic book store, The Comic Lounge. As with any business just starting, business is a bit slow. But I have confidence it will start to pick up, we just have to show that we mean it!
So in the mean time in order to make some extra money, we got a spot at the HUGE flea market in Sacramento called Denio's. We have our little booth and stuff, it's kinda neat. We have only been there two weekends so not sure yet how well it's gonna work out. We did great one and not great the other.... I think we just need to work on merchandising! We need to WOW people as they walk by! And by this we need to have action figures in peoples faces that kids will demand their parents buy them :)
I will keep you updated on how this little adventure of ours works out.

Homo Camping!
W00t I just made reservations to go camping at a gay camping resort. I am really looking forward to this! There is a group of 6 of us going, along with whoever else ends up there (the guy takes up to 25 people).
I think it will be lots of fun. I have not camping in a while. And best of all we get to bring Coda! It will be his first camping trip :)

To the vent one last time
I take Coda to UC Davis Vet tomorrow for hopefully the last time. He is cured of his pneumonia but they are going to do a freaky test to see if he has ciliary dyskinesia. I don't think he actually has it but it is important to know just in case. And since it's a rare procedure to test for it, they are doing it for me practically for free. He will also get nuetered while there. So we will be without Coda for a few days, I am gonna miss my little guy!

SacCon
Tomorrow is SacCon, the Sacramento comic book convention. We will be going to represent The Comic Lounge and hopefully start to drum up business for the site. I am still working away on rwfnets to the site. Although we only have comic book inventory right now I really want that section to be perfect. I figure due one thing kick ass thenany things half ass. I will add other sections of inventory as te goes on.
Wish us luck!

The Comic Lounge
So......
Roque has started up a new adventure! He (with my help!) is starting up an online comic book store. The store is called The Comic Lounge. I have been working hard on the website, I highly suggest you check it out (and buy stuff!).
Currently there is only comic book inventory, but in the near future we will be adding toys, graphic novels, etc...
It's all very exciting actually! I think it really does have potential of doing well. So we will see......
Check It Out - The Comic Lounge

Trapped inside!
The handle to the front door of our loft broke off. Can't open the front door to leave! Trapped inside!!!!!!!
OK actually we can leave via the back door, but that is rather inconvenient but at least it's an option!

I am done with puppy pads!
I am totally done with puppy pads for Coda. We have our little boy paper trained. It seems like a good idea cause you don't have to go outside to let him go, but I am SICK and tired of cleaning up his shit (literally). I know I need to clean up his poop if he goes outside too but at least he can't scrunch up his puppy pads and piss and poo on the floor. That is what I am tired of cleaning up. I don't have to clean his pee outside, just pick up his poop in a poopy bag, I can do that.
So I have been starting to train him to go in the bark in the little planter area directly in front of the loft. That way I can just quickly take him out and he can do his business. Plus in the bark he does not get muddy, even if it is raining. I just have to make sure I replace bark if it starts to go away, but I can do that.
PLUS buying puppy pads is expensive!!!!!!
Anyway, hopefully this will workout good.

Coda Update
It has been a while since I made an update on Coda so it's clearly time!
Coda is doing GREAT!!!!!!!! He has not coughed in several weeks, and let me tell you, I had forgotten what it sounded like to NOT hear coughing. He has been sick for SO long.
We had an appointment at UC Davis on Tuesday for another checkout to see how he was doing. They took x-rays of his chest and the vet says there are no signs of active pneumonia anymore. YAY!!!!!!!!!!! He is down from 3 pills twice a day to 1 pill twice a day. And if you have ever tried to give a puppy pills you know how much that rocks.
We have one more appointment next month and if the x-rays come back the same or better, then he will officially be considered cured from this crazy pneumonia. yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is SOOO happy now, seriously, its so good to see him feeling good and this happy.

Holy Crap!
Um someone opened the flood gates. It is not only raining like crazyness, there is sustained wind of 30mph with gusts up to 60mph right now.
I am working form home today because I choose not to risk my life on the freeway, I have been hearing sirens almost non stop since I woke up. It is total crazyness.
The power has flickerd a few times and I lost power for aobut 30 seconds once already. Luckily I have underground power so I almost never lose power, the fact that it went out for 30 seconds is something....
Total crazyness!

Puppy updates
Coda is back at the vet hospital. He is not in very good shape, he has pneumonia that wont go away, it is clearly immune to the antibiotics he has taken so far. The only other step is to do a scope of his lungs where they can check for foreign bodies and take samples from deep in his lungs to find out exactly what bacteria he has so they now what drugs to give him to finally cure him.
He goes under tomorrow morning for his procedure, I really hope he comes through ok! I miss my little guy!

I seriously had to leave early I was so fed up I was gonna go postal. THEN I got a call from work on my cell. Mind you when I say work I mean a group at the company I am no longer associated with and they should not be bothering me all day long nor should they be calling me at home with their problems.....
So ya, thank god yesterday is over and today is today. And they better not ask for my help today or else I may crack again....

WTF?
WOW it has been a super long time since I last updated my blog. Clearly I totally suck!
Well my family and me went on said cruise and it was WAY fun. I am not addicted to the cruise. I wanna go on more, and more!
The vet after doing some crazy expensive procedure was finally able to diagnose his cough and he is on the proper antibiotics for it. He is doing MUCH better. He can actually sleep now without waking himself up by coughing. He does still couch a little when excited though.
Roque and I have decided to open up a web/design company on the side to make a little extra money. We have already one one website and are about to start on another. YAY, go us!
Work is work, the end.
And it's Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yippy!

West Sacramento Firemen are hot!
How do I know this? OMG cause I had to call the fire dept that is why!!!!
I was on the couching watching a movie with Roque, I smelled what I thought was BBQ. I found that a bit odd as all the windows were closed but I stopped thinking about it. Then someone rang my doorbell to tell me my air conditioner was on fire. Now my AC is in the back but my neighbors is our front. And yes, there was a fire out there! The bark around his AC unit was totally on fire!!!!!
So I got the hose out, put out the fire, pulled the breaker on the AC unit so it would not stay on and called the Fire Dept. I wanted to make sure the fire was not in the walls or anything of the like. They came out checked things out. It was all good. They were all rather hot.
I managed to get a hold of my neighbors to tell them. I kinda feel sorry for them as it is supposed to be in the triple digits this week, I hope they get that sucker fixed soon....
It's a bit freaky though. What if no one was home?!?!?!?! Our building could have burnt down!

My baby has a cough
Poor Coda has a cough. He has had it for some time now. Even after two weeks of antibiotics he still has it. So the vet gave me a prescription for some stuff to help open his air passages to hopefully help him. We will see. I have not tried it yet as I had to go to the pharmacy to have it filled and they were out of stock. So I get his medicine tonight. Everyone keep your figures crossed, I want my baby to be better!

This morning it was cold, windy and rainy. While I was on the freeway driving to work I came upon a truck. In the bed of the truck was this poor dog. It's cold, it's raining, and your on the freak'n freeway!!!!!!! Do you honestly think your dog is enjoying this experience?
Needless to say the dog did not look happy. That owner needs a smackdown.

Laying Tile in the Bathroom
Well the project is almost totally complete!
The entire downstairs is now covered in the new floor. The only place not done, is the closet under the stairs. Roque doesn't want me to bother, but I am totally going to eventually. But what is most important is that every area were people actually go is done.
I also was in the mood to play with some video editing so I got my Bob Villa on and taped the process and made a little video. Enjoy!

Habitat for Humanity
This morning are team at work decided to do Habitat for Humanity as a team builder. It is was a good idea and Habitat for Humanity is a great organization. However the task we had today was evil!!!!
We were digging trenches for foundations and for plumbing. We do not have soft soil here in Sacramento, oh no! You have to hack away with a pic axe and it's slow and painful work.
In all it was fun times, but it was very hard work. I am finally starting to get a little bit of dexterity back in my fingers.
Since the work site was close to home I went back home afterwards took a shower and now am working from home. Yippy!

I have made a decision
I have decided to start swimming again. You may not know this but I used to swim competitively in my youth. Back when I had zero percent body fat and worked out 21 hours a week.
Anyway I was swimming but when I bought my Loft I could not afford it anymore. However now that I am a fat cow I have decided I need to exercise again and I want to swim again. I will find a way to pay for it even if I have to turn tricks (OK not really but hehe).
I just ordered all new swim suit and goggles, cause my stuff is no where to be found, not to mention I am too fat to fit in my old suits anyway.
I can't wait I am so excited!

I'm a lesbian trapped in a gay mans body
This weekend was IBR. Was I there? Nope I was at home installing new flooring. I am a total lesbian. The loft looks SOOOO good now! I am so glad to be seeing that damn concrete floor disappear.
I don't have any pics as I am not fully done yet, but when it's all the way done I will totally post some pics :)

Staying in the loft
I can't fall back asleep so I will just blog right now :)
Life has been crazy the past few days. We "un-bought" out new house. Which means we also took the loft of the market. We have decided to stay. There are many reasons why, one of which I don't wanna say cause I don't wanna jinx it! But basically it would be stupid to move right now. The market is pure crap and really we are sitting on a gold mine. This neighborhood is going to grow so much and this loft will be worth insane amounts of money in the near future, why sell it when it's at it's lowest possible value....
So ya, but there will be a few changes, most notably we WILL be installing hard wood floors immediately. I know people think concrete floors are cool and they are all trendy right now. But let me tell you something, people only think that cause they have never actually had concrete floors. Concrete floors totally blow. It doesn't matter what you do inside (paint, furniture, blah blah) your house always looks like a warehouse. We must soften up the downstairs.
So ya, stand by for pics of the loft in the near future :)

Coda Update
Coda is such a good little boy. He is finally obeying commands and he is almost understanding to use the puppy pads. If he is downstairs he knows to go on the puppy pads. However if he is upstairs he does not seem to realize he should go back downstairs to go on the puppy pads. But we are almost there!
I gave Coda a hair cut this weekend. He looks SOOOO cute. I must say I am getting good at this hair cut thing. The first time I was not so super successful but this time he came out really good. Who needs to pay a groomer 45 bucks to got your dogs hair, not me!

All shiny and clean
As you know we are selling the loft. It hits the market tomorrow so I took today off to do some last minute touch ups. And by that I mean I steam cleaned the carpets today. It's not "that" bad of a job but it's certainly tiring. Anyway my carpets look amazing! All pet stains gone. I even bought a little steam cleaner to do the stairs and also to clean up after Coda when he has accidents, which he still has cause he is stubborn. I am convinced its not cause he doesn't know better it's cause he does not care. He is testing us. OH but we will win this battle!!!!

Coda Update
I never thought I could love a dog so much. I was totally on the fence before I got Coda. I was never much of a dog person having been attacked by a group of dogs at a young age. But I finally caved to husband and got him Coda. And he is the best thing ever.
Training him has been a pain in the ass. But we finally are getting somewhere. He sleeps in a kennel at night in our bedroom, and during the day he is confined to a room that has puppy pads in part of it so he can do his business since we are at work so long he can't hold it all day. He is doing really well, he always goes on the puppy pads and never anywhere else in his room. This pleases me. But I don't think he is ready to be set free, plus when the loft goes on the market he needs to be kept confined, we don't want packages on the carpet when people come to see the place, nor do we want him getting outside on accident....
Coda was a bit freaked out on his first new years cause the sound of the fireworks, which are done right by my loft. This will also be true for our new house, and they do fireworks ever week during baseball season at the stadium so he better get used to them!

Rent-A-Cop power trip
OK this pissed me off nicely the other night. I went to pick up my buddy at the airport last night. It was him, his wife, and his little baby girl. I drive up to the loading zone, and he is there with a few bags, but his wife, kid and more bags are still inside. I put his bag's in the car and he says he needs to get the rest. Then the jack ass rent-a-cop tells me I am not allowed to wait for him, he has to have all his bags at the curb when I pick him up. And he forced me to get back in my car and drive around and come back.
KISS MY ASS RENT-A-COP!!!!!!!!

I am never selling a house again....
Selling your house totally sucks! You have to paint all your walls, you have to steam cleann your carpets, you have to remove 2/3 of your furniture. You basically have to make it look like no one lives there, even though you are still living there!
Well almost every wall is painted now. But it still look like a bomb went off inside with stuff piled everywhere in preparation to be packed and moved to the storage unit.
I never want to do this again.....
I hope the loft sells in like two days....

WTF have I been?
Oh My JESUS! It has been SO long since I blogged the cookie for my Movable Type log-in had expired! So here we go, here is a very condensed version of what has happened that has caused me to be a loser when it comes to blogging. We are going from oldest to most recent, here we go!
Panic Attacks
The main thing that has fucked me up in the past month is REALLY bad anxiety and panic attacks. Those who don't experience this problem can just never really understand. When you are having a panic attack you honest to God think your dying. No, you KNOW you are dying. It is NOT fun and there is really nothing you can do about it. And when you are SUPER anxious 24/7 you can't function. You can't function at work, you can't eat, you can't sleep. Life just blows!
I have had problems with this in the past, I used to be on meds for it, but I got off the meds but it was starting to come back slowly and them on day WHAM, the universe bitch slapped me and I was fucked up again.
And you know the most fucked up part? Once it's finally SO bad that you make an emergency appointment with a doctor begging for meds again , the damn meds take at least a month (if not two) to actually start working. That is fucked up
Anyway, I am fine now. Meds have kicked in I am calm cool and collected. WOOT go drugs!
Allergies
At about the same time as the panic attacks I was having bad allergies. Like the kind where you break out in hives all over and your lips swell and you are generally NOT a happy camper.
I finally went to see an allergist and I am on Allegra and I am good. Allegra ROCKS!!!!!!!!!
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving this year ROCKED. For the first time EVAR my hubby Roque was included as part of the family. He was actually invited to Thanksgiving dinner. I almost fell over when he was invited. I was SO happy. My family has really been doing a 180 on the whole gay thing. I am hopeful now about it.
Selling my Loft
You read that right. I am selling my loft. Roque and I went to look at some model homes (just for fun) and we totally fell in love with one of the floor plans. I slapped a deposit down on it that day. We love the loft, but it's time for a spare bedroom and a two car garage! But this is NOT suburbia, this in still REALLY close to downtown Sacramento and is in an urban infill development, go high density urban housing! It's gonna ROCK
Buying a house
So obviously since I am selling the loft, we are buying a house!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It wont be complete till July(ish) but we are selling the loft now to save up some money. If anyone wants to buy a loft close to downtown, hit me up!
The new house rocks by the way. It's a two bedroom, has a huge kitchen, two car garage and a super living room with vaulted ceilings which we love. We can't wait to move in.
Work
More details to come on this, but let me just say some serious shit may be happening....

VOTE
Go out and VOTE! It's time to take back our country. And if you think voting does not matter, you are wrong. Your voice must be heard. If you don't vote then you have no right to complain about the state the country is in right now.
TAKE BACK THE COUNTRY!

Good Bye AT&T
OH, and let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. I hate AT&T, or rather I HATE SBC who bought AT&T and therefore I hate AT&T. My phone at my new loft has NEVER worked. They refuse to acknowledge the fact even though I have has several techs come out and prove it is their fault. This caused me to pay for a year of DSL I could not use cause it did not work, yet I was not allowed out of my contract cause my phone line was "working fine".
OH and I used to work for them and I REALLLY hate them.
I have had Vonage now for a long time. However I have kept my AT&T line for my alarm system. Although I don't know why cause when it rains I lose dial tone, and I am surprised when the alarm goes off it can even dial the alarm monitoring service. Well last weekend I took my Vonage line and ran it into my entire house. Now ever phone jack is Vonage and I even ran my alarm into my Vonage line. I tested it by setting off the alarm (after warning them first) and it made the call just fine. So I cancelled my AT&T line.
YIPPY! NO more satanic phone company!!!!!!!!

Coda update
Coda has been a really good boy. He does still have accidents from time to time. But only when we are not watching him closely. If he is in a confined space, or leashed to something he does not have accidents. However if we let him roam free he will run up the stairs and go pee on the carpet. He needs to learn that even when he has free rein of the house he needs to tell us he needs to go outside and not just pee on the carpet. But he is a puppy and he still needs some training. It's hard to stay angry at the little guy for more then a few seconds.
Also, I think the cats have been trying to frame him by pooping on the carpet. This may have been a result of their litter box being dirty and not just malicious behavior on their part, but you know cats, they have their own little hidden agenda.....

What type of intelligence are you?
| Your Dominant Intelligence is Interpersonal Intelligence |
 Good at seeing others' points of view, you get how people think and feel. You have an uncanny ability to sense true feelings, intentions, and motivations. A natural born leader, you are great at teaching and mediating conflict. You would make a good counselor, salesperson, politician, or business person. |

Coda update
I am so proud of my little boy! He is learning lots. Most importantly he has learned to go to the bathroom outside. We walk him before work and after work and he goes then. He has not had an accident in the house in several days. This makes Roque and I happy beyond words!
He still likes to struggle sometimes on the lease (I attribute this to him having A.D.D), but he is still a good boy when we walk him. He gets along really well with other dogs. He is the best puppy evar!
Who knew I would become a dog person, cause I did not used to be, but Coda has turned me!

World, say hello to Coda
Everyone, I want to introduce to you our new baby. His name is Coda, and he is a 6 month old Lhasa Apso puppy. He is the cutest little guy EVAR!
I took Friday afternoon off and went and picked him up from the breeder. He had a traumatic afternoon. After playing with him and his brothers I finally picked him. But once he got in my car and I turned on the engine, he kinda freaked out and shit himself. Then when we started moving he shit himself again. Yippy a soiled puppy in my car for an hour long drive home! He was a good boy though, he stayed still and I had him wrapped in a towel. I managed to get no icky on my car!
When I got him home obviously he went straight to the bath. Thus further traumatizing the poor little guy. But I got him all clean, then towled him off. I took him downstairs to the bathroom (which is gonna be his room). I set him in the doggie bed and he proceeded to ignore more. Every time I laid next to him, he looked away. He was not happy with me. But then Roque came home and he livened up a bit. He did some exploring of the downstairs. Then we took him next door to show to our neighbor who also has a Lhasa Apso puppy. The to puppies played, it was so cute.
This morning we took Coda for his first walk. He had never been on a lease before, and he did resist but he did a really good job for it being his first time. He was having fun playing around in the wet grass.
I think this is gonna be a fun adventure with our new baby boy!

Bad Cooking Experience
I am just gonna say this one thing. Caramelized sugar on the bottom of your oven is a VERY bad thing. I'm not gonna say how it got there (although I did not do it) but it was there, a VERY thick layer. And when you try and use said oven, smokes comes out like there is an entire forest on fire! This sets off smoke alarms, suffocates you, and general is not a good thing.
I managed to get a significant portion of the evilness out of the oven, and disconnected the smoke alarm right next to the kitchen. All the windows are open, and I think I have the smokiness down to a level where I can hit the self clean button and burn the rest of the sugar to HELL!!!!!!
I need a kitchen cleaner, but alas I am not rich....

Geocaching, the new crack?
Well geek crack anyway....
My group at work did geocaching as a team event this week. I had never done it before. In fact before this team event I have never heard of it before. It was a TOTAL blast! And aside from being real fun, my team won and each one of us won a Garmin etrex GPS!
Well now that I have a GPS I have to use it! Today after work I found my first geocache, it was really exciting! I am hooked. I need to get the bike mount for my GPS so I can ride the bike trail and find more!
Must...find...more...geocaches....

Where was I on that horrible day......
Lets start this story a week or so before 9/11. Me and three friends were about to do the Canada to US AIDS Vaccine Ride Sept 5-9, 2001. The ride went from Montreal Canada to Portland Maine and was a 400 mile long ride. The goal (like all AIDS rides) was to raise money and awareness for AIDS and HIV. This particular ride was more focused on raising money for AIDS vaccine research.
After an AMAZING 5 days on the road we arrived in Portland Maine, tired but incredibly happy. Doing one of these rides is amazing because of the sense of community and purpose. It really is like living in a small Utopian society for the duration.
On Sept 10th my buddy Adam and I flew home on a late flight. Our friends Tina and Tania who were going to go home with us decided to stay an extra day in a bed and breakfast. Adam and I arrived home at almost midnight on Sept 10th.
Rather then drive all the way home I spent the night at my parents house because it was way closer to the SF airport then where I lived. I remember waking up the next morning, still totally high on the experience and turning on the TV. And there it was, unfolding right in front of me! One of the towers was on fire. Apparently someone had flown a plane into it. I got out of bed and went into the living room where my parents where, they two were watching the horror on TV. Then there was footage of the second plane hitting, and eventually the towers falling.....
I couldn't believe after experiencing such an amazing event were people got together to help those in need, that this, something so horrible was happening....
My friends Tina and Tania who were still in Maine were trapped. All air traffic was stopped in the United States. They had to rent a car and drive all the way from Maine to California. And not only that, since they had not planned on such a thing, they had no cloths! All you have room to bring on these AIDS Rides is cycling cloths and maybe 1 or 2 pairs of real cloths to wear at night. Luckily they were not on one of the hijacked planes, but it did take them a good week to finally get home.

Concrete Care
Roque and I live in a Loft. I bought a little over two years ago. One of the "cool" features of the loft is that it has concrete floors. This is supposed to add to the whole industrial feel of the place. I admit the are kinda cool. However all they did was polish the concrete, other then that it was bare concrete. And bare concrete does not look cool for long. Over the past two years we have watched the floors get all nasty and stained and just icky. I had decided I wanted to just put some other type of floor over the concrete and stop looking at it. Alas my bank account said no.
This weekend Roque and I went all super crazy and decided to make the concrete floors look bad ass. We did this buy first moving all the furniture. We then stripped the floors and made them uber clean. Then we sealed the floors with an acrylic sealer. They are smooth and shinny and most importantly totally sealed and stain and dust proof. OMG the floors look nice. THIS is how the yummy industrial floors are supposed to look. I am happy now, and the best part is it only costed us like 50 bucks.
Go concrete floors!

Bowling fun
I work for a large company. I mean a LARGE company. I work in a city called Folsom and my company has a campus there. Yes a campus. We have 7 buildings and about 7000ish people. Anyway, once a year we have whats called the Folsom Site Games. This year I got suckered into being on a bowling team for the site games.
Tonight was the first night of bowling. My plan was to have our team lose so that we only have to play tonight and Thursday and then poof we are eliminated. Remember that episode of South Park where the kids keep trying to lose in little league so they don't have to play anymore, ya that was us.
But we all got into the competition and we were totally on a roll and by the end of the night our team had the highest score. We are so totally going the distance!
Go bowling!

I am so butch and stuff
I got my lesbian on today. I had to do a little rewiring in the loft. All of my networking equipment (cable modem, wireless router, etc...) were in my utility room. The problem with this room is that it gets really hot being that it vents to the outside. The cable modem does not really appreciate the heat and causes it to not work right. However, I have satellite TV so every cable coming into the loft has satellite on it so I can't hook the modem up to it.
The only solution was to run some cable into my loft for the modem. The easiest place to run wire from the utility room is the kitchen since they share a wall. I decided to drop a cable line and a phone line above my kitchen cabinets. So I cut a hole in my drywall, put in a box, and put a plate with coax and a phone jack.
Now in my kitchen above my cabinets I have my cable modem, my wireless router, and my vonage adapter. The phone jack I installed goes back to the utility room so I can run my vonage phone line back into the main phone box and run it throughout my loft.
So ya it was a fun experience, this is why home ownership rocks, you can do this crazy stuff!

Guerneville Hooker Bear
We were in Guerneville over the weekend. We were camping/working. We went to The Outback campsite to help the owner create a bonfire pit for LazyBear Weekend. It was LOTS of hard work, but it was fun at the same time.
Anyway back to the funny story at hand. We went to the grocery store to pick up a few items. While we were pulling into the parking lot we saw this rather hot bear just sitting outside. Of course we both totally stared, I mean he was rather woofy!
After we bought out stuff and got back in the car, we noticed out woofy bear was still sitting outside. As we drove past him leaving the parking lot we looked at him again. But this time, he was ready for us. He put his hand up his shirt like he was rubbing his chest or something (thereby exposing his furry belly, WOOF!). And as we drove by Roque says he also grabbed his crotch. He was totally trying to pick us up.
He shall forever be known as Guerneville Hooker Bear! Hot!

So over fourth of July my hubby and I went camping. Our friends from San Diego got this camp site that is in between us and them. We had SOOO much fun.
We arrive at the site really late, like 10ish. It was totally dark and we put up our tent by lamp light. It was totally fun! The rest of the weekend we just chilled. It was so fun to see our friends again, it's been a long time!
And we are camping again next weekend, total craziness! We are camping machines!

The curse of the long torso
I am not a tall person. I am about average height. But there is one thing that makes it hard to find cloths that fit, and that is that I have a long torso. It means shirts I buy are always too short, and pants are always too long.
Normally this is annoying but you can still find shirts that are tall and pants you can just got off or some crap. But cycling gear is a totally different story. Apparently EVERYONE that has ever cycled and that will ever cycle has short little torsos. No one makes long cycling jerseys. It is a hugely annoying problem. Because generally I am left wearing a jersey that does not fit and my tummy shows when I stand up. I really hate it.
Today I went a quest to find jerseys that fit me for the AIDS Ride. I had to by jerseys that are XXL. WOW, OK so they are a smidgen baggy but damn it they cover my tummy. It will feel good to not be constantly pulling down my jerseys to try and cover my tummy.
Yippy new jerseys!!!!!!

Chain mail in dough form
I was given Amish Friendship Bread today. Basically it is a chain letter in dough form. You take this packet of soon to be bread, take care of it for 10 days, you then turn it into 4 amounts of bread, give 3 away to other unsuspecting victims and then make the 4th portion for yourself.
So ya... I was tagged today....

Yippy yesterday is finally over!
Yesterday sucked monkey balls. I should have known it would be a bad day from the get go. I rode my bike to work yesterday so that means I packed the night before. I get to work and realize I forgot to pack my belt. This is bad because I brought jeans that were too big and they literally fall to my ankles when I walk. So I had to be all white trash and tie my pants tight with a string.
It all when down hill from there. It was the worst day EVAR at work. I was ready to go completely postal.
But since I have a 26 mile bike ride home I was able to release my tension and I was actually in a good mood by the time I got home.
Still, I never want a repeat of yesterday...ever!!!!

Poor Kitty.....
We came home from the bar Saturday night and when we got home, there was a dead kitten in front of the loft. Why did a poor kitty have to choose our loft to die in front of? I have no idea what happened to it, it had a head injury.
Is it a bad sign to find dead kitten at your door on Easter? And animal control does not work on Sunday so they would not come take it away. But apparently the CHP will take away dead animals, so they got it sometime Sunday.
Poor little kitten, it's life was too short. I hope my kitties did not watch it die through the window, cause they were funny that night, Gizmo stayed hidden all night, we could not even find her until we opened up some wet food and she finally came out.
This is why my kitties are indoor kitties, I need my children to be safe, specially where I live it'd to dangerous.

It's Wedding TIme!
Yesterday ROCKED! And you want to know why? Cause Roque and I totally got married yesterday! So why I never mentioned this before? Well it was a secret. Roque and I cooked up this little scheme a while ago. We kept wondering when was a good time to get married and we also wanted to keep it small and not that big of a deal (and not that expensive).
So our plan, was to have a party, a cocktail party! Where all are guests were blissfully unaware and already dressed up (cause you have to dress nice to a cocktail party!). 
And what better day to have a "cocktail" party and spring a surprise wedding then April's fools.
Our cocktail party was good! And about an hour into it we sprung the surprise. I revealed to the guests that they were in fact not at our cocktail party, but at our wedding! Our friend Rachelle performed the ceremony. We exchanged vows and rings. It was a good ceremony. And now it's official, I have a husbear!

There is no breaks in thunder, just continues sounds of thunder! It is the coolest thing EVAR!!!!!!!

I finally gave my bike a name....
I have had my bike for a good seven years now. It has been with me through two AIDS Rides and it's about to take my on another AIDS Ride. All this time I have never given my bike a name. I have always just referred to it as my baby.
Well I was on a bike ride on Sunday and it hit me, the perfect name for my bike. So now my bike has a name! My bikes name is.... (trumpets please).... Serenity. OK so that makes me a total SciFi geek but whatever, it's the name I have chosen and I am sticking to it!

Tired
I did not sleep well at all last night. And on top of that I had to wake up at the butt crack of dawn to make it into work for a 7am meeting. I am tired. The end.

Ikea is down the road from me!
Last week (March 1st to be exact) Ikea opened in West Sacramento. This Ikea is literally down the road from me. I can't believe I live SO close to an Ikea. I used to drive all the way to Emeryville to go to Ikea.
The hubby and I went this weekend to the brand new Ikea. It was completely crazy crowded. They had insane traffic control, that frankly kind of pissed me off. So we should have been able to drive down the street and then turn left and poof be at Ikea. Nope they have EVERY direction into Ikea closed off except the freeway. AND to top it off it was illegal to do a U turn at EVERY intersection so we had no way to turn around so we could get into Ikea.
Then after finally turning around and getting in the correct lane to turn into Ikea, we waiting in our car in the MASSIVE line of cars to find a place to park. We went around the entire building, past the parking lot and ended up parking in this office complex (that is like next door to my house) and we had to walk to Ikea. But once there, it was cool. I love Ikea, there are just so many things I want to buy!
As much as I love Ikea, I am not going again until the crowd thins about a bit. I am dealing with that parking traffic nightmare again.
GO IKEA!

Don't you dare steal my life!
This is the second time this has happened to me in my life. The first time it seems someone manufactured a fake card, with my number and their name on it. It's true cause I have impressions of the card from some of purchases. That was a total mess, it took almost a year to sort that one out. This time I also have no idea how they got my number cause I have my card, it was not stolen.
The world may never know. What is important my awesome credit card company spotted it and told me, and now it's all taken care of!

mmmmm memories of college
Anyway i have not ridden my mountain bike in a really long time and it is totally reminding me of my days at UC Davis. For those you that did not go to UC Davis, Davis is the bike capital of the universe. No seriously, I am not kidding! There are more bikes the citizens in the town of Davis. Everyone rides everyone in davis. Campus is crazy and filled with bikes. Naturally when I was there I rode my bike everywhere. In fact when you live in Davis it gets to the point where you don't know how drive to places cause you only know hot to bike there on bike trails....
Anyway, I am just rambling, cause riding my mountain bike around rather then driving just reminds me of being in Davis.

Believe in Jesus
Once I was done with my homework I left and started to walk towards the parking structure. As soon as I left the student union (where the get together was) there were these guys handing out cards saying "one get out of hell free card". And then I heard one of them say (to a group of Indian Women) "believe Jesus!"
I can't even express how much I hate bible thumping bastards like this. The totally set up shop outside the union cause they knew there would be a large gathering on non-christians. I wanted to smack this guys. Why can't they just shut the hell up and leave people alone!?!?!?!?!
I almost screamed "I am a flaming cocking sucking homosexual!!!!" but I did not. Although it probably wold have been priceless......

In Training!
Well I am away on business this week. I am taking a training class and now I am in the silicon valley. Like the idiot that I am, I totally forgot the power supply to my laptop. Normally this would only be a slight problem since that laptop lasts a good 4-6 hours with the battery. But my battery is bad, it lasts like an hour. In fact the battery looses juice even with the laptop is fully turned off!
SO here I am, bloggin from a workstation in my training class. Where there is a will, there is a way people!
I do admit i am going through some withdrawls, I can't exactly look at all my normal blogs here in the class cause that would raise some eybrows, cause lets face it, we homos have a tendancy to post some slightly inappropriate things...
OK back to class or some junk. Hope everyone is haveing a good week!

Some Tahoe Fun!
While we were driving up I was suprised by the lack of snow, but while we were ther a massive storm came in and dropped about 2 feet of snow. It was SO cool. We played in the snow, made snowmen, had snowball fights. It was good times.
Here are some pics of the fun!

What did you do for new years?
Satruday (new years eve) I woke up feeling like death. We went to Disneyland bright and early because Roque was afraid it would be sold out or something. We did most of the rides we wanted to do and left the park a little after noon. I need to lay in bed and die a bit. At 7 we went back to the part and stacked a claim we could watch Fantasmic (I was determined to see Fantasmic even if it killed me). Luckily it was not raining during Fantasmic. After Fantasmic there was a fireworks special, it was cool. We left the park and went back to the hotel. I overdosed on Nyquil and passed out. I woke up at midnight long enough to see the ball drop and kiss Roque and then pass out again.
Sunday I woke up, feeling less like death. We had breakfast and drove back to Sacramento. It was raining the entire way, but it was an OK drive. Finally we got home and I passed out on the couch.
How was your New Years?
Oh and by the way. Even though I was dieing from Ebola, Disney was super fun! Fantasmic was amazing! I am glad I finaly got to see it. But best of all I got to spend New Years with my hubby!

shopping spree!
I just finished a mad shopping spree for assorted gift cards during my lunch hour. And it was pooring rain and I am not wearing a water proof jacket today. So they best appreciate these gift cards.
Yes I am totally uncreative when it comes to gift giving. But whatever. The poeple that I really care about were taken care of a long time ago. This is just the rest.
Can you believe that Christmas is so close? It's crazyness. This will be the first year I don't go home for Christmas. I will be going to Roque's mom's house. I can't wait. I'm not really in the mood to spend time with my family. They have failed me one to many times over the years. None of them even talk to me anymore. They all probably think all this family drama is my fault. That since I am the gay one I should suck it up and let them treat me like less a person and not say anything. HAHA, screw that! I'll just not spend my time with them!
So you all you out there. Have a good time spending the holidays with your loved ones!

Super Funtastic Weekend
I would have posted this monday but monday was a craptastic day, so anyway.....
This weekend ROCKED! Two of our friends T&T came to visit us from San Diego. We go and visit them every summer, and hit the beach and stuff. They have yet to actually see the loft so clearly it was their turn to come visit us!
This weekend was also our second annual christmas tree decorating party. Yes I said christmas tree, not holiday tree, that is just stupid to not call a christmas tree a christmas tree!
Saturday I picked up my friends from the airport then we drove to go see some mutual friends that live nearby and have lunch with them. Then we got back and started to prepare for the party. Sunday we finished up all our preparations and waiting for the guests to arrive. It was lots of fun having all our friends over.
Monday we said goodbye to our friends as they went back to San Diego and I went back to work.
Super fun weekend!

Sausage
I bought a new jacket yesterday. Two main reasons 1) the cats kinda destroyed my jacktes and 2) I am too fat for my old jackets. The new jacket I bought was XXL. I almost cried.
So next week I need to hit the gym, for real this time! I have already started to bring lunch to work rather then eat out every day, and that will help with the diet.
I am tired of being all packed into my cycling jersey like a sausage. Time to take charge here!

I have my bathroom back!
I am so happy! Now that my kitties are happy again I was able to get rid of the second litter box in the upstairs bathroom. We also took this opportunity to do a little redecorating in that bathroom. We have a nice teal and mango color scheme going on, it looks SO cool. And really the best part is being able to stop out of the shower and not stop on kittie litter.
It really is the little things in life :)

Kittie Update - They are happy again!!!!!!!
Well this weekend we had a breakthrough. Binkie just decided it was time to go downstairs. So she came down. Mind you she was a bit skittish, and she was exploring like it was all brand new. Gizmo was SO excited she followed Binkie around everywhere she went. This of course annoyed Binkie and she eventually got pissed and went back upstairs. But this was not the end of it, she came down several times.
I am so happy, I think my children are finally going to be ok!

I survived another Thanksgiving
Ok saying that I survived Thanksgiving may be a bit melodramatic. I actually had a really good Thanksgiving. This was the first year I did not have Thanksgiving with my parents. As you know if you have been reading this site, there has been major drama between me and the parents this year. So this year I had Thanksgiving with Roque and his family. It was a really good Thanksgiving.
I hope all my readers out there had a good Thanksgiving as well!

My birthday present to my self :)
Ever since we moved into the Loft I have been talking about how I want a big massive fish tank on one of the walls. Well my parents gave me just enough money to make me go out and buy one. So yesterday while "just looking" at the pet store, I bought a brand new 60 gallon fish tank. It fits perfectly on the wall its on. I can't wait for it to get stabilized so I can start putting fishies in it!

Riding the rails
I think I am going to like this!
***UPDATE***
Since it was asked, work provides free shuttle service from the station to the office four times a day. Twice in the morning and twice after work.
As for getting from the station to home, that is a bit more interesting. Currently Roque is dropping me off and picking me up. I may start to walk but there are some rather iffy areas to be walking in the dark.

We FINALLY have a bed!
Friday night Roque and I went bed shopping. We figured it was time, screw cost, it was simply going to happen. See what has kept us from buying anything before was that we needed a platform bed. And Cal King platform beds are NOT cheap. Well we found one and it was yummy looking and it was way good price, so we bought it. They gave us free delivery at that very second, and we went home and immediately put it together and slept on it that night.
We LOVE the new bed. Its MUCH easier to get in and out of and it really makes the bedroom look complete. Just check out the nifty photo!

Kittie Update
I am not sure what to make of it. I really want Binkie to start going downstairs, but I am not sure when that will happen. What if it never happens? I would think they are both still young enough to get over this kind of thing. But in the mean time I am forced to keep a litter box, food, and water both upstairs and down. What a pain!

Last night I was elected onto the board for my HOA. I am now the secretary! I am not to worried, we have a really cool HOA. Our HOA consists only of our 10 lofts, we only have 3 board members and our meetings are totally chill. We all get along, we all party together. I really love were we live! I am lucky to have such cool neighbors.
Anyway I should probably find out what my responsibilities are and stuff.

Where to buy your USA-GAS
I got this in my email. It's a short breakdown of how many barrels of middle eastern oil different companies buy, it also lists which companies don't buy middle eastern oil. It's something to think about. We could be doing our part to bouycot their old just buy switching gas stations.
WHERE TO BUY YOUR USA-GAS
Why didn't George W. think of this? Gas rationing in the 80's worked even though we grumbled about it. It might even be good for us! The Saudis are boycotting American goods. We should return the favor. An interesting thought is to boycott their GAS. When you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more $ into the coffers of Saudi Arabia. Just buy from gas companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis.
IT'S FRUSTRATING to think that every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends. I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle Eastern oil.
These companies import Middle Eastern oil:
Shell............................ 205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco.........144,332,000 barrels
Exxon /Mobil...............130,082,000 barrels
Marathon/Speedway..117,740,000 barrels
Amoco............................62,231,000 barrels
Do the math: at $30/barrel these imports amount to over $18 BILLION! (oil is now $55-$60 a barrel)
Some large companies that DO NOT import Middle Eastern oil:
Citgo......................0 barrels
Sunoco...................0 barrels
Conoco..................0 barrels
Sinclair...................0 barrels
BP/Phillips............ 0 barrels
Hess.......................0 barrels
ARC0.................... 0 barrels
All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and each company is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing. But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers. It's really simple to do. Now, don't wimp out at this point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!! I'm sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers !!!!!!! If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it ..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next eight days.

Sigh, I got tagged for a meme
OK well Ben tagged me for a meme.
The instructions are: List ten songs that you are currently digging...it doesn't matter what genre they are from, whether they have words, or even if they're no good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now. Post these instructions, the artists, and the ten songs in your blog. Then tag five other people to see what they're listening to.
The songs:
- Feel Good Inc, - The Gorillaz
- This is how a heart breaks - Rob Thomas
- These Words (I Love You) - Natasha Bedingfield
- Mr. Brightside - The Killers
- Infatuation - Christina Aguilera
- Flawless (Go to The City) - Goerge Michael
- Filthy / Gorgeous - Scissor Sisters
- Bouldevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day
- Pump It - Black Eyed Peas
- Beaverly Hills - Weezer
Now I have to inflict this on 5 others.....
Tag you're IT: Scott, Jay, Erik, Jeremy, Roque

Kitty Therapy
Anyway, while Roque was there he also had a chat with the kitty therapist. She said what we need to do is not let them see each other for 3 weeks, but let them smell each other. How does one do that you ask? Well you get two kennels and place them back to back with a board in-between. That way they can smell each other still, but can't see each other. In theory they get used to each other again but don't get all freaked out because they can't get attacked and can't see each other.
I can't afford two kennels (jeebus the vet costs are enough!) so we decided to put them int he bathroom upstairs. There is a door between the vanity area and the bathroom. We will put one on either side. Then you place the food and water on either side of the door so they are forced to go to a place where they can smell each other.
I really hope this works, I want my happy kitties back!

Kittie Update - #2
We got very little sleep last night. The children kept us awake. They were just generally unhappy campers. Gizmo keeps growling at Binkie, then Binkie gets pissed and starts growling back. They can't be near each other right now. The few times I did manage to fall asleep last night I was woken up by cats fighting and hissing and being generally annoying.
I am not sure why Gizmo is so freaked out, she is not the one that got hurt, Binkie seems to be mellower about the whole thing.
I left then this morning both on opposite sides of the room. I think more then anything they are both tired and fussy, but they won't sleep because they both are on alert waiting for the other to attack or something..... Roque said he is going to call the vet and see if they have any advice. And before you say it, no we can't separate them cause we live in a loft and we have not rooms and therefore no doors to close.

Kittie update
Well here is what happened. So apparently both our kitties some how got themselves stuck in the bathroom closet. How they did this I have NO idea, but they did. Binkie somehow got her paw stuck in a wire closet shelf that was being stored in that closet. We have no idea how long they were like that but they were both totally freaking out, Binkie especially. Roque managed to calm her down and pry her paw from the wire shelf. But her paw was all messed up and one of her claws would not retract.
Roque took Binkie to the emergency room. They took x-rays of the paw and found that Binkie had in-fact dislocated her finger. So the reset it, but I guess it was not wanting to stay like that. But the vet said that cats have a crazy wolverine like ability to heal themselves and that she would be fine, but wants to see her in a week to see how she is healing.
Anyway As I type this Binkie is lying next to me, he paw is swollen but she seems OK. So I am really relieved cause I was freaking out at work when Roque called me.
But the weird thing is that now Gizmo is acting REALLY weird towards Binkie. If they get close Gismo will his all crazy like then run away. Not sure what that is about. Clearly she is a bit traumatized from what happened today, but not sure why she is acting out towards Binkie.
Anyway, it seems all will be good.

Show me some skin!
So I am wearing a shirt today that has the buttons in what I would consider to be an odd place. It's one of those shirts where the top button is really too high and you don't like to button it, but the next button is just a bit to low and it's like you are showing off a bit too much skin/fur. You know what I mean? Does anyone out there feel my pain?
Well I don't have the top button buttoned because it's too high, so I am showing off some fur today. :)

Weird dreams...
I have been having some weird dreams lately. Maybe it's because I have started to come of the anxiety meds or something, who knows, but I have been having them.
Last night I had this dream that me and some others (I can't remember who) were capture by this large corporation and taken prisoner. They then faked our deaths so everyone thought we were dead. Somehow we managed to escape and we were running around the main complex (which includes a massive shopping mall) trying to find the main power core so we could blow it up and bring down the whole operation.
Well before I woke up we never actually found that darn main power core, so we never got to blow the shiz out of the place.
What the hell was that dream all about anyway?

Oh Daddy!!!!!!!!!
Serenity is clearly going to be the best movie EVER! I got to see the trailer before the Batman Begins movie, and it looked SO good. I am really glad that they are expanding the River character more. She was slowly starting to become really interesting in Firefly before they canned the show. But they showed several scenes of her kicking some serious ass!
Did this post make any sense? I wrote it while in bed watching TV. But whatever this post was just a means to post pics of super daddylicious Adam Baldwin.

so why the hell is someone as cute and young and nice as Katie Holmes agreeing to marry him? Did he brain wash her with his cult stuff? Katie for the love of all things hetero don't marry him!
I am highly upset by this news. Tom is a nut job, he is not that cute, he is a cult member, and he is clearly gay! Oh Katie, what happened to you!

New sunglasses
I bought a new pair of sunglasses today during lunch. This is a big deal for me because I rarely buy new sunglasses. See I am a bit of a sunglass snob. I wont buy sunglasses unless they are super nice, glass lenses, and polarized. And honey, those are not cheap!
But I have had my old pair for a long time now and through the years they have been dropped a few times and they are starting to get a bit scratched. I figure it was time to replace them.
My new glasses rock. They are a bit more gay then my last pair, but not too gay, cause I don't want to look like a flaming queen I just want to look stylish and cool. If I had a camera phone I would post a pic, but alas.

Yippy! no more pain!
I went to the dentist yesterday to complain because apparently he connected one of my new fillings directly to the nerve and I couldn't drink anything that was not body temperature and not have extreme amounts of pain. I don't like pain.
Anyway he tried a few things that did not help so he ended up just removing the filling and doing it over again. And let me say, it's nice to be able to drink room temperature water without extreme pain again.

Plumbers Crack
I was all butch and plumber like last night and I installed a new toilet in the upstairs bathroom. The only one sucked. Stupid California and it's water conservation crap. Can I just say that if you buy the cheapest toilet on the market that only flushes with 1.6 gallons of water, it will NEVER work right.
I got all high tech and I bought one of them toilets that has a pressurized tank so when you flush you get super high powered flushing action. It rocks!
Now I can finally go to the bathroom upstairs instead of walking downstairs every time! What a concept!

Answer time!
OK so here are the answers to your questions:
From Jay:
1 - When was your first sexual experience?
I am not going to admit to the age here cause it makes me seem super pathetic. But it was with an ex of mine (no we did not have sex while together). He hooked us up with the executive suit at the water front Hilton in Huntington Beach. It was all yummy goodness, MUCH better then having an awkward time in the pack of a car (well in my opinion anyway).
2 - Favorite pizza topping?
um...SAUSAGE!
3 - Top or Bottom?
Top, I have tried to bottom but it just don't work, I honestly don't understand how guys do it!
4 - Person you'd like to spend a night in the Holodeck with?
Man that is a tough one, I am going to have to say Tim McGraw.
From Scott
5 - What's the last movie that scared you so much you couldn't sleep?
Movies don't really scare me that much, but I would have to say watching 13 ghosts in the dark did kinda set me on edge.
6 - If I were coming to your house for lunch, what would you fix me?
I make a killer hamburger, and if your a vegetarian, well there is something wrong with you.
7 - What part of your body do you like the most?
I have nice shoulders (I like to think anyway)
8 - If you had to be a woman for 24 hours, what would you do with your day?
Have sex with hot straight guys.
From Keith
9 - What is the best & worst feature about your loft?
Best: massive open space.
Worst: I have like a million square feet of windows facing south, WAY too much sun
10 - Re: you relationship with Roque, would you say that "you are two peas in a pod" or "opposites attract"? And Why?
I am going to have to say a little of both. Sometimes it's like we have the same brain, but we handle situations differently. I am a typical Libra and am just laid back, he is a total Leo and is a bit drama bear (don't hit me honey :-)
11 - If you had access to a plane and private pilot for one week, what two places would you like to go to most?
Rome and see the coliseum and Hawaii cause I have never been!
12 - What is your most favorite holiday?
Halloween, cause it's a low stress party holiday.
From Jason
13 - What is the most romantic thing that Roque has ever done for you?
One Valentines day he picked me up outside my apartment in a horse drawn carriage. Ya, that can't be topped.
14 - If you had 24 hours left to live what would be the first 2 things you would do after freaking out?
OMG I have no idea.
15 - What would be one thing that is important enough to you personally that you would like to see changed about America?
I want the religious right to get out of power and stop using religion as a way to limit rights of citizens (IE us homos).
16 - What is the one word that can sum up your life?
spontaneous - like most Libras I can't make decisions so I never plan anything I just do things. If you find me randomly across the country at a bar, I probably decided to do that that morning.
From Ben
17 - What was the last (non-school) book you read?
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azcaban (well I am not totally done yet)
18 - What celebrity do you most resemble?
I don't think I look like any celebrity, do you? Although back in college in the dorms one guy kept saying I looked like Pete Sampras, but I don't really see that.
19 - What is your typical Starbucks order?
Whatever does not have coffee in it, I hate coffee (Ben you should know better then asking this).
20 - Which is more important: thickness or length? Explain your rationale.
If its too long I gag......

I got tagged for a meme
Well my buddy Scott tagged me to do this 20 questions meme. SO here is the deal. In my comments my readers will ask me 20 questions. Each person is only allowed to ask me 4 questions. Once I have 20 questions I will shut down the comments. Then later on in another post I will answer your questions honestly and truthfully.
OK? now....GO!

Early morning commute drama
On the drive to work today (while in stop and go traffic) I looked in my rear view mirror and noticed a rather heated discussion happening in the car behind me. It was what I can only assume to be a couple. The girl was driving and the boy was in the passenger seat. Then I noticed that the discussion seemed to have stopped. The girl started crying. Then I noticed the guy started crying.
So what happened? Did I witness a breakup during my morning commute? Was it just a fight? Did they find out there dog died?
OMG I want to know so bad! I will never know so I guess I will just have to make up a story, or better yet, you guys make up a story for me and leave it in the comments.
Yippy a fun comments game! :)

Yippy!!!!!! and ewwww.......
So I went to the Dr and got my test results today. I am totally clean of all nasty boy disease, most importantly I do not have Hepatitis B which I was exposed to. So we are all happy and stuff.
There is a down side though. My Dr basically told me I am a fat cow and my cholesterol is like one billion! It's amazing I a not dead. So basically what this means is I am not allowed to eat anything that tastes good ever again.
Yay me!

I hate the dentist
I went to the dentist today. I really hate the dentist, he is associated with much pain.
OK first, I have 6 cavities. They are small, but still, super lame!
Second, who else hates the part of teeth cleaning where they use that nasty torture device to clean UNDER your gums? Um ya, that is like super pain. And my mouth was a pile of bloody sore spots after that. I wanted to cry.
But at least I get to go back in 2 weeks and have my SIX cavities filled, what fun!

A little bit of shopping
So Roque and I went looking at cars on Sunday. And what can I say, we walked a way with a brand new 2005 Ford Escape!
I must say it's a really cool car. We wanted an SUV for just doing things like going camping and skiing and what not. But also I am kinda against SUVs because they are kinda pointless, most don't really need one. But the Escape is a small SUV, it provides us with the utility purposes we require but it still gets good gas mileage. SO we are both very happy!

Pierced Ass anyone?
A guy I know (who is a total hottie btw) just got his guiche pierced over the weekend. I got to see the full photo collection of the process. Ya hot. I personally would not do that particular piercing, but there is something about seeing a guy bent over on his knees, neked, and a man with clamps working it that is kinda kinda hot!

My new job!
Well I got convinced into being the new webcub for the Sacramento Valley Bears. I figured it would be fun. And I have massive plans for the site. My plan is user interaction. I am creating a forum so people can communicate. I am also going to create a user login area where users can access to members only information. I also plan on moving membership data online to make the transition between membership chairs easier.
I present the new design (phase 1) to the board tomorrow night. I hope people like it!. I hope to have phase 2 (the members area) done soon.
I'm excited!

New Years Resolutions
Well I guess it was only a matter of time before I posted the list of new years resolutions:
- Bring lunch to work (I have been eating out EVERY day at work)
- Ride my bike, A LOT
- Hit the gym regularly
OK that is basically all I have. THe main bulk of my resolutions is to make sure I get in shape for the AIDS Ride this year. I only have like 5 months of hard core training left! Having done one of these rides before I know what I did wrong training wise last time so I intend on correcting that this time.
As for the brining lunch to work thing, I spend way too much money eating out. So my friends and I at work have all decided to pick just one day a week to eat out, the rest we are brining lunch from home.

Happy New Year!
Happy new year everyone! I hope you all had a fabulous 2004 and I know you will all have a fabulous 2005!
2004 was a super massively huge year for me. SO much happened I can't even remember it all! I bought a house, I moved in with Roque, we adopted two kittens. It was all just craziness. But the best part was that I got to share the entire year with my hubby! And I get to spend the entire next year with my hubby, that is what rocks.
So to all you peeps out there, make this year a good one!

Mysterious Illness
Recently a really good friend of mine has fallen ill with a totally random affliction, Guillain-Barre Syndrome. It's kind of scary because it can happen to anyone at anytime. And it really messes you up. He can barely get around. He can't drive, he is working form home. But he is lucky because people can be far worse them him and end up on a ventilator because they can't control the muscles to breath anymore. Luckily this strange illness has a tendency to leave as randomly as it comes, and 80% of people make a full recovery. Since he does not have it too severely I am hoping he will be OK soon.
I may have referred to him before on this site as my straight boyfriend. We here at poweredbygay wish him and his family all the best, and we send him as much positive energy as we can in hopes of a speedy recovery.

I am such a dumb ass
As I may have said before (or not) the heater is not working in out place. So I called and made an appt for the guy to come look at it. This means I have to stay home, IE work from home. Well it seems in all the confusion and stress involved with writing the paper for school, I left my work laptop at work. So when I went to bed last night I realized there was no way I could work from home the next day. So what did I do? At 5:30 am I drove to work (30 miles away) got my computer and came home. Took a shower and waited for heater repair guy to come.
But on a happy note, the heater works now!

Thanks Giving fun
Did everyone out there have a good Thanksgiving? Well I know we sure did.
Wednesday Roque and I had our own little thanksgiving feast at home. It was good, he made his mom's famous stuffing and it was really yummy. It was good to spend thanksgiving like that together.
On Thursday (the read thanksgiving) we both went to our respective families for Thanksgiving dinner. It was yummy, I got to eat lots of super yummy food.
After thanksgiving both Roque and I came home and just chilled at home together, it was fun. We also did something neither of us had done before. We woke up at 5:30am on Friday to hit the Walmart at 6am. They were having a killer deal on a fake Christmas tree and we needed one. So we could not pass up the deal. It was a super white trash ghetto experience. It was kinda fun in it's own messed up way, but I don't think we will be doing that again.

Must Resist Urge!
I just came across this article. I know not all of you out there are car people, but I am. Not only am I a car guy, but I am a total VW guy. But right now I really need to resist the urge to go out and buy one. I don't need it! I am still in the process of making my current Jetta all kick ass. It is also my goal to keep my car to at least 200,000 miles.
I am not allowed to ever visit the VW dealer again. If I do I am afraid I will walk out with the new Jetta

I am SO lukcy
I am the luckiest person ever. I accidentally left my iPod on my desk at work last night. There have been problem with stuff getting stolen off desks around here. And an iPod would be a pretty good score. I was freaking out this morning when I went to the gym and did not find my iPod and realized what I had done. Luckily when I got to work it was still there on my desk. Clearly the would be thief did not realize what he could have had. Anyway, must remember NOT to do that ever again!

Good Hair Day
I'm having a good hair day today. I like having good hair days, it makes me feel good. I am actually doing something I have NEVER done before. I am growing my hair out. I have always kept my hair nice a short, but I decided it was time for a change. I wanted to see what it would be like if I grew my hair out a bit. Not long mind you cause I HATE long here. But long enough were I can do some type of actual style to it.
This plan could be a good or bad thing. I have curly hair. And the reason I have never grown my hair out is cause it usually gets way too poofy if I let it grow out. But I am under the care of a trained professional stylist, and she has been sculpting my hair as it grows so it never looks too nasty.
I must say its coming along good. The poofyness has not been to bad. But I have to admit I HAVE to wear product now. There is just no way around it. And since I go to the gym in the morning before work, I have to wear a hat cause I am not going to the gym with crappy hair, nor am I going to style it that early in the morning.
In all I am liking it so far. The experiment is still underway though. We will have to see how long I grow it and how it looks. But for now, I am having a good hair day today!

Naughty Leather Prisoner
I have my costume for this Halloween all planned out. I am going to be a prisoner. But clearly my prisoner outfit needs a little gay kick right? So I am going to be a naughty prisoner, a naughty leather prisoner! So if you are fortunate enough to see me out at a Halloween party, I will be wearing my orange jump suit (unzipped) and my leather harness, and a black jock strap.
Happy Halloween everyone!

Kick Ass
Well it has finally happened. After 9 months of living in the loft with no window coverings on the upstairs windows we finally have window coverings. This may not seem like a big thing to most of you but what you do not realize is that the front wall of the loft faces south and has windows 30 feet high and about 20 feet across. So the amount light that comes into the loft is kinda aggravating. Trust me, that much direct sunlight is bad. And the other issue is at night, there is a street light right outside so it's totally bright inside even though its night. But now we will finally be able to sleep in the dark!!!
And not only that but my hubby rearranged the place and it looks SOOOO good right now. I have no eye for that kind of stuff. If it was not for him I am sure the place would have all white walls, nothing hanging anywhere and the worst furniture ever conceived. I don't know what I would do without him.

In Arizona
Well I am here in Chandler, AZ. I just finished giving my class. I finished presenting like 2 hours early. This group of people were really easy. No one asked any questions really. And the final part of my class which is a lab, we did not do because no one brought their laptops. I am fine with this actually. It makes it nice and short. I think I should just go back to the hotel and chill now. They are making me leaving tomorrow at 5am and I have to work tomorrow to cause I am schedule to give more training back home from 4-5. Grrrr..... this boy needs some rest time!
But the one thing that keeps me going is that tomorrow once work is all done and over, I get to be in the arms of my man :)

I'm off for a few days
Well I will be leaving in about an hour on a business trip to Arizona. I will be back Friday morning. It should be an interesting trip, I have never been to the Arizona site before.
The one annoying part is the flight there. We are no longer allowed to take commercial airlines due to cost cutting, so we have to take one of the company jets. And they only have like 1 flight a day to where I wanna go, and it returns at 5am. Ewww, crappy schedule if you ask me! But it should be kinda cool cause I have never been on one of them private jets before.
I will say that I am going to miss my hubby immensely. It just does not feel right not having him next to me. But Friday night I will be back in his arms!
Anyway I will have internet access so I will probably blog from there cause I will be bored out of my mind in my hotel room with no car to take my anywhere.

Birthday recap
Lets fast forward a bit now. As my birthday fun plans dictated, we went camping over the weekend. It was me, Roque and our friends Heath and David. We went camping up at Sly Park. It was lots of fun. It was rather smoky on Friday because of all the forest fires and stuff, but Saturday it started to clear up. We had camp fires, walks in nature, and just sitting around and chilling. It was a great weekend.
When we woke up Sunday it was raining. But that was ok. I admit packing up your stuff in the rain and shoving all this wet crap in your car kinda sucks, but it was all good. The weekend was so great no little amount of rain could possibly have spoiled it. So we packed up and drove home and hit up a dinner on the way home. I had the best breakfast EVER there. WOW it was good.
In all I have a killer birthday! I can't wait to go camping again. It was Roque's first time camping ever and he liked it. As far as I am concerned that is a green light to start planning camping trips for the future!
Now onto the important things, PICTURES!

Take this Job and shove it
If the economy did not suck and there were actually jobs out there, I would have quit today. I am pissed. Management is not acceptable, and nothing is being done about. And really why should they bother, it's not like we can quit, there are no jobs elsewhere.
Yup today is one of those days where I am just a few steps short of going postal.

The Next Level
Well Roque and I took one leap forward in our relationship, we just opened up a joint checking account. I have never done that before, kinda freaky. Mind you we are not totally combining our money this account is just for bills and house expenses, we still have our own money.
It's cool, I am excited about this.

Shameless promotion of oneself
As some of you may or may not know I have signed up to do the AIDS Life Cycle Ride in June of 2005. As part of doing the ride I need to raise money. This time around the minimum donation a rider needs to raise is $3,000. I however has set a personal goal or raising $5,000. I am not entirely sure how I am going to pull this off, but I am sure I will figure out a way. But to make it easy for people to donate, and also to see how I am coming along pledge wise, I have created that nifty little box to the left. It even has a convenient link to click to donate! How nice of me.
Anyway, the game is on. I have to get in shape, raise money, get my bike all tuned and perfect. So if you could find it in your heart to donate a little for this worthy cause I would much appreciate it.
So, in summary, Donate often!

Homogay bowling with the token straight boy
Every lead I had fell through so I failed in finding a bowler. Roque on the other hand managed to round up a fifth bowler, and get this, he is straight! So our new bowler used to work for Roque back when he managed the downtown restaurant. This new guy, John, is a really nice guy.
Last night was his first night on the homo league. He seems to have lots of fun. I know we sure had lots of fun bowling with him. Of course he is young and cute so he is totally fresh meat so we need to keep the guys off of him. I am sure his girl friend would not want all those homos hitting on him.
Anyway, finally we have a complete team!

Hello officer, want to come inside?
Roque and I totally got hit on by a cop the other night. We were coming home from Walgreen's and we were about to walk in the door of the loft when a cop pulls up in his patrol car and says hello. We turn around, my first thought was that maybe I got tagged for something in my car. But then he just started talking to us asking how we liked the loft if we thought the neighborhood was nice. He was hot by the way.
Anyway it was not till the next morning that we thought that he was probably hitting on us. Although a friend of mine brought up a good point, he may have been looking for a place to live and just wanted to see if it was family friendly neighborhood and or if there was family around. Anyway, maybe he will talk to me again!

1 year of happiness
Today marks one year since I met my hubby, Roque. It has been the best year EVER. I have never been happier then I am with him. I honestly don't know what I did to deserve meeting someone like him but I am darn glad I did.
I woke up this morning and there was a present on the bathroom counter. He got me a little gift for each of the 12 months we have been together. It was so cute. I had to run back into the bedroom and give him a big hug and a kiss!
I LOVE YOU ROQUE!!!!!!!!!!

Brand new TV
Well over the weekend my brand new HDTV died. Most likely it was not a total failure mind you, I am sure just the bulb burnt out. But still, I only had the TV for 3 weeks and those bulbs are supposed to last for about 10,000 hours. So it's kind of disheartening when something like that breaks.
I called the sales rep that sold me the TV yesterday and she immediately made arrangements for me to bring back the TV and pick up a brand new one. So I borrowed my brothers truck last night and took back the broken TV and picked up a shiny new TV. Yippy I have TV again. It sucks when your TV is broke, I mean how the hell can you watch Tivo?

Look at the birdie!
Today was my first day back at the gym in a week. I needed some healing time to let my new PA heal. I was looking forward to today cause I was going to be able to show my shit off in the showers at the gym. But there was no one in the showers, and the one guy that was there never even looked. How disappointing is that!?
Oh well, I guess we can't have men staring at our junk all the time.

Some new jewelry
Well I did something on Sunday that I always swore I would never do. Something that I only thought freaks and masochists do. What is this crazy thing that I did? Well on Sunday after a fun day of rafting down the American River with the bears I headed to American Graffiti (the local tattoo/piercing place) and I walked in and said "I want a Prince Albert". Yup you read that correctly, I got my wang pierced.
I have always thought that a PA is super hot. I however never even considered getting one, I mean it involves having your wang pierced! That is metal, going through your wang! Can you say ouch? However everyone says it does not hurt, and that the benefits WAY outweigh the 1.2 seconds of pain involved when they perform the piercing.
I met my piercer, Zoe. She was really nice. I asked her a bunch of questions just to make sure I knew what I was getting myself into. My main concern was healing time. I am the best man in my brothers wedding Sunday and I don't wanna be walking around in pain and/or bleeding through my tux. I was assured I would be fine by Sunday and the bleeding usually stops after a day or two.
I dropped my drawers sat down on the table and Zeo figured out where to make the piercing and marked the spot.. Next thing I know it was done. Yes for the split second they break the skin it does kinda hurt, but then its over. It really does not hurt afterwards, unless you fiddle with it. So as long as you leave it alone so it can heal, it does not bother you at all. Yes there was bleeding involved, and it was kinda gross. In fact when I went to work on Monday I had to wrap gauze and a latex glove around my wang so blood would not soak through my pants (cause that would be embarrassing at work).
Tuesday I was able to go to work with no gauze or latex glove cause the bleeding had stopped. I still have to wear briefs not boxers cause you don't want stuff moving around and rubbing cause that aggravates the piercing and it does not feel to good. But in all, it's all good. I can't wait till it heals and the soreness goes away and all that is left is the yummy funness of the piercing!
OK so some people have asked me why I have not posted pics yet.... For one, my site is heavily indexed by Google and I don't want pics of my wang indexed on Google. That is really the only reason. I don't have a problem showing it off, I am proud of it. Having said that, yes pictures exist they are just hidden and not linked anywhere. If you really wanna see it, email me I can give you the link.

Interesting
I got this from Crash. I think the results are fairly accurate.
eXpressive: 7/10
Practical: 4/10
Physical: 5/10
Giver: 6/10
You are a XSIG--Expressive Sentimental Intellectual Giver. This makes you a Teddy Bear.
Hee! I just want to give you a big squeeze. You are tender, honest, generous and fair. You are an excellent kisser and a sensitive, communicative lover, and you know it. You would never intentionally hurt someone's feelings or overstep his/her boundaries. You have beautiful eyes.
Most people take your laid-back attitude, blazing wit and subtle sexiness and stick you in "friend." But some see your extreme hotness for what it is and latch on. This means you have a few members of your target sex in the bank at all times -- I call this "money in the sex bank" -- but you're too sensitive and thoughtful to exploit them. More than once.
You are so rational and deliberate in an argument that it can frustrate and exhaust your partner. Your fights can take forever, but your press on with them until they are completely resolved and both you and your partner are satisfied. If your partner is weak of will, s/he may just give in -- be wary of this! An emotional or passive-aggressive outburst later will hurt and horrify you.
It is *critically important* that you are able to respect your partner. The moment you lose respect for him/her, you lose everything.
When you make friends, you make them for life -- you can go without speaking to a friend for years and pick up right where you left off. You are completely faithful, both physically and emotionally. You are the second best (to XPIG) parent of any type.
If you are male, you have a huge shlong. Just saying.
Of the 2939 people who have taken this quiz, 10.7 % are this type.

Words of black vomitous ooze
I just can't win. It seems as though I open my mouth and I piss people off. I don't mean to, but apparently people misinterpret my tone and my words and get all pissed off at me. But fear not I think I have finally figured out the optimal solution. I am going to go t my doctor and have my vocal cords cut. I mean hey, if I can't speak I can't possible offend anyone with what I say! So from now on I will only be able to communicate via text, thank god for this blog!

Our Family
Roque and I were cuddling in bed and the kittens came up, one of them got up on Roque's chest and laid down. Roque said "I love our family".
You know what, I love our family too.

My straight boyfriend is HOT

Ya! Take it straight boy!
Today my buddies and I at work went to the local Chipotle to get us some burritos. While we were in line waiting to order I noticed the yummy straight boy. I them saw him shove this huge rolled up soft taco in his mouth. No he did not take a bite of it, he shoved the whole thing in. I was like "DAMN, now there is a straight boy that needs to be gay". I had to mention this to my friend, he laughed cause when the straight boy did it a second time he saw. Wow, the things you see when out at lunch.

Best weekend ever!
This weekend marked the birthday of my boy! He is official 31 years old now, and does not look a day over 25!
Friday night after he got off work he went out with friends and did some drinking. I did not go cause I was feeling a bit icky, but he still had a good time so that rocks. Saturday we spent most of the day in bed cuddling and doing other things ;-). Saturday night we went out and Roque got himself nicely sloshed. So Sunday Roque spent much of the day sleeping on the couch, while I cleaned the loft. Then Sunday night we went to a BBQ at my buddies house and got to relax in his new spa. It was good times.

EEK!!!!!
SO yesterday my next door neighbor rings my door bell all distraught and sort of crying. Her loft had been broken into yesterday. And she noticed my back door was open (which is how they got in hers) and wanted to know if I had been hit as well. Luckily all my stuff was still there and my door was still locked.
Our lofts are designed so there is a utility room. There is a door from inside the loft that leads to the utility room, and there is a door that leads outside from that room. My outside door was open, but my inside door was still locked and closed.
But that is freaky! My back door was open, why did they pick her loft and not mine? I do not know full details but I will say this. After playing with my outside back door yesterday I noticed it has a tendency not to latch closed. I though it was closed but I could still pull it open. So the question is, is that what happened to my neighbor? Did they think their outside door was locked, and did they not have the inside door locked cause they thought the other one was locked?
At any rate I put in a call this morning to the alarm company to have my alarm monitored (which it currently is not). It should be installed July 8th. But that is SOOO far away, I want security now damn it! OH well I guess I will just have to wait. And always make sure my doors are locked and stuff.

The last few days in recap
Friday:
Friday was actually a long day, but it was a fun day. After work I (and others in the homo organization at my job) volunteered to work the phones at a pledge drive at the local PBS station. We actually had a really good time. Since calls come in waves (during the pledge breaks) we got to just chat and have fun during the shows.
I did have one mean old lady tell me to go to hell though at the end of one of my calls. She was having issues hearing me, and I was trying to be loud without shouting at her. Anyway after all was said and done, and I got her money, she told me to go to hell. I only have one thing to say lady, if you are that hard of hearing, turn your phone UP!
Saturday:
Saturday was a day I mostly just chilled at home. Ben and I were going to go to Slumbear but we did not know the address so we could not go. Luckily he called one of his friends who just happened to be there and told us how to get there. It was fun. We had BBQ there but did not stay too long. We were not gonna spend the night. Ben join the Sac Valley Bears I was gonna join but I lacked funds so I will join later. After we left Slumbear, Ben and I rented Brother Bear and watched it. It was a cute movie, worth renting, but be warned it is a wanna be Lion King
Sunday:
Roque and I went back to Slumbear in the morning before breakfast so we could pay our money to get out tickets for Great America with the Sac Valley Bears. We then went to Costco and bought some supplies. Then I just vegged all day and it felt good.

I'm here!
Sorry for the lack of posting, I just haven't really had anything to say. And on top of that I Have been sick the past few days so I have just been sitting on my couch watching Tivo.
This weekend there is a big party called Slumbear put on by the Sacramento Valley Bears. It's the kickoff party of the summer, it’s a 24 hour party at some members house. It should actually be kinda fun, I can't wait to go. I also found out that the SVB's go to Great America the Monday after Pride and I am taking that day off anyway so I think I and my boy will have to go to that. Since I did miss gay day at Great America a few weeks ago.
Are kittens are doing really well. They are all healthy now and running around and being all mischievous now. I think we have solved the litter box issue. Since they are small and can't always make it back to the litter box, we strategically place litter boxes throughout the loft. They are using all of them and no messes on the floor. So we let the have free rein of the loft last night. Their first night not locked in the bathroom. I could hear them running around all night long. I love kittens. I was actually kind of amazed they never climbed up onto the bed with us. They just played with each other all night.
Anyway, I will try and blog more I promise, for now I need to get back to work.

Kitty hospital
Our loft right now has been turned into a kitten hospital. Both of our kitties are sick. Roque took them to the vet today. Gizmo had a fever of 103 and Binkie had a fever of 101 (normal temp for a kitty is 99).
Both kittens have respiratory infections and Binkie also has a urinary track infection. That would be why she is peeing everywhere.
So right now we have to give both of them antibiotics twice a day and also eye drops twice a day. They really don't like taking either, but we gots to get them better so we make them do it.
I just took a nice hot steamy shower with Gizmo. The vet said all the steam would help with the congestion. And it did, she just curled up in the corner of the bathroom on a towel and fell asleep, she was not all wheezy or anything. I think it made her happy.
I figure they will both start to be feeling better in a couple of days. I am sure Binkie will be feeling WAY better when she can start to pee again. I think it hurts her, that is why she tries to P every 5 seconds but only ends up peeing a small drop.
anyway, peace out.

Life with our new children
Our kittens rock. They are SO cute and cuddly. There is one minor (read huge) issue at the moment. One of them (Binkie) has some serious bladder control issues and just pees wherever she is standing rather then going to the litter box. Not much that can be done about this. She is still really young and doesn’t have proper bladder control yet. The vet says they should be getting their bladder control in a few weeks. For now we are isolating them in the bathroom near the litter box. This way they don’t have to go far and they start getting used to going there all the time.
Other then the peeing everywhere issue, they are cool. They will jump up on the couch and cuddle with you while you watch TV. They rock. They are our children and we love then…even though they pee everywhere.

All moved!!!!!
FINALLY! I can finally say that my apartment is now officially totally empty. All my crap is now in my loft. Of course this means my loft now looks like a bomb went off in it, but that is something I will just have to deal with later.
Several things I plan on doing within the next few days. 1 – Buy a brand new computer. 2 – Get kittens! The kittens I plan on getting this weekend. Roque and I are going to the shelter to go save some cute kitties from being killed. The computer I think I may just buy today. Best Buy is having 0% financing for 2 years so it’s time for some serious computer shopping retail therapy!
It’s so nice to be in my loft. It hardly feels real though. I actually own that place. It’s mine! Freaky. It’s also really nice to have Roque living with me. It makes me happy to wake up next to him every day!

I’m still here!
Sorry I have been super busy with buying a new loft and all! I don’t have internet at the moment so I can’t blog from home and I have been slammed at work so I can’t blog at work. But here I am letting you all know I am alive, and to give a small update on what is going on.
As of last Friday I have been sleeping in my new loft. I have no blinds, or window coverings which makes it interesting because my entire front wall is windows and it is DARN bright. Luckily Roque is in the process of hanging drapes. Which frankly kind of scares me cause the windows he is covering today are about 30 feet in the air I sure hope my man does not kill himself. It freaks me out, I am glad I am not there to see it and be all worried.
I have been slowly moving crap in. I have a new moving strategy this time around. I am moving the things I need to live and everything else is getting tossed. Currently I have my furniture, my TV and my stereo at the loft. The satellite dish is put up, as far as I am concerned everything I need to live is there!
None of my cloths are in the loft, which is starting to be problematic because I wake up, take a shower and need to drive to my apartment to get cloths for work. That will change tonight cause I am brining my cloths over. I need to borrow my brothers truck to move my dresser. I plan on being moved out of my apartment by the end of this weekend.. Roque needs to be out of his apt by the 26th.
It’s still kinds of surreal that we are moving in together. I have never lived with a boyfriend before, but I am excited about it. I know that he is the man for me so why not wake up next to his beautiful face everyday?
Anyway when things get organized and the chaos has subsided I will take pictures and post them.

I HAVE MY LOFT!!!!!!!!!!
Well the one thing that I though would never actually happen, happened! I am allowed to live in my loft! After closing escrow and getting my keys 10 days ago I am finally allowed to move in. Let me tell you, having your closing date pushed back sucks (it happened to me a couple times), but actually closing and getting your keys AND then being told you can’t move in cause its not up to fire code is just pure lameness.
But lets not dwell on the lameness of it all. Now is the time for painting, decorating, moving and living in my NEW LOFT!!!!!!!!!!!

Those Regis Home Beotches
I am pissed at Regis Homes again. I still am not allowed to live in my loft. Every day they tell me it should be all taken care of “tomorrow”. Lies, all lies I tell you. They should just tell me the truth and say it will NEVER happen.
I swear I should just buy a house, live in it, sell it for a profit, and by then my loft should be ready to move in.

Car update
Well my car will be coming back from the dead. The service rep called me yesterday afternoon and confirm what I already expected to hear, the serpentine belt tensioner failed. But his exact word were “it failed and melted”. I love that, it melted.
Anyway, its kinda expensive to fix, and they still have not looked at any of the other issues I asked them to look at. I am hoping by the end of all this I wont have to pay too much money. But it is my baby, and I love her and I commute every day so I want my car running good.

Today already sucks major
So it’s now 11am, I just got to work, finally. I had to have my car towed to the dealership cause it’s currently busted and can’t be driven. That was nice happiness to find that out this morning. SIGH, so it costed me $140 to have it towed to the dealer (cause it’s FAR from my apartment), and my rental is about $70 a day cause they were out of all the cheapie cars. And God only knows how much all this is gonna cost me to fix. Could this be any worse timing? I just closed escrow on my house last week and I am suffering from a complete lack of funds.
Basically what this means is that all the money I had saved up to buy things for my loft, is going to be spent on my car and I wont be able to afford jack shit for my loft That is just fucking great.
I said it before and I will say it again, today sucks!

I got my keys!
So I got my keys today!!!!! I am not allowed to live there, but hopefully if everything goes well I will be allowed to live there this weekend. But it's all good cause I am still allowed to go inside and do stuff like paint. So Roque and I spent the entire afternoon painting. And if I do say so myself, my loft is looking DAMN good!
Still more painting to do, but we are well on our way. We should be done in no time.

Loft update
So here is the situation. I do get my keys tomorrow. However since the sprinklers are not up to code and not certified I am not allowed to move in. So I have a key, to a loft I can't inhabit.
On the plus side though, since I do have the key I can still have my appliances delivered friday. I also was not planning on moving in till the 15th, but then again that is cause I was gonna spend time painting first. So now I may have to push back my move in date a week. We will just have to see.
So tomorrow I have my walkthrough and get my key to my loft I can't live in :)
Oh and supposedly they said it should be ready in a week. We will see.

I'm gonna swear A LOT in this post
So,...those BITCH ASS MOTHER FUCKERS at Regis Homes just screwed me. I was supposed to close on May 4th and get my keys. I have been excited about his for a LONG time. I have been in the process of buying this loft since October. I already have the delivery of my appliances scheduled. And today, this morning in fact I get a call from my agent telling me there is a problem. Seems those slack jawed, dumb-asses kinda sorta forgot to have the fire department certify the fire suppression sprinkler system in the building so no one is allowed to move in. Hence I don't get my keys on tuesday.
Back, up, lets think about this for a second. I remember singing this contract saying that if I was a slacker and a dumb-asses and delayed closing of the property I owe them $120 a day until I get my act together and finally close. It sure must be nice to be them and have no such accountability and be able to delay delivery of the property till whenever they hell they feel like it.
So basically as it stands now I can't move in. There is no date of when I will be allowed to move in. So I have no idea, when I will get this loft (which I have already paid for by the way).
So, Regis Homes, this is me flipping you off.
FUCKERS

1 week and counting
Yesterday I had my first walkthrough for my loft. We made sure everything was working, I flushed all the toilets and stuff. Basically everything in my loft was about perfect. There was a few spots where the painted needed to be touched up but other then that all was good.
Now I just have to wait a week till my second walk through which is May 4th. Then on the 4th I get my keys!!!!! This is going to be the longest week EVER.
Also today during lunch I bought my washer, dryer, and fridge. They all get delivered May 7th. Once I have all that the I can like totally live there and stuff! Or at least wash my cloths and not have to worry about needed quarters anymore.

I walked into my very own gay porn
So for lunch today I stopped off at Burger King. It was just there on the way home from closing my loan so I stopped cause I was hungry. Jesus Christ, the entire place was filled with SUPER hot construction worker boys. My jaw almost dropped. It really was like walking into the beginning of my own personalized gay porn.
Alas nothing happened, I just ate my whopper and left. But damn the eye candy was nice.

well crap
So in general I can't really sleep right now, but what just happened did NOT help the situation. The police are driving around my neighborhood as I type this blasting a message out on their load speakers something about them looking for someone, a suspect or something. But I can't make out fully what they are saying.
So basically there is probably a killer on the loose in my neighborhood and they are looking for him. Gee I feel so ready and willing to sleep now.
argh, had I only fallen a sleep before this I would have been a much happier ignorant sleeper.

Mellow weekend
Roque came home from Tahoe on Wednesday and you all know and since he was home we spend every day together. It was the best.
Saturday I gave my couch to my aunt and cousin who did not have any furniture. This of course meant moving my couch up to the third flooring up VERY narrow flights of stairs. It really was an impressive feat that we got it up there.
Other then that I had a very mellow weekend. I hung out with Roque and much as I good, and we just chilled. Last night over dinner we started to totally brainstorm how we were going to decorate the loft (he is moving in with me btw!). I have a wall full of windows in my loft and coving them was gonna be expensive. But we decided to go all Martha Stewart and make our own drapes. This rocks cause not only will it look cool but it will save me about 1k that I did not have to spend on window coverings. Yee Haw!
Anyway, I hope everyone had a happy Easter and stuff!

OMG porn star sighting
So Ben and I were just working out at the gym as usual when all of a sudden I these two guys walk by. And I am like "OMG that guy is a porn star!"
Maybe you all live in a place where you see porn stars at the gym all the time, but this is my first time. I was all excited :-P

I love my man!
I have said it before and I will say it again, I love you Roque. I had a talk with my boy last night and I found out that he will be back to Sacramento next week. This rocks. I know its only been like a week I have been without him but I miss him. I am glad he wont really be gone for 3 months like we thought. He will be back next week and taking classes to get his real-estate license.
Roque clearly has the personality to really excel in this endeavor, and I will be there for him while he is getting off the ground.
I am a happy camper, having my boy next to me.

Where have I been?
Sorry folks I have been lame about updating my blog. I was gone last week on business for work. Yes I had my laptop with me but I was still being a lazy ass. There was nothing to write about anyway cause I was in training all day and that is kinda boring and not very blog worthy.
This weekend was SUPER. My boy came home for the weekend. As you may remember his evil job made him go away for three months. We were together all weekend and Saturday night we partied hard. In fact we partied a bit too much, or rather my boy partied a bit too much. When me and all my buds were walking home they all decided we needed to go to Hot Rods. Then we let Roque order the food. Why we did this I don’t know cause he was the drunkest of us all. We somehow ended up with $40 worth of food. Mind you this is just a crappy burger joint, and we had $40 worth of food. Needless to say most of it did not actually get eating. But it was a good time and it makes for good stories.
On Saturday I helped my aunt move from one aptarment to another one in the same complex. She moved from a 2nd story apt in one building to a 3rd story apt in another building. My legs is broken. I have never walked up and down so many stairs in my life. Mental note, lets never do that again.
Sunday I had a killer day of bowling. I scored way over my average all three games, rock on!

Some Astrology Action
OK not sure if anyone is into this stuff, but its kinda interesting. You can make your own astrological reading here (it's free). To read mine click on the read more link, its huge so I am not showing it all here.
Rising Sign is in 18 Degrees Sagittarius
You are known for being open, frank, outgoing and honest. At times, though, you are also blunt and quite indiscreet. Others have to learn not to take everything you say personally, because you usually do not mean any harm. You appreciate living your life in a straightforward and simple manner -- you dislike social niceties and consider them to be hindrances to real communication. You have lots and lots of energy and tend to become quite restless if you feel confined. You demand the freedom to do as you choose -- you must be self- directed or you feel trapped and anxious. With your abundant energy, you enjoy being outdoors, and you should be attracted to physical exercise or to those forms of sport which can help you burn off some of that excess energy. Very gregarious, you love to socialize -- your innate enthusiasm livens up any gathering.
Sun is in 21 Degrees Libra.
Very sociable, you enjoy being with others and definitely prefer not be alone. Warm and affectionate, you go out of your way to make others like you. You despise ugliness, for you being surrounded by beauty and harmony is a necessity of life. You prefer fine clothing, an attractive home and pleasant surroundings wherever you are. Your refined tastes apply to music and to art as well. At times, you are very indecisive you waver and falter when forced to make a choice because you have the ability to see both sides of any question. The positive part of this is that you are very fair-minded and can be trusted to settle disputes. Your greatest challenge is to take any one- on-one encounter and make the most of it.
Moon is in 17 Degrees Scorpio.
Your feelings are very intense, never superficial. You tend to be either very angry or very sad or completely and totally happy. Your moods are deep, extreme and not always completely understood by yourself or by those with whom you have to deal. Emotionally, you tend to prefer to live at the cutting edge of life, pushing your reactions to the ultimate extremes, even if the results are dangerous or upsetting. You are easily jealous and very suspicious -- you require a great deal of emotional reassurance. A good detective, you are very curious about deep and mysterious things, especially human nature and motivations. Be careful not to be ruthless, tactless or too overly frank or you will meet with much resistance from others.
Mercury is in 18 Degrees Libra.
You are known for not jumping to conclusions about things. You tend to weigh all possible choices very carefully before making a decision. When in the slightest amount of doubt, you will compromise rather than ruffle any feathers. You are a true raconteur of culture and taste -- your ideas and opinions are neat, elegant and refined. A born diplomat, you dislike discord so much that you will go out of your way to make others feel comfortable and at ease. You speak softly and pleasantly.
Venus is in 27 Degrees Virgo.
You express your love and affection through selfless service to people or causes. You have a tendency to underestimate yourself and doubt your self-worth. This is very demeaning and should be avoided -- learn to love yourself as well as you do others. Your standards of perfection are very high -- you are attracted to relationships based on duty and responsibility. You are supercritical of yourself and others and, at times, prefer to be alone rather than deal with any imperfections in yourself or in those with whom you might relate.
Mars is in 24 Degrees Cancer.
Your moods are very important to your overall well-being. You are confident and self-assertive when you are feeling upbeat, and you are retiring, irritable and grumpy when you get depressed about anything. Very sensitive, you wear your heart on your sleeve. You are easily angered whenever you think someone has slighted you. It is best for you to show your anger immediately and let it all out, rather than to try to hold it in or to hold grudges for a long time. You're extremely loyal and defensive of your family, neighborhood, community and culture.
Jupiter is in 05 Degrees Cancer.
You must be emotionally secure in order to grow and develop. You are happiest when your family and community support and nourish you and boost your morale. Whether your childhood experiences of love and emotional dependability were positive or negative will set the tone for your emotional growth and stability as an adult. When you feel at ease with yourself, you are able to offer assistance to those who need a helping hand.
Saturn is in 27 Degrees Leo.
Extremely self-reliant, you set very high standards of conduct and decorum for yourself, and you expect others with whom you associate to be that way, too. It is important that you had a strong father figure or role model early in life to mold your life course and direction. When you feel that those around you are unworthy or behaving badly, you withdraw, preferring solitude rather than associating with those who might besmirch your reputation.
Uranus is in 10 Degrees Scorpio.
You, and your peer group, demand to confront life at its deepest and most meaningful levels. Very compulsive and obsessive in your approach to everything, you will avoid anything that is casual or superficial, especially when it comes to relationships. You will seek out and explore new methods of healing as well as different ways to deal with deep-seated emotional problems.
Neptune is in 14 Degrees Sagittarius.
You, and your entire generation, are heavily involved in investigating and idealizing foreign and exotic intellectual systems and religious philosophies. The most extreme ideals will be pursued with gusto. You will be at the forefront of humanitarian attempts to improve the lot of those who are in need of assistance. You will be comfortable with the concept of the "global village."
Pluto is in 14 Degrees Libra.
For your entire generation, this is a time of radical changes in society's attitude toward marriage and interpersonal relationships. There is a general fear and awe at the power inherent in making emotional or contractual commitments -- they will not be entered into lightly.
N. Node is in 15 Degrees Libra.
You find it very difficult to be comfortable being alone -- you would much prefer to be in an environment where many people are working together toward common goals. Your charming and sincere approach to others assures your popularity -- you have the gift of being able to ease tensions just by your mere presence. You're the perfect "team player" willing to sacrifice your own importance so that the group goal can be accomplished. Be careful, however, not to become overly dependent on your interactions with others -- you have personal private needs that should not be neglected.

Good Times
This weekend a bunch of us went to San Francisco for my friends birthday. We had dinner at a really cool place and then after a short disco nap we went to the Lonestar (the local bear bar). Roque previously in the day had bought me this shirt which I wore out cause I thought it was appropriate :)
Anyway good times were had by all.

Um, Grrrr
So my boyfriend’s boss thought it would be a good idea to make him work in Tahoe for the next 3 months. He is leaving Monday, he found out Thursday. This sucks, I am used to seeing my man every day, now I can only see him on the weekends!
But what it comes down to is that I love my man to death, and 3 months is not that bad. And it’s not like he is that far away. True it’s to far to just stop by at night, but I can drive to Tahoe every weekend no problem.
I am a bit bummed about this whole thing (who wouldn’t be), but it will be OK. Of course his boss is clearly on my shit list and she better hope she never comes across me in a dark alley way :-P
**no that is not a threat I would never harm a fly, at most I would give her some bad fashion advice....

I’m kinda upset, should I be upset?
So Roque just got himself a new Tattoo (woof that is hot). Anyway while he was there he saw my tattoo design in there little sample design book. This kind of upsets me. This was an original design. I had to have them actually make this design for me. It’s something personal. Now drunk losers can walk in and pick it and get it. I am not sure I am OK with this.
Am I just a freak? Should I not care. It’s not like it takes away from what it is. It just ruins the uniqueness of it now that random losers that no nothing about it (or even what it is) can get it.

THE LIST
The boyfriend and I were talking this morning about “the list”. Who are the top five people (basically unobtainable) that you would have sex with. So basically anyone on this list is cleared as being allowed to have sex with. Anyway here is my list:
Now, what is your list? Leave it in my comments, I am curious.

My Type of man
I found a link to this test off of this guys website, and I figured I would take it. It's a test to see what kind of man you are attracted to. The results are kinda long so I will let you click on the "read more" link to read the full results. But basically it was right, I like me my manly, outdoorsy, furry men!
My Type
The choices you made in the test suggest you have strong, automatic preferences for certain types of men. You made your choices quickly suggesting you have clear physical instincts. A variety of features stood out as important to you. This report explores these features in detail. To start, look at the list of features below that were most common among the men you liked. These "turn ons" were noted in different combinations across many of your choices.
Unique Traits
Interestingly, a lot of the features you liked are not especially popular. They're not what usually defines "mainstream" attractiveness for men. But who cares what the mainstream thinks?! Below is a list of some of the unique features you found appealing in men.
Not Your Type
Although you quickly knew who was not appealing to you, there were only a few common features that set them apart. See this short list below. Obviously, you just know what does and does not work for you physically.
Attractiveness
Unique Tastes In Men: You are open to seeing a variety of men as handsome. Sure, men with "movie star" good looks catch your eye, but you are often equally wowed by more normal "cute" guys. You're not one to judge people based on their looks. In fact, you're genuinely drawn to men that others might dismiss. Maybe it's because you don't buy into society's checklist for "mainstream" attractiveness. Instead, you notice unique features like a strong nose, beautiful eyes, or a cute butt, that make some men special in your eyes. For you, attraction is about the total package.
looks
Aside from the specific face types and features you like, there is often an overall "quality" about a man that makes him especially appealing. There's something about his style and the personality he conveys that sets him apart. Next, we illustrate two "looks" that capture some of the common traits we saw across your choices.
There's something about "Outdoorsmen" that obviously appeals to you. These guys have a tanned, weathered look, along with ruggedly handsome features. You don't need them to be "pretty" or even "very handsome," but you are drawn by the masculinity and free-spirit they convey. These are not your "button down," "don't get your hands dirty" sort of men. About 1 in 4 men (24%) are drawn to these qualities as well.
You also seem to like qualities often found in men some describe as "Bears." They tend to be bigger guys, with full roundish or oval faces. Most have beards or some kind of facial hair. Typically, you can catch some chest hair peeking from under their shirts. Their nice smiles and warm expressions make them very approachable and so huggable! About half of all men (49%) say they find these men especially attractive. So, get in line!
Body Types
One body type that seems to appeal to you is scientifically called "Endomorph," which roughly translates into solid, stocky guys. He's not overweight, but his big bones, muscles, and overall mass make him hard to miss. Most would say he has a real "presence." His broad shoulders and big arms convey a sense of safety. This is not a guy to mess with. Although he is prone to gain weight over his lifetime, at this point he doesn't have a "pot belly" or "love handles," and usually carries any extra weight in his hips and butt. This type usually makes up 7% of single men. Telling signs of this body type include wide and curved jaws, round faces, "chubby cheeks," a boyish look, a very short and wide neck, plus larger legs and butts. Weight varies, but at 5'10" many of these guys will weigh about 225 pounds.
Hair Style
Hair Style
A good head of hair is a real turn on for you. You liked men with a variety of hair styles, but you seemed to have a special interest in men with full, wavy hair. Whether the hair was short, medium, or long, you'd rather see hair with body and texture than straight, stringy hair. Waves and light curls tend to give men a certain "boyish" quality that you seemed to like. And it's by far the best hair to run your fingers through!
Hair Length
You liked men with a variety of hair cuts, but you gave special attention to men with medium length hair. Good hair on a guy seems to be a real turn-on for you, but the right length is important. You like the hair just over the ears and long on top. You've got to have enough hair to run your fingers through, but you don't want a guy with hair that's longer than yours!
Hair Color
Deep black hair really catches your eye. In the test, you picked a definite subgroup of men who had a variety of different features and "looks," but many had black hair. This seems to fit with your overall interest in handsome MEN, not boys. Blonde and light brown hair is not nearly as appealing to you. Maybe it's because blondish hair usually gives guys a "boyish" look, while you prefer a more distinguished and even mysterious look.
baldness
Shaved or bald heads were not a consistent "turn on" for you, but on some guys it can be very sexy. You seemed to like bald men who were attractive and had an especially masculine look. So, there's no need to rule out bald men entirely, but these men need to have other features that give them an overall sexy quality.
facial hair
Facial hair on the right man can be a big turn on for you. Whether it's a beard or goatee, if it is neatly trimmed, you seem to give these men a second glance. In fact, the photos you chose in the test are very similar to the photos picked by men who often say they love facial hair on men. Maybe you find masculine-looking men especially appealing. Or, maybe you just like the way beards tickle you in all the right places!
body hair
A hairy chest on the right man can be a turn on! This seems to fit your overall preference for very masculine men. A lot of women don't like hairy chests at all, which is their loss and means less competition for you!
* In all I think one word discribes the type of man I find attractive.... WOOF!

The sweetest most romantic boyfriend of all
*this might get mushy, you have been forewarned.
Last night was bowling night. I am there at my lane, and the waitress walks up and has something for me. It’s a box of chocolates, a soda, and a card. OMG how sweet is that?
This is the first Valentines Day where someone is doing something for me. Seriously! And he says he has some incredible stuff planned so I can’t wait!
Anyway I would just like to say I have the best boyfriend EVER.

Tattoo Update
Several people have asked to see new pics of the tattoo now that it is healing. So here ya go. These should be of higher quality because they were taken with my camera not my web cam.
It's healing really well. Most all the scab has come off. There is still a smidgen of flaking. I am keeping it well moisturized so all is good. Anyway its almost totally healed so here are some more pics of the tattoo :)

I can’t help but show it off!
It’s true, once you get a tattoo, you simply have no choice but to show it off at all times. This means that I need to replace my entire wardrobe with muscle shirts and tank tops. It all started Sunday night at bowling.
How could I not wear a muscle shirt to bowling? It’s an entire bowling ally full of homogays, I MUST show off. Does that make me shallow? No I don’t think so, hehe.
Then last night I had to wear a muscle shirt to the gym. Well ok this was not unusual cause I always wear muscle shirts to the gym, but still, again showing off new tattoo!
It’s healing really really well. In fact one might say it’s healing freakishly well. I think I have wolverine type healing powers. It’s still a bit sore. Things rubbing against it are very annoying (see yet another reason to wear a muscle shirt). I am being a good little boy and taking care of it just like they told me too while its healing.
Everyone keeps asking me when the next tattoo will happen. Yes I know everyone says they are addicting and what not. I don’t know. I don’t think I will get another, or at least I say that now. But I am confident I will not end up covered in them. I have no idea what I wanna get, it took me forever to come up with this design.
*PS - I promise to get better better pictures of the tattoo as soon as it heals. Those I have now are just from my webcam and you can't see the details and true kickassness of the tattoo.

Holy Crap, I have a tattoo!!!!
Well I have always wanted a tattoo and today I just went and got one. It's called a Tumi. It's an Inca ceremonial knife. The half moon on the bottom is the blade, and the handle is the God Inti. Check out my pics.

The best thing about having a boyfriend is….
It’s the little things that are really the best. I left work yesterday around 1pm cause I had a wicked migraine. It’s my theory that when you have a headache so bad you are about to vomit, it’s time to just go home, and that is what I did. I took many drugs and basically passed out for a while.
Around 5 I call my man to say, “please feed me I feel like shit and I don’t wanna cook.” So I managed to get myself to his place and me, him, and a bunch of people just piled on the couches watched much Sex and The City and ate food. R and I cuddled on the couch for a good amount of time. So even thought the day kinda sucked ass and was filled with much pain and me wanting to rip my brain out, it turned out to be a good day.
Like I said, it’s all about the little things.

I am in such high demand!
I love to have my ego stroked, what can I say! This little incident happened at bowling last night. I am just kick’n back while we are all bowling and I am standing next to this guy Fritz. So while we are there, this lesbian comes up and starts talking to Fritz. I am not catching everything they say (cause I am not supposed to) but I can tell they are talking about me. I have a feeling Fritz is being pumped for info about me, clearly cause some other boy is wanting said info.
Next thing you know Fritz leans over and says “So you know that Fred likes you right?” And I am like “Um no I did not know, who is Fred?” He points out Fred and I look. Good looking guy, I am sure he is a nice fellow to (but I am taken, I have the bestest, sexiest, sweetest man known to mankind). So when he asks me if I am single I say no, I gots me a man.
It still feels good to know that I am in demand though.
Also while R and I were at a bar Saturday night waiting in line for drinks, this guy turned to R and said "Better hold on to him or else I will take him." A bit ballsy to say right in front of me I think. Anyway whatever that guy had nothingon my man!

The Best Man
My brother asked me today if I would be the best man in his wedding (he just proposed to his girlfriend right before Christmas). I was so honored, that is SO cool. After I said hell ya I would do it, he writes back saying “cool, in that case I have a list of stuff you need to do”. He wastes no time putting me to work!
The real question is how does a homogay like myself plan a good heterostraight bachelor party? I am going to have to consult others on this one.

It's a brand new year!
At night we went to Ggreg's party and that was super fun. It was my first underground party. There weren't as many people dancing as I thought there would be, but we still have fun.
Here is to a brand new year! May it be drama free and filled with lots of fun!

Some retail therapy fun
I have always wanted a pair of cowboy boots but I never actually bought a pair. But since for news years I am going to this underground party fetish ball thing, I decided I needed me a kick ass pair of boots to go with my leather chaps. So the boyfriend and I went on a little quest. Let me tell you, this was no simple matter. It took us 70 miles of driving and several hours, we finally find a wester store that was open and we got me my boots. They rock, I like them mucho, and I really think they will look good with my chaps, clearly pictures will follow :-P

So today is the white elephant gift exchange party thingy at work. I get back from lunch and I notice something is missing from my desk. It’s the gift I brought. That pissed me off, stealing my gift. I go check my friends here to see if they thought they would be funny, and by the time I get back to my desk it's back. I only have one thing to say.
Whoever it was I AM GONNA RIP YOUR HEART OUT THROUGH YOUR ASS YOU MOTHER FUCKER

Would you like to super size that?
This weekend rocked. Not because I was trapped in the school library all weekend studying for finals, but because on Saturday I got to pick options for the loft I am buying. While I was doing this I couldn’t help of being reminded of buying me car. “Are you sure you don’t want this option? The car is really worthless without it.” No actually the real-estate agent selling me the loft is really nice and did not pressure me into buying anything I did not want. She was also style conscious and just plain refused to let me buy some things. Not that I wanted the mind you cause they were hideous but she told me should wouldn’t allow me to buy them anyway just on principle.
Now your asking what the hell I ended up with. Lets start with the most important thing of all. I upgraded to stainless steel appliance in my kitchen. I mean come on people, this is a super cool hip trendy loft, no way I was gonna be caught without stainless steel appliances. I also upgraded the kitchen cabinets to maple from oak. The oak ones just looked ghetto and I was going to have none of that! I got mirrored doors on my closet, cause they make the room look bigger, are just plain neat, and wood doors are ugly. I left the counter tops just plain laminate because upgrading to granite or synthetic stone was just plain not worth it, I can do that later if I really really want.
That is really it when it comes to the upgrades, a few extra phone and TV outlets and whatnot. Later I get to pick out floors for the master bath and the loft area, but for that they are sending me to some store. I am even more excited now! I can’t wait till its finished being built.

A couple damn good things happened yesterday. I got a call from the agent selling the loft I am buying and I now have an appointment on Saturday to pick out options. Yee haw go upgrades! Then when I got home there was a message on my machine from the bank saying my loan had been approved. I can’t believe I am just a few months away from being a home owner!

Home loan application hell
As you may know I am buying a loft, and part of that buying process is applying for a home loan. Let me tell you this is just not a fun process. And for me it’s been especially fun since thanks to the economy I have some seriously jacked up employment history over the past 2 years. And the best part is I have been working for the same company for the past 2 years and my employment history is still jacked up.
Here is the basic rundown. I was unemployed for 6 months, could not find a job, economy kicked my ass. Then I started grad school. Whoopie I am a student which allows me to land an internship at my current company. See they weren’t and still aren’t hiring but interns don’t count as people so it’s sort of a loophole. OK I worked as an intern for a year and thanks to wonderful labor laws in this country they can only keep me for a year before they technically are taking advantage of me so I lose my job. But I only have to be gone for 3 months before I can come back as an intern again. Hence why there is a 3 month gap in my employment this year. I come back as an intern and then OMG they were able to actually hire me as a real employee so now I have a full time job. So I have been working here almost 2 years, but I still have gaps in my employment.
I have practically explained this situation to everyone that currently, ever has, and ever will work was Washington Mutual. They finally just had me put it in writing and they stapled it to my loan application. I am sure I will get at least one more call asking me about it.
OH and get this, Macy’s is on my shit list. See I have a Macy’s card which I NEVER use, in fact I lost it a long time ago. Anyway I actually charged something to my account but thanks to the wonderful post office I never got my bill and I never thought anything of it cause I never get a bill from them cause I never use it. Anyway this results in me having a late fee cause I missed a payment. It took Mayc’s all of 5 seconds to mark on my credit report that I am delinquent in my account but I have paid off my account, I owe them no money now but does my credit report show that…no, it just shows that I am delinquent in payments to Macy’s. I know this cause my loan officer asked why I was delinquent in a payment. I was so pissed. I called Macy’s and am having them send me a document saying my account is paid up, and that I canceled my account (which I did). Those fuckers trying to make my loan process more annoying then it already is.

LEATHER PANTS!!!!!!
This weekend rocked and let me tell you why. As you all know I have been on the South Beach Diet and today marks the end of the first two weeks (I lost 11 pounds by the way). I can tell the difference, I am noticeably thinner and that makes me feel really good about myself. The boyfriend asked me if I had wanted to go out with him and his friends on Saturday night and I figured ya it would be fun. Then I remembered that I have lost weight and that maybe I can fit into my leather pants again. So I went and tried them on, THEY FIT!!!! Right then and there it was decided, I was gonna get ALL ho’d up and have me a good time!
SO I slipped into my leather pants, but on my best yummy shinny black club shirt and I was good to go! We went to the club and hit the dance floor! It had been a while since last time I got to just dance the night away, so I was having a good time, plus I was in my leather pants and lets face facts here you just can’t help but feel like a rock star when you wearing leather pants and you know you look good in them.
I was in my own little world dancing with Roque so I was not paying attention to other boys but Roque said he noticed plenty O guys checking me out. OK I can’t help but feel good hearing that.
And then not only that but Roque also bought me some shirts when he went shopping and he got me this one sweater that makes me look totally thin and tall. I couldn’t stop walking past the mirror to look at myself, seriously I just have not felt this good in a long time!

I am a running machine!
Last night was a cardio day at the gym. Ben and I have been very bad about doing the gym thing lately, but we are determined to get back on track. Anyway last night we went to get some fun cardio in. Normally I just do the elliptical machine but they were all taken so we decided to do the treadmill. Mind you I NEVER run, I don’t like running, but I figured heck why not, it’s still cardio and it’s still good for you.
So I had a nice 30 min run where I ran 2.79 miles which I think is not bad for an out of shape slob that never runs. But let me tell you my legs are sore today! It’s a good kind of sore so I am all good with that.

The AIM test
There are several people I talk to on AIM. In fact I talk to a lot of people on AIM. I have been noticing that several of these people don’t ever start conversations with me, I am always the one to start the conversation. This makes me wonder, do they even want to talk to me? So I have decided to perform a little test. To the people that never start conversations with me, I am not going to start conversation with them. I want to see if they ever talk to me again if I don’t initiate. Cause really why do I want to have people on my buddy list that never start conversations with me?
The test has begun, and thus far, I have not talked to these people cause they have not initiated. Very interesting……

Yee Haw
So Roque being the ever awesome boyfriend brought me dinner at home last night. This rocked cause when I got home from work I had a wicked headache and was feeling like crap and I was SO not in the mood to cook dinner. We had dinner and talked, and we realized we have been dating now for about 2.5 months. It’s odd because it just doesn’t seem like it’s been that long. I feel so comfortable around him. We are both really busy people and I don’t feel like I have to call him every single day and vice versa. If he doesn’t call me I just assume he worked late that day and didn’t have time, and that is ok cause I know I will get to see him soon, it's not like I need to check up on him and know his every whereabouts.
Then after dinner we cuddled up on the couch and watched Alias which I am several weeks behind on, but luckily its all just sitting there on my Tivo waiting for me when I am ready.
I am a really happy camper.

Ugh
Can I just say, I have meetings today from 8-1 and 2-5. Yup I have a meeting through lunch, albeit a lunch meeting where I get to eat, it's still a meeting. Then when I get off work I get to do homework which I neglected to do. This day is going to suck, it's going to suck major. I need a hug :(

Halloween Fun
This Halloween Ben, Kevin, Roque and I decided we were going to go to SF for some party action. I think I can honestly say this was the best Halloween I have ever had. We got to SF and checked into our hotel and got all dressed up in our costumes. Ben, Kevin, and I were army boys while Roque was a Jedi knight.
We went to the Castro and it was SUPER crowded. We were going to hook up with a friend of Ben’s at some bar, which was all the way on the other side. So we had to plow are way though a whole whack of people in order to get there. So after some pushing and kicked and screamed we got to The Edge. This is where we met Steve and a bunch of Steve’s friends. We hung out there for a while and drank and have fun, then we decided we wanted to head over to the Lonestar Saloon.
Keep in mind here that Lonestar is like a million blocks away, and we walked. About halfway there it became clear I was not going to make it all the without a serious bathroom break. Steve was feeling me on that one and about 2 blocks before we got there we turned into a bar and headed straight for the bathroom. OMG never in my life has it felt SO good to pee. Anyway….
We got to the Lonestar and the crowd was mellow and we met more of Steve’s friends. Some guys ask me if I wanted to do a shot of Jager with them and who was I do turn that down (they must have known my weakness for Jager shots). We stayed at the Lonestar until closing time where we then proceeded to head over to The Endup. We danced and had fun till about 4am where we finally had to surrender and head home cause we were about to pass out from exhaustion.
Good times that is for sure! I am sorry I currently do not have any pictures, but I did not bring my camera so I am at the mercy of Steve now to give my pics of the night cause I know he got some good ones.

OMG life rocks!
I can’t even begin to express right now how much life rocks!
Not only did I finally land myself a real job after 2 years of limbo, but now I also got my loft!
I spoke earlier (very vaguely) about this loft. See the thing is, it’s a brand new development in an area of the American River waterfront that is being redeveloped. In fact this is the first phase, the first new homes to be built in this area. All the homes in this development have been finished and sold and people live in them now, but they are also building 10 lofts in this community. I found out about this and got myself on the interest list. Unfortunately you know there are a zillion people that want these 10 lofts and I got on the list late, which sucks. But wait, the agent in charge told me that basically those that express the most interest are those that get selected first to put a reservation down on a lot. Well I called EVERY SINGLE day and left a little message to ensure the agent know about me and how much I wanted the place.
Yesterday while driving to school the agent calls me and tells me I am not only on the list, but I am #4 on the list to pick a lot!! I meet with her Thursday to pick my lot and slap down money to reserve it. I could not possibly be any happier right now. This is just so fucking cool.
Here is a link to the lofts.

Happy Monday!
Welcome to Monday everyone. You know the best thing about this Monday? I have to be at work at 7am on Mondays, but this Monday 7am is like 8am because daylight savings time ended. So even though I am here early, it doesn’t feel like I am here early, and that rocks. There was even sunlight when I drove to work, how cool is that?
Last night was fun. I actually did very well at bowling I beat my average the first 2 games, and I think I did on my thirds too, but honestly I don’t remember what I bowled on the third came.
After bowling Roque came over and we went to Ricks Dessert Dinner. Last night was his last hurrah because he goes on the Atkins Diet this morning. We totally pigged out, we shared 3 slices of cake. Wow they were SO good, but I can’t even imagine how many calories and grams of fat we packed in last night. So wrong, yet so painfully yummy.
And just for the fun of it, here is a yummy Monday picture for you!

Um why?
Ok so I just read this article about this guy who thought it would be fun to plunge over Niagra Falls. Clearly this guy is a mental case because who in there right mind would ever think this was a good idea? I mean he just decided to do it and jumped in and floated over the edge! Freak!!!!!!!! That is all I have to say about that.

Super funtastic weekend
Well OK maybe the entire weekend was not “funtastic” because I did a whole wack of homework, but the fun bits FAR outweigh the negative homework aspects of the weekend.
Friday night I was going to do nothing and go to bed super early because I was kind of dead from the week but as I was vegetating on the couch a buddy of mine called and we went out to dinner. While at dinner we were talking and I told him how I had just bought the Matrix Reloaded and he said he had not seen it. Clearly this meant we needed to go back to my place and watch it. I must say watching it at home the “orgy” scene was no where near as long and as mind numbing as I remember it being in the theater. After the movie my buddy left and I went to bed so I could get up early and get going on my homework.
Saturday I woke up nice and early and believe it or not I was at the school library by 9:30am so I could start working on my research paper. I have learned that no matter how hard I try, I can’t do any real homework at home, I need to be in the library at school or else it will never get done. So I did homework all morning and I text my buddy and say “hey I am on campus wanna do lunch!” See he is a residence hall director on campus so obviously he was there, he lives there. So he takes me to lunch at the dinning commons, which was a trip cause I have not eaten at a dinning commons since my freshmen year in college back when I lived in the dorms. It was fun. After lunch I walk back to the library and finish my homework.
After homework was done I went home and collapsed on the couch in order to store up some energy for the night. Saturday night was to be our “pub crawl” which basically means we were going hit up multiple places and get completely shit faced in celebration of my birthday, yippy go birthdays! Anyway we had super amounts of fun that night, drinking and socializing and dancing. And I think I kinda woke up a bit drunk Sunday, but its all good cause Roque cooked me breakfast in the morning.
Have I mentioned how much of a sweetie Roque is? Not sure what I did to deserve meeting him but damn I am rather glad I did!
Sunday I really didn’t do anything, once Roque left I just did laundry and did some more homework. Sunday night is bowling night so I did that. My team was playing the number 1 team in the league. Needless to say we were just waiting to get our asses handed to us. But wait this is the funny part. We won 2/4 pins. For those that don’t know how league games work, you play 3 games, and then you also add up ALL the pins you get and one of the teams wins that. This other team won 2 of the games, we won the third one, but somehow, someway we took then in the pin count, so we ended up tying that night. The funny part is this is the first time they have ever not won at least 3 of the pins. Us, the most pathetic team on the league like totally dethroned them because of this. All I have to say there is something to be said about sucking a lot and having a wicked handicap, because if you bowl any significant amount above your average you end up with a whole lot of points! (I never in my life would have though I would know this much about bowling)
That was my weekend, good clean wholesome fun!

I want to be Sydney Bristow
Well as a little birthday gift to myself I did a little shopping yesterday after work. I purchased The Matrix Reloaded, and I also got Alias: the complete first season. Matrix is just something cool, but Alias is a must buy. I mean how can anyone in their right mind not just totally LOVE Sydney Bristow?
After shopping I went out to dinner with my straight boyfriend Mike and his wife Dianne and there baby boy Nick. Nick is such a cutie pie!
Then I finally got home around 9:15pm. It was all good though because Roque didn’t get of work till 9:30 yesterday so he couldn’t take me to dinner but we made alternate plans to go to Rick’s Dessert Dinner for some yummy goodness. It was so good to see Roque, I really like that boy. And he was so cute because he got me The Matrix Reloaded and I had just bought it that day. And you know it was a damn good effort on his part because I NEVER buy DVD’s but I splurged yesterday because it was my birthday. Next time I must somehow coordinate better. But its the thought that counts, anyway I was just happy getting to see him on my b-day, who cares about gifts really.
Anyway the moral of this story is, I want to be Sydney Bristow, yup. She is one bad ass chick.

A little bit of BBQ and a whole lot of birthday cake
I went t my parents house this weekend to celebrate my birthday (no it’s not actually my b-day yet, it’s on Tuesday). I had good times. Just hung out with the family. My mom made some yummy sis kabobs. Then after dinner we had some cake. It’s all about the birthday cake really. Then we went to the driving range. Ya, that sounds kind of odd but my brother bought new clubs over the weekend and wanted to try them out. I got to take a few swings. I really suck at golf, that is all I have to say about that.
On Sunday I spent most of the morning thinking about buying a house, then I did homework, then I continued to think about buying a house. I managed to track down a lead on some lofts that are being built on the river front. Not going to put a link because I don’t want anyone to buy a loft out from under me. I am determined to get one of these lofts, even though only 10 of them are being built. I can be very persistent when it comes to getting what I want.
Sunday before bowling and after homework I watched The Italian Job (with Marky Mark’s arms, yum).
I actually did rather well bowling Sunday night. I bowled at 148 my first game (which is way above my average). I then choked and bowled an 84 on my second game, and came back and bowled a 114 on my third game. The game ended up a tie. But its all good, my team is slowly working its way up the standings (believe it or not). Soon we will be number 1. Ok probably not but dare to dream.

My baby is going to be ok!
I took my car to the dealer today because it was making a bad noise in the engine. You know like a bearing going bad somewhere. I was hoping it was something not to bad like a water pump bearing and not like my main bearing for my cams grinding. Well they call me and tell me it is the water pump but, but wait it gets better, its covered under my power train warranty. I was totally not expecting that. My car has 75k miles on it. The warranty was 20k with a 100k power train warranty. Usually I would expect something like a water pump not to be covered under the power train warranty, but it was! So kick ass. I love VW, they rock.

OMG I bowled a 152!
I am sure all you real bowlers out there laugh at my enthusiasm for bowling a 152 last night but this is by far the highest I have ever scored in bowling. Last night was league night (yes I am on a bowling league). I was doing rather well last night actually. The first game I bowled 2 points below my average, but the last two games I bowled above, and on the third game I bowled WAY above. For those of you that are interested my average right now is 96.
I joined this league so I would have something to do and be social, and I am really digging it. I have fun every time I bowl. And I am getting better. I still lack consistency but I am getting a lot better. It really helps that I bought my own equipment and am not using house balls and shoes anymore.
BTW if there is anyone is Sacramento reading this and would like to bowl, my team is still missing a team member and we would LOVE to have you bowl with us!

It's me!
So I looked up a short describtion of what a libra's personality is supposed to be like and here it is. I have highlighted in blold the things that are just dead on.
Easily the most pleasant and beautiful of all zodiac signs, depending on which side of the scales you are on, and if they're balanced, Librans possess natural charm in abundance and an easy going manner that makes things they desire, quite easily accessible to them. Compassionate, generous and diplomatic, you will find people always ready to do you favours. Of course, you too will be equally helpful when they need you. You are often accused of being lazy, but it is only because you burn too much midnight oil and need to recuperate. Indecisiveness is your biggest drawback. It is a trait that often leads to delays; you spend an inordinate amount of time weighing up the pros and cons. You are most apt to postpone difficult decisions for as long as possible than face unsavoury situations. You will be frequently called upon to settle disputes, something you will do with a keen sense of justice. You can provide a heroic, gung-ho display in defending what you judge as right, and then when everyone agrees, you jump ships, raise the pirates flag and become the devil's advocate -- such is the nature of a Libran. You are like the pair of measuring scales that represent this zodiac sign; most of the times it is balanced, but then when the scales tilt, the Libran can be quarrelsome, restless, superficial, vain, confused, or even depressed. Then mysteriously it levels out and all is well, balance is achieved, the easygoing nature, the charm, the sense of humour and tact that will win you new friends and keep those other admirers happy. Librans are big collectors and great admirers of physical beauty. They tend to be big spenders. They like to live in beautiful surroundings and are fairly obsessed with keeping a clean house. In your need for material things, you will even flirt to get what you want. And by the way, try to be a little more tolerant towards those who make snap decisions or seem impulsive, because not everyone is Libran.
I'm basically your tipicall libra, what can I say.

I’m back!
Friday
I woke up incredibly early on Friday to get to the airport. R picked me up at my place at 4am to take me to the airport before he went to work. My flight did leave at 6:45am but still leaving at 4 am got me to the airport super earlier, I was like the first person there in the airport. So I just chilled in the terminal surfing the web on my laptop because the Sac airport has wireless internet.
I had me a nice little flight. In Houston I hooked up with my friends Aunt and her husband and daughter who were also going to New Orleans (it was my friends 30th b-day so there was much family going there).
We arrived in New Orleans and went to the Hotel. Our hotel was in the middle of Bourbon street. Could anything be more cool? We were the last to arrive so we put are crap away in our rooms and we all went for a walk, I was starving cause I had not eaten all day so I needed food. After that we split up, I went with Tania for some exploration while Tina when and mingled with her family a bit. The very first thing we did was find us a salon where we bought supplies to bleach my hair and dye it blue. Yup I now have blue hair, and its rather cool if I do say so myself.
We all went out to dinner that night and decided to hit the town. We did not intended on any serious partying because we had all been awake since about 3 am and were all kinda dead. We walked down bourbon street and then everyone wanted to go back. There was a gay club a block ahead of us and I looked at Tania and said “OK they may be going back but you and I are gonna have some homogay fun right now.” Next thing you know we are ALL in Oz. I mean everyone the whole family in this gay club. It was a trip. Tina’s mom had never stepped food in a homogay establishment, neither had any of the adults I think. We danced a bit and hung out. Good times were had by all. We went back to bed early, it was all good, plenty of time to have sleepless fun.
Saturday
We wake up and Tania and I have breakfast. We walk around bourbon street a bit, check out the street performers and stuff. Then we part because she has a massage scheduled as part of her gift that she gave her honey Tina. So I go back to the hotel and chill a bit. Then I go for another stroll around the French quarter cause I am bored. I eventually get a phone call and I go to lunch with Tina and Tania and everyone. We book a swamp tour for the afternoon and we go on this swamp tour.
It started with a 15 minute airboat ride which rocked SO much. And the boy who drove the airboat was SOOO hot. I wanted to get a picture but what the hell do I say? I don’t wanna get my ass kicked by swamp boy.
After the airboat ride we pile onto a boat to start the real swamp tour. It was really fun, the tour guide was really cool and funny. He actually captured an alligator and brought it onto the boat. That was crazy, but now I have a nifty shot of me petting an alligator. It was fun to do the touristy thing, and I have lots of cool pictures.
After the swamp boat tour we get back, do the dinner thing then its time to get our party on. Basically now it’s just me, Tania, and Trisha. We go back to Oz cause we wanna do some serious dancing fun. There was this super yummy gogo boy dancing on the bar at Oz. my type of boy, can I say WOOF!!!!!
Anyway, we leave at around 2 am to walk Trisha back to the hotel room and then Tania and I get back to Oz for a little bit longer. We had fun. We didn’t really stay much longer we got back a little after 3. There was this bear bar somewhere but we where not sure and we didn’t want to be walking down dark streets in the French Quarter at night by ourselves so we did not try to find it. But its all good.
Sunday
Sunday we had a brunch scheduled at this swanky restaurant. It was really cool. We bum around the French Quarter some more and we also take a street car to the Garden District to see the old homes. It was very neat. It being our last night there we clearly need to have a little bit of party action going on. I had totally planed on going to bed not too late because my flight left at 7am and my shuttle was picking me up at 4:30am and I didn’t want to be a total zombie. Well what do you know, we somehow ended up at a bar directly below “the” balcony on bourbon street. This is the main balcony were people stand and try to get people on the street to flash them for beads. Mind you this is all straight people fun at this point but I am having fun.
All my friends keep telling me I look thirst and handing me drinks. Jeez, gotta love my friends. Anyway the crowd is picking up under the balcony I try to get beads several times and am successful. No I did not flash my junk just my chest, I figure that is enough I have a yummy chest!
There is this guy that walks around selecting people to go up on the balcony. Anyway he slected one of our party, it was her 18th birthday. She had some massive beeds going on, I don’t wanna know how she got them all. Anyway I am drunk at this point and I am pointing out guys and trying to get them to do stuff. I remember yelling WOOF about one of the guys on the balcony (he was yummy). And next thing you know, that dude comes up to me and says “You’re quickly becoming one of my favorite gay boys, you wanna go up on the balcony?” I am like hell yes! So I go up and am determined to get the boys to show some skin. Let me tell you, even drunk its hard to get the boys to show you a little something when they are SO focused on seeing them some titties.
I did get a boy to flash his junk at me, which I could not believe, later when I went down I thanked him for being a good sport. We had super fun. We ended up leaving at around 2 am. At this point I still have to pack and shower so there is NO point is sleeping anymore.
Monday
I fly home way to early Monday morning. I have not slept yet, but I can’t sleep on the plane cause I am SOOO tired I can’t sleep anymore. R picks me up at the airport (what a guy) and we hang out all day.
That my friends, was my super kick ass vacation. Pictures are here, go check the out.

Where was I yesterday
I realize probably no one really noticed that I didn’t post yesterday (specially since I don’t always post everyday). Yesterday sucked major. I was trapped in all day meeting hell. Yesterday was a 9 hour day for me and 8 of those hours were spent in meetings. Well let me rephrase that, 1 7-hour meeting and 1 1-hour meeting.
And on top of that I only had gotten about 3 hours sleep the night before so I was functioning completely on Redbull. Needless to say when the day was over I was REALLY happy for it to be over.
I was supposed to meet someone at the gym after work for spinning class, but he never confirmed so I figured he would not show and I could just go home and pass out. But as I was on my way home he called and I ended up going to spin class. It was a good thing because I actually really did feel much better after class. And after class we chilled in the hot tub, where this freaky old guy kept looking at me. Then in the shower same freaky old guy kept staring at my crotch. You just gotta love my gym.

Get your party on
Remember earlier I made some really vague post about something really kick ass happened but I did want to say what it was cause it was not yet totally official. Well now it is totally official! Here is my good news. Ever since I got laid off way back in Aug of 2001 I have not had real employment. For the past year and a half I have been working as an intern at my company because they are not hiring and I simply could not land a real job. Mind you I was still getting a paycheck but there was not job security. You can only be an intern for a year before they kick you out. This already happened to me, I had to take a 3 month break and then come back.
Last week I was officially offered a job here. I am a real honest to God employee now!!!!! I can not express how happy I am. I finally have a real job. I wont have to leave every year anymore, I get benefits now! WOW!!!!!
Needless to say some serious party action needed to take place in order to celebrate this kick ass event. So Saturday night me and my friends decide to paint the town red. We started out by going to the Depot. Once there we find more of my friends and we hung out for a bit. I was well on my way to getting seriously tanked. After hanging out at the Depot for a while we headed across the street to Faces.
Once I walk into Faces who is the first person I see? Someone that I am VERY interested in. So I walk over to him and say hi. We start talking I tell him I am there celebrating finally getting a job and he buys me a drink (what a nice guy!). So that night we hang out dance and drink (yup I am working on the alcohol poisoning at this point). After Faces we go to the place across the street called Hot Rods to get some food and sober up a bit. Afterwards he walked me home. He is a really sweet guy, and incredibly cute (and a good kisser ;-). I can’t wait to see him again.
Anyway on Sunday, when I woke up, I was drunk. Yup I drank so much that I actually woke up drunk the next day. How nice! In all I had a wicked fabulous weekend. I gots me a real job and I hung out and partied with a really great guy. Yee Haw!

Positive Vibes
Hey everyone, a good friend of mine has a job interview today at 1pm (pacific time) here where I work. He is currently unemployed so clearly it would be a darn good thing if he got this job. Everyone send your positive vibes to him today at 1pm.
Together, we can change the world! :)

Some seriously good things happened yesterday. I don’t wanna get into details cause although I now know it IS going to happen, no paper work has been produced and nothing signed so I just don’t wanna jynx it. But as SOON as it happens trust me, there will be a post explaining what this super cool, kick ass, best thing that has happened to me EVER, thing is!

Nonstop bowling fun!
I have officially become a serious bowler. On Saturday I purchased a bowling ball, shoes and a bag to carry my equipment. I now own all my own bowling equipment. To all you that don’t own your own ball, you don’t know what your missing. Having a ball that fits your hand is best!
Yesterday was my second night of league bowling. Even with all my new spiffy equipment I was getting my but kicked, I was shooting well below my average (which I set last week). It’s OK, I was just getting used to my equipment, towards the end I was shooting a lot better. Another thing that also seemed to help is that I named my bowling ball. Yes you read that right I gave it a name. My ball is now called Rosario. Rosario was treating me well on the third game, she would never do me wrong.
I had a really good time last night. I also got to meet in person this guy who I talked to online a while back, but never got to meet in person. I am really glad I got to meet him, he is a really nice guy (and wicked cute). I think I just may have to pursue this further.

mmmm I’d like some hair with my text books
I went into the school bookstore really quickie like before class yesterday so I could finally buy my book. There was this checker there and he was so yummy. You could see his hair popping up from his collar, WOOF! Why couldn’t he just take his shirt off so I could run my fingers through his yummy chest hair!

Let the bowling begin
Last night was the first night of the homogay bowling league here in Sacramento. I am not a big bowler mind you, in fact I suck at it. But I thought it would just be really fun, get to hang out and bowl, and meet new people.
I actually did rather good last night. I bowled 104 on my first game. I realize to you hard core bowlers that is a horrific score, but for me that is damn good. I rarely break 100. The next two games I bowled in the high 90’s.
In all I had a really good time. We ended up losing one of our team members so we are on the lookout for a new one. I only know so many people here so this could be an issue. I will find a willing victim, somewhere.

Running on Redubull here
I only got 3 hours of sleep last night, but I am not complaining here.
I got to spend the evening with Chris again. I took him out to dinner, then dessert, then we went back to my place and played some video games, then had a little Buffy marathon. But really the best part was just that I got to spend time with him. Who can complain about spending all night cuddling with a really nice, sweet, yummy boy?
So ya, he left around 3am and I have to wake up by 6 in order to get to work on time. I am running on three hours of sleep and a can of Redbull right now. But like I said, it is totally worth it.
Here’s hoping I get to see him again soon, because I would really like to.

Our future governor?
Well it has started, the mud slinging around our wonderful election to get a new governor. I still feel as though Gray Davis wont get recalled because the whole idea is flawed. But anyway.
Some of you may have heard of this interview Arnold gave way back when to a porno magazine oui. It’s an interesting read, Arnold does not hold back on his answers at all.

Girl Power!
My friend Tania is my hero right now, and let me tell you why. For a while now she has been suffering in less the satisfactory work conditions. Her boss was being a total bitch to her and totally being a two face. She would tell her to do something, then ream her for doing it because “she was never told to do that.” Basically she was being setup to get fired. Every day she would talk to me on IM and ask if it was OK to quit. Basically what it came down to is if she quit she could not get unemployment, so he needed to somehow get laid off.
Yesterday she tells me she is going to get them to lay her off. That was her goal. And she did it! She walked into her boss’s office and just said “I want you to lay me off, we both know you’re going to do it anyway.” That is SO kick ass. Can you imagine! That takes some serious balls to do that. So not only is she not getting laid off and getting away from the soul sucking hell hole, but she totally had control over that situation, she never gave them the opportunity to screw her. I am so happy for her.

The Great Non Camping Adventure
We were originally supposed to go camping over the past weekend, but somehow that plan got scrapped and we were just going to go to my friend’s cabin up in Tahoe. This turned out to be a really fun alternative. You get to be up in nature, but you still have a bed and a shower.
On Saturday we went for a little hike close to where the cabin is. It was a fun hike. I somehow managed to hurt my foot (I don’t know how) and by the end I was limping to get back to the car. After the hike our other friends came up and we then decided to go to Reno and do a little bit of gambling. Once in Reno we decided Reno sucks so we decided to drive to South Lake Tahoe, cause it is way more fun.
South Lake was way more happening. I ended up turning $40 into $166 at the roulette table. I was most pleased by this. I always lose money when I gamble. I resisted the urge to go on and I cashed out and kept my money.
On Sunday we went for another little hike on the abandoned train tracks through the mountain. See they built a brand new tunnel for the train so there are these abandoned tunnels and snow sheds. It’s really neat, I have pictures. I will post then as soon as I get off my ass and download them from my camera.
That was my weekend, went back home and vegetated. I just laid on the couch. I did manage to do one load of laundry because I had no underwear for work the next day.

I’m sorry but the Spanish version is way better
I am sitting here right now listening to the Shakira’s Album Laundry Service which is her English album. I have been a Shakira fan before she was signing in English cause all my cousins in Peru got me hooked on her. Anyway I am listening to this album and come to find out she put an English version of one of my favorite songs that is on her Spanish album Los Ladrones. Let me just say that the Spanish version of this song is infinitely superior and am I kind of disappointed now. Some songs should not be messed with.

Did I approve this change?
Super yummy woofy intern boy here at work shaved off his goatee. I don’t think I approve of this. He’s still yummy though

Shiny, like a brand new car
My poor car has been painfully abused since I have bought it. It has never lived in a garage, always on the street, and I don’t wash and wax it nearly enough because I have always lived in apartments and there is no place for me to hand wash it. But on Saturday with the help of my buddy, my little car got the TLC is so rightly deserves.
My buddy and I spent about 5 hours, clay barring, waxing, and buffing my car to a perfect shine. My car has not looked that good since the day I drove it off the lot. I was amazed how good it looked. Keep in mind I have a black car and its SO easy to mess up that paint. The hood is a bit hazy now, but it still cleaned up very nice.
We also fixed my wiper blade which got jacked up by the evil oil changing people fucking my car up. SO I had to replace it. We “tried” to install a European valance on my car, but it turns out the one my buddy had which was supposed to be a drop in replacement, was not. I was kind of bummed about that cause it would have looked very slick on my car. So now I am determined to find one, cause now I have been teased by the possibility.
Next thing I need to do is put stiffer suspension on and a sway bar so I can take corners at a million miles and hour. But that little modification is going to have to wait a while because its kind of expensive. I need to start saving for that and set aside a fund.

Let the anger and hate be washed away
I won’t lie here, I have been royally pissed of at my ex since he dumped me. Not just hurt, but pissed. I felt like he really treated me bad and was using me. And this just tore me up inside because I cared about him so much, and how could someone I cared for so much treat me like that.
On the other side of the line, he was thinking he was being a friend to me, and was doing all he could to make me feel better. And he was completely lost as to why I was so pissed and being mean to him. And he was probably really confused when I sent that email telling him he was not my friend and to never talk to me ever again.
Well, despite my repeated attempts to make him leave me alone, he messaged me on Tuesday. At first, my gut reaction was to be massively pissed off. I decided to just ignore him and close that little chat window, but it kept popping up because he kept writing stuff. Luckily I had that epiphany on Monday, so I was I a good place mentally and for the first time I think I as able to talk to him without feeling angry and hurt. I was tired of being angry so I actually wrote him back. He was genuinely unaware of how I felt, and why I was so mad. So I told him we needed to talk.
He came over and we talked. We talked past midnight. I explained to him that all the stuff he was doing in trying to be my friend was really just making matters FAR worse, and in the processes he was just hurting more. We hashed all these issues out and in the end, I felt SO much better that we had finally had this conversation.
It’s the ones that mean the most to us that are capable of hurting us the most. But at the same time these are the relationships that you most want to keep, because they will be the most fulfilling over time. There was a time when I really thought we were never going to be friends again. I didn’t want to be friends anymore. I don’t think that anymore. Things are by no means back to normal for us. The damage as been done, but I am hopeful for the future now.
I was tired of being angry, it requires far too much energy and it’s just not me.

Feeling DAMN good today
So my buddy at work is on this gay bowling league. He keeps telling me how much fun it is and what great guys everyone is. I have been thinking of joining this league because it does seem like fun, just get together once a week and bowl and have fun. Mind you I suck more than you could ever imagine at bowling, but that is not the point. The point is to get together and have fun.
Last night I went to the bowling alley to just hang and see what it was all about. Normally I can’t stop by cause I am working out but my workout buddy was out of town and I wasn’t motivated enough to go alone. Anyway I went. It was cool, I met my friends bowling team and hung out wit them. Now lets get to the feeling damn good part.
After everyone was done bowling, I got hit on by this drunk boy. Mind you he seemed like a perfectly nice guy (drunk off his rocker but nice guy). And while he was talking to me I had an epiphany. I realized that it rocked to be single. I realized that I don’t want a man right now. I want a little bit of *me* time. And for the first time since he dumped me, I felt happy. Deep down inside happy. I was happy being single, I was happing with my life, and I realized that even though I may not have a man there is no need to feel lonely. I was happy!
When I drove home that night I felt SO good (no I did not hook up with that guy). I felt like my old self again. Damn it feels good to feel happy again. This is the piece of me that I have been missing, and it feels so good to have found it again! So lookout world, I am back! Now don’t mess with me cause you will get a smack down!

I'm going to hell, and let me tell you why
I woke up this morning around 5:30 am. When I woke up I could hear someone hacking outside. A very not so happy hacking cough. Mind you I live in the middle of Sacramento so clearly it's some homeless person outside. And the one thing I was thinking was "Oh please let there not be some dead homeless person leaning against my car when I leave for work." I said it before and I'll say it again. I am going to hell.

Scaring the str8 boiz
We all know by now the Ben and I are workout partners. And of course while we are working out we always scope out the guys at the gym. There is one guy in particular that is SO yummy. He is so cute and has a nice body. Not perfect mind you, but real human body (which I like). He is furry too! He has a beard, but not one of them full bears one of them thin just along the jaw line type beards…so sexy on him.
Anyway we were doing calf raises and that machine faces the hot tub and saunas (cause there is a glass wall inbetween). Anyway super yummy gym boi was walking to the sauna and I was making gestures with my head so Ben would see that he was there. Then Ben just turns and looks. It was SOOO obvious that I was gesturing for Ben to look, then Ben’s look was super obvious. It was hilarious. I think we freaked him out. When we went into the locker room he was getting out of the shower he got dressed never taking his towel off. We think we freaked him out. Hehe. Such scary gay bois staring at the boiz…hehe.

Is the doctor in?
This was an interesting weekend. My whole goal for this weekend was to do nothing. I have been running around for the past month and I just wanted a little break. So I was going to sit at home and do nothing. But we all know that plan never works.
Ben’s friend from San Diego was coming up on Saturday. And since she is supposed to be the nexus of all things happening in the universe I wanted to finally meet this person. So after my workout Saturday morning (yes I actually worked out, D and I went to a step class in the morning and it kicked my ass, it rocked) Ben called me and a bunch of us went to brunch. That was the beginning of our day. We all hung out all day long. It was loads of fun, they are all cool people. The funny thing is that all of this little circle of friends are all doctors. They all went to school together and all graduated at like the same time. Now they are doctors. They are all my age. I am an engineer, getting my masters in electrical engineering, but wow, they are so much smarter and motivated then me! I am not stupid mind you, but they are on a whole other level of not stupid.
Sunday was my day of nothing. I stayed home and did laundry and started to clean my apt. Things got accomplished so that was good. And I got to veg on the couch which was the plan all along for the weekend.

A day on the river
Yesterday’s team building event floating down the American River was the most fun team event I have EVER been on. We had two boats, 4 super soakers, and one thing who’s name I don’t know but gets people really wet and had really good range.
I met my future husband on the river yesterday, John, to bad John is straight.
I first saw this boy at the launch area, him and his buddies were getting their boat in the water while we were making our way there. Paul instantly looked at me and was like “oh I know which one you’re looking at.” I could not help myself, this boy was SOOO hot. He was tall, built, nice and ripped but not too ripped, furry, and had a really cute face. What more could you ask for in a boi?
So they got on the river way before us, but we caught up to them when we hit the rope swing cause him and his buddies were swinging on the rope swing. We stopped and a couple of the guys wanted to try it. Well when we shoved off, my boi went of the rope swing and the rope broke. He was in the water next to our boat and our admin told him to come aboard. His friends were still slowly getting their boat back in the water. So, that is how I met John. He was sitting right next to me. Beefy furry boy was sitting right next to me! I got to shake his hand (nice firm hand shake).
Anyway we eventually parted way and we were back to water fights amongst ourselves. In all it was a really really good time. I need to organize a river trip with my friends some time soon, before school starts again and my life is over.

Is it afternoon yet?
Today is our team event at work. We are rafting down the American River. This is going to be so much fun. But how am I supposed to concentrate on work this morning when we have this super cool event going to happen later in the day? The answer is I can’t. I wanna go float down the river!
So hopefully there will be some ultra yummy boiz on the river today and I will jump into their boat and say hi.

Men around the world rejoice
All you men out there (and I know it’s ALL of you), we now have a legitimate medical reason to jack off on a regular basis.
According to this article a study was performed that showed that men that masturbated on a regular basis reduced the risk of prostate cancer. Apparently ejaculating often prevents bad things such as carcinogens from building up in the prostate.
"The more you flush the ducts out, the less there is to hang around and damage the cells that line them," Graham Giles, of the Cancer Council Victoria in Melbourne, told New Scientist magazine on Wednesday.
And the absolute best line of the entire article,
"Men have many ways of using their prostate which don't involve women or other men," he added.
So yes, every man in America, whip out that porn and jack off. If anyone gives you shit, just say “Hey! I am preventing prostate cancer later in life!”

FUCK!!!!!!
I don’t normally swear in my blog but, FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I just had my little prescreening interview. It did nothing but prove I am in fact the biggest idiot known to mankind. They went straight for the kill asking me stuff that I know nothing about.
I hate that, cause it makes me look stupid. I admit I did not review that stuff, but you know even if I had it would not have mattered because I NEVER know that stuff, I flunked those classes in school. I didn’t think they were going ask that stuff.
And the job market is such that there are a zillion people applying for this position, the have no need to deal with anyone that does not have exactly the skills they want. I got denied, shut down hard core.
I am not gonna get upset though cause the reality of the situation is that I have my internship for another 10 months, and frankly I get paid more as in intern then I would if I had gotten that job so in the short term I am still ahead.

Serenity now!
I am freak’n out over here. Why you ask? It’s cause something really good is about to happen within the next hour and I am freaking out that I am going to mess it up.
Remember a while back I said I had super good news, but I didn’t want to say what it was because I didn’t want to jynx it? Well events have been unfolding very nicely in my favor and this morning, about 40 minutes from now I have a job interview. That is right, an honest to God job interview, for a real job. I say real job cause right now I am stuck in intern hell cause my company is not hiring real employees so I am stuck here as an intern with no benefits and losing my job every year cause your not allowed to be an intern for more then a year. And last week OMG I got an email from HR telling me about several positions that opened up. And today I have an interview.
The Weird thing is that its not a real interview, it’s a phone interview. And this is odd because everyone else I know that has already interviewed for this job has not had a phone interview first. I am not sure if this is a good or bad thing. See I have already spoken with the manager, I have friends that work for him that have been talking good about me and I know he asked them about me. Maybe they just wanna meet me and make sure I am really who I say I am. IN which case a phone interview is good cause they just wanna make sure all they heard was true and they already know they want me. Or they think I am a loser and need to prescreen me for an interview. That would be the bad way of interpreting this.
But I am gonna think positive. I have an interview for a real job and that is a damn good thing!
EVERYONE, send me good vibes I need the positive energy this morning!

New Dishwasher
My dishwasher broke a couple weeks ago. I finally got around to telling my landlord, and he finally got around to looking at it. He called me this morning to let me know he was going to install a brand new one tomorrow. Now most of you are probably thinking its no big deal. But you have to remember I live in a complex that was SO clearly built in the 70’s and it still has the original appliances. What does that that mean exactly? Well not only are all my appliances avocado green, but my dishwasher was SOOOO loud. Luckily my new kick ass stereo can drown it out, but when you got the A/C running and the dish washer, it’s loud in there. I am hoping my new dishwasher is whisper quite. I know it wont be because clearly I am getting the cheapest one in the store, but still it has to be quitter.
It is also a goal of mine to have all my appliances replaced before I leave this apartment. I already had my friends replaced last month (remember how happy I was that I finally had a freezer!). Now I will have a new dishwasher. All that is left is the avocado stove and vent, hmmm how can I swing getting all new stainless steal stuff there?

My 4th of July weekend
I am so tired right now. I need a vacation from this weekend. Is that too much to ask for? My weekend actually started off slow, I went to the parent’s house on the 4th for a little BBQ and to see some family that was there. So it was cool, but it was very mellow. So I didn’t really do anything on the 4th other then chill. On Saturday though I was determined to have a bit more fun!
Saturday I met this guy online and we were talking and he seemed cool. He was going to the Depot with his friend that night and said I should come buy a say hi. I said I would cause it would be fun, I like to meet new people after all. I invited my new friend D who I met online 3 weeks ago and have been hanging out with ever since, and the two of us were set to go. Then as luck would have it, right before I was about to hit the shower to get ready for going out, I get a call from J (J is my ex and even though we are still friends and talking I have not seen him since we broke up cause he lives kinda far away). He was in town and wanted to get together! I was like come on by dude! So now I got more people to hang with at the Depot. And J was meeting his friend there also.
So the three of us meet at my place and walk over to the Depot. We hook up with the guy I met online and his friend, and they turn out to be really cool people. We just chill and talk all night. I got me a smidge drunk and eventually D and I leave, I tell J we are leaving cause his keys are in my apt, but he is staying for a bit cause some guy is busy putting the mac on him. I don’t go to bed cause I kinda have to wait for J to come get his keys, and I am to drunk to sleep anyways and J come in with this guy! And I meet him but I don’t remember his name, it’s kinda a blur. Turns out this guy wanted to walk J to his car (isn’t that just SO sweet?).
And then to top it all off, I woke up the next morning and realized J and stolen my pants! Ha, got you attention there huh. So I have this pair of pants, that ever since J and I were going out, he likes to wear when we go out cause frankly he looks really good in them, way better then I do as a matter of fact. He always asks me to give them to him. Anyway so he was wearing my pants that night, and he went home still wearing them. Not intentionally but he still did. So now he has my pants and I have his shorts, imagine that. Anyway it’s a good thing cause it forced me to buy a new pair of jeans yesterday which I have been meaning to do forever. I told him he could keep the jeans, after all, he really does look way better in them then me.
I also had me some retail therapy. I bought an isight camera for my ibook. So if there is anyone out there that reads this blog and has an isight and you wanna chat sometime on ichat AV, let me now! I can play with me new toy.

Why is my hair not blue?
OK so this weekend in San Diego I was supposed to die my hair blue. I was all super excited about this! I mean blue hair, how cool is that? I had tried it before but it did not work because I did not bleach out my hair first. This time I frosted my tips and then died my hair. The point was not to have ALL blue hair, but just some blue, hence why I only frosted my tips.
Even when it was fresh, it was hardy blue. I mean the die did something because my hair was not blond anymore, but it was not blue. It was sort of a grey blue. Then by the time I got home there wasn’t any blue, and now it basically looks kind of golden. How on earth did it go from supposed blue to golden? Clearly the die I used sucked ass, and I will never use it again.
I will say, even though my hair is not blue, the weird mess up color it is actually looks kind of cool. So in all I pleased.

Some fun in the sun!
I got back from San Diego yesterday, and I came back with a supremely wicked sunburn. Not just any sunburn mind you, I am like super bright red. It hurts to move, it hurts to wear a shirt because it rubs against it. This is just not right, I am Peruvian, I should not burn like this, I should tan!
But sunburn aside, I had a really good time. We went to the beach and boogie boarded both days. We went out to a club Saturday night but I have to say it was not all the super because the DJ was not great. And if you don’t have a DJ that is on the same level as you, it’s just not fun to be all getting your groove on.
But the real reason to be in SD is to hit the beach and go boogie boarding with my friend Tina. I am a happy person when I got me a beach, and a boogie board.
I also tried to die my hair blue. I use the work try because it did not turn out well. I bleached it out, then died it blue. But the blue I had clearly sucked. My hair isn’t even blue. It’s more a a grayish blond color. Mind you it still looks cool but its not blue. Next time I need to find me a more superior blue.
Per a friends request I will post a pic of my sunburn, but first I need to get it off my digital camera, which it at home and I am here at work. I will do it tonight.

Sunny San Diego beaches here I come!
In just a few short hours (5.5 to be exact) I will be boarding a plane and on my way to San Diego to visit my friends. I can’t even begin to express how much I need this little vacation. Some people think I am a freak for going to SD this weekend since its Pride in SF which is like the big thing every self respecting homo in CA should go to.
Brace yourselves, but I have NEVER been to Pride in SF. It’s true I have just never gone. I had never had friends that wanted to go and I certainly didn’t want to go alone. This year was supposed to be the year I went to Pride. David and I were going to go together. But as we all know from reading this site, he kind of dumped me not too long ago. So shortly after that I decided that rather then sit at home alone being depressed while everyone was at Pride I would just be in San Diego kick’n it on the beach with my friends. After all, can’t feel crappy about missed Pride cause I got dumped when I am on the beach. So that is my reason for missing Pride, yet again!
I really am not too bummed about it though. Seriously, I am sure Pride is darn fun and all, but come on, beach in San Diego!!! Instead of being in a hot crowded street, I will be boogie boarding. Anyway I will be going to the Folsom Street Fair this year. Ben and I have set that as our target date to be in shape.

Eye Candy
Ben and I have been going to the gym together for the past 3 weeks. He is a good gym buddy cause not only does he keeps me motivated, but we have the same exact taste in guys so we always scope out the boiz together.
Yesterday we were stretching and there was this boi next to us doing pushups and you could totally see his furry belly. We both just turned and looked at each other and where like “did you see that furry bell!?!?!” We officially named this boi “Furry Belly Boy”
There was this other boy there last night too, he was SO hot. But he was with some girl, who clearly was probably his girl friend. How lame is that? But Furry Belly Boy was clearly family.
Did this article have a point? I think pictures would have made it better huh?

My brain has left the building
I am going to San Diego this weekend for a little bit of vacation fun. Unfortunately it’s only Thursday morning and my brains seems to have already checked out. I want to be on the beach and boogie boarding right now! This guy is also going to be down there the same time as me so we may hookup and do a little bit of party fun action.

The Dilbert Zone
Help I am trapped in Dilbert hell right now! Here is the situation. There is a team event today. Mind you it’s not exactly my team, but we are invited because we work very closely with this team. So we are allowed to go. But, I have a meeting during this team event. During the last hour actually so it would mean I totally can’t go. Whether or not I actually have to attend this meeting is not really clear. And the worst part is that I wont really know if I should have attended the meeting until after I do attend it and its over.
Do you see my dilemma here people? I don’t want to bail on this meeting just to get reamed later cause I should have been there. But who would not want to play outside in the sun rather than be trapped in cubical land on a nice afternoon?

Out of the ashes of a bad day
This past weekend started out on a very bad foot, but as fate would have it, it turned out to be a really good weekend! I was supposed to go to the boy bar with some friends since I was determined not to sit at home and be depressed anymore. I was all excited I was gonna go out and have a good time. But at the last minute all my friends bail on me. Now I am all dressed up and nowhere to go.
Well, you see earlier that day I had been talking with this guy online. He just randomly messaged me and we hit it off. Well after all my friends bailed on me I started talking to him some more. We decided we should go to do something. We went at meet at a coffee shop. We were there till midnight talking till they closed and kicked us out. After that we went to the boy bar and stayed there till last call. It turned out to be a really nice time.
Anyway we hung out a lot over the weekend and he is a really cool guy. And the coolest thing was this wasn’t someone that wanted to hook up. We just hung out all weekend. And really that is all I want right now is a good friend, and I think this guy fits that description. And it also doesn’t hurt that he is a hottie :-P

I’m more white trash then you
So this Saturday my friends invited me to this party/BBQ. A friend of theirs was having this little get together and she lives up in the hills in the middle of nowhere. And by nowhere I mean nowhere. We got lost twice on the way there. We had to stop and ask direction from some person with no teeth. Ah, but such is the town of Brownsville (what, you never heard of it, well I hadn’t either).
We finally get there (after 2 hours of 5 of us being stuck in this civic coupe) and we walk up to the house. The local boys are already nicely drunk and have decided to create a rope swing on one of the little drop offs on the property. It was hilarious watching these boys, with a helmet on swing around this tree and slamming themselves against the hill. Good times were had by all.
The jello shots were strong, the jungle juice was strong. The BBQ was good and the people were interesting. Good times, good people.
Now to the part we all really care about, where there any yummy country boys there? At first I didn’t think so. But you have to take into account it was an 80’s themed get together so everyone was dressed like crap. But after the rope swing fun several of them changed, so by the end of the night most of the boys where wearing normal cloths. This is when I realized the yumminess that is Justice. Yes you read that right, his name is Justice. Isn’t that just the coolest name ever?
I was eyeing that boy all night. But clearly he was completely straight, ::sigh:: At the end of the evening he spilled something on his shirt so he took it off to clean it. YUM, that is all I have to say about that. Well that and clearly he was not wearing any underwear. Anyway moving on. He put on a different shirt, so sad. Thank god he is never going to read this and hopefully this will not get back to him, he might kick my ass, hehe.
So Saturday was a good day. I’m glad I went to this little BBQ cause I was just sitting at home feeling alone and depressed. Have I mentioned how much I hate weekends lately?

I need your help!
I decided I need to start my own political party, but it needs a name. A friend of mine said it needed to form the acronym HOMOSROCK. So given that constraint I started to think of names. Thus far I only have:
Hemp Owning Man Orgy Sex Rally Organization Creating Knowledge
I need suggestions people. So think of something good and leave it in my comments. Person with the best name wins a prize!
** I never said the prize would be a good prize :-P

Grrr, weddings
So I had to attend this wedding. I didn’t really particularly want to go to this wedding but my mom reamed me and so I went. And really, who wants to go to a wedding and see all these happy people when you just got dumped? So I went into the experience expecting to be all bitter and angry like, but it didn’t totally end up that way. The actual ceremony left me feeling better. Almost like it renewed my faith in love.
The reception on the other hand did not renew my faith. No joke here, I was the only single guy there. When the groom threw the guarder belt there were only all 10 year old in the crowd trying to catch it. Damned if I was going to be the loser in that crowed.
Luckily I had an excuse. You see the groom asked me if I would video tape the wedding and reception for him because I guess whoever was going to do it bailed, or maybe they never had anyone to do it. So I was the guy with the video camera. I had a killer spot for the ceremony too. The wedding planner did not want me to be seen, but I was hiding behind the pulpit so I was on the alter, oh ya. Unfortunately it turned out to not be as super a spot as I had imagined because of the way the groomsmen were located and how I was located (hiding) you could not see the bride cause she was mainly blocked by the groom, and I mostly saw the grooms back. But I still got some nice shots. The only other spot would have been on the balcony and that would have been way far away so I choose not to do that.
Other then that, I was at my parent’s house all weekend because they keep giving me attitude for never coming home. I hate going home. There is nothing to do at my parent’s house. I have no friends there anymore (except one) and all I do is sit in my room and watch TV or surf the net. I am already feeling lonely and depressed enough I don’t need to be trapped in my parents house with no human contact.
Rarely do I actually want the weekend to be over and the week to began, but it’s been like that the past two weekends. At least during the work week I am busy and distracted, the weekend I just sit at home and dwell on things that just make me feel miserable. I swear I am feeling better though, really. As a whole I feel much better now, but I still have my moments...

Yesterday was a good day
Those who know me know I have been feeling kind of lonely and depressed lately due to certain events but yesterday was a good day. I got to meet Ben. It’s always good to meet new friends, especially when you're feeling down. I got to meet both Ben and his boyfriend. I have convinced Ben he needs to be my gym partner, which is a good thing because going by yourself sucks. Much easier to be motivated when your working out with someone else. We start working out next week (yee haw)
I had talked to Ben online before, but yesterday I got to finally meet him in person, and the funny thing is he lives literally 10 blocks away from me. He’s a cool guy.
Current Mood: optimistic

A hard decision
I made a really tough decision this weekend, I have decided I need to end all contact with David. I tried to be all nice and still be friends, but I can’t do that, it hurts too much. And what hurts more is how D will just be all bubbly and happy when he calls me, the fact that he is totally unaffected by this just upsets me more, like he never really cared about me at all.
I have decided I need time away from him. I need him out of my life right now. I need to find myself and try to regain my happiness. To that end I have block him from my chat clients and I am not gonna be talking to him on the phone anymore either. This decision is the first thing that has felt right. I know this is something I have to do. I really hope that in the future (hopefully not to distant) we can be friends again, but right now it just is not gonna happen.
OK given that I have made this decision to pick myself up and get back on track, this is officially the last post on this subject. (yippy no more listening to Scott bitch :-)

Um what?
Someone either back me up on this one, or tell me I am crazy. D broke up with me on tuesday and I want to distance myself from him cause I don't really want to be around or interact with him right now. He just called me to ask if I would take care of his cats while he bombed his house for flees. Am I the only one that sees this as slightly inappropriate? His is acting like nothing happened like he didn't just rip my heart out 5 days ago.... Anyway I told him I would only do it if no one else would do it and he really really needed me to do it. See this just kind of makes me feel like I am being walked on because I still care about him.

I’m so pathetic
This morning in the shower I caught my self thinking of ways that I could make D jealous, or somehow realize he made a mistake in dumping me next time I see him. How pathetic is that? Why should I even want to take him back? Who’s to say he’s not going to just to the same thing to me again? I don’t like these thoughts in my brain I want them gone.
Current Theme Song: Cry- Faith Hill (This is the best song every cause it matches my mood perfectly, sad, whishing he was still with me, but still kinds pissed that he’s ok and I’m miserable. I got the short end of the stick here, if I’m unhappy he should be unhappy to. Come on "cry just a little for me")
**I apologize for the less then happy posts lately, but this weblog is my way of venting, and I am not quite done venting. But hopefully I will return to my bubbly happy self soon. Seriously though, all this venting on my site is making me feel better I just need to get the way I am feeling out there.

mmmmm angry music
Normally I just listen to internet radio at work. But today I wanted my music collection so I brought in my ibook (cause all my music is on it). This gives me the opportunity to listen to all the angry music I own rather then the normal homo-gay music that I listen to on the internet.
...
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it
...
Go Alanis, tell it girlfriend!
I’m feeling much better now :-)
No I am not all super bitter and angry, in fact I have been talking to D over MSN (don’t think I could handle the in person thing just yet) but come on, sometimes your just in the mood for some good old fashion angry music! It’s all good.

Unhappy place
I don’t really know how to write this article, cause I have no idea what to say. I don’t know how I am feeling or how to put that into words. But I know I need to say something because I need to vent a little here, so bare with me if this makes no sense and completely lacks coherency (or if I go into full drama queen mode).
Yesterday was supposed to be a really good day. After a year of living without a freezer, my landlord got me a brand new fridge (with a freezer). On top of that I did some serious retail therapy and dropped a whole whack of money on a kick ass sound system. I was all bubbly when I got home from work.
But I guess happiness can only last so long before the universe bitch slaps you and smacks you back to the ground. David broke up with me last night. This sucks more then I can express. I was so unbelievable happy with him. I would even go so far as to say the he was the the one. But apparently he did not seem to be thinking on the same lines as me.
So here we are, in his car with a 30 minute drive back my apt and I get this dropped in my lap. You know that last place you want to be is trapped in car with someone right after they break up with you. Don’t get me wrong he was really nice about it, it wasn’t a bitter angry breakup kind of thing but still.
Now I get back to my place, with all the necessary components to start putting my home theater system together, but now I’m crying.
Ugh, this just sucks, this sucks a lot. I have never felt for anyone they way I felt for him. It just felt SO right. So yeah, I am still kinda in that did that just really happen kind of state.
Anyway I think its time to just give up on men, become a born again Christian and married some born again Christian x-dyke.
Ok enough bitter angry Scott. I’ll write again when I am in a better mood.

Vacation from my vacation….
This Memorial Day weekend was awesome, but man was it tiring.
Friday – After work a bunch of us drove down to the Bay Area and went to Gay Day at Great America. It was so much fun, riding all the rides and stuff. It was kind of odd though cause there really wasn’t that much eye candy.
Saturday – Slept in since we got back at round 2 am from Great America. Then the boyfriend and I drove to the Bay Area again to go to a friends Memorial Day BBQ. It was really cool cause I got to see a lot of my friends I have not seen in a while.
Sunday – The BF and I had to wake up early to go to his parents house to do massive yard work. His mom had 2 trees cut down on their property and now we had to round up all the pieces, drag them up the hill and stack then so that a later weekend we can split them into firewood. This was SO much work. Wow, who new so much wood could be produced by two trees.
Monday – I was supposed to sleep in but could not, I woke up at 6 am (suck monkey). So I just started doing mass quantities of laundry and began cleaning the apartment.
In all this weekend was really good, but we packed so much into it, I need a vacation now!

I curse Verizon Wireless
I hate Verizon Wirless, I hate them a lot right now. I tried to register to use their online account manager this morning, but it kept saying the info I entered did not match their records. So I called to figure out what the hell their issue was. They asked me my name and to verify who I am they asked for my last for digits of my SSN. This is where they inform my I didn’t give them the correct SSN. Like hell I did not! I think I know my own personal info. So now I have to go to a store and show them my Drivers License and my SS Card to prove that I am actually me. I should have known something like this was wrong, when I signed up the misspelled my name. I swear, all this hell just cause some brain dead idiot could not enter my information correctly into the computer and now all of a sudden I am not me. Funny how they don’t seem to have a problem billing me and taking my money even though they think I am not me.
And the whole lamest part of this is that I am not going to change carriers. And they know I wont cause if I change I lose my phone number and I don’t want to lose my phone number cause that is a pain in the ass. I can’t wait till they pass this law that says you can take your cell number with you between carriers.

Rude Awakening
I woke up in the middle of the night last night to some voice emanating from inside my apartment. Mind you I live alone, so that is not right. Needless to say I was freaked.
But the thing about it was, is it didn't sound like a real voice it sounded computer generated. If I were to venture a guess I would say it sounded like my answering machine when you reset it, it has this annoying message telling you what button to push to start configuring it. But when I got up and went to the living room, my answering machine was not reset. As far as I know it’s the only appliance I own that talks.
Anyway I had trouble falling asleep after that. I want to know what that was, but I will probably never know.

New job = retail therapy
I started my job again. This means I now have income again. This means I need to celebrate by shopping right? I am really thinking I need an ipod. Or rather I know I need an ipod. It is the prefect complement to iTunes and me now downloading all this digital music from the new iTunes music store.
I have however decided I am not allowed to buy it until after this semester is over. I have SO much work to do before finals and if I buy a toy I will get distracted. We can't have that. S0 I am going to hold off, for a couple weeks. Yup.....
It feels good to be back at work. Although its odd sitting in front of a computer 8 hours a day again. But I can't wait for my first paycheck. Ahhh.....pay credit card bills.... :)

So I am lame. When your on unemployment every two weeks you have to mail in your claim form to get your money. One time, I kept forgetting to mail it. I finally got a letter telling me that my reason for being late was unacceptable and they are not gonna pay me for those 2 weeks. BASTARDS!!!!!

Friendster
So I was going through my personal network on Friendster just to see who all was in it. I found several bloggers in my network (Shel - homotexual, Michael - Dogpoet just to name a few). It's kinda odd to see that I have this "connect" to people I know but don't know.
So if any y'all wanna add me to you friends list, go for it! (I am registered under the email address: friendster@poweredbygay.com) It's my goal to have a billion friends on my list. I only have 5 right now, I need a few more :)

mmmm ... furry Paul Walker
I was at the grocery store and while I was getting into line I saw a copy of Teen People. On the cover was a picture of Paul Walker. He was all scruffy and his shirt was unbuttoned showing of his furry chest. Ya! That is what I like to see on a magazine cover. That is one yummy boy, dumber than a rock, but yummy.
I tried to find that pic on the net but I could not. So sad, so very sad :-P

Shopping for Dad
Does anyone else out there find it really hard to shop for your Mom and Dad? Tomorrow is my Dad's birthday and I have been so busy with school work I never ever thought about what I am gonna get him.
So today I decide I have to get a present, certainly that is more fun that doing my homework right? But this leads to the problem of what to get! They are your parents, they don't like things, they don't even have lives...right?
Right before lunch I had inspiration though, and I went and I got him something. Not gonna say what cause even though I don't think he even knows about this site, much less reads it, I still don't wanna spill the beans :)
So let's all just hope he likes his gift. If not he can pass it one to me cause I sure would like to have it :P

Good things come when and where you least expect
I have been debating whether or not to write this post. And it's for several reasons. For one I was afraid it might not be appropriate, and frankly I was kind of afraid J might read it and I am not sure how he would react. But then I though, why shouldn't I write this, no one is being forced to read my site, and really I don't have anything to hide or be ashamed of, especially when it comes to something that makes me happy. So here it goes
The past weekend ROCKED something hard core. Those who read my site know I broke up with J one week ago. In that time someone new has come into my life. Now I know what your thinking. I did not just go find some random guy off the street just to make me feel better.
I met D a while ago actually. We became fast friends. We have a lot in common. In fact I have more in common with him than anyone else know. But that was the extent of it, I was with J and honestly I never thought about him in any other way than just a friend. Although everyone around us that saw us said we would make a cute couple. Which by the way is a weird complement to take cause I was with someone else. I mean how are you supposed to respond to that?
Anyway D and I have been hanging out a lot, and I never meant for anything to happen because he was my friend and I had just broken up with J and it just seemed kinda weird. But this weekend one thing lead to another and poof, now there is D and I.
At first I admit I kind of resisted the idea, I mean it had only been a week. But then I just finally realized I was thinking too much. D makes me happy. I feel great when I am with him. I look forward to seeing him. Yes it does seem kind of soon, but sometimes you just have to not think about things so logically.
So that is my story, or at least all I want to tell of it right now. This past weekend has made Scott a very happy guy, and that is a good thing.

Look, my new dresser!
Posted by Scott at 09:22 PM | Comments (0)
A little bit of retail therapy in my life
So I was feeling a little bit bumed yesterday (because of the events which unfolded on monday) and so I decided I needed a little bit of retail therapy. I had no idea what I wanted to buy, I just wanted to go shopping.
After talking with my buddy David we decided to go to Ikea after he got of work. So after he got off work, I picked him up and we made the hour drive to Ikea. Didn't really know what I was going to do there specially since I can't really buy anything due to my unemployed status, but hey it was good to get out.
I ended up buying something though. I got me a new dresser. I have been wanting a new dresser forever and ever. My current dresser is WAY to small. I used to have this phat dresser but when I moved in with my brother (after losing my job the first time) I had this super tiny room and it would not fit, so my brother and I swapped dressers. He got my kickass dresser and I got his teeny tinny dresser and that is how it has stayed. But no more, I have a real dresser again!
So yeah, retail therapy. Didn't really make me feel any better cause all I did on the drive home was think of J. ::sigh::
But anyway, new dresser, yippee!

Love Hurts
Those two words could not be truer. Today has not been a good day. Today sucked more than the telling of it. My boyfriend and I just broke up. We had been going out for six months. He is the first guy I have really been in love with.
This was coming though. I was pacing around the apartment with the phone in hand forever before I actually got the courage to dial his number. When he picked up I uttered the words that would change everything "are you happy with us?" I was not looking forward to the response but I needed to know the answer.
I was trying so hard to not cry while on the phone with him, but how could I not? I was witnessing the end of our relationship. It was like it wasn't really happening.
This was not a bitter break up or anything like that. Without getting into details (which I don't want to get into right now) it simply wasn't meant to be for us right now. It was no one's fault. There was no anger, no resentment, just that heart wrenching feeling deep inside of knowing that it was over.
We went out to dinner afterwards. Saying goodbye to him in person was more than I could stand. Mental note, one should not be driving while trying to choke back tears.
So that is it. He is still my friend. He will always be my friend. No regrets, no anger, no resentment, just the sadness of it ending.

no freezer, um grrr
My landlord stood me up. No freezer for Scott. The universe just does not want be to have a freezer. This is upsetting. I was all excited yesterday....
Posted by Scott at 02:53 PM | Comments (0)
A freezer, yippee!
I get a new fridge in my apartment today. The best part about this is that this new fridge has a freezer!!!! Right about now your thinking "gee well don't they all." NO, they do not. My current fridge actually does not have a freezer. It has an "ice box" but it doesn't do jack shit and it's so small you can't fit anything in it anyway.
A week or so back I actually asked my landlord if he would be willing to cut a deal with me to spilt the cost of a new fridge (I wanted a freezer that badly). He said he would get back to me. He didn't ever get back to me so I just assumed the answer was a no.
Yesterday my landlord comes up to me and say "come with me." I was freaked I at first thought I had done something wrong (did I blow up the laundry room and not now about it?). We walk to one of the other apartments, the tenant had just moved out. Inside is a fridge with a freezer, a freezer I tell you. My landlord asked me if I wanted to swap. UM, HELL YEAH I WANNA SWAP. So today at 1 pm we are going to swap the fridges and I will have a freezer! Costco here I come!
You have no idea what it is like living without a fridge. Seriously, it's something you have to learn how to do. All you out there, take your freezer for granted. My friends would make fun of me cause I didn't have a freezer. Well no more, I am one of the lucky ones again!
I know you guys probably don't care, but this makes me happier than words can express.

Stop popup ads
I am currently watching Good Day Sacramento and they are having a story on different pieces of software you can install to stop popup ads from appearing on you screen so you can have a better web surfing experience. I'm sorry but this just shows how brain washed by Microsoft people are.
Let me educate you people out there. There is this other browser out there, it's called Mozilla. It works on EVERY platform available. It blocks popup ads. Yes its true, I have not seen a popup in over a year. So to all you people out there freaking out about popups, watching stories on the news like the one I just saw. I have one word of advice, don't download extra software, just download and use a real browser. Mozilla the browser of the future.

Car wash, celebrity sighting
Also while I was there I saw Gary Gelfand from Good Day Sacramento (the best morning show EVER). Not exactly the biggest star on the face of the planet but hey, it was neat (although not as neat as the time LL Cool J walked up next to me and ordered a drink at a bar in a hotel in Huntington Beach).

Can't stop shopping
I needed new shoes. This was not a want, this was a need. I simply could not hold out any longer. So the boyfriend and I went to the shopping outlets. I decided I wanted another pair of Vans cause I like my last pair O so much. When we get there, we find they are having a sale where you buy two and get one pair free. Next think I know I own two new pairs of shoes and my boyfriend has a free new pairs of shoes. I really need to stop shopping like this.

In the zone
The boyfriend and I went bowling last night. I am very bad at bowling. And by that I mean I am very bad at bowling. I usually score somewhere around 80. I have never broken 100 in my life. On our first game I was totally in the zone, I bowled a 143!!!!! I was so happy with myself! :) The next game I was back to my old self and bowled an 82. But the point here is that I did finally break 100.

I have become so domestic
A couple days ago I baked rice crispy treats. Currently I am making enchiladas. Tomorrow I am going to be making homemade chili. I suppose this is what happens when you’re unemployed and have nothing better to do. Maybe soon I will bake some cookies and maybe a cake!

Just one of the boyz
Have I mentioned before that I have some of the coolest straight friends in existence? Well I do. Last night I finally got my buddy Mike (from work) to go to The Depot with me. It actually all sort of happened by accident. I originally was not going to go out at all. I was just going to stay at home with the boyfriend. As it turned out, my boyfriend ended up not coming down, so I went to the gym with my buddy Marck. After the gym we were going to go out to The Depot. Mike was at a concert and was going to be in town, so I left him a voice mail telling him he had to go out with us. After our workout, Mike got a hold of me and I convinced him to come (even though he was complaining it was past his bedtime). This was his first time to a gay establishment in like 10 years, his first time to The Depot.
When the three of us got to The Depot we hooked up with a couple of Marck’s friends and hung out with them for a while. Later some of my friends showed up and we all started to hang out with them. This is where my buddy Paul started to try and convince Mike that he was truly gay and just needed a little nudge in the right direction. Mike is great cause he doesn’t let that stuff get to him he is just one of the gurls when we are hanging out. Any straight boy willing to hand out with me at a boy bar rocks, it’s that simple.
Can I just say Jägermeister is the bomb? After my second shot of jäger ( I was also drinking me some yummy Shmirnoff Ice) I had me a good buzz going on. This is when I start doing crazy things, for instance. Mike for some reason produced a mint flavored condom (I have no idea why). We were all kind of shocked, was he expecting something tonight? I’m sure his wife would not approve ;-) He said there was some guy just handing out condoms. He said there were all flavors, including chocolate, but it smelled like grapes not chocolate. Next thing I know one of the guys we were with produced one of these chocolate condoms. He took it out of the package to see if it did smell like grapes. This is the part where I must disagree with Mike. That sucker smelled like a tootsie roll, not like grapes. The next part here was clearly alcohol induced I decided I needed to taste this chocolate condom to see if it really did taste like chocolate and not grapes. It tasted just like it smelled, like a tootsie roll. We also took the mint one out, I didn’t smell or taste that one. Anyway this whole experiment in flavored condom fun ended up with condoms under our feet, which was odd cause who likes stepping on condoms at a bar?
I can’t believe I just wrote that.

Um GRRR….
So far in the 1 week and 1 day I have been unemployed I have received two parking tickets right in front of my apartment. The first time was because I did not have a parking permit yet for my car. Here in Sacramento you need a residential parking permit to park in a residential area or else its only 2 hour parking. They are easy enough to get I have just never gotten it cause it only applies M-F 8-5 and I was always at work so it didn’t matter. The second parking ticket, I just received about five seconds ago was cause I left my car on the street during street cleaning. Mental note, must remember that Monday morning is street cleaning day, park car on other side of street the night before.
Two parking tickets in a row sucks monkey when you unemployed, especially when its for stupid reasons. Oh well, I love living in the city, I just need to remember to follow the rules.

Why must large evil corporations be in my life?
I do my best to stay away from large, huge, all encompassing, trying to rule my life corporations. I have been Microsoft free for some time now. I have been running Linux at home, then I bought an ibook. I am completely M$ free. Then I finally got rid of my AT&T Broadband / Comcast cable and replaced it with DirectTV satellite. I am stuck with SBC for my phone carrier, but my DSL is provided via Covad. In all I say I have a good balance, but sometimes these corporations try and mess up your perfect plan.
SBC is currently trying to buy DirectTV. The reasoning being that cable companies now are offering telephone service and can bundle this all in one package. SBC wants to be able to do this too. Hence it feels that if it owns DirectTV they can provide this service to me. Oh gee, lucky me! I am trying to not have you in my life and you and ruin my plans by buying the very companies I chose to avoid you! Grrrr….
All I have to say is I hope this deal does not go through. DirectTV currently has great service, and SBC will only ruin it. Trust me, I used to work for them, I know how they operate. They take a perfectly happy company, buy them, convert them to their way of business (thereby destroying the company) and you are left with horrific customer service and a so-so product.

Blog fodder
Sometimes something so random and so inconceivable happens that it’s as if God himself created this event for the sole purpose of writing about it in your blog. That is what happened last night.
My buddy Marck and I went to the gym super late last night. We were there till about 12:30 in the morning. After our workout we went and hung out in the hot tub. We were talking to this one guy, having a conversation about companies and jobs (since both Marck and I are currently jobless). While we are talking this Obese african american female who was past her prime gets into the hot tub. She says hi and we say hi to her.
While we are all talking she makes her way to our side of the hot tub. She gets up right next to Marck. Not just next to him I mean next to him. This can be forgiven, maybe she just wanted to sit in front of a jet or something. Marck politely moves over and she gives him this weird look. Anyway we keep talking, and this chick is slowly creeping up next to Marck. Poor Marck keeps giving me these freaked out looks. This is odd, why is this random chick so insistent on being practically on Marck? So this goes on for a while and Marck then gets out of the hot tub, sitting on the edge with his feet still in the water. I think cool, Marck gracefully got out of this situation. I thought too soon. The chick them gets out too, and slides up next to him. God I will never forget (and neither will Marck) the whole squish squish squish of her sliding over to be touching Marck.
This situation clearly had to end, so all three of us that were talking simultaneously decide that we have been in the hot tub enough and we need to get out. When we get into the locker room, Marck flips out screaming Scott, she touched me! She touched me Scott! I feel Marck’s pain, this was SO wrong, but I can’t help but laugh cause it is just too damn funny.
We can only hope we do not run into Marck’s new girlfriend tonight :P

A night out on the town
Saturday was the birthday of a friend of mine. To celebrate a bunch of us where going to hit up the local dance club Faces. We had a good time. We went back and forth from the Hip Hop room to the Dance room. The DJ in the dance room just wasn't working it the way I like. I think the music is better on Fridays personally. Anyway back to the point.
I saw two people I never would have expected to see. The first guy I saw is this random guy from Santa Cruz (from back in the day when I lived there). I met him online, we chatted for a bit, then we decided to just drive to San Francisco that night and hit a club. Very out of character for me, I don't normally meet internet freaks (I mean that in a nice way). This was not a hook up mind you, it really was just to go to a club and party. The point is, that I saw this guy at Faces on Saturday. This is so odd to me because he used to be in Santa Cruz, but not only that, he was only in Santa Cruz for the summer because he went to school in New York. I being a freak didn't say hi to him. I doubt he remembers me. Maybe he does, I guess I will never know, unless I see him there again.
The second person I saw there that I did not expect to see what Dogpoet. Well at first I didn't know it was Dogpoet, I have never met him in person, I have never talked to him for that matter. But I have seen his pic on his website, and I swore this guy on the dance floor looked just like him. Then upon reading his site today I learned that he did in fact go to Faces over the weekend. It was him. I should have said hi. But that would have been kinda odd. Hi I read your site my name is Scott.
It just goes to show, you never know who you will see on the dance floor, even here in Sacramento.

The end of an era
I filled out my paperwork, my boss escorted me to the security desk where I handed over my badge and left the building. It’s official, Monday I have no job to go back to.
I didn’t expect to be this sad about leaving. I am going to miss all my friends at work. I am going to miss working. This is the first job I have left and actually felt sad. My first job at Pacbell/SBC was such nightmarish hell and I got screwed so many times, quitting and walking out of there was orgasmic. My second job I got laid off completely out of the blue and I was in a complete state of rage when I walked out. Not to mention that job was also rather hellish so I was glad to be released from my torment (after the rage of being laid off wore off). But this job, this was a good job. I admit things did not go entirely as planned, meaning I didn’t end up with a real job after my internship. I was treated good, they paid me well, and I really liked everyone I worked with. Not to mention I will be going back for my second internship in three months. So yeah, this job was sad to leave.

All people are welcome at the house Powered By Gay
Yesterday this random guy decided he was going to ad me to his contact list on his IM client. I went ahead and let him ad me to his list. Then he started to talk to me, in French. I didn’t talk to him much cause I don’t speak French and he does not speak English.
This morning (right now actually) he decided to message me again. I was like Dude I don’t speak French! I decided to get a bit inventive. So I pointed my web browser to Babel Fish on AltaVista. I then proceeded to have a conversation with this guy. Not a good conversation mind you since everything he wrote (most of it misspelled) got translated all weird, and I am sure my stuff got all translated weird.
I did manage to find out he is 18 lives in Paris. That is about it. He doesn’t say much anything of relevance. His last message did not make sense so now I am at a loss as what to say in response.
How this person found me on IM I don’t know. It’s fun though. As long as I don’t find any dead animals on my front porch tomorrow…

Random Instant Message conversations
Sometimes you get messages from friends, and even though they are perfectly innocent, they are damn funny when interpreted with a slightly filthy mind.
T: What are you doing for vd?
ME: antibiotics :P
T: lol
ME: um but seriously, I have no idea
Come on, if your friend had asked you that same question you would have responded like that, the temptation is simply too great!
As for Valentine’s I really have no idea what I am gonna do. Can you believe this is the first year ever I am going to have a valentine?

I paid for this?
Today was my first day of classes for the semester. I walk into my first class and my professor is not there. There is some replacement guy the professor got to give some presentation since he could not make it to class. So I listen to this presentation, it’s not to bad, but it’s not really important for the class. The presentation finishes early and now I have 30 min till my next class. Then when its time for my next class, that professor is not showing up. He sent some person to just take role and hand out the syllabus and we just left.
So the question begs to be asked. I paid $600 for this? If I am going to be paying for my professors to not show up, that is kind of lame.
The only benefit to this is that I got to go home early.

Super Bowl: Radio Station Fun
My friend won a radio station contest last week. She won a brand new 32 inch flat screen Sony Vega television (sweet) and a Super Bowl party at her house. I show up at her house around 2pm, not many people are there but the morning show guys are there. One of them was SOOO hot. I of course being the loser wimp that I am, am too shy to go introduce myself.
They end up leaving before the game. Most of the people at the party don’t really even like football, or they don’t like the teams so they could care less. So not everyone was really watching the game, a lot of us were just socializing. Once the crowed began to thin out during the third quarter then we started to filter into the living room and watch the end of the game. Wow the Raiders were getting their asses kicked! The parts of the game I saw were good.
Anyway back to the Radio Station. I just wrote the morning guys an email. I hope the read it and get back to me! I was telling them a story about how during some alcohol induced haze, some homeless crack addict walking down the street ended up getting invited into the house. They fed him and all. Then after the funniness wore off, it was decided this guy really did need to leave. So the girl that invited him kicked him out. It was kinda sad cause he was all confused and didn’t really know what has going on. Well I told this story, then at the end of the email I felt it necessary to reveal that I though the picture for one of the guys on the website did not do him justice and I thought he was really hot. I was talking to the radio station promotion guy about this. I was getting the skinny on who was family (the guy I though was hot is very much not family, but he is still hot).

Dreams
I had this dream last night, and now I am going to share it with all of you!
This dream is about me camping with some friends. The stars of my dream: Me, Jimbo, Sean, some unknown chick. I find the people in my dream to be kind of odd. Clearly I should be in this dream, so that is normal. Jimbo is just a fellow blogger. I have never met him, I have never talked to him, I just read his weblog everyday. I know what he looks like because he has pictures of himself on his site. Sean was one of my best friends from high school. But he ended up dropping out of college, becoming a pot smoking hippie, walked the earth, then just vanished from existence. This unknown chick is interesting. In fact, Roger, I think it’s your fault she was in my dream cause I think she is the chick from your Gulf Wars Episode II poster.
Anyway onto the dream. We were camping. I never actually saw our camp ground, cause we were hiking, but I just knew we were there camping. We are on this hike, in one of my favorite spots that I like to go camping/hiking (which is interesting cause we were in a place that I have never been). We get to a lake and we need to go around it. This is where the group splits up. One way around you have to cross the lake. I realize that it makes no sense cause if your going around a lake, clearly you don’t need to cross it. But my brain is jacked, this is like a lake river combo, and this direction you have to cross it. But I am familiar with this lake and I know the crossing is nothing, wont even hardly get wet. So Jimbo, poster chick, and I take that way. Sean does not want to cross the lake so he goes the other way to go around.
When we get to the point where we have to cross, it’s not a simple crossing. We have to full on get into the lake and swim in order to cross. Jimbo and I totally don’t care, we just jump right in, start playing in the water and are having a super fun time. We see Sean on the other side and we shout to him Dude, come on in, its fun!. So Sean jumps in and start swimming with us.
We swim to the other side and Jimbo and I get out and start sunning ourselves on the rocks and work on getting a good all over tan.
This is where the alarm goes off, it’s time to hit the gym.

New trend in corporate meetings
I was joking with my buddy about a presentation I have to give today. I said I should change the background to black and make the text florescent blue. I of course am being stupid cause what could be more annoying than that color combination. My friend then replies that I should also get a fog machine and give everyone ecstasy before the meeting.
I think this could start a whole new trend in corporate meetings. The Rave Meeting. I mean people will be lining up to go to your presentations. They will all be like Dude, Scott is giving a presentation today, lets hurry up and go so we can get a good seat!

Your Thursday Funnies
A co-worker of mine just emailed this little joke to me, and now I am gonna share it with you. Anyone who suffers from job dissatisfaction should read.
*Click on the Read More link to see the joke.
Next time you have a bad day at work. . . think of this guy.
Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana. He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs. Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to The X, 103.2 FM in Ft Wayne IN, who was sponsoring a worst job experience contest. Needless to say, she won.
Hi Sue, Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I had a bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately at work, so I thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it's not so bad after all.
Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job. As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to the office. It's a wetsuit. This time of year the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: we have a diesel powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea, heats it to a delightful temperature, then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which is taped to the air hose. Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several times with no complaints. What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wetsuit. This floods my whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi.
Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to itch. So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse. Within a few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony, I realized what had happened. The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit. Now since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn't stick to it. However, the crack of my butt was not as fortunate. When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into my butt. I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with 5 other divers, were all laughing hysterically.
Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make 3 agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling 35 minutes before I could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression. When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet. As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my butt as soon as I got in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poop for 2 days because my rectum was swollen shut.
So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt.
Now repeat to yourself, I love my job, I love my job, I love my job

Oops
I think I kind of royally pissed off the boyfriend yesterday. He called me from work, he was sort of having a bad day. Then we got into this discussion about school. See, he is not is school right now, and he is thinking about exactly what he wants to do about that. He is seriously considering going to Heald College. Then I went ahead and put in my two cents about this whole issue. I personally feel that Heald is the biggest rip-off on the face of the planet. It costs 20k for a 2 year program, and all you end up with is an AA. Let’s face facts here an AA is kinda worthless. I was trying to explain to him that he could go to Sac State, get an actual honest to God Bachelors degree, and it would cost him half as much. Yup you heard me right, half as much. But he refused to believe me, which frankly kinda pissed me off cause I go to Sac State, that is where I am getting my masters degree, I think I know how much it costs to go there.
See and it really comes down to the fact that I don’t think he wants to spend 4 years in college. But it’s SO worth it later on in life, right? I mean your only in school for 4 years, your working for the rest of your life. And if for some reason all you want is an AA cause your impatient, you can do that at a junior college for like a billionth of the cost of Heald.
Anyway, it’s his life right? I mean ultimately he can do whatever he wants….

Brain Farts and Epiphanies
Over the weekend I went to pay my car registration because it was due. But as I went to where I thought I had my renewal notice, it was not there. This was a problem. I started to freak out. If it wasn’t in that spot where was it? I looked around, gone! Clearly, I had been cleaning and thrown it away. This is an issue, as I am sure you can imagine. This means I have no choice but to actually go to the DMV and wait in line till the end of time to pay.
This morning I drove to the DMV, I was going to brave the crowd. I walk in, and there is a billion people there. No seriously, a billion people. Not sure how the bent the laws of physics to pull that off, but they did!
But wait, here comes the epiphany part. While I was driving to the DMV I all of a sudden remembered where my renewal notice was. I, like the brilliant person I am put it in a place where I would not accidentally throw it away, while simultaneously ensuring there was no way in hell I would remember I put it there because it was not one of my usual storage places for important bills. I have yet to verify that I am right cause I need to go home first, but I remember putting it there.
The trick now is to not forget this knowledge in-between now and when I get home tonight.

What a pain in the ASS
I just finished deicing my fridge. That is not a fun job, not fun at all. Clearly I don’t have a whole day to wait for ALL the ice to melt, so it needs a little bit of help. I finally found that pouring hot water on the ice was the best method. I know that sounds obvious, but I tried that method last because it is REALLY messy water running everywhere and all.
And why oh why do I have such an old school ghetto fridge in my apt that it has to be deiced? I don’t even have a freezer. I have an icebox but it’s way too small to actually be useful unless you want to freeze maybe one small chicken breast.
So the moral of this story kiddies: Scott needs to move before he has to deice the fridge again.

The level of stupidity of some people…..
Stupid people never cease to amaze/disgust me. My buddy Marck brought this article from the NY Times to my attention. It talks about a really messed up movement among the Christian Fascists to make people think that condoms are useless and don’t work. It angers me to see that so many people out there are blind to the devastation of H.I.V and refuse the acknowledge the true enormity of the problem. Seriously who are these people and how do they manage to get so much influence? And according to this article, our fearless leader Bush is jumping on the bandwagon too. Schools in Texas don’t even mention the use of condoms except to tell students they don’t work. They even have radio ads spewing false scientific evidence about how condoms are flawed and do not work. When are people going to learn that telling people to use condoms and even distributing them does not encourage sex? People are going to have sex anyway, trust me. Read the article I promise you will be pissed off.
* yes you have to register for the NY Times but it's free

Where did my face go!
I just came back from the dentist. I had three cavities filled. I can’t feel my face. This sucks! I like feeling my face, lets me know it’s still there! Let’s just hope it wears off fast and doesn’t last all day cause that would suck monkey.
So anyway, yummy built Russian boy was working the counter at the office today. Not too bad.

Stuff learned on the way to work
On my drive to work there is this huge strip club right on the freeway, Centerfolds. Well they have this huge sign on the side of their building to let you know what is happening. And apparently there is naked pillow fighting tonight at 9:30. If I were a str8 man I would be all over that. Thank God I am not.

Ugh
Well I just came back from the dentist. Mind you I have not been to the dentist since like 1995, so clearly I was expecting to have some cavities. Hoping not to, but lets be reasonable here. I have three cavities. The best part about this is that I don’t have dental insurance and I am losing my job in 3 weeks. Words cannot express how happy I am to be paying this bill.

Stating the obvious
There is this guy at work. He bought one of them new H2’s. Seriously, no engineer needs an H2. That sucker will NEVER see an inch of dirt road. It will only go the 2 miles between his house and the office. But it will consume twice as much gas in the processes as me driving 30 miles to work. We don’t know who this guy is, but we all comment on how much of an idiot this guy must be for buying this car. Could there be a more wasteful car to own? Or could any other car scream I have a small penis as loudly?
But the best part is that today when we got back from lunch I parked directly across from this behemoth of a vehicle, he finally got his license plates, and what did they say (yes of course they are vanity plates) IMSHALO. Dude your preaching to the choir here, we all knew that the instant we saw the car, even though we have never met you.

Happy New Year
Happy New Year everyone! Here’s to a kick ass 2003!
I had lots of fun last night. The BF and I were originally going to just stay at home last night (I am still sick and didn’t really wanna leave), but then the boy got restless so we went out. We went to the festivities in Old Town Sacramento. They had bands, blah blah, and a huge fireworks show. I had a good time. Glad I ended up going out.
I posted a new album of my pics from New Years, enjoy!
Marck also posted pictures on his website.

I'm back
Hello kiddies. How was everyone’s holiday season? Mine was OK, I got me the flu right before Christmas. I was kinda the walking dead on Christmas Eve, but no little virus can keep Scott down! I still had a good Christmas.
My parents got me a cool new leather jacket, so that is really neat. That is really the only gift of any significance that I got. It’s funny cause I wanted a leather jacket and I was getting ready to buy one, then poof, my parents get me one. Freaky.
Now I sit here at home. Today was actually my first day back at work after having last week off, but not only am I still sick, but now I gots me an ear infection that is kicking my ass. So I went to the doctor in the morning, then I just left work and went home. Hopefully tomorrow I will feel better. I feel like a loser taking sick time right after my vacation. What can I say, I just don’t like taking sick leave, I feel bad when I am not at work when I should be.
I did manage to be a little productive today though. I had to return my cable equipment. It’s lame that when you cancel cable service you have to return the equipment yourself. I went to the customer service center, its worse than standing in line at the DMV. But I made it. Then I proceeded to the grocery store (which I have not done in forever). Now I actually have some food at home. I still have yet to do my laundry so I lack cloths, but really, do I need to wear cloths to work?
Anyway, it’s almost new years and the BF is coming tomorrow to celebrate with me! Yippee, I haven’t seen him in a little while and I miss him.

A visit to see little Emma
On Friday I went to Santa Cruz to visit my friends Matt and Amber, and also see their little baby Emma. That little girl is SO cute it hurts. And aside from being a little fussy (which babies just plain are some times) she was a completely well behaved little kid. I added a photo album of my visit, go check it out.

Houston we have a problem
Today is the Christmas party where we have a white elephant gift exchange. The problem is that I have been so busy with finals and stuff, that I totally didn’t have time to get any white elephant gift. So now I am at work, that party is at 3, and I lack gift. Clearly I have to go shopping during my lunch hour I guess. But I have no idea what to get, nor do I have the ability to wrap anything. Hmmm…..this is an issue.

Automatics are for losers!
So I was reading CNN.com and I come across this article. It talks about how manual transmission are a thing of the past, and that with today’s new high-tech automatic transmissions there is no reason for a manual. True, I will agree with them on this point, things like gas mileage, power and responsiveness are no longer an issue. But really when it comes down to it, there is only one reason why people like me want a manual transmission, shear driving experience. I enjoy shifting gears, I enjoy being at one with my car. Luckily there are still some car companies that get this (for instance any German car company). I searched high and low to find a car with a V6 and a stick shift when I was car shopping, and BMW and VW were really the only companies that did this. Now I have a Jetta, and let me tell you, it rocks!

Yee Haw I am DONE!
It’s over, it’s finally over. I just had my last final. I was really freaking out about this final cause it covers so much material. But when she handed out the test and I looked at it, I almost felt violated by how easy it was. It was four questions, I even did the first one completely wrong, and when I was done, I did the first problem all over again. I turned in the test 30 minutes early. I am done!!!!!
Now is the time to just kick back. I rented a movie and I am gonna curl up on the couch and watch it. Ah, my brain can finally rest. Noticed this blank look on my face? This is the blank stare of someone that just finished his finals. It’s past business hours please come back later cause Scott has left for the day...

One down, one to go
My first final is over! It was actually kinda fun (NOT!). It was scary cause I finished early. I finished really early, and that scares me. Cause this means one of two things: 1) I aced it 2) I really messed something up hardcore.
But no point in dwelling on it cause good or bad its over, so yippee. One more final on thursday and then the party begins!

Done, brain full
I have done enough studying for this final. It’s true. There is no more knowledge to learn, now I just sit back and chill, let my brain rest so that it is at 100% efficiency for my final. Right now I am kick’n it at the “fireside lodge” here in the student union. It’s just this big room with a fireplace in the middle and big carpeted steps around it where you can sprawl out and what not.
The guy below me was laying taking a little nap on his back, he put his hands behind his head and that lifted up his shirt just enough for me to see his happy trail, yum (my boyfriend is so going to kill me one of these days for writing all this crap).
The union has cleared out a bit. The lunch crowd is gone now, so there are more places to hang out. But I like it where i am, I am gonna chill here and surf the web and blog till it’s time for my final.

Ah the joy, the fun, the nightmarish hell!
I took the afternoon off work today so I could come to school and study before my final. You know just to get that last bit of studying in so I could feel better about myself or something. Anyway, people watching on campus is SO much fun during finals week.
For instance, I was eating my lunch today in the union, next to me was this couple they were studying. But the guy didn’t seem like he was studying at all, he was more like quizzing here. But it was odd. He had this look on his face, and he was totally staring her down. It’s like he was the quiz master and she was the poor victim.
Also in the union was this group of people in front of me. One of the boys. DAMN! That is all I have to say about that.
Currently I am on the third floor of the union, I managed to get me a desk, and since this building is wired with wireless internet, I can blog! People are a little more low key here, but there was this one couple that ran out of here all flustered when I first came in. Oh yeah, I think they had one to many party nights this semester! hee hee
Me on the other hand, I am just chilling. Yeah I am stressed, but really I have done so well in both my classes that the worst I could do to myself is get a B. Don’t get me wrong I want straight A’s, I’m just saying. No need to stress, its not like my life is on the line. The only thing mildly stressful is that I was accepted to grad school on probation so I have to maintain a certain average for my first 12 units. Basically what that means is I HAVE to get at least B’s in my classes this semester or I get kicked out. But no pressure :-) Next semester I will no longer be on probation and I can get crappie grades, hee hee.
OK enough bloggin, wasting time and all. Time to get back to studying again. I have to write up a sheet of notes for my final (which I will write from memory, really why bother huh, but it’s things we do to feel better about ourselves).

The greatness of monday
Yee Haw. Today was a super fun day. Hee hee. OK so today was a monday, really what else is there to say? I went to work, I worked, I came home. Tomorrow I have my first final. I hate finals, I really hate finals. Me and tests don’t really go well together. For this final, I don’t need to study, which in a way almost makes it worse. If you don’t actually study it almost feels like you are really missing something when really you should just be all happy that you know everything good enough to not have to bother studying!
Tomorrow is a half day for me. I get to leave work at noon, go straight to school and lock myself in the library to study. Most likely I will actually end up in the Union cause they have wireless internet :-) Then at 5:15 I get to take my super fun happy final!
Let’s all just hope that all goes well.

My new ibook!!!!
Hey looky, its my new ibook! I had me a little retail therapy yesterday and I officially entered the world of Mac users. This laptop is SO cool. I must say so far I am very impressed with it. It’s small, sleak, really cool looking, and the best part is that the OS is way better than than windows.

Who sent me that package?
You know who you are. You’re the one that thought it would be fun to UPS me a package and have it sent to my apartment. And the best part is, it requires a signature. Well guess what, I am not home during the day cause there is this thing called work. There is no apartment manager so it can’t be left with them. Basically put, the poor USP guy is going to try and repeatedly deliver this package until it eventually gets returned to sender, unless I stay home from work just to sign for this stupid package. Oh well I hope it wasn’t anything important…I know I haven’t ordered anything so someone sent this to me. Ugh.

Yippy, soon to be AT&T free
My DSL line is set to be active on the 13th, my DirectTV is being installed on the 14th. Soon I wont have AT&T Broadband anymore! I can say goodbye to poor reception on my TV. I can say goodbye to my cable modem dropping all the time. And most importantly, my money wont be going to the evil empire that is now AT&T/Comcast.

I got my classes!!!!!!
You probably think I am crazy that I am making such a big deal about this, but at my school getting classes is impossible. They don’t offer enough so everyone is desperately trying to get the classes they do offer.
Today I had my registration time at 1pm and I was all freaking out that I needed to register at exactly at 1pm or I was gonna be screwed. So I registered at exactly 1pm and I got both my classes! It was stressful there for a moment, but in the end I was victorious!

To ibook or not to ibook...
I want an ibook, its just that simple. I have a laptop already that work gives me, and it’s a nice one, but I have totally started using it as my personal computer for school and general life stuff. I really shouldn’t be doing that. So now I am contemplating buying an ibook for school and just to use as my home computer and stuff.
What do you guys think? To ibook or not to ibook, that is the question.

Some damn good news and a little retail therapy
I don’t talk about work much here, but lately I have been stressing a lot cause my job was going to be ending Feb 3rd, and basically with the economy totally hosed, I was rather screwed when it came to finding a new job. But yesterday my bosses brought me in for a little chat, they manage to work some serious HR magic, and now I am going to be here till about June 2004. The best part is that since I am an intern, I don’t count as headcount so even if there were layoffs, it doesn’t affect me. My job is secure till June 2004. YIPPY!
I got this good news right before my buddies and I went to lunch. I decided it was time for some retail therapy to celebrate the good news. I had been eyeing this digital camera for some time now, but I was refusing to buy it till my job situation was sorted out and I knew I would actually have income in the future. I totally bought my digital camera yesterday!
In all, life is very good right now.

It’s Christmas time
Well the admins have lined the rows of cubicles with festive holiday flare. This means it’s Christmas time. I think its kind of neat, it’s my first Christmas at this company. Everyone else says it gets annoying after a while and they put up the same decorations every year. Of course since my company simply refuses to convert me from intern to full time I am sure I will never get to the point where I see the same decorations again (oops that was supposed to be my inner monologue, my bad).

All dressed up and no where to go
My evil partner and me were supposed to give a presentation yesterday, on that research paper I bitched so much about a while back. It never ceases to amaze me what an idiot this guy is! Anyway, there was some serious FUBAR action with the scheduling so we didn’t even get to present yesterday. Which is no big deal to me actually, who cares, so we present later. But we were supposed to dress up and be all professional like. So I dressed up, which means I had to be dressed up all day at work, so I could then drive to school, be dressed up for all my classes till this class. I don’t like dressing up, I am a programmer, I go to work in jeans and a t-shirt. Now I have to dress up again on Thursday. Oh well.

World AIDS Day - December 1, 2002
December 1st is World AIDS Day. But we shouldn’t think about AIDS just today. It’s a problem, and we must think about it every day. We must do our part, and take a stand. We have to do all we can to help the fight against AIDS. Be smart, be safe, wear a condom. As long as people are careless and think it doesn’t effect them, this problem will never go away.
Remember, it starts with you!
If you think you can’t help, there are plenty of ways you can help, and make a statement. One particular way of helping (which I encourage) is The AIDS Life Cycle. Dare to do something bold in the fight against AIDS.

Friday?
OMG! Today could not be more of a Friday even if it were actually Friday. You know what I mean. I know I am not the only one sitting here at work on a day before a four day weekend totally not wanting to be here. I suggested to my buddy we cut out of here and go to South Lake Tahoe and hit the casinos, but I don’t think he is game.
I don’t really know why I am looking forward to this weekend, I have so much homework to do, it’s not going to be a fun weekend. Oh well, such is life!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there! Don’t eat too much, and try not to get drunk on wine at the dinner table and make a spectacle of yourself. :-)

I am such a programmer geek
I had a homework assignment that I did last night. It was to design a program that would solve a math problem. I had five points of data and I needed to find the derivative at a certain value of x. OK so no big deal right? Well depending on how many data points this totally changes your equation. I had five data points so I could have hard coded my program for the equation for five data points. But being the programmer geek I am, I just hate bad code so I needed to make my code work for any amount of data points.
Several hours later of making my brain melt, I come up with this beautifully simple algorithm, and takes like 10 lines of code. I rock so hard core. Had I just taken the simple way out I would have been done hours earlier.
How do you know when you officially become a programmer deep down to the core? That is how. When you know this piece of code will never be used for anything other than this one instance, but you still take several hours to make this special algorithm that will never really be used.

I finally did it
I have been contemplating buying a new mattress for some time now. Mainly because every single morning I wake up in excruciating pain, and it’s kind of starting to affect my sanity. I don’t know about you but I don’t like back pain, I don’t like pain in general. My main issue was that a good mattress costs a lot of money. I wasn’t going to bother buying another cheap mattress cause I would end up with the same problem. I had basically decided I wanted a Sealy Posturepedic mattress, cause they are supposed to rock and be really good for your back. But these mattresses are expensive.
Yesterday after waking up in pain, and being in pain all day I decided to head on over to Sleep Train, just to look. I wasn’t going to buy, just look. But I laid down on my new Sealy mattress and it felt SO GOOD on my back. Then I learned I could qualify for 0% financing for 12 months. Clearly this was a win win situation. So I did it. No more waking up in pain for Scott! The only problem is the earliest they could deliver it was Saturday, so I don’t have it yet, but soon, very very soon. For now I will just keep popping pain killers (hee hee).

GWM bowling
I had to share this little tidbit. My group at work today had our 15th annual Turkey Bowl, where we rent out a bowling alley, and bowl! There were a bunch of us bowling, and I look at the lane next to me, up at the score board. I took a look at the name on the screen and I had to think a bit. I turn to my buddy Paul and say "OK seriously, did you see what that guy’s name is?" He looks and we both laugh. The screen says GWM. The best part is that this guy is completely str8, he is even wearing a wedding band. His initials must be GWM. Only a str8 engineer could have no clue what he was doing when he put GWM in big letters on a score board at a bowling alley. Ah, life rocks.

Homework Hell - Part 5
It's about 3:30 AM. My partner finally got me his 1 page. I read it. It was totally worthless to me. I was not going to put that in my research paper! So I rewrote it. OMG, I am so tired and so angry right now. Must remain calm.
I proof read it one last time, and now I am printing it. That is it. Don't care how many mistakes are in it anymore. It's over, done, never to be though of again.

Homework Hell – Part 4
It’s currently 2:05 AM.
My EVIL partner is trying to write 1 page of crap. Just one page. He has been trying to write this for several hours now. Mind you I could have written the entire paper 12 times over already, but I am gonna make that bastard write this one god damn page no matter how late I have to stay up in order to receive it!
Yes I am cranky, I am cranky cause last night I hardly got any sleep thanks to my partners inability to do any real work. I am cranky because I have to wake up for work in 4 hours. I am cranky cause I know this paper needs to be proof read more, buts it’s 2 AM and let me tell you something, I can’t do the proof reading thing at 2 AM. I can hardly grasp the English language when it’s the middle of the day and I am fully rested!
This whole situation is actually kind of funny when you think about it. I mean I would be laughing if it weren’t 2 AM and it wasn’t happening to me at this exact moment. Hee hee

Homework Hell – Part 3
Now I am truly pissed. Being slow, and messing up my schedule is one thing. But when you finally deliver me your work so I can include it in our report, it had damn well better be your own work. This is grad school, plagiarism is NOT OK. Last night I skimmed this one section. Didn’t read it, just skimmed it. I knew instantly he did not write it. No way in hell, I didn’t even have to read it. All I had to do is notice the word "exciting" being used more than once. This is an engineering technical document. No engineer even knows how to use the word exciting in a document, much less use it multiple times!
So this morning I actually read the section in question. OH YEAH, this was a pure cut and past job from some marketing collateral somewhere. See this guy is not from here, so his English is not exactly perfect. I know the rest of the work he gave me is his, because the grammar is horrific, and half the things did not make any sense until I edited them. But this, this was perfect. No grammar mistakes, no spelling mistakes. It was engaging, easy to read. In short it was marketing collateral.
I am SO pissed. This is so unacceptable! I will get an F in the class for plagiarism if I turn this crap in. It’s due tomorrow. So now what? I will have to rewrite it. It’s that simple. I have done almost all the work on the paper, but what can I do, I want a good grade, so I have pick of the slack for loser partner.
People Suck! (no, not you my readers, just those that make my life more hellish than necessary)

Homework Hell – Part II
Well my partner finally sent me his work on the research paper. It’s a couple days late, but OK I will survive. I open it up. The first thing that runs through my mind - Oh God please kill me. My wonderful little partner does not seem to realize that you can set Word to double space your text. Instead he just hits return at the end of EVERY SINGLE LINE. Now I have to manually go and remove ALL these carriage returns. Oh and the best part is he did not indent his text, so I really have no good way of knowing where a new paragraph starts.
Why me?

In homework hell
Remember that research paper I spaced on? Well I was determined to get the rough draft of it done on Saturday. So my partner and I were supposed to get together at school and work on it. First of all he showed up SUPER late. UGH, he does not supply me with the level of efficiency I demand. Saturday sucked monkey for me. I woke up, worked on research paper, and I went to bed. That is about it. By the time my partner and I left school, I had pumped out a solid 8 pages for our paper, and he had written 1.5 pages. He said he was going to finish his stuff that night and email it to me. I was supposed to have this email buy Sunday morning, before I woke up, and before he went to work. I have still yet to get this email, it’s Monday afternoon!
This is why I hate working with partners on school projects. You just can’t count on them to work the way you want. All these students who have never been out in the real work, they know nothing about pain, and real deadlines. Not to mention he does not work full time like I do. I have a schedule, I can’t just do it the day before cause the day before I will be working all day!!!!
Anyway I don’t want to vent too much, I am just pissed. And now I will not get any sleep tonight cause I have to write this paper. My partner better get me my stuff today, before I leave work.

Now is the time to panic
You know that panicky feeling you get when all of a sudden you realize Holy crap I have way more work than I could possibly get done. That is the feeling I had in class yesterday when I found out my research paper is due next week, not two weeks from now. I haven’t even started this paper yet, or done any research. This sucks monkey. So now this totally ruins my weekend because now I have to devote every waking minute to getting the paper done. At least it’s only a 15 page paper, how hard could it be?

Yee Haw, midterm fun!
Truly, is there anything better on this earth than taking a midterm? Opening up that test and knowing, just knowing there is no way in hell you could ever possibly finish all the questions in the time allotted. Then proceeding to quickly decide which questions your going to sacrifice for the greater good.
That was my test yesterday. The questions themselves were actually very easy. The problem was that the test was simply too long. No ordinary human could have finished it. And if anyone in the class actually did finish it, they did several things massively wrong.
I managed to only not due one question. When I had about 2 minutes left I quickly moved onto that question, wrote some stuff down, but didn’t actually do any of the design or diagrams that I should have. (This is a computer system architecture class, there is no such thing as a small question when they ask you to design something.)
Anyway we can only hope that the rest of the class didn’t plow through as much of the test as I did. GO ME!

Waiting for disaster
As those that read my site know, it rained here in Sacramento for the first time this winter. And as it was raining I noticed I have a leak in my apartment. Oh, not just any leak, I have a potentially bad leak. Not bad in the se
