Sad News

Unfortunate News:


I just thought I'd mention that I don't think I'll have time to post any blogs for a long time. With two jobs, I'm lucky to use the extra time to sleep, spend time with Erin, and do laundry. :lol:


It was fun, folks! Thanks for reading!

 
A few pointers...

Daily Update (of sorts):


Just wanted to show off my two new animated GIFs on the left-side of my blog. One's a funny humping stormtrooper I found that makes me laugh, and the other is an animated cloudy night scene I made tonight. I thought it was pretty and cool-looking, so I'm showin it off.


JASON WON THE KAREOKE COMPETITION! YAY! Erin came in second, and I cam in third! GO US!

 
...Weekly Update...
09.16.04 (6:21 pm)   [edit]

Daily—er—Weekly Happenings:


Well, I haven't posted a blog in a while cause I've been sick. Turns out the doctor said I had an intestinal virus. What I didn't know is that after an intestinal virus, one is actually lactose intollerant. I was eating cereal every morning and shells 'n' cheese and whatnot. Needless to say, I was cramping VERY badly and I had gas and yadda-yadda-yadda. It wasn't fun. Missed work and everything.


Well, hurricane Ivan passed us by on the east. We didn't get rain or anything over here. We got a little wind before it reached land, but—whatever—guess I'm eating beenie weenie with bottled water for a while. :lol:


I haven't seen Erin a lot this week, and it sucks. I miss her so much. I won't be seeing her a lot anymore from now on because...


...I started working at Papa John's at night! I started training tonight. I helped make a ton of pizzas tonight. My fingers smell like pizza toppings. Blah, better get used to it. Hell, Erin better get used to it. Like she knows, I'm doing all this for us later. I'm getting rid of my debt and/or trying to not get student loans.


Well, 'night, people!

 
...Aaaaaahhhhh...
09.10.04 (9:35 pm)   [edit]

Daily Happenings:


Well, work sucked as usual. My cow-workers treat me like I'm an idiot, and I'm sick and tired of it. Fuck them.


Met Erin at my house after work, and I was greeted with a quick make-out session which leaded to... well... :wink: :wink:


We then went to eat Albasha (Greek & Lebanese) which I'm still burping up. After that we met her parents and aunt and uncle at CC's Coffe for a quick Mochassippi. Mmm...


We then went back to my place, and well... :wink: :wink: ...Erin just left. :lol:


I'm pooped! Going to bed!

 
...I feel better today...
09.09.04 (6:59 pm)   [edit]

Daily Happenings:


Well, went to work as usual, but decided to take my car to the dealership early and beat a lot of the traffic. I was proud of myself. I busted my ass and got ALL my work in by 1:00!! Erin met me at me house. We ate, I was changing into comfy clothes, and then she laid on me with her butt in my face. :twisted: Shortly after were in my bed... and... well... :wink: :wink:


Then we drove to the dealership, and I dropped off my car. Erin had to go back to work for a while, so she dropped me off so I could start my laundry (and watch some Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Ring). Turns out, mom wanted me to go to Targét (:lol:, Erin) and pick up a few more things, so I did.


Got back home, Erin came by and ate her dinner while I folded my whites, and we started to watch Resident Evil on the SciFi channel. Well, I was waiting on my permanent press, so I couldn't lay down and fall asleep. Didn't stop Erin though. She's so cute when she sleeps. Awww...


Around 10:00-10:15, I made her get up and go home so she could go to sleep in her own bed and not be awakened. She left to go home (:( wish she could stay and sleep with me), I then finished my laundry, and now I'm here posting this blog before bed.


BED TIME!

 
 
09.08.04 (4:59 pm)   [edit]

Daily Happenings:


Well, work was... the same as usual...


Called Sugarland Motors and made a deal to put my SUV on their lot under consignment for free. Erin and I are going to bring it tomrrow after work. Hopefully it'll sell before next month and my $400 insurance note!


Erin ate lunch with me at her favorite place in the world. You guessed it: TACO BELL! We had to eat in a hurry though. By the time I paid my car notes and got to Taco Bell, there was a ton of people there, and it took a while to eat. On the way back to the office, Erin was following me, and we found out my car actually goes 5 mph faster than the spedometer says. Interesting, no?


Mom and I went shopping at Sam's Warehouse for some supplies in case hurricane Ivan which is supposed to come our way. If you ask me, it looks like it's gonna curve around and smack Florida. That would be their third one this season. What the heck did they do in Florida to upset God? :lol:


I'm going to go to bed early tonight. I've been tired at work a lot. I think I'm still trying to fight this head cold. Oh, well. I was hoping to talk to Erin tonight on Yahoo! before bed.


I LOVE YOU, ERIN!    SLEEP WELL, SWEETHEART!

 
It get's worse!
09.07.04 (6:27 pm)   [edit]

Daily Happenings:


Well, went back to work today. :roll: ...yippee... :roll:


Erin sent me an awesome e-mail about how much she loves me, and I love it. Not going to share it with you, because I consider it personal, so :P!


Then I got the news that ruined my day... Called the insurance to get my mother's insurance to stop being directly withdrawn from my account. She told me that I would have $166 taken this month and then my regular monthly payment would start. "And what's that?" I asked. It is about $400!!!!!!! :shock: How the fuck am I gonna do this?! I'm so freakin' scared right now...


...So I went to Papa John's and applied for a night job as a driver. I'll find out in a few days (after she clarifies the driver information) whether I got the job or not. I'm not worried though. Hopefully, I'll make enough money, if not...


...Mom had the idea that I could drop cable and internet which is what I pay instead of paying on electricity. I said, "Yeah, but I'd still have to pay for half the electricity." She said that I wouldn't, but that I would have to drop both cable and internet. :shock: So, I'm waiting to see how the job goes before doing something so drastic. :lol:


My nasal drip is back and giving me a frickin' sore throat. Back to the Advil Cold & Sinus I go!


G'night, everyone!

 
Finally! An update!
09.06.04 (7:23 pm)   [edit]

Daily Happenings:


Yeah, I know, it's been a few days since an update. I added a banner I made (and one for Erin's), but tBlog stretches it, and there's nothing I can do about it. :x I also added an animated pic of me, and the two ladies of my life. :)


Well, I think I'm finally better now. Yay! Sat with Lily on Sunday and didn't sing in the choir. Then went to Erin's house after dinner and let her lay in me arms and take a nap while her mom and I watched TV.


Today, I went to work at 10:00 even though my body woke me up at 7:20! I opened my e-mail and had a message from my boss saying that since it was a reoccuring illness (i.e. she knew that I was sick), I was getting paid for today. I stayed and did a little bit of work. About 1 hour and 20 minutes worth. Then Erin gave me a call...


...She asked if I could help them help her brother move from his apartment to his new house. I said sure of course, and it's a good thing. He has a bad back, her mom has a bad back right now, and her dad isn't known to have a great back either. That left, Erin, Lily, two of Erin's sisters, and two of Nesbit-Girl's Boyfriends (myself included). I think I helped out a lot and took a good deal of the workload from the bad-backed people.


Erin started to feel bad and had to lay down. Bet she wishes she'd stayed at home, specially since she ended up not really doing much. Poor Erin.


After that we went to eat at Italian Pie, and I ordered a calzone. I ordered a ham and Canadian bacon version (funny, I thought Canadian bacon and ham were the same thing). It got out and the marinara I got with it was lumpy and reddish-brown. I put it all on top and took quite a few bites when I started smelling the smell of cigarettes. No one was smoking, so I started to smell the bread and whatnot. Nothing. So I tasted the sauce, and sure enough, it tasted exactly like the aftertaste you get when smoking. My two Godsparents (i.e. Erin's parents) agreed, so we complained, got a new one that I brought home, and got $5 off the bill. LOL


Talked with Jason over IMs and cam tonight. We fixed his cameleon-skin problem over his cam. We were having fun messing with our camera settings. The color setting it particularly funny. I went from gay-pink to alien-green. It was funny.... well.... made Jason laugh. :lol:

 
GEAUX TIGERS!
09.04.04 (7:44 pm)   [edit]

Daily Happenings:


Well, taking medicine for something you actually have problems with must work. I felt a lot better when I woke up today. THANKS ERIN FOR POINTING OUT MY "DUH"-NESS, AND THANKS MOM FOR BRINING IT TO ME!


I found out from mom on Friday that the office is now enforcing a rule from our handbook: if you're out of work (un-scheduled) the day before or after a holiday, you will not be payed for the holiday. That means that I get to go into work on Labor Day (a holiday) and work to make up the missed time! :roll: :x


Well, Louisiana State University Tigers (2004 National Champions!) had their first game today. With massive amounts of luck we won in overtime. GEAUX TIGERS!  o0o... this is also a good time for me to show off the first-ever tiger fur I did on Photoshop. Pretty damn spiffy, eh? Looks real, huh! 8)








Lord of the Rings Update:


Due to the fact that I realized no one besides me gives a shit about this and that you probably all don't even read this. I'm not doing it anymore. Awwwww...... yeah right. It takes to long to type it out for nothing anyway.












 
...Due to crude language, the following blog has been rated PG-13...
09.03.04 (10:40 am)   [edit]

Daily Happenings:


Well, I stayed home today because my sinuses were driving me nuts and I feel like shit. It's that time I guess. I usualy get a bad sinus infection around this time. Hmm... maybe it's the love bugs... HAHA


Well, I didn't do much except take Benadryl ALLERGY, sleep, and force myself to do laundry. Anytime I got up, I felt dizzy. I brought all three Matrix movies downstairs, and I was going to watch them all while I did laundry. Of course, I missed about ¾ of the first one from dozing in and out. One second, Neo's visiting the Oracle... the next second, he jumping into Smith at the end. LOL


The way I'm feeling now... unless I wake up feeling refreshed and well, I sure as hell won't be going to work tomorrow either. I don't get sick often, but when I do, it's frickin' bad! Mom says I'm not getting enough sleep, but there isn't much I can do about that, now is there? If I can't sleep, I can't sleep.






Lord of the Rings Update:


    & nbsp;Haldar brought the fellowship to Lothlórien. There they met Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel. Lord Celeborn asked where Gandalf was, because he wanted to speak with him. Aragorn told the tale ending with the shadow and flame that brought the wizard down. Legolas voiced that it was indeed a balrog of Morgoth. This news troubled Celeborn, for danger was not far from his lands.


    & nbsp;Lady Galadriel used her power to search the minds of each companion, asking if they had a choice, would they go home. All the hobbits were asked the same question. Boromir said she did the same to him, but he did not say what she offered. Frodo refused to voice what he was asked. A few days later, Lady Galadriel asked Sam and Frodo to look into the mirror of Galadiel, which showed the past, present, and that which may happen. Sam saw the destruction of the Shire, and that was enough for him. Frodo saw a man that he thought was Galdalf until he realized he was dressed in white and had a white staff. The man in the image walked away from him. He also saw a city with a river through it, a white city with seven towers, and lastly, a great, flame-wreathed eye that he could feel searching for him.


    & nbsp;He offered Gladriel the One Ring since he knew she was powerful. She said that she would use it for good, but she would not stop there. In place of a dark Lord, there would be a Queen, great and powerful. In the end, she refused, and passed the test that she had been waiting for since the ancient times. She would now be able to return to the western lands over the sea back to her home. She then said it was time they departed. They left to meet the rest of the fellowship.






Well, that's pretty much all that happened today... Sorry it wasn't more entertaining.











 
...zzzZZZ (-_-) ZZZzzz...
09.01.04 (8:20 pm)   [edit]

Daily Happenings:


Well, today was a ve-e-e-e-r-r-r-r-r-y-y-y- y-y slow day. I think I stared at my computer screen at work more than I actually did anything. Just one of those days. I think the lack of sleep catches up with me, and it sucks.


I came home mentally exhausted. Erin gave me the bad news about her other eye that we were assuming about. That was crappy news. I feel bad for her, but there's nothing I can do to make her feel better, and that is what makes me mad. :evil:







Lord of the Rings Update:


This is a new section I'm going to do. I am currently reading the Lord of the Rings book, and I am going to say what has happened in my reading each day. If you have the book, feel free to read along (yeah, right!).


    & nbsp; Since this is my first post concerning this, I'll summarize. The One Ring is discovered in the Shire in the possession of a Hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. If the Dark Lord Sauron were to get this ring back, he would regain all his power and cover all of Middle-Earth in shadow and evil. A wizard has taken to the task of getting this ring away from the Shire and into safe hands. Bilbo gives the ring to his nephew, Frodo, and then departs for the elves safe-haven called Rivendell. Gandalf sends Frodo and three Hobbit companions to Rivendell to bring the ring to a council led by the noble-elf Elrond who is the master of Rivendell.

    & nbsp; Elves, men, hobbits, dwarves, and a wizard all meet and discuss the impending doom of Middle-Earth. The task is set to destroy the ring by the only means known: to throw it into the volcano from which it was formed -- Mount Doom. A party of nine set out to do this task: one wizard, two men, one elf, one dwarf, and four hobbits. They try to cross the mountains, but the snow and wind drive them down. They are forced to take a route under the mountains through the mines of Moria, an old dwarvish city where
mithril was mined. There, they discovered that the dwarves had mined to deep and awakened an ancielt evil. A Balrog of Morgoth, the evil Valar (or God). Galdalf told the company to flee, and he defended the bridge of Khazad-dûm against the Balrog and the orcs. He destroyed the bridge causing the balrog to fall into the depths of the earth, but not before the balrog used its whip to bring him down to. With the words, "Fly, you fools," he fell into the abyss.

    & nbsp;The company was dismayed, but ventured forth under the leadership of Aragorn, the rightful heir to the thrown of the greatest nation of men. He led them to Lothlórien, another safe haven of the Elves. They are met on the outskirts of the forests of Lórien by an elf named Haldar. He says he would take them to the Lord and Lady of Lothlórien, but only if the dwarf was blindfolded. (The  elves and dwarves didn't get along in the ancient times) Gimli, the dwarf, made a fuss of course, so Aragorn said they would all be blindfolded to make it fair. Haldar leads them on...


Thus ends the update of all I've red so far. Whew!







Funny Story of the Day:


During one of my dozing periods at work, I had the first daydream that I can ever remember happening... I think. I was thinking about Erin and I getting married, next thing I know, we're having an engagement part, and this old man who I don't know is telling me what a great guy I am, and how I'll make a good husband and father. I said in my dream (and mouthed in real life) "Thank you, sir." That's when I realized what I did, and I said to myself, "I frickin daydreamed that! HAHAHA!!!"











 
 
08.31.04 (9:48 pm)   [edit]

This blog will be short, because I'm tired... sorry...






Daily Happenings:


The month-end balanced on the first shot! I didn't have to go back and fix anything! GO ME! My boss even said I did a good job and THANKED me when I was leaving. :shock:


I watched Lily during chour practice for Erin tonight. She was the cantor this weekend, so I thought she should go instead of me. What did I make us for dinner? Can you guess? THAT'S RIGHT! MAC 'N CHEESE! :lol: Erin's family has a billion boxes from a warehouse store (Sam's if you've ever heard of it), so I just used it up. Turns out thought that they had no butter. :?  I just used a little vegetable oil, and it worked just fine.


After Erin got back, we went shopping for a few things Lily needed for school tomorrow (i.e. bread, meat, snacks, lunchbox, etc.). And I just had the urge for white powdered donuts, so I got a bag for breakfast tomorrow. Yummy!


I didn't want to leave. I just wanted to sleep with Erin (in a non-sexual way... well... ... ... yeah... :lol:). I can't friggin wait until we're married, and we don't have to leave eachother at the end of the day. I can't wait to wake up next to her and give her a big wet morning-breath kiss!











 
Church, Car Troubles, Work, etc...
08.30.04 (9:20 pm)   [edit]

Daily Happenings:


My song went well... or so people tell me. I was too nervous to really pay attention. Nannaine (aka my godmother, aka Erin's mom) said you could hear a pin drop. I told her that all I could hear was my heart pounding. :lol:


Called the D.M.V. today to check on which car my personalized plate was attached to. Turns out it's been attached to the new used car I purchased. I've been driving the wrong car (which wasn't registered) for about a month and a half now. Thank God I didn't get in a wreck or get pulled over. :?


Along the same note, I also called my car insurance company to add the new car (a '96 Chrysler Sirrus) to my account. It's a 1996 SIRRUS! It's gotta be cheap compared to a 2000 EXPLORER, right?!  WRONG!  It's only $20 cheaper at the 6 month rate of $869! WTF?!  She said the "symbol" was one point higher than the Explorer. Turns out the "symbol" is a number based on multiple variables (i.e. age, cost of repairs, statistics of claims, etc.) Bah! I thought'd I save more money... guess not.


Well, I stayed an extra hour and a half late at work to get all of our Medicare money in before tomorrow. I can't stay late tomorrow (which is the actual month-end) because of choir practice, so I did it all today. I worked my butt off and got a whopping $44,272,18 in!  w00t!  Go me!







Erin Update:


Didn't get to see Erin at all today, and didn't really talk to her much. She did wake me up however... LOL  But it's okay, because I got to post this Blog since the site's been down all day. I LOVE YOU, ERIN!  *kiss*











 
Another Day; Another Dollar
08.29.04 (7:32 pm)   [edit]

Daily Happenings:


I sang You Raise Me Up at church today. Even though I was nervous, everyone said I sounded great, so that's good. It's always a good sign when people are crying. HAHA!


After lunch, I went to Erin's house and we sat on the love seat and watched The 6th Man. It has quite a few funny parts. I enjoyed sitting there with her and just doing nothing. It's great!


Unfortunately, I then had to go work for a lady named Elisa. I transcribe a song she's written into printed form with a music program. She pays me twenty dollars an hour "...not because [she's] wealthy, but because [I'm] worth it." So, after three-and-a-half long hours of editing crap over and over and over, I walked away with seventy dollars! YEAH! Now I can pay some overdue bills! :D


Tomorrow is the day before end-of-the-month. That means I get to work my ass off to get all the money entered into the system before the end of the month. It's no fun. Especially since I can't listen to the music I'd like to listen to. I can no longer use internet radio because "it uses too much bandwidth". YEAH RIGHT, HOOCHIE-MAMA!


Okay, enouogh venting for tonight. I need to go to bed. I'm tired. Had a long day and a long night.







Thoughts For The Day:


1. Pilsbury Cinamon Rolls with cream cheese icing are SO not as good as the recular icing. Blech!


2. Nachos Tejanos = indigestion for the rest of the day. :D


3. Erin is too damn sexy! It's a shame to think naughty thoughts in church! :twisted:











 
Copycat? ...maybe...
08.28.04 (10:28 pm)   [edit]

WELCOME TO MY NEW BLOG!


Well, this is my first post in my blog. I've joined the ranks of the Blogers now. I'll be honest, I started one after I saw my girlfriend Erin's blog. It was cool.







Daily Happenings:


Erin got her new glasses. She looks all sexy and sophisticated now. Ooo-la-la! I watched Lily today for Erin, and I made us fish sticks and macaroni and cheese for lunch. Yummy! (Yes, I can cook!) I then went to Erin's house and watched Office Space and ate Cane's for dinner. Yummy again!







News Update:


1. Well, Erin and I got into one of our rare fights today. I was picking with her about her eye drops, and I didn't know how sensitive she was about it, so she said goodbye and went to her room. I got on Yahoo! Messenger when I got home and apologized. I think she was okay with me by the time I got off... or course it could've been the three games of pool she beat me in too. :wink: :D


2. I've decided to fade away from most of the message boards I am on. Mainly J.net (http://www.jedi.net" title="http://www.jedi.net" target="_blank"http://www.jedi.net) where I've been for well over four years. I've just lost my interest.


3. I'm closing the board I started on my own server called SCI-FIantasy because no one ever goes anymore or posts, so it's going bye-bye.


4. I am going to sing Josh Groban's You Raise Me Up at church tomorrow. I'm slightly nervous even though I've sung that song several times in Yahoo! Chat karaoke rooms. I hope I don't screw up. *fingers crossed*







My New Favorite Quote:
