uhmmm the eighties...are over people
Well it seems the eighties decade has reared it's over styled ratted head once again in the mainstream of america...all i can say is ew. I troll craigslist maybe once or twice a week because you never know...pretty much all my furniture with the exception of the bedroom is a la craigslist, granted the really nice stuff came from San diego craigslist...those people throw away good stuff. But here in the middle of Texas people are ludicrously thinking their old crappy 80's rounded wood furniture (with glass inserts no less!) are still valued at what they paid in the 80's for them.....uhm people? herringbone wood patterns and smoked glass are the spawn of the invention of laser cut computer driven furniture producing...in it's infancy...hence the large blocky ickyness that resulted and no amount of brass inlays will change that. *shudder* seriously this stuff should be burned and returned to hell from whence it came.
I think this is my neighbor...
I think I was haunted by Phil from Heck all this week. Everyday was more frantic and ickier than the next leading up to the penultimate day of today which was the worst of all. There is a silver lining in all of this as I get to see one of my favorite comics of all time live....yes...here! Paula Poundstone....I'm bringing my camera..hopefully, I can get a pic of her. I defintely need to laugh after being this tired and overworked. I still have a long work weekend ahead of me. After that I have to start working on my own project. I don't think I'll be taking on much more outside work for awhile. I am getting quite burnt out. Otherwise, I seriously need to rethink what I'm doing back here. I feel ver overwhelmed with no one to really discuss or vent to without it coming back to bite me in the butt. Even when you're away from work you have to look over your shoulder to make sure who's listening...Everyone's either related or friends with everyone else. I still like it better than a huge city though. I never felt so lonely before. I always had school before and there everyone was going through the same crap so it was easy to make friends. I never really engaged a whole lot socially for social purposes there was always a goal to be met when I got involoved in other people's lives. I guess that's why people work to. but you don't get to pick who you work with per say now do you? *sigh* I like what I'm doing, I just wish there wasn't so much of it
Happy Cinco de Mayo people. I'm finishing up a long web project in these here next few weeks and I'm now waiting for the programmers to work their magic. Again, I'm starting to lurk through blogs...I've convinced myself that if I don't comment then I'm not addicted. Really, I can quit any time I want. Anyhoo....I've discovered some sites written by guys. Amazing. For awhile there I was thinking blogs were a girl thing to vent, but no apparently guys will talk as long as it involves a complex coding initiative to start a blog. and they think we're weird. I saw this post and thought it was pretty funny. Amazing how age can dictate what you should and shouldn't do. I especially like the guys point of view of things. 
)...now these are most likely family names, but seriously why perpetuate bad taste and call it tradition?
Peep research - good or bad?
I did something last night that I haven't done since I was a kid. I watched "It's the Easter Beagle Charlie Brown". I used to count down the days as a kid for every holiday waiting for the official Snoopy and Charlie Brown Special to come on. Snoopy is what got me into drawing as a kid. then garfield which rocks as a strip but sucks as a movie unfortunately. and finally Bloom County. I miss you Charles Schultz. Happy Easter everyone, I hope you find lots of eggs.
Now I guess I'm a bit bitter....not against religion itself but to me this is sort of a discriminatory thing in that it blatantly tells people of faiths that they can't be an aggie dogwalker. they have to go out and start their own dog walker group for whatever deity they choose. So way to open up those arms of acceptance people. you're main interest is dog walking....don't make people feel they have to be a chrisitan to do it. and hey you may learn something about other people rather than just inviting clones of yourself to a group. now it's become this screwed up fascination of mine, thanks to really icky events in my life that dealt with religion, to somewhat find the hypocracy in people when they're overly zealous about their religion. actually people who are overly zealous about anything to the point of perkiness makes me want to slap them as it's just demented. seriously, i get very argumentative. and it's not that i'm against religion either. it's that i'm against ANYONE trying to convince me that they're better than me because their religious. (religious meaning they attend church maybe once a week and they have a sticker on their car (in this case... aggie "insert religion" for christ) not they actually y'know PRACTICE what they're taught in church in their own lives. because as I see it your religion is a spiritual guidance of how you live your life. not how many times you walk a dog for christ. This does NOT excuse you from sleeping with your friend's ex-boyfriend whom you KNEW your friend was still in love with. (for example ;) and does that even entitle you to the label of friend?) Nor does it give you license to be a jerk (neglect, ignore, snub) to people you decide are not religious enough for you....I think of that movie "Saved" it was so perfect...in that the outcasts were the only ones being real humans and the perky over religious skanks who were perceived as good were really the bad people. I think that movie was protested by those same people. which i think is funny. I do know good people who are religious and they give me hope for church and someday I may actually go. I may have to skip my aggie underwater basket weavers for christ meeting though...;)
