Wake me up Inside!

Seriously, I probably should get woken up. Half of the Days are either spent sleeping some 16 hours, then staying up all night the next day, or a random quantity of sleep in between some classes and work.

Well a lot has happened since the 16th of February. I visited my friend Laura in the Hospital who succumbed to minor symptoms of a "mini-stroke". That's pretty fuckin' scary at age 20 eh? That's not messing around kinda stuff right there. However, she (despite her opinion) looked absolutly wonderful even when in the most dire of situtaions at the hospital, and (I'm glad you're better Laura). Vivé la Carmel Folk

what else? I've been spending a lot of time coming to the realization that I can get so sick of playing video games sometimes that it kinda hurts me. I wish I had more time for music in the day and maybe some theatre stuff too eh?

ya know, I haven't made any pictures for this blog thanks to the fact that my Computer had a small problem with my webcam recently, and that'll be fixed in a day or two for some "high quality" pictures for the site for you to laugh at and/or heckle off the stage

Here's what I figure, I think it's time to win the lottery?? not to be set for life, cause I like to work with people, and being a hermit with 10 gazillion dollars would be sad, but like...100 grand, that'd be nice, just for some toys to play with! It isn't that I think I deserve the money, I just would to go on a shopping spree for awhile.

we all should get a break for awhile eh? I'd vote for that. That and a big ass tub of Ice Cream.

Alright here's the update of what's the dilly lately.

I've been having some really harsh nights of sleep. I just can't stay asleep and I keep having a bunch of really really crazy odd dreams. and one of my dreams involved me being all gothic. So I decided...hey! why not give my photoshop legs a little more stretching and see what I'd look like when I'm gothic? well, here's what I came up with (see right).

*shivers*. Dude, I'd look pretty damn lame like that eh? Yeah I think I'm gonna stick to not being gothic, that'd be grrreeeeaaaat. But needless to say, it'd be fun to dress up like that for a day. I guess that's the theatre side coming out ya know? playing a role for a little while and all. I think that playing a role might help you find out a little more about yourself (as abstract as that sounds) because you kinda see how certain parts of you shine through your character. I'd like to try that sometime (and if any people with real fashion sense would like to give some coaching tips, I'm all ears).

It's times like this I really miss working at good ole GameCrazy. Not because I enjoyed the pressure of selling "Value" cards to customers (see left), but because I loved the dorkishly committed community of gamers that used to come in. I had a legion of little kids who'd come in and think I was the bomb. They were so cool. I remember one time, I was scheduled to come in on a day where there was a gaming tournament. and I walked in about halfway through the tourny and all of a sudden like...14 kids were like "DAVE GUESS WHAT!?!? I did..." and it was really great to see all these kids so enthusiastic about SOMETHING, even if it was video games.

I also had them believing that I lived in the batcave (cause there is no way I was going to have my house raided by tons of a little kids while I was trying to enjoy my time off work). Those were definatly good times.

I guess that leaves on last thing to talk about today....and that's the evil evil entity known as Perl. and I think all my Computer Science friends can agree with this picture. This language is pretty ridiculous, all the little detail is so damn tedious I feel like it's beating me down when I look at the code. fuckin... m/.*?/d/*? crazy shit like that. This is gonna be a real test of mental focus on this kinda language, that or I'll just vent more about it as the year goes on.

welp...it's 5:00 time to head to UPS, Cardboard boxes are in my destiny





what can brown do for me? how about some vacation eh?

Ahh good ole Valentine's Day. Yeah, that one day where you're forced (whether you like it or not) to enjoy the company of your significant other. Then again, if you don't have a significant other, you're forced to dwell in your solitude, that or eat candy meant for someone else!

So let's see here's the deal for today: I looked up the history behind valentine's day, it isn't a Hallmark holiday at all. Actually (according to Roman Catholic roots) it is a day to commemorate a Priest who secretly held marriages when marriages were forbidden, who was held in prison and beheaded on February 14^th. he was also a half-ape with wings who had style as he sported a wizard's cap and and a mega-man arm blaster, not to mention the newest, hippest, pair of fly reeboks this side of the Appalachian mountains. It's kinda sad that saints have such a high metabolism, it just leaves them (or half of them) looking kinda...stickly? sucks for him.

I was reviewing some Valentine's Day type candies a bit earlier, and I came across a big staple of candies that we all know and "love". Those little candy hearts that say random romantic things like "Hi" and "URA QT" (so clever...). I think they're actually referred to as "Conversation Hearts" but I'm pretty sure that I can't make a conversation with:

Heart #1: "Dream Team"
Heart #2: "New Book"

Yeah that's just not going to cut it. I propose we make some variant of hearts...call them "I hate you hearts" or something like that, see visual aid. This isn't because I dislike Valentine's day, it's more of a complement to the already mentioned oh so effective "love" hearts.

This brings me to the next oddity of the day. I was walking in the Union after finding a rather dissapointing selection of Nothing or Sara Lee sandwitches, and to my surprise a VERY large portion of the seating section of the cafeteria was watching...get this...the ARM WRESTING CHAMPIONSHIPS!!! Great Gatsby Batman! I couldn't believe it, so many people transfixed on two men making their best imitation of something intimidating as they sit fondling each other's hand for a good grip. I chuckled and went on my way, without knowing the victor of this fine sporting event.

Nothing like big sweaty men in impossibly tight t-shirts to make me all mushy inside, be my valentine Hanz!

I'll leave you with a little clip of these masterpieces

btw, thanks alot Csilla for that "wonderful" message. You can officially put me on the list of people who think you're a bitch.

alright, lemme tell ya something, I'm all about the bargain prices at Giant Eagle. for example to your right you may (or if you have severe eyesight problems) or may not notice the terribly torn label for "Lucky Leaf" Apple Juice. The price is so low! I barely care about the label! actually, apple juice is pretty expensive in comparison to say...Pop (or Soda if you're one of those people). However, these apples came from LUCKY leafs, so they're obviously 3x10²³ better than Regular old Apples. thoes lucky fellas. Also, I 've found a significantly cheaper Grape Juice. I'm talkin at least $1.50 cheaper than Welch's delishious grape juice. Upon buying this Grape juice, I'd declared "Hell yeah!"

IT'S VALUE TIME FOR DAVE BITCHES!

Which is actually the truth! cause in fact, it was value time at about 4:50am last night when I raided the store for some Candy and some Juice. I'll tell ya what though, that candy has been coursing through my veins like a sugary death. I have been running around the house like mad today to try and get the energy out, since I can't really do anything else but practice Tae Kwan Do stuff for class(HPE class for school, not really intense, don't go thinking I'm Mr. KungFu now).

So I'm Mr. Kung Fu now, and I tell ya, it's a great title that all my fans have bestowed upon me. I'll wear the crown of lame with pride.

I guess the only other thing to say is that, now is the time where I have to start going back to MACS again for some delishious computer programming. have 2 midterms this week, and Part 2 of a big web page project due. That hurts man...it hurts.

Either way, have a good one!

I meant to do a real blog today (last night) but I ended up just relaxing and playing lots and lots of games while singing "Craig Christ" by Stephen Lynch.

I'll do a real one today

Ohhh-Wiiiiite! back to bloggin again. It's been a little while, but I finally got my rear in gear to keep writing this literary toilet paper with such awful awful jokes (have pity).

So here's the deal, I'm a guy right? (Rhetorical question....grrr) That usually means I don't really carry around a camera as much as I'd like to get those precious moments on film. However, I do have a few moments caught on film, and I'll give you a little tid bit. First off, here's my Halloween Costume from 2003 (on your left). Now we can see from astonishingly hip outfit I'm wearing, that I was the belle of the ball wherever I went. I tell ya, the ladies just can't resist the nerds! (if you believe that...well then you'd be wrong in my case). What isn't shown in the picture is the accessories that "Dave, the Omega Nerd" packs. DtON comes fully equiped with fully stocked pocket protector, supercharged suspendors, gargantuanly thick glasses, bad-ass bowtie, shit eating grin, poor grooming habits, and Karate chop action.

This outfit was just the inner me coming out eh? OH WAIT, I think it's just me right!? cause I'm a huge computer science nerd?!? Byte Me! har har! (how many exclamitories can I put in a row?)

Well I guess that comes to my next "Costume" although it wasn't worn on Halloween it may as well have been.
Cool man Dave comes equiped with a near full outfit from his much more stylish brother. Cool man Dave also comes equiped with poorly groomed goatee, partially untucked blue button down, shades at night time, and point-at-you-cause-I'm-a-poser stance. This product is for ages 18 and older. Basically, this outfit was worn in a particular instance of a New Years Eve/Day Dinner. It was a good dinner, and I think everyone enjoys dressing up a little. But it's just me trying to be some supa-suave chachi. Either way, it's an interesting spectacle.

So what's left really? Quick update of the weekend I guess? Friday was hanging out at the APT with Laura, Danielle, and their friend (Katey I believe it is). It was really good times, and great to see them again.

Next came saturday. It was a good day, mostly filled with going to visit Laura at Home Depot as I was doing my errands for the day, ya know..Best Buy, Cell Phone place. The good stuff in life. Either way, it ends up that I go see this movie "Alone in the Dark". Wow...I've seen some stupid movies in my day, but this was just waaaaay off the mark. It's taken from an Atari video games that was eventually ported to the Dreamcast. I think the director took his best actor "Plot" and beat him senseless to get the secret missle code or something, because the Plot was in fact, senseless. Also Christian Slater was the star...somewhere there's a voice telling me "You shoulda known right there that something was screwed up. After that debacle of a movie, I enjoyed bowling with a lot of good friends and great times were had by all (I think). Other than that, I think I'm gonna retire this blog entry so I can save some things for the future.

"Watch out for the medallion my diamonds are reckless, it feels like a midget is hanging from my necklace!"

Goodnight!

alright, I keep meaning to update lately, but I've had a stellar weekend, so I didn't have a chance to yet. but I'm working on some fun new images, so perhaps today?

New Update Later today, I promise
