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?
