I do everything I possibly can in my best interest to keep my spirits up regardless of the events which have occured over the past several years of my life. I can't help but feel at every turn I continue to get shot down and wake to the same nightmare every day.

It's not that bad, I guess... but if it's not good then what's the point?

I'm sure everyone has said or come to a point in their life when they sit down and say to themselves that Ok, I really don't care anymore. However, it's not just about not caring. It's about everything in life as a whole. Is Trivial the word I'm looking for in regards to the meaning of Life?

eh

whatever

There's that number again... the 25th.
My old ass ;-) will be turning 25 soon and it's pretty depressing. Not that I'm still alive (although sometimes I wonder) but the fact that I am indeed getting older quicker.

Just last night I taught my 3 1/2 year old daughter how to search flickr. Yes, the photo site.
She looked up Dogs, Cats and Spongebob Squarepants (all spelling assisted by myself) but she navigated the sites by herself.

Call me amazed. She's picked up internet surfing quicker than my mum could turn the damn computer on.
It was rather late in the morning and I decided to lay down.... literally falling in-out of sleep.
She continued on onward and learned that all she needed to do was scroll up/down, click to enlarge ones she liked, go back with the back button and click NEXT to see more pictures.

Giggling away... saying Awww... (I took some video footage and will upload it to youtube sometime in the near future) it's cute. That's about the only thing I can feel good accomplishing, teaching my kiddo to surf the intraweb at the early age of 3 ;).

I can't wait to tell her grandma that she's surfing the net already. I'm sure over the period of the next 4-6 months I'll have her alphabet down to a tee and spelling words so she can surf better but for a beginner she's doing GREAT! (Not just a beginner, but a 3 year old).

She'll definately be getting spoiled in the future (quite a few years down the line) with a nice appley computer and printer for all her school-work-web-surfing-needs in her own little room.
For the first time in a long time she has been really good yesterday, listening and keeping calm. I'm not sure what it is.... but I hope she stays like that, haha.

I'll update with video in the future.

I created not 1, but 2, yep! 2 fun things!

I've yet the space to upload them but I can't fucking wait. I've spent roughly 18 hours on this experimental website I've made and more time than I'd like to admit on some printed matter.

However, Until I can get everything uploaded and ready I'll keep my mouth shut. I'm just friggin happy (content) with what I've done regarding the website and look forward to it's launch.....

I'm on vacation.... and have been shit-grinning enjoying myself (finally, for a change).
My job is making me crazy.... and angry. It has more to do with disrespect, location change and the assholes who work there than the job itself, really. Whoever said "It's not the people, it's what you make of it." or what the fuck ever along those lines were retarded, obviously. People change everything. While I work with some cool people, the asshole ratio is outstanding.

Anyways.... I picked up Table Tennis and was having a blast with that game. Got a lot of 360 time in last night also, playing GRAW and more Tennis.

Hopefully I'll find a cozy job somewhere here shortly that will pay better (cough, give raises) and just treat people better. I've never felt so "SOLD" in my life. I hate the feeling. I used to love it for the hours and the days off I had but that doesn't matter after the lack of raises and much disrespect within the company itself. I'd like to stay in the computer industry (because it fits me I think) but could think of better things that I probably wouldn't have a chance at.

Hopefully I can accomplish something with my life soon both job-wise and relationship-wise to get my head out of the "Go ahead, pull the trigger... " gutter.

Ahhh... Pantera.... =)
(and Table Tennis)

Haha, how fucking awesome is that ? ;)
(No thanks to Tim for the hook-up!)

Neon360's 360 Blog
Can you say, "Teh Awesome!?" I knew you could.

Also, I got Table Tennis from Rockstar Games today at Fry's Electroncs... Fucking Awesome! then again, I like the Virtua Tennis style gameplay with more skills (required) game play to be had. (starts out easy but gets hard fast!) Yet to play it online but offline it's been a blast so far!

Xbox 360 Table Tennis

Also, finished up work on that Neon manual from the Xbox 360. Not to be confused as if I re-wrote what Jeff Minter had made... just beefed it up for a 'real' manual... added some pretty backgrounds/graphics and made it more "manually" is all... with of course the colorful twist. What do you think so far?

Ok, well games call among other things, ta ta! :)

So there's not much to look forward to on this lovely day of ev1l is there?

I am anxiously awaiting the announced xbox dashboard update which should hit Live! sometime in the next few hours! *yay!*

That, and maybe I'll get to see the Omen remix.

My buddy got a Nikon D50 DSLR, (the wealthy fucker) so we've been playing with that a lot.
Yay... oh, did I mention my new job location sucks balls? God, I want to quit.

I've had quite some spare time to myself lately (not sure if I can consider that a good thing or a bad thing) but I tend to reminisce a tad bit much and it can be saddening sometimes.

I finished up the eBay packages to get sent off... burned off a few odd Pink Floyd tunes for my drive to the office and back since it's like 3 in the morning and all dark... figured it'd be nice. And, it was.

Dead, dark and quiet streets... cool breeze with the windows down.... floyd blaring out of my car. Almost made me want to just drop everything and run to a forest somewhere.... jump in a log cabin, start up a fire.... and just relax. That will not be happening anytime soon however.

It then got me thinking about my uncle who had passed away a few years ago. He's one of the people that I could turn to and 'get' me. I could talk to him about the crazy stuff such as visualizers, virtual reality, pink floyd, concerts... and he'd be right there on par with me, the whole way. He wasn't really a tech head as far as VR goes or computers go... but I guess his more 'hippie'-like ways and solid background of experiences made him an extremely pleasant person to hang around with. Plenty of stories to be shared.... it's a damn shame he's no longer around... I'd love to hang out with him again. His passing seemed to be a huge turning point in my life and made me look at things differently.

Even though I see things differently, I still don't act accordingly... and I guess I'm an asshole for that. Hopefully I'll change for the better... but at least I'm not worse, heh.

"The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder"

There's been a 2-bedroom house over by where my aunt lives that I'd love to get. I'm sure with my shitty credit situation however it's going to keep me away, but I guess I should try anyways. It's the sort of surroundings which make me feel calm... and peaceful. It doesn't help that I grew up in the neighborhood for about 4 years of my life there and those being very high-points for me. I miss it all..... but I can still remember how happy I was back then.

Wow, I've been away for a hot minute. (a month actually).
I've been destracted I guess.... with reality. Weird how that works ;-)

Spent some time ebaying a lot of stuff.... reflecting on my life and where I want to go with my future. Kinda stressed out because my job is crumbling... (moving to a new location) and I'm unsure exactly where I'm going to be stuck due to lack of a fallback plan on my part.

I'd like to land an assistant manager job possibly (I've got great people skills... I fucking do! WHAT? YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME?! LISTEN HERE!) ;-) ok, enough of that.... but yea. so in limbo with the job madness.

I'm such a lazy lazy bastard and feel guilty for not finishing my project up which is damn near 95% complete anyways. Only a few more hours and it could be complete and off of my "to do for fun list".

Anyways.... I shall run away in high hopes of finding something to eat. I'm dying of starvation at this point.

So my little friend ;) pointed out that Alice n Chains will be doing some club tours this year... in May to be exact.... and one on the 21st (Sunday I Think) in Chicago, IL.... but with a new singer (durr).
I had no idea it was the lead singer that had died... I'm not sure wtf I was thinking but I obviously got my details screwed up somehow thinking it was the "other" guy.... not that it really matters I guess.. it's trageic either way.

Googled him ... then it led me to Wikipedia... so yea... crazy!

William DuVall is the new lead singer... I wonder how that works out. It's not going to be the same... but at least I can support the band members who put out some jammin' tunes over the past humpteen years which have gotten me through some times! (Jar of Flies, Facelift anyone!?)

Amazing band... I even bought their DVD video thiny a few years back... which was ok.

----

Things appear to be smoothed over with that chic I pissed off at work.. as she decided to talk to me for like an hour and a half at work yesterday... so I guess that ground is smooth for what ever good. At least I don't feel so bad about it now... and I think she got over it or whatever....

----

I keep swinging back and forth from positive to negative and back to positive again... maybe I have some sort of emotional disorder. I can be fine one minute, think about shit.. feel like shit... and then be absolutely fine then next. No, it's not bipolar... eh. (crosses fingers) ;)

anyways...

I have this feeling I can't shake. The feeling of wanting a nice pair of gloves and a solid wooden baseball bat. Ya know, so I can go out and SLUG a couple of mother fuckers.

Anger management at it's best.... I've seem to hit a point of highented angry today.... this week... this month... this year. My heart is hurting a lot... as in... I'm getting sharp pains... and no way to release my anger so it's backfiring on me. No, I'm not psychotic... people just tend to piss me off easily ;)

I did finally get that stupid website done for the photo place but I've yet to finish the most important (to me anyways) project... and it's Neon related of course. Speaking of, I got that breakbeat CD and it's amazing! Sounds better in my car only because I can blare it but that's alright.

Breakbeat Science Exercise 003

Why, only the best $1.76 I've EVER spent in my life... now someone should buy me the other 4 and I'd be happy! ;) (ok clint, I'll do it!) haha....

I've been going downtown a LOT lately... about 4 times over the past 2 weeks (yes, quite an increase since I rarely ever go downtown... ) Sam Goody was going out of business so thats why I got such a great deal on the CDs... my buddy wanted a Romeo & Juliet CD Soundtrack but he says I'm the one who has a mangina? Ha, wtf ever dude.... ;)

Look what a $1.58 from Sam Goody got us!:

Fucking amazing.... and some 360 mags in there too, usually priced at $15 or more... awesome! I should have picked them ALL up for like $30 but eh....

Screwing around at my buddies place with a camera... isn't it pretty;)

Ok... I have no baseball bat or gloves... looks like I'm stuck like chuck... I'm going to go blare the shit out of Breabeat Science on Neon for a few and try to relax and relax and relax.... until I can find someone else to stress me out ;) hahaha....

So Saturday turned into a complete disaster. I was supposed to come home, go to sleep, wake up early in the evening and relax for a while before picking up my daughter around 8 or 9pm. Instead, I stay up.... go to Enzos with Alonzo (hey, it's going good so far, right?) and then my ex-wife calls, stating she has to go in early (it's 12:30) and I have to pick up Alexis at 3:30. Great... so I'm going to get no sleep. If I go to sleep, I'll not wake up (I'm sure) to pick up Alexis. She then rants on about that gas shit I didn't want to talk about as not to stress anymore and then brings up another depressing/stressful situation. Apparently we're also being sued for $800 by the home owners association. Wtf... yearly dues overdue, they can eat my ass anyways... (they barely picked up the trash... ). So anyways, now I'm stressing about pulling $800 out of my ass before the 16th of May... or we're fucked. (Pretty much). I'm so sick and tired of dealing with my ex to begin with and instead of talking sensible she's insane about the shit. (which makes more reason as to why she's my ex, eh...)

Anywho, onto some good/better stuff:
So, the tragic Saturday came and went.... but I woke up early Sunday morning (as Alexis was nice enough to sleep and allow me to sleep since I was so tired all night Sat....) We got up around 7, I cleaned up the frontroom 100% and then we did some exercises while listening to music. (Much needed, I need to quit being so fucking lazy, really simple.)

After that I knew that I wanted to go out and get some Lumpia made. Decided to make it more of a 'family' thing and spoke with my mum and aunt to see if we could all eat together... well, my mum made it and we made it over my aunts anyways (even though she ended leaving to play Bingo!)

Here, I had selected my Xbox 360 themed attire for the day ;)
Xboxish Clothing...

Oh, we picked up POCKY! (screams) Yes, POCKY!! the bestest candy in the world stixx!!11! ;)
So anyways, feast your eyes on the pics below to see what madness I speak of!:
Front Pocky
OMG, Yes, Pocky! I've been craving this madness for a hot minute!
My daughter had pointed out some other candy also that I decided to give a try, Elsie, kinda cool:
Elise Candy
So anyways, onto making some Lumpia... here's the wrappers:
50 Lumpia Wrappers
And then to make the meat filling with diced onions, hamburger, soy sauce, garlic, scrambled eggs:
Lumpia Meat
The meat had a near-perfect flavor (imo!) and was the tastiest! ;)
Next had to prepare the dipping sauce (juice) for the Lumpia... Vinegar and Hot Peppers:
Vinegar & Peppers
Yes, it stirs nicely, ;)
A side is needed, I wanted to get some spiced rice of some sort but ran across this which I haven't had in ages... a Garlic Pasta of some sort... very tasty!:
Garlic Pasta
And here the meal is, in it's complete form:
meal1
3 Lumpia, 3 Beef Summer Suasauges on crackers w/cheese, Garlic Pasta, Pocky! and Elise candy with Vinegar on the side and of course, my Coke-a-Cola! Made for a fantastic meal and I'll probably be having more today since so many were made!
Meal Completed
Haha, here's my daughter Alexis... as if she's really drooling/dying to get her hands on that Lumpia ;)
Alexis drooling...
and then she attacks the Pocky instead! (go figure, the kid has good taste ;) )
Alexis enjoying Pocky...
So that was that. Very good and tasty meal.... came home and was so exhausted we both crashed out (Alexis and I).

Xbox 360 - Japan on the DL (Down Low)
I had spoken to my buddy about getting a Japanese Gamer account so we could view/download all the Japan-only goodies. Not sure if it would work, we decided to give it a try. I still had a month free included with my Xbox 360 so I figured, wtf... it can't hurt to try:
Japan on the DL
It didn't work... but I thought it was funny.. (Alonzo was entering the information at this point):
Japan on the DL 360
And here it is... Japan on the DL (Down Low or Down Load, whatever ;) ) completed:
Japan on the DL 360
Well, looky there at the foreign looking text. Is that, Japanese? ;) haha

(mind you, we downloaded everything we could, which explains my lacking hard drive space on the 360 as of now!, argh!, they really should have included the 'original' stated 40GB HD's with the 360s)
1GB Free
Having at it:

I promised though at one point there were 34 items available to download including that Japanese Ever Party game Demo but... after I downloaded a video instead, I went back... and it was only 31 items available...and no Every Party Demo anymore :( (I'm guessing they were toying with things on XBL and I had a momentary chance to pick it up but didn't know any better... shame!)

Anyways, that's that.... been rather busy I guess you can say ;)

So apparently I'm nice to people, or so I'd like to think I am or can be.
I tend to let people get away with 'almost' murder and yet I remain a friend (yet sometimes I ask myself why). I guess I've been cutting back on that a little as of late... although the people whom are genuine and really deserve 'friendly' treatment actually get it. (ie. I'll pay for dinner, meals, games, etc.) that sort of thing for example.

I got a call today that I was being sued by the Gas company. I was like, O RLY~!? I mean, I know I left the gas on at my other residence but didn't have the gas inside turned on at all leaving no room for a bill other than a monthly connected chrage I guess. I let my mum and her boyfriend stay there in December though and she was to take care of the bills. I even asked her about it and she said the gas was not on disconnect or anything when they got there and they paid the bills.

Gas company is saying someone broke into the gas box and turned the gas "back on" illegally. Um... ok.. but who? It's been empty / locked up (the house) for about 3 months and it was checked on from time to time so I dont' buy it. I think when they disconnected the gas (or was supposed to?) the guy who was doing it didn't know wtf he was doing. I didn't even know it was that easy to go around the side of your house and flip a 'locked' switch. Who knows if it was her boyfriend that did it and they didn't really pay the bill or what? eh. I say bullshit to that... and I shrug it off. (Afterall, I've been trying to find ways NOT to be stressed out.) Usually this sort of thing stresses me out... like bad.... while I was kinda surprised to hear about it, it didn't get to me. Thankfully. I see it as nothing other than a hassle now... I guess with all the bad shit that has been taking place in my life over the past 2 years, this is literally nothing. (ie. midst of divorce, loosing house, relocating to dunky ass apartment, end of several relationships, fucked up credit due to inability to pay my cards, and much more. ;) )

So that's that.... I'm still able to smile today and keep my head up. (however odd that is). Or, at least I think I'm doing a good job of it considering the shit news.

This weekend should prove to be a'bit relaxing. Hopefully I can get a night to myself (no one at all) to completely regain myself (As it seems to have been working lately) that way I don't spiral out of hate control and rampage with curse words at everything I do. This week has been very positive in the right direction for me. I even had orange juice twice today! (haha)

I just want to sit down in front of the TV.... tune Neon into some Rush and relax to a little more upbeatish music. Play some arcade games on live!... play some demos... and just... relax.
Perhaps Monday I'll file my taxes as the deadline is approaching and I'm sure I'm going to "owe" on that as well. (which may actually cause some real stress as it seems money is an issue for me as of late).

Yay for dark nights alone and the Xbox 360.... =)
(oh wait, I was supposed to call and ask a certain someone over wasn't I? eh, we'll see if I call...)

So after an evening with hanging out with a few buddies I decided to try and finish up 'that' project I've been working on for what's been a little over a week or so coming. Hours and hours a day though, I'm picky as shit when it comes to the graphic design of things. It's nice to feel that much closer to having something completed each and every time I work on it though, I'm so close!

I was working on some finishing touches and such only to have Photoshop fucking completely exit out on me without saving my latest work. Eh, it was only an hour or so into it... not much lost I guess. I think it's more of a hint at "What I was doing was sucking anyways, so try a new approach next time..."
I guess I was overshooting the colors in all honesty anyways... so it's probably best it happened that way.
Soooo close.

At least I did a back-up of all my files though in case of the unthinkable happens while editing them (PSD files) or whatnot. This will be the first little project I will have completed in quite some time... and it'll be nice to finally get something completed that I really love in more ways than one!

I'll probably not have a chance to work on it until this weekend however due to my work schedule over the next 3 days.... but at least I know I'm close and probably only have another 3-4 hours to really put into it... proof it all and upload it to the "people who do their thing" :)

If at least 5 people in the world like it, the completed project, then great! If it becomes something useful and interesting for 100 or more... then it'll certainly be time well spent. (I love to dabble in this sort of thing anyways.... )

Ok, so I downloaded this weeks (eh) 1up show and seen that Brain Age game.... man, Nintendo is really doing shit right these days! I mean, the games look like a blast... and the ones I've played are pretty fun!
I get the occasional "Oh man, why do you want a DS" from some *cough*'hardcore' gamer buddy... but it's fun, that's why!

I'm going to wait until the DS Lite comes to the U.S. to get one... but you better believe I want one!
Nintendo DS Lite
I think the DS Lite alongside with my 360 would be the perfect combination of systems to give me the broad range of diversity in games that I need to be satisfied. Did I mention a new Mario game for the DS also? Shiiiii'iiiit... that's gonna rock!

I guess I should actually spend more time *PLAYING* my 360 instead of *twirling* inside of Neon and listening to music. Eh, It's so relaxing.

I think I may be moving again soon also. If I get a job out of state, maybe further.... but regardless, it's a possibility. Only time will tell, I need to get my shit in gear though! Here's to the Sun brightening the days lately.... Indy weather has been shit lately.... I can't wait until this late spring/summer! I think I'll try to spend much time downtown after work with either (myself) or buddies. (what few are left of mine in the area ;) ). So if your in indy and wanna drink some coffee or some shit at Star Smucks this summer, hit me a line....

Bullshit! I beg to differ actually! I mean.... look at what is in my wallet, eh, was.... heh :
Pizza Cards
Yum Yum! ;) (I'm going to go get some Enzos soon actually so I can feel up that last space!)

Went downtown with my buddy Alonzo last night.... took tons of pictures, ate at the Red Eye Cafe.... played some 360... fun stuff:
Broken Light
Brokent light downtown... poor poor light ;)
Incar Shot
There is I.... taking a crappy shot out of my car at like 4 in the morning....
Red Running Lights
Red lights taken in the Red Eye Cafe.... nice...
Lorenzo Ordering....
And my buddy Alonzo looking at the menu.

He got some cheese fries and I got just a mini sampler.... $15 bucks after tipage and taxage... not bad for a mini meal for 2 people I suppose ;). We had fun though, taking tons of pictures.... driving all over hell downtown.

Ok, it's time to eat...

My buddy took this shot and uploaded it to his flickr account of Metropolis....
Is it me... or is that Neon lights and the number 360 printed on the building? ;)

Anyways, thought that looked pretty cool! :)

Was on my way home after having some Pizza (Carlton's) at my Gma's place while visiting the mum.
Stormed like MAD outside.... luckily I had my Tempest 2000 soundtrack with me... to listen to the Funky Jazzy Jazz song.... but, the mild storm turned out MUCH worse.... so this music is not appropriate for tornado-like weather. Lights off everywhere.... van slid into a ditch... bad bad weather!

The lights in the sky! Oh my... dark, rich and deep blue colors of blue with a hint of red afterwards.... lightning every 2-3 seconds.... shit! What's going on? Too bad I didn't have my camera at the time.... (go figure!). I usually never get paranoid during storms but when you see ALL the lights out, the sky lighting up like it's the 4th of July and Vans sliding into the ditch, you have to start to wonder ;) Oh, lets not forget the fact that 3 radio stations went out for several minutes as well! At least the High School station was still on... pumping out some loud techno... so I blarred it... pumped it up full blast and drove home like I was in a lightshow of bass! :) haha... ... gotta get my kicks in I guess ;)

Wanted to play some 360... but I'm sorta hesitant to do anything during the storm. I'll wait a few hours until it passes.... I've got free time now... but I'm tired as hell... and probably will end up sleeping.
Daylight savings had me all fucked up also.... yay... first time for me.. in Indy... blah!

Yep, it's nap-nap time....

So I got my Chinese last night for lunch. It was 'ok' for the most part. Got me Hot & Spicy Chicken Fried Rice, 4 Beef Sticks and 6 Crab Rangoons. Yep, Yum... the beef sticks needed something though... (shrugs)

Today is my last day of work until next week.... as in, Weds. I get 3 little days to recoup and try to get some stuff done that's long overdue (ie. finish cleaning my dunky apartment, give the car a bath inside and out, and finish up the little Neon-related project that I've spent a good 18 hours on yet currently have no money to actually get it 'completely done' until sometime around the 15th).

Hadn't hit the laundromat up lately (mums place, sisters place, aunts place, whatever) so I figured it a good excuse to go out and buy some new clothes. Woke up extremely early (on my own) and decided that 'then' was the best time to go and do it. Clothing is shit these days, hit up 3 places and the last place I still couldn't find a shirt I liked. About to walk out I seen 'Clearance' and found exactly the style of shirts I like! Nice... $2 for this one (really nice, usually $25 shirts) and some $8 sweatery like shirt, comfy. Sad, my one pair of jeans took out both rather nice shirts.

Went home, dabbled with Neon for a minute.... paid 'some' of my 'extremely' neglected light bill. Apparently I don't pay attention to the light bill because when I got it today and opened it up it was like "April Fools! It's $351!" But, it was no joke. I really owe that shit! Arrggh! I need to quit eating! Eating as in... my chinese took $11 from me, and that's just ONE MEAL! I used to leave my Mac on all the time but after seeing that light bill, things are to change, believe this!

Speaking of eating disorders, I need to get my ass in shape. My puge is starting to become ever so more apparent and eating Pizza 4 times a week obviously isn't helping. I need to cut back on all that junky shit, start exercising again and get myself up to speed to look 'somewhat' decent if I want to proceed in getting a more 'professional' job.

Looks like lunch will be a bit creative tonight, Burger King! ;) haha... sucks... I'll try to eat light and under $5! ;) One more meal from Enzos and I get a free one, w00t and such! I burned me a little 'rappish/alt' mix before heading to work also... played it on non-other than Neon for a few... and then took it with me and headed here.... eh. I've been in a weird mood lately.

Heading to work today was somewhat relaxing. The weather has been rather nice the past few days (in the 70s) which is a nice change from the snow recently. Of course... it ends with hail.

It started raining on the way to work... to the point where I couldn't see anything and it was like your in one of those $20 car washes where it's about to blow your car into the next dimension. Then came the mini white bricks of hail. Nice.... yet soothing... with the windows cracked. It's ashame I didn't have the Tempest 2000 soundtrack ready.... the last track is super soothing and would have fit the moment very well.

Makes me wish I had an office job in Cali somewhere next to a window with a breeze coming in.... maybe someday though, right?

Buddy came over this morning and we played some Battlebugs 2: Modern Conflicts.... that demo is raw. I'm not sure why I was so quick to complain about the game, afterall it is kinda fun, but the first time it said it couldn't even locate a game on the server, making me wait until the next day before I could even play it. After that, the bugs hit me in the face. I can hide in a truck (walk through it), the eyepeiece/viewfinder ;) on the gun shows the blue cloudy sky REGARDLESS of if your in a building or not (crap!), and that god awful "FLAG NUMBER 4 HAS BEEN CAPTURED" voice... eh. Maybe I'll give it some more time this weekend... say, more than 20 minutes ;)

Did have some Enzo Pizza though, which always makes my day! One more stamp on my frequent card and it's all about the free meal! (Hoo Haa!) I'm at work, else I'd post pictures.... pictures always add life to this crap. :)

Yep.... now it's time to see whats for eat eats on lunch tonight....
Ta'ta' and a cup of Tea~

After seeing many of my not-so-local friends, Xbox Live! buddies, and many others that I don't really get a chance to talk to on here, I've finally up and decided to start a LJ account.

Now I will venture off and add some "friends" to get up and going. Hopefully I'll be able to offer some entertaing posts in the future ;)
