Good news is that I will be heading home tomorrow and I will see my wonderful girlfriend Hsiu Hsiu!!!
Well, it?s Thursday afternoon. I just finish my big presentation for all the executives. It is really weird sitting around with a bunch of Senior Executives, but all in all I think I did alright. I was a bit nervous. I don't know why I would be... I have done the presentation bunches of times but it was still a bit intimidating. So what?s up next? Well, I have a dentist appointment coming up around 5pm? eek ? I hate dentists. Yep ? they are going to drill?. Eek eek?
I got abducted by aliens last night. They took me near a black hole and I had to prevent the evil aliens from destroying the universe. So you say? ?How can you prove that really happened?? Well? You're still here, aren?t you?
I have to say that Cacti for RRD tools is super AWESOME!!!! Well, if you are in any kind of network monitoring or resource monitoring ... this frontend for RRD tools is easy to use and very very cool looking. Check it out.
Just got back from lunch and check out of my old apartment. Well, one thing bad about my new place is that it is 3 blocks from the trolly. Man! 3 blocks!!! That's a long way in the rain.
Starcraft, Starcraft, and more Starcraft. Guess what the word of the weekend was? Yep, Starcraft. Well, my friend Rick left for Birmingham weeee early this morning. We had a good weekend. It was alot of fun. It was a wet Saturday, we hung out mainly at my place. Rick was trying to get over his hangover from Friday night. Auburn Won!!! Woo hooo... War Eagle!!! 31-7 Auburn. Yep... Kicked LSU's ASS!!!! Once again, my friends Scott and Wendy were the only ones that came over Saturday afternoon for my LAN party. Overall, it was a very wet and relaxed weekend. Well, today I got to turn in my keys to my old apartment. We'll see how much money I get back.... I think the place is clean.
Well, It is almost that time.... the weekend is coming. Well, this afternoon went pretty quick. I had a meeting with a vendor and man.... I was tired. I felt like I was back in one of my old college lectures. With the light turned down, it was really hard to keep my eyes open. But it will soon be over and well... a bunch of us are heading to the flying saucer soon... it should be fun.
So here is some geek humor ... enjoy!!
Why did the programmer think Halloween was Christmas?
Because OCT 31 = DEC 25.
There are 10 different kinds of people in this world --
those who understand binary and those who don't.
It's friday, It's friday. Well, I feel really stupid. I took out my rear-view mirror last night from backing out of my garage. The stupid garage is too small. Well, I guess I really can't blame anyone beside myself for being so careless. Anyone knows a good GM dealer so I can get that fixed in Houston?
During my cleaning last night, I have discovered a very cool mop. When putting it together, it felt like a weapon for a professional. Everything snaps neatly together. All I could say at the time was ..."COOL". And how does it clean? humm... pretty well actually. I think I might put a review for it on my discussion forum later.

Last night, around 11:15 pm I have finally finished cleaning and moving my old apartment. "I've finished moving and I can't move no more...." I don't think my apartment has ever been so clean since... since... since... I moved in about 10 months ago. Well... so now the problem is I have all those boxes in my house and I have a guest coming in to town today... I really need to find some time to sort thing out and put them where they belong.... or I can just pile it all up in the extra bedroom I have.... humm... that's a thought.....
It's a nasty day outside, but the cool thing is today is Wednesday. What does this mean? Well, it means that I will have to finish cleaning up my old place by tonight. Why? you ask. Well, my good friend Rick is coming to town tomorrow night. So I guess that means my weekend starts early. Woo hoo!!! I really like my new place, but I have to say this. With 3 flights of stairs inside the house, moving everything is killing me. DOH!... Maybe I am just a wimp.
I feel like it is very silly for someone to end a friendship just because I chose my girlfriend over that person. That is just seems very, very silly. The way I see it, I am very serious about my relationship with my girlfriend. If she doesn?t feel comfortable about something, I will respect her suggestions. I think my friend should understand and respect that as well. I don?t feel that is just cause to end a friendship. If it is, it I guess that is a pretty shallow friendship. Oh, well, I guess some people just don?t understand commitment involved in a serious relationship.
Thanks for everyone that came out to the bowling party last night. It was fun!!! And the left hand bowling, now that was wild. So here are some pictures for everyone to enjoy. There is the picture of everyone there, picture of Doc bowling, and Scott guarding the appitizer tray. Enjoy!
Just got back from the United Way Rally... Well, sure thing there were "Texan's Cheerleaders" there. But I was disappointed. I thought all the cheerleaders where going to be there and mingle with everyone, but instead there were only TWO cheerleaders!!! Uh... it was kinda gay... Boy I do miss Birmingham's United Way Rally ... At least we had soda and Krispy Kreme.... UMMM... doughnuts!!
I HATE SPAM!!!! I just check my mixtrix.net mail and guess what... I got a bout 3 spam mails.... I guess this means more are coming. I hate this crap, once your email address is out there will be tons of ads coming your way. My question is HOW DO WE FIGHT IT????
What a great game. Auburn vs. Florida 23 - 30. I know I know Auburn lost, but you had to see the game. Auburn was very close to have a come back. Well, lost in overtime... it kind of hurt. But ... it is still great to be an AUBURN TIGER!!! WAR EAGLE!
Yep, I broke down. I rented a pickup truck yesterday. So last night after 2 hours of moving, we finally move all my big stuff over to my new place. Boy, that was some work out. So I believe this weekend, the goal is to clean the place up. I will see if I can get a picture or two on the website so everyone can see my new home. Once again, Thanks Scott and Wendy for all the help in moving yesterday. Thanks Again!!!
Well, everything is back up and running. So I guess tonight will be the first night I spend a night in my new home. Yep, I got to get my money's worth and spend more time in my new home. Boy! it is alot bigger then my current apartment. I can't wait to get all of my stuff here.
gosh... it's spreading like wild fire... AHHH... these people got to get a real job..... here is another one. This chick just got started last week and she already have about 20 or so people giving her money. This is a messed up world. http://www.divaindistress.com/
Ok... humm... it seems like I am not the only one that thinks Karyn is a irresponsible leeching bitch. If you are going to waste your money, you might as well give them to the super rich CEO's. People... don't be stupid ... save your own money for a raining day. Don't just give it away to people who expect people to pay off their credit card bills.
So most of my friends and I agrees that savekaryn.com is ridicules. I thought someone should make a site called http://www.dontsavekaryn.com . Well, I guess someone beat me to it.
Is it possible? Begging on the internet? I mean an honest beggar on the internet?
This chic made $17K in 4 month just by creating a website and asking for donations. And yes... she is saying all her money are counted as income and declared with IRS. Her name is Karyn. She was even mentioned on People magazine and Salon.com . But I still feel like that's wrong or maybe I just feel stupid for not thinking it up first.

Well, this weekend was interesting. I am now officially a home owner, it is kind of cool. I work on the house most of Saturday. We got the place all wired up now only thing I need is to have the cable and telephone service transferred over there. With the help of the Steibs, ?THANKS WENDY?, we were able to patch up all the little holes around the house. I guess the House warming party is coming up quicker and quicker.
So what else happened? Humm... Auburn Lost .... DOh that sucks!
Well, around 11:00 am today... i am now officially a home owner. AKA... I am now in major debt. So when's the house warming party??? humm... soon I hope ... Keep in touch
Man the pressure is on... I finally got all my money issue for the closing taken care of. Boy... I hope I don't have to buy another house anytime soon. It is so much work. So tonight I will go for my final walk through and tomorrow morning, I will be officially in debt once again.
What? 30 Days? In todays world, what takes 30 days to process? I can get a gun in less then 30 days, so why do I have to register 30 days before an election? Because it takes that long to process??? Well, I have just become a citizen of this country and I would like to vote in the coming election, but it seems that INS is not the only big government bureaucracy in our system. Isn't it funny that you have to register at least 30 days before an election in order to vote, but you can wall up to a gun shop and get instant background check. Well, I guess I will go up to the court house tomorrow and see if they will let me register, even though I am 4 days late. Probably not. We will see... Interesting fact... this will be the first opportunity for me to vote in any election in my life and I am probably going to miss it because of something stupid like this.
So today I got a call from Jillians. Yep, it is a place sort of like Dave and Busters. Well, I won a VIP party from their business card drawing. So that means I can throw a small office party for all my friends. Well, everyone who is reading this is invited. If you are interested, please email me and let me know a good time. Monday through Thursdays only.
So this is the week... This Friday, I will be closing on my new house. Wooo Hoo!!! I guess interesting fact... Auburn had an off week last week and so did I. HA HA HA. Ok, I will try to keep my website less stale from now on.
