…look what the cat dragged in

I know, I know…What’s the use of having a blog if you don’t use it…

I could make all kinds of excuses but I won’t. A lot has happened since my last post and I don’t really want to go into details, so I’ll keep this brief.

I’m on vacation.

I’m single again.

I now own a dog.

I quit my guild.

I went golfing.

I won $800.00 at the Casino.

Bought a new DVD player.

I’m tiling the shower. Sorta.

I turned 45.

The yard-work has begun.

Weather is getting nicer.

I still love Vodka.

Trying to find a use for my iTouch since buying a Droid.

I don’t care about your farm.

Need to buy an external HD.

Pepperoni is NOT the new bacon.

I lost some weight.

I still smoke.

Facebook is crack.

Need to update my WP installation.

Checking out Joomla.

Bought some new shoes.

Filed my taxes.

Developed some film.

And, uh, yeah…

So, that’s all I have to say about that. Let’s see if I can post again before 2011

I hope that all is well in your world…

Wheeeew

in which I’m catching my breath from recent events…

The last couple of weeks have been exciting and packed with the goodness. Thought I’d drop you all a quick post to get you up to speed. This will be the condensed version. I finally got a new roof put on the house last week after a long wait. It looks like it’s all finished up and now I can start getting the yard back in shape. I recently met a very cute girl that I’m totally diggin’ on and have been very busy. There has been great food, wine tasting, cocktails, dancing, bbqs, stock car racing, friends and plenty of laughter to say the least. Looking forward to the days ahead. Work seems to be picking up for me and feeling good about my progress and the chance to better my sales skills. My bills are paid and I seem to be managing my funds better and have more to work with at the moment. I’ve shed some pounds. Life is good. I feel good. I like this.

All for now but more to come…

You might be a redneck

Posted under Friends, Gaming, Golf, Home, Life, food

…if your photostream looks like mine

As I was looking at my site over the weekend, I couldn’t help but notice that the current pics in my photostream would probably give some the impression that I was truly a redneck. This might be the case, so let’s review. Glancing to the right of this post you will see the following: Me drinking vodka, guitars and a deer head on the wall, (actually an Antelope, but you get the picture), a pack of smokes, more vodka, a burger right off the grill, me playing guitar and the dashboard of a 1975 Monza as well as a Hurst Shifter. To me, nothing says ‘redneck’ like booze, smokes, BBQ, guitars, deer heads and car parts! Just sayin’. For those of you who know me in real life, this is not breaking news.

Last week when by quickly. The website migration was a total success, work was smooth and home life was good. It’s really nice to get back into the swing of things without all of the mental stress. It seems like the year is slipping by and it will soon be Fall and then another Winter. I don’t know know, each year just moves by a little quicker than the last. I really try to live slowly, savoring the moments day to day but lately, the world seems to be in a big freakin’ hurry for whatever reason. I chalk it up to age but maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I’m just more aware of the things around me, maybe I’m seeing my life differently or realizing how short our time on this planet  really is. Not sure. At any rate, I’m trying to keep up with it all.

I decided that I need to have some ‘me’ time. I’ll be taking 4 days off later this week. My Monday is done and I have just two more work days before I take off for some R&R. I booked a room out at Wildhorse Resort Casino, including a couple rounds of golf for myself and @smugirishman. Been golfing with him for many years now and looking forward to some good times on the course this week. I haven’t played much over the last couple of years for various reasons. I miss it. I’m a golfer and that’s all there is to it. I will always love that silly game and hope to enjoy it for the rest of my life. There will be pictures of the course and the bloody outcome as always. Planning on playing some cards as well. Wanna get in a Hold ‘Em tourney and some 3 card poker. Might win, might lose, either way it’ll be fun. Been threatening to go to the museum there for many years and this just might be the trip that I actually do it. We’ll see.

Other than that, not alot going on.

Oh yeah, I haven’t logged on to my WoW account for about 3 weeks now. For some reason, I just haven’t been into it. It kinda comes and goes for me. Love to play and always will but I just haven’t been feeling it lately. The last patch hit, I logged in to check things out and haven’t been back since. Maybe after my vacation I’ll renew my desire to play. I hate it when I dont’ play and know that I’m paying for it. All good though, Supramax will be back in action soon enough.

Well, that about all for now. I just had nice New York strip, a few cocktails and I think it’s time to find something good on TV to watch. Hope that all is well in your world.

All for now…

Pulling weeds

Posted under General, Home, Technical, weather

literally and digitally…

Well, it’s Wednesday, I’m done with work and home to relax a bit. Having a beer and getting ready to go do some weeding around the house. I weed the flowerbeds one week and they’re full of more weeds the next. I’m pretty lazy, for the most part and loathe manual labor. So there are times when I have to force myself to do the work that needs to be done around here. The yard managed to survive the heat wave we had last week and it’s once again growing and wanting to be mowed. All good.

I also will be pulling some weeds online. The deleting/removing/blocking/unlinking of unwanted or useless content from my website and other forms of social networking that I dabble in. Not trying to be an asshole or anything but I’ll be damned if I continue to be spammed, ignored, bothered or blasted with useless data that really means nothing to me at this point in my life. I just don’t have room for it any longer and that’s just the way it is.

My website has been bouncing lately and apparently the server was totally rebuilt last week. Special thanks to Mush and Keef for giving me a place to host. It still seems to be a little funky and I’ll be updating my WP installation soon in hopes of some stability. I now have a current backup and hope I don’t hose it when I try the WP update. It should be OK as I’ve done it before but if it’s not, please be patient and I’ll make it work.

In other news, I’ve been totally diggin’ the cooler weather and I hope to never see another 100 degree day for the rest of the summer. It just wears me out.

I also have three or four days of vacation time left and thinkin’ that I might want to use them soon. Not sure where I want to go but they are there for the taking and I could use a break right about now. I feel as if I have been pushing too hard to make things good for myself and might want to just relax and let life run its course.

Not much news but that’s what I’ve got for now…

Take care…
