LOL, i thought i could get through a MONTH without somebody fucking my name up. Well, here it is. It's only the 1st of July and somebody already blew it.

Hollywood Reporter. My "so called" name is under the Tomb Raider site credits. And the great thing is that Jason's name seems to always be fucked up as much as mine, but they got it right on this try. BTW it's RIEGLER.

NOT.

rilgler, eigler, riggles, reigler. wriegler. wrigley, jiggler or REISLER

Jason has broght something to my attention. This is REALLY scary.

I told you so, By Robert X. Cringely

I just know this guy is right, but i wish people in the world would wake up and see it.

ok, the Buffy Musical is on UPN right now. :) at least they rerun good episodes during the summer.


Tuesday July 2nd 2002 11:29 PM PST
HOLY SHIT! i just got a email for a Pyramid!!! Do you think i should send in the $25 to all the people ($5 to each person) I really dont know. What should i do? GAWD DAMN! are people really STILL THIS FUCKIN STUPID?!?!? I thought people would have figured this one out a few decades ago. This is one of the oldest scams in the book. I remember when people in college were trying to pull this same shit on fuckin freshman. I just never understod how a Jr. or Senior could come into the dorms and NOT KNOW that they are walking down a wing that is filled with nothing but math, engineering and computer science majors. I have to admit in the cases that i saw in college there were stupid people on both sides of the fuckin game. Older fucks who had been tricked into the scam by their buddies while they were drunk and now they were trying to recoup the 25 bucks that they lost. And then the freshman who thought that this was the best thing since sliced bread and that everybody was gonna be rich by next month. The mail that i just got tonight, I have a feeling that ALL the addresses on it are going to the same fucker. Sorry asshole, i actually know to do math. 5 X 5 = 25 , 25 x 5 = 125, 125 x 5 = 625, 625 x 5 = 3125, 3125 x 5 = 15626. Do you think thing that over 15 thousand people are gonna send me 5 bucks? FUCK YOU.


Wednesday July 3rd 2002 12:04 AM PST
I just turned on the idiot box so i could watch the nightly episode of Star Trek Voyager, and as i was in the higher end channels i came across a Japanese game show, take show thingy. I am too drunk and i had to watch. So. these two chefs are trying to cook a gormet dish in less than 100 seconds. and it's fuckin great. I have never heard so many people screaming for people diceing onions. LOL


Wednesday July 3rd 2002 01:02 AM PST
more TV. I was watching Craig Kilborn (after Star Trek , and how do you spell that?) and he had Val Kilmer on. He says " i grew up in LA, in the valley..." then waits a second and says "nobody every claps". i just thought that was funny. ok, give me a break i'm drunk. :P


Wednesday July 3rd 2002 02:29 AM PST

This is a REALLY old picture of Steve ready to moutain bike and showing off his great gloves. The really scary part about this is that it's such a nice picture of JPL also. If you know what you're looking at, you can actually see the clean room that they assembled the hubble telescope in.


Wednesday July 3rd 2002 02:38 AM PST

I dug this up from the bottom of a box in the bottom of my closet. I was looking for a little audio adapter and instead i found an old worthless piece of garbage. Would somebody kill this guy so that the price of his card will go up. It's only selling on ebay for $6.95.


Wednesday July 3rd 2002 01:47 PM PST
I am a geek. I knew it all along, but not i'm putting multiple cameras in my house. Just wait til the wife gets home. This will not last, but at least you can see more of my place.


Wednesday July 3rd 2002 03:37 PM PST
Remember the Chain Pyramid letter i told you all that i got. Well since i first posted the blog entry, i have received the email AGAIN AND AGAIN. I have gotten it a total of FOURTEEN times. So, the only thing that i can determine is that the fucker is bouncing it off a mail server that doesn't know who he is. The only remaining piece of info it the IP that that message came from. So PING ALL YOU WANT! 63.253.164.44


Saturday July 6th 2002 01:12 PM PST
OH MY I AM TOAST!! I spent about 6 hours in the sun on the 4th. I was down in San Celmente with Jen's family at "King's" beach house. I was in the water all day long. It was great cause you can watch all the fireworks from Dana Point to San Clemente all at once. Anyway i didnt use any sunblock, so now i am a fuckin mess. I felt like shit all day on the 5th and was drinking gallons of water and using solarcaine all over my body. I feel like i have 3rd degree burns everywhere.

Then lastnight we went to go see the Cranberries at the Greek with Will and Jon. The Cranberries played a great show and a really long set. I have to admit though i never though i listened to them THAT much, but i knew all but two songs. And those two where off their new album. The worst problem about the show was we were sitting in front of the "BIGGEST FAN" and she was a screamer. And i mean scream like the crazy fuckin insane scream you hear for the Beatles back in the 60's. I thought this girl was gonna scream herself out in the way like maybe her voicebox would drop out, BUT NO. She kept screaming the ENTIRE fuckin concert. I was just laughing my ass off cause usually my ears will ring after a show becasue of how loud it is, and i could tell right then that my ears were HURTING because of this idiots brainless screaming.

so after the show we went to South Pasadena's only hot spot. That's right, Carrows. It's not quite the Denny's on Sunset, but then again who needs to be sitting with a bunch of pimps, whores, transvestites, gangbangers and just all around DIRTY people while you're eating. It was much more upscale, but we did see about 10 drunk highschool kids stumbling out of the place as we were parking and coming in. They all were pushing each other and finally about 8 of them pushed each other right into ONE car and pulled away. Hmmmm i remember nothing to do in a small town on a friday night.

Anyway, after a late meal i got back to my house and applied another layer of solarcaine and tried to sleep.


Saturday July 6th 2002 09:43 PM PST
Well, I'm sitting over at Will's dad's house hagning out. Will is housesitting for his dad so we had a BBQ tonight and are now watching "just one of the guys". I haven't watched this movie in almost 10 years and i can't believe how fuckin funny it is. anyway back to the movie


Tuesday July 9th 2002 01:45 PM PST
I am peeeeeeling. I sit down on my couch now and i leave a pile of DNA evidence that i was there. Half of my skin on my body is all falling off at once. For the last few days i have been taking time just to move, cause if i stretch the wrong way it fuckin kills. My skin is actually tight all across my back it's so burnt. And now that it's peeling, it's not just burning, its ALSO itching!! Well, this is my punishment for being a dipshit on the 4th.


Tuesday July 9th 2002 04:36 PM PST
I just one click ordered my Warcraft III cause i'm too lazy to leave the house and drive to Fry's. But, it's a fuckin million degrees outside and i'm not going to drive to burbank where it's gotta be at least 20 degrees hotter. So, i sit at home waiting til tomorrow. Shit where did Kozmo go? I just wish everything could have sustained itself a couple years back. You could get anyTing you wanted in 30 minutes or less. Now all you can get is pizza. I don't know what happened the day everybody got to vote on the ONE thing that we could get delievered. I think i must have been asleep after an all nighter workin on some code and drinking beer and eating..... (pizza) FUCK. I guess i'm just as much at fault as everybody else, but can't we get just ONE company to come back from the IPO graveyard and just deliver Video Games and DVD's? fuck and i really miss that sock puppet. I'm depressed. I think i'm gonna go order some pizza.


Tuesday July 9th 2002 05:54 PM PST
Ok, for the sick evil people out there.

This is just the back of my next where all the skin had come off my body. I'll post more when the back really starts to come off.
I am still in a lot of pain. :(


Tuesday July 9th 2002 11:17 PM PST
So a few days ago i bought a paper shredder. I got a XEROX one cause i thought it was a good price and i figured it would last. So i get it home and i go crazy. I must have had 5 years worth of shit that needed shredding. So long story short. I killed it. Here's the funny thing. i didn't put too much shit in it. It's a 8 sheet MAX shredder and i didn't have a lot of shit in it when it died. I just started to sound like shit and i could tell that the motor inside was just grinding the gears. So, being the stupid fuck that i am i don't bother taking the thing back to the store, i just open it up. XEROX had the best design for it's products as far as PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE. This thing is a heavy piece of equipment, and most of the gears in it are metal. It looks like it could last forever, but then you find the one gear thats PLASTIC. The motor that turns the gears has a metal rotor. Then that rotor is in contact with a platic gear. When i open the thing up, the metal rotor has made a bald spot on the plastic gear and there is no way it's gonna ever turn it again. Ok, game over, put the thing back together and take it back to the store. Nope i don't think so. I just made a little modification.




Wednesday July 10th 2002 02:03 PM PST
OK, i have two friends in the Windy City. One of them is PUNK, and the is a DJ's. So, when the DJ's sends me something is always has something to do with Rave Culture or Clubs or whatever, but this time it's kinda scary. There is a Bill being proposed to Congress called the

`Reducing Americans' Vulnerability to Ecstasy Act of 2002' or the `RAVE Act'.

The beginning of the Bill reads like this

"To prohibit an individual from knowingly opening, maintaining, managing, controlling, renting, leasing, making available for use, or profiting from any place for the purpose of manufacturing, distributing, or using any controlled substance, and for other purposes. "

Just one question, if you leave out all the stuff in the middle... and limit it to just ONE of the options...

To prohibit an individual from knowingly managing any place for the purpose of using any controlled substance, (that's what they are trying to get at, right?) and for other purposes. "

Then what does "and for other purposes." MEAN?

Well, i think i found the other purpose.

"SEC. 7. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS FOR A DEMAND REDUCTION COORDINATOR.
There is authorized to be appropriated $5,900,000 to the Drug Enforcement Administration of the Department of Justice for the hiring of a special agent in each State to serve as a Demand Reduction Coordinator."

So let me get this... Congress wants to piss away 5.9 Million to hire 50 people that check out their own state? I guess what offends me is that they had to come up with such a bad job title for these people. "Demand Reduction Coordinator". Cmon this is not going to do anything. You could throw 5.9 million at California ALONE and not make a dent in the "Demand". This Bill may have "good intentions", but to call it the RAVE ACT and then in the first sections of the bill really villianize promoters is a fuckin joke. anyway, make your own decision. go HERE and search for "S.2633".


Wednesday July 10th 2002 04:37 PM PST
Ok, just like Jason says, here's another useless question poll to find out what kind of person you are. Or in this case which Pixies song you are.

Hey
It's hard to get to know you, but once people do, they're in for a wild ride. You had a rough childhood, and it reflects in your speech and mannerisms- you're focused on things like whores and crack babies, which fascinates people at first but may ultimately drive them away. Despite your somewhat depraved outward persona, you're a truly decent person who craves and deserves love and friendships.
Which Pixies song are you?


Thursday July 11th 2002 01:37 AM PST
Ok, i said i would put another picture of my sunburn online, and i figure it's about time i put the topless photo of myself on my site.


Thursday July 11th 2002 03:55 PM PST
So i thought i had changed my amazon one clik settings to ship overnight. So i ordered warcraft 3 and figured it would be here yesterday. So today i notice that i had it shipped standard and it wasn't gonna get there til the 15th. So right before i was about to cancel the order and go to frys to pick it up, i got the confimation email that they shipped it. Well, i'm going away for the weekend and now i guess i'll have to wait.

:(


Friday July 12th 2002 09:49 AM PST
It seems that i have convinced others to plugin their webcams! Don't get me wrong, i don't think i am some kind of profound leader, just some geek that has finnally convinced the other geeks , "its safe to come out, nobody's looking". So anyway, i got an email yesterday to tell me that my code on my page was all wrong and that i needed to pull my head out of my ass (again). So now i'm getting this feeling (like everybody else) that it's 1997 and we're all back at some startup internet company testing video software again.


Friday July 12th 2002 10:08 AM PST
about 10 years ago i met Jennifer. She's now my wife (i sound like a dumbass explaining this). So when we first started dating i did all the stupid romantic shit. On one of our first dates we sat around in my back yard and painted. And at one time i was actually proficient with a paintbrush. So this painting that i did that night has been sitting around for all that fuckin time just sitting in a portfolio (with a lot of other BAD artwork) in my closet. So.... (there are a lot of 'so's in my writing)(and a lot of parenthesis) i finally got the damn thing framed for her birthday.


Monday July 15th 2002 05:30 PM PST
I just spent the weekend in Ojai just north of Los Angeles. I went with Jen and her parents and her brother. All i can say is they know how to NOTHING very WELL. We did NOTHING and in style. Most of the time we just sta by the pool and drank, but then every night they had some little secret place that had the best food imaginable. I played golf with Jen's dad on Sunday morning at 6:30 AM. We were the firts group on the course so we moved quick and had the space to fuck around. I didn't even bother keeping score cause i suck so much. The worst part was that on the way there we got stuck in traffic and the AC in our car blew out, so it was almost 120 in the fuckin car.


Monday July 15th 2002 09:31 PM PST
I can't get my build order down for warcraft III. I know this game is going to be great ONCE i figure out how to be a better player, but so far i am getting my ass kicked. I played a few of the scenarios and then bailed out to go play custom games. And just starting out it still am being caught with my pants down about 20 minutes into the games. I know i gotta level up my "heros" but i haven't been able to fight off the computer. Anyway, back to the fun. Hopefully a few more days of playing will help me figure our how to fuckin play.

And..... as far as a review. Let's just say StarCraft + Diablo II + Warcraft (I & II) = Warcraft III. Anyone how has ever played any of those games should know this a perfect combination of the cool elements of all.


Monday July 15th 2002 09:49 PM PST
I have had a lot of friends meet online, and i have had a lot of people i know date online. But this is a first. My friend Anne up in SF just got engaged to a guy she has been seeing for awhile now, and she met him online! It's actually a lot cooler than that. They met in an online dating system and they actually live 2 blocks from each other and shop and go to the same places. I've met her fiance and all I can say is that in the little time that i have been able to spend with him I can tell that they are going to be perfect for each other. I am so happy for her cause I know how she finally found the right guy, and I'm laughing at her cause i know how much hell the next year of planning for the wedding is going to be. LOL congrats Anne.


Tuesday July 16th 2002 12:59 PM PST
My first few games of warcraft have been bad. I know i have much to learn, but i tried to play against Jason last night and had no chance in hell of winning. I will now however take his advise and use the Undead as my primary force. I think once i've learned them i'll move on.


Tuesday July 16th 2002 01:58 PM PST
it's my mom's birthday today, and i went to breakfast with her and my dad early today. We talked about all the usual shit and then my dad says, "Oh my, we saw Road to Perditiion. That was so violent! If i had known it was a mob movie i never would have gone and seen it" (LOL) then he follows up with "we should have seen Minority Report instead". Well, i don't think there is a doubt about it. They saw the better movie.


Tuesday July 16th 2002 09:57 PM PST
I have never done hard drugs. No LSD.... nothing like that. But.... this picture makes it look otherwise. thanks to Steve for the photo. BTW it was taken on a night out seeing Minority Report at Shitty Walk in Universal City.


Wednesday July 17th 2002 04:34 PM PST
Apple stock dropped today. They announced a dumpload of new products as well as OS10.2. I didn't even realize that Macworld Expo NY was today, otherwise i would have sold off all my stock yesterday and bought i back at the end of the day today. It always drops when they announce new stuff. I guess it just freaks most people out. Anyway... I went into the Apple store today in Glendale. All i can say is that they know how to make a store look good. Now if they could just pull their heads out of their asses and drop the stupid fuckin ad campaign that they are using right now (Switch to mac) and get back to the old one (Think Different, which really was just "Look how fuckin cool we can make a computer look")


Wednesday July 17th 2002 06:29 PM PST
i hate telemarketers and i hate verisign for putting my fuckin home phone number out there as a FAX number. On a lighter note, i have figured out how to get rid of them. I just say my roomate is not home and she controls all the bills. :) bye bye


Friday July 19th 2002 07:37 PM PST
Holy Shit! It's been a year! Well, for those of you who know what i'm talking about, and for those of you who were there... FUCK! It's been a WHOLE YEAR!


Friday July 19th 2002 07:38 PM PST
Oh, one more note. Let Regan go Koga!


Friday July 19th 2002 07:39 PM PST
Jen just told me to take it down. :)


Sunday July 21st 2002 12:20 PM PST
Last night Jen and I went to go see a play in hollywood that an college friend of Jen's directed. This was her first directing credit, and because of that i can't blame her for how bad it was. I can't even explain how fuckin bad it was. She didn't write it, so i won't blame her. But... whoever did write it... GAWD DAMN. Ok, the setting was a "room in lebanon" in or around 1991. The characters were an American, an Irishman, and and Englishman. Now just from this you can already see that this is turning into a bad joke. (There was an Ameican, Irishman and an Englishman driving in a car.) Yikes. So they are all hostages and they are all going crazy in this little cell that they share. THAT's IT. There was no in depth development of the characters. You barely even got to know them. You don't care about them. You think, OH MY this is awful that this guy i don't know is in this room in Lebanon.... Oh, actually this is a guy who can't get a job in hollywood and is unlucky enough to star in a play that SUCKS. I'm sorry, the characters were as shallow as the standard sterotypes of each countries' people. I guess that's what pissed me off so much. These people weren't people at all they were just the standard facades of people. Ok, i can't say it was all that bad. The set was nicely built, the lighting was great. They actually had a florescent tube above them that would give the set a green diseased glow. They had music ques that also came in and out as the men would slip in and out of sanity. As they did this they would usually start singing old 40's and 50's pieces of music. All in all... I can't blame anybody on the cast and crew of this play. They all worked hard and did the best they could do with a awful piece of shit writing.


Sunday July 21st 2002 12:25 PM PST
So it's been a year that Jen and I have been married. I really have been trying to think of everything that has happened in the last year and it seems like a blur. It's strange though... Jen and I haven't changed in any of the ways that i though we would or in the ways that other people told us we would. We have been together almost 10 years now and i think it's gotten to the point where we are tolerant of the things we hate about each other and we, are actually learning to love more and more of those things. I don't know if that makes any sense at all but it just a stupid way of saying that i find less and less of Jen that annoys me. It used to be all the time that we would fight about stupid shit. We still have those fights, but now we both look at each other about 5 minutes into the fight and laugh about what stupid fucks we are being. Well, anyway, one year down.


Sunday July 21st 2002 10:15 PM PST
Ok, there is nothing like eating a ONE YEAR OLD CAKE!


Sunday July 21st 2002 10:21 PM PST
Ok, so jen and i have been married one year. it's fuckin amazing that we didn't kill each other, but then again there has been nothing better that has ever happened to me in my life.

We've just decided to drink ourselves into oblivion. :)


Sunday July 21st 2002 10:23 PM PST
Ok, all my friends are going to give me shit for this one

Jen and i have been dancing in the dark, well actually with one candle lit, to Burt Bacharach. Ok, so we're both drunk and we are being really stupid. :)


Tuesday July 23rd 2002 01:22 AM PST
I just spent over an hour on the phone with Jason just shooting the shit. I plowed through a bottle of wine and both of us were just laughin our asses off about all the shit that is going on. I really wish Jason had not moved away. (sorry Jason, i know how much you hate LA) It was just so fuckin fun even when we had to be at a shity job. At least we could bitch about all the fucked up things. Anyway, now i am drunk and i still got a shitload of work to do. I got 3 guys coming over tomorrow morning to look at this inetractive presentation i have been working on for 4 weeks. I can't complain. They are bringing a pay check. :) well fuck it. Back to work.


Thursday July 25th 2002 11:53 AM PST
You always watch old movies and it seems like they never are quite as good as you remember them. I feel that way about a lot of 80's movies. But there is one exception (at least for me). Better Off Dead is hands down one of the greatest movies of all time! I finally got around to buying it on DVD last night and then subjected my wife (who had not seen it) to the jokes that she had alread heard referenced by many of my friends. At the first mention of two dollars, jen got this puzzled look on her face and finally asked, "so this is where that stupid fuckin line comes from?" Well anyway, i usually judge a movie by the embarrassment factor. This means if a situation in the movie can be akward enough to make Jen squirm, get up from the couch and walk into the kitchen for no reason then it is a good movie. Movies like Rushmore illustrate this perfectly. Most of the movie, Jen spent in the kitchen. :) Better off dead performed great on this scale. Jen got up no less that 5 times during the movie to get a drink of water, wash a dish that had already been washed, check the stove, look in the freezer, and turn on the garbage dissposal. I just sat and laughed at the movie.


Thursday July 25th 2002 03:28 PM PST
Well, I won my first game against Jason, and I did it the only way i could. I Cheated!! I got in a fight with Jen in the middle of the game and had to pause and when i got back Jason was on his other puter and didn't see me building shit up. heheheh.


Friday July 26th 2002 11:18 PM PST
it was my brother's birthday today and we all just went out to dinner. After about 5 bottles of wine, we all were telling all the family secrets to all the other people that were there. As always it was a lot of fun. I am drunk now I think i will call all my friends. :)


Saturday July 27th 2002 12:37 PM PST
There have been a number of funny links that i have gotten from Jason and Will in the last few days. One of these links finally led me to this short story (really short) about GoogleBot.


Saturday July 27th 2002 12:44 PM PST
Now, I would love to think that this is going to change the world. The Lifter But for some reason i am still a little sceptical. Will and i have talked about a great number of applications of this invention. The most logical would be a payload base of an large truck that would do nothing more than reduce the drag coefficient. You do this, basically just lift the payload a little so it's lighter, and then the disel engine of the truck will not have to fight the weight of the payload, just the inertia. So, i guess what i really want to see is, How much force does this thing really put out. I am ready to build one, i am just worried about getting the proper power suply and not killing myself with it. Advise for Power Supply


Tuesday July 30th 2002 03:20 PM PST
Yellow Sky

Well it's 3 in the afternoon, and nowhere NEAR sunset, but already there is a yellow tint to all of the sky. Well it is brushfire season and i should expect this, but damn it STINKS. I gotta flip on the news and find out what's burning.


Tuesday July 30th 2002 10:28 PM PST
Today was one of those days when i feel like i am not doing ANYTHING right. I just feel like even though i am making money, i am still not doing anything at all. I just have busy work that i am going to keep doing until i finally am worm food. well "So be it" (thanks harry) i just need to find something to inspire me. I need to something that will wake me up. Jen and I both feel this way. She's been going through the motions of classes all summer and is fed up with that busy work as much as i am with my living. Or is it the other way around....? whatever. Sometimes i feel like i should just stop coding and start painting. I don't fucking know. and that's the problem. I am just sitting here not knowing. i guess what it is really is that i am bored out of my mind. The shit that i am doing is just pointless. Stupid presentations to get millions of dollars for grants that i will never work on. Its like i am an art director on a project that there is no programming involved in at all. It's all a fake. I need to so something that will excersize my brain. That's it! Excersize the brain and excersize the creative side. BUT HOW? somebody tell me....


Wednesday July 31st 2002 12:24 PM PST
in my depressed mode last night i forced myself to code. I set myself on one goal and tried to finish a entire shockwave module. Brian and Wendy had mentioned a few weeks back that they might need a jigsaw puzzle engine and that they would need to swap out the image just by switching an external jpg. I have to admit this is not the first time this one has crossed my mind. I've wanted to build this for a long while and just never got around to it. Well, i guess, just being pissed that i wasn't doing anything, i forced myself to solve the problem.

...
I was up til 5 am with my nose in a director book. I actually came across a new set of commands that i didn't even realize that macromedia had snuck into the new newest version of director. All i want to do it load the jpg from an external location and then chop it into little picecs. NOT SQUARES. That's too fuckin simple and i've already done that! I want strange pices that actually look like jigsaw pieces. Well, i will end this rant by saying i got it. I am half way there and i have actually made pieces out of jpg. At first it took over 3 minutes to build them, then at about 4 am i found something that let me speed up the process. Now i have them building in about 2 seconds. I need to get back to the code now and finish the engine. I am going to try to have it live by then end of the day or tomorrow.


Wednesday July 31st 2002 12:36 PM PST
i think part of my problem is the fact that my one therepudic (how the fuck do you spell that?) activity has been removed from my life. When i worked at my last job, i went through as much bullshit as everybody does. I dealt with it the way everybody does. Or at least the people in Los Angeles. I took it out on the road. DRIVE AS FAST AS YOU CAN ON THE WAY HOME. And scream at everybody that gets in your way. Trust me, when you get home, you really want to see your wife and just sit and be happy. NOW i am already AT HOME. I don't DRIVE ANYWHERE!!! I guess i should get a hampster wheel and start to excresize. :)


Wednesday July 31st 2002 12:53 PM PST
riggs recalls two monkeys in an office listening to Prodigy at ear pounding volume. People at Paramount were not happy. i suddenly feel the need to install and play a little marathon while listening to Smack My Bitch Up. Well, it will have to wait, i am currenly getting the frustration out with a regiment of Atari Teenage Riot. NIN and Prodigy will be used later.

I dont know how much more of this i can take. Jen just finished with her monthly (well it seems like weekly) rant of how much of a fuckin lazy ass i am. She constantly bitches about how i don't do a fuckin thing and i need to get a job. Well... i really don't know what i am going to do. I am so frustrated with my own life and my inability to make things work. I am very close to throwing in the towel and just getting a bullshit job. I have this strange feeling that this is going to be the vicious cycle of the rest of my life. I get a job and then after a period of time i want to kill myself so i leave. Then i sit at home and burn off some steam til Jen screams at me so much i go find another job. any suggestions? BTW- driving around in my car for an hour didn't help.

Two Words

Your home = cabin fever
Your car = sits untouched
Your job = boredom itself
Your signifigant other = screaming truth
Your Family = too close
Your Friends = have jobs
The Internet = garbage heap
Television = no cable
Books = not enough
Today = fucking sucks (thanks jason)

i just got a call from a client that needed help on his puter. I built a presentation using macromedia director and built it to be viewable at 800 x 600. So he calls up and actually needs me to walk him through the process by witch you change your monitor resolution. Yikes, he was set to 640 x 480!! Now does anybody out there really set their monitor to anything less than 1280 x 1024 anymore (unless you're doing NTSC video)? And the sad thing is that people really give me a hard time for my 1600 x 1200 shit. :)
