I'm entirely too moody. I will opine on that a little later....if I'm in the mood.

Ok, that sucks. I have all these pictures on my digital camera and no way of getting to them because I left the USB in Boston. Normally that wouldn't be a big to do except that I'll be in Atlanta until January 6th which is good because that's my home.....but still.....

I just want to know why I am still awake!!

Okay, new color scheme. Simplified. I will start an extensive list of what I find to be interesting web sites in the link section. I am going to be die hard about this, I think. Maybe...well I 'll give it the ol' college try!!!

I've decided that I'm not particularly crazy about how my blog looks so I will be completely changing it during the Christmas season.....

How exactly do you go about telling a coworker that combined with her loud stomping throughout the office and her loud voice heard throughout the entire floor voice that she is the last motherfucker that needs to be wearing a charm bracelet with bells?!?! LIke we can't already hear you coming from 50 feet away...and she wonders why she is single....it's not the men sweetheart....you're slowly working your way towards most annoying person in the Boston Metro area.....And I should be able to sue the friggin store that would sell reindeer accessories to a shopper....BAH HUMBUG....but you know what, even if I loved this time of year, she would be annoying the living dookie out of me....unnecessary noise is so unnecessary. And that may be the most profound shit you hear me say today!

Rain, sleet, snow...oh what fun. Boston weather SUCKS! But on a good note, I get to go home on Wednesday....I'm giddy about that but I can't feel my giddiness due the weather induced depression encasing my soul.....

Oh joy, more snow in Boston, because apparently last week's torrential snow storm just wasn't enough. I just don't understand why anyone would willingly choose to live in the New England area. All the New England people should get together and move their cities to other parts of the country that have tolerable weather. This is just ridiculous. I'm never warm....even inside of buildings because the building's are so old that they rarely ever actually get cozy warm. I sleep in a perpetual shiver but don't want to get out of bed for fear of going into cold related shock. The only place I can think of that I'm warm in is the train and I'm never on that more than 5 to 10 minutes so really this cannot be healthy for me!!

Become an artist!!! Mr. Picassohead

oK, I am not going to be able to hang in there. I'm trying to be a trooper but I can hardly keep my eyes open...funny thing is when I get back to the apartment (yeah I think I'll actually go there today) I'll probably be wide the hell awake....but I may take a nap depending on the circumstances.

And this week's money hungry chickenhead of the week: Kelci Stringer!!!
Kelci Stringer is the widow of former Vikings player Korey String who died of a heat stroke related incident in 2001. So this grieving widow decides to sue the Vikings and some of the doctors. Loses. Then she sues the makers of Korey's helmet and shoulder pads. Hopefully she will lose that as well. What she needs to do is go get a job and stop trying to feed off her husband's fame. She should be friggin' ashamed of herself. It was a tragic accident...accident! She should just stop tarnishing his memory with her stupidity. She's an embarassment...luckily she has to pay 47 k to the Viking to cover their court costs. You reap what you sew!!!

Don't you love when people leave anonymous comments that make no sense? Why do this? Anyway, I have a slight hangover today and I'm supposed to be going to the office Christmas party in a few minutes. It's an open bar and I'm not sure all the liquor from last night is out of my system yet......oh bad bad liquid of temptation, why do you treat me so?

Kelis: Milkshake. I have no idea what this song is about but I like the beat and I actually saw the video and I liked both. I was a Kelis fan during her first album and I had plans to buy the second but I completely missed it coming out....maybe I'll try the third one...my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard and they're like it's better than yours damn right it's better than yours I could teach you but I'd have to charge....

Mr Nigga - Mos Def: Lyrical gem. Starts off kind of odd but definitely picks up speed and makes a lotta valid points concerning rascism in this country which I sincerely hope no one thinks is dead.

For the first time in my life, I think I'm actually depressed. I'm tired of Boston and yes the plethora of white stuff on the ground definitely has something to do with it. I want\need to be home because when I am there I feel like a stranger or guest in my own house. I miss my friends, my routines, my toilet, my truck, my lawn, my bed. I miss how when you turn the heat on in my house, it actually gets warmer. But most of all, I miss my fiancee, with all her craziness. I miss her cold feet waking me up in the middle of the night. I miss listening her talk to the damn cats. I miss hanging out upstairs in the office while she hangs out downstairs, both of us happy spending time together if though we aren't in the same room. I need to go home.

But I like the money I'm making here.

I cannot recall being so out of it for such an extended period of time....okay I'm playing drama king right now...my bad....but I am damn sleepy.....I forgot how much I loved black comedians until I watched comic view last night on BET, they were funny as hizzell....

Have you ever noticed all the abbreviations on messageboards: LOL, ROFLMAO, etc....do you think people really are sitting at their computer, reading a message and as they respond to the message they break into fits of laughter that result in them Rolling On Floor Laughing My Ass Off? I can't recall the last time I ever rolled on the floor and I have not lost my ass in any recent laughing attacks. Where do sayings and abbreviations like these come from and why do we not question their validity. Pondering time, yes it is pondering time...

Headed to the city!!

Oh and another rhetorical that rubs against the grain for me is 'How adjective of your choice is that?!?' I don't it's kind of adjective but I don't know if it's the adjectiveest that I've ever heard......

Okay, am I the only person in the world who hates the saying 'Can you say.....'. It's most often used when two guys are talking trash about some sports team or another. For example, "Can you say 5 touchdowns against your team?!?" How idiotic that is. It has to be the absolute stupidest rhetorical question in the world. Uh no I can't say that but I learned three other statements just the other day that I would love to demonstrate for you. I mean , it was kind of funny the first time someone said it but by the third time you hear it in the same conversation it definitely loses its comedic thunder.....

Uh oh, I've got a new blog so I may not be able to provide all my best wittiness to Xpinionated but I have enough to go around. For example, uh, hmm. Oh yeah, this is not good, I had nothing to say and it is because I put all my good thinking into my other blog......problem, ridiculously huge problem!!! I'm so scared.....

Excuse me, can I have the vegetarian steak fries, please?

I can't stand spoken word. It is so over dramatic and so often done in the same way....people are sheep!

MH sounds like R. Kelly's less talented cousin....

Marques Houstion: MH. Album is okay, some nice beats, relatively uninspiring vocals but not bad vocals. Just not outstanding. That girl remix is a fun song, de-emphasizes his lack of strong vocals but he's never had strong vocals just a voice that doesn't annoy....

Yep, I have one loyal reader not including myself but she never leaves comments so I don't even know if she is reading....ah the life of a solo author....Maybe I should form a group of solo bloggers as a support group. The we need love too blog!!! Yeah, and we could invite more popular bloggers in as weekly guest bloggers.....

DWELE - Subject. The album is definitely nice. It's not today's traditional r&b, rather I would classify it as neo soul like Bilal. Definitely a laid back album as there aren't any songs that you would listen to on your way to a party but definitely cook the date dinner and let the music ride in the background type groove....

Bought a new phone but I can't seem to download ringtones. OR get online for that matter and I'm paying for the ability to get online so I'm slowly yet surely getting pissed. If I have to call them again there will be some strong kicks to their Cingular nuts.

Showdown: R.Kelly: Storytellin with Ronald Isley....hot....long but still hot....

CBS.SportsLine.com - Consumer group wants NCAA to nix beer ads

---

This is a crock of shit. They claim university officials lose credibility for showing beer commercials during football games?!?! No they don't. Underage drinking on campuses is a problem. University officials lose credibility when they allow alcohol induced tailgating to go on on campus grounds. But beer commercials don't incite young people to drink. They drink because they've heard that it gets you drunk and has the potential to make everything that much more fun.

And then they throw out the stats that the 2003 Final four had more ads combined than did the other major sports. Well yeah, it's a tournament that is virtually impossible to catch all the games in a household where there is only one tv. So people go to bars. When you're at bars there is beer. Why not throw on a commercial to maybe push a multi-beer drinker who's on the fence into drinking your beer.

The Center for Science for Public Interest has entirely too much freaking time on their hands. They claim 'Coaching legends back....' their campaign. How much did they pay these legends? This is utterly stupid.....I wish there were some way I could boycott the CSPI but I've never heard of them before so I wouldn't know where to start!!

Had an interesting conversation yesterday with Kayla at the Avenue. Me and Tommy Gun were talking about why he didn't like Kobe Bryant. Basically, he thought Kobe was arrogant. So I asked him what the difference was between arrogance and confidence? He walked away, not because of my question but because he's a bartender and he's at work so he had to work. So I asked Kayla, who is a waitress but wasn't particularly busy at the time. She said she needed to think about it but while she was gone I thought about how often age plays a factor in the fine line between arrogance and confidence. Then I said, and I may have to get this copyrighted or something, "When you're an older person and arrogant, it is considered confidence. When you're a younger person and confident, it is arrogance."

I'm not cocky, I'm not conceited. I'm convinced. There's a difference. Being cocky means you act like you're the shit. Being conceited means you think you're the shit and treat people like shit as a result. Being convinced means you know you are what you are and you're happy with it. A lot of times being convinced comes off as cockiness or conceit, but don't let it fool ya!!

Beyonce -> Speechless: She lets loose on this slow jam and gets away from the whole pop scene a little bit, not much, but a little and it's a hella strong vocal performance.

Yep, definitely have out stayed my welcome in Boston. I'm tired of being here. Slowly but surely, everything is getting on my nerves. I think having L-Boogie come this weekend opened my eyes to how much I would rather be in Atlanta than here. Don't get me wrong, nice place, nice people, definitely a place to revisit at some point, but my summer work/vacation is starting to turn a little sour for me.

This is hilarious.

Obie Trice -> The Set UP: I knew Eminem's crew would represent and this is the joint that starts it off.

---

Obie Trice ft Eminem -> I'll Shit on You: Classic.....nuf said.

What happened to the days where you could see an internet link, click on it, and read whatever you wanted to read. Now you have to sign up for newspaper articles....flipping ridiculous....the internet is going to turn to shit if the corporate world continues to dig their slimy ass paws into it!!!

Ok, I beat Patrick in Mike Tyson's Heavyweight Boxing 32 to 1....winning the last 31 fights....embarassing for the newbie.....

Okay, there are three words that need to be erased from conversational vocabulary. 'So', 'like', and 'totally' should be banned for at least three years so that college kids everywhere can learn to be individuals again. If I hear one more sentence that starts with 'I was so totally like so like oh my god!' What exactly is being 'oh my god'? As a matter of fact, 'oh my god' should be banned for at least 6 months. COLLEGE KIDS, so like totally do not a sentence make.....

Okay, just realized that Marques Houston is that little cat from Immature/IMX and Sister, Sister. I found that kind of funny. I was thinking there was this new face in R and B and it was just a face that had finally gotten past puberty. Do ya damn thing baby boy.....

Beyonce feat Lloyd Banks -> Baby Boy rmx: OH this is a hot remix! Hot remix...slowed down to a classic dancehall riddim, Beyonce using some 'bout to have sex' voice, ridiculously nice

Lisa, one of my roomates in Boston, is very cool.

So I talked with the supervisor and it looks like they will keep me on past this thanksgiving....good because I need a job but bad cause I want to have a job at home!!!

R. Kelly -> Step in the Name of Love: This has to be the definition of smooth R & B....no rap interludes....just a funky bassline, smooth vocals, nice lyrics....HOTTT

---

R. Kelly - I'll Never Leave: Say what you will about the man's personal life, but his music can not be questioned.

NOt so sleepy right now....GOOOOOOOOOO Caffeine!!!!

Clipse -> Ma, I Don't Love Her: Nice beat, catchy

So sleepy...I can't even keep my eyes open right now...and I'm downing as much coffee as I can right now

Nivea -> Ya Ya Ya: Nice break beats, silky vocals, nice track

---

If you're wondering I'm listening to DefJay.com internet radio so I'm hearing things that I don't always hear. Maybe this will become the music critique blog....

Has any song had a longer airplay lifetime than 808 by Blaque...I mean I've heard it so many times that I have a damn dance choreographed to it......and whenever it comes on I rarely change the station, just start bobbin......too bad the rest of the album SUCKED!

Another hot track

---

Blu Cantrell -> Unhappy: The chorus is very catchy, singing is just above mediocre but it's a nice little tune anyway....

---

You know maybe I'm not as old as I feel. I keep finding all these songs I like although most of them are no longer hip hop. But as I talk, I'm hearing something kinda hot....hold on, trying to make sure I like it before I endorse it....it's very funky, vocals are unique, almost sounds like a mix between Remy Shand and Justin Timberlake....don't like the Timberlake influence.....but I think I like it...

---

Thicke -> When I Get You Alone

Yes, yes, yep

-JayZ

Marques Houston --> Clubbin: This joint would be much hotter without the mandatory rap interlude. The singing alone carries the song and Joe Budden is just there cuz his name is currently hot....still a nice joint...

Aw yeah, and ya don't stop

You got you got you got what I NEED!

All in a day's work!!!

Ok, I have this thing where I refuse to go to the restroom that is on the same floor that I work on especially when I feel the need to release some gastrointestinal pressure right? So I'm getting on the elevator to go to my restroom of choice and lo and behold, a co-worker says are you going down to get coffee? Well, I think I do plan to get some coffee after I do what I need to do so I say yeah....and damn if he doesn't come with me. Now I'm all bloated because I couldn't do what I needed to do. The worse part is this same co-worker does this 2 or 3 times a week and I say yes everytime instead of no, I'm going to go do blah blah blah....

NCAA 2004 is the shizzel my bam bizzel

Not feeling the song I'm listening to right now...Kelly Rowland - Stole...somebody needs steal this song .. . . .

Erykah Badu --> Danger...Block on Lock: Don't know how I forgot this joint. The chorus is hella tight and catchy as hell and I don't even know what she's saying....Classic Erykay!

Songs I like right now:

Ginuwine--> Love You more: A hot bassline, sounds incredible with the right headphones on or on the right system...singing is okay but the bass line is no joke

The Transitions --> Ghetto Laws: Funky! That's it plain and simple, just ol school funky!!!

K Ci & JoJo --> Thug N Me Thug N U --> These cats finally got off that gay bullshit they've been trying to pimp since Jodeci broke up....the Tupac intro is hot too....

Okay, please explain how Delta can call me at 9:30 last night, tell me my flight is cancelled because of a mechanical error. I'm in Atlanta, the Delta hub, and they don't have any extra planes lying around??? I mean when a greyhound breaks down, there's spare buses reasonably available. So to shorten the rant, had to take a later flight which means I get to work later which means I leave later which means it's pitch black outside!!

Did anyone happen to notice the tossed salad Miami had to take from VT this past weekend? Oh that was friggin beautiful...just beautiful!!!

Trying out this new freeware called w.bloggar. It has an office like feel so I can be at work and look like I'm working which I am most of the time but when I'm not, I'm really not.....

Playa playa, play on. This article is worth just because of the suit!!ajc.com | Gwinnett | Alleged bigamist wanted by police

You know this blog needs a theme a purpose, something to draw the masses in and brainwash them into thinking as I do.....This may be forever known as the Themelessly Themed Theme Blog

I am getting absolutely nothing at all done today. It's a shame but that's just the kind of day it is. I'm excited to be going home tonite and the day is going entirely too slow and I know if I worked it would go by faster by ability to concentrate has diminished beyond a reasonable level.

Damn, damn, damn.

I think I'm going to go online with the PS2 some time this weekend. I just want to see what it's like.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, can't kill time fast enough!!!!!

Ok, it looks like I may be in Boston even longer....just can't seem to get outta here but I won't leave as long as they'll have me and I don't have a job at home.....I think I'm gonna start going home every weekend though...may make it a little easier on my Fiancee..

What the hell is this shit about?!?!!? CBS.SportsLine.com - Bryant fined for Shaq comments, doubtful for opener

I have one faithful reader....woohoo!!! But then again, I've only told one person about this...so that kinda 'splains it....

Kinda messed up at work today, but a coworker was there to help pull me through...lucky me...

Fanblogs.com

Nice college football discussion area

I really miss Aaliyah. I never realized how many of her songs I liked. She will be greatly missed.

I really miss L-Boogie...it's getting harder being here in Boston because I don't want to be here. I want to be at home with my baby!!

I went to Mohegan Sun Casino last night....didn't do too well, but one of the guys I was with walked out with $2000 and gave a couple of us $100 to stay longer. So needless to say I am sleepy as hell....went to sleep at 4:45 am to get up at 9:30.

I can't wait to go back to the ATL for good....I've had mad fun in Boston this summer and fall but the south is where my heart is.

Can't keep my eyes open.....need sleep...in a bad bad way.....

Nothin big to talk about, severely disappointed in my Hokies splash the other night. That was fucking embarassing....now we need to just get ready for team 8 next weekend.

West Virginia vs Virginia Tech game tomorrow spurred this joke....

You know you're in West Virginia when you go to the State Fair and realize it's just a family reunion...

West Virginia State Motto: We're like family!

West Virginia: 7 million people, 10 last names

Okay, downstairs clean!

So I'm off today and don't really know what to do with myself. I'll start by cleaning the downstairs and making some phone calls...okay ready BREAK!!!

Hypnotize a man

Today is Kobe's trial....

Isn't funny how everyone comes out against Kobe once something bad has happened and suddenly Kobe is the picture boy for all that is wrong in the world?

And isn't it odd that we aren't allowed to know a thing about the alleged victim (known in the press as 'THE VICTIM' because it's already proven that she was the victim of something) but it's completely ok to eradicate Kobe's image, for all intent and purposes, his livelihood without a shred of judgement being made. I understand protecting the alleged victim, but the alleged criminal is also alleged.....and could very well become the true victim should the alleged victim be found to be lying....

But I don't think too many people see that. They see an athlete, a chosen one, whose fairy tale life is now twisting in such a way as to be against the realm of normalcy. And it's a sad sign of our society.....we love to see people fail just as much as we love to see them succeed, if not more.

Man, I have been scarce....but yall know through my blogging history, I show up, then I leave, but I be back again!

Celebrated the third anniversary of my 26th birthday a two weeks ago. Nice times, nice times. I interviewed for a job back at home but it doesn't look like I will get it, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!

Surprise.com gifts - The best gift ideas on the Web

This is kind of cool idea. Help men with the shopping ideas!! Woohoo....

boycott-riaa.com

Fuck the RIAA

Isn't it funny how slang works...it doesn't become popular until white people start saying it. For example, 'ghetto'. I hear young white kids saying ghetto like it's something new....but I was saying that with my roomates back in college so at least 5 years ago and I'm pretty certain it was closer to seven or eight years ago (alcohol affects long term memory).

So Thursday is the third anniversary of my 26th birthday. I'm kind of excited to have another birthday but I don't want to do anything special for it. I'll just enjoy being back in Atlanta, at my house, with my stuff, and my Fiancee....

But of course, friends have different plans....must celebrate....must go out....I've gone out nearly every night for the past three months....I don't feel a need to go out....ever again....

I apologize for not wanting to go out clubbing anymore, I've done it, I was with it at the time, but the time has come that I'm done with it....I get easily annoyed by the crowds, the uneasiness of people staring, the whole culture of it....maybe hiphop killed the club culture for me.....but I just don't feel like living that life....I'm much more the beer commercial kind of guy...that's the life I enjoy right now.....just give me a bar and a couple of good friends, I'm happy....

Why is it so hard to understand that I am a simple man with simple pleasures?

Did I mention the bad week of testing?!!?!?

I have had a bad bad week of coding...no matter what I do, something else fails!!

So this weekend was a grand time. It was my sports weekend in the ATL...watching the controversial Sugar Shane victory, then Sunday, Georgia Dome, Redskins vs Falcons. The Redskins were the last of my favorite teams that I had never seen live and now that is complete...the sports fan in me is satiated!!!! And they won the damn game....ain't that some shit!!

CFPOOL Home Page

More football sites!!!!

I don't feel right...

NCAA Division IA Football Power Ratings

I stumbled across these awesome historical college football ratings and statistics sites. Need to trash talk for your alum...gotta go to these places first...here's another

STASSEN.COM College Football Information

So how exactly does one attract others to his blog so that he has regular readers and comments?

How cool was that that my last two posts were almost an exact hour apart...

Groovy, just groovy....looks like I'll be in Boston for another few weeks....not particularly happy, not particularly mad....but I am going to start going home every other weekend.....sounds like they have plans for me to be here a while....don't know how cool I am with that....

Sports republicans are those media whores that let their opinions of an athletes personal life determine whether they garner professional respect. For example, last night Bill Romanowksi of the Oakland Raiders tackles this guy and in the process the guy doesn't land until he's out of bounds. Immediately, there are folks in my local watering hole saying that should be a penalty because Romanowski is a shitbag for breaking his teammates nose in a scuffle in practice, not a penalty because Romanowski broke any rules, just because he doesn't like him. I proceed to say during the game, the player's on field performance is all that matters....to which this person responds 'Well you're a Kobe fan so I expect that from you'......That's funny/sad because Kobe is innocent until proven guilty or does that not apply to black athletes......I should have said that to this guy but I didn't....I just stopped talking to him because I realized he was a sports republican.....

I realized last night that there are a lot of sports republicans out there. That kind of pisses me off. I'll explain later.

Well, I've been in Boston for three months now on this three week assignment....long enough to dislike someone at work. She's just so freakin' loud and annoying. It's like she needs everyone within fifty feet to hear the bad joke she's about to make. And she can't seem to remember anything correctly.....

Anyway, I refuse to let it bother me. On a different note, I am supposed to be going home for good next week so I am going to work this entire weekend for the extra cash and also so I can make sure everything is finished so that I don't have anything holding me back. It's been fun but it's time to move on.

I want to type something funny but I can't think of anything funny to say.

Why does it seem like women are more attracted to men that are in relationships than they are to ones who aren't? I never was the kind of guy who could pick up a lot of women when I was single. They always thought of me as a friend but never as a sex toy. But now that I'm engaged, they are hitting on me like I'm some kind of, well, sex toy. I don't mind but I sure wish they would have caught up with me back when I was single instead of waiting until I can't touch!!

Ok, I'm heading home, system is down, just wasting time sitting here so I'm gon'

Don't know why I had this thought but where does the blood that fills an erect penis go after the penis is no longer erect.....you would think some other part of your body would swell up or something.....

Redskins Fight Song Hail to theRedskins

Redskins 16 Jets 13....oh what a night!!!

And now, a word from our sponsor.....

cutaneous

Back to you X!!

I am so friggin sleepy today. I can't believe how sleepy I am. I am like sleepier than I was the last time I couldn't believe how sleepy I was....I mean I'm way sleepier than that....

Alas when shall I sleep....not tonite, for there is football to be seen. Perhaps after work, ah but there is a cableman expected at our residence...that man cannot, and shall not be missed.....what to do....drink it off perhaps during the game....can do!!!!

Tonite...is the night....It's the sport of kings, better than diamond rings....{beatbox, beatbox} [high voice] football.......football[/high voice]

I am quite ready for the football season to begin. I've got like eight fantasy teams and I'm just ready to win at least 4 of my leagues....anything less will not be acceptable!

Second Life: Your World. Your Imagination. This seems kind of cool...kinda like the sims but not really....

Rough afternoon....the natives were definitely restless...Barely had time to eat my damn lunch....what are they going to do when I leave.....

Patrick said last night, 'Remember what I said that you didn't hear'

That was funny

I just do not like consulting. It seems so fake. Like the whole professionalism of it seems faked. Give me a task and I'll do it to the best of my abilities but I shouldn't be judged on my corporate lingo....I can bullshit with the best of 'em but I don't like to....If we leverage our current in-house resources while reducing or maintaining our costs, we can sustain long-term growth over several of our markets resulting in . . .. blah blah blah...

Diary of a Nympho. The name itself warrants a looksy.

Homesick, yes that would be me

Live drafts are fun as hell!

I am sleepy. I think I'm catching a cold because the temperature here in Boston dropped like 15 degrees in a like 5 hours....

I'm supposed to be playing some poker tonite but I don't know if I'm going to make it now because I'm doing an online draft that started in hour ago and the first guy still hasn't made his pick. And I don't know if any of the other people are even aware that the draft is going on....

I'm really ready to go home. Boston has been nice and I've met some great folks but it's time for me to move on.

Ahh, the draft has begun....

Did it again....too little sleep, too much drink....need a day off from life!!

I am going home to take my predrink nap....need sleep before alcohol...can't miss out on sleep before alcohol....hmmm alcohol...and sleep....and fun dips!!!

Stayed out entirely too late last night....very sleepy....oh so sleepy....

Actually no it's not that hard...I'm a smart guy

You know I just keep getting kudos for my work here so I can't help but wonder how it is that I got laid off. Because I don't really think I've done anything spectacular here but the praise just never stops....or maybe I'm struggling with modesty.....it's hard to be arrogant and modest all in the same head....

Just finished reading 'Anyone You Want Me To Be: The story of the first Internet Serial Killer'. Pretty interesting book. I would recommend it.....

I am . . . . . . .a pea pod floatin in congealed soup....eat me please
I am . . . . . . .an alpha-bit drownin in a bowl of soggy frosted flakes . . . . .eat me please

See I'm just impressing you Hope....

Hope and friends are reading this.....

Hope is reading this, Hope is reading this ;)

System is slow....so very slow......that can't be good.....or can it? If the system were fast I wouldn't have time to blog....so in its slowness now exists an opportunity for spontaneous creativity.....I will keep typing until the window is ready for me to continue working....Nothing much to say....but will think of something....Oh I came up with a witty little saying yesterday...wanna hear it??? Okay here goes

If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, forget about it I already thought of that.

Pretty clever heh? Heh??? Not particularly useful but definitely clever!!

I was just reading some of my older blogs and realized how funny I am. But that could be because I wrote them and I want them to be funny oh so bad.....

I guess an update is in order. I really should be working right now but I just don't have the motivation. We had a crisis this morning that I stepped up to and helped out but now I just want to blog a little. Oh, I was supposed to be giving an update. Well, I started working for Boston College on June 2. Nice job, nice pay, they could've helped out a little bit with the living arrangements. Anway, I've gone home a few times but since my rate is inclusive, I have to pay my own expenses so I limit the trips back and forth. I am hanging out at this place called the Avenue, know all the waitresses, door guys, management, owners...etc.

I should work now....be back later....

I've found them....

I've managed to lose quite a bit of my posts....go figure...

Having mad issues

Ok, I just found a previous website of mine that is still in existence so I will be using that one for blogging until I move to my ISP provided, ad free space. Which may never happen....

CBS.SportsLine.com - Report: Van Exel dealt for Jamison in 8-player trade
I have trouble believing this one. But I guess it makes sense. I just think Van Exel was a saviour for the Mavs on more than one occasion....

Testing a post to my slowly-being-constructed website.

Still no job. But I am trying to keep my head up for the most part. I am going to try a new approach as opposed to all these webboards. I would tell you what the approach is except that you would then know and may take a job I would have gotten if I hadn't told you about my new approach.

The real reason they let me go is because I was about to vest and the company has a history of letting folks go right before they vest. They are a pretty low dow bunch when it's all said and done.

Got laid off on the 24th of April due to downsizing. It's a bunch of bullshit if you ask me since I was the only person on the team who could develop in all of our major systems. They had the nerve to tel me that they couldn't afford me and I was the lowest paid member on the team.

8 minutes of processing.....bad results....ain't that a bitch!

And after 6 minutes the query is still not done so you get to have more of my expinionated expinions elaborated on live and in black text.

I am able to get away with murder now that I proposed to L-Boogie
BEFORE
X: Hey babe, I'm thinking of going to the bar to watch the game tonite...
L-Boogie: Is it on TV?
X: Uh yeah....
L-Boogie: So why do you need to go to the bar to watch it?
X: Uh, no reason, just thought that I would...
L-Boogie(mumbling): Fine, go then!

NOW
X: hey babe, I'm thinking of going to the bar to watch the game tonite...
L-Boogie: Okay honey, see ya when you get home

All because of the diamond, oh yeah, I got it made for another couple of weeks before the newness wears off....

I waiting for a SQL statement to finish running so maybe I will just sit here and ramble and see if it turns out funny or at the very least interesting enough for you to be unaware that I am trying to write the longest run on sentence in a blog that is not about run on sentences in any form or fashion, not even in European fashion is there a special faction about run on sentences that actually have a flowing train of thought as opposed to saying something that makes little to no sense to anyone who may be reading or having this blog read to them because they are unable to read which isn't a bad thing given the level of dignity in the media with their drama king/queen tactics and skewed views on the current events that shape our lives and our minds which are exposed to these deadly viruses known as reporters on a daily if not hourly basis which tends to be a little overkill when you think about it because news is only news the first time you hear it after which it becomes history.

Well faithful readers, I have nothing newsworthy to tell you on this day. I know I haven't shown the engagement ring on the site yet but I haven't had time. Being lazy is time consuming....

Being the Lakers fan that I am, I couldn't ignore this website

I'm getting tired of telling the story now!! How did you propose? Did she cry? Did you cry? When is the wedding? Gee-wiz!!

I did it. Took the deep plunge. I now have a fiance....it's weird saying it...fiance (say it slowly like in the movies when they say something slow)...

Another excellent championship game last night. Sitting in a field of Orange and White Tennessee fans, me and L-Boogie cheered the Connecticut Huskies to their second straight Womens National championship. Anyone who says women athletes are inferior or not as fun to watch are crazy as hell. That was one of the best times I've had a sporting event. The fans were die-hard, the players were fantastic, and the atmosphere was unbelievable. Great game, great time, and I will be there the next time the final four comes to atlanta.

In other news, I have pictures of the ring that I need to put up so you guys can see. I'm proposing tonite at dinner. I'll let you know how it goes. The way I figure, I'm in a win-win situation. If she says yes, I have a fiance. If she says no, I have a receipt and I can get my money back.....no worries!

Well the ring has arrived and I will try to put a picture up for you guys as soon as possible. Whoops, there I go again assuming someone other than myself reads this.

I often want to tell people to read my blog but then I can't remember if I said anything about them. I pretty much can't tell anyone at work to read it because they would immediately know who I was talking about. Too risky, especially since I have that ring to pay for now. Before I could lose my job, take some (god willing) severance pay, and find something else. But now I need to hold on to the jobby job a little tighter!

Hello faithful readers, I hope both of you had a good weekend. I managed to get some tickets to the Final Four this weekend, the women's final four but it's still the final four. The games last night were excellent and I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's Uconn/Tenn matchup. I am sitting 3 rows and to the left of the band...yep floor seats for the final four!! Not to mention directly behind the cheerleaders!

Well, I received a call today from L-Boogie's other aunt. Apparently, the engagement ring is being fedex'd to me today. I should receive the package either tomorrow or Wednesday I'm assuming. I think I am just going to right her a poem (I do write poetry you know, search for Xavier E Davis), take her to a restaurant she's been wanting to try and then pop the question some time in there. She's so ready to get married I want to just give it to her while we're watching TV and say 'Here, take it. will ya leave me alone now." Now I just have to come up with the poem. Or maybe I should try to arrange it so I can ask her at the national championship game tomorrow night. Yeah right. She would say yes but I don't think she would like it as much as she would if it were a personal, intimate proposal.

Tangent. I always feel like I never have enough time. I mean, tonite I wanted to play some Madden, do some websurfing, and maybe some other things but it's already 10:30 and I haven't done jack! I wanted to do this stuff tonite because I'll be at the game tomorrow night so I won't get a chance and Wednesday night I may very well be proposing to L-Boogie! Time oh time, why do you elude me.

I've been thinking about why it doesn't seem like anyone ever reads my blog. Is it promotion? Or am I just boring? Sound off...let me know. Oh wait, I would need constant readers for that wouldn't I? Hmm..conundrum....

La ti da la ti da. Another beautiful day here in Atlanta. I should be out washing my Durango, then playing a little hoops, and finishing up with a beer and a book on the patio.....but no. I'm at the 9 to 5 trying to make a living. Isn't that ironic? They call working making a living when it's the least part of living when you look at the grand scheme of things. My greatest memories, when I feel most alive, usually have nothing at all to do with work.....ON that same note, I hate when someone asks me what I do when they really mean what's your job. I mean I do a lot of things. I blog, I play, I write poetry, I do all kinds of things...but they're not interested in that...they want to try to get a feel for monetary situation, see if I can afford the next round of beers, determine what part of the middle class world I inhabit....slugs!!

Lately, it's like i have two managers. One who micromanages and one who doesn't. the one who micro-manages is the one that is not officially my manager. Which makes it hard to swallow the micro-management. I have only been micro-managed once before and it annoyed the fuck out of me, much like it does now. Okay, I just wanted to get that out...there's really nothing left to this...

I told my parents (well my mom, who'll tell my dad) 30 minutes ago about purchasing the engagement ring for the girlfriend. Now I have to figure out how to propose...I would ask for ideas but I don't get too many comments on here unless I explicitly ask for them....which I guess is what I'm kinda doing now...

Pretty boring weekends always lead to lousy mondays....

I think I may have figured my problem out!! Woo Hoo, soon it will be time to drink my liver away!!

What is it about Fridays that make it so incredibly hard to masturbate....I mean concentrate?? I have been at work on the same problem for hours now and my every third thought has to do with what I am actually doing......

I know I know. I should add all these links to like the side instead of randomly throughout my messages. Well, I'm lazy and don't feel like it!

I do highly suggest visiting the 'This is ugly fat kid' site. He's kind of funny in a I can't believe someone has this much time to think about these things kind of way.

My stomach hurts.....ate too much.....I had last night's hamburger helper leftovers, a couple bites of a couple slices of bread, and close to a pound and a half of canteloupe which I think is what did it. But the sugary sweet juice captivated me to no end....and I just kept putting more in my mouth....couldn't stop....want more now....but I'm too lazy to go get anymore. So I'll just have to enjoy my French Vanilla Cafe.....nothing like vanilla scented coffee breath....

this is uglyfatid | uglyfatkid is this

Just had a morbid thought, morbid to me anyway....what if I lost my job???

So what's the deal? Not a whole lot going on today. Went to work, left work, came home, ate dinner, took the girlfriend to get ice cream, and now I'm here. The girlfriend has gone to sleep and I'm kind of bored. I almost feel like being productive but just can't bring myself to do anything. I'm tired but not sleepy, restless but not energetic, horny but not having sex....oops didn't mean to say that last one out loud.

This probably sounds horrible but I'm really tired of the war coverage now. I don't understand why the media is allowed to show so much. It seems counterproductive to me to have the media be right there with live photos an footage of war.

I am so bored.....so very bored.

Iraq Body Count | BACKGROUND - A different look at the War on Iraq.

Why do the academy awards need to have two names, the Academy awards and the Oscars. Yeah, I know Oscar is the name of the trophy but that still doesn't make sense. I mean, the fact that trophy awarded for the Super Bowl is called the Vince Lombardi trophy doesn't lead us to calling the Super Bowl by another name...

Why doesn't my blog ever show up on the most recently published blogs?!?! I think I'm being left out intentionally, they don't want the world to hear me opine, 'cause once you heard it, you can't get enough of it. That last line was supposed to come out a little catchier than that....

Okay, so now I've done it. I've taken a loan out of my 401k so I could buy the ol' lady an engagement ring. 1.21 carats, princess cut solitaire, in a platinum setting. She better like it or I will cut her. Or better yet, I'll take it back ;). And get it appraised and sell it if I can make a dime.

But anyway it's friday and I should be off to my drinking problem....just jokes, I think I've mentioned before that I don't have a drinking problem, it's just something I say. I just .. . . .actually I had nothing to say at that moment, my bad.

Why does the guy always have to pay for dinner too? Why should I pay for a dinner at a place I don't like, for a dinner that you organized, to eat with your friends? What the fuck

I am in a very combative, pissy mood today. Very anti-establishment too. I cannot stand the way this society is. I have a lot of anger in me right now and I don't like having it but I don't have a choice. Somehow, we always spend more money than we have but somehow we rarely have anything to show for it.....How can two people spend 215 bucks on groceries.....I used to spend 40 bucks a month by myself and we're spending on average 175 every three weeks, and I swear our fridge is never, ever overflowing with food. What the hell are we gonna do when we have kids? Hell, when we do fucking cook we barely have left overs so what the hell are the kids supposed to eat.

You know it seems to me that every 'step' in life is a little bit worse. You leave high school to go to college: great time, but your parents are slowly weaning you off of them.
You leave college for the real world: You're an adult now, but the real isn't really all its cracked up to be. You meet someone: Great companionship, less freedom.
Marriage: Society's ever so important life status is met, you lose even more freedom (and will power). You have kids: Your progeny, but what's left of your former lifestyle is gone....forever....or at least 18 years.

And why does society seem so surprised when there are people who would rather not go through the traditional life cycle. Furthermore, why does the government reward people for going through the traditional lifecycle via tax breaks and shit. Hell, if I decide to not have children, I would think I should pay less in taxes since I'm not using as much shit. But I have to pay so your little Susie can go to the Library. Little Susie needs to get a damn job and start paying her own way around here so she can go to the bookstore and buy the book therefore helping the economy.

I'm done for now but I am seriously tired of never having any money. I don't remember the last time I went out and spent on myself carefreee.....and now I'm supposed to be trying to be the girlfriend an eight thousand dollar ring.....what the fuck....

I'm sick and tired of being broke. I need to do one of two things a) Find a second job that I like, or b) Find a new 1st job altogether. They will never pay me the type of money I deserve here though I've worked for 5 years for less than anyone else on my team. I wouldn't mind if I did less as well but that's just not the case. This place is shady in so many ways I can't even describe it.....

Alright, time to go home, cook a create a meal or whatever it's called. Then go out to my local watering hole, though I'm broke as hell, and have a couple of brewskis while I watch the game!!! Life is good!!

Very productive work day yesterday. I seemed to be in a zone with what I was doing and it all made sense.....that's a rare occurrence nowadays.....

Angry Naked Pat: Ice Cream Fantastic Go here if only for the Super Bowl is Gay song!!

Verisimilitude: Sometimes The Truth Hurts

Broken Newz - The internet's best source for satire news - Parody Smarody Another userful dose of humor in an all too serious world!!

I have to lead a class today on Javascript and I hate talking in front of people....this sucks....

The Best Page In The Universe. Go to this site. He's kinda funny in a funny kinda way....

Gotta go read now...read and smoke, that's what I do at night around this time....yep

A decent weekend was had. Friday I watched the Lakers get embarassed up at Jeffrey's. Actually got to meet Jeffrey and his wife. They seem like good enough people. Saturday, I lounged around all day and then went to the Pie to catch the Roy Jones fight. Roy Jones did what I thought he would. Tonite I hung out at Jeffrey's for a little while and got addicted to the bar video game thingy.....great, that's what I need...another addiction.

I've got tomorrow off!!! Strip clubs and Lakers game all day for me!!!

Just a suggestion...if you like BBQ potato chips, you gotta try the Wise Smoky Mountain BBQ chips....good stuff!!

lalalalalala

Just felt like I had to say something

I'm just a blogging maniac today.... maniac maniac

Don't ya hate when you can't figure something out but you know you're on the cusp of figuring it out but it still eludes you like a period at the end of a run on sentence???

Why am I so easily addicted to video games? I could sit around and play Madden all day if it weren't for my job, girlfriend, house, and general responsibilities.....

Why is my attention span so short? I have tons of work to do but lack any kind of motivation to do it. I could have so much done if I would just apply myself just a wee bit. I think it's partly because I'm a procrastinator at heart. Why do what you want to do later when you could easily do it now and why do what you don't want to do now when it can be done in a frenzied rush later?!?!

Okay, it's the start of another rainy weekend here in (yeah right) hotlanta....So much for washing the truck. Throwing a party this weekend for the Tyson fight....it's really just an excuse to show friends my new house. We live kinda far out so people can't really just stop by; actually they should probably pack a snack if they are coming to visit us..

Nobody reads this but still I opine. Nothing much to really talk about today. It's been raining for a couple of days and has really spoiled my shine. But I will persevere because I get to drink tonite, yep drinkin X, that's who I'll be. Don't get it twisted, I'm not a drunk. I mean I don't go to meetings or anything so I don't have a problem. And why do they say denial is the first sign of a problem. Like, if I said yeah I am an alcoholic does that mean I don't have a problem. I can I'm not gay, does that mean I'm gay?? Well, I'm not confused....

Isn't weird how big and bad people get when they are on the internet? They feel like they can talk shit to anybody and this makes them a big man to be feared. I wonder what these people's home life is like. Is this their way to boost their self esteem? On one hand, I think it's pretty sad that a person would need to boost their self esteem by becoming an anonymous username on the internet and talking trash. On the other hand, I think it's funny as hell because some people are so easily satisfied. Every now again, one of them gets to me, not for very long, but long enough for me to show them I can be a smart ass too. But I don't want to be sucked into their game too far so I generally stop conversing with them. You know Jab and Juke, get my shots in, move on.....can you tell I'm really bored today?

Shortly after my last blog, I had a seizure....no joke. But I'm fine now. Had a good holiday. Getting tired of people asking me if I'm ok but I know it's just because they care.
