that’s about it, for real. spent all day at work, now i’m tired. gonna bust some ass tomorrow though, because im sick of people not doing shit.

southpark style

i have peacock to thank for this one. its a jenkins southpark character. click on the picture to make your own.

anyway. worked my ass off today. we were busy as shit. but at the same time, it was a blast. me, brett, ken, and mike were all being funny as shit while we were trying to get 2500 people in and out in an hour and a half. i think i figured out that we got screwed really bad on this special event — we calculated prices just enough to cover cost, and i dont think we’re going to see a dime of it. oh well, we’ll get it figured out. if nothing else, i’ll get a t-shirt out of it.

im thinking about hitting sandstone in september now. i know that it will be the 5th time i’ve seen dmb this year, but im thinking about trying to pull it off. we’ll see what happens, i need to find tickets and wait for laura to make a school schedule first.

i ordered bela fleck and the flecktones ‘live at the quick’ dvd today. it’s from 2000, and it’s got about 6 different guests on it. should be here by wednesday — good shit. expect a full review.

so im to the point right now that i’m not sure what i want to do with my life anymore. i know i want to finish up this degree i’m working on if for no other reason than to have something to show for the last 4 years. but i dont know if this is what i want. i know i’m not really too keen on being a restaruant manager for the rest of my working life, and thats about it. im open to anything. i’ve been thinking about accounting, economics, all kinds of stuff. but all i know is that i enjoy working with computers. it’s a hobby of mine. i dont know that i want to do that for a living anymore because i know that i’ll get a job, i’ll wind up hating it because i do it 40 hours a week, and then i wont enjoy it anymore.

kind of the same reason i won’t take guitar lessons. i enjoy playing, and it’s an emotional release for me, and i dont feel like anyone should be telling me how i should or shouldnt play.

and THAT is why i’m not a rockstar.

holy crap.

i was going to post an update on here a few days ago, and then i decided for whatever reason to just wait a few more days and make it an even month since the last update. needless to say, i fucked that up too, because a month would have been yesterday.

version 3.0
———-
so, once again, i’ve almost finished a design for the v3.0, and scrapped it in lieu of something better last minute. this is the third, maybe fourth, time i’ve done this with version 3.0. it’s getting old. i think that i might finish this one up just in time for the fall/winter season. with any luck, i’ll have my shit together with this new design so that changing it across the entire site will only take, say, 5 minutes. but all you folks using an out-of-date netscape? you’re fucked. (theres only like 2 of you, according to my stats — netscape sucks anyway.) so i think im going to use one of the designs i’ve scrapped as a starting point for laura’s site, which she has decided to have me design.

random shit
———–
i’d like to throw out some serious good vibes to a friend of mine who doged a serious bullet. you know who you are — congrats. now get your shit together. :)

work stuff
———-
so i made the move back to lakeside this month. it’s not bad, contrary to popular belief, and im actually pretty happy there. i’m thinking that was a good move all around. and, believe it or not, that’s all i’ve got to say about work for a change. :)

school
——
im finally getting around to registering for next semester. i’ve got three classes so far (9 hours), and im looking for one more class (3 hours.) i was looking at my degree audit today, and realized that im almost done with college. i’ve got 2 international studies classes, 1 natural science (no lab, just lecture), and about 6 business classes left, and then i graduate. holy crapola, that’s scary. im going to start taking this school shit seriously, because i’d like to get a real job eventually. tentatively, graduation is slated for may ‘04.

—————-

damn. now i’ve been sitting here for a while typing, and i cant remember what else i wanted to say.

bummer.

oh well. im going to bed. got a rough one coming up tomorrow.
