I went on a bike trail the other day. We only did 13-14 miles, but it was nice to feel active again. I've been jamming with the crew too. Even getting some pretty damn good grooves out there and there too. Also, I'm about to start training for a new job field. It may be a little harder to find a job, but it pays much better. I feel like I'm on the edge of great things here. Where's the catch? Something usually goes all to hell about here, so I'm holding my breath to see what happens. You never know, maybe not. But life is usually pretty cyclical.

[Nov. 26th, 2008|07:14 pm] |
Was that necessary, at all? No. I just want to live my life, without you, happy and away from you. Don't send me random messages spewing hatred, and rubbing shit in my face. If I wasn't superstitious, I'd wish ill on you. The only person I've ill-wished in my adult life lost a leg. Fuck you, you deserve what you get.

Kinda like a cloud I was up way up in the sky
And I was feeling some feelings you wouldn't believe
Sometimes I don't believe them myself
And I decided I was never coming down
Just then a tiny little dot
Caught my eye it was just about, just about too small to see
But I watched it way too long
It was pulling me down
Shut up!
So what, what does it matter now?
I was swimming in the haze now I crawl on the ground
And everything I never liked about you is kinda seeping into me
Try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything works out
'I guess the joke's on me,' she said
I was up above it
Now I'm down in it
I used to be so big and strong!
I used to know my right from wrong!
I used to never be afraid!
I used to be somebody!
I used to have something inside!
Now just this whole that's open wide!
I used to want it all!
I used to be somebody..
I'll cross my heart I'll hope to die
But the needle's already in my eye
And all the world's weight is on my back
And I don't even know why
What I used to think was me
Is just a fading memory
I looked [you] right in the eye and said 'Goodbye'
I was up above it
Now I'm down in it

So I move out to Chuluota in about 36 hours. Middle of nowhere. It's expensive, really nice, and quite isolating. It's a sudden, drastic change. It's amazing how fast things can change. For the first time though, I'm looking forward into this whole thing, and I'm scared. Change doesn't scare me. I embrace it. But something about this all seems so much more serious than previous transitions. I have no idea why, or what it is that's standing out to me. I need to let it be, and relax. I'm usually the expert on that.
Where are you? |

For those of you who read this, I want to travel. I might as well take advantage of the fact that I get roughly 50 mpg [city], and that there are Starbucks' everywhere. I want to spend a day or two working somewhere else. Experiencing life somewhere else. How have I stayed couped up here so long? I don't really think I can be content, in any manner, until I begin to find out. I want to go experience life before it's over. Don't you?
Sshhh.....half the fun is dissappearing... |

I moved out yesterday, and I'm over at Samantha's house right now gettng the last of my stuff. I still have to go to Target to get some things I've forgotten, and I'm sure it won't be the last trip. I should be taking the computer with me today, so no more e-mail, LiveJournal, or Myspace for a little while. If anyone needs me, you should know my number.
Ok, I'm off to go buy a new eyebrow ring for Starbucks [a clear one], and other misc. stuff. I'll catch you around...

Parting thought...I wish I had something profound to say at this time. Instead, I leave you with this: Life is too short so love the one you got, 'cause you might get run over, or you might get shot. |

So last monday started a very bad week for me. I had to peel off my window tint, which you all know was the freaking deal and it was a parting gift [the non-explosive kind] from Zach Settle, to avoid repeatedly getting ticketed by a cop who now stakes out my neighborhood. Whatever, stuff happens.
Tuesday, Wed., no big problems here. Thursday and Friday I had to take off work, which means smaller paycheck. I had to take those days off b/c Thursday I had my wisdom teeth pulled. Very painful, very expensive. I couldn't eat, but I had to take my pain medication or I was going to scream. Don't ever take pain killers on an empty stomach. Shope was taking me to Taryn's photo exibit thing, when I suddenly started to feel really sick. Then I went blind. Then he pulled over, I puked, and he took me to my Mom's house. Ok, life moves on.
Saturday I finally got to meet Rachel's Dad. We drove out to Orange City where he lives, and all of us had dinner at this nice out-doorsy down-south-Florida type bar-and-grill. It took about an hour for us to finally get a seat, and then forever for us to get our food. Whatever, the food was really good. Well, we're ready to leave and guess what? Someone shattered my passenger window and broke into Snoopy. They stole my amp, broke the center-console area around the stereo [then left the stereo there?], Stole all of my cd's [about 250 of them] and stole all of my paperwork that I kept in car. My tax papers, pay-stubs, etc. Some of which had very personal information, such as my Social Security number. Ok, I'm really getting tired of this shit now.
So today hopefully marks a new week, even though since last week's horror started on Monday, today could go just as bad.

So I just went on a small shopping spree at newegg.com, and bought these things:
New Motherboard: 4 dual-channel ddr400 ram slots, Nvidia nForce2 chipset, Gigabit ethernet, 4 ATA slots [up to 8 devices, instead of four], 6-channel audio, and a bunch of other stuff I won't bore you with.
Heatsink: It's really quiet, and cools my AMD a bit more.
Case: Seven case fans [four front, two side, one rear], pretty side window, enough slots to hold all of my drives, and it's solid steel [not best for heat, but I can drop it and not warp the frame]
Mouse: Yes, a very simple upgrade, but none-the-less..850-dpi, and FANS. Fans, to keep my hand cool. Freaking-A.
I'll post pics and stats of the completed project once I get it up and running.

For those that have been out of the loop, I recently modded two XBoxes. A v1.1 and a v1.6 [requires a rebuild of some the main board, much fun]. B3rt just chipped his yesterday with the X3, which has extras you can buy to make it prettier, such as an LCD screen. I am also going to be modding Nick Lamberth's XBox very soon, whenever I get it from him actually. I know most people don't care, or have already known these things, so on to the next subject..
I am currently looking for an AWD set-up to buy for Snoopy. As soon as I find it, I'm buying it. Next step is off-road tires, and a small lift. The lift/tires might wait a litle longer. Snoop will kill. Way kill.

Parting thought.. I "upped" my prescription today. It is now as follows: Half cinnamon/half gingerbread vente latte with a quadruple shot and no foam. If you're not a coffee/tea drinker, do not try to take one of these beasts down. |

That's right. I rolled over my tripometer last night, after setting it just before hitting the highways early that same morning. How? If you asked that question, you are out of the loop, man.
I took a trip with Rachel and Maximus to visit Zach in Pensacola. We made the trip in about five hours there, like 6 back. The extra hour was because we couldn't find our directions on the way back. So we got lost on the base, almost lost in the town [again], and of course got lost on the highway. For those interested, here's the directions we were going off of.
And for those who knew Zach, he's doing well up there. He just got moved from one base to another, and the new one apparently sucks. But he seems to be getting along well enough up there. We should be going up to visit again some time not too far away.

So, being the healthy eating person that I am, I just had a bowl of WHOLE GRAIN Cocoa Puffs. That's right, Cocoa Puffs made with whole grain. The box says that it still tastes "chocolately" and "great". The box also says, although in smaller letters, that the sugar has been reduced from 14g per serving, to 3g. 75% less sugar they brag. Oh, and way in the bottom corner, they tell you that they now use Splenda to sweeten it. I found all of these things out while reading the box, trying to figure out why my beloved cereal tasted like CRAP.
It was like eating Rice Crispies only bigger, and without flavor. And the chocolately milk that's always left when your done, so you can then drink chocolate milk to top off your oh so sweet Puffs, is also gone. The cereal no longer turns your milk into chocolate milk. This "Whole Grain" thing seriously sucks.

Vt was awesome, I really needed a break. I got to shoot big, powerful guns, play bass in an actual recording studio, drive a really nice snowmobile [145 hp, 500 lbs], ride the four-wheeler all over the massive property, and I got toys to take home. Like my new Ibanez 5-string bass. Or my 125 watt bass amp. Or the 1967 Gretsch Country Gentleman hollow-body guitar. Or an original cry-baby wah-wah pedal. Or a really nice digital camera [supposed to be Mum's, but she already had one]. Freakin' A.
Anyway, now I'm back. I'm taking Saturday nights off from now on hopefully, so I can get to see you all more regularly. Yes, that would be nice. But for now, it's time for me to go to work. G'day, I'll see you all later.

So everyone else is leaving for Christmas Camp today, in just a few hours. I really do hope that everyone has a great time, no body gets hurt, and that your new-year's is awesome [it always is]. I want to hear about the talent show, Communists and Christians, and all of the board-walk romance :-)
On my side of this, my flight leaves New Year's morning, so I'll be at the airport at 0500hrs while you all should still be asleep. I will be on a plane heading to Washington DC, then on another to Vermont an hour after that. Wish me luck in Vermont, it's.....27 degrees. Holy crap, that's the warmest it's been since I planned this trip. The second warmest being 19, the average being about 3. It's really friggin' cold. Maybe I'll write a poem, for all of you RvBer's. Also, my Grandpa is a survivalist, so it's going to be crazy with no electricity, heater, etc.
I'll miss you guys. You really don't know how boring the next few days are going to be, and Vermont will probably be just as boring, save the occasional hunt or visit to the neighbors the sound studio. I'll post about all of the excitement when I get back.
-Joe
Parting thought... I've got nothing clever today, sorry. |
