Something Somewhere Sometime
Just before I was about to leave Vancouver, I noticed my laptop acting up. While I normally handle such issues easily, this time it was a sign of impending doom. The video card failed the day before I was supposed to fly to Chicago, putting a wrench in my plans as the gig I was…

Rambling
Yesterday was a great day. Started out with an awesome ride into the office. The ride isn’t the same as the ride I used to have in Seattle. What used to be a 4.5k ride from my place in Seattle to my office is now a 9.8k ride from my home to my office in…

Holidays 2008 – post production report
The 2008 holidays began with the necessity of buying new tires for my car. It was an expense I hadn’t planned for until after the New Year, but as the saying goes, “Life is what happens while you’re making other plans.” So, I accepted the fact that I had to put $900 into the car.…

Water
I went swimming tonight at a friends place. It’s the first time I’ve been in the water since I went to Hawaii with S. I realized over the last few months I’ve been getting more and more uptight. I couldn’t put my finger on it until tonight while I was swimming laps. I’ve been missing…

Mushy in the middle
In an effort to get in better shape and to combat the high gas prices I’ve recently decided to start riding to work. It’s good exercise and it’s actually a nice ride. The route takes me past some nice little sights, the Fremont bridge, some nice marinas (something I’ve taken a more active interest in…

The sickness within
I’ve been home for the last three days, I only managed to get enough energy to venture out yesterday to pick up some more NyQuil and more juice, other then that I’m going slightly stir crazy. I have some form of a virus that my nephew gave to me when we all met up at…

Boredom
I’ve been trying to be better about posting something at least once every couple of days just to get in the habit of writing again. Something in my mind is telling me I need to dust off these skills and get ready to use them again. My mind has wandered back to the single idea…

Open letter to my friends
I’ll freely admit that people who are happy around me unfortunately are getting the brunt of my unhappiness recently. I make no excuses for my behavior, as it would sound insincere. I will just say this, if you’re happy then you deserve to be, and anything a bitter old man like myself would or could…
