Lunch, Ruby on Rails, Yaris?

Well today I had lunch with 2 buds, namely Adam and Scott, good gents, was nice to hang out, eat some food at our local haunt (Kosmos) and afterwards kind of give Scott the 411 on my exsistance since High School - a fun day, just had a odd start (woke up at 4:30am prayin for a friend) and a long day kinda feeling “eh” all day, but it was a blessed day in the end, a new client, 2 yesterday, and had some fun at 7 Steps Fitness working on their wireless (getting flooded with some obscure TCP traffic which I think is choking the router… still watching logs), and performed a small con, which was really kind of silly, but fun.

God is truly good. I am not a perfect person, by no means, if only people knew all my faults - I am just trying my best like everyone else out there - I may not be a good friend always, or a good son, or a good brother, but I do my best when I can, and hey, it all works out, God Blesses - I am truly blessed, even when I am down and out, he gives me some joy in my day to brighten up my day.
Which led to this evening, enjoying the Ruby book, constructs are so simple, the base framework that Ruby creates, wow - time saver, granted as the author notes, it is not always the complete task, but sometimes for a dirty backend it’s base code does the job, and it’s very true - a neat code system, and I read the section on using sessions - and the example app it’s walking through is exactly what my end result is, granted I have different ideas in mind already in this stage, but by the book’s end I am sure it’ll evolve.

Car shopping is offically on, I chatted with the local Toyota dealer about a Yaris, but apparently, he was only a office geek, and passed on my request for a Yaris Sedan with 5 Speed to the sales team and someone is going to email me - so I may be off to test drive a car here this next week, be nice to have some new wheels, and above everything else, a car I can take to the carwash, without getting dripped on lol (sunroof in the neon leaks).

But a busy, crazy, blessed day, but I do have a prayer request, and I know it’s ~11pm, and most folks are off doing stuff, but pray for Rosie. I’d give more details, but it’s a lot of personal stuff, just crazy, and then throw in a friend’s wedding she is going to tomorrow, and doing the mother of the bride’s hair, and such, so she’s got a lot on her plate, and a lot of things on her heart as well, but she could definately use any and all prayers you can throw up for her.

Thanks as always for reading/visiting to my ramblings. Night.
