It’s offical….

I am now 25 years old, apparently the primary perk is I get my car insurance lowered? One can hope ;)

Digital Camera vs. Bed

Well today I came to a choice - it was getting a bed to sleep on (a good thing) or spending that money on a new Digital Camera for my sister’s wedding.

So which did I pick? Well as of late, I enjoy sleep ;) So with the new room coming nicely (roof to be painted this week) I am pushing forward with that - but the digital camera is still a “hope” if funds come to me before the wedding and there is enough time for shipping - but in the week or two that is coming up - after gym time, I am sure a bed will be very very handy!

Speaking of the gym, went awesome, guy says with my body type I can stand to loose a lot of weight, and he can help even out my muscle mass I have already - Monday (the big 25) I go in to do some time on the mill alone I think, but I also get my diet, and a basic workout plan - which indeed is very cool - I would like to get one of these (http://www.xtrememac.com/ipodgear/sportwrap.shtml) for the gym, be nice to listen to tunes, and have it snug on my arm as I am tredmillin or doing weights.

All in all though, this weekend didn’t pan out entirely as I hoped, but sometimes God has a different time table of things, we don’t always understand why, but hey He’s God ;) CMC isnt going live with its new backend :( kinda bums me out, but this does allow more fine tuning before going entirely live, but it loooks so awesome, things load up fast, the software runs smooth, just a few generation glitches in the move, one area isn’t calculating dates properly, the artist database didn’t move over smoothly, so - going to write up a few apps this week, and get it online this next weekend (Lord willing!)

Well a busy night ahead, going to start some code work on the Artist database, then its onto finishing up a few preps for Birthday suprises :)

G’night

Gym Clothing



I have been searching for some good gear to wear - since I am going to try to go 3 times a week to the gym, at least 2 for sure, but if I can squeeze in 3 that is my plan - but I needed some new gear, so these three have been added to my wishlist on ThinkGeek - my mom already hooked me up with a early birthday present of some good shorts and a few comfy plain shirts - but you know gotta mix it up a little ;)

people are insane

its nearly 1:30am.. why am I still up? chatting, and relaxing. Next 2 days are BUSY BUSY BUSY - and since I am not getting a Friday off, I am resting up now and having some fun - one instance of fun was talking to a crazy guy who claims he is going to sue a website since his wife was banned from their forum lol - simply amazing, why not say “Okay, their dorks” and move onto another forum, only what 10billion to choose from?

But such is life, people put waaaaay to much effort into silly things. For instance there’s this guy who was setting up sftp and walked away only to have is ip blocked.. wait it gets good, he asked his friend to please unblock the IP so once again he could do it - but the friend has been tired and hasn’t done it yet - but its on my list of things for tommorow - so at work you’ll get to play once again! :) (gmail me just in case) lol

Motivational Speaker?

One thing I seem to find myself doing in business a lot - especially when it comes to other people doing hosting / design is talking about new ideas for their business, pointing in a new direction that could enhance productivity, increase profits, and make some free time for life, family, etc. Today I found myself writing a email to a client/reseller who was giving himself a pity party that he was a one man show - and I reminded him so was I, granted I do have a support of great friends, who pray for me, and check in on me, but on some projects it is just me - but just encouraged him to look at hosting/design work he does to decide if it is something he really feels he can do or wants to do - as he has several other areas of his business which do very well.

Man I am beat!

The weekend is starting to catch up with me - but throw in a early day starting way to early from my norm, and a meeting not planned, several phone calls, etc. That sums up to a very tired chuck!

Some good news/cool news dept. I got the gig at the Gym offically now - the owners both have offically give me their thumbs up! The husband (who I met with today) basically scheduled me for my first training, and I am “offically” a member! Not for a month, not for 3 months, not even a year…. 2 years! It is very cool indeed, and they are going to help me form a diet, exercise regiment, etc. so I do plan to take a chuck “Before” and chuck “After” photo to see how much of a change there is - while I know my body type and I tend to bulk up - they seem to think they can lean and even my muscle, plus with diet take off a few inches.

So needless to say I am pretty pumped! And on top of that with work kinda heavy for a few months to be able to goto the gym and burn off some excess energy - should get a semi-normal sleep pattern.

Anywhoo, I am gonna go crash out I think, or at the very least spend some time in the word.
