Forced Writing Random Thoughts

with one comment

Hmm, what to write about? This post is totally forced. Well, I’ve been recording and playing guitar a lot more (not producing anything worthwhile, of course). Lost began again. And I’ve rearranged my bedroom. The old setup wasn’t conducive to recording, not enough floor space.

It’s nearly May. Wow.

This game is totally addicting (probably because it’s not real money). And speaking of that, I’m going to Vegas May 2nd-4th. Woohoo!

Ok I wrote another post, bye!

Happy B-Earth Day

with 2 comments

Today is my very good friend’s birthday. It also happens to be Earth Day, which helps me remember his birthday. Happy Birthday, Pete. I am going to try and make sure everyone at your office knows it’s your birthday. This will annoy you, so I am sorry (sort of).

Pete: …
Pete: Fuck you
Me: What happened?
Pete: Fuck you
Pete: (copied-message): Hey I heard it’s your birthday!!! Happy Birthday, hope it’s a GREAT one!
Me: HAHAHAHAHA
Pete: Goddammit. I’m serious
Me: That’s it? Sheesh
Pete: I’m actually mad because I really didn’t want that happening
Me: Calm down, haha!
Pete: And I asked you not to. And you didn’t respect what I asked
Me: Nobody put streamers up or anything. You asked me not to AFTER the fact, I can’t un-do an email
Pete: You knew going in
Me: True. What’s one IM? That’s nothin
Pete: That’s not really the point. I didn’t want anyone to know
Me: The point is I didn’t listen to you
Pete: Right. You’re a dick
Me: Yes
Pete: Fuck you
Me: I apologize
Pete: Ok, that’s a little extreme. I’m sorry. You’re not a dick, and I retract the fuck you
Pete: But you’re still a dick. I really really didn’t want anyone to know
Me: So.. I’m a dick. But no “fuck you”
Pete: And now i’ve got an email, goddammit
Pete: I really, really didn’t want this
Pete: Now I have to respond to fucking IM’s with goddamn smileys
Pete: (copied-message): Actually speaking of birthdays… I’m having a birthday after work next Friday… I was hoping you guys could swing by for a drink
Pete: This is what you’ve started. This is exactly, exactly what I wanted to avoid
Pete: (copied-message): We need to have more hangs with the dept… we’re getting crusty
Pete: I’m irritated enough that I’m using italics

Award Me

Thought: A bar is only “really good” if it has a dart board, possibly a pool table or two, and a jukebox with “Knights of Cydonia” and/or “Epic” on it.

I’m not going to apologize for the lack of posting so far this month. However I will add an obscene amount of pictures to this blog post in no particular order with no captions or explanations whatsoever. Hmm, that sounds an awful lot like one of those blogs that won some “Canadian Blog Awards”.

Jim is visiting this weekend.
The movie 21 was “ehh”.
