More of the same...

El blogo is a going to be really thin on posts for the next 5 days, MADNESS insues. Just more of the same really. The Love of My Life told me that Alex is having a party/get together for her Bday coming up, I wish I could be there for that. Another in along list of things I'm missing/going to miss. Will post more if I get the chance.

Quote of the Post: "lest I have to kill you in the morning"

Scaring the straights...

I enjoy my non-conformity, more than enjoy really, more like rally behind my non-conformity. I listen to obscure music, enjoy obscure books, and play obscure games.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Really its Domo-kun posting all the Frost, look I got a picture to prove it! It proves that large furry things really know their lit. Anyways, Domo-kun pointed out the similarities of my life with Frost's poem. I'd say that I agree, if everyone goes right, I'm going left. Its tough to be so out there. I admit sometimes there is weakness in me, sometimes I want to conform just to make people shut up. If you hear me listening to some obscure song, by all means ask what it is. I got no problem with that, its when they ask something like that and then give the look of "ah thats wierd". It gets really old. Really Really Really old. I guess being cut off from the few that really understand me in this world and stuck dealing with the "straights" is dragging on my soul. I'd love to talk to someone about Warcraft or Dune or hell just plain old Star Wars would be great to talk about. I crave geek interaction I guess. Thank goodness for the Love of my life and my Brother for having somebody to talk geek to when I needed it most. Speaking of which, the Bro just dropped me a line informing of Halo 3's release on teh east coast. Lucky bastards getting to play! I won't get to finish the fight until the end of October, the level of blowing on that is off the blow-o-meter. I want me some Halo deathmatch, that would calm the shakes.

Domo was nice enough to get up and get a bit of breakie going this morning for me. I did get out and get some new pics taken for you guys.

Thats me sitting in the giant APC (I think its a Tahoe) chevy gave us to run around in, the thing is freaking huge. We stopped at 7/11, I am not amused. I did grab the following pic of Downtown Dallas as viewed from the Apts.

And yeah, I'm really tired. Worked from 8 to about 10:30ish Dallas time so 9-11:30 normal people time. I post some more tomorrow of course. This is really helping me from feeling so alone. Thanks everybody.

100% Blog Proof

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

So of course that last bit has been playing through my head over and over again, thanks Death Proof. So work is still MADNESS. I spent to much of what little free time I have here dealing with it. To sum up, They need a stage tech, not an INFORMATION TECH. 2 different jobs there. Lets move on, shall we?

I was lazy and didn't get any pics taken. Me and Domo did watch the Star Wars Family Guy, it was awesome. Domo did get a great self shot of the two of us while I was on the phone.

I am Looking forward to watching the new [Adult Swim] shows tonight, w00tage. I really miss my Fel Flame. Alright I'm going to go zone out.

Now that I got that out of the way, we can move on to Day 2 of the MADNESS. Really today was the first day of work. Lets see if I can sum it up in one word, LIES. So I should have been shooting today, but instead I was doing stage tech crap setting up video consoles, remote consoles, and sound stuff. I'm not a theater guy, used to be, but not anymore. I don't want to do it. I'm a web/designer/Film guy. Not let me go run your wires and screw shit in guy. My Father in is Dad wisdom says I shouldn't let one crap day of work get me. I agree (/agree) with Him (LostHorizon agrees with Dad). Oh I really want to keep talking in emotes, but you'd all kill me. Anyways, work is supposed to suck, hence the work bit. I'm just upset because I'm away from my loved ones and friends and I'm doing stuff I never wanted to do. Any one of those things I could take by themselves, together its just about too much to take. Of course I'm going to stick with it but next year maybe very different. Could have been worse, I could of been fighting the Covenant. Wait that sounds awesome.



Here is a quick and dirty Panaramic shot of the House of the theater, rather interesting locale really.

Domo-kun lucked out and slept all day. Lucky bastard. Check back in a few and I Should have some more interesting pics of today up in my Epson album and here. Until later.

Director's Cut: Day 2 Photo album is here.

Dallas Day: 2

"Beginings are delicate times."

Ah Dune, you've always got the perfect quote for everything that may come up. I always thought Duncan Idaho kicked so much ass, I always wanted his job. Well maybe not his job in God Emperor of Dune but sometimes I thought it was so appealing. Speaking of jobs I started my new job offically today! Madness! There is that saying "The cart can't come before the horse" or some such, well thats about what happened today. I am the IT guy without any IT! Really! Show up to work expecting to do some organizing and networking and guess what? No damn machine! Some backstory for your reading pleasure, Friday the 21st I fly out to Dallas to help put on there big show (really really big shoe). So they pack up and send out all of there machines for the show. Riddle me this Batman! Why do you need 2 G5s and 2 PCs? Tune in to find out! So now I'm presented with a hell of a condrum, Do I go in to work to do nothing or do stay home and work and actually get stuff done? I know what I want do. I've never been one to have my time wasted.

Now for real news, Halo ActionClix hit the streets today (w00t). I'm looking foward to some of that. Bad news in the world of releases is that they are messing around with Jam Sessions release date which blows, I want me some Jam Sessions now! As for anime releases go the last disk of Haruhi should be out as well as Eureka volume 9, but alas our search has been in vain.

Watched Naruto: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow yesterday-ish. I enjoyed it. Naruto is the prime example of fast food anime, when you need an awesome ninja battle and some bad ass technique names poof its there for you, but your really don't get much back. I love me some secret techniques!
