I'm not gonna lie, time is whizzing by and I suck at writing consistently. MUST RECTIFY. Other than that not a whole lot interesting. Well, that is a lie, there is a lot interesting, but I am feeling lousy at work so can call little to mind.
Work is BORING. And yes, you may say that for everyone, but there are tasks in this world that are not boring to do. And by that understanding there must be work out there that isn't boring.
I wonder if I can get Meds to no be bored. I am finding myself SO bored it has stopped making sense. I sit watching a television show AND playing a video game AT THE SAME TIME, and I am still VERY BORED. It has stopped making sense. I used to be able to play a game and be entertained for hours, but now I play them to simply, grudgingly, pass the time. Granted there are things that entertain me. Some friends and I play unusual board games on occasion, and that entertains me. Interesting that Video Games don't so much though. Perhaps it is the social aspect? This will be an interesting concept to consider and experiment with. Perhaps I need social interaction to not be bored. The girl tells me she thinks I am an introvert, and I had thought to believe her due to her logic, but upon reflection with this information I am not so sure. I am bored by myself, and not bored around people. Hmmm. I intend to audition for a musical in the coming month so I feel that that might give me additional insight into what keeps me entertained. I do not recall being too bored while being in shows in the past. A bit listless while you must wait in the wings, but not bored in the "don't really have anything to do to entertain me" sort of way. Oh well, I find myself rambling a bit.
Tires. This is the current bain of my existence. Tires cost a TON of money. To get the pair I would ideally WANT would cost over 600$. TOO MUCH. And that is for 2, count them TWO tires. I only need 2 to pass vehicle inspection at this time. And granted there are alternative options. I have shopped around and the cheapest locally I can get them is about $280 installed from Costco. Not horrible, but still not so great. I could order them online, but after shipping and paying someone to install them for me it gets close to that $280 mark again. Especially since I am getting all weather tires, what with crazy uber snow this past year. Blah.
The other option open to me is getting USED tires. Now you may scoff, and I must admit my own skepticism initially, but I called them up and they said that they had the tires I wanted and could have me in and out the door in 20 minutes for 100$ flat. And they were the good tires too. I must admit though the person I spoke to spoke next to no English so some of this may have gotten lost in translation. I also called a different used tire place that quoted about 120$ in and out, so this price range holds relatively steady. Now granted I will swing by and check the tires myself to see how they stack up, but think about it. This was the logic presented to me and I am expanding on it. This is a rich area, so people would not necessarily think twice about getting 4 new tires if they get, say, 1 flat. Or perhaps they never rotate their tires on their front wheel drive car and consequently burn out 2 tires while the other 2 remain essentially new (as is with my car). So I will give it the benefit of the doubt and check it out tomorrow and see how it all stacks up.
Aside from that, been working out as usual, though I must say I feel as though I have been metaphorically lapped by my wife. She is doing, needless to say, a GREAT job with her regiment with serious results. So now I am re-evaluating what I had desired with my gym time, and think I need to create a better structure to get to the gym more regularly and hit certain machines in a repetitive nature. Also a little online research would not lead me astray.
Well, I guess back to work. This bi-week has not been the worst, but it has felt the longest. Blah. Off I go!

Blog 24 : 2/18/2010 : Dreams
Man I had some WEIRD dreams last night. It was very adventure center of the earth style. Man I LOVE nightmares. Like real ones, where you are facing against all odds, not lame ones where you run into an ex girlfriend or are being chased by a giant pair of shoes. I like the REAL ones. One set of shitty dreams I tend to have are what I coin, Obligation Dreams, and Rule Dreams. This means that in the dream world you are need to fulfill some stupid obligation that is not really understood or even able to be fulfilled, but you try the whole dream, like collating TPS reports or something bizarre, which, as you might guess, is impossible because you can't READ in a dream, though that doesn't stop you from trying. And the Rule Dreams are ones where a different set of reality rules apply. This usually occurs after a run of a few hours of video games before bed so that some of the physics rules of the games bleed over into your dreams, so perhaps you are only able to move in a linear pattern or in a hexagonal moving pattern or are limited in other ways. Both sets of these are annoying as crap. I have yet to figure out how to have the good nightmares. See the way I figure it, a "Good Dream" by normal standards is boring and useless. Sitting here I cannot actually imagine what a Good Dream might be aside from like hanging out with people or something. In my mind there is no such thing as a good dream because by definition a good dream would be a dream where something Good Happens, but the thing is, as it is a dream, once you wake up, that Good thing NEVER HAPPENED, so it automatically becomes a Bad Dream. Am I wrong? So I prefer NIGHTMARES. The number of dreams I have had with zombies and monsters is stunning, and while they don't always go well, they are interesting, and sometimes I win against them too which makes them Fun. Last night's adventure was a sort of Journey to the center of the earth bit, where (and I am paraphrasing and filling in the gaps as I go, as it is already alluding me) I worked for a construction team that was looking into a building that was sinking into a sink hole, and when we went into the foundation found 2 subterranean cultures that were fighting. Now the leaders of these cultures (both of a monster looking form) ended up having a one on one battle (quite spectacular) in what appeared to be a hollowed out subterranean building. One of them one (I think I helped but can't recall how) and then the whole place started to collapse because of the weight of the building above us (in the sinkhole) and so we all had to escape. Twas an interesting monster filled nightmare in the dark, and it was FUN. Don't know if I ever mentioned the Scariest dream I ever had in this blog before, but I dreamt I was a Foreign exchange student over in Tibet, but there was apparently some trouble there so we were all being sent home the next day (this is all dream back story that came with the dream, even though I didn't actively experience it. Kinda neat). So I am walking home on a gravel road in the dark trying to keep on the road by sound alone as there is NO light, when I catch SOMETHING moving out of the corner of my eye, so I roll and kick out at it. Then I call out to whomever is there to turn on their light. Then all I hear is Something scrabbling across the gravel towards me muttering something in a language I can't understand. But the REALLY scary as shit part was that my dream felt it appropriate to subtitle what was being said. And yes, I know I just said you can't read in dreams, and you CAN'T I know this because I have tried. You might get one or two words but it never makes sense. But THIS one did. So this THING in the dark I cannot see is scrabbling towards me muttering, and the subtitles keep reading "For the Flesh". And then it reached me and touched me in the ribs and I woke up. The bed had NOT been wet thank goodness, but scared the PISS out of me none the less. But still, I love nightmares, they're just interesting.
But that aside I went to the gym regularly for the past few days, feeling rocked in the Abs department for some reason (which is odd because I do them pretty often, not sure what over did it for them) and I did some Yoga yesterday, and big surprise there, I am not flexible. I am like an animated 2x4. Did some more brainstorming on scripts. Been working to stay ahead at work. And that about sums it up. Mainly a paperwork week with Taxes coming up and some other stuff. Gonna get my car inspected today, hoo-frikin-ray.
And that's all folks!

Blog 23 : 2/16/2010 : Oh Tuesday, the Other Monday
Well it was hard as CRAP getting back to work today after that GLORIOUSLY long break. 11 days I think was final count. Granted I still went in a bit but that is okay. But needless to say coming back to work today was tough. Though I find it less horribly nerve wracking at work as I think my boss trusts my judgement more these days. Oh well.
Other interesting things. Last night after writing my Blog friend Joe came over and we worked on a script idea of his hammering out some outline components and brain storming for a couple hours. That felt good to get the creative stuff going, and it is nice to know I worked on writing a bit. I was thinking about that today, what is it that really makes life worthwhile. I had once though that it was WHO you spent your life with, but after some haberdashery and retardation galore after College I realize that that is more of a lifestyle choice and not the answer to the big question. Then I thought it was WHAT you did. But then I went to LA tried the job stuffs and found that what you do is never what you expect. Then I thought it was MONEY, or how much you made. Now this one made sense a bit cause with money you can buy happiness (yes I know the old proverb says Money can't buy happiness but some how I don't see a lot of really sad rich people around). So I pursued engineering again with the concept that if I made enough money I would be able to fill my life with stuff and it would deplete my stress level especially concerning loans and such. But now I am wondering if what makes life worth living is SUCCEEDING. Granted I think that which makes life worth living will eventually be a combination of all of these, but lets pursue the success idea. When you succeed in anything, you feel good. Hell even in a boring job when you can sit back and say a job well done, you feel kinda nice about it. Granted there are exceptions, I'm sure the torturer doesn't sit back and say "Jolly well done, we got all the information out of THAT one." but I think you get the point. Most likely it is doing a job you enjoy, but being able to have success in that job that will create a combination to yield happiness. Oh yea, also you have to make money because it creates a sort of echo of that happiness in the rest of your life. So job you find interesting that you can be successful at which yields money to cover happiness in your lifestyle which you spend with someone you can enjoy these things with. Be careful though because otherwise you create too delicate a balance. I mean lets say you have all this in order and lose you job or *gasp* are promoted to a position you don't like or don't feel success at, then the rest all goes out of wack even more dramatically because it is like a domino effect. Makes me understand why so many people don't really try in their lives because if they don't have far to fall then it doesn't hurt when they do. A thing to consider anyway. But those who try the hardest often fall the hardest. It is often the man who works a hundred hours a week only to return home to find his wife has run off with the pool boy with big dreams of one day owning his own pool cleaning company, who finds his world collapse around him. Balance is important. Perhaps I should take up meditation. I do believe personal time and meditation are important. And personal time is different that personal entertainment. Playing video games is not personal time. Personal time is working with your hands or driving in the country. It is where you are not being entertained but are entertaining yourself. Keeps the brain active. Its like the sleep chemical but the important one you get while you are awake, without it you find yourself becoming duller and weaker of mind. For example this blogging is my waking sleep, my proverbial "personal time". It used to be my commute through all the back roads but now that I sit in beltway traffic I have had to adapt. It works reasonably well as I feel that I am getting my thoughts out and while not in order, they feel better written down.
Well that is enough of that ramble. Other things I did today was go to work, get a decent amount done. Went to the gym when I got home and went to a class with the girl. Soon I shall eat a Delicious dinner I had no part in making *shame on me* and be off to a night of board games with people far smarter than me (which makes it quite the board game challenge let me tell you!)
Over and out.
This MIGHT be the poorest choice in picture I've ever seen. (Figure 1)

Blog 23 : 2/15/2010 : Too Much Snow?
Mark: i think your days between blogging are going up exponentially
at your current rate, you should be done with your 1000 post goal in about 27.4 years
This sadly is very true, and while I would like to blame my lapse on the snow, sadly I must just admit to my laziness. Home for a whole week due to the snow and I didn't even pick up my blog. Pathetic on my part. But I can only continue to try, and try I shall!
But MAN, that was ALOT of SNOW. I had to dig my car out over three times and when I say dig out I mean Excavate. It got to the point where I was "old manning it" which is to say I would hobble over, get a shovel full, and hobble over to the discard pile and tentatively tip it out to save my back the strain. Big Fail there. And even as I write it is starting to snow AGAIN. Who knows what I'm going to do when summer gets here and there is no snow to watch. I'll have to take up bird watching or something it will be ridiculous.
But needless to say the snow days were not entirely wasted. Lots of exercise at the gym, and of course, shoveling snow. Had people in and out of the house a lot for social times which kept me amused. Played TOO MANY video games. Big fail on my part there. Went to Wisp Ski resort this past weekend with the in laws and went snowshoeing and generally lounged about the cabin. Quite the relaxing weekend all in all. The snowshoeing was a bit of an interesting experience because the snow was so deep that even snow shoes didn't work. I was able to find one drift that was mid way up my chest. Tried to play around on the ice a bit and failed cause the snow was insulating the ice and it was consequently like walking on crazy slush so I gave that one up out of self preservation. Hmm, what else. Watched some of the Olympics so that was interesting. I must say the people who devote their lives aiming for the Olympics are a complete mystery to me. What I mean by that is, they put EVERYTHING into it, without thinking about ROTH IRA's or savings bonds, or retirement or mortgages, it just seems to me it is just THAT goal. And even if you make it, that means you've peaked at like 18. Where do you go from there?? And what happens if you fail?? I mean, what do you have going for you then? Apparently a bunch of the winners are rich though I do not understand how they become rich aside from the occasional endorsement commercial by like McDonald's or Subway. THAT by the way I found hideously retarded. Like Frankenstein Monster on a go cart retarded. Every Olympics I see a McDonald's commercial where they claim to be the number 1 food choice of Olympic Athletes. The lie is so big I go blind for about 20 minutes every time (Hence why I can't listen to the radio while driving when the Olympics are going on. Self preservation again I'm afraid). But really, REALLY? Can they even begin to believe that is true? And on top of that WHAT person THEN goes out to eat at McDonald's because they saw that commercial? The only thing I can imagine is some slightly dim child whose dream is to compete in the Olympics believing everything he hears, and then only finds himself falling DRASTICALLY short during the Olympic qualifiers for Diving when he weighs in at a whopping 500 pounds and a confused look on his face. HARD FAIL.
But needless to say the Olympics makes me think about life and how one can devote themselves to something so whole heartedly. It is impressive. And I desire that ability to devote. I can't really recall the saying, but the one where ... oh wait, Ignorance is Bliss. I believe this whole heartedly. The most small minded and lifestyle ignorant people I've known in the past are often the happiest. I often envy their simple minded view of the world, and while I would never give up my complicated view, it is something that leads me to introspection. I feel Olympic Athletes are able to create their own ignorance. To create a limited scope of the world for themselves so they focus on only one thing. I would be interested to see what an Olympic Athlete thinks about things like retirement and careers and taxes. Ah, ignorance is bliss. Makes me wish I had lived it up more when I was 10.
Oh well. Back to the grind.
Best Scooter EVER! (Fig 1)

Day 22 : 2/5/10 : Snow Day
Went ahead and worked from home today. "worked". Ended up getting side tracked going to the mall to get Meg her birthday and Valentines day gifts. I really don't like Valentines day. I like being original enough and creative enough to get my gal things she wants without it having to be a holiday that makes it manditory. Making it manditory sort of detracts from the novelty of it. But either way spent a HUGE amount of time there not working :-P and then sat in traffic for a while from people being retarded in the snow. Sort of sums up the first half of the day. Second half we had a couple friends come over and hung out which was good times. It was one of thier's birthdays so it was fun to celebrate. Then they went to dinner while we made dinner at home, and unfortunatly in the snow they hit some crazy lady who was in the middle of the intersection and not moving. Bad situation all round but no one hurt beyond the crazy lady being crazy at people. We then finished out the evening hanging out when they came back from dinner and watching the snow fall. Good times all round. This blog reads a bit like a diary, but, well, when you are snowed in you are sort of limited ;)
Out!
Oh god.. it... it just gets worse and worse as you scroll down.

Day 21: 2/4/10 : Wow.
Wow, I just got shot down for a job I applied for at GMU over a YEAR ago. That is some fierce turnaround. Sorry again for not posting in a regular fashion, still trying to determine when would work best. Actually trying a different approach. I'm taking the last few minutes of my workday to relax and write. So hopefully this will help out a bit. I found it amusing, my mom asked me why I had stopped writing. I was unaware that more than a day had passed, so needless to say I shall start including the date in the name as well so it allows ME to keep better track.
So, how about the snow eh? I'm looking forward to it though no one else is. Perhaps I should buy a sled? Hmmm. Though I don't want to go to the store to fight everyone who is INSANE and trying to get water for some reason. I always find it strange that buying water is the cheque thing to do when you get snowed in. When you get SNOWED IN. The key word here folks is SNOW. IE WATER. Oh well, there is no helping some people. Man I want to stab my keyboard in the face it doesn't have. Keeps squeaking, which makes my workday VERY long indeed.
Lets see, what have I been up to. Stayed home on Wed from the snow and totally rocked the couch and got yelled at by the wife for being lazy. Not really, but I felt like someone should have yelled at me for being lazy cause I sat on the couch, but it was enjoyable. No stress, just relaxation watching terrible TV. Also my standard of terrible tv is different than most peoples. Mine still has a plot while YOUR terrible Tv is usually reality shows and other stuff where you watch really stupid people kicking the emotional crap out of each other. Le-sigh, what a world we live in. I wonder if it is reality TV that has made the regular shows so bad? I doubt it, you would think it would have a bottleneck effect so all the good writers were on the shows still left like some sort of proverbial fictional life raft. I just think people are lazy. I am one to talk too, I'm terribly lazy. Well, not LAZY, but I lack that extra UN-laziness that would get me doing my own thing after a long day of work. I miss the good old days of a no brainer job. That was nice, all day to do kind of whatever I wanted. Now I am stressed for the time crunch and I feel like my brain turns to mush.
Very strange thing that actually. I feel like in my current job where I read, dispute, research and analyse that my brain feels, follow me on this one folks, UNDER used. It feels like a sorely overworked muscles, like when you keep bending at the hips to lift stuff and not at the knees. Whereas in LA when I did very little but had a lot of, shall we say, interactive association with my surroundings, I felt like my brain got a workout. I wonder if it is A) the interaction with people, or B) the interaction with my environment that makes me feel like my brain works. I might think B. I mean I go to the gym but do not feel smarter. Other muscles are bigger but no my brain. Perhaps it is the interaction with physical problems in a low stress environment or some combination therewith. Maybe you just need to be doing something you like. I do not know, this would be an interesting thing to experiment with.
Well, goal summary. Worked out the past few days. Crushed yesterday because I was waiting for Meg to get out of class while not being shown up by all the giants at the new gym. So good times there. Lots of sitting still so far today.
Personal goals, more brainstorming on scripts, and got some new material from the inlaws to read regarding goals and the emotional walls we create for ourselves. I may usually not buy into that, but seeing my own severe LACK of progress as can be seen in this blog, I wonder if I let myself find reasons to NOT do my goals. Sort of like a built in belief that there is always something more important to do, but never getting to either thing because you are too busy worrying about it. Interesting. But I look forward to reading some of this material and structuring my goals better. It is not that I think I need structure to achieve my goals, I think I need structure to believe that I can accomplish my goals. Small pieces makes believable goals. Hmm that might be a line in one of those books.
Aside from that was talking to buddy Joe and he had a bang up idea for a script, so I am looking forward to working on that with him. I will not divulge it here, but later once we get something on paper I might leak a few spoilers.
Other than that, just looking forward to snow. Will prolly work from home tomorrow cause I do NOT want to deal with all the turds on the beltway. So here's to that then.

So, how about the snow eh? I'm looking forward to it though no one else is. Perhaps I should buy a sled? Hmmm. Though I don't want to go to the store to fight everyone who is INSANE and trying to get water for some reason. I always find it strange that buying water is the cheque thing to do when you get snowed in. When you get SNOWED IN. The key word here folks is SNOW. IE WATER. Oh well, there is no helping some people. Man I want to stab my keyboard in the face it doesn't have. Keeps squeaking, which makes my workday VERY long indeed.
Lets see, what have I been up to. Stayed home on Wed from the snow and totally rocked the couch and got yelled at by the wife for being lazy. Not really, but I felt like someone should have yelled at me for being lazy cause I sat on the couch, but it was enjoyable. No stress, just relaxation watching terrible TV. Also my standard of terrible tv is different than most peoples. Mine still has a plot while YOUR terrible Tv is usually reality shows and other stuff where you watch really stupid people kicking the emotional crap out of each other. Le-sigh, what a world we live in. I wonder if it is reality TV that has made the regular shows so bad? I doubt it, you would think it would have a bottleneck effect so all the good writers were on the shows still left like some sort of proverbial fictional life raft. I just think people are lazy. I am one to talk too, I'm terribly lazy. Well, not LAZY, but I lack that extra UN-laziness that would get me doing my own thing after a long day of work. I miss the good old days of a no brainer job. That was nice, all day to do kind of whatever I wanted. Now I am stressed for the time crunch and I feel like my brain turns to mush.
Very strange thing that actually. I feel like in my current job where I read, dispute, research and analyse that my brain feels, follow me on this one folks, UNDER used. It feels like a sorely overworked muscles, like when you keep bending at the hips to lift stuff and not at the knees. Whereas in LA when I did very little but had a lot of, shall we say, interactive association with my surroundings, I felt like my brain got a workout. I wonder if it is A) the interaction with people, or B) the interaction with my environment that makes me feel like my brain works. I might think B. I mean I go to the gym but do not feel smarter. Other muscles are bigger but no my brain. Perhaps it is the interaction with physical problems in a low stress environment or some combination therewith. Maybe you just need to be doing something you like. I do not know, this would be an interesting thing to experiment with.
Well, goal summary. Worked out the past few days. Crushed yesterday because I was waiting for Meg to get out of class while not being shown up by all the giants at the new gym. So good times there. Lots of sitting still so far today.
Personal goals, more brainstorming on scripts, and got some new material from the inlaws to read regarding goals and the emotional walls we create for ourselves. I may usually not buy into that, but seeing my own severe LACK of progress as can be seen in this blog, I wonder if I let myself find reasons to NOT do my goals. Sort of like a built in belief that there is always something more important to do, but never getting to either thing because you are too busy worrying about it. Interesting. But I look forward to reading some of this material and structuring my goals better. It is not that I think I need structure to achieve my goals, I think I need structure to believe that I can accomplish my goals. Small pieces makes believable goals. Hmm that might be a line in one of those books.
