Tuesday.....might as well be Monday.

The weekend seems so far away. This week has not started off as hectic as last week, and I'm hoping it stays that way. I had a good weekend with my wife. Last night she had a rough day at work, as she has been lately. Very frustrating for her. So we sat around and did nothing but just watch TV and enjoy each others company.

Got a meeting today @ 3PM. Hope it goes by fast as always and just makes the time go by super fast. Ready to go home. How bout you?

Server Issues

Man, today was not the ideal day to work. Our server here at work was going in and out and just working really slow. I don't know why, but it too so long just to do a certain project. It really slowed us down here. They've been looking into it and hopefully tomorrow, it will be a different story. Cross your fingers, people!

Taco Bell

Just had two burritos from the .89 menu at Taco Bell. Yum. That's all. :)

Too busy to blog.

Yup.... you better believe it. So much going on right now here at work. Working on two message series at a time, which is pretty tough to juggle so much and other little jobs coming in here and there. Hopefully, I'll get them all done this week though. That would be great. I guess we will see what happens. Right now, I just have to make sure that I have a good stock of gum. Helps keep the nerves down. :)

Slow Down!

I feel like I'm going 100MPH right now. Trying to be cool and calm, but it doesn't help when you have retarded machines. It also doesn't help that I'm so hungry. I feel like I have an endless list of things that I have to do. Even when I tackle one, it seems like two more sprout up. What can you do.

Wanna know what gets me!?!?!?!

Yesterday on my way to work, the guy in front of me opens his driver door and drops some paper trash on the floor. Then he opens it again and throws out another piece of trash. This is where you wish the whole video game were a real thing, cause I would so go GTAIV on them and get out and open their door and make them pick up that trash with his teeth!!! Sorry, but it really gets to me when people are so lazy and just throw trash out like that. Like you can't wait till you get to where ever it is that you're going and throw it in a trash can there? I bet those are the same losers that complain about how dirty our roads and highways are. Grrr.... GTAIV mode and just slam into them. :)

Another thing that really bugs me, is when people are turning under a freeway/highway and they don't stay on their side of the dashed line. That line exists for a reason!!! Yesterday a tard lady almost hit me cause she started turning onto my side of the dashed line. I'm all honking at her and she got all scared and moved over all the way. Lol. That was funny. But seriously, why can't people stay on their side of the dashed line? Do they not know what it's there for?

And another thing, when you have a green light and it says, "LEFT TURN YEILD ON GREEN", that means that when it's a green light and there is on coming traffic, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT AWAY!!!! I was coming to a grean light and I was turning right and the tard coming from the other direction turns at the same time so I have to slam on my brakes just to avoid slamming into him. Grr....

Sorry, just had to vent.

The Chainsaw Man

So I was playing some RE5 today and I got to the level with the chainsaw guy. Not fun. This guy was so freaking hard to kill and he just keeps coming at you. One time that he gets you and you're done. I died twice and had to replay that part. I even quit the game, but quickly got back on and had to beat it. Lol. So needless to say, I got past that part. Thank goodness. Nothing worse than getting to a part of a game that you really like and can't get past it. Soon it just gets added to the games somewhere in the back. Lol. Never finished.

We went out to see the house again. It's moving pretty quick. It's been raining all morning, and just stopped around 3 PM. It's still overcast and very gloomy. Just makes me want to crawl in bed and fall asleep. It was actually hailing when I woke up this morning. It was pretty intense for like 10 minutes and then it just stopped. Really weird.

Man, I can't believe it's already 6:20 PM. Gonna be time to head back to work already. Weekends always go by so quick. I guess anytime that you get to just rest does. What can you do. That's father time for you.

Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.

So I woke up around 2:30 PM. Yes, you read it correctly and no it was not a typo..... I say again.... 2:30 PM. Why? Well, for one thing I didn't go to bed till 3 AM. I was playing some Killzone 2 online. And second.... it's Saturday!!! Come on.... how many chances do we get to sleep in like that. I don't think I've slept that late since back when I was in high school. Wow. Good stuff though. Don't regret it at all.

So it's about 8:50 PM and I still haven't played my Resident Evil 5. I popped it in earlier and it was a lot of setup which almost took 20 to 30 minutes downloading... installing... then more installing.... setup..... I started cleaning and then I was like, "Forget this... I'm going to clean more". Turned it off. Hopefully, the next time I actually do want to play RE5, it'll be ready to jump in. Seriously.

Watched two movies. Max Payne and Burn After Reading. Max Payne was okay, but wasn't as good as I expected. Bad acting by Ludacris, and I've seen better from Marky Mark. And Burn After Reading should be called Burn After Watching. Horrible movie. Horrible. Don't even bother wasting time on this thing. I thought it was going to be a funny movie. Two chuckles is what came out of me. I was bored by the first 10 minutes. Three thumbs down. You catch my drift?

Resident Evil 5

That's right.... it comes out today......... whoop whoop! I've been waiting for this game since like last year when they announced it. I know, it's sad.... what can I say. I'm a gamer. I know what I'll be doing tonight..... after our tournament match of course! :)

Days Like This

It's days like today (cold & wet) that don't make me miss my first job. I used to work at a container storage yard and I was the interchange clerk/inspector. I inspected every piece of equipment (containers and chasis) that came through our gates. And when it was cold, windy and wet like this, it was heck. The metal would be slippery and I would slip and hit my shins on the metal edges, my fingers would get too cold to write, cause I couldn't wear gloves to write and grip the paper. Your hands would hurt and you hit them and the metal door hinges. The wind would blow the water on my interchanges/receipts so everything would get wet and soggy. It would puddle a lot under the port so you would come home with cold wet socks. Man...... that was pretty bad. The good thing was I worked for some really great people. I do miss them a alot.

Grr....

Don't you just hate it when you need a certain website and it just goes down all of a sudden? Been working just fine this morning, now it just wants to quit on me. What's up with that? Something needs to happen..... let's move it iStock!!!

Must..... sleep....

I feel like those few days that I was sick and unable to sleep are catching up with me now. I'm so tired and restless. I could literally put my head on the desk and probably fall asleep now. I'm sure the weather outside is not helping. It's all dark, gloomy and wet. I really don't mind it, I kind of miss seeing weather like this. It seems like it's been so long since we've had a really hard rain or thunderstorm through here. I can't really remember when that was. It's just barely sprinkling right now, but I guess something's better than nothing.

Went out to the house last night and took some photos. The house is coming along really quick. They have the roof up, outside walls up and most of the windows. They even had one of the tubs installed. I wanted to run in there so bad and lay down in it and take a picture, but there were still two workers there and I didn't want them to think I was a tard. Plus, there were some wet spots all around, so I just stayed on the outside.

Did I mention I could fall asleep right now?

Back In Da Cube.

Back to work for me. I've been feeling so nasty these past few days and my wife too. I'm back at work now, and even though I'm still about 60% right now, it's a lot better than where I was a couple of days back. Hopefully, this will all be gone VERY soon. I hope Erin gets better too, cause she was feeling and still is a bit.

I got word from my mom that one of my cousin's in Mexico died yesterday. Complications with surgery and other stuff, but I won't go into details. I don't like to hear my mom cry. My cousins and I from Mexico used to be a bit close when we were little and would always play when we would go visit them. Back then, it was more often cause times weren't so bad over there. I don't even remember the last time I saw him. I just pray for my aunt, who is now going to be watching over his kids. My heart and prayers go out to all of them.

I did have a little bit of time to do something productive. I actually got our site up and running. I only had a little bit to do, but it was something that was holding us back. But now I got it up. Now I just have to work on our portfolio.

Something else, I beat Resistance. I only had a few more levels to go, and I was able to finish it. Don't think I'll be getting Resistance 2 just yet. Resident Evil 5 is coming out this Friday, so I know that will be occupying my time. Maybe after that, I'll get it. But for now, I'll focus on RE5.

I will going out to take some pictures of the house today after work. Erin usually goes and does this, but today she will be at the Rodeo with her friend who invited her to go see Reba. At least I'll get a preview of what my drive home will be in the future. We'll see how that goes.

It is Friday.

Today is Friday, and even though I know that this weekend will not be a relaxed one, I'm ready for it. Last night we went to a bar inside the loop called "The Lot". My sister-in-law, Heather works there and she invited us all to come on by on their opening night. I really didn't know what to expect because of the area that it was in. When I used to live in town, it was not the nicest place. They've done wonders to that area now, and the bar was awesome. I loved the whole feel of the place and the atmosphere. And that's coming from a guy that never goes to bars. Lol.

Tonight we'll be hanging with my cousin and a few of our high school buddies, before he heads out on Monday to Fort Hood where he will be stationed at. Probably gonna go eat at his parents then go out bowling.

Tomorrow we'll be at a cousin's son's birthday party for the midday/afternoon. Don't know what we will do later on. We had wanted to go see the Watchmen movie, but I don't know if that will happen now. We will probably go see the stage of the house too before we go to the birthday party.

Sunday we'll have church and probably be cleaning if it doesn't get done on Saturday. I have a clan match that night too. Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze in more video game time than just that over the weekend. Very eventful weekend.

Tengo hambre!

I'm hungry! That's what the title means, in case your asking. It's around 1:30 PM and I'm just barely going to be taking my lunch break. I have coupons for JITB, so I'm thinking I might go there. Still not sure, I guess I will see.

Man, I'm hurting more today that yesterday. Not cool. It hurts to rollover in bed. Lol. I mean, I know it's good that it's hurting cause that means that my muscles are actually getting a work out, but when it hurts to reach for something, it's not too much fun.

Pasta again?

So this past Sunday my lovely wife, Erin made a past dish using some deer sausage that my parents gave us. It was very good. We had quite a bit left over, so I've been bringing it to work with me for the past 3 days. 4 days in a row of pasta. I think it's time for a change tomorrow. Lol. It's still really tasty as it has been, but you know, your taste buds are craving a bit of variety. I've even gotten a bit tired of pizza. Yes, I said it, pizza. I need variety and I kept bringing mini pizzas for work. Now I'm all pizza'd out! My friend Stephanie here at work is at JITB (Jack In The Box....seriously, get with the lingo here!) and she's getting herself a teriyaki bowl. I wonder if it's any good. I might go tomorrow or Friday to get me one. We have coupons. Coupons are good.

It hurts

Yesterday I got home and it just seemed like it was a mess. So I started putting away some things and cleaned the kitty litter and washed the dishes. Then I vacumed the living room area and everything felt a lot nicer. The cats have this scratch pad that's made out of cardboard and they love to scratch it. The only thing is, that stuff eventually finds its way all over the carpet all spread through the whole living area. It's a mess. And it's a world of a difference when we vacum all that up, cause the floor looks so clean. It's rare, but I have my cleaning moments like that. I folded all my clothes that I've been slowly washing as well. I felt accomplished yesterday. Unfotunately, by the time I did all that and then worked out, I was a bit tired. Didn't even get a chance to play any video games. Oh well. There's always today or tomorrow. That's the good thing about video games. They're always there ready and waiting for you. Man, I don't even know the last time I did pushups but man, am I sore today. I'm not even going to say I struggled to do last night, cause quite frankly, it's very embarrassing. I need to get back to doing more of that stuff as well as running. Cause running alone isn't going to cut it for me.

Well, I got quite a bit to do here at work, so I'd better get back to that. It's not like it's a lot of projects, just big projects that will require some time to get some ideas flowing and working. Time to dive in.

Killzoning it online!!

So last night I decided I would give Killzone 2 online a try, but my online buddy Colt, (Alan). It was a lot of fun. I didn't know what to expect, because I've had bad luck playing online in public rooms with random people. It helped tons that I had Colt there with me, but it was still a fun experience. I was able to mute everyone else and not hear the random chatter going on, which was great, especially in the lobby area. Needless to say, I will be back online to play me some Killzone again soon.

This morning, I seem to hit every single light and some even had to wait through twice. Yay! Not really. I was afraid that I was going to have to miss this morning, cause last night right before I was going to go to bed, my stomach was hurting pretty bad. I took some medicine that didn't seem to take right away, but I think I'm just fine now. :) Good thing too, cause I would have hated to have missed work and been at home all day. I mean, what would I have done..... all I have are video games and movies there. :)

Cowboy Burrito

So I was chatting with my wife a little while ago about buying some tickets to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. And now all of a sudden I'm craving a cowboy burrito. If you don't know what this is, you HAVE to go to at least the Livestock show in Houston, which is going on right now. One of the first food stands you come up to on the East side of the place, sells these burritos that has all the good stuff inside and it's big enough to fill you up too! I'm so craving it now..... wish I had one in my hands. "Slurp"

I Killzoned ....... 2

So last night I stared playing Killzone 2 after watching a couple of movies with my beautiful wife around nine something at night. I didn't go to bed till around 1:30 AM. I beat the game and must admit, was a little exhausted about it. That was a pretty intense game. Lol. But it was a lot of fun, and the game lived up the the hype if you ask me. I still haven't played the online mode, which I'm a little afraid to, since I don't have all of my clan on there, and I'm not a fan of the public rooms. I guess we'll see what happens. To be honest playing that game, made me crave to play Call of Duty 4. It reminded me a lot of it, since it was pretty intense and fun like that. A lot of non stop action.

So after yesterday with all the war going on my tv set and all the scratches I ended up with, I felt like I can back from battle. Lol. We went to go see our house yesterday. Well, what they have up. Which is only the framing for the foundation they will be pouring on Tuesday. Still didn't look like a house and it looked a bit small. But I guess once we start seeing some walls and rooms it'll actually look like a house. But getting out of the car I scraped my leg on a metal stake in the ground. Didn't tear through the pant, but it still managed to break the skin. Oh well. What can you do. That's just the way it is sometimes. :)

Killzone 2

Okay, so this morning I wake up a little premature. Last night we went out with the in laws to a club. We got home late of course and we pretty much went to bed as soon as we got home. In the morning my wife gets a call from her friend and I wake up at the sound of the phone, and after that, can't seem to fall back asleep. Bummer. So I get up to take a shower and after I'm done, my wife asks me to come into the living room. So I do, and she's telling me that Spike is freaking her out. He's staring up at the ceiling corner where we have one of those Japanese sphere things. She tells me to pick him up and see what he does. So I do and Spike reaches up towards it and he yanks at it and it pulls then retracts back really quickly scaring him. He immediately claws my collar and jumps off of me, scratching me on my collar area and back. I can't tell you how much it hurt and burned. Not exactly the way I wanted to start the morning.

After a bit, Erin and I ate some breakfast and then watched The Office. After that, I was able to get into my new game, Killzone 2. Super awesome game. The graphics are great, the play is great. It's a very intense game. It reminds me a lot like Call Of Duty 4. Another great game. Can't really tell how far along I am, but it's really hard to put down the controller. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish this game before March 17, cause Resident Evil 5 comes out them. :)
