Wednesday, and already tired.

I'm so tired, and it's only Wednesday. I don't know exactly why. I haven't been able to get the best of rest in about a week, except for the past two days. I'm not sure why that's happening. It almost seems like when I try to go to bed early, I'll fall asleep eventually, but I'll be tossing and turning and waking up all night long. When I stay up late, I'll sleep through, but sometimes, not enough time. What can you do.

Rockets and Lakers are in the 2nd round of the playoffs right now. Lakers have the series 3-2, but I'm not sure of the Rockets will win the next one. Yao is out, but they didn't have Yao on game 4, and they still won, so I guess we will see. Can't really say that I'm a fan of the Rockets, or the NBA for the most part. Haven't been in a while. The game has changed quite a bit for me.

Yesterday's Migraine..... Tomorrow's Home

So yesterday, I had a horrible migraine when I woke up. I thought it was just a bad headache until I walked into the bathroom and into the light. Ouch! I hate it when I got those. For pretty much most of the day, I had to stay away from any bright lights or loud sounds. Not fun. An apartment full of video games and movies and I couldn't even enjoy them. :(

We're getting close to the closing of our house. It's getting there. They're pretty much done with everything, I think they're finishing it all up this week, including the carpet. We have our walk through on May 20th. Should be interesting. I find myself thinking about it more and more. It's just so hard to believe that I'm going to be a home owner. A bit surreal still. I guess it won't totally hit me, till we're moved in. Not looking forward to moving everything, but I'm gonna like it once we're moved.

Dragging Along

I'm so tired today. This week has been REALLY rough. I feel like I've been beat up. Cuts, bruises, burns you name it, I got it. Machines going down, not wanting to work properly. It's just REALLY been a mess. It is Friday, but the day is not over. Still have some things to finish, mostly just design, but I still have one more thing to finish up before I can stay away from these machines. They're driving me nuts. Even the folder now has gone bad. Apparently they need to do a thorough cleaning of the machine, and he'll be back on Monday.

And my truck is now making a squeaking noise. I tried putting some WD40 on the rotating parts near the belt. That didn't work. Then I tried some belt dressing, that seemed to help a little bit, but not all the way. So during my lunch break (yay!) I gotta go to Autozone and buy me a new belt. When I get home I'm going to replace it and see if that does it. If not, I will have to take it in the shop to see what's wrong with it.

I'm ready to go home now.

Is it Friday yet?

Man, this week just feels off. So many things just going on. Tuesday we almost get flooded in over here. The water was covering the streets so we couldn't get out of our apartment complex. It even covered a lot of the parking lot. Crazy stuff. Didn't get in to work till around noon. That threw my whole day off and my week too.

So many people at work seem to be getting sick. Bronchitis, flu.... you name it. Crazy. I had a headache earlier, and still sort of due, but I was even feeling a bit weak and shaky as well when I was here at home. I don't know what all that was about.

Looking forward for this weekend. I know it'll fly by fast too, but still, just want to wake up late!!! Tomorrow and Friday I know will be busy printing days at work. What can you do.

Working @ home

How fun is that? Lol. Coming home from a day of design, and working on design. What can you do, sometimes you got to suck it up and just do it. I was working on our E&P Designs website. I was adding new MetaTags and Keywords and a description to help when people search for us, or even visit our site. I also change the horrific splash page that I had for montoyainc.com. I have to finish our portfolio and also need to start working on my personal site now. Hopefully, I'll get motiviated like I did today to do this more often. Guess we'll see!

This is a test...

So this is a test to see if I'm able to post from an e-mail. Let's see if it works!









The drama continued.....

So just before I was getting ready to go to bed, they started drinking across the way and the girl that was getting into an argument was getting more and more wasted. Soon, they were out on the balcony and talking so loud again. Then she starting screaming across the way toward her apartment from the balcony, "I LOVE YOU!!!!". Man, seriously. Just a little while ago, they looked like there were going to scalp one another, and now she's madly in love with him again. It's amazing the things alcohol can do. :) So that went on, and I went to bed. What a beautiful sound to fall asleep to. Drunk, slurry girl telling her boyfriend that just cussed her out a million times how much she loves him. I don't even know if he was even awake anymore, cause there was no response. What can you do. I tell you what I'm gonna do, wait impatiently for our house to get done so we can get out of here.

Headache's gone and ready to get this day kicked off. Although my head does feel a bit full, like slight pressure. Nothing too bad, but just feels weird. Well, I'm sure it's nothing. Good day!

Headache....... and neighbors.

I got this headache that won't go away. I just hope it doesn't turn into a migraine. I hate those, cause I can't even look at a screen or light or anything. Hopefully, once I go to bed, it will be gone in the morning.

My neighbors that are wall to wall with us, were arguing a while. First I heard them screaming at each other outside. The neighbors across the walkway were out there with them, probably trying to be the wall in between them. Then the guy's cussing up a storm and walks away into his apartment and slams the door. The girl walks the other way towards the pool, and I later see that she is in a swimsuit and her hair is all wet. But it's like past 11 PM already, so I don't know what's up with that, since the pool is already closed. So anyway, I can hear him slamming doors and whatever else he could probably get his hands on. Then it gets a bit quiet. Then they're outside again, and I'm hearing him say, "Don't start that! Don't start that!". Then the go back in there apartment and are arguing. I go in the bedroom and lean against the wall to listen. I know, I'm nosey, but whatever! I can't really hear anything, all I hear is the sliding door open and close, and him saying something like, "Don't go out the window..... don't go out the window!". Lol. I don't know what that was all about. I think if I'm correct, they live on the second floor. So then they're arguing again and I hear him saying something about the pool. But then he's like, "I just wanna talk! That's it..... I just wanna talk!". So then they calm down a bit and right now, it seems that they're cool now. Who knows. I can't wait till we get our home, so we don't have to worry about wall to wall neighbors. :)

1 Day Weekend

Well, at least that's what my 3 day weekend felt like. I can't believe how quick the weekend flew by. Now it's back to work.

Got a chance to play some Resident Evil on Saturday. I think I started playing around 8 or so, and didn't got to bed until 3 AM. Nice. Lol. I was really trying to beat the game, but I couldn't finish the very last boss. I had to fight him like 3 different times. It started to get annoying, cause it was like, "Why won't you just DIE!!!!". Lol. I was expecting him to pop up again for some reason even when the credits were rolling. No joke. That's exactly what it felt like. Like a bit too overdone with that. Whatever. So I went to bed a bit frustrated, cause I couldn't beat him. A big part of the problem was because of my partner who is controlled by the AI. It would have been so much easier had she stayed on one side of him and I the other, but no, she wants to follow right behind me the whole time. I can tell you this much, this game would have been so much easier had I played it with another person. Anyway, so I wake up the next morning and we're getting all ready to leave to go spend some time with Erin's family for Easter and I'm like, "Let me try one more time, before we leave". So I did and I'm almost dead when I get the final shot off on thim and it starts to go in to cinematics, which you pretty much you killed him. I was like, "Thank you, Jesus!" and Erin responded from the kitchen, "Did you just thank Jesus for beating a game?". What can I say. :) Even on the closing cinematic he pops up again and I have to quickly push buttons to shoot him. I was like "Seriously!?!?! Just DIE!!!". Geez. That game took a lot out of me. But it was a good game. Excellent graphics and I'm it would have been so much more fun with a "real" partner.

I'm starting to see previews for NCAA Football and Madden 2010. Sweet. Can't wait. Getting cravings to play already!

Easter Madness!!

So tomorrow is Good Friday and we will have the day off. Thanks Sugar Creek! But of course, with a day off, comes a day less to work. Which means, 5 days of work have to be crammed into 4 days. So you can imagine the madness. I stayed until 9:30 PM last night trying to get a lot done, and thankfully my beautiful wife came in to keep me company. Thanks, love! It's about 4:20 PM now, and it's finally got a bit calm. Of course, that's no guarantee that people won't come in here in between now and 5:30 PM and ask for last minute jobs. Hopefully not, but if they do, at least it's calm and quiet now.

Still playing SOCOM. We finished our season VII last week and I'm already looking forward to our next one. Still haven't beat Resident Evil 5. That game takes a lot out of me, so I just play it a little at a time. I have been getting back into FIFA 09 game. That's been a lot of fun. I guess I'm a seasonal person. Soccer season is getting underway here in the MLS so it gets me in the mood to play. I'm already starting to see things about NCAA Footbal 2010 and MADDEN 2010. Man, I'm ready for football season to start already!

Busy..

SUPER busy week. And to top it off, it's a short week. I pray that things run smoothly.

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! :)
