Haven’t updated in several days now and thought it would be a good time to catch up. As I am sure almost all of my friends know, Erika has been out of town since Wednesday. She doesn’t come back in until tomorrow night. I miss her. Its funny how one can be attatched to a person so greatly and not even begin to comprehend how much they really mean to you until they are out of your life for even a small amount of time. I will be glad to see her tomorrow.
Thanksgiving was good. Got to see family that I haven’t in quite some time. My Aunt Jill and Uncle Dave came in town from New Mexico. My cousin Shannon was supposed to come, but because her daughter was sick, she was unable to make the trip from West Palm. I don’t believe I have seen her in a few years now, and it would have been nice to see her again. Hopefully she is doing well, and her daughter gets well soon.
As far as I go, I have been bored out of my mind the last day or so. To the point where I have nearly lost my mind. How do I get out of this boredom you ask? Thats right, take apart my powerbook (even the screen) and do a case mod. Right now I have all of the case parts drying from the paint I used. With any luck it will be dry by the time I get home and ready for me to put the gloss finish on it. Then I can wait for that to dry and piece it back together. Crossing my fingers the whole while that it works once I have gotten it re-assembled. I feel confident that it will work, and on top of that, the paint job on it dosen’t look half bad. In fact, I am impressed with the work I have done, but I don’t want to jinx myself, so i will leave it at that.
Sitting at work right now, waiting to get home. I have a lot of things I need to do before Erika gets back. I want her to feel special when she gets back.

Another Iron Bowl, and another game finished.
Lovely outcome
Fantastic game
War Eagle

So it is that time of year again. Christmas? no.

birthday

I am ready to leave. I think my small vacation of a day tomorrow is much needed. I just want to get away from work for a little while. Lately it has been too busy to enjoy.
I only wish it were not cloudy tonight. The Leonids meteor shower is tonight. I suppose I will have to wait until the 22nd of December for the Ursid meteor shower. Which just so happens to also occur on the Winter Solstice. Go figure.

Oh come on steve, get off the phone. I just want to go home to see my lady. I just want to be there for her. I just want to see her before she goes to sleep.
Oh come on! Test the damn lines, and come on. I am going to be stuck here forever, aren’t I?
At least I have this $75,000 server to post from. Thats really sad. All of this money put into a server stack and I am going to use it to post a journal entry. Thank you work!

Bret’s place was actually quite fun yesterday. The games yesterday were nothing to talk about but that didn’t matter. Anyhow, Bret, had a great time, if you aren’t doing anything this Saturday then you should come over to the apartment and we can watch the big game.

Went to the Capri tonight and saw Thirteen. Crazy movie, but I can see why it had such rave reviews and the critics love it. Especiall seeing how the person that co-wrote it was only that old as well.

I have gone Mac crazy and want to mod my powerbook. I am losing my mind, but it is great.

Going to Bret’s to catch the Alabama game. Very upset with the outcome of the Auburn game, but c’est la vie.

I haven’t been the same today. Someting is wrong with me. I couldn’t put my finger on it if I had to, but I am not doing well. I have been short with people, I have been the person I hate. I think Erika is mad at me, but I am giving her the silent treatment for no reason. Why am I doing this? If only there were a way to fix this. I think the only thing I want right now is to have a beer and conversation. I don’t know.
