Movin' on up.

Well it seems my moving dilemma is over. On Thursday I got offered a job in Indianapolis. So I will be moving to Indy by the end of March. I still need to find a place down there, but hopefully I'll have something soon. I've been kind of looking around online at places, so I kind of have an idea of places to check out on Wednesday when I go down there.

It's cool that I'm moving, but also kind of scary. I haven't been this nervous in quite some time. I'm super excited though. Unlike last time when I moved down there, I feel I'm ready for it now. I don't think I was when I moved down there before. I do need a change in my life, which I have been bitching about for quite some time. Man this is going to be a crazy time. I'll be suer to make I keep this updated when I move, so some of the people I know can see what I'm up to, if they want.

I've got to keep looking for places to live, so I must go now.

It's not cool.

I think I'm going to turn into an asshole. Not literally, as that would be really gross. It seems that assholes always get away with the things that I would like to get away with, but since I'm a "nice" guy, I can't do it. Damn stupid conscience. Nevermind. I'm just in a bad mood. My damn stomach hurts, and I can't wait to get out of work. This working until 1am is for the birds. I am sure nothing good can come from it.

On to something more positive. I'm hopefully moving this weekend. I can't wait. Finally I can strut around my place naked and not care. Well I do that now, but I don't think my roomates like it. I especially don't think they'd like to know that I sit on practically everything naked (kidding, or am I???). Also it will be nice to be able to smoke in the heat, at least for the next two months. As soon as I get my new insurance carrier switched over it's quitting time. I am NOT looking forward to that.

I don't really have much to say tonight, but since I won't be back to post anything new for a few days, I figured I'd better say something. I feel like I'm cheating on myself when I don't post here.

So I need a plan for when I get out of work. I need something to do tonight that is fun. I was talking to a friend last night and realized that I don't remember the last time I had fun was. I honestly don't know when I had fun last. I thought it was sometime last week, but I'm not quite sure. So I need to have tonight. If anyone has any ideas and you read this in the next three hours, leave me with some ideas. Otherwise I'll just go home and wast the night watching crappy local TV.

I love this.

I love how I can tell what people are searching for when they hit this site. Some guy in Norway searched for the term "to drunk and shit", yes, spelled that way and somehow hit my site. Ah, the good times.

Also it has come to my attention that I have a multitude of irrational fears. And since I think most people would find them funny, I submit to you my list of fears. And yes, before you ask, all of the following things make me uncomfortable and/or scared.

Needles. Only hypodermic needles. I pass out whenever I get shots.
Pregnant women. I don't know why, but I get all nervous and weird around them.
Baseballs. When I played baseball I got hit in the head with more balls then a midget hooker. So now I'm scared to be around them.
Airplanes. This one I don't get. I have no problem with flying, but I just don't like planes. Helicopters are cool. This one just recently manifested itself.
People with really long hair. I'm scared they're going to get it caught in something.
Really pretty girls. I know it's dumb, but I'm very scared of them.


I think that about sums it up. I know more will develop in the next couple years, so whenever a new one does, I'll let you know.

Well.

Well it's been an eventful week. I've found a place to live, and will be moving soon. Remember the list I made last week of things I wanted to accomplish this week? I didn't think so, but now is the time to compare to see what I actually got done.

1. Start looking for a place to live. Need to have on in a month.
2. Call the place for computer classes and set up a meeting.
3. Get the giant stack of mail sitting on my desk opened and organized.
4. Make a couple CD copies of albums for people as spur of the moment presents.
5. Finally get the cajones to ask a girl out on a serious date. Which I have never done.
6. Go through the crap in my basement and see what is actually worth keeping.
7. Wake up everyday before 11am.
7 1/2. Finish reading that book you started in October.


Well I only got number one done. But oh well. That's been the most important one anyway. I'm going to go through all my crap in the basement tonight.

I did actually try and ask a girl out the other day. Of course she said no, which is why I never ask people out. So I am zero for about fifty lifetime now. That's a record that will stand.

Last night I got stuck watching religous TV. Sometimes I don't get organized religion at all. It doesn't seem to make any sense at all. I'd get into a rant right now, but I'm too tired to think out a good argument stating my case.

Oh the worst thing, since my company got bought out, they are changing the health plan. I now have to pay almost double for insurance now, since I smoke. I can't afford to spend that, so now I have to quit smoking. This really sucks. I don't want to quit. At all. So in the next month or so you'll see that I am getting really gumpy. Grumpier that usual.

Two hundred!

This is my 200th post in this little thing. I guess that's quite a bit.

Anyway, I'm back to being at about 90% healthwise. I'm only coughing a little bit, and I don't feel like death has taken residence in my head anymore. So I guess this is turning into a decent day. So far.

So I'm pondering on what I should do about my living situation. Should I move to Mishawaka/South Bend to be closer to work? Or should I stay in Elkhart and be close to friends? Or try and find a job in Elkhart and stay there? Or should I just try and get the hell out of this area, and completely start anew? So many things to try and figure out in the next month.

I guess I do have a lot of things to think about. Man this is going to be a rough month.

Hmmm.

So I'm still sick. It's been twelve days now. It doesn't help that I only slept for about an hour last night, but it's kind of hard to sleep when you coughing up things that look like escargot all night. So I laid in bed all night and day coughing. Let me tell you how much fun that is.

Is there anything else new in my life? Well Thursday I hung out all night with the three members of the "octagon." At once. All at the same table. It was one of the most awkward moments of my life. Then when I was leaving the bar I was at, I glanced over at the car next to me, and saw two people doing the nasty in the back seat. I was parked right in front of the bar. It's not like I was parked far away or anything. I mean around twenty feet from the front door. You got to love hillbilly Indiana that I live in. Only here can you get a free porn show. But it's a porn show of people you don't really want to see. It took me a little while to figure who the two people were, but they're not anyone I want to see naked ever.

Other than that what else is new? Well, there have a couple other things of note. It was a year ago today that I tried to off myself. So I guess today is kind of a celebration of sorts. Not really a birthday, but I guess it'd be a deathday. So what have I accomplished in the last year to better myself? Pretty much not a damn thing. I'm still where I was a year ago. Miserable. Well I do have good days, which I didn't have then. But they are pretty far between. I think I'm having one today, but between being sick and getting only an hour of sleep, I can't really tell. I'll have to talk it over with my talkie friend. She'll know what to say. I always feel better after I talk to her.

So do end this post now? I'm kind of liking sitting here and typing. It's been a while since I had a meaningful post. Other than my usual self depreciating comments and rants, and the few joke posts I place here.

Here's an idea (can you see my attention jumping all over the place?) I'll make a list, a serious one, of seven things I want to accomplish in the next week. Next Saturday I'll compare and see what I actually accomplished.

1. Start looking for a place to live. Need to have on in a month.
2. Call the place for computer classes and set up a meeting.
3. Get the giant stack of mail sitting on my desk opened and organized.
4. Make a couple CD copies of albums for people as spur of the moment presents.
5. Finally get the cajones to ask a girl out on a serious date. Which I have never done.
6. Go through the crap in my basement and see what is actually worth keeping.
7. Wake up everyday before 11am.
7 1/2. Finish reading that book you started in October.

So next week we'll see what I've actually accomplished. I hope that I will be able to all of the them in the next week, and have some sort of feeling of accomplishment. The only feeling of accomplishment I have had in the past year is that I haven't accomplished anything, which is a actually quite hard. Slacking takes a lot of work, and making up excuses as to why you never did anything. It's very taxing on the mind.

Oh and I need to shake this damn cold.

Last note of the day.

It appears I have re-found my adulation to punk rock. It's all I can listen to these days. I've missed out on the last ten years, and they're is some really great stuff out there now.

Super B!

Still.

Not feeling much better. My typing is starting to suffer also. I haven't been able to type a word all day without a screw up in it. OK, after this sentence I will re-type this paragraph without correcting.

Not feeling much better.my typibg ius startiug to suffer alsol ui haveb;e been ablr to typoe a woirk all day with out a scewo ip in it. OJ., afetr this sentenme i will re-type this paragrapfdh withoutj cvortttechjt.

See what I mean? I'm all sorts of stupid today. I think my brain is broke. What's the coolest thing I can think of? Roast beef. Yeah, my brain is definitely broke.

What shall it be?

I'm sick. Instead of thinking I have a common cold, I have decided it would be more fun if I had some sort of exotic disease. Seeing as how I missed out on SARS, I've decided to pretend I'm really sick. So I now present to you a list of what I could have.

1. Bubonic Plague
2. Dengue Fever
3. Bird Flu (you knew it would make an appearance)
4. West Nile Virus
5. Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (Mad Cow Disease)
6. Cat Scratch Fever (yes it's real, look here)
7. Hysterical Pregnancy
8. Leprosy
9. Hanta Virus

So there's the list. Leave a comment with what you think I may have. Whatever it is it's not very fun. Amazing what looking at the CDC web site will make you think you have.
