So many thoughts …

So it’s been a while since I’ve last posted. Since then I’ve had so many thoughts, so many ideas for journal entries that I thought the fanclub would like to read. However, for whatever reason I havn’t been able to sit down and write which is a diffrent story. On day one of my day off I actually came home and slept. Yes, slept. I havn’t had the self-motivation to actually sleep however I did it! Yes, what a revelation. Anywho … second day off we watched frailty. Excellent movie. Excellent movie. Oh yea, and then I slept. It’s unbeilevable how much better one feels when we sleep!

So I’m not entirely sure what else to put here. I got my car washed so she’s nice and purty. Wow … I’m not entirely sure what else to say. I think for once I am honestly mute… and for good reason too.

For once I am truly happy with every aspect of life.

Take Care,

Time …

So I’ve finally gathered enough time to go ahead and write in my journal. It’s only been a few days however it feels as if it’s been weeks. Well, just to update my fanclub. Things are going exceptionally well. As for my social life of course it’s been better then… err better :) Me and jo are doing very well. We usually find time to go out to eat as often as possible together. Just me and her. Then the excellent about our relationship is that everybody enjoys each other’s company! I enjoy hers and she(hopefully) hehe enjoys mine. On top of that, my roomates don’t have a problem inviting her over to watch movies with us! I like to watch movies in groups like that. It gives me and everybody that matter just time to sit back and relax. I like that. Time spent with jo and my roomates is limited becuase of school and work however the time spent with any of the above is excellent. I honestly couldn’t ask for anything better right now.

Work … errr .. work is work. However I did end up getting some time alone with me and my boy. My gameboy advanced that is! "Ah thank you" ~ Austin Powers. hehe, anywho … I bought some fun games and it makes work go by exceptionally fast. That and of course that jo comes to visit me for lunch. Usually me, jo and my roomate jess go to lunch 3 out of 5 days. We go to mcdonalds or even chipolte. Chipolte has burritos the size of my pillows and we get them at a good discount becuase we work for dish. It’s an awesome deal either way. Good food and company.

You’d be surprised how much my love for movies has grown over the last year and a half. I usually buy previously viewed dvd’s at a huge discounted price. Not regularly but enough. Its my peace of mind. My safehaven to watch movies and just to relax. Type on my computer. You know … the normal. It’s a good thing though that everybody around me shares my passions. I think for once I absolutly love where I’m at.

Anyways … back to work. My day goes by faster now with my gameboy. I play pacman, tetris etc … Also I play madden 2004. Football. Cannot go wrong with football! As for work my supivisor told me that he has never written an annual review for anybody like mine. He said in the past 5 years he’s never given anybody a 5 on their review however I earned 2! Doesn’t sound like anything but it’s still a good deal … I can expect 50cents up to 2$ pay raise. On top of that, I hear you can be promoted on your annual review. Everybody’s review is coming up in February wether you’ve been with the company for 6 months or 10 years. My end goal would be a QA Specialist. Monitoring phone calls making sure people are doing their jobs, or working for command center. I outscored alot of the people the last time I went for that position however I didn’t have enough experience within the company so I didn’t get the job the first time. Bleh. Oh well … my time is coming. I had to learn this the hard way with the ladies. hehe, Oh well. Be patient and the rewards will come back 10 fold I suppose.

As for school … I can’t remember a time when I was this excited to wake up at 7 in themorning to go to an early programming class. Well, minus my first day of school mind you. These classes are so fasinating. I have a real feeling of excitment and on top of that a real sense of challenge! My goal is to learn as much as I can with directX in order to make great things. The possibilities are endless with directX. Not just with video games. It’s weird. I am taking a bachelors level class using a 600+ page book with other bachelor level students. On the other hand I am also taking intro classes with students that have never even attended my school ever. So it’s really intresting looking at the students. Seeing where I once was and to where I am. Want a taste for he classes I have to take?
– 3D Game Animation
– Introduction to Game Development
– Game Analysis & Playability

My 3D Game Animation is my tough class. My other two classes I thought would be SOMEWHAT cheesy but they are actually pretty intresting classes. We’ll see. I havn’t taken to many of these classes yet however I am at the point where I want to be at school right now. I think I’m so excited is because I am actually able to program real Win32 Applications rather then dos based. Very very intresting feeling. I’m not speaking VB style programming either. Hard Coding in Win32. Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up! Ok … I’m a code monkey, what can I say?

I should be going though. I am trying to think up new versions of OzweegoVille. And of course I need to do somehomework. It’s 1 Oclock, and I havn’t even started. Oh yea, did I forget to mention I have to wake up at 7am? Hmmm …. hehe …

Jeff Golbloom

Sometimes I feel like Jeff Golbloom, well at least I think that’s how you spell his name anyways. Why you ask? Just sitting here typing away on my laptop everytime makes me think of him uploading the virus. "Do they know what’s about to happen to them? not a clue … haha … goodbye adios, I aint heard no fat lady!". Hehe. Anyways, I’m just sitting here. I bought a large milkshake from McDonalds. These things are so good however my cheeks hurt from sucking on this straw for so long. Oh but it’s sooo good!

Anywho …

nothing to big to talk about. Oh wait … nevermind I lied. -15 degrees here in denver. Yes, that’s right, -15. Even less with the windshield I do beileve. So not a big deal …. or is it? So lets see here. More time to prepare for the harsh weather. My doors were frozen shut. Almost ten minutes to carefully open them. Windshield wiper fluid. Supposidly only able to freeze at 0 degrees farenheit. So yea… dirty windows. Breathe frozen on the INSIDE of my windsheild. My throat hurt after taking only two breathes of the crip, cold air ….

brrrr….

Anywho …. The new mars expedition was a sucess! I don’t recall ever being so excited or happy about anything like this ever. An 8 megabyte picture that was sent back from the surveyor. Took quite some time to load but I got it!

Should be going now … see you all alter

Hmmm …… I wonder

So I’m sitting here. Listening to some music … and realise. Hey kc, you know your the only one out of the gang who even updates, writes or modifies his/her website/ blog. Well… Other then one. The poker player. However ironically enough I’ve never met the gentleman. Mutual friend. Odd eh? So I’m looking through my logs. Wow, pretty huge. I didn’t realise people still came here. 14-24 people a day. Quite a fanbase considering my site isn’t really posted anywhere. So whois my faithful fanclub? I see people from AUSTRIA, clovis, portales, denver, new york, canada and san antonio. San antonio? canada? I wonder why they even come by … Hehe. That’s cool I suppose. What ever floats your boat. I’ve been so caught up in my life I’ve yet to block out certain IP’s. I don’t even care who reads this. Well actually I do. Some people I would rather not come here but anyways … whatever this journal is more less for myself. I’ve been so caught up in life I don’t have alot of time to do much of anything. Hopefully that will change, or maybe not … It hasn’t registered yet that the last few weeks have been awesome. Well with the holidays and all. I’ve only had to go to work. Wake up and go to work. Sleep, wake up and go to work. Watch 3-4 movies EVERY night …

Speaking of which. I have 60+ movies! It’s kind of hard to beileve that I have that many but my dvd collection is rapidly growing. It went on a freeze for about 4 months but with christmas and the holidays that’s always a good gift to get me. Hehe.

Speaking of which.. a few no name movies that I’ve seen that are actually really really good! First one is imposter. I think I may have already mentioned it however I’m not quite sure and I’m to lazy to check previous entries. So it was about alien espenioge(sp?). I liked it. A cheesy sci-fi horror. Speaking of sci-fi horror we watched phantoms(sp?) Geez, I really need to be an english major. I need to re-learn how to spell. Anyways, both were good cheesy movies. My next dvd I want to get is dude where’s my car. Hehe, that movie is so halarious. Also the pest. Yes yes … I can’t wait.

Act like you got some sense … and you might get a little bit of this money ….

We try to take it slow
But we’re still losin control
And we try to make it work
But it still isn’t the worst
And I’m craaazzzy

HA!! I hope your life is as great as mine is right now ….

New Years Resolution

So it’s about 3:00am in the morning. For some reason my roomate is cooking spaghetti. Yes I know. It’s 3 oclock in the morning! Technically it’s a new day .. is it not? I’m trying to be a little more … how do we say … productive when it comes to my journal. The more and more that I write the better I can test out my huge database! I’m trying to see the bounds in which it can operate, hmmm … what’s the word I’m looking for. I’m trying to find the limitations in which it operates smoothly. That is the ultimate goal I suppose. And obviously to write down what I am thinking/feeling at this very point in time. I’ve contemplated bringing out my old journal and using and putting it into an "archive" but you know what … that would be pointless. I read through it .. such horrible thoughts that I’ve thought and drempt. I don’t want to ever re-live those. So it’s a good idea that I just put those away. In fact I am thinking about closing and removing all of my entries from my diaryland account. I do thank diaryland for their patience with me. They are definetly a reliable online journal as well as customizable. I like them alot …

Speaking of which …

I probably already stated all of the neat things I’ve done with my fish tank already. But guys … I’m so happy now. Not that I wasn’t before but wow. It’s seems so peaceful just to stare at the water. I often find myself wondering if I was a fish how happy I’d be, obviously with the right people … aka fish in the tank with me. They don’t have to worry about anything. Well other then food issues but I’ve done a good job keeping them nice and fat, meaning I probably over feed them .. hehe.. That’s ok though. I’d rather feed them a tad bit too much then not enough. They all seem to become more active. Going to the surface more and more and also just coming about, being more energetic. I’ve oxegenated the water about 10x then what it was before, the filtration system keeps the water sparkling clean and of course jo helped me arranging the plants in the tank. Hehe … it’s so deep, well … it’s twice as tall as a normal 10 gallon tank. Basically it’s two stacked on top of each other. Anywho … lets just say it’s enough to get your sleeves throughouly drenched :) hehe. I do thank her though. She helped me arrange all of it. I probably would still be working on it had it not been for her. I think I appreciate her far more then I admit to. Which is in itself wrong but manageable. She knows it. Hopefully.

I’m just staring, lost in thought at my fish tank. No skinny dipping it says. Hehe. Also I’ve only lost two fish out of the entire six months I’ve had my fish tank. Not a bad feat seeing as the fish in the tank that died were not healthy to begin with. I probably should take better notice in the fish I select. Fat ones are obese and skinny ones … well never get skinny fish. But anyways, I have sucker fish sucking on my no skinny dipping sign. Me and jo were joking that I should get a "RIP" and put it in the corner somewhere. Why you ask? Well I put in snail shells, two to be exact, in my tank for "looks" However they were once live snails that for some reason died. Don’t ask me how. Well actually one from old age and the other .. well truthfully I think he was dead when I bought him. Oh well though. I feel bad but it’s life I suppose. But we were joking to put the shells in a "snail graveyard" hehe. I thought it was a good idea. Maybe tonight or tommorow I will post some pictures of my new fishtank. It was a great way to bring in the new year. Me and my roomates. JO. Peaceful community and something incredibly relaxing to fall asleep to. However we didn’t becuase we had plenty of movies to watch! Anyways … I’m getting off topic.

Back to my fishtank. I am going to get up early in the morning and go buy some more fish. The top of the tank is sparkling clean with no fish in it. All of my fish are bottom dwellers meaning they NEVER go to the top. Well except for a couple. hehe. Magnum. Magnum is my bala shark. Basically he is a silver fish about 3 inches long and has a beautiful shiny black fin with white strips on it. Gorgeous fish. I’m thinking about buying some mollies in the morning. They give birth to live fishies! I’m pretty excited ….

Grrrr ….. my spaghetti is ready. Meaning I have to leave. If I leave and do not finish posting my laptop will hibernate and I will not get to finish my posting. So I figure I will leave it at that. I know .. I was suppose to type out my new years resolution however that just does not appear to be happening today. Maybe tommorow … or maybe the next? Or maybe whenever we meet again? Who knows. Untill then take care all.

Bye,
Casey
