Alive! Alive! Alive with love, alive with love tonight…

haha, I love that song. "I want to do you … right where your standing" … haha classic. I love it, but I already said that … errr …. moving on!

So what’s new with OzweegoVille(me also) …. well … I got off work early today for a change and I didn’t accomplish anything with all the extra free time I had. How sad is that? I can’t tell you how nice, but weird, it’s been with this extra time. I’m not bored yet and I don’t really see a bored day in sight, at least not for a while. Don’t get me wrong, my days are filled with useless activities, but such activities I haven’t done in eons. It’s weird because for once I’m not always doing something. When I get off work, I always ask myself "ok, so what next?". I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing yet ….

I think tomorrow when I get off work I will be cleaning my room. The only reason is so I can find my massive hard drive with all of my backups on it. HAHA, don’t tell anybody but all of my backups are somewhere lost under a pile of clothes. Somewhere …. *scratches head* … no clue where though.

Earlier I said I didn’t accomplish anything. Well, nothing of "real world" importance, I did however get cedega installed, and I’m currently working on moving all of my things off my windows box and once finished feel I can completely done with windows. I finally was able to get mythtv going and it looks like swishmax will work with wine as well. *does happy dance*. I am really learning ….

I only say all this becuase these are the useless activities that I haven’t had the time to do in forever but have always wanted to do. Move to linux … get all my backups going, work on my website ect …

Anywho …

Today when I got off work, I came home and ever since bill came back to us, I usually check his cage to make sure he hasn’t pulled a hoodini. Well today he did, and freaked out at the thought I was going to wake up in the middle of the night with a lizard on my chest I called Jess. I opened the top of the cage and sure enough, hoodini himself was just relaxing at the top … right above the heating lamp …. haha. Almost as if to say to me, uh yea, this is the lizard resort up top! So I scooted him back into the cage.

Needless to say he’s doing well, very well. Especially considering I thought he was going to die when we found him the FIRST time, and then especially thought he was a goner the SECOND time.

Sometimes I think he’s a good luck charm, other times I look at him, and the roads that he’s traveled in life I sit and laugh, think to myself he’s a sign. Oddly enough, … usually a single thought crosses my mind by a very funny man; Dennis Leary.

Yea that’s right! I used a bloody semi-colon. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

<blockquote>
God.. "I’m just not happy. I’m just not happy. I’m just not happy because my life didn’t turn out the way I thought it would." Hey! Join the fucking club, ok!? I thought I was going to be the starting center fielder for the Boston Red Socks. Life sucks, get a fucking helmet, allright?! "I’m not happy. I’m not happy." Nobody’s happy, ok!? Happiness comes in small doses folks. It’s a cigarette, or a chocolate cookie, or a five second orgasm. That’s it, ok! You cum, you eat the cookie, you smoke the butt, you go to sleep, you get up in the morning and go to fucking work, ok!? That is it! End of fucking list! "I’m just not happy." Shut the fuck up, allright? That’s the name of my new book, "Shut the Fuck Up, by Doctor Denis Leary. A revolutionary new form of therapy." I’m gonna have my patients come in. "Doctor, I.." "Shut the fuck up, next!" "I don’t feel so.." "Shut the fuck up, next!" "He made me feel so much better about myself, you know? He just told me to shut the fuck up and nobody had ever told me that before. I feel so much better now." Whining fucking maggots.
</blockquote>

You’re what keeps me believing this world’s not gone dead

<blockquote>
YouÂ’re what keeps me believing this worldÂ’s not gone dead
Strength in my bones and the words in my head
They pour out to paper, it’s all for you
‘Cause thatÂ’s what you do
Thats what you do.
</blockquote>
It was just by pure luck that I ran into this amazing song. By a band called "Say Anything". I originally knew this band because of the song alive with the glory of love(great song by the way). Speaking of which, my next misses, has to love this song. Back on topic …. I went to their myspace page, and started to listen to music, then I went to their website and this song started to play. It’s great, and has been on repeat ever since….. It’s called I want to know your plans by Say anything.

Great great song.

Like yesterday, definitely captures the mood.

So … besides a few things here and there, I finally finished up my rss feed. Until I get my RSS certified banners up, and in the address bar(coming tommorow) you’ll have to settle for the .xml link:

http://ozweegoville.com/rssFeed.xml

It was a pain in the butt … I had it done(well 99%) of it done, but when I put it through the validator it complained becuase I wasn’t using RFC-822 time …

So after a while of fiddling with it, an hour of research, I gave up and decided to use date(‘r’) and call it a night. THEN, the guid has to be unique! Oh dear … and in the url field it didn’t like the anchor symbol(#).

/shrug.

Oh well .. it’s up and running…. tomorrow I’ll put on the final touches.

As for today. Today was pretty good I guess. I got to work late becuase the lightrail was running 15 minutes behind. HAH. Try 45 minutes …. it was also scott’s birthday, so we went to eat at this place called little india. I had never been nor have I ever heard it, but we went and it was darn tasty. Fried spinach was amazing …. sooo good ….

I’ve been chowing down on chedderwursts and this new drink called enviga. It’s a new green tea that’s got a little punch. Overall, it’s been a great day, and the fact that I’m still alive, it’s one day closer to friday … and the world has not gone dead, that’s a pretty good feeling.

Don’t you think?

I want to know your plans
And how involved in them I am
When you leave for good this fall
Will I be forgiven?
And if you want roses, I’ll buy a bouquet
If that just won’t cut it, well what can I say?

YouÂ’re what keeps me believing this worldÂ’s not gone dead
Strength in my bones and the words in my head
They pour out to paper, it’s all for you
‘Cause thatÂ’s what you do
Thats what you do.

I want to know your fears,
And if you’ll forget me next year
And when the jets go up and out
Will your heart stay here?
If you could forgive me, for being so brash
Well you, you could hit me or whip me
Oh IÂ’d savor each lash

YouÂ’re what keeps me believing the worldÂ’s not gone dead
Strength in my bones and words in my head
they pour out to paper, its all for you
‘Cause thatÂ’s what you do
No more fighting it is only a waste of our time
’cause soon weÂ’ll be leavin
Will this strength still be mine?

I’ll look out for you,
‘Till I die, ’till I rot
Oh I’ll remember you,
‘Till I die, ’till I rot

YouÂ’re what keeps me believing the worldÂ’s not gone dead
Strength in my bones and the words in my head
they pour out to paper, its all for you

YouÂ’re what keeps me believing the worldÂ’s not gone dead
Strength in my bones and words in my head
they pour out to paper, its all for you
‘Cause that’s what you do…

Be my savior and I’ll be your downfall

"Only love can save us now …
Lay it down
I’ve always been with you
Hear me now
With all that’s within you
Be my savior
And I’ll be your downfall
mmm, mmm, mmm"

ABC(this is suppose to be the opposite of PS)
**subscribe to the blog**, shoot me an email, leave me comments. I have over 1000 page hits in the past 2 weeks, and yet I hardly have anything. I need some loving …

Sometimes in life you just need a little inspiration. Heck, sometimes in life all you need is just a little motivation. Which I need more of at the moment right now, I’m not quite sure.

Here it is, midnight and I think it’ll be yet another sleepless night. I think this month of February I’ve gotten one good nights sleep … I don’t know why. Everytime my head hits the pillow it seems like my brain starts to kick it in overdrive. Whether it’s about finances, the next six months of my life and how grueling they’ll be. Or just life. It’s really weird, I have all flipping day to think and at work I space, at home I space, but when it comes to bedtime, *poof*. I usually only sleep a few hours each night which is weird because this is how I normally am, but the past year or two, I’ve had very peaceful(relatively of course) night’s sleep.

/sigh.

I had my ipod on shuffle today, and this song stopped me dead in my tracks. Such a great song … I wish Matchbox20 was still together. "Only love can save us now … " … "Don’t save me now"…. "I wonder how you sleep, I wonder if you even think of me" … Something about that stuck out in my head for some reason.

Great song, and furthermore I think it captures the mood to the "T". Good times …

I should be going to bed now, but I just finished up an RSS feed for my website. /shrug. I always wanted to be the old guy who never conformed to the norm, however cassie *demanded* it. Seriously, gun aimed directly towards my head. I think you’d code up an RSS feed too if she had a gun to YOUR head! Well, it’s pretty much done, minus a few things … and when it’s complete I’ll post it. Probably sometime by noon or so tomorrow. We’ll see how motivated or inspired I am. I would have done it earlier but to be honest, I’ve only heard of them, and never really knew what they were used for. So I had to read a couple wiki’s on it, and sure enough, piece of cake. I think it took longer to read about it then it did to write the code.

Now for testing … oh dear.

I should be going to bed now .. but here is a little survey I filled out(again, gun to the head, I’d do what she says!).

Here is the song, then the survey.

Amazing song … and like I said earlier. I would have to say that if there is ever a time where your wondering what’s going through my mind, I think this captures it.

Peace, I’m outta here …

Matchbox 20 Lyrics ~ Downfall

Wonder how you sleep
I wonder what you think of me
If I could go back
Would you have ever been with me
I want you to be unused
I want you to remember
I want you to believe in me
I want you on my side

[Chorus]

Come on and lay it down
I’ve always been with you
Here and now
Give all that’s within you
Be my savior
And I’ll be your downfall
mmm, mmm, mmm

Here we go again
Ashamed of being broken in
We’re getting off track
I wanna get you back again
I want you to trouble me
I wanted you turning down
I want you to agree with me
I want so much so bad

[Chorus]

Come on and lay it down
I’ve always been with you
Here and now
Give all that’s within you
Be my savior
And I’ll be your downfall
mmm, mmm, mmm

Yeah, be my savior
(Only love can save us now)
(Don’t lay me down)
(Only love can save us now)
I’ll be your downfall (I’ll be your downfall)
(Ah, love can save us now)
(Don’t save me now)

Lay it down
I’ve always been with you
Hear me now
With all that’s within you
Be my savior
And I’ll be your downfall
mmm, mmm, mmm

Now I’m back on my own
Hear my feet, they’re made of stone
Man, I make you go where I go
Well hell, you, can I take you home
Well, I’m coming home on my back
Kissing me, your lips painted black
Saying Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Let me be your downfall
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Let me be your downfall, baby

I should probably start off by saying that Dan sucks at basketball. :) He got schooled by a nerdy geeky dude(aka me) on more than one occasion.

Sorry Dan. <3.

We went to D&B friday night. That was odd, first time I’ve seen him >= a decade. We tried going to a few bowling ally’s but they were all full. It was pretty cool …

Why I’m posting this now I have no clue …

Anywho … this weekend I got alot of crap done. haha, NOT. I did a little work, I got alot done on configuring my linux box. I downloaded WINE and was just testing it out. *does happy dance* got winzip to work. haha. Next is going to be WoW. Doh!

So here is what I got so far …

<center><a href=http://www.ozweegoville.com/Chron/images/MyDesktop.jpg target=_new><img src=http://www.ozweegoville.com/Chron/images/MyDesktop.jpg border=0 width=350></a></center>

I think if I can get wow to work, I may end up making the switch. Besides WoW, I only need firefox, ftp, notepad, thunderbird, chat and I’m sure I’m missing something …

All of which I have, and I installed kubuntu so I would have a fairly large community to grow off of.

I need to, at work the guys there all use unix based systems. I know shit about shit when it comes to unix/linux. I know how to do basic stuff, cd, ls, haha … but that’s even before basic. I’m now quite comfortable with <i>sudo apt-get install everything</i>. hehe … for those that do not know what that is, don’t worry, me neither ….

So yea … it’s been nice this weekend. I didn’t get alot done which is good. Made it seem like the weekend took alot longer than it actually did. I went out, ran my errands and came back home. Funny thing is with all this extra free time I have, I haven’t played hardly any video games. I’m really starting to enjoy my time off and relax. Really get back into coding which is what I really miss. Now that I’m getting back into it, WoW has somewhat taken a back burner. Eventually I’ll get back into it, but not before I finish everything that I’ve been postponing …

So I spoke to my mom today. That’s one thing that I’m doing better is communicating between myself and the family… My mom is really stoked for our family reunion in New York. /shrug. /sigh. /grumble. /insert something else here. I am excited to go to New York again and see everybody, but another reason we are going is to be there for my Grandparents 50th Anniversary. So … besides the family reunion, she’s also stoked to the new family member thats now inhabited my bedroom.

Everybody … say hello to kaylee.(mom spells it weird, I’ll spell it normally).
<a href=http://www.ozweegoville.com/kaylee.jpg target=_new><img src=http://www.ozweegoville.com/kaylee.jpg border=0 width=350></a>

So that’s a picture of a picture. With all the technology that occupies my desk space, not a scanner in sight. Pathetic right? Anywho …

That’s my picture of a picture. The one I’m holding that looks like a reverse skunk, that’s Kaylee. In the background, is my poor lexi lou that passed away … and Max right next to her. Max wouldn’t leave her side while she was sick …

/sigh.

So yea … that was my weekend/day. Pretty exciting huh? I thought so too! So … right now I’ve got Hinder(lips of an angel) playing, but for right now, the song of the day easily goes to Stone Sour(Through Glass)

Through Glass lyrics

I’m looking at you through the glass…
Don’t know how much time has passed
Oh god it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home sitting all alone inside your head

How do you feel? That is the question
But I forget.. you don’t expect an easy answer
When something like a soul becomes
Initialized and folded up like paper dolls and little notes
You cant expect a bit of hope
And while your outside looking in
Describing what you see
Remember what your staring at is me

Cause I’m looking at you through the glass…
Don’t know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head

How much is real? So much to question
An epidemic of the mannequins
Contaminating everything
When thought came from the heart
It never did right from the start
Just listen to the noises
(No more sad voices)
Before you tell yourself
Its just a different scene
Remember its just different from what you’ve seen

I’m looking at you through the glass…
Don’t know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head

And its the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That shine for you
And its the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That lie to you.. yeah-ah

I’m looking at you through the glass…
Don’t know how much time has passed
Oh god it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head

Cause I’m looking at you through the glass…
Don’t know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever
feels like home, sitting all alone inside your heaaaaddd

And its the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That shine for you.. yeah-ah
And its the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That lie to you.. yeah-ah

And its the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That shine for you.. yeah-ah
And its the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That lie to you.. yeah-ah yeah

Ohhhoh the starrs
Ohhh oh the starrrrs that liieee

For old times sake ….

Hmmmmm. Somewhat of an un-eventful day. I didn’t do a whole lot, but I was able to get my laptop reconfigured with it’s new LCD …. and i took my bike out for a quick stroll. I really can’t wait until summer comes. I want to go to the mountains for the weekend and go camping, bike riding. Just catch up on a little R&R.

I’m pretty tired, and really need to head to bed. I think Im just going to let itunes play all night like the night before.

Music is awesome. lol … and an awesome song just came on …

It’s been a while since I’ve heard this song, and for old times sake I figured I’d post it again, singing at the top of my lungs …. so if you have a beer, water, oj, whatever’s your poison of choice, hold it high and let go …

Oh yeah.
All right.

Somebody’s Heine’ is crowdin’ my icebox
Somebody’s cold one is givin’ me chills
Guess I’ll just close my eyes

Oh yeah
Alright
Feels good
Inside

Flip on the tele’
Wrestle with Jimmy
Something is bubbling
Behind my back
The bottle is ready to blow

Say it ain’t so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain’t so
My love is a lifetaker

I can’t confront you
I never could do
That which might hurt you
So try and be cool
When I say
This way is a waterslide away from me that takes you further every day (hey)
So be cool

Say it ain’t so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain’t so
My love is a lifetaker

Dear Daddy,
I write you in spite of years of silence.
You’ve cleaned up, found Jesus,
things are good or so I hear.
This bottle of Steven’s
awakens ancient feelings.
Like father, stepfather, the son is drowning in the flood.

Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

Say it ain’t so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain’t so
My love is a lifetaker
