What a day.What a great start to the weekend and it’s only 2am on Friday night/Saturday Morning.I’m just trying to unwind a bit before I head to bed.I got into work this morning and a message from my boss saying I can remove the "Jr." from my title. No longer am I a Jr Software Developer but a Software Developer. I’m not sure why but it made my day. I think because I’m coming into my own now. The more code I create, and the more problems I solve, and even more bugs I create I gain more and more confidence at work. It was a good feeling to say the least. I’m not sure why either, I think because it was completely out of the blue that made it genuine. Regardless, it was awesome.We had recieved free food from miss shigley. Jimmy Johns is awesome, and I’m addicted to their bread. Weird right? I know, I thought so too. …

I accidentally made a boo boo which caused me to force myself to update the site prematurely. /sighThis morning when I woke up I couldn’t move. I couldn’t see straight, I had a huge headache and I couldn’t … well I couldn’t do much of anything normally so I called in to work sick today.I stayed in bed until about 10 or so, and decided I was starving. By this point I was heavenly drugged and probably shouldn’t have driven but I was feeling perky. I went to my old stomping grounds at Broe to eat(at choppers). Great food …Afterwards I came home and slept for a bit. Towards the end of the day I went to kick the soccer ball around. The fresh air did me good. I didn’t push myself too hard.Now here I am. I’m going to head to bed here pretty soon.There will be many tweaks in the next few weeks/months with ozweegoville.Stayed tuned!Oh, and checkout …

Today was a pretty good day, so wasn’t this weekend. I did alot of sleeping and re-couping. Well, I tried to anyways …Yesterday I decided to get back on the bike. Bad Idea. I couldn’t get out of bed without my throat burning, my head spinning and my throat and sinuses clogged. I get on my bike only to bonk at the top of the hill outside of my apartment. Oh god, it’s going to be a long ride … I get just outside the park and meet up with a bunch of old timers and we race to the other side of the park. I came in a very close second, but at that point I wanted to pass out. No Lie. Sad thing is it was only 4 miles out …I was completely wasted. I couldn’t go any farther. I turned around and came home. On the way home, oh boy did I labor to get home. Funny …

It’s my hope that when the 2010 World Cup comes around in 3 years, that I’ll look back on today and reflect.Today we won the Gold Cup and it was a nail biter for sure.I think we did very well. It was great to see the hustle and bustle of everybody. It’s amazing to see how different the style of play from the international level of Americans and others. We play more physical and faster. It’s just a matter time before our technical game and finishing sharpens up.Anyways, there was alot more that I wanted to post, but I think I’ve jotted enough down that in 3 years I’ll reflect.

I haven’t posted in only a few days, and yet it feels like forever and a day ago. I’ve been working alot, and of course there has been soccer, the occasional days where I’ve come home and went straight to bed, or stayed up all night programming my new page. <a href=http://www.ozweegoville.com/oz.html target=_NEW>You can find it here</a>. It’s not done yet, and I won’t be releasing it until it’s 100% ready to rock and roll.It’s been a long week to say the least. Today was very cool though. My boss apparently surprised us with a Massage! This guy came in with his chair and gave each of us a half hour rub down. It was awesome. He pinched this part of my neck and my arm literally went weightless and then it felt like a great sensation going down. He said it was a trigger point, and by releasing the trigger points would be beneficial for many reasons. I feel …

Here it is, after midnight and I’m sitting awake here with Bill. It’s my fault really, I forgot to feed him supper. If I turn off his lights he freezes up and won’t eat. So, Bill has to eat, and it would seem I have to write.What can I say?I suppose I couldn’t even sleep if I wanted to. I’ve got a big headache, and I still can’t breathe through my nose. I suppose it was a blessing in disguise that my tube exploded on me. I would have driven myself into the ground without thinking twice about it. I’m sitting at a good 598 miles, which stinks because I have until July 7th to surpass 675. That way I can get at least 1 mile per dollar I spent on it within the first year. It’s hard to believe I’ve logged that many miles, it seems like yesterday that I bought it, and thought of buyers remorse.Remorse.That’s a word …

Wow.Pretty much all I can say, is wow.Today was a good day but sometimes I just want to burst. I never thought I’d be a 23 year old on the verge of spontaneous combustion. I guess it comes with the territory. An omnious landscape of never-ending calamity.I need you to hear, I need you to see that I have had all I can take and exploding seems like a definite possibility to me.I wish I could take credit for that last paragraph …It all started this morning when I decided to sike myself up for my bike ride. I was dead exhausted, I couldn’t breathe through my nose, I had a huge headache. It’s so hard to get ready for something when you know it’s going to kick your ass. I went ahead and prepared myself. As I left I went over the overpass, 1 mile out … 2 miles out … 3 miles out … BOOM. Tire …

So … today we are going to play a game called fill in the blanks and then back to your normally scheduled viewing, aka the blog.I’m so tired I want to ___________<blockquote>Go for the longest walk to the other side of 16th street mall, then come home and take another long walk through the aquarium.</blockquote>I am currently ___________<blockquote>Watching southpark, blogging, and coding … yes, all at the same time.</blockquote>When I watch TV I ___________<blockquote>Usually go to channel 401(Fox Soccer Channel) and see if anything good is on, then channel 72(comedy central). If nothing good is on then hell has frozen over. I mean that quite literally.</blockquote>This weekend I should ___________<blockquote>Clean my house, clean my room, fix my fishing rod, grab some supplies at walmart(dryer sheets, toothpaste, food for bill, ect …), make more code for my website</blockquote>This weekend I will probably ___________<blockquote>Watch the soccer games, go for a long bike ride, go fishing and which basically amounts to absolutely nothing. …

I’m not sure if you know this or not, but long blog titles are IN! Ok, probably not but I say so!Anyways …It’s hard to believe today is Thursday already. It seems like I was sitting here last Thursday saying the same thing. Amazing how quickly time is flying by. I’m not sure yet if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, I can see both sides to that coin pretty easily.It’s good because I really want the next few months of my life to fly by. I know that sounds stupid, but once when I was a wee lad sitting at home in Clovis New Mexico I wished for the same thing, except it was to start college and to start college. I suppose the same holds true now, just the wording is different. I’d like the next few months to fly by so I can see where I’ll be ending up, given a chapter of …

Sometimes life is a nice big piece of cheesecake. Smooth, rich, filling. Other times however it would seem that life is a dried, over cooked piece of cornbread ready to crumble at the slightest turbulance.Today it seemed like both.Sometimes I think I’m an emotional wreck. One minute I’m so happy and the next rock bottom. Laughing out loud one moment, and crying on the inside the next. Sometimes it seems overwhelming and other times it just seems cosher. I look around and I see people, and when I take a closer look I see the same people whom I once thought were happy, actually completly the opposite.It’s life. People deal with it’s ups and downs in diffrent ways. I suppose I’m still trying to figure out how I deal with mine.I got into work today, and after work I get to my car and I can’t find my keys.I really just wanted to drop to my knees.Not just because of …
