Tonight we went to see the Broncos play the Cardinals. Awesome game and it was even cooler that we won!Invesco field was so amazing. I was probably more interested in the architect of the building then the game itself. Regardless, it was a ton of fun and it made me realize the six months I’ve done more than my ENTIRE time here in Denver.Incredible.So, just a heads up. I registered a new ip address. In case you can’t remember ozweegoville.com(which I know alot of you guys CAN’T!). I registered www.kcmerrill.com. Still points to the same place, but just a little diffrent.In the next few weeks I will also be transitioning to a new website.In fact, there are going to be a TON of cool changes going on.Why you ask?Open Source.I’ve been researching and studying alot of open source projects latley and have found quite a few that I’m really intrested in, and that are sound products(better than what I could …

So much is going on. Yet so little time to talk about it.This morning was a really humerous one for me. I woke up to a bunch of crickets in George’s plant. So.. of course he didn’t eat.I went in to shake his tree to get the crickets out, and there was George. Sitting there like a little kid in a snowstorm. Mouth open, toungue outstretched waiting for an easy meal.Cracked me up.I decieded to let George eat up everything before I put too many more crickets in there. They are learning to climb the tree. So, I’ll stop the learning process.It reminded me of the corporate "evil" banana.1) Place five gorillas in a cage.2) Suspend a banana in the cage above a ladder.3) When any gorilla attempts to use the ladder, wet all five gorillas with a fire hose.4) When gorillas no longer attempt to use the ladder, replace one gorilla.5) Note that when the new gorilla attempts to …

I have so many things to be thankful for today, and the sad thing is, it’s not even Thanksgivings day yet.I’m so thankful to feel the breeze on my face, to feel the cool air as it passes through my shirt, to feel the nats as they hit my face.As I ride past an older gentleman in a wheelchair, I realize that I’m thankful for the sweat that passes my eyes. I’m thankful for the burning sensation in my legs, and the burning I feel with every breathe I take.Far too many times I find myself taking things for granted, taking my opportunities for granted. Just taking life for granted.Sad, that sometimes it takes hitting a brick wall to realize everything that one has. I still feel I’ve hit a wall, but I’m still picking up the pieces.As I sit here before my laptop, in the pitch black recess of my apartment I see George, just basking in the glow …

I woke up this morning with a rather big headache and a spinning room and a blog post I don’t remember posting.Needless to say I have a hangover.It’s funny how I don’t remember posting yesterday’s entry, and it made me sick that I focused souly on a stupid car. I could simply delete the post, but in true fashion to the reason why I write, I’ll keep it, and show my negative side to the public.By negative I mean I’m a big baby right?I digress.Yesterday hit me pretty hard Not just because of a stupid car, but because of the bigger picture. Opportunities. I think I just get so bitter and so angry and so depressed at people’s opportunities that they get. I get so any and so depressed that when my opportunities come, and for the most part I blow them.Anyways, whenever I get into these ruts I always listen to dennis leary.<blockquote>"These people with their personal baggage, their …

The moon is so beautiful.And yet, as I type that, it would seem that science or god in his/her infinate wisdom decieded to take another jab at me and cover it up with the horrid looking clouds.For those that know me, I’m usually an upbeat kind of guy. I say what needs to be said, and from the outside looking in, it would seem that I have a great perfect life and I should have nothing to complain about. Ok, probably not perfect, but I lead a normal life.So for those that think I lead the perfect life, or those that already know life isn’t fair, or just don’t want to here me vent, you might as well bid me adou, and read my next blog, for it, just maybe, will be a little more up beat and happy.It was a long day to say the least.It started out early this morning. I’ve been looking for a new car. Before …

Yum.Pizza. Beer. Oreos. Down Periscope.Not bad for the remainder of my night.I just got back from a hypnosis class. At first I thought it was a little weird the last class I went to but seeing as this is my second one, it’s actually pretty neat.I won’t go into details, but hypnosis is a way for a the subconcious to reprgram itself. Very cool stuff. Lots of unanswered questions that I get answered in my past two sessions, which by the way have been free. Usually it’s 20 bucks. I usually go with the bossman, in fact I have to go with the bossman. I’m not sure I’d go alone. The "metaphysical thingie ma bob" is one creepie place to go without somebody you know.I’m glad I went.I need more time to think though. Tons of things to think about though.I need to organize my fiances to see if I can get a new jeep like I wanted. We’ll see. …

Every now and then life takes a pretty big blow at you.Nothing in particular happened today, but it seemed like everything took a backseat. Even if only for a moment.I feel I need to get away. I was tuned into a spot in southern Colorado where there are sand dunes. I think an excursion is in order.This weekend.My getaway.<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/c4OhNfDHTqk"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/c4OhNfDHTqk" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

<a href=http://www.ozweegoville.com/Chron/images/george.jpg target=_NEW><img src=http://www.ozweegoville.com/Chron/images/george.jpg border=0 width=300 align=left></a>Everybody, meet my new buddy George!I traveled to the other side of D-Town today to pick up him up. I didn’t realize I wouldn’t be getting him there, but I figured I’d check out the Denver Reptile scene.Boy, is it a big scene.Reptile stores everywhere here.I went to one yesterday called "Scales N’ Tails" and they had everything from hermit crabs to alligators. I’m not even joking. Monitor Lizards. Who could even care for a stinkin monitor lizard? Oh god, anyways, they had everything. Scorpions, frogs, lizards, snakes … everything. It was creepy too, I bent over to take a peek at the baby geckos(and by babies I mean still in the eggs) and I leaned back, only to feel my butt against a tank that had the biggest snake I’ve ever seen, EVER in real life.Crazy.They had a ton of geckos, but unfortunately I didn’t buy one, they were way overpriced. Now …

<blockquote>"You are a FAKER! You are a FRAUD! You’re living a LIE! You don’t impress me! You don’t intimidate me! ADMIT IT! Why don’t you bow down, get on the ground, walk this fucking plank! I’m proud of my life and the things that I have done, proud of myself and the loner i’ve become. You’re free to whine. It will not get you far. I do just fine, my car and my guitar, and I am done with this. I wanna taste the breeze of every great city, my car and my guitar. You’re urgently unfulfilled, when I’m dead I’ll rest."</blockquote>Still can’t get enough of this band "Say Anything …". I hate the video, but here’s the song:<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tRLm-Or_PTA"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tRLm-Or_PTA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>Youtube. Gotta love it.Today was a very productive/waste of a day. How can it be a waste and productive you ask? Easy. My goal this weekend was to unpack which I …

I’m telling you, long titles are the new sliced bread PS,I love this song …It’s a band called Say Anything. I quoted them last night. Great band, great lyrics.Awesome.So It’s going for midnight, I figured I’d blog before my pizza gets done.I know, Beautiful right? I had a stogy tonight. I haven’t had one in forever. It’s so good, and it’s so relaxing. I love it. Today has been one of those days. I stayed late at work because I was on the trail of a nasty bug in my code at work. I figured if I came home without resolving it, I’d be thinking about it all night and who wants to think about work at home?The last few days I’ve been figuring out how to get internet in my apt, at least for a while while I mull my decesion of getting tv/internet in my apt, but until then …I figured it out.If I hit refresh on my …
