What's On: The Practice (4th episode in a row)

So all day with Holley. This is driving me crazy. I wish we could be more soooo badly, but oh well. I guess I'll just enjoy spending time with her and nothing more. I just wish he didn't treat her like he does, not to mention Beth. Why can't he see how great she is? I guess he just doesn't see it, or doesn't want to see it. Beats me.

So anyway, that's it.

March 24, 2005: Thursday

What's On: Sweet 16

Well, another couple of days without a post. Not doing as good as I'm suppose to...LOL

I spent most of the day with Holley again. I also spent most of last night with Holley. I had the day off because I'm having to work tomorrow...yuck. We headed out and went to McAllister's, then headed to Wal-Mart, then to CompUSA, and then back to Wal-Mart. We were looking for her a wireless router for cheap. That ended up being at CompUSA. So now she has internet throughout her house. We talked about everything and nothing like usual. She is perfect to me, but oh well. Nothing will ever become of this, so why do I care. Only 45 days until DisneyWorld though!!!! I"m ready to go now.

On the road to the Final 4.....

March 22nd, 2005 Tuesday

What's On: Nobody's Home, Avril Lavigne

Ok, ok, I didn't post again yesterday. Shame shame on me. I'm working nights this week and I ended up going over to Amanda's after I left work so I didn't get home until well after 1am. I got home, played one game of poker, won it, and went to bed 39 dollars richer...LOL

I had a lot of fun over at Amandas. Amanda, Jacquelyn, and myself all sat around just talking about crazy stuff while I helped Amanda with her computer. Amanda had on a skirt, which is a defenite change. I think its the first time I've ever seen her in a skirt. I helped her to find DVD43 and I also got her to install ITunes on her pc. If you don't have ITunes, you defenitely need to get it. Its the best software for keeping all those MP3s organized by far!!!

Then today Dr. G and I ended up at the capitol again to get our pictures taken...woohooo.

Besides that, I've been chatting with Beth over text message today. Crazy, I know, but that's my life.

March 20, 2005 Sunday

What's On: "You and Me" Lifehouse

Ok, lets try this again. I've done this once today and for some reason it decided not to post. Aren't computers just great? I think the only reason I can work on computers for a living is because I don't let them get to me. Its funny watching some people at work get so mad at an object that has no feelings. I guess its not always easy to realize that with the way they act sometimes....LOL

Anyway, been a semi-interesting weekend. I went to the casino Friday to play blackjack but unfortunately there weren't any tables open so I ended up playing slots and losing 160 bucks....fun fun.

So Saturday I went to the movies with Amanda. I have so much fun with her. She is way too much like me. We watched "The Pacifier" which was a pretty funny movie. It had some lagging parts, but overall it was a good movie. 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.....LOL

I did go see Holley for a little while Friday night. She is still in pain and it was hard seeing her that way. I wanted to do something for her so bad, but there wasn't much I could do.

So I guess that's it for now. Until we meet again......

March 17, 2005 Thursday

Sorry for the lack of a post yesterday but I didn't get home to late. Benji and I ended up going to Kendall's house and playing poker with 10 other people. I had a good time even though I finished out of the money. Of course, I won the 30 dollars back tonight on Party Poker, plus another 17, so that's a good thing.

So the past two days. Yesterday was a blur. Somehow I ended up being introduced in front of the Mississippi House of Representatives, and then that was followed up by being introduced in from of the Mississippi Senate. It was a rather odd experience to say the last.

But nothing like what just got done happening. Sharon, the long lost love, just called. I had no idea how it was when I saw the number and didn't catch her voice. Its amazing how someone sounds so different from San Antonio now. Guess its one of those things that you don't realize until you get away from there for a while. Anyway, she was wondering how I was doing because she had left Dennis, so I guess now I'm suppose to come visit. I probably will, but we will see. Can you ever really go back home? The whole comment she had made several weeks back about having an affair was what is still throwing me off. If she isn't serious about this thing, I don't want anything to do with it.

I also talked to Holley tonight for over an hour. She told me about the surgery and what all the doctor had said. They found a pallop (sp?) while they were looking around. They took it out and are now doing test. I hope everything turns out ok. At least the surgery is behind her now though. She is still sore, but she sounded in good spirits. I'm going to visit her tomorrow night and I'll defenitely have to bring up the whole Sharon thing.

So anyway, that's enough for tonight even though I should type a whole bunch more.

So in case I don't see you, good morning, good afternoon, and good night.

March 15, 2005 Tuesday

What's On: Lifehouse, You and Me

Another day, I knew it was going to be a long week, but dang. I think part of it has to do with Holley. I tried my best to comfort her today. Don't know how good of a job that I did, but I made her laugh a couple of times, so that's always good. I pray that everything goes well tomorrow.

Tomorrow is another trip to the capitol building....woohooo. Not much is going to happen but them taking a picture of Dr. G....like I said, wooohooo.

I did win 28 bucks playing poker tonight and tomorrow night is the tournament at Kendall's house. Its funny because a lot of the residents are scared....lol

So anyway, keep on keeping on....

March 13, 2005 Monday

What's on: Josh Groban, You Raise Me Up

Ok, when I started this thing I promised myself it wouldn't just be what I did each day, that it would be other things also. So today is going to be the poem that I wrote for Judy when she decided to leave her job:

To Judy:
This was the time of Judy
At this place we call home.
This was the time of laughter
We all so dearly loved.
This was the time of friendship
And everything we hold dear.
Because we all loved being around Judy
We all held her near.
But now is the time you leave
Now is the time to go.
A better opportunity has come your way
And we must go in different ways.
We will always open our doors widely for you
Whenever you come around.
For Judy is the one that shared with us
She was the one who never let us down.
We understand why you must leave
We understand that you must go.
But we will keep you forever Judy
We will keep you forever in our hearts.

So that was it. Just wanted to put it out there. Hopefully I will come up with other things to write and add to the daily boredom.

Not much has happened today. I got up a little late, about 6:45am and got ready and headed into work. Holley was already here and I think she was already stressing about going to get her pre-op work out of the way this morning. They ended up sticking her pretty good and so she was hurting by the time she got back to work. She is defenitely worried about it. I need to do something for her tomorrow, but I don't know what. Guess I'll stop by Wal-Mart tonight and get her a little something.

Anyway, its about time for me to head out of here and go bowling. I bowl on a league every Monday night that I'm not having to work late, and this is one of those nights.

Until we meet again....

March 13, 2004 Sunday

What's On: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Another mundane Sunday to say the least. We had a bit of bad weather tonight and Holley actually sent me a text message asking if I was ok. Didn't expect it. Then about 10pm, Beth decides to text me. I don't know where that came from. I texted her Wednesday and then again Thursday and never received a response, so I figured she didn't want to make time for me, and I'm fine with that. So, tonight was a surprise. She probably got mad again because I didn't say very much, but oh well. I'm just tired of her and the way she treats people. I have never met someone that actually tries to suck the life out of you, but that is what Beth is good at.

Well, tomorrow its back to work and its and all week back to work. I haven't worked 5 days in a row since the beginning of the year, so I'm sure that it will be a long week. Holley has her surgery this Wednesday so I know she will be worried all week. I hope everything goes well.

Onto the next great conquest Will Robinson......

March 12, 2005 Saturday

What's on: Fox News Channel

Not much going on today. I got up and went over to Holley's house to go with her to take her car to get it worked on. We really didn't do much. I followed her up to the Ford place, went to Smoothie King (very gross), and then to Sonic, and back to her house. We sat around out side with Beth and Tyler (Beth's son) and basically just sat there. Then when Holley's brother (Josh) called and told Holley that her car was ready, I took Holley back to the Ford place. Holley thought, I guess, that I was coming back to her house, but I knew that Leslie was coming over and I wasn't about to end up back over at her house. So, she said she was sorry, that she didn't want me to think she was using me. I told her I didn't and off I went. So that was about it.

I came home and have played 8 games of 11 dollar SNG No-limit hold 'em tournaments, I'm down 8 dollars at the moment, and now I'm thinking about going to bed.

Like I said, just a boring day.

I don't know what I'm doing here, but hey, momma said there would be days like this.....

March 11, 2005

What's On: Tilt, ESPN (Gotta love Tivo)

Wow, what a day. I thought I was only going to be spending a couple of hours with Holley and that would be it, but I ended up meeting up with her about 12:15pm and am now just getting home a little after midnight. If it weren't for that ring!!! She is the one woman that I wish I would have known before she got married. Its so strange. We really are the same person it seems at times. We think a lot of the same things, and say a lot of the same things, but oh well...once again, why stress on something that can't happen? I had to tell her that she drove me crazy yesterday when she was showing what she does with her boobs in the tanning bed. I don't understand why Marty (the husband) treats her like he does. It really seems at times that he really doesn't love her. I guess I have a little different perspective on how I would treat her because of how long its been just me.

We ended up going all over the place today. I met up with her at Wal-Mart, then we headed to McAllister's to eat, then over to the credit union, over to Victoria's Secret so I could buy her the lotion she wanted as a pre-surgery present, then back to her house to pick up Beth to take her to work, to Buffalo Wild Wings to drop off Beth, over to Lowe's to meet up with Marty to look at some wood, over to Coffee Roastery for a mocha, then to Borders so I could pick up Harrington on Hole 'em, on to the tanning bed so she could tan a little while, then to Auto Zone, over to Dollar General, back to her house, over to Sonic, and finally back to her house again to eat the food from Sonic and watch a movie. We were everywhere....LOL We ran into Kendall at Lowe's but at least Marty was with us at the time so he couldn't think too much about it. I still wonder how I can be so comfortable around her, and she around I. It is a mystery.

So that was my day. I'm back home to play a little poker and then I'm heading to bed.

I'm outta here, and on with the show.

E-mail

What's on right now? XM Channel 21

Well, here is a second entry, so far I'm living up to my promise to myself to post at least once a day. Of course, does this count as the second day since I didn't post until early this morning? Technicalities always seem to get in my way. I still have an ongoing debate within myself about the use of the word affect vs. effect. I have been doing this to myself for over 2 weeks now...LOL Why do I do this kind of thing to myself?

Its almost 7pm and I'm still at work. I have 4 more hours until the weekend...woohooo. I really don't have a lot planned this weekend. I'm suppose to go eat with my married friend Holley. She is actually one of my employees also, but we have been friends a lot longer than I have been "her boss." Anyway, we are eating lunch tomorrow since we are both off, and I'm suppose to go see a movie with my cousin Amanda sometime either Friday or Saturday. I'll talk to her in a little while to see when excatly she wants to go. She is working until 10pm tomorrow night so if we go then, we will be going to a late movie. Which is defenitely not a bad thing. Then the rest of the weekend will be watching the SEC basketball tourney and playing some blackjack and some poker. I did win 100 bucks last night playing blackjack and I'm hoping to repeat that figure again tonight. We shall see.

Today has been an ok day. Sharon, the long lost love, e-mailed me today. She was my best friend from 8th grade until I left Castroville my first year of college. I was too chicken to say anything about how I felt about her back then. About 2 years ago, I got her e-mail address from a mutual friend and Sharon and we have been e-mailing back and forth ever since. She is married but has been having troubles with her husband for a while. Apparently, she left him some time these past couple of days and is now staying with a friend. I know nothing will probably become of this, but it would be nice to see her again. It has been 13 years...geez......

As far as work, I talked some to Keisha today, but she was kind of short. I think they have been pretty busy the past couple of days and she was just ready to get out of here. Now she is truely the one that I wish she was not committed to someone else. They aren't married, but he lives with her and she is involved in his kids' lives, so oh well. Life goes on.... She really is great, at least what I know about her. She's attractive, athletic, funny, and laughs at my jokes....perfect!!!!! But why linger over something that I can't have, right?

Besides that, Dr. G is back and seems very intrested about the results of the meeting I had yesterday. Another 5 million in the program would defenitely not be a bad thing. So, this time February we could be seriously hitting the pavement again trying to get some more hospitals to join the program.

I talked to Holley for about 45 minutes after she gave me a ride over to my car today. She is having to have surgery this Wednesday to try to clear up some blockage in one of her Fallopian tubes so she is worried. She has been trying to get pregnant for a while now and it just hasn't happened. Maybe this will help.

Anyway, I'll hop off of here for now, might write more later once I get home from work.

See ya!!!

First post

Welcome to this little corner of Cyberspace (if anyone even comes close to stumbling into this site)!!!! Time to queue up Pink Floyd's "Is There Anybody Out There?" It seems like a cozy little home, so I guess I'll be hanging out here for a while.

So here I am, once again sitting in my bedroom at 2:40am. Just another night before going into work tomorrow. This is my late week at work which means I'll be working from 12:30pm until 11pm Monday through Thursday this week. I normally catch up on my sleep during the week because I tend to be more of a night owl than I defenitely should be.

So what made me decide to do this? Well, that actually started last night. I did a quick search on Google and found the 5th Muse blog. She defenitely seems like a character and I was laughing because she seems to have some of the some issues that I face in my life. Its probably true of all of us, but considering it was the first blog I have ever actually sat and read for any given time, I found it very interesting reading her thoughts on the day. So, I thought, why not? Who knows how long it will last, but I'm starting, so maybe it will last a while.

A little about me.... I'm a 31 year old guy that is single and currently living in Mississippi. I was born in Forest Mississippi, but that was many many moons ago and I still say that I was suppose to have been born in Castroville, Texas. See, my Dad was in the Air Force so we moved a few times while I was growing up. I started in Mississippi, then moved to Alabama, spent three years in Germany, then off to San Antonio, Texas, then Castroville, Texas, which is defenitely what I call home still. See, Castroville is where I went to high school, where I lived the longest (until my current stint in Mississippi) and what still feels like home when I go back to visit, which hasn't happened in a while, but I'm always ready for a quick trip back. So that is just a little bit of history, I'm sure more will be revealed later, but I think that is more than enough for now.

I was born under the sign of Cancer (July 20th) and I am defenitely a Cancer through and through. I can go through moods faster then anyone should be allowed to. Fortunately, there are a couple of people in my life that can seem to handle this, but defenitely not very many. I have defenitely been known to crawl into my shell and stay there days, or weeks, at a time.

Anyway, today. Today was a rather strange day at work. Work is at the University Medical Center and I work for the Emergency Department as a Network Administrator. I am mainly responsbile for maintaining a network between our Emergency Department and several other rural hospitals throughout the state of Mississippi. Again, more details to come along.

So today. I had to go in early today because the doctor I work for decided to schedule a meeting for me at 10am this morning. I had no idea what to expect out of this meeting because this was setup as a favor for the Dean of the University. So I meet with these people, alone again (how do I keep on ending up at these meetings alone is beyone me), and the group of people sitting across me start talking about how they can help us with our system. So after several minutes of me explaining what excatly we do, I finally brought up that we currently have 10 remote sites, but we have always wanted to support 30. So that got the wheels turning. The next thing I knew, we were talking about spending 5 million dollars being funded by the federal government. This group is going to meet with Senator Cochran and see what they can come up with. It truely is strange how I end up in these situations. They say 5 million dollars, and for a minute I sit there and think....I'm not old enough to be talking about 5 million dollars....LOL There are defenitely times I still think of myself as a kid, and for a fleeting second there, it occured this morning in this meeting. I'm sitting there thinking, why are these 3 people so intrested in what I have to say? When did all of this come about? And is this truely how these type of things work? The tech guy sitting across from 3 people that got into the office because they know the Dean of the hospital.

Ok, I have already sent 30 minutes sitting here typing. It is way past time for me to get some sleep, and now that this is my little corner of cyberspace, I have plenty of time to type all night tomorrow.

To anyone that happens to stumble across these postings, please be kind, don't litter, and remember, this is only the beginning (of course that could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your point of view).
