OK so I have one more thing to add to my list of goals: I need to learn more about car maintenance and repair.

Because fuck going to the service department at the Nissan dealership. Not because they do a bad job - they do quality work - but because it's just so fucking expensive to pay somebody else to do certain things.

I went...

Special shout out to Amarillo today because it's her birthday and she's awesome. You've been a great friend and I appreciate everything you do.

I'm sure my blog post last night didn't seem exceptionally inspirational to anyone else, but personally it lit a fucking fire under my ass. I feel so damn invigorated today. I want to grab the universe by the horns and skullfuck...

So I find myself in a pickle. Last week I was pretty dead set on moving into Midtown Crossing in December, and this week I was going to pay a deposit on and submit an application for the apartment that I have picked out. Then, last Friday, a spanner was tossed into the works. I was out having lunch with a coworker and we were...

I visited Midtown Crossing today. I'm still going to have to do some due diligence on the numbers to make sure I'm not getting myself into something irresponsible, but otherwise I think the place is going to be my next home.

1) I don't have to solve novel problems. Virtually every project that I work on is either (a) cookie cutter new installation or (b) an upgrade of an existing system where I basically just have to figure out the best way to make new technology...

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

The summer went fast. So fast, in fact, that I was caught off guard the other day when my landlord/roommate reminded me that my lease was ending on the 19th and asked if I wanted to do another six months. I definitely do not want to do that, but the problem is that I also do not know exactly what I do...

I've realized a few things today:

1)
It's been way too long since I've been to the zoo, and I need to go again soon. I spent almost an hour tonight watching videos of zebras, kangaroos, bears, lions, tigers, sharks and several other wild animals. Animals are awesome. I mean, come on, humans have been domesticating wild animals for at least 12,000 years and we...
