Boring

2009-12-23T08:44:00.000-08:00

I must be very boring. At least that is how some people make me feel. I do not think everyone is trying to do that. It just turns out that way.

Thought from this morning.

Consistent!!!

2009-12-11T12:20:00.001-08:00

Be consistent and do not get so upset when others are not! Knock them about the head then proceed to tell them how may problems it causes when they are not consistent!

If I have to repeat myself we are going to have a problem!

Something new this way comes!!!

2009-12-08T12:10:00.000-08:00

I will soon be able to write blog entries with my iPod Touch!

Yippie!!! I think I might get some more things written on here as I have my iPod Touch with me nearly all the time!!!

There...short and sweet!!!

Unorganized Chaos!

2008-10-02T18:01:00.000-07:00

My brain has been in such chaos in the last several weeks. I have waken up in a state of mind that can not be explained...atleast not by me. Sometimes not knowing where I am but recognizing my surroundings.

Hmmmm!!!

Oh well!!!

Atleast I am not dead!

Ok...on to the next thing...

The Powerball jackpot was reciently at 200 million. I had some big dreams again. I use to want this peice of property in McMinnville, OR. It is about 600 acres (in about 4 or 5 lots) and cost about 8 million. I have found a property that is closer to portland but is only 2 acres. I really like this house. Anyone have 2.1 million I can have to buy it? Well I did say it was a dream.

I am also not liking this living by myself thing. I have done it twice before but for very short periods of time. I am use to the city but am now in the suburbs. Things close earlier and I do not know very amny people out here. Not that I am the most social person but it is a change that is hard to deal with.

Well I am at work and need to go so I will stop for now.

Twitter is back!!!

2008-08-27T13:21:00.000-07:00

I had my Twitter account locked up several months ago. It would not let me log in or recreate the account. I submitted a note to twitter.com. They looked into the problem. They have now deleted the account which allowed me to recreate a Twitter account. YEAH!!!

Question?

2008-04-29T10:02:00.000-07:00

I saw this on a car licence plate this morning.

It has my mind thinking about it non stop.

The plate said "MZMLCC". It looks like Roman Numerals but there is no Z in roman numerals until after it was changed in the medieval times.

Maybe the answer is simple but I can not seem to get it out.

Thanks for your help!

I also posted this up on Twitter.

My own way!

2008-04-24T14:39:00.000-07:00

I may or may not use words, phrases or ideas in this blog entry that you may or may not like. If you are offended by some words or ideas, or you have sensitive ears. Then stop reading this blog entry.

When people ask me how I am doing. My usual responds is "I am OK" or I am peachy". What does that mean. Well because it is what I usually say. It can mean just about anything. If you are one of those people who want to know the real and total reason behind something. Become a mind reader. It is the only way you can have that answer. When it comes to your friends or people you interact with on a regular basis. You can tell some of that information better.

I have the facial expression of "I am in a pissed off mood" most of the time. But I am not in that mood...that is just how it comes across. I try and make it look better but it does not always work.

Some people will say "I am fine". In one movie, Italian Job, they say fine stands for Freaked out, Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional. Well that sounds like me all the time...so I guess I am fine!

Nobody is perfect. So stop expecting me to be. I have issues like everyone else. I am a Leo and need lots of people to be concerned. They just need to able to stop being concerned and they need to do something about it, other then just asking "How are you?" I need to remember that not everyone can do that or is capable of more.

That reminds me about wishing life had a slowdown, reset or stop button so we could all catch our breathe.

So, if we just keep in mind that we all suffer in this life and we all have good times and bad. We will all get along just fine...I know you freaked out people...!!!

Now go and have a good day...damn-it!!!

Blogging, Reading, Writing!

2008-04-24T14:23:00.000-07:00

I will start by saying that I am, by no means, a professional blogger.

I read some here and there. I have this space to write myself. Sometimes I wish I could do it everyday. Sometimes...I do not give a rats ass.

I see that there is a Blogging culture. One that spawns life, friendships, thinking, laughing, feeling. It creates a world of communication that can only be handled in this way. People have a "Online" persona...usealy that gives them the charactor that they want in that moment in time. Some people have several online persona's for different reasons.

Can one say that a blog is full of truth or lies? I say the answer to that question is yes and no. It is whatever you want it to be. This, I think, is true no matter what side you are on, Reading or Writing. You may want it to be one side or the other but once in the public forum...you the writter have no more control on how others will take it.

We read blogs for entertainment, information, conformation in our beliefs. We write for the same reasons.

I do not read anyone blog every day. I have a couple that I check on often. Does that make me a bad person? No! I use the world of blogging for the same reasons as others. I just do not have time and resources to read everyday.

Why do you read blogs?

Why do you write blogs?

These questions can only be answered by you for the deep reasons. But in general we all read them for the same reasons.

Not that this helps you. It was on my mind today.

Tax Day!!!

2008-04-15T15:05:00.000-07:00

Yes...I waited until almost the last minute to do my taxes. I was missing one peice of paper. I have been looking all over the house. It is funny when you say that "It was in the last place I looked!" Who keeps looking after you find it? It will always be the last place you look.

So last night I calculated, wrote down and filled out the forms. I do not have reliable internet access at home, so I fill out a form. I was so into what I was doing that I did not pay attention to the time. It was about 2:30 AM when I finished. I could not fall asleep right away. I woke up about 9:30 am. My work day really starts at 8:00am. I am 20 miles from work. I sent an email so they knew I was coming in. But I was having to much fun at home. I did not leave home until about 12:45 pm. I got to work at 1:47! And now I am reading blogs one, two and writing in mine. So, I guess we can say that I have not done much to be productive today. I did take care of a couple of things.

I have to say that a driver on the way to work today needs to re-read the manual. There were driving a white mazda with Arizona plates. Ok...I feel a little better about that.

On a Blog I read last night. Daddy Kaos is having a contest to see what you would do with 4 million dollars. I would have to say that I could do quite a bit with that. I have not had a motorcycle in such a long time. I would also like to buy a house. Oh yeah...play, travel, learn another language, drive across country, etc...etc...

Untill I get this power ranger out of my ass. Have a great day!

2008-04-14T12:06:00.000-07:00

Well I am, as they say, getting off my butt!!!

Updates:
1) 3 years ago today I was lying in a hopsital with my chest open and Medical seran wrap over it. I was also asleep, with machines helping me.

2) I went to Roseburg, Oregon on Saturday. It was a nice drive.

3) I will no longer go to Burger King for fast food! Atleast the one close to my house. They are always out of something when I go there. I am tired of that. You would think they could adjust for things like this! I know when I worked in a kitchen, that the supply situation was always a fluid thing.

4) I hate the drive to work. The people who yell at me for speeding when I am going less then the speed limit. The people who do not use there turn signal when changing lanes or exited the road. The bicylist who ride through red lights or change lanes without signaling but yell at you for changing lanes infront of them. They need to pay attention too. The driver who says in the fast lane but will not go faster when you are behind them. Yes there is a speed limit. But when there is a line of cars behind you that want to go faster. The driver in front needs to get over. I hate that I do some these things too! I want the "Serno Only" lane all the way to work!!!

5) I want an Apple iPod Touch 32gig! I have a friend that says I should get an iPhone. Well that would be nice but I have a phone. I sometimes share the phone with others. The iPhone does not have as much hard drive space. Plus the new iPhone coming out in about September 08' will be using a more reliable and faster wifi scheme. I do not want to wait that long. That friend also has suggested that I get an Asus Eee Pc. The problem with this is that the battery life is note as long as the iPod Touch. The good thing is that I could run computer programs from it. So, I think I will get an Apple iPod Touch and keep my present phone. That way I can have it now!!!

6) On April 20th I am going to have my head shaved for St. Baldrick's Day! It will be a first for me. I have thought about shaving my head but now I can do it and help support kids with cancer. Not to mention a free hair cut and saving money on shampoo! I have gotton some donations for the kids with cancer but not as much/many as I had hoped for. I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I need to invest in some hats.

I hope if anyone reads that you have a great day! Maybe I have help put a smile on your face! Maybe I have made you think!

Three years ago today! I went into the hospital and had the first of 6 operations!

Long over due update!

2006-04-06T10:18:00.000-07:00

Well it has been a bit of time from my last post.

I am now working, which is good.

But coming up on April 11th 2006 wil be my one year aniversary for surviving By-Pass surgery. On April 11th 2005 I went into the hospital to take a Stress Echo Test. I failed to the Nth degree. 75% of my lower Heart was not functioning after exercise. They did a little operation to find out how many by-passes I needed. I was told 8 to 9. I went under the knife on April 13th and was closed up on april 16th. I was asleep for two weeks. And stayed in the hospital for 33 days. Most people are getting out of the hospital on the 5th or 6th day. They said everything that could go wrong did go wrong. I had 6 operations and 6 by-passes.

But the good news is that I have now almost made it a year. Some of the extras I got from this, have gone away. Like Diabeties and a very rare blood condition. I was told that they were going to name this blood condition after me if they could find some more information about it. But it went away. This is kind of freaky. But good that it is gone.

Thank you to all for your prayers and thoughts. I have my heart pillow by my bed. They gave me this red pillow in the shape of a heart. It helped will recovering. Because I could hold it against my chest while I coughed, sneezed, hicuped or burbed. It help save me a lot of pain. My ribs are still not completly sold yet.

I started at one hospital but was transfered on the first day to another hospital. The first hospital was Adventist Medical Center and the second hospital was Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital & Medical Center.

Well that is the short of it. I am doing great.

What a day...

2004-08-18T20:28:00.000-07:00

Things that have happened sence my last entry...

I had a birthday...I went to my high school reunion...worked - if you can call it that...and started reading the book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas...

My birthday was great...So many people came it was great...some people could not make it...but others did make it...it was great...It was suppose to be August 8th at 8pm...but because I needed to be at work at 6:00 am instead of the next day being one of my days off...I was still at the bar until about midnight got about 4 hours of sleep and made it to work... Wow...I had fun...I wish I could learn from my friend Douglas and invite just women so that the numbers would be better...but I am very thankful of all the people who did make it...

As for the reunion...well it was a lot of fun also...it was my 20th...yes I am that old...I feel much younger...but hey 38 aint bad... Got to be at the Trask Brewery for the Friday night event...casual simple fun...very much a hot place...as they did not turn on the fans for a while and also seems to be a happening place in that town I grew up in...Everybody looks great...We really have some good looking people in out class...!!!! But I was gorgeous...!!!!! he...he...he.... lots of people seemed to have blonde hair now...maybe I should do that... So many people are still in my home town...or very near by...

It is only our 20 year reunion but we did have three classmates that have past on...I hope we slow that pace down...

We have some people that are doing great and some that are doing good...other then myself...I do not think any one is down on there luck...so that is good...granted not everyone was there... If you are wondering...I went to McMinnville High School in McMinnville, Oregon

Well onto Saturday...It was warm the whole weekend...But saturdays event was a dressed up...not quite formal...but deffinantly nice close type event dinner at the Evergreen Aviation Museum. This despite the heat was great...but just so you all know...I was too late to get my picture taken...so I will not be in the group photo...I was out walking around looking at the planes when they took that picture...oh well...I was not in hardly any pictures in high school because I was usally behind the camera... It was good times for all...Dinner was great...it was kind of funny to have plastic plates and plastic utensils that looked silver...but the food was good. We also had at our dinner a table that had Pictures of the three people who had past away. This I thought was nice...it made it posible for us to see who it was that could not make it. Also there was a video playing with the movie QuarterBack Princess. This movie was made the summer between our Junior and Senior years...1983. When the sun went down...and the wind picked up...well it got down right cold...By about midnight they were closing the place up...a group of us went downtown...that is called "The Gut" in McMinnville to the McMenamins pub called the Oregon Hotel had some drinks and some food...it too was fun...

Oh yeah...it was mentioned several times... "If you want to be invited to future reunions. Registar with classmates.com

Just that I would add that part in there...

And one other thing before I continue... I have met a few of my classmates through out the years here and there...but one funny thing is this...on the first night they handed out a booklet that had everyone who replied to the notice of there new address and one person who I have seen several times in a local Fred Meyer store just happens to live one block away on the same steet that I am on and I have been here over a year...I wondered about this person at this house but thought they would recinize me and they did not...so I thought I had the wrong person...but in that booklet I saw there address and I just think that is so funny...

Now the Sunday event was to tour the High School so we could see what had changed over the last 20 years. Yes!!! The school has changed quite a bit...in fact there was about 800 to 900 students when we were going there...Now they have about 1800 students. so in another 20 years there will be 4000 students...well that is in the future...who knows what will happen...but it is definately much bigger. Parts of the school look the same while others look brand spanking new...which is true...there are now two gyms and a theater to beat all theaters...it was so impressive. Four hall use to be half inside and half outside...now the whole thing is inside. A few programs are gone like Auto shop and metal shop... Oh yeah...and the halls seem smaller to me...but then again that happened to me when I went back to one of my grade schools several years later...

All in all with me not being the most social (well in all situations) I had fun and did mingle around a bit. I got to see some old friends. I got to see the planes in the air museum and I also got to see my old high school...good times...I wish I had a video recorder though.

Now as for that book I started...wow...I love the movie but the book is interesting too...

Well it seems to be that time...I need to put away my laundry and make my way to bed...tomorrow is coming fast...

Good night and remember to not let the bed bugs bite...!!!

Today has been.......

2004-08-01T18:27:00.000-07:00

Well Hot...temp wise...I have started only two of the many tasks I thought I would get done today... I watched a special on pbs about Greece... It reminded me that I want to travel. Also it reminded me of my favorite movie Mediterraneo.

Some of the Places I want to travel are:

The Yangtze River in China.
I want to cruse the Mediterranean Sea.
New Zealand
I want to trace some of the steps of the route described in the book "Eaters of the Dead" by Michael Crichton.
Russia
England, Scotland and Ireland - I want to ride a Vespa from London to Brighton.

The Yangtze River is getting dammed up. So I need to go here soon... A model of the dam is here.

Wow...what a day...and it still is not over...

Here I sit with the first entry in my first Blog. I hope this experience is a great one.

STEP 1: Has been completed
