Clarity..

My previous post does not really reflect the circumstances under which I was trying to convey. As it seems my boss taps me on the shoulder this morning – while my headphones were on and blasting away while trying to code – and asks me to follow him to his office. He then says to me that they’re sending me to Ohio to do some training for a piece of software we use for document management.. wow I say.. well.. as it turns out the entire training is 2 weeks long.. so .. around november.. expect me to be out of the city for a while..
Now, you may not know this.. but I’m doing something craaaazzzzy!!!.. I’m posting this blog entry to 3 different places.. well.. it’ll show up in 3 different places.. myspace.. facebook.. and my own blog over at nulledge.net.. I’m also using this blogging extension for firefox so i’ll see how that goes.. but all in all.. it seems pretty cool that all my things are now fairly integrated..
We’re expecting a new programmer at work in the upcoming weeks.. I hope he/she takes over some of my pending projects that I haven’t been able to get to.. focus on… and I hope i get some time to actually work on my website more this weekend.. despite the fact that Sally’s birthday is coming up and the next day – after what I hope is not too many drinks – I have have to walk for the kidney disease foundation thing my mother asked me to. It’s not a long walk.. not even a hard walk.. it’s just that it’s at San Pedro at 730 in the morning right after the night of libations planned for Sally’s birthday.. ugh.. well.. I guess that’s just the way it is..
Curiosity killed the cat a few times over..

I’m not feeling right today.. I’m a little off my game and hopefully this loud dose of music will set me right. I’m trying to use this anxious energy to get some work done.. and after 20 minutes spent on a stupid problem, I realize my own stupidity is to blame… but that’s allright it is to be expected… if I hadn’t gone running around asking for help and spent a few minutes sitting here and thinking about it, I probably could’ve resolved the problem without looking so stupid.. but as it is.. oh well..
Well, the tickets are booked for Chicago. I’m looking forward to this trip.. I just need to get out of town for a while.. who knows.. maybe i’ll like it so much i decide to move there.. or vancouver.. i like the cold.. I can deal with the cold better than I can deal with the heat.. but that’s probably due to the holiday weight I’m holding..
I guess I’ll get over this soon.. given enough time.. you get over everything.. i’ll put my headphones back on.. and sit here.. staring at code.. and breathing in…. and out… one breathe at a time..
I hate you verizon..

I have been with verizon for a very long time now.. I love their service.. for the most part, I can pick up my phone and make a call no matter where I am.. but.. their phones suck ass!!.. and i mean suck ass.. i’ve been using a xv6700 for the last two years or so now and it’s time to upgrade, especially since I broke my phone and it is now a pain in the ass to charge my battery.. when I charge my battery i am disconnected for at least a couple of hours..
Now I have been waiting patiently for the new pda phones to come out.. specifically the 6800 version of my phone.. i’ve watched as other companies (sprint) and other people have gotten this phone while i’m stuck here with my broken phone.. and i know that if my phone does come out verizon will cripple the stupid thing so I can’t do what the phone was meant to do.. because verizon wants me to use their services and pay extra for it.. whereas sprint just let’s you do what you want to do with the phone.. knowing me i’ll spend a couple of days cleaning everything out just to have the stupid thing useable.. i wish google would come out with their service already so i could switch to them..
Why then do I stick with verizon over let’s say sprint or ATT ( the new cingular)… quality.. ATT uses the sucky EDGE network for it’s network so I wouldn’t be able to pull down anything like the EVDO service from Sprint or verizon, but Sprint call quality just sucks… So i guess i’m stuck verizon for now.. waiting patiently for a phone that will never arrive..
Full On..

I’ve decided that i’m going to try and make all of this goodness work. I’m going to eventually try customizing both this site – nulledge.net – and my gallery.. i don’t know why, i just think it would be fun.. so far, i’ve got it integrated into facebook so all my facebookers can see this blog.. but I think i’m also going to try to get it running on the other social networking site i’m a member of.. who knows.. maybe it’s just a waste of time..
