Ok, this week no Something New. Ok I did do something new, but I think the main topic of the day is a nice Happy Birthday to my friend Chris who just turned 24 on Saturday. To celebrate we headed over to Highlands on Hollywood and proceeded to frolic to loud music and hang out with friends and family. I’d say more, but it was a long weekend and I think we both have things to do right now. Enjoy the photo’s.

Btw, a Happy Birthday to my good friend and father of my God Daughter, Mark Haynes.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Jose and Wendy Barton (Jose took Wendy’s last name because we all know she wears the pants in the relationship) for inviting me to their baby shower.

My vision hasn’t changed much in the last few years so I’m kind of glad for that, but now the hunt begins.

I’m looking at a few places online. I have found that buying my glasses online is a lot cheaper than purchasing them from a brick and mortar store. (continue reading…)

With our test database down at work I find myself with strangely nothing to do. A lot of our coding/testing happens on the test database so when it goes down the programmers at work are kind of left in a certain limbo. So now I find myself catching up on past news. Did you read about the UK politician who compares husband rape to force feeding a woman chocolate? Well, with people like that in power who can complain about the state of the world?

I’ve been kind of going through those motions.. but I think i’m on a good path.. at least I’m hoping i am..  performance reviews are up at work.. and I’m hoping that when my time comes.. I hope I did good last year… despite all the bitching and moaning i may sometimes do.. i love my job.. it’s a good job.. for a good company.. and i’m happy at the chance i was given.. so.. here’s keeping my fingers crossed..
