Just another one of those hellish days…

I try to be a good person, help others, be considerate, smile at random strangers because maybe they just need someone to smile at them and preform random acts of kindness just because I can.  However sometimes it seems like the world at large just needs to shit ALL over me for some reason!  I don\’t \”expect\” anything in return for the things that I do, but it would be nice if things were running just a little more smoothly then they are at the moment.

I seemed to have \”mis-placed\” a dear friend, and this worries me!  By mis-placed I mean I haven\’t heard from them and while we don\’t have daily contact, certain turns of events have me concerned about their well being.  I hope I hear from them soon or I really will send out a missing persons report until I find them!

Woke up this morning to a wet bedroom floor!  My hot water tank started leaking who knows when.  Its in my fully carpeted bedroom which means I can\’t clean up the monsoon of water and I am a tad concerned about the floor getting moldy and possibly rotting underneath it.  I live in the sub basement so thankfully it won\’t cave into someone Else\’s apartment but still, I have major mold allergies and that\’s just NOT cool!  This of course has had me stressed out ALL day, so I shut off the breaker so that the elements weren\’t heating nothing at all but it would seem that the tank isn\’t empty so I turned the breaker back on just to see if I can at the very least take a shower!

I also happened to stumble upon this by chance, and its meant to be written in a sarcastic tone ( I felt compelled to point that out because some people just didn\’t seem to \”get it\”):

10 Reasons why Gay Marriage is \”wrong\”

1) Being gay is not natural. Real people always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn\’t changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can\’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears\’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn\’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren\’t full yet, and the world needs more children.

7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That\’s why we have only one religion in the world.

9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That\’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven\’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

On a final note, its about damn time that gay marriage is legal in Vermont even though that one jackass senator (or whomever he is)  is SO vehemently opposed to it, he can go f**k himself!  The votes are in and YOU lost so 😛

Can\’t. Stop. Playing.

You know I have to give credit to Shannon for his JS (java script) skills!  Granted its sending my OCD into overdrive lol.  I love his Bing-Bong game!  Its so simple, yet the compulsive need to play is something else!

Since I have today off of work today I should be getting other things done as opposed to sitting here on my PC, playing with this game and listening to ridiculous court shows.  I will get my couch done today, the worst hardest part is pretty much over and it looks good!  I was going to finish it last weekend when I first embarked on this project but the cat had a hissy fit and bit my hand and arm pretty hardcore and I wasn\’t able to finish it due to the exceptional amount of pain my hand was in.  It also swelled up pretty bad so I wasn\’t able to jam my hand in the more tight fitting area\’s to staple down the rest of the fabric ( wow that sounds kind of pervy doesn\’t it!).

I shouldn\’t post this because its totally wrong yet so very amusing!  I\’m sure that this will offened someone which isn\’t my intent, but I have a twsited sense of humour!

\”And Jesus said unto his 12 Apostles as he was being nailed to the cross: \”Don\’t touch my f\’ing easter eggs i\’ll be back on Monday!\”

Now that I think about it, I really wonder how the whole Easter bunny thing came about…

Grrr.

Can I lack in motivation anymore?  I mean really…  I have SO much to do and not nearly enough motivation to actually get off my derriere and get it done!

I really should start playing with CSS templates to see what I can conjure up using that format instead of the current (likely soon to be outdated HTML).  Thankfully HTML and CSS not to mention JS (Java script) for the most part work harmoniously together so I\’m hoping praying that its not a major headache.  I figure if I go the CSS route I can create internal and external style sheets and enable global changes as opposed to having to update each site manually if I need to add/change/delete a link or some other central function which would make site updates a hundred times easier then they are now.

Once I get it uploaded and ready to go I want it to function properly with minimal fuss and nonsense.  This way I can focus my attention on other things and keep more up to date.  I should get to this now, thank god for W3Schools and they\’re exceptionally helpful tutorials!  At least in some cases I have the upper hand in the sense that I self taught myself enough function HTML to built websites back in the day but I need to kick it up a few notches and expand my knowledge of CSS.  Wish me luck!

This weekend\’s to do list:

Finish off my FAQ\’s
Finish off my couch
Create some CSS pages (I gave up for the night!)
Clean my apt
Install my job apps (gave up on this too because I can\’t get it to install correctly!

Starting anew…

I\’ll be the first one to admit that i\’m pretty bad at keeping up with any blog I have ever had.  I still have one that I semi-contribute to  but that\’s (at least in my opinion) most worked based stuff that\’s geared towards the horrors of culinary life and smartass bitching and carrying on about whatever I feel compelled to bitch about that day.

I did at one point maintain an IAM page, but that too has lost its luster for me (long before Rachel took it upon herself to TOS me) and I felt myself updating there less and less and the \”community\” as a whole for me really lost its appeal and was only keeping it around for networking purposes only.

Anyway, moving along…  This is just for me and me alone, to post whatever the hell I feel like!  Thankfully its the long weekend this weekend so I get an extra day off this week YAY!  Nothing like having three days off in a row 🙂  Maybe I can finally get some work done for once.  I\’ve been slacking off terribly in that department I must admit, but my motivation to get things down has fallen to the wayside for a number of reasons.

Mostly because of me and partly because I need to get my staff organized and start \”assinging\” tasks so that this gets up and running faster then I would on my own.  In any case I got some things taken care of on my own.  I\’m rather impressed with myself for doing as much!  Somewhat goes with the saying if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself and so that\’s how its going to go (for some things at least)!

Today was nice, John came over for brunch and we just hung out and watched TV and took a nap on my couch this afternoon and had dinner later on.  I can\’t wait until its actually warmer out so that its a better incentive to actually go outside for a change!

Sometime this weekend I have to finish off the re-upholstering of my couch and the bench in my living room and start spring cleaning too.  My biggest priority though  is getting more work done on my site.  I decided that CSS is the way to go, as opposed to HTML.  A lot less code bloat and a cleaner appearance overall.  Going to be a pain in my ass to re-work the whole thing but in the end it will be far more worth it I think.  Thankfully for the most part I just need to build a template and do a whole lot of copy/paste with some minor formatting.   Aside from that, I don\’t plan on doing much but relaxing and of course trying to get my life in order which seems to be a never ending battle of sorts…
