Subjects I will attempt to cover:
1) Fifteen minutes fast
2) Taxes
3) Jobfront
4) Girlfriend!
5) Jack Bauer
6) EEN vs ING (*@&#%(*@&#(*%&@#(*$
First and foremost I want to plug a band I saw a little while ago..
Theyre called Fifteen minutes fast and i suppose you could call them indie pop. I think they sound pretty damn good myself and i’ve been kinda pushing them onto my friends :)

Where oh where to begin? Tax season is upon us and etrade and my company are working together to dilligently fuck us out of our money. First things first, if anybody knows how to create tax shelters, PLEASE TELL ME. next year i want to be prepared for when uncle sam tries to stick his wrinkled old dick in my ass again. Moving along, i owe about 900 dollars in taxes this year. Primarily because I think i fucked pup on my taxes - claiming what etrade said the yeild was, instead of how much money I actually got (difference of about 1200 dollars). Regardless, I paid 124 dollars to hrblock to find out that i owe the goverment approx 810 or so. ow. The donate button is alive and well for those of you who would like to contribute to the “fly adora back to dan” fund :)
Jobfront! - I got an email from a headhunter offering 35 dollars an hour for a cisco guy, asking if he could send my resume to sony. Without hesitation i said yes. Alternatively, there are a couple sysadmin jobs open where I work now, but I dont think they want to hire me because theyre forcing people to have mcse. How many MCSE people do you know that REALLY know what theyre doing? *MAYBE* 1/100? *groan*.. anyway, if anyones looking for a sysadmin, let me know :)
Note: I sent this guy a follow up email asking him if he got my resume, and I didnt get a response from him, so I’m guessing that either they werent that serious, or they just dont give a fuck. *shrug*
Dearest Lisa - I dont think I could have found someone more suited for me. I talk about building a 500gig raid, and she gets turned on. HOW AWESOME IS THAT?! Im not even sure I can go on - if i keep typing im very opt to have the majority of the people reading this to stop reading ;b
On the subject of Lisa, I recently just bought her a ticket to come fly out here! again.. Course this time it was a little more costly cuz im gonna have her for 11 days >:>. That means for the next few weeks I’ll be begging people to donate again :\ fair price to pay i suppose.. heh

If you dont know who Jack Bauer is, I suggest you turn on fox at 9pm on tuesday nights. I’d say at least twice a week I feel like im this guy, based solely on work stuff, and some extra curricular stuff. I’m always juggling 4 people at work, phonecalls, emails, irc, aim, Lisa, bosses, sales peope.. PHEW! Some days i feel like im going to go home and just fall into a coma. The one one solution I can see as being the sayall endall to this problem is getting myself off the phones. Once i get myself off the phones my life will get a hell of a lot easier.
And one major major pet peeve. This I dont get. There are people that just.. dont.. speak right.. in my opinion. Some of the people that I have heard do this are very inteligible people and likely have a masters, or at least a degree. Others are cokeheads, or brainless pop band singers. People who pronnounce the ‘ING’ at the ends of words as ‘EEN’ drive me absolutely bonkers. People who say ‘goeeen’ or ‘driveeen’. I cant help but yell and flap my arms saying “THERES A FUCKING G IN DRIVING(*#% AND THERE ARE NO E’s(@#&%(*@#&” I dunno, I guess I just had to get it out of my system. Bleh.
On that note, I’ll get back to the coding projects. The advice collumn has run into some snags. My host doesnt want me to use form mail, so I’m going to have to write a backend for the thing.. either that or do it by hand. Im not anticipating much in the way of traffic for it, so I guess I’ll just put it up by hand, and build it up as it goes.
My friend Lacey, interestingly enough wants to take me shopping soon to buy lingerie for Lisa. What in interesting proposal. I’ve never had anyone want to help me choose what underwear to buy my girlfriend. heh. I just purchased a new shotgun and I cant wait to take it out >:>.. though.. I still need to come up with money to buy a hard drive for the linux box.. which.. im.. not sure where Im going to get at this point :).. the shotgun cost me a bit more than I was expecting, but I ate the cost because I really wanted the thing. None the less, you guys should expect some more shooting videos.
HERES the latest one.. its in divx. Not very long though.
DONATE DONATE DONATE! Adora needs a new pair of shoes!.. er. . well.. a plane ticket?.. yeah.. one of those :)
eof!
