Been a couple days since an update. nothing really interesting
has happened in the past few days. just been a kinda slow
week, enh, what can I say. I got some parts in the mail today
for one of my projects I’ve been working on, so that was pretty
exciting, because im nearing the finishing stages off this project,
Im quite happy about that, because back earlier this year when
I decided to take on this project, when calculating time and costs
and such for it, my personal deadline was around July 15th or so,
which I figured was about how long it was gonna take, but I’ll have
it done a bit sooner than that, which im quite excited about. Once
it’s done there will be some testing time to get kinks and such
worked out, when everything is totally done after that and it’s
working 100%, I’ll finish up some pics and the writeup I’ll be doing
on it, and most likely post all of that on this site when it’s all done.
So. It’s the end of march. This has been one of the most interesting
months of my life to say the least. Good thing I’ve got this
log/journal going, I can look back on what was going on in life at
any given time whether it was good or bad. *shrug*. And april’s
right around the corner. (a few hours away actually.) Gee Time
totally just flies lately. Tomorrow’s April 1st, better known as
April Fools Day to most, although I play pranks all year long,
April 1st is the easiest day to get away with them. hehe. and then
we’ve got Daylight Savings Time on sunday. ugh. waking up an
hour earlier, that’ll be fun. not. luckily me being the geek I am,
most any clock on anything I have set’s itself on daylight
savings, so I wont have to be bothered with that. hehe. Other than
that, I’ve just been preparing for some stuff that’s coming up in
the next few months and such, playing guitar, and that’s about
all I’ve been upto. I’ve also had a lot of sleeping problems lately,
which have been good and bad, I’ve been going to bed the same
times as usual, maybe a little earlier on some nights, my problem
is the morning’s, the past couple of weeks I’ve been waking up at
weird times, in some cases almost 3-4 hours earlier than usual,
which is really throwing me because it’s not giving me much sleep,
I try to go back to sleep but have to be careful to not go into too
deep a sleep that I can’t wake up later, the upside to all of this is
that I’ve been dreaming a lot more lately, which I hardly ever do,
albeit I’ve been having some of the weirdest dreams I’ve ever had
in my life. Example, last night, I had a dream, I was cruising around
in the backseat of a jeep or something, driving around some town
I’ve never seen before, with a bunch of friends, and we stopped
somewhere, and there was a old guy with a pet chicken, and the chicken
somehow got upset, and chased me all over the town, and then some
woman took the chicken, and so I tried to get the chicken back from
her to give back to the old man, and she was a very angry woman,
who obviously had a hard life of sorts, I followed her home pleading
for the chicken who she was gonna take home and feed to her family,
and when I got to her home, she had a lot of family problems, and her
and her kids didnt get along too well, and in the end I made the kids
and mother see what they had with each other and how lucky they
should be to have each other, and they all cried and rejoiced, and in
return, the woman gave me the chicken for bringing happiness to
her family, and the chicken didnt chase me anymore, and was nice to
me, and it became a very ‘boy and his dog’ kinda relationship
between me and the chicken, and so I went on my way, walking him
home to his owner, and the dream ended there. Yeah, that’s right,
Im nuts. lol. Totally weird dream, I can’t figure it out, the meaning,
the signifigance, it was just weird. If someone knows that stuff on
how to translate the meaning of dreams or has any ideas, feel free
to email me on that one, because that was just the weirdest dream
I’ve had in a long time. Anyway. Im gonna go now, hope none of
you reading this get fooled tomorrow!

HOLY COW! UNBELIEVABLE! SOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITING!
CAN YOU FEEL THE CRAZINESS! WHOOOAAAAAAAAA!
Hehe. Now wasnt that a healthy dose of crazy-go-nuts
excitement? Nothing really fun happened today, I just figured
that’d be a fun way to get your attention. Wasnt that fun!
hehe. anyway, enough goofiness from me. Same ol day at
work, a monday. hehe. then again im sure there are quite
a few of you who know exactly what im talkin about. hehe.
I actually got into work today just as they were sending
everyone home, and they didnt want me to have driven all
the way out to work for nothing, so I got to stay. It’s sad
that im working part time right now and getting in more
hours in some cases than my full time co-workers. yikes.
meh, but the sun was out today, and that made me smile.
So many little things in life most people take for granted, I
Know that out time on earth can be cut short at any time,
so I try to live life to my fullest and take pleasure in even
the simplest things, in this case, the bright shining sun.
How are all of you? whoever you are, reading this. You
should email me using the link at the top of the page, I
always like to hear how everyone is and what they’ve been
up to. As far as me, well, if you read this, for the most part
you know what I’ve been up to. hehe other than that, I’ve
mainly just been doing a lot of guitar playing lately, I love
playing guitar, always have, it just totally takes me away
from life. It’s interesting when I think about it, I’ve been
playing guitar for over 5 years, unbelievable that it’s been
that long, so much has happened in that period of time in
my life, my world always changing, so fast, sometimes my
head would spin. But through all that time, my guitar has
been there, a tool for expressing these years, my life, my
good times, my bad times, happiness, sadness, joy, anger,
frustration, confusion, emptiness, loneliness, craziness,
excitement, what ever it was, my guitars were always there,
waiting to be picked up and played, waiting for me to tell my
stories of whatever life was to me at that time. Music has
always held great importance to me, music is and has been
somewhat of a guardian angel, or a consciousness, a friend,
guiding me in many times of the path I walk in life. and for now,
i continue that walk, hoping that I’ll meet happiness along and
at the end of my paths. I’m gonna go enjoy the rest of my night,
I hope you the reader enjoy yours as well. have fun.

Well, I dont know about you guys and gals, but, I certainly
had a pretty swell weekend. Thursday was a typical workday,
i was jumping for joy when it was over, hurried to get home
so I could toss off the nice work garb and put on something
a little more me, Blue jeans and T-shirt, which is totally me,
and totally says ‘relaxed’ to me. Friday morning I woke up
did some work on some projects I had been working on, and
then friday night I went out to a friends’ barbecue, which was
lot’s of fun, as they always are, good times were had all
around, and then saturday morning, me and a bunch of
friends went and played paintball at “Splat! Paintball” in ogden,
it was definitly a lot of fun, I hadnt played paintball in a few
years, and totally kicked a lot of butt for my first comeback
game. Half the time people would surrender to me rather
than getting hit up close or anything, because the style I play
intimdates people. haha, it was fun. There was this girl there
I thought was kinda cute, and we were playing paintball (might I
add, there was something about a girl who comes and gets dirty
and plays with the guys that slightly was a turn on. hehe. *shrug*)
but anyway, back to the story, she and I were playing paintball
together and having a good time, and at one point she accidentally
got hit in the neck by one of my paintballs, which gave her a bit
of a redspot on her neck, I felt really bad and apologized, we had
a good laugh, but what was funnier was I later found out that one of
the other guys that was there was her prom date, she was there
with a bunch of friends for prom, which made me feel even more
bad, her having to clean the paint out of her skin before getting
ready that night, and such, im sure she’ll remember me a bit more
than her prom date, lol. especially when she goes home after the
prom and explains how the big red spot on her neck didnt come
from her date. lol. after I was done paintballin’, I went and got
some lunch/dinner with some friends, and then came home. It
was definitly a fun day. Tomorrow’s sunday, im sure it will be
somewhat droll. hehe. but another week will come, and that
means each day will bring me closer to the upcoming weekend
Until then, I’m out.
