Well as you can see I changed the theme of the site. There are still a few very minor bugs that I need to work out but I doubt anyone will notice them but me. This was a lot more work than I was barganing for that’s for sure. The whole process was incredibly frustrating to say the least. I had to totally start from scratch with the pictures area so any comments or descriptions that were there are gone. I got the newest version of wordpress and gallery installed and fought forever to make them cooperate, and farted around forever to get the new theme to look right. Also went around in the background deleting a bunch of clutter that has been building up on the server. Deleted Adam’s webpage too since he has never used it since I set it up. At least Pat and Mom use theirs. That’s all I have for now, I’m tired of sitting at the computer.

(Read on …)

Well it’s been 10 days since I’ve written anything on here. Suppose I better put something down. It looks like the pictures section is broken. I didn’t even do anything to it to make it happen either. I hate when crap like that happens because I have no idea what’s the matter with it.

My birthday was last Saturday. Bleh. I can’t say I had a good time. Not because it wasn’t condusive to fun, it was just me. I don’t really like my birthday that much. Just another reminder that it’s been another year and I’m still not that happy. Kind of like Christmas I suppose. Depressing.

I am getting tired of being busy all the time. I took today off work becasue I just need a little time to depressureize I suppose. I haven’t gotten anything at all accomplished today and I’m fine with that. I didn’t even get out of bed until after noon. I was possibly going to fly up to Wichita with Ben in the Bonanza on a parts run today but it didn’t happen. He said he was going to let me land heh. Oh well, probably would have had a news story tonight on the news with a smoldering pile of wreckage in a random field someplace.

I got a new phone last Saturday. The fancy Palm Pilot phone crapped out on me again and this time it did it for good. Threw it into the wall a few times and then took it out and ran it over with the 35,000 pound jet fuel truck. That made me feel better. Pretty much turned it into plastic dust. It was a good excuse to make the switch from Alltel over to Cingular. I’ve been thinking about that for a while. I had a great experience with the switchover too. Went in and told them I wanted my number switched over and a plan and phone and I was out of there in 7 minutes flat with a new RAZR phone. Every time I had to go deal with Alltel it was a big pain in the ass filled with waiting and answers of no we can’t do that. If I want to switch over to the new fancy Palm phone again all I have to do is get one off of ebay and swap my card out of the RAZR into the new phone and thats it. No waiting for 45 minutes for someone at the Alltel store to help me.

Hopefullly nothing going on with me until Sunday night when I am going to Genoa to visit the parents. Might go out tonight or Saturday night if something comes up. Who knows. Monday back to work (triple time) and Tuesday back to school and work. The quarter is almost over. Still got a paper to write and some finals to take then no classes until about the 8th of July.

Link of the day: This is a pretty typical conversation in dispatch where I work. That’s Justin telling the story, Chuck secretly filming it on his digital camera, me leaning back listening, and Jordan walking through calling the Com Center on the phone to get access to go fuel Northwest Airlines. I forgot I even had this video. This was back when I was working the weekend shift.

Well if everything goes right I should be completely debt free by about the 10th of August. It would have been July or possibly even late June but I had to get a new computer because the other one took a dump. It will be the first time since I was 18 years old that I will be completely debt free. I won’t know what to do heh. I could have had it done a long time ago but you know how it goes, it’s more fun to piss away the money on fun stuff than to pay off a debt. I have the online banking all set up to pay $2000 on Friday and I will pay another good chunk next month. After that I am going to start dumping money into the brokerage account that I opened a few months back. Hopefully in about 5 or 6 years when my credit is restored it will have built up into a nice down payment on a house. No more crappy basement apartments or roommates. Something of my own that I can do whatever I want to do with. That will be nice.

I finally passed a Microbiology test. I got an 88% on it. Normally I wouldn’t be excited about an 88 since I regularly get 100′s in other classes but in this class I was ecstatic. Way better than the 58% and 62% I got on the first 2. I was sitting at exactly a 70% overall in that class before that grade and now I am up to a 75% overall. Gives me a little breathing room since the VA will want about 2 grand back if I get less than a 70. Well I better head to bed, I’m tired.

Happy 17th Birthday to my brother Adam (May 17th)!  Didn’t get you anything.  I’m sure you didn’t get me anything for my birthday either.  One more year and you’re free!  Maybe you can live in low income housing next to Pat!  Ummm no, go to college instead.  (you too Pat)
