I have found evidence of my inner dorkdum. Not that I really need to have evidence, but what a find this is. Pac-Man Fever the album on vinyl!! How hilarious would it be to have a karaoke night with songs from this and other 'mistakes'. Find some Eddie Murphy songs and you'll have yourself one hell of a party.
Should I sell my CD's now?

Now that I am transferring all my music to my hard drive, do I sell the CD's to eliminate clutter?

What do you think?
Ok, getting ready for summer, which now means..

I need to get a wireless router. Thanks to some recommendations from the good people of Xbox Live, I am going to pick up a Dlink 624. Great range and that means WiFi by the pool. Oh yeah! Now I can listen to KCRW and get some sun!!

Jinny's birthday was a blast! A lot of fun had by all!!

Do you not wish this was your bus driver when you were a kid..

As you can see, fun night with all the girls in green.. Party theme being Envy, and Envy is green.

Meet my friend Jinny.. Know her for years.. Happy 27th girl! Hope you had a blast..

Ok.. So this girl has heart.. I mean that in the most sarcastic way. Never dance with the devil in the pale moonlight.

The Blue Eyed Devil and the Japher. Are we causing a ruckus? Why yes, yes we are....

I love Wi-Fi but does it love me?

So right now I am sitting outside at a cafe updating my blog. Yes, this is old news to some, and I was fortunate before to have a smartphone that I could do all this from before, except on a much smaller scale. I have been missing on the whole Wi-Fi craze for so long and I can see why there are so many hot-spots now.

But connecting has been a real problem for me. For some reason I can't connect half he time.. I will figure it out..

Oh, and I am up to 3 gigs on my iTunes..
Getting my music to the new era...

Now that I have a laptop it is time to finally put most of my music in digital form. The craze of iTunes and iPods is so understandable to me now. (iPod will be next purchase) It has to be one of the easiest programs to use. I started this morning at the crack of dawn and have 32 albums imported so far, another 400 to go. I probably will only do a 100 until I get an external hard drive. I already have 2 gigs of music.. (like 398 songs or something) Ok, now 33 albums... How many left now?

Which iPod should I get?

When Windows 98se finally gasps its last breath..

Last night I played some Halo 2 and had some winds, finally! But, while I was playing my old Compaq desktop fried out. At least the monitor did. So I do what any person would do and finally update myself to XP and got a good Toshiba laptop for about $650. I don't need much, I surf, blog, and do email. This was a good unit for the price..

The return of Sweet John..

Last night, as you can see with some of the pictures was a lot of fun. Gene, Chris, and Tim throw a great bash. I had a couple of drinks (like every couple minutes it seems by the pictures) and met some fun people. Of course they ran out of beer and alcohol early so a road trip to Club 241 made the night a little better. I met some new friends (my new girls from Reed's Supper Club), and saw some old friends.. Good times. I just wish I didn't have to go to work for a 12 hours shift on a Saturday..

New tuaca friends..

Did you see I caught a snowflake on my tongue?

I think I spilled some tuaca on my neck.. A little to the left.. Ok, right there...

Grrr.. Do I really suck at this?
So I have had my PSP about a month now and I can't get past this one race on Ridge Racer. It is driving me nuts.. I get 4th place constantly no matter what I do and I have to place 3rd or better to progress..
This brings me to Halo 2. I played last night with the regular adults on Xbox Live and as soon as I join them we lose, lose, lose. I think I may need to find my inner 12yr old to be able to keep up with everyone else. How is it 12yr olds can play video games better than anyone? Then again, this is coming from a 35yr old who spends $400 on a PSP and videogames for it.

So I went to Dallas Nightclub last night. Fun. Cheap beers, gorgeous Texas women, and did I mention cheap beers? I have a little crush on this girl wearing an Orange Crush T-Shirt. I actually want that shirt. I love 70's/80's retro T's.

I included text from an email that a close friend of mine received while at work from a guy she has been seeing for about a month. Now before people start guy bashing, this email could just as well come from a woman as well.

The dating world is a strange place right now. It's almost as if we have been mentally altered into treating people as objects that we must find the best one for the best price. You meet them online, in a bar, walking the dog, or at work and after trying them on and comparing it to the others you are currently wearing to see if it goes to the next step or back on the rack.

I can understand the feeling of 'not putting all your eggs in one basket', but what happened to taking a risk or the good ol' going with your gut and just try to concentrate in one direction. Has the world of 200 cable channels and 45 different coffee drinks make us treat people the same way?

A couple years ago I was dating this girl who after a few weeks decided to go back to her exboyfriend as he wanted to give things another go. What was not told to me is that I was the control subject, the guinea pig, used to make the decision of going back, or trying something new.

You all should know how much the 80's movies speak to me on this.. But even then, it was someone using someone else to get back at someone for not liking them cause they liked someone but they didn't notice them but they still wanted them but their friends didn't like them dating ...(one long 80's cliche of dating diatribe) Those were harsh realities, but what is with the situations of putting someopne through the gamut of emotion just to decide you don't want them.

If I had that answer, well, I would have my own book deal, a radio and TV program, etc... Has it gone to the point that we are so afraid of missing out or being hurt that we have to be the ones to inflict the first strike?

I hope not.. But then again, I am guilty just like the rest..
Do you think that emailing someone is the way to do this, or do you think that in person is the way to go..

Oh, and for you Sex in the City fans.. 'He broke up with me.. ON A POST IT!'
