a grey beard and a wet blanket

here we are, coming up on march 1st already.  it was halloween just yesterday, and before that 4th of july.  it’s funny how the calendar sneaks up on you when your busy being distracted by the clock.

so i’m preparing to move out into my own apartment in march.  i’ve got a few apartments in mind, it’s a matter of talking to the people and having the money for my deposit.  i’m not scared, not really even nervous; i would say i’m more apprehensive about what is to come.

i’ve been putting in a lot of hours at work recently; they pushed our website redesign go live date back again.  i dont know if we’re deferring the pain from the lack of testing we’ve been able to do, or deferring the pain of the project that wont die.  either way, with this delay comes more work.

mandy and i have been talking about our future together a lot lately.  for once i’m to a place in my life where i can see my future coming together.  so where i say when i say i’m not scared of moving out onto my own, i’m really not.  i really know that this is just another step in the direction of where i want to go in the long run.  it’s just another foot print in the sand that will lead me home if i ever need to back up.

recently i’ve found myself burned out on, well, almost everything.  and burned out is probably not even a good term for it.  it’s more like a sick case of the blahs.  sometimes i realise how alone we really are in this world and no matter how much you believe God and all of your people will have your back, it’s still a big place that’s easy to get lost in if you dont keep the blinders on your horse and a pretty lady at your side.

anyways, keep your socks on and don’t tell anyone where you hide your car keys from yourself.

posts of new

i was messing with mint yesterday on this site and realised i have not updated here in a while. work has been insanely busy and when i get home, i’m either looking for a game to play to get my mind off of things, or i’m looking at not touching a computer again.

now that i have email setup @winkydo.net i think i’m going to look into doing more posts to this blog from email or my cell phone. i would like to keep this site thriving into 2007. in 2006 my blog posts numbers where higher than ever before. i enjoy looking back at what i’ve done and actually being able to remmeber what i did “a year ago today.”

anyways, hope everyone is well. new posts to come soon.

mandy bought me a new camera for valentines day. i got it a little early so i could go take pictures with her and her new D50. so, now i upgraded my flickr account to pro and i’ve been playing around with GIMP, the open source photoshop alternative.
