Cloud - Dance?
 It's been a crazy last 24 hours. I took in this stray dog to help out Matt and Lance. It was fun. it was hard though cause we basically had to sneak around the whole time. It would have been a lot more enjoyable had I not had to do that. This morning I brought her to SPCA, however they couldn't take her in and the place they sent me was closed on Mondays. I did however meet this funny lady there. She had basically walked like 20 miles from her home to the SPCA to drop off her dogs. She definitely did the right thing. She knew that she was no longer able to care for all 4 of them. I am glad she made the journey. She said she had started at like 2pm yesterday, finally made it to the SPCA around 12am and ended up sleeping outside the SPCA until the morning. It was really funny chatting with her. She referred to the Lancer as a spider (I assume because the Mitsubishi logo sort of looks like a spider?!) and told me it was up there between the Mercedes Benzes, Lexus' and Ferraris. If only...haha. Anyways, I did have fun with the dog, it's been crazy.

Work is going well. Actually very well. I am pretty psyched to see what the next 2 months have to bring. I really hope I can save up some money again cause I really need to move to a dog friendly apartment complex. I found out it may not be as expensive as I thought it would be to make the move with renting a U-Haul and all. I think the most pain in the ass part will be getting my bed and this computer desk into it (from the 3rd floor where I live now). I am really hoping they have an apartment studio at the time I need to move. I really really need this to work out.

I should also mention I went to Vermont the other week for my best friends wedding. It was really good seeing Greg and Jess and Keatz. The wedding....well it was a wedding. I've never been a fan of them, but it was good to see my friends. I also hung out with Sam, we went on a hike which was really fun. I hung out with Abby, we went horseback riding which was awesome. I love my horse so much. The horse show at Towne Ayer was also amazing and fun!

At the moment, everything is Moretown is offline because of a failed modem. It's really annoying because nothing is backing up and I can't do any work on websites because all the SVN repositories are there. I am hoping to have it all back online by the end of this week. Tomorrow I need to contact GMA and get directions on how to setup the new modem in bridge mode. Then hopefully Morgan can make it over there and get that done for me. I am going to see if he can boot Percheron into the old kernel so I can copy over the new kernel with ext2 support so I can then use that new kernel haha. I mean, right now I can't even access the box since it's all down, blah!

Work tonight was good. It was a bit slow, but then it picked up and the last bit of the night flew by. It was good seeing Christman and Simsic, funny peepz! I wanted a baby kitty so badly haha.

Well I should get to bed. I am exhausted!

Exploding Dog - We Grew Apart
Life is far to short to be miserable. I know life can really suck sometimes, but when it's good, please try to enjoy it as much as you can. It so sad to see someone who is so beautiful destroy it all and not care about it at all or anyone else. Unfortunately sometimes, you just have to cut your losses and move on. We certainly had fun and I will not deny that, but there were time where I wanted nothing but to run away and never look back. You just have to enjoy what you have an not let other people bring you down.

That said, I've been really good besides the above. Work has been really amazing! I've been getting a bunch of Level 2 things to work on which is really awesome. I've been doing some server fscks as well as an OS Reload or two. I've also been shadowing a new guy at work which is going well. The other night Lance, Vince, Katie, David and I went out for a 3am breakfast at the Denny's across the street. I love hanging out with those peepz outside of work. It's nice. I would however lean towards becoming a shift lead over a Level 2. Level 2 is HARD! Hell, Level 1 is hard lol. I do enjoy a good challenge though.

Last weekend, I pretty much hung out with DaveC all weekend haha. We haxxed his xBox which may have inadvertently broke his fan-set. I have a hunch it might have been my PSU that did that, but he seems to have hacked together a new fan and gotten that works. We also hacked my Wii (in-which nothing broke). It's BEEN AMAZING. I've never used my Wii so much since I've gotten it (which was like 4 years ago or something haha). I just beat The New Super Mario Bros. Wii. I really enjoyed the game, a lot of fun. There was definitely a few frustrating spots but I managed to suck it up. I do wish Yoshi could have been there in every level! My next game will likely be Resident Evil 4 (Wii).

I've been trying to keep up with my new blogs and sites. [info - staff] morgan and I are also trying to refresh our movie rental application. I've tasked her with moving most of the code into the new theme/design we've built. She's doing pretty good so far. I think it gives her something to do, since she doesn't do much of anything anymore :P Poor girl. She also mentioned she wanted to start work back up on Confessh.us as well. That would definitely be cool. I know we've got a few bugs and tickets that could be completed. It'll definitely be a lot of work though.

Not sure much else is going on. I feel like I have a million things going on, but I am glad I got the chance to just spew out whatever was in my mind now. I really want to get a German Shepherd, so I have a feeling, come October I will be moving into a new apartment. I visited this one place the other day, Providence at Champions and it looks okay. They confirmed they would let me have a German Shepherd. The one thing I didn't like was how it's farther from work :( There's also one other place which is actually closer to work which allows large breed dogs, but they haven't gotten back to me yet. This all reminds me I need to go refresh the Houston SPCA Dog pages as well as look at CraigsList.

Tonight we're planning on seeing Toy Story 3, that should be awesome. I gotta tell Dave how well the Wii is working out (considering he came over at like 2am and helped me to get it working). This weekend should be fun! I've got the HAAUG meeting tomorrow as well with Matt. I hope I'll be able to stay away :P

Horse - Endurance
I've been pretty busy lately with work and my new weekend activity, working at the Houston SPCA. It's really great and it gives me time to be outside and getting exercise. My plan was to work in their barn just mucking stalls or grooming horses or whatever. However, you need to complete 20 hours in another area within the place and then you're on a wait list to work in the barn. I guess that's okay, they make you work with large dogs, which is fine by me, but I guess I'm not seeing the correlation between large dogs and horses. The largest dog they have there was a German Shepard, which...is probably no bigger then a Shetland pony haha. Oh well, I think I'll enjoy the dog walking and the time being spent outside with some fun dogs.

Work is work. Last week was decent, got to do some IS work...which makes the time go by rather quickly cause you're always working on something...however tickets have definitely been flowing in, I don't think there was a slow point in tickets at all last week. We've started the HG's Biggest Loser contest at work, I've got Chef in my group so that's awesome. I did a bit of working out today actually while watching Jackass. I also finished up another movie, GO which was pretty funny/weird/awesome. I'm also in the process of watching through Bamboo Blade which is actually a lot more fun then I thought it was going to be.

Hung out with my friends the last 2 nights, Matt and Markita. On Friday we got eatz and watched some Top Gear eps at the apartment. Also watched a couple episodes of The Office which I'd never seen, pretty funny though. On Saturday we had chicken pot pie which was amazing, and then watched The Hangover which is amazing. Then we played clue, Matt cheated :) Hahaha.

Today, nothing much going on...I've been having less to do since all these servers are running unusually well lol. Not having to fix shit all the time, Scribbld has been real good on the new server. I need to figure out what we're going to do with the servers in Vermont. I could definitely use Friesian as a media server, buy those 6x1TB drives. Put them in RAID5 probably...whatever will give me the most space with at least 1 okay to fail drive lol.

Been loving the Lancer, I really need to clean her up, hopefully sometime this week it'll be warm enough to do so. Not much else going on this week, I think Chef and I might go out biking one night after work, but depending on the temperature we'll see how that goes. I've gotta get myself into work in about 30 minutes. I can't wait to just come home and relax :P
