So, I’m finally on vacation, and just getting over some serious sleep deprevation. In fact, I slept until my sister called me and woke me up at 12:30pm today, and for the first time in about 4 days, I feel somewhat rested.

Today is supposed to be my “work day”, so that I might screw off for the rest of my vacation, but since I decided to catch up on my sleep this morning rather than cut my grass before fixing and pointing my porch, the ceremonial painting of the new porch may have to be postponed until tomorrow. I know you could really care less, but it’s on my mind right now.

Also, and this is something I have been trying to do now for a week, I’m going to attempt to bring the new site online in the next few days. The main page is done, as is the new blogging system. All that remains is figuring out a way to bring over my old posts to this new system, and coming up with a nice, clean manu system to navigate to my as-yet undesigned other sections. So, maybe tonight when it gets all dark out and stuff I’ll work on that.

Right now I’m off to my sister’s house to hook up lights and a sound system for her 24th birthday party.

Yep! Even though I just got home from work (check the time) and I have to be back at work tomorrow at 6am, as of between 2pm-3pm tomorrow afternoon I will be on vacation for a full week baby! Be sure to check the moblog as I’ll be sure to keep updating it while on vacation. Now…time to see if I can get some sleep.

Well, since I have apparently lost my old domain (twev1701.com), I can feel free with finishing off the new site design and maybe post it later on today or sometime this week.

You know, it really sucks that I lost the domain that I have had now for 3 years, but maybe this is a good thing in the end. Sometimes un-expected change can be a good thing.

A good friend of mine (Miss L) sent me a few pics tonight from her vacation in Europe. She sent me one pic in particular that really affected me. Without knowing it, she had just done one of the sweetest things anyone has ever done for me. Even though we’re only friends, that pic affected me more then any gift I have ever received from any girlfriend I have ever had. Gifts like this come from the heart and that’s really what matters. Something doesn’t have to cost hundreds of dollars to make it special. Something as simple as a digital picture sent to me instantly means more to me then a $500 sword purchased for me by my ex-girlfriend.

It’s really funny how someone you have only known for 8 months knows you better then someone you were dating for almost 7 years.

I had a lot to deal with regarding the past yesterday. I saw someone at work whom I haven’t seen in nearly ten years, and then I was haning out in a place with certain people that haven’t come together like that in about 8 years. A very weird day indeed. Truly something that I will be rolling around in my heard for the next few days.

Although I did come away from everything with one revelation. Things usually aren’t as bad as you remembered they were. Always give people a second chance…you’d be surprised what happens.

I’m coming up on a time of year when I get all reflective about things and tend to make a lot of changes to my life. Case in point, I was up until 3am last night working on a new site design. In addition to being very reflective, I will also be spending a little more time away from my computer as I find that long walks tend to help my thought processes.

So, I may be posting here more than usual, or, I may not be posting that much at all. I think that I’ll probably end up somewhere in the mioddle where I post about 3 times a week or so. Some weeks probably more, some weeks less perhaps.

Well, I just got back from one of my infamous walks, and I think I’m going to enjoy a cold beverage on the porch before I have to get ready to go to *yuck* work.

To say that the conert last night was amazing would be doing Jewel a great dis-service. I could have not asked for a better show. Not only was it just her with her acoustic guitar all night, but after a song or two, she would stop for sometimes 10 minutes and just talk with the crowd or tell a story. It wasn’t what you would typically think of a “concert”, but more along the lines of a coffee house type of performance. In this g33k’s eyes, it was a night well spent.
