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.

Later…

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.

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.
Later…

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.

This should be a good day today. First off, I am off today and tomorrow from work. Secondly, I am going to be spenidng this evening in the company of Jewel. This is really the highlight of the day for me, obviously. Plus, the weather out is beautiful, I got my new issue of Maximum PC today, and finally got my XBox to stream my media like I want to this morning.

It’s really rare that’s things go this well for me all in on day. Just thought I would share in the glory.

I’m not sure if you can take cameras into the concert tonight, but I will have my cell phone with me, and eitehr way I’m going to try and grab a few pics with my phone. If I do you’ll most certaintly see them posted here later on tonight!

Even though certain aspects of my life seem to be hanging on by only a thread, other aspects that I have been seeking after are starting to fall into place all by themselves. I’ve always sought harmony and balance in my life, but I am starting to come to the realization that maybe you can’t have a little harmony without a wee bit of chaos to balance it out.

Case in point…

My life at work is deterorating daily. We are under-staffed, overworked, and everyone is getting very punchy and short with eveyone else. This DOES NOT make for a good, productive working environment. Considering that I spend at least 9 hours a day there, sometime 7 days in any given week, you can imagine the impact all of this negative energy has on the rest of my life. And yet, while things seem to be falling apart there, in my personal life, things are getting quite better. For the first time, all of the people I have wanted to have close to me in my daily life are.

So I guess I’ll just have to live with the old yin/yang balancing act for a while. It’s really not so nad if you think about it though. I’d rather take the bad at work because I don’t have to live there (although it feels like it some weeks), and I’d rather have my personal life a lot better then my professional life. After all, jobs change, friends are forever.
