Dating....very interesting process. The dread and excitement of meeting someone new, them getting to know you, you getting to know you .... an easy process for some, for others its more of a struggle. I guess I'm kinda in the middle, leaning more towards the "struggle" side. I guess what makes it a struggle for me is seeing if people are willing to understand the person that I am. I tend to be a type of person that stays pretty low key if I'm not really used to a situation. Even then my change is on a schedule, not really one of drastic but not really grdual, I think it just takes time to get to know anybody and I'm surely no different. So I guess I'm going to give this whole dating thing a decent shot since I really haven't in the past. I have to make sure I remember that no one is going to know you right off the back and misconceptions are common. I guess in the end what I want to find is someone who has a better understanding of who I am through interacting with me.

Well my son should be here while I'm at work, him and his mother should have come in fairly recently. He could of left her at home but I don't think they allow 6 year olds to drive. I guess I'm going through the more difficult phase of the whole daddy process, dealing w/ the other parent. Not really just dealing w/ them but dealing with them when there is a disagreement. I was asked for advice on what they should do, I gave the advice and know I'm seen as controlling someone else's life for it.... ok, fine no more advice. But this will pass though, so I'm not worried. Now I just need to get things cleared up with my mother.

Oh, the freakin house is still not finished yet. :|

Damn its hot... and tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter. All I need now is a place to go to see pretty women with very little clothes.

Well today is going to be another boring post of what I did today... I worked on my house. I cut the plywood to put down in my laundry room so I can put the vinyl on top of it. I also finished the last 2 pieces of the hardwood floor for the hallway... other than that I did some more cleaning.

You know something that I noticed that is pretty funny is that alot of the girls I meet now don't eat red meat. I'm not sure when it happened but all of a sudden everyone is a vegetarian. Interesting....

See... That's what I get for not checking emails at work, I missed a 3 o'clock meeting today. They didn't say anything about it, but I know they're going to bring it up at a later date.
That pt test was no joke, my muscles are still killin me.... I need to start working out more. What did I get accomplished today...Well I finished putting in my tile floor today (somewhat, still needs grout) I'm tired... I'll be back.

I went and bought that tile to put in front of my back door, it went down pretty easy. I'll have to finish it up either today or tomorrow. It looks as if there is some water coming in through the weather stripping on my front door, so that means I won't be able to put the wood down right there until I get that fixed. I still won't be able to put the carpet in the back room till I find out where that water is coming from back there either.
Enough of the home improvement talk, I actually had some people contact me about buying the pontiac. I might go ahead and sell it to our next door neighbor's daughter though, her and her boyfriend have a newborn so they need the transportation. I was going to sell it for $800 but I see they need a car so I'm going to let them have it for $400, I hope they take care of it it was a pretty good car to me. Anything interesting happening in my life today at this moment no, I'm at work trying to scratch up some work to do. Things are starting to get slim, so I've also been looking at monster.com for any other opportunities.

The drill wasn't too bad, a lot of work though but it was ok. I actually passed my PT test, I really didn't think I was going to but I did it so I'm good. There were a few disappointments though. It was definitely confirmed that I won't be able to go on our AT (Annual Training) to Fort Meade, MD and I'll be stuck going to South Dakota with everyone else. All because of my unit not letting me now when stuff is wrong, my unit sucks. The last 2 ATs that I've been on were excellent, I went to Fort Bliss, TX (El Paso) last year and Wiesbaden Army Airfield in Germany. With those ATs I with a small group of people, its a known fact that if you go on an AT other than the company AT its gonna be good. My first year we went to Fort McCoy, WI, that was hell due to the 10-11 hour work days. But... Me being me I still went out everyday when we were there. I was determined to have fun no matter what. So this year in South Dakota is going to be no different, they even asked me to bring my satellite hookup...so its definitely going to be interesting.

This whole Iraq situation has really shakin things up in the military. One of the disappointing things that happened this weekend was when they told us that there was no longer an IRR. Now for those who don't know the IRR is the Inactive Ready Reserve, I am an Active Reservist myself. When you sign up you sign up for 6 years active reserve and 2 years inactive. So basically the just lengthened my stay in the military for another 2 years. Then anyone who is inactive right now, will be activated again. So there are going to be some angry people out there. Then they told us that our unit will be called up for rotation into Iraq fiscal year 05, which for the military is in Oct. So this is all so interesting.... Oh, and they said we probably will get activated for 18-24 months. :| This is just looking more and more promising.

I actually went back to The Yellow Rose last night after I swore I would never go there again. I only went because it was my friend's cousin's birthday, I know that's not really an excuse to go to a club I hate...but I'm always up to ride unfortunately. It wasn't too bad, but I'm not gonna become a regular or anything. I just feel I got my $3 worth that's about it. So of course doing that threw off my plan to finish up some major stuff on my house. I woke up this morning and got some stuff from Home Depot then came back home and was knocked out. It was some good sleep, but it didnt prove to be very productive. Now I have drill tomorrow which I'm dreading because I don't want to take the PT test. *Sigh* Well we'll just see how everything turns out.
I got some pretty slick ideas for the house though. I've been watching alot of different shows and getting ideas from different books. I didn't want the house to look like the bachelor pad that it actually is. I want to jazz it up to the point to where people will have to ask who helped me think of the ideas.
Ooo...I bought Siphon Filter:Omega Strain today...so I'll see how it is. In fact, I'll do that now.

Another drill weekend....These things just seem to pop up out the blue. Of course I'm just so very happy with going, but I signed up so I guess I better do it. I guess it wouldn't be so bad if we didnt have to do that stupid P.T. test. Oh well, the weekend will be over fairly quickly. Good news is that I got my floor done in the hallway and it looks pretty good. I'm getting really excited over this house stuff.... I even find myself wanting to go to Home Depot, Scary Stuff. When I was a kid I used to dread going out with my parents because I knew we would end up in some freakin hardware store somewhere. I've wasted many precious years of my life in hardware stores. It's cool now though, I got my own stuff to work on and I'm enjoying it.

Of course out all the days they say its gonna rain, its gonna do it on the one day I actually decide to ride my bike to work.... This is gonna be interesting.

House is still coming together slowly, unfortunately though while I was putting down the hardwood floor in the hallway somewhere in the process I made one of the pieces crooked. Of course I didnt notice it till I got further down the line, so now I have to go back and redo some of that. I'll get the rest of my carpet done probably next week, so that'll mean all the floors will be done except for the one in the laundry area...which is the one that NEEDS to be done. With that floor not being done I cant reinstall the water heater, which means I can't turn the gas back on, which means I can't run the air. Oh, and the bathroom still needs to be finished too. Right now the plumbing doesnt want to match up with I actually want so now the cabinets won't go back in right. If I just get my butt in there and start getting things done I'll be pretty good.
Well the temperature is right to be out riding but this rain in the forecast is killin me. I did get some good motorcycle riding in over the weekend though. It's still funny the looks that I get when people see my bike. I guess they've never seen one with tiger stripe fur on it before. I got some pretty good ideas on how to make it easier for me to put that stuff on...maybe I could even make a biz plan out of it.

Well the house is getting closer and closer to finally being finished, once the plumbing is completed and the floor in the laundry room is done then maybe it will speed up even more.

You know, I was going to speak on the subject of dating ... this is not easy ritual it was back in high school. Honestly, I'm not even sure what to do. How do I meet people if I'm really not out at people places? What is the best strategy to even find someone, let alone even kick things off with a person? Should I do the online thing, should I just go to different places and just hang out constantly or what?
I had a recent discussion about some things a guy might do to try and win over a woman. I was trying to point out that some women just don't want to date you right off the back, or even act like they like you. If you see that there is something special about a person, do you just ignore it and walk away? do you try to do all you can to change their mind? do you try to become a friend in hopes that one day, things will change? All of those could easily be seen as the wrong thing to do depending on the person. Should I even be looking? maybe one day I'll just trip over a special someone and that will be it. I'm getting to the point to where its hard to even like people, because more than likely its not gonna happen.

Well since the last update I finally got my bike back together with the fur 90% completed. The looks and reactions that I get are hilarious, I was kind of wondering what kind of reactions I would get but this is great. I just have to finish it up and make it look clean and stuff.

Freakin part is still on order for my bike, Hopefully it will be here by the end of next week. I still need to finish that fur anyways ... unfortunately it seems as if I broke off a little tab on the fork of the bike. Im hoping its not gonna affect if the gearbox stays on or not because if it does cause trouble im gonna need to invest in some forks. X-(

Well how is the rest of my life going, well I guess things are goin good ... they could be better but Im not complaining.

Two days in a row with access ..... I'm starting to have renewed faith in the network admins here. Well I just got my new front tire for my bike today, a Dunlop D208ZR, very nice if I do say so. Now I just have to wait till I get the freakin speedometer gearbox so that I can put it back together. I'm almost done furring it as well, I would be done but I'm not really that motivated since I still can't ride the freakin thing. I might try to find some brake pads as well or somethin ... I guess I can fix whatever else is wrong since my bike is currently is so many freakin pieces. I had a friend of a friend try to talk me out of putting fur on my bike, he told me that he would paint it instead and that "We're not in California". Not really sure what putting fur on my bike has to do with being in California, but oh well. I told him I'll let him paint it but soon after I said that I began putting more fur on the bike. If he doesn't like it ... I really don't give a damn, besides I need to get my plastics repaired before I can paint them anyways. The fur looks pretty good though, it needs some clean up work though but it'll do. It's currently sporting the tiger stripe fur I'll get some picks up when I'm done. So what all can I cram into this little page about my life since last November. Well that's a lot of stuff to talk about, I got a tattoo for one .... for two and the rest of the numbers I'll have to talk about that later.

On top of all the mess that's goin on I happened to break a piece off my motorcycle. I figured "Hey, why not save some money and take my front wheel off" :::Note to self - Let them take the freakin wheel off next time::: I think I can be handy with the tools, but I always seem to break the stuff though. So now I'm out 1 speedometer gearbox .... What's that? You don't know what it is .... Well its located on the front wheel between the fork and since I skipped a step when following instructions I completely disintegrated it. So that'll be an extra $60 I could have spent elsewhere, so I'll be a little late getting my bike up and running for the season.

Okay .... First of all, I need my internet back. This not having it at home thing isn't cool at all, and my company is kind of spastic about the rules they have on the content filtering so every once in awhile I am able to get access on Blogger. Well I don't know, I guess I got so many things going on but at the same time I dont. Sometimes I amaze myself at the shit I can cause, hopefully one day I can end all of that.

Support your local stunt rider The link goes to the radio station website that says they're gonna give away 1 million dollars to the person that recruits the most people to sign up under them. I go over to Stuntlife.com alot and this is where I got the link from, the guy says he'll use it to get some more stunt riding events going. I signed up...didn't kill me.
Today...just another day, not much goin on....I am pretty damn hungry right now though can't even concentrate. gotta get food.

Sprint PCS Picture Website

Well I figured out what the deal with Sprint was....the website won't work with Mozilla, Well the picture.sprintpcs.com at least. I don't understand why different sites can work one day and then the next they just don't....oh well.

::: Edit :::
Speaking of which the new address for the Sprint picture site is http://pictures.sprintpcs.com
I don't have my Sprint phone anymore since I switched to Nextel but I guess I'll be dragged back to Sprint kicking and screaming one way or another.

Well I went to the auction Sat. and picked me up the 626 I was talkin bout. It's a pretty nice car, I'm gonna try and resell it though and get some more money to buy a different car. I'll probably do that until I get a decent car that I like. I was trying to look up the blue book value of the car, its sayin that for a private party I can probably find one in my condition selling for about $2500. I'll put it up for like $3200 O.B.O. and I'll see how it goes. It was pretty decent earlier today, about 60 degrees....I wanted to pull the bike out and ride but I need a new front tire. ......So of course I did it anyway....Hey, I needed gas :) Well I brought it back home and wound up dropping it in the garage trying to put it on the center stand. The bad part came when I was trying to get it up and broke off the button for the starter....sux. So I'll have to price that to see how much I'm gonna get hit up for that. I smell like a freakin gas tank right now though, because some gas war coming out when it was on its side. Good news is I didnt flood the tank.
Tomorrow its supposed to be like 66, but of course its gonna rain the whole day.....oh yea, i forgot...I can't ride my bike anyways. ( We'll see )
