@#$$^%&*&^%^&*()(*&^%!!!!!

Honestly there will never be enough time in a day for me.

I have way too many unfulfilled ideas and activities that I would like to pursue; the limit of 24 hours, the need to sleep, and a full time job are burdens that are just too much to handle.

There are approximately 500 novels (approximated by an estimate that took a very short time to generate) that I would like to read.

I want to learn to the python programming language.

I wish to implement some sensors and an arduino board into a backing up/distance sensor on my car. Preferably attached under the bumper in a pelican case with a simple digital readout inside (no 'beeping' like in the expensive cars, but something that is like x meters)

I wish to fiddle with my pictures in GIMP (because i don't want to pay for photoshop, and i have issues with pirating software)

I want to go back to school and get a Ph.D. in at least one subject (and there are at least 4 that I would like to pursue).

Not something I want to do, but I cannot stand the bureaucracy associated with full time careers. It's not enough that I actually enjoy the work, and would actually look forward to going to it every day, but i seriously feel that it will inevitably lead to me being unable to ever be satisfied with it.

which leads me to - I'd probably be happier with a simpler job working with my hands, or something else. Like renting bicycles. This isn't ment to belittle these jobs/lifestyles/whateveryouwanttocallthemcareers - it's like a post modern (wtf does that even mean - when was modern? the future is now! [but it can't be if there is was will be, wait, don't, read on] where do my parenthesis end? here?) take on kant. The common man has it right (said in a way the common man can't understand - or so goes the joke).

CRÆP§!#

And I want to devote time to working out and relaxing (like in a yoga, meditation, thinking about nothing way).

And the following is slightly disgusting, so WARNING!
But I find lifting weights boring. And my blisters from San Francisco got blisters, so i cut those off, and so now there is like a third set of blisters (and then the one had dirt in it, so i had to clean that beast out) so walking is slightly painful, but still very enjoyable.

Also I want to play video games.

belay that order!

i really enjoyed star trek (a bit delayed)

Red Shirt

Going to see Star Trek tonight....


pretty awesome.

Back in California...

Back to California...

It's beautiful here, surrounded by distant mountains, and one even has a little snow.

But seriously, this place sucks.

Can't wait for the vacation part afterward, and I hope everyone on the coast is okay (with all of the fire going on)

Tipping point - Again.

"Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do.
Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute."

Overall had a fantastic weekend - but it's definitely a reminder that there are significant changes I would like to make in (and to) my life.

Time

I'm sitting in my living room - killing time.

I've already put away my clean laundry, laundry that I woke up at 3am to finish. I've put my dirty dishes away. Picked up the random articles and items I've left around the apartment, and put those in their right place as well. I've lit a candle so it smells better. I took out the trash and recyclables (so it smells better, too). I've taken red peppers out of the freezer so I can make soup, or at least roast them.


I haven't vacuumed. I haven't dusted. I have wiped down the kitchen counter.

I'm waiting for the UPS truck to arrive, because it's delivering a brand new camera. After a few years with my trusty Kodak, I'm taking a step up and entering the DSLR world.

busy

it's a busy world out there kids!

slow down!

relax!

don't work so hard, because you might melt your noggin' -
