There's something wrong with me, there's something wrong with you

I'm listening to the new System of a down right now and it is rad! I am especially enjoying the "This cocaine makes me feel like I'm on this song" song.

Anyway, I'm not sure if I told you this, but I'm busily focusing on myself right now. I am running regularly and am working on eating better now, I'm also throwing myself at my work, which is good too.

Well, I need to sleep!
Peace out-

a very good saturday...

So I ran the greenlake yesterday. 2 laps, my legs are sore, but it's all good, 5.6 miles or runnerific fun.

Last night was napoleon dynamite at the fremont outdoor movie. It's 5 bucks a person and we ate at paseo cuban restaurant before hand which was WAY yummy. As the show was letting out, I had a call from a friend going to Nectar, which was right across the street:)

So I ended up there until 2pm listening to Cinton Fearon & boogie brown band. All in all, not a bad saturday.

Today is the Ugly American at 3pm. I'm guessing I'll be laughing my ass off :)

I hope you guys are having an awesome weekend as well:)

soccer practice!

So I have this cool turf burn on my left leg! Soccer practice last night totally kicked my ass :) I feel sore and tired today, but I also feel great! I'm feeling all excited to go running this weekend. I think it might be a 2 lap greenlake run:)

Anyway, I need to work. I'll catch you later-

girls and the pot

so this morning there was a report on the radio from a former Seattle Police chief. He talked about how the "war on drugs" was stupid and wasteful. Instead of making drugs the crime, they should make the crimes the crime. I dunno, for some reason that made sense to me. There was lots of good talk about how the government could grow and tax marijuana just like it controls alcohol.

Anyway, for some reason I have this song stuck in my head, but really it's not the real song but a bastardized head version...

Girls, you really got me going,
body and soul,
don't know what I'm doing,
out of control... (repeat FOREVER!) :P

Thank god you ladies are in this world, otherwise I'd probably just play video games and work all the time:)

quiet day on the blog front...

I often wonder if I'm the only one addicted to my friends blogs or if everyone is. But I know people who NEVER would consider a blog or want to read other peoples blogs. It's just so weird. Although I do understand that the whole addiction thing could be kind of a turn off.

Anyway, tonight is George & the dragon, so that should be fun. I guess it's quiz night so that's something. Anyway, I'm off to finish my test cases.

Laters-

selfish american

Give me all your oil,
Give me all your love,
Don't tell me what I can't do,
Just give me all your stuff,

I don't want to think about your problems,
I have enough of my own,
I don't want your sick or weary,
Just give me all your stars,

I'm just a selfish american,
I have needs to fill,
So let me have my way,
and I'll let you keep your ground.

magic camping!

So I learned how to play magic the gathering (TM) this weekend. It's actually quite enjoyable:) It's true, my nerd factor just went up +2 :P

Anyway, it's sunday night and my room is hot so I'm going to go check on the laundry and TV. Have a wonderful monday!
Tim

ahh... camping!

Well, another wonderful night at the duchess last night. Much beer was consumed. Much pool was played.

Tonight I leave for Orcas Island and camping! It's true, I'm taking my set of magic(TM) cards. We're all nerds:P It's funny cause I've never played, but the married "normal" couple are all gung ho for it! Did I ever tell you how much I love my friends:)

Well, I need to work. See you guys all on sunday/monday!
-Tim

good times

I was able to hang out with Kevin, Jenny, and Kelley last night at McCormick & Schmicks. They have a tasty happy hour, so I'm always glad to go there. Work is crazy busy, so I'm working tons and now I'm leaving for camping on friday. It might be my last mini vacation of the year:(

Anyway, I need to sleep. Catch you guys later-

fed & full...

Interestingly enough, things change. Sometimes I think about my life. Where I'm headed, what I'm doing, and where I've been.

I decided that I didn't like the me I've become so I'm going to change. My weeks have been full of promise and life and that's the way they'll stay.

I have a friend online that loves attention and I like giving it, although at one point I was probably obsessed, now I'm trying to move more towards friendship.

I've decided to pimp out my room and my body (more running, more lifting, more weight loss, more tattoos, new bed, new pillows). I've decided to quit obsessing on what might have been and just focus on the here and now.

As much as I realize I would love everyone to love me, I'm fine with not having that. I know that I am growing and that's what I need to do.

Later-

and now a word from our sponsor

long ago.

So it's been a very, VERY drunk 2 days. It all started last night at the duchess. It was 9 and Joe & Jeremiah were already down there and Shawn calls me to let me know they'll be there in an hour & a half. I charge down and order a pitcher of which I drank 3 glasses (joe had 1, he wasn't keeping up with me) I order another pitcher and some more people show up. Eventually I'm totally trashed and Shawn drives me home. (Bed: 2:30, Alarm 6:40) Time for Physical Therapy:P

Tonight it was just a couple of drinks at pies & pints and trying to stay awake to finish writing this blog entry, and this is me, checking out.
Peace-

Coolest tool of the day!

This website has combined craigslist and google maps to provide an easy way for people to find places to rent!

How cool is that? Hopefully I'll find out who will be my housemate soon and we can find a cool place (hopefully fremont) to live! :)

Just thought I'd share this cool tool.

The other way by Weezer

I want to help you
But I don't know how
I want to soothe you
But I can't speak out

I have many fears
about rejection
I have many memories
of the pain
I have always been
a little shy

So I'll turn and look
the other way
Other way, other way
I will turn and look the other way

I want to hold you
But I am afraid
I want to touch you
But I'm not that way

I have many doubts
about my motives
I have many fears
about my greed
I have always hurt
the one that I love

Hey look, I'm Yoda :)

A venerated sage with vast power and knowledge, you gently guide forces around you while serving as a champion of the light.

Judge me by my size, do you? And well you should not - for my ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is. Life greets it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us, and binds us. Luminescent beings are we, not this crude matter! You must feel the Force around you, everywhere.

Yoda is a is a character in the Star Wars universe. More Yoda information is available at the Star Wars Databank.

dog sitting and cinderella man

I went to Cinderella man on monday night. It was quite good. I found that I was really my father's son, as I was dodging the punching on screen and punching back. I'm such a dork :P

It turns out I'll be house sitting for Jarred this saturday night so that should be fun. I think I'm going to be watching some "Deadwood" which he's been ranting about.

Also, can I just tell you how I love the new weezer album? It's like they took my thoughts and feelings and sang about them. weird.

Peace out-

Freak me out by Weezer

City streets at night,
can be so intimidating,
I'm not the toughest guy,
I've gotta keep my eyes open,

You came out of nowhere,

Man, you really freak me out,
I'm so afraid of you,
and when I lose my cool,
I don't know what to do,

I know you don't mean no harm,
you're just doing your thing,
but Man, you really freak me out,

Did I hurt you?
Are you okay?
Can I buy you a drink?
What's the world coming to?
You came out of nowhere,

Man, you really freak me out,
I'm so afraid of you,
and when I lose my cool,
I don't know what to do,

I know you don't mean no harm,
you're just doing your thing,
but Man, you really freak me out,

I'm going to try and improve my manners,
Everyone, yes, Everyone is my friend!

City streets at night, city streets at night,
till the morning light, city streets at night.

asleep

you ever get that feeling that you're asleep and you're just waiting for someone to come along and wake you up? And you realize that you might not be woken up till it's all over? Like, welcome, thanks and goodbye.

love

the seduction
the coming together
the touch
the life
the knowing

random dream

I'm standing talking to a friend, being my shy self. This really cute girl walks up and starts talking to my friend. She then invites him to a party, and then realized I'm there and invites me as well. As I'm replying yes, she starts to laugh, as the whole thing were a joke to invite me, so I laugh along as well. Fast forward to about 2 days later(in dream time), I'm walking around and the same girl runs up and is like, "Tim here's your invitation to the party, I really hope you can make it" and then does that coy smile that girls do. I then walk away smiling thinking maybe she doesn't just think I'm scum after all.

End dream sequence-

An open letter to the ex

I'm sorry for...
giving up on you
not being the best I could be
hurting you
allowing you to hurt me
"obsessing"
thinking about you right now
hating you right now
loving you

Everyone always told us we didn't make sense, but there is something about trying to prove everyone wrong. I knew you were just in it for the NSA but I fell for you hard. I wish I didn't love you and I wish I didn't remember. I sincerely wish you and your new boyfriend the best.

...somebody please distract me...

for the technical geeks out there

I am probably going to be doing performance testing on whatever unnamed project I end up on. So I've been reading up on the Xbox 360 architecture and performance stuff so I thought I'd share the links with you guys.

Part 1 of inside the xbox 360

Part 2: The Xenon processor

There's some pretty dry but interesting stuff in those articles. I'm also working on my mad C# coding skillz :)

I hope everyone is having a good day. Peace out-
Tim

appleseed, weezer, and system of a down

Well, I went to the best buy tonight. I got the Appleseed movie, the new weezer album and the new system of a down album. I love me some system of a down. The new weezer album is fun too:)

Anyway, I just got done watching appleseed which was awesome. It's the first cell shaded movie I've heard of. Basically it's a 3d modeled anime which is then drawn over by the artists. It's very pretty.

Anyway, I'm having a good week I think. Basically I got drunk last night, ran this morning and had pho for dinner. How much better can life get?

Did I tell you that I am thinking I want to rent in fremont come august? Anyway, I'm off.
Catch you all later-
Tim

the singles' scene

Well, my pies & pints was run over by lesbian cowgirls tonight. It was the strangest thing walking in and having the bar be overflowing with lesbians in cowboy hats.

Anyway, my roommate is getting lucky tonight, so that's good for him.

Goodnight-
Tim

it's time for some green :)

I think I might be going camping in a few weeks. At least I was thinking of doing it in about 2 weeks. Had the knee appointment this (yesterday) morning. That wasn't so much fun. Stopped by the company store tonight and picked up some new toys.

Anyway, it's easy to forget that other people can read and find this thing on the internet. You know, everyone's favorite pass time activity, the internet :P

So I've decided that I need to stop worrying about finding the special someone and just not worry about it. Instead I just need to focus on my needs and desires. We'll see how that goes.

BTW, I realized that I have a damn great job today. Got to play dungeon siege 2 which was surprisingly fun!

Anyway, I need to sleep.

little red hen

So I went out with my roommate bryan tonight to the little red hen (www.littleredhen.com) As you may or may not be able to tell from the website it is a country bar, and tonight was karaoke. I think next time I might try to get up and sing, but that'll take a LOT more drinking :)

Anyway, it's 12:30 and I need to wake up at 6:40 tomorrow, so I'm off to bed.
Peace out -
Tim
