I've had one of the greatest days ever and it all began last night, but I digress, let me begin with my journey. As I left Austin the skies began to rain tears and as I got closer and closer to Houston the skies burned bright with happiness err something like that it could just be all the gas and humidity in the air. I met and had dinner with my family then off to Starbucks and the night was stellar. When thoughts of leaving arose in the air the skies again began to rain. I picked up my friend Nicki's furniture from her old house in Houston and then headed off to Ikea for some more shelves, which I'm now holding in my almost full truck, back to my parents to have dinner and celebrate belatedly my brother's Birthday, Happy Birthday Charles!! Afterwards I'm off to return to my beloved Austin.
And for the educational minded among us here's a little info on Topographic Maps provided by the USGS:

Saturday, August 30, 2003
Heading to Houston in a bit, today's been a bit hectic, but still good, I got to get out and drive around Austin a bit went down to Barton Springs with my buddy Dave to pick up Nicki and take her to her orientation for class then off to the Taco Shack and back to Barton to Drop Nicki off. The power in the building went out this morning and everyone was freaking, it wasn't cool, it seems the city of Austin was doing some work on the next street over so they cut us off periodically. crazy huh?
I need to get going to Houston soon, I'm only going to be there for tonight and tomorrow, I need to visit Ikea, grab some stuff from my parents house, see my friends, grab me some tea, then I need to get back here to collect rent for September from my tenants!

wow this posting is getting to be a late thing for me. Since leaving active duty I've just been allowing my body to rest for a little while, it will soon be time to kick it into high gear again and get this body pumping, raise my heart rate a little
I bailed on my friends here in Austin last night, we were hanging out watching movies at my buddy Dave's, Man bites dog is very interesting, disturbingly so, then later we went across the hall to Ashley's apt and a discussion of music and break beats ensued. I just didn't have anything to add to the conversation, I don't know music or artists all that well and everything I do know I'm so disconnected from... still transitioning I guess..It was also way late and that might be part of it. yeah it's just that I have this feeling of disconnection from everything... I guess it'll take time to get used to all of this again.
I've been back and forth writing this post all day it seems, I'm now having a late lunch, going to finish my bed frame, then take the trash out and it'll be time to check on Vidal the painter. so I will post this now, later all!

A late posting today, I didn't post earlier this morning because I was putting my shelves together, getting all modularized and stuff and since now that I'm off Active duty I can stay up a bit later and sleep in a bit more, ahhh the civillian life! Ain't it grand? my friend Nicki woke me up by banging on the window, she lives in an apartment down the hall from mine, she's a good friend to hang with. Then the apt owners aka my boss's came over and needed my help with moving furniture and carpet, I've got a way cool fridge and an ok microwave out of the deal.
before my bosses arrived I had the opportunity to meet and help the paint guy Vidal to find where he needed to paint. He's a very interesting fellow Vidal is.
All day long I have been meeting and speaking with several of the tenants and they all seem like very cool and laid back students and people
A little while ago I helped Mike, not Matt as I previously posted on here, and I need to change it soon, anyway I digress... haha... we moved his big red felt couch all the way up to the third floor through the tiny stairwell, that was a chore that I could have done without, I've finished my shelves and am about to start on my bed, everything is going to flow together smoothly, though I may need to purchase some more shelves to go with my Gorm system that I already have in place ( though it is something my friends could get together and acquire some as a house warming gift, haha... right ). I'll make sure I take pictures so that you all can see how modular I am.
I've been thinking of everyone I've left behind in Spring, my family, my friends and everything about starbucks. that crazy little coffee house that seems to keep sucking us back in to that little town. I might be in town Saturday afternoon, it all depends on when Nicki's orientation is. So let me know if anyone has anything going on and we can work on getting together.
Speaking of school I need to head down there and make a payment and buy some books, I'll have my phone with me. my classes are great I'm taking a Physical Geography class and a Gov't 2 course, they're so great! I love being in school. my prof's are a little nuts, but that's cool. I need to get going to pay for my classes, so I'm gone like the friggin wind! have a great one all!!!

Interplanetary aspects
The interplanetary aspects have a strong influence on the character and disposition of the individual and, consequently, on his destiny.
The conjunction aspect is variable and depends above all on the nature of the conjoint planets.
345 Conjunction Venus - Mars
He is amorous, not a peaceful and calm lover but a passionate one with a strong temperament. He is demonstrative in love, and likes healthy pleasures. He enjoys life to the full.
339 Conjunction Sun - Midheaven
He knows what he wants on the professional level, is aware of his objectives and does everything to achieve them, he will carry out plans to the very end. He has a good job as well as a good reputation.
261 Conjunction Sun - Mercury
He is intelligent and knows what he wants. Is a good organizer, he likes moving, travel. He likes literature.
194 Conjunction Mercury - Jupiter
He is intelligent, has big ideas; he is tolerant and has a strong sense of justice. He has good judgement, good sense and has his feet on the ground. He has the "gift of the gab", and likes to speak, he also likes literature. He is erudite and will normally be successful socially.
-176 Square Moon - Mercury
He is happy in his imaginary world and thus is happy nowhere, because he can never find his ideal world - thus causing a lot of change, instability and also disquiet. He is a liar, a gossip and leaves himself open to criticism. His lies save him. If the other aspects allow, he can be a very good novelist.
-79 Square Sun - Ascendant
He has a lot of ambition, but is pretentious, vain and does not realize when his schemes are too ambitious, and therefore unattainable.
-70 Square Venus - Saturn
This aspect sometimes means unhealthy sensuality. He is hard, and does not know how to express his emotions. He is frightened of showing his love, and this leads to disappointments, break-ups, lack of satisfaction. It is likely that he had problems with his mother, who did not know how to love him or give him self-confidence. He doubts, is suspicious and jealous. He will learn how to be happy in love, to be at ease with himself and to control his jealousy in the second half of his life, thanks to an older person, who gives his self-confidence back to him, so he can then trust others.
59 Trine Moon - Venus
He is gracious, sweet and gay. He likes pleasure and entertainment, but also the Arts. He needs tenderness, loves and wants children. He appreciates home life in a comfortable atmosphere.
-56 Opposition Jupiter - Neptune
He is easily influenced. He is a dreamer, who lets himself be seduced by fine words, which are not always sincere. He does not see wickedness and is often fooled by people.
-55 Opposition Mars - Uranus
He is full of contradictions. He is original, tending to the eccentric, violent, headstrong, impatient and irascible. He fights to the bitter end to overcome hurdles, and has the strength to overcome them.
43 Conjunction Mercury - Midheaven
He likes to have his own ideas about things, to form an opinion and think over the problems it poses. He is an intellectual.
42 Trine Saturn - Neptune
His plans are realized in a methodical fashion, he works hard to achieve success.
-38 Square Mars - Saturn
He is only interested in doing something if there are problems attached; once these are solved, he goes on to something else which has complications. He likes to overcome obstacles, is tough, does not have too many feelings, especially in business. He is egoistic, violent and stubborn. He does not always make friends.
37 Trine Sun - Uranus
He is above all independent and original. He likes change, reforms, he is allergic to everything routine. He has a strong personality, and has many friends.
-23 Square Moon - Jupiter
He is indifferent to others, to those who surround him; he is negligent and indecisive. He likes excess, gambling and his honesty is elastic. This aspect does not help professional success, especially as he tends to spend more than he earns.
20 Sextile Saturn - Pluto
He perseveres, achieves his projects through hard work.
17 Sextile Neptune - Pluto
14 Trine Uranus - Midheaven
He must have a job that allows him complete freedom, something non-routine. He likes change, has a lot of energy and knows how to influence others in spite of his originality.
8 Conjunction Pluto - Ascendant
He has will-power and ambition, and likes to have his own way.
-7 Opposition Venus - Uranus
He looks for new sensations in love and is often unsatisfied by affairs which quickly turn into purely conventional relationships. He likes novelty, adventure, the eccentric; he is frivolous, unstable, unfaithful. Marriage is not for him and, if he does throw himself into this adventure, it will end in divorce, written off as a youthful mistake. As a result of his numerous love affairs, he makes sure his line is continued.
7 Trine Jupiter - Pluto
He likes to direct, is intelligent and is an organizer of the first order.
4 Sextile Jupiter - Saturn
He is serious, patient, honest, hard-working, orderly. His judgement is good and he thinks over things. He pursues his objectives to the bitter end, always knowing when to choose the right moment. He is upright and respects the law.

Interplanetary aspects
The interplanetary aspects have a strong influence on the character and disposition of the individual and, consequently, on his destiny.
The conjunction aspect is variable and depends above all on the nature of the conjoint planets.
345 Conjunction Venus - Mars
He is amorous, not a peaceful and calm lover but a passionate one with a strong temperament. He is demonstrative in love, and likes healthy pleasures. He enjoys life to the full.
339 Conjunction Sun - Midheaven
He knows what he wants on the professional level, is aware of his objectives and does everything to achieve them, he will carry out plans to the very end. He has a good job as well as a good reputation.
261 Conjunction Sun - Mercury
He is intelligent and knows what he wants. Is a good organizer, he likes moving, travel. He likes literature.
194 Conjunction Mercury - Jupiter
He is intelligent, has big ideas; he is tolerant and has a strong sense of justice. He has good judgement, good sense and has his feet on the ground. He has the "gift of the gab", and likes to speak, he also likes literature. He is erudite and will normally be successful socially.
-176 Square Moon - Mercury
He is happy in his imaginary world and thus is happy nowhere, because he can never find his ideal world - thus causing a lot of change, instability and also disquiet. He is a liar, a gossip and leaves himself open to criticism. His lies save him. If the other aspects allow, he can be a very good novelist.
-79 Square Sun - Ascendant
He has a lot of ambition, but is pretentious, vain and does not realize when his schemes are too ambitious, and therefore unattainable.
-70 Square Venus - Saturn
This aspect sometimes means unhealthy sensuality. He is hard, and does not know how to express his emotions. He is frightened of showing his love, and this leads to disappointments, break-ups, lack of satisfaction. It is likely that he had problems with his mother, who did not know how to love him or give him self-confidence. He doubts, is suspicious and jealous. He will learn how to be happy in love, to be at ease with himself and to control his jealousy in the second half of his life, thanks to an older person, who gives his self-confidence back to him, so he can then trust others.
59 Trine Moon - Venus
He is gracious, sweet and gay. He likes pleasure and entertainment, but also the Arts. He needs tenderness, loves and wants children. He appreciates home life in a comfortable atmosphere.
-56 Opposition Jupiter - Neptune
He is easily influenced. He is a dreamer, who lets himself be seduced by fine words, which are not always sincere. He does not see wickedness and is often fooled by people.
-55 Opposition Mars - Uranus
He is full of contradictions. He is original, tending to the eccentric, violent, headstrong, impatient and irascible. He fights to the bitter end to overcome hurdles, and has the strength to overcome them.
43 Conjunction Mercury - Midheaven
He likes to have his own ideas about things, to form an opinion and think over the problems it poses. He is an intellectual.
42 Trine Saturn - Neptune
His plans are realized in a methodical fashion, he works hard to achieve success.
-38 Square Mars - Saturn
He is only interested in doing something if there are problems attached; once these are solved, he goes on to something else which has complications. He likes to overcome obstacles, is tough, does not have too many feelings, especially in business. He is egoistic, violent and stubborn. He does not always make friends.
37 Trine Sun - Uranus
He is above all independent and original. He likes change, reforms, he is allergic to everything routine. He has a strong personality, and has many friends.
-23 Square Moon - Jupiter
He is indifferent to others, to those who surround him; he is negligent and indecisive. He likes excess, gambling and his honesty is elastic. This aspect does not help professional success, especially as he tends to spend more than he earns.
20 Sextile Saturn - Pluto
He perseveres, achieves his projects through hard work.
17 Sextile Neptune - Pluto
14 Trine Uranus - Midheaven
He must have a job that allows him complete freedom, something non-routine. He likes change, has a lot of energy and knows how to influence others in spite of his originality.
8 Conjunction Pluto - Ascendant
He has will-power and ambition, and likes to have his own way.
-7 Opposition Venus - Uranus
He looks for new sensations in love and is often unsatisfied by affairs which quickly turn into purely conventional relationships. He likes novelty, adventure, the eccentric; he is frivolous, unstable, unfaithful. Marriage is not for him and, if he does throw himself into this adventure, it will end in divorce, written off as a youthful mistake. As a result of his numerous love affairs, he makes sure his line is continued.
7 Trine Jupiter - Pluto
He likes to direct, is intelligent and is an organizer of the first order.

Hello Austin, my old friend, I have returned unto you. I'm still unpacking all my crap, I start classes later today( night school at ACC Rio Grande Campus ) Gov't 2 from 5:40 - 6:55 on Tues/Thurs and Physical Geography at 7:05 - 9:45 p.m. on Tuesdays only, Right now I'm only taking the two classes due to my schedule and cash flow. I've already begun my job ( which so far is too friggin easy) here at the El Rio Apartment complex, while looking for another one to help supplement my income.
I'm going to need some down time, some unwound time in a real short time, so let me know if you've got something planned. My friend Jason let me know there's a big free Concert in the Parking lot at Guitar Center near the Galleria on Labor Day so I might head down there for that, once again cash flow is going to be a big factor now that I don't have all this gov't money flowing into my pockets.
I think I'm settling in here at the apartment complex, it's just going to take me some time to get the feel of freedom again, I know what you might think by looking at me I seem to be pretty much the same, but I feel different inside and the inclusion of working where I live has I think settled a complex on my mind. I tend to take my duties very seriously at times and it might be affecting how I interact with my fellow tenants.
Last night I hung out with Dave and Matt, we went and got some Pho Noodles, very Vietnamese place, excellent food, you should go there, but don't be daunted by the waiters abrupt nature. Anyway I digress, what I was getting to is that I'm disconnected with what's going on, or at least I felt that way with the conversation, I had nothing to offer to it, I don't know if I'll be able to relate to the people I live with. My information is so old, I'm not current with what's going on. I'm not really sure what to do to remedy this. I think I just need time to adjust. to things.
I do miss my friends in Houston, I wonder what's going on with them and I hope you all don't think that just because I'm here in Austin that I've forgotten about you or that I don't think of you at all. I cherish the friendships I have and I look forward to the day when I can see you all again. I know it seems like we're scattering to the four winds, but you'll always wherever you are you'll always be close to my heart and in my mind.
I do have some things to do today, such as pick up books for my classes and keep working on my apartment, lots of stuff to go through still, I hope you're having a good day! give me a call sometime if you're in town or just want to talk, 512-947-2848. I will post later!
I almost forgot last weeks Friday Five, on todays Tuesday!!
1. When was the last time you laughed?
- This morning, my buddy Dave showed me some funny web comics on www.plif.com funny, but slightly disturbing
2. Who was the last person you had an argument with?
- I'm not sure if it was an argument more like a disagreement, but it would be Matt last night at Pho's, if not that, then with my parents before moving to Austin
3. Who was the last person you emailed?
- My good buddy Mike aka DJ Lngrrr aka Shoutedsilence
4. When was the last time you bathed?
- haha, umm this morning, early. yeah I got my scrub on...haha
5. What was the last thing you ate?
- The Aforementioned Dave cooked a late brunch of Bacon & Egg soft tacos, with some crazy italian coffee that's got my heart pumping...good stuff, good times.
And with that I am off to seize the day!!

I woke this morning with a profound sense of well being inside of me and the need to do some major stretching, Things are going well in my life right now, I do have a few problems, but they are incidental when compared to global ones. I'm waiting for the coffee to brew, then I'm going to head out to meet up with my buddy Zach attack aka SimpleSimon who is not so simple as he seems, and we are going to move him to Clear lake where he'll be attending college at UH And what is my good friend going to give me for helping him out? A Yamahah Virago 535 Motorcycle, do I have the coolest friends or what? Oh hell yeah I do!
Speaking of friends, head on over to Anita's new little home on the web and get an insight into another one of my good friends, it's not a blog, she's being hosted at Deadjournal.com which is similar to livejournal at least she's out there writing getting her thoughts out of her head, writing is very therapeutic as was noted in a previous post of mine. In fact you'll be able to read more about my friends straight from their own perspective, just simply click on a name on the left and it'll take you right to them.
I was going to do the Saturday Scruples, but the site isn't coming up. So until that happens you'll have to wait. haha.
I'm heading out now, you have a great day and don't wind up like this guy...Ben

Yesterday was a stellar day, perhaps even one of the best days of my life, thank you for that. Even now as I think of it and of you I can't stop smiling.
The day began as so many have before, still tired from the day before, the intense physical training and lack of sleep is all catching up with me. Groggily I awoke and laid there for too long, then forcing my tired carcass from bed I moved slowly to the shower. afterwards I sat waiting to put on my shoes thinking of nothing more than the coming hour drive in Houston traffic. the drive was intense and I thank my foresight even as I shudder at the need for red bull to get me awake enough to make it to the day, but not through it. arriving at work I fell into formation for more physical training, kicked it into high gear and worked out till we dropped, then showered again and reported for duty.
Anxiously I awaited an answer to a question I had asked the day before. receiving the answer far later than I had anticapated I went, changed and headed out to IKEA Houston where I shopped for a new bed frame and some modular shelves, I purchased a frame, five shelves and some additional attachements for almost $300, now I need to get a Box springs and mattress for it soon.
After this I made my way northside, to a meeting with someone special in my life, she makes me laugh, sing and I can't seem to stop smiling, we took a road trip and questioned each other along the way. I can't even express how much fun we had. I will miss her when I'm gone back to the Military, Austin or whereever life takes me, though I shall strive to maintain a connection to her. Thank you again. I really needed yesterday to help me out in so many ways.
lately I've been tired alot, not just physically, but emotionally as well. There is just so much stress to deal with daily in the military and it's all been building up, Thankfully I will be able to return to the civillian life soon, in about a week to be exact I should be returning to Austin by the weekend of the 23/24th of August. I'm planning to start classes on the 25th but the military is conspiring to keep me on longer, I am so fighting them for my release. I want, I need a break to just relax and be me for awhile, not the automaton, the soldier. The Sergeant. I just want to be Hugh for awhile, someone anonomyse in the crowd.
Enough about that, let's move on to the additions for the day! As in a little bit more about me.
I read anything and everything...right now I am reading about three or four books, Fury by Salman Rushdie, Red leaves at Midnight ( a book of poetry ), so many others are waiting to be read. I have Vonnegut on the shelf just begging to be picked up.
A few of my Favorite Movies: princess bride, high fidelity (anything w/ john cusack, like say anything), office space, empire records, pulp fiction, swingers, dumb and dumber, royal tenenebams, waking life, snatch, Fight Club, War movies, Comedies, love stories, there so many more i can't think of..
About Me: I like to sing out loud. especially in cars or showers and sometimes in public if the mood hits me just right. I like beer and drinking it with friends, though I'll only have a couple and will never drink to excess. i am afraid of wrecks, of getting into one, not actually being in one, cause I've got skills. I am young and I look it at least I think so. I wish I could lose about 10-15 pounds gotta get lean. I like people it doesn't really matter who you are, what you look like, it's what's inside that counts, you can put garbage in a pretty box with a neat little bow on top and insided it's still garbage, whereas you can put the most beautiful thing in the world in a garbage bag and it will shine through. and I think eyes are dead sexy just to sink right in falling ever into the essence of the one you care the most about.
Now for the Friday Five!

I haven't posted in a few days so let me get you caught up with what's been going on, I swam up the Nile, ran a marathon with lions in Africa and conducted research on another planet with life forms similar to our own. climbed the Empire State Building and base jumped off of Mount Rushmore. Raced a few mongul warlords across the great wall of china, stepped back in time to help Einstein with his theories (still a little pissed about that no talent hack stealing my ideas for relativity. ) I still find it a difficult task to write a 15 page report/research about American presidential elections in three days and get an A.
All the times I knew and acted upon but the fear was growing larger by the minute. From the beginning of a flower's life to the mid-afternoon, I sit and wonder what it's like to live for only a day. What if a day is better than for several years? What if I envy that flower? Or does the flower envy a mortal like I? The Night filled with blackness wins gallantly with the day as the Terror, the Evil takes over the whole of cosmic 'time.' The pitch blackness did my beaded eyes see. I run the opposite direction to avoid such emptiness but I indeed am merely a mortal. Here I am, in some supernatural world, it seems, and I glare at all the visions of false realities. The realism of chaos and formality I was running away from. The truth that was for other mortals, not I. But it's here. Here I lie for a never ending period of the non-existant time while glaring at nothing. I am not the flower. It's not for a day but for many years to come. Many years if I survive the captivating darkness.
I need to sleep and perchance to dream...

I just got up a little while ago, my hairs all messy and I still need to stretch out, but other than that I'm good for a saturday morning.
Saturday morning cartoons are the best! at least I used to think so, somehow through the years they have changed, altered into something new and unknown to me. I both dislike and like the idea of growing up, but I still long for those nostalgic days of yester year, when I scrambled out of bed early with my brother and sister to be the first downstairs for a breakfast of cereal or eggo waffles, sometimes my parents would get up and make us all pancakes and we'd sit around the table enjoying the moment, then it was off to see the cartoons. Some of those days I remember with a fondness. Today I'm eating honey nut cheerios, which I haven't done in forever and in case you're wondering, yes I do drink the remaining milk from the bowl.
Of course not everything was storybook bliss, there were the moments of not wanting to get up, making a mess in the kitchen, my sister's attempts at making cookies often resulted in some bland tasteless little disks that she insisted on putting cake icing all over. the mornings in front of the t.v. fighting over the controller, or my parents simply just fighting over nothing. I love my parents, but I'm not sure of their relationship, it's one of a love/hate variety. a lot of times lately they seem to yelling more than communicating. I've seen that way too much over the years and have learned that I don't want that kind of relationship.
I know that most of the people in my family yell to communicate, or at least speak with a very forcefully high volumed voice to this end I think I have developed a speaking pattern that sets my voice at a lower more mellow volume. My friends and coworkers have noticed it when I try to speak with them that at times they can't seem to hear me and I have to force myself to speak at either a normal ( to them ) or higher volume and that can get kind of awkward as I have to repeat myself several times for them to hear me. I think I developed this so that my parents and other family members would have to stop yelling and be quietto hear me. So if I'm talking to you and you can't seem to hear me, though I'm sitting right next to you, just tell me to turn up the volume and I'll do so.
I'm blunt and honest everyday some people can't deal with that, they apply all these social and personal boundaries to what they'll say and feel, trapping them in a little cage of self. it's good to be blunt and even better to have class and be so. So in having class and in consideration of others feelings I don't say all that I have to say. Though lately I've gotten on this little kick with something that my friend Jason and I find amusing, but it has come to my attention that his girlfriend, Leslie and our friend Anita (Alicia's Sister), do not find it funny and I would formally like to apologize and say that I honestly meant nothing by it, It was funny at the beginning and we just kept it going, you know how guys are and I'll be the fist to say I'm sorry.
And now for the weather report: I think my sister and the rugrats are coming over a little later today, The three hurricanes inbound are Haley age 6 almost 7, Cheyanne age 4, and Mr. Garret Hatcher coming in at a mighty age 2, and they're just crazy mad with all the bundles of new creation energy burning within them, all over the place, it's beautiful. They're great to hang out with I can get them all wound up and then send them home to mama. I love those little munchkins, more than anything, though I'd like them even better roasted over and open pit with some A-1 sauce...mmm..yummy. screw that fava beans and chianti mess...
After that last comment I think it's time for this week's Saturday Scruples!
1) You want a job that requires experience you don't have. Do you lie on your resume?
- No, because it will come out in the end that you don't know the stuff you're supposed to know for the job.
2) It's late and your 18-year-old asks permission for his/her steady to spend the night in his/her room. Do you permit it?
- No, not just no, but hell no! I remember my youth, heck I know how I am now and it wouldn't just be a slumber party all laughter and giggles. regardless of whether I have a son or a daughter this would be my answer.
3) You've been looking for a disc player. On the street someone offers to sell you a new one for $10. Do you buy it?
- it depends you're just say that someone on the street, what if that someone is an authorized Sony Street Vendor and they're running a special on disc players? lol, but if it's someone else I might have to say no.
And for the top news of the day: Tonight is Alicia's Birthday party, if you don't know you're so not in the loop, so be there sharp at like 8:30/9:00ish and the festivities will begin!! Don't forget to bring a million balloons and some pink macaroons!
This ends my posting for the day, I have a bike to take to Sun&Ski and another to put some cash down on, I have to call my apartment owner in Austin to accept the Manager's position along with emailing the local schools for leaniency on admissions and registration due to my time conflict. I'll also be out of town on the 17-21st of August, 2003. It's a beautiful day outside and I've been writing this for awhile, I'm so gone it's not even funny, have a great one all!
Saturday morning cartoons are the best! at least I used to think so, somehow through the years they have changed, altered into something new and unknown to me. I both dislike and like the idea of growing up, but I still long for those nostalgic days of yester year, when I scrambled out of bed early with my brother and sister to be the first downstairs for a breakfast of cereal or eggo waffles, sometimes my parents would get up and make us all pancakes and we'd sit around the table enjoying the moment, then it was off to see the cartoons. Some of those days I remember with a fondness. Today I'm eating honey nut cheerios, which I haven't done in forever and in case you're wondering, yes I do drink the remaining milk from the bowl.
Of course not everything was storybook bliss, there were the moments of not wanting to get up, making a mess in the kitchen, my sister's attempts at making cookies often resulted in some bland tasteless little disks that she insisted on putting cake icing all over. the mornings in front of the t.v. fighting over the controller, or my parents simply just fighting over nothing. I love my parents, but I'm not sure of their relationship, it's one of a love/hate variety. a lot of times lately they seem to yelling more than communicating. I've seen that way too much over the years and have learned that I don't want that kind of relationship.
I know that most of the people in my family yell to communicate, or at least speak with a very forcefully high volumed voice to this end I think I have developed a speaking pattern that sets my voice at a lower more mellow volume. My friends and coworkers have noticed it when I try to speak with them that at times they can't seem to hear me and I have to force myself to speak at either a normal ( to them ) or higher volume and that can get kind of awkward as I have to repeat myself several times for them to hear me. I think I developed this so that my parents and other family members would have to stop yelling and be quietto hear me. So if I'm talking to you and you can't seem to hear me, though I'm sitting right next to you, just tell me to turn up the volume and I'll do so.
I'm blunt and honest everyday some people can't deal with that, they apply all these social and personal boundaries to what they'll say and feel, trapping them in a little cage of self. it's good to be blunt and even better to have class and be so. So in having class and in consideration of others feelings I don't say all that I have to say. Though lately I've gotten on this little kick with something that my friend Jason and I find amusing, but it has come to my attention that his girlfriend, Leslie and our friend Anita (Alicia's Sister), do not find it funny and I would formally like to apologize and say that I honestly meant nothing by it, It was funny at the beginning and we just kept it going, you know how guys are and I'll be the fist to say I'm sorry.

The trouble with myself is at sometimes I'm a little too abstract, but I like that
'I got a pretty little mouth underneath all the foamin'. - Nick Cave
In the future they may say of me that,
"He was a mean individual, He had a heart like a bone, He was a naturally crazy man, And better off left alone"- Paul Simon
"From the moment I was born, Till the instant of my death, There are patterns I must follow, Just as I must breathe each breath, Like a rat in a maze, The path before me lies, And the pattern never alters, Until the rat dies"- Paul Simon
"It's just apartment house sense, It's like apartment house rents, Remember, one man's ceiling, Is another man's floor" - Paul Simon
ah to the day I go with a deep and abiding longing for these few hours to end, so that the weekend may come all that much sooner...

1. What's the last place you traveled to, outside your own home state/country?
- outside of my home state the last place I traveled would be Nebraska, where I made a point of wearing every UT shirt I had, lol. As for what country I was last in, Sorry that's classified.
2. What's the most bizarre/unusual thing that's ever happened to you while traveling?
- like I'm going to mention that little escapade here!
3. If you could take off to anywhere, money and time being no object, where would you go?
- Europe, just to experience all of it, of course I wouldn't go alone. Anyone want to come along?
4. Do you prefer traveling by plane, train or car?
- depends on who I'm with all three can be fun and exciting or just plain not.
5. What's the next place on your list to visit?
- Either Austin or Huntsville, Texas!!

I am a mellow yellow today so cool and easily flowing...
Today I am 12 feet tall and I shoot lightning bolts from my arse and I feel like singing to you, Here I go again on my own, on the dark and lonely road that takes me home. Like a drifter I was born to walk alone. But I've made up my mind, I ain't wastin' no more time. Here I go again. Here I go again on my own. But you're welcome to come along!! Cause I'm feeling grrrrrreat like Tony the Tiger great!
hahaha, see what a lack of sleep and a breakfast of red bull will get you, ah I love the feeling of sleep deprivation... it's just so out there... and to add more fuel to my inner fire, I received a much unexpected phone call this morning and I can't seem to stop smiling...
Here's a question I like to ask from time to time: If a tree falls in the forest and nobodies around to hear it did the tree really fall, did it make a sound?
Now if you use this question in relation to the people in your life. If a person in your life leaves do they still exist?
I know the obvious answers hit me with something new... Thanks!

Wednesday afternoon posting late, man it is hot today! the heat category is pushing 115 degrees add in the fact that we do most of our work out on blacktop and I'm thinking that pushes the temp up another 10 to 15 degrees... crazy man, crazy...
Yesterday when I got home my sister, her husband and my nieces and nephew were over, I was all hot and sweaty from my drive, but the little ones didn't care they just slammed into me seeking hugs, ah I love the outlook of the young. I got her to sign up on Friendster so we'll see how that goes. It was good to see them again I hope to see more of them before I go. My brother dissapointed me last night, he recently picked up XBox Live, which is not a bad thing, I have it. but he didn't go to work last night because he said he was tired, of course he was tired he didn't sleep during the day when he was supposed to!! My nieces and nephew are great though, I got them some shirts and longhorns the last time I was in Austin at UT. They didn't understand what the school was, but they knew that their Uncle was buying them gifts. I'm just glad they liked what I got them.
Last night was a great one, I got to hang out with my friends and someone I've been wanting to spend more time with, though life seems to be taking us apart, so far things have been going well, plans were made and squashed, lives and moments were exchanged and strange references were made by myself and my good friend Jason ( who incidently works at Guitar Center, so if you need some gear, he's your man) who is dating Leslie. I'm going to miss this when I'm back in Austin, but I have to go so that I can grow.
Today has been a busy one, filled with training, meetings and endless heat. I've got physical training here in a few minutes so I'll need to change. If I can I'll post more later!

I seriously dislike having to work with some of the people I work with, but I deal with it. I know that I won't like everyone that comes into my life or that I have to associate with due to working or living conditions.

"A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking." -Jerry Seinfeld
This is so true, I spent most of Sunday at the local barnes and noble with friends, it was interesting just gravitating from section to section and spending hours perusing books that you wouldn't normally read and sharing them with each other. Then Text messaging other friends in the process to try to drag them into the mix, it wasn't happening. Later Zach, Crystal and myself wound up at the Sun & Ski where we shopped for and tried out some bikes, then put two Marin's on layaway specifically the Hawk Hill in glossy black, Tax Free weekend Rules! Afterwards we headed over to La Tapatia, a great little Mexican food restraunt on Stuebner and 1960 across 1960 from Half-Price Books. The food was good and the company interesting, all in all a good time. After awhile people had to leave and it was time to make my customary run up to Starbucks where I ran into Timbo, Anita, Alicia, Aaron, Zach, Greg, Jen, Aslynn, Nigel, Ryan, Meredith, Michelle, Nicole, and so many others... it was fun and games and whatever else you want to name...
I've got to run, but I'll write more later! have a great one!
*updated at 8:20 a.m.*
Last night was filled with friends and good conversation and later a phone call was received that brought a smile to my face and happily I stayed up late. This morning was begun in dread, my truck has been acting funny, the transmission has been having problems shifting into gears, I thought my transmission was slipping, but I went home late and spoke with my Dad, we took a look at it and realized I just needed some transmission fluid. at least I had hoped that was the case and so far it seems we were right. The truck ran fine, better than it has in awhile. I came into work earlier than expected and ready to seize the day. Physical Training went well, though I think I was dragging due to lack of sleep or just a lack of motivation. I'm not sure, but thanks to a high speed master sergeant he helped motivate me and I picked up the pace.
Today feels like it's going to be a good day.

Contrary to popular belief, I do sleep sometimes! I love you all with everything I have to give, I am now going to go back to sleep... or maybe not...
" Minimize expectations to avoid disappointment. " from a Fortune Cookie I had lying around, what kind of fortune is that? I mean seriously why should I lower my expectations in life just to avoid disapointment. If I expect less out of life that's all it's going to give me is less. I expect the world and dangit I'm going to get it... lol I know I'll have to work for it, but still I strive to achieve my dreams and you should too, never lower your expectations.

hmmm... I think this makes me a rare individual eh? try it out thanks to Leslie at Name Statistic
"Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m. and talked a little while about the year I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower, Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe maybe this year will be better than the last I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself To hold on to these moments as they pass..."
"We might be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us."

The big moments are gonna come, you can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are."

Just a little randomness to fill a Saturday along with something new, the Saturday Scruples, a game of ethics in the form of questions:
1. You're on a committee to award a $100,000 prize. On e of the two front runners is a former childhood friend whose career has eclipsed yours. Do you steer the prize to the other candidate?
- No, I would award the prize to the most qualified, besides I'm in a committee and my vote only counts for a portion of the total.
Your marriage is under strain. A friend recommends an illegal drug that expands your love, understanding and sensuality. Do you try it?
- Drugs aren't the answer, there only a temporary fix to the problem and they will develop into new problems.
A friend gets drunk and confides that a month ago he injured a cyclist and didn't stop. Do you report your friend?
- I'm a cyclist myself and have been hit before, but the person is my friend so this puts me in a difficult place. Now my friend is also drunk and could be talking nonsense just to get me irritated, I honestly don't know until I'm in that situation.
That's it for Saturday! I'm going out to enjoy the day, later!
Friday, August 01, 2003
Today is Friday and it's time for the five!
1. What time do you wake up on weekday mornings? if I don't have to work it's around 9, but if I do, then it's more like 4am
2. Do you sleep in on the weekends? How late? I don't know if it can be classified as sleeping in if you lie in bed till noon.
3. Aside from waking up, what is the first thing you do in the morning? get out of bed? no seriously. I like to take long hot showers in the morning
4. How long does it take to get ready for your day? including the shower, shaving, drying off, clothing selection, breakfast and grabbing my gear to go, I'm thinking it's a little more than an hour and half.
5. When possible, what is your favorite place to go for breakfast? IHOP/Denny's someplace with pancakes and a tall glass of orange juice. Though in Austin there's this great place on Guadalupe & 29th called the Taco Shack and it has the awesomeist egg&potato burrito's and it's near a great coffee house called Spider House.
Well today has been uneventful to say the least, last night was enjoyable though, I ran into my friends Timbo and Anita ( Alicia's sister ) had dinner with Timbo who sat and listened to my dehydrated madness before having to leave for work and sat and talked with others while they made plans to move to Utah, one for college the other for the love of the one going to college. crazy kids. Other friends came and went, Michelle who I went to High school with and who is also a friend of Haitham's who is due back on the 16th of August, hooray for that. Michelle was at Starbucks for the hiring fair, good luck on that one. Jason showed up we chatted for a bit while Kyle Jack text messaged me about my mission that I didn't get to go on and later Leslie with Anita and promptly I hugged her and accidently copped a feel, honestly it was an accident, but I used the situation to my advantage like I normally do and proceeded to make a joke of it, she was a bit shocked and told me she'd tell her boyfriend all about it, but I said don't worry I'll call Timbo myself and proceeded to do so. Timbo and I talked for a bit and everything's cool, not that there was ever anything wrong. Promptly after this we retired to the patio and Spades were introduced, we only played a few hands before we all had to leave. last night was a good night. Today will be a good day and speaking of that I have to be going now. later!

Jason showed up we chatted for a bit while Kyle Jack text messaged me about my mission that I didn't get to go on and later Leslie with Anita and promptly I hugged her and accidently copped a feel, honestly it was an accident, but I used the situation to my advantage like I normally do and proceeded to make a joke of it, she was a bit shocked and told me she'd tell her boyfriend all about it, but I said don't worry I'll call Timbo myself and proceeded to do so. Timbo and I talked for a bit and everything's cool, not that there was ever anything wrong. Promptly after this we retired to the patio and Spades were introduced, we only played a few hands before we all had to leave. last night was a good night. Today will be a good day and speaking of that I have to be going now. later!
