Justin, Yes, we have your address. I’ve passed your request to Vickie. Vickie doesn’t have an answer at this time. I know funds are tight right now. I’ll let you know when we have an answer.

Did you get my new address? - JustinMoney is tight? Pawn some shit. They are contractually bound to pay me within 30 days. The problem with that is I can't afford to make them pay.

Excuse me doctor. Drop your pants and grab your ankles. I need to see the difference.
Opinions are like assholes, everyone has got one.I've set an appointment to get a second opinion from another doctor. He knows he's there to give me a second opinion and he'll have the other doctors information. I hope he sees things differently.

Hypothetical Question
If I were to steal the skin of a corpse (with no living survivors) to use as a skin graft for someone else, should I be punished? If you say yes? Who's the victim? Who's rights did we protect? If you say no? It is still theft.

morte
I hope my soul bleeds to death tonight while I sleep. So that I never have to wake up again and can spend forever in my dreams.

He's off making the nasty...
My brother is on his honeymoon. I would like to make it known that he has restored my faith in love. I saw it today when they looked at each other during their vows. I almost cried. I'm such a girl.

exitus an exitialis
Sometimes doing something wrong feels oh so right. Sometimes what is right feels very wrong. Anyone can do the former, the latter is what defines character. Tonight my wound runs deep.
Knowing that there [could be] worse pain doesn't make present pain hurt any less.
One small step...
For the first time in my life I walked up to a girl that I had never spoken to before and started talking to her. It wasn't a flop but nothing came of it. What does matter is that I got up the courage and that she didn't laugh in my face.
This is why I work late.
10:04pm - Thin (Citrix) server is down. Can't remote it. I can ping it however. I can't see anything else about it. I'll listen to Counting Crows and IM while fighting this fowl demon. 10:26pm - "Fuck you keyboard error. You're mom is a keyboard error. The fucking thing is plugged in." 10:45pm - I can get into safe mode. Wierd. Any attempt to boot normally and the server hard locks at the login screen. I'll keep digging... 11:30pm - I can boot into normal windows now but after an intermittent amount of time the server takes a fat shit. Nothing in the event log to tell me why. This is going to take a while. Time to brew some coffee. Everyone needs some hot coffi in 'em from time to time. ;) 2:14am - After much turmoil I've found the problem. There was a corrupt print job that was killing the RPC service. I deleted the jobs and now everything is kosher. I haven't seen that happen in years. Weird.
it's official
I've been diagnosed with a "severe" case of ADHD. The therapist was "impressed" by my ability to function as well as I do. Next Thursday I go in to the doctor to get perscribed some medication and then we begin work on changing my habits so that I can be more organized. I walked out of the doctors office optimistic.
my tires should pleasure me
I just spent $750 on tires. I didn't want to but the tires were becoming a safety issue.
No away
Sorry about the lack of away message over the weekend. I wasn't ignoring everyone. For some reason my computer wasn't locked and away wasn't set. Which is odd, because Trillian normally sets me to away after 15 min of being idle.
R-Day
I've decided to leave the company I work for. I've given them 2 months notice. My last day will be April 1st 2005. If I can find a good job in Vegas by April 5th 2005, I will be staying in Vegas . Otherwise I will be returning to Dallas, Texas. The jobs there were just too good.
She moves me.
Some people are like an earthquake. They rumble in, changing the landscape, causing destruction, pain and confusion and leaving people wondering just what the hell happened. Then there are others. These people are like the sea against the shore. They change the world one soft caress, one light breeze, at a time. They move mountains and touch lives in such a profound way but noone ever pays mind. Well I've spotted one and she's moved me and I don't think I'll ever be the same.
talk about bad news...
Many events have unfolded over the past few days.
- Saw my cousin Eddie who has been in prison for 10 years.
- Saw my mom who I hadn't seen since she left Vegas.
- My grandmother died
- I found out I'm a sociopath
ADHD frequently co-occurs with other problems, such as depression and anxiety disorders, conduct disorder, drug abuse, or antisocial behavior.
Score 0 if the trait is absent, 1 if it is possibly or partially present and 2 if it is present. The item scores are summed to yield a total score ranging from 0 to 40 which is then considered to reflect the degree to which they resemble the prototypical sociopath. A score higher than 30 supports a diagnosis of psychopathy. Forensic studies of prison populations have reported average scores of around 22 on PCL-R; control "normal" populations show an average score of around 5.I scored a 21. Add on top of all that the fact that I have obsessive-compulsive tendences (but not full blown OCD) and you have someone who can go batshit-loonball. It's not all bad though...
"There are psychopathic personalities in the highest echelons of government, and even within religious hierarchies in America. You can't just assume that a person with the title judge or hospital orderly got there honestly and won't manipulate the hell out of you."For more info... Now I'm off to Mexico, I'll see you all in a week...
clutch
Yesterday my car started making this horrible sound. It sounded like metal on metal. I like my car being noticed, but not for the obnoxious screech coming from it. I took it into the dealership from which I bought it and had them take a look. As the title of this post explains, it was my clutch. The total cost? $1100. I'm just glad I had gotten paid already. Now I'm still broke for another two weeks. Gah. Half my paycheck is gone. On top of all that, Becki got me sick. It was worth it though. ;)
Jennifer Radcliffe and Mike Scrimshaw
I learned last night the Mike Scrimshaw and Jennifer Radcliffe are engaged. Good Luck!
Harvelles
These are photos from a club in L.A. called "Harvelles" with this great little jazz/blues burlesque show on Sunday nights. The show seems* sexy without trying. The place just oozes of a sub-culture that I could grow to love. Vegas could really learn a thing of two. Personally, I would take this show over a strip club any day. Enrique (a friend of mine who moved to L.A.) introduced me to everyone. He's a regular there. With him, there was no cover charge and all the drinks were on the house.
I've also noticed that in L.A. you're limited in options. You're either rich, trendy, hot, or single for life.
* I've seen them practice and know that to be false.Avoiding Death
I watched someone die. I arrived at the gym just as the ambulance pulled up. A man was leaving when he collapsed. It was a heart attack. No one attempted CPR before the paramedics arrived. Had I arrived 5 minutes earlier I could have tried.
He had spoken to the girls at the front desk and to my trainer and mentioned he had shoulder pain. If he'd only known the signs of a heart attack...If my trainer knew the signs of a heart attack...This man would still be alive. That ascpect of things lingered in my thoughts for the remainder of the night.
I don't know what type of person he was. All I know was the he was 54 and new to the gym. He could have been the worlds sweetest grandfather or a depraved child molestor. What I saw, was a man who was probably told by his doctor that he needs to get in better shape. He worked too hard, and died. The cure is what killed him.
I've watched enough Discovery Health to know that this man wasn't going to make it. He was flatlined when the ambulance showed up. They couldn't get his heart to startup again. I'd ever seen someone dead. I guess there is a first time for everything. For some reason it was easier for my to handle because I actually watched it happen. I actually found it morbidly fascinating.
I don't want to be that guy. It scared my into, at least, three more years at the gym.

I b0rk3d it.
The links to blogs on the right will not be back until I upgrade to Wordpress 2.0.1. Since 2.0.1 is not out yet (but due soon) we will all have to wait.

Where's the standard? (and other random shit)
Normally, I go to the LVAC on Rainbow. This past week I went to the LVAC Central location. The Northwest location (on Rainbow) has all new equipment whereas the Central location has old equipment from around 1995.
I went to the same exact machine at the old location as I did at the new location. The only difference? The year it was made, or so I thought.
I put it on Level 7 and set the time for 60 minutes. Normally that would be 700 or so calories and 200(ish) flights of stairs which equals about 4 miles. Not on this older, crazy ass, machine. This machine had other ideas. Level 7 for 60 minutes meant I burned 900 calories and went up 240 flights of stairs which ended up being 5 miles.
Just so everyone knows, my body gives out at 4.9 miles of stair c limbing. The only thing that was hurt (in the long run) was my pride.

More Than the Sum of Your Parts
For some reason, this struck me as exceptionally true today. Sometimes you just have to take calculated risks. Sometimes you have to push yourself to expand beyond your own boundries. Allowing yourself to become more than you were before.

My Own Maid
A series of mistakes on my part has made me realize that I need to make some serious changes to my perspective and how I live. I've been too busy trying to move forward with life that I haven't taken the time to finish things. You can't cross a bridge until you've built it.
Because of my own oversights, I have managed to pull others down as well. Many people have made fortunes on the backs of others. They die sad, alone, and unfulfilled. I will not be one of those people. I would rather struggle my whole life than dance on the backs of the bruised and beaten.
Here's to cleaning up my messes.

He-Man (2006)
He-Man. My brother brought this to my attention. It will be directed my John Woo. I can't wait!
Locked Up
I spent Jan 3, 2006 in lockup. I was in jail for some old tickets. This whole story would make a really good post, but as of right now, I don't care to post it.
