stupid wireless router...

[maybe i'm stupid for not getting it to work after an hour of messing around...]

I think it's about time for me to crack the instructions open...

the washer and dryer has come... and I connected the dryer, with no gas leaks I might add, and in the process I saved myself $85...

now I have to go get a wireless router and some wireless cards...

why?

BECAUSE WE ARE ONLINE!

WHOOO HOOOO!

... ... ...

when I was living at my mom's, I took for granted broadband internet.

once I moved into the new house, it was like being cast back into the stone ages... it is different if you never had cable or broadband...

but once you've been to paradise, you never want to leave...

... ... ...

but that's just me.

... ... ...

so I have to scour to find a good deal...

... ... ...

leave me.

I am scouring...

it is like every other monday, except for it is today.

this is the first monday that has been what would considered be a normal monday.

although, monday's on the average are abnormal. so if the average is abnormal then it must be abnormal to be normal.

therefore, a normal monday is abnormal (which would be normal)

... ... ...

in any case, tomorrow is tuesday. which is exciting for me (and I would say for my wife also) because we are not only getting internet access, premium cable, but we are getting a new fridge, washer, and dryer (although not in one big combination machine - could you imagine trying to get a bottle of water during spin cycle? you'd get all wet!)

so tonight, after mowing the lawn, I will need to go and get wireless routers and cards for the computers in the house.

... ... ...

and then I will have to get the tivo configured somehow...

... ... ...

I'm thirsty.

paintball and poker.

they are amongst the top of my list of most exciting things to do...

why wouldn't it be?

I was accompanied to the indoor paintball field by my best man, my brother-in-law, and my future brother-in-law... (everyone else was either broke or chicken... :-P)

... ... ...

paintball is a relatively simple sport to understand, to play even. the problem is, like racing, all other things being equal, your gear sets you apart.

Yes, there is strategy and there is patience and there is the balls to just run full out under heavy fire - but in the end, if your marker is a piece of crap, you are not going to tag anyone out...

basically, your marker needs to shoot straight, shoot far, and shoot consistently. if you don't have that, then you are a running target for the guy with the custom autococker, nirogen, evo II and thermal lenses. I'm not saying you need a super awesome marker, tank, hopper, and goggles - but you need a steady showing.

kind of like poker. although, poker, luck can play a huge role.not so much for the better players, but for the other guy... Sure, any two cards can win. well duh, but the person that knows the odds, knows the players, and knows how to bet can consistently come into the money...

of course, if you are really lucky, then you can play however and take out the best player because you have no clue what is going on and you are just throwing chips around.

In any case, I happen to be on point...

so I won.

sketchy, because it was my bachelor party, but you have to admit... I can kick ass if I feel like it - (that along with the utter lack of inebriation on my part)

in any case.

I think I was the first person to win his own classic.

... ... ...

well... I have forgotten a lot of this night, as it was a while ago (from the vantage of my actually writing this) so I will leave it there.

there is some fine tuning that needs to be done right now...

and things are flying pretty fast...

so much to do, so little time... (so little time in the sense that I want to get it all done now, but since that is physically impossible, I will have to extend the time in which I would like things done over a period which is greater than now)

but here's a milestone that i think you all can appreciate...

I will have full cable (plus all of the premium channels) as well as cable internet access by next tuesday...

therefore it will be much easier for me to do my non-work stuff while I am not at work, which will allow me to focus on things at work, and not have to forget things at home...

or something...

oh... and now... I have found away around the firewall...

so I can access any site that is typically not accessible for the non-elite...

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!!

I can also instant message once again!!!

Hooray for God! Hooray for me! (do you remember that song?)

anyhow... I have to catch up with work...

redesigning this site will wait until next week when my wife and I can figure out what to do with this...

oh oh oh...

and I need to get wireless...

exciting...

... ... ...

well... maybe not for you...

(but this isn't about you now, is it?)

... ... ...

sorry... the exploits of the last three weeks will have to wait until such a time that I can get my head back into gear, and we get our house in order...

... ... ...

we have returned... to the states that is...

we are sitting in a preferred guest lounge at the weston near LAX, as we wait for lorie's godmother...

there is so much more to come...

and I need to upload oodles to pictures.babiegoose.com

gotta run...

time to eat

I got the day off... feels so good, all day long...

my mom made me make this line dancing CD a long time ago...

all of these songs to which you can line dance...

for some reason...

that day off song, it got itself stuck in my head... so whenever I say I have the day off, the song immediately starts playing...

working on the programs...

gotta run...

... ... ...

I found her, by the way... the girl I was looking for...

I was looking for one, but I didn't like the way she looked, so I got a different kind...

better...

I think...

we'll see tomorrow...
