Quote from "Night of the Creeps"

We all know that B-movies provide great action, suspense, and dialogue. This one is no exception. Night of the Creeps" is about these space leeches that get into any living being and make them a zombie. The climax is when several of the key characters.....a old, down-on-his luck cop and a geeky college kid, travel to the nest of the space leeches....which happens to be a sorority house. They get there in time, just to find that some frat boys have been zombified by these leeches. The girls in the sorority house don't know what's going, because they are too busy getting ready to party. Here's where the quote comes in:

As the cop looks out the window, he says; "Well girls, I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is your dates are here!"
Sorority girl: "What's the bad news?"
Cop: "They're dead!"

That's some great writing there. I give it an A in my book to B-movies!

2004 sucks so far!!!!

I swear, 2004 just keeps getting better and better. Complete surprises behind every turn. It's been a hectic and frustrating week so far. Here's the recap of the last few days.

WORK

Okay, so my co-worker Dana is out till Thursday, since she is on leave because her grandfather died. So since she is gone, guess who has to step up to the plate and help....ME! Now I don't mind some of the stuff because I've been helping her anyway. However, I'm doing almost all her job for the this week, except for Thursday, when she'll be in for one day. Friday she goes to get an operation. So basically her job is to work on invoices and confirmations, which takes up most of the day. I havent' been able to do my work much for the last few weeks because I've been helping her out. I need a vacation!

FRIENDS

I have this friend, Chau, who I've known since my freshman year in college. She is this very quite and secluded person....doesn't ask for help much. In October, I called her to see how she was doing. She told me that she wasn't doing too well because her father died, she quite her job, she broke up with her boyfriend of three years, and was in a car accident and still hurting from it, all within a few weeks before that time. She told me she call me back and I told her that I was coming up to Northern VA for New Years if she want to come and party.
Well, around Christmas, I decide to call her. However, I get a automated message on her phone that she wanted to thank everyone who called but wasn't taken any messages from anyone besides her doctor and lawyer. I knew she was in trouble to do this. It also said to call back on Jan. 2nd.
So after New Years, I tried calling but it said that the phone was not answering. So I waited a few weeks and callled again last night. However, it said that the phone number was not in service anymore. I got freaked out and decided to email her, in hoping that it would work saying I was worried about her. Well, I got an answer.....SHE FUCKING MOVED TO CALIFORNIA!!!! One line email....said she moved there to get settled and is a bit busy to reply back at the moment. I am so frustrated with her now! It just pisses me off to think that a friend would not tell this to me.

DREAMS

I had another wierd dream again last night. This time, I'm playing on jungle bars but I'm full grown. I see Paris Hilton and a couple of other girls hanging around there too. I'm hoping to get thier attention but it doesn't work. Then I run into a guy I know.....but never really knew that well.....John Delong.....and he wants to fight me. I stand up to him, but we don't fight.....and he backs down. The dream then goes on by me inviting Paris and the other girls to a family party. That's where it ends
So I decide to tell a couple of co-workers about this dream, including my friend Rachel. Apparently they both agreed what the dream meant. Here's the synopsis....I'm trying to find a girlfriend by getting the attention of Paris and other girls......very plausible! Standing up to John......facing myself that I don't like.......could very well be! And inviting Paris and girls to my family party......I want to have a family......maybe!!!!

So why the hell am I having so many fucking dreams!!!!

I need a vacation! I think I'll go to Ireland and find me a nice busty fiery Redhead!

Home on a Friday night....

I'm here, at home, on a Friday night! It's been a long week at work. Our vendor expeditor, Maranatha, had a breakdown or something and hasn't come in all week. What's bad enough is that she had a stack of work in which some is dated since October. Her job is a contact between vendor and customer and see the status of most orders that customers make. It's not good when she neglects customer orders since October.
Well anyway our Call Center director, Mitch, asked if my co-worker Dana who is the closest thing to working with vendors to do all her shit. The thing is, Dana is in the Merchandising department with me, and Maranatha works downstairs in the call center, so it is to different departments. Well, since Dana is doing Maranatha's job, I'm the lucky one who get's to do Dana's job, which I know by now. It just pisses Dana and I off the Maranatha allowed her work to pile up like that and then have us, a totally different department, work on it.
To top it all off, Dana and I only get a 4 percent raise which is suppose to be the company standard, we work our asses off. It was even acknowledged at the last company dinner, when the two of us worked on 10,000 invoices in a month....which was a record! And yet, there are a few people in the company that actually get more than the 4 percent because they either (A) bitch and moan and say that they will quit if they don't get what they want or (B) some just kiss up to the higher ups!

Anyway that's my rant for the week!

Right now I'm watching Talk Sex With Sue Johanson! I guess since I'm not getting any at the moment, I might as well listen to other peoples problems. Actually it's quite a funny and intertaining show on the Oxygen channel. She is the this old lady who talks about sex issues with callers and even shows off some toys and other tools! You never really get use to hearing this old lady talk about sex!

I've been having wierd dreams lately. One of the dreams include being in the next town over, Waynesboro, during a natural disaster such as a volcano or earthquake. During it, I remember dreaming of people trying to get out of town while a few of us stay. At one point, I am staying in a huge house which turns into a movie theater. I remember pulling out a gun which I think is laser scoped and shooting it a screen, but the gun doesn't work when I fire it. I don't remember much after that. Anyway, during lunch this work, I told a few people about the dream and they seemed to interpret it as dealing with the breakup with Loreley (which the natural disaster is interpreted as) and the gun not working......well, apparently deals with "shooting blanks"! I don't know.....you tell me!

Tomorrow, I will be working on the house again. We might put up the siding on the outside if it's not too cold. I also think that we will work on the front porch too.

Well, let me get back to Sue and hear about all the anal sex and female orgasims!

I'm the King of Icicles!!

That should be my title after Saturday. I went up to work on my house that day, which suppose to be a high of 25 degrees. However, where I'm at, there's a 5 to 10 degree difference, so it had to be 15 degrees!!! We worked mostly on the inside, but I had fire duty outside for better part of the day. I was playing with fire actually....burning the wood and trash! Anyway, we got most if not all the inside finished.
By the time I got up today to go the Church, I was hurting all over. Mostly my lower back and and my arms were hurting from hammering some hurricane straps inside. If I didn't have muscles before....I do now! When we got to church, it was a surprise to see my mom's cousin, her son, and they brought a young woman (married) to church with them since she was new to the area.
After church, my parents and I went to Lowe's to look at windows. I decided to look for an octagonal or moon shaped window for the living room/kitchen to lighten up them up. When we left, we got several lights for the outside, the bathroom and bathtub faucets, and the kitchen sink faucet on sale. All of them were a great find since they were on clearance sale. Later, I found out that they all totaled up to be what one kitchen faucet would have cost. Woo hoo!
After coming up, I was still tired. So I decided to take a nap, but being so tired from the day before, I slept for 3 1/2 hours! I was planning on going over to Rachel's place but called to cancel. Sorry Rachel! And I will post those questions some time, not just the personal wisdom that I posted on Friday!
Now, I'm watching "The Surreal Life" on the WB. Oh my...when you have Ron Jeremy (pornstar) and Tammy Faye "Baker" (a conservative televangilist) in the same house, you know trouble is coming. I was just watching when Rob Van Winkle (Vanilla Ice) was telling them and Trishelle (Real World Las Vegas) about beliving that we were orginially from outer space.....I just about died laughing! Also on the show is Tracy Bigham (Baywatch) and Eric Estrada (Ponch from "Chips).

PERSONAL WISDOM

I came up with a little personal wisdom today about the soul.

"The soul is the black box of our plane of existance"

I APOLOGIZE....

I want to apologize to those that have read my previous entry. As some have pointed out, my rant was not logical nor unbaised in my statement about "bad boys". I went off on a common rant that I have that I know...KNOW....is not completely true about all women wanting to date bad boys or those in need. I have been corrected on this issue many times, but always tend to come back to this conclusion when I am frustrated with the opposite sex. I apologize for my rant on the subject.

However, I hope you realize that at the time, I was angry, upset, and frustrated. At times, I write in this journal as a way to project my anger and frustration, in only because I did not feel like vented that to another person. I only say this rant when I get upset with myself in believing that "bad boy" concept only applies to me. I know it's not true, but I can't help from my experience to sometimes believe it. Can you honestly say that in this situation of anger and frustration that logic, instead of emotion, is applied?

I want to thank you to those who offered their sentiments and support. Again, I will apologize for my illogical approach and rant but not my state of mind. I hope you understand.

So long, take care, bye bye now!

Loreley and I decided to end things tonight. We both decided to mutually breakup. It started when I asked her how she felt about me after six months. The last few months, when I asked her the same question, she would tell me "I don't know". I realize before Christmas that things were not working out, but I decided to wait until the holidays were over to have this talk. Anyway, when I asked her this time, she finally admitted that she didn't love me. She was still not over her last boyfriend/fiancee when that ended over 10 months ago. It was difficult but I knew it was for the best for the both of us.
One of the things that she told me was that I was a "well rounded" guy, which was one the things that really couldn't get into. It's really be that stigma of being a "well rounded" or "nice" guy of why girls aren't attracted to me. I mean, we all know that women are attracted to that "bad boy" persona. There are so many theories of why women do that. Some inlude that the "bad boy" is exciting and unpredictable and women want that excitement. Another theory is that women want to be needed, or simply say that women want to know that men are in need of them to help them out in some way.
Whatever the theory is, I really don't care anymore. However, I think that because I am independent, well-rounded, and nice, it comes off as though I don't need to be help, being needful, or any kind of support. In someway I'm beginning to feel that I scare off women because of that. The truth is I do need that support, if only in the way of emotional support.

I'll find someone....someday.

PICTURES!!!!

Thanks to my friend Kristina, who was also the host, here are the pictures of the New Year's Party that I attended. Take a look! It was wild!

RING IN THE NEW YEAR!!!

For New Year's, I decided to go up to Northern Virginia to my friend Kristina's party. I left after work from Charlottesville, got up there around 7 to hang out with my friend Nick, and heading over to her party at 8. It started out great, which I even had some alcohol (which if you know me, you know I don't drink much). I had a tequila shot, several shots of vodka, a mimosa (orange juice with champagne) and coke with some rum (which the amount that I put in probably wouldn't be considered a rum & coke)! I was crazy that night, allowing at one point to drop my pants to show my American Flag boxers. I only showed them after telling some of the people there that I patriotic and they wanted to see them. Hell, I wasn't even drunk.

But the question is, "What did I do at midnight?"

The answer was in the bathroom watching my drunk friend puking her guts out in the toilet. Now, I'm sure you are asking, why would you be doing that at the stroke of midnight. It's not like you've seen any other drunk ass people puking in the bathroom. Well, I was worried about my friend because she is diabetic! I spent from 11 to 1, just hanging out with her, trying to protect her from the other drunken friends from taking pictures. So, at the the very stroke of midnight, while hearing the countdown outside, I was watching my friend puke!

Don't get me wrong....I wasn't pissed that I missed the countdown to the new year! Actually I was very proud of myself for being there for my friend. I don't get that many chances to be a friend much so this was a proud moment of mine. I've heard a saying before that says this, "A real friend will help bail you out of jail.....a best friend would be right there beside you in jail, saying 'Damn, that was fun! So I guess, I can say I was a true or best friend.

The next day, I went to see my friend Ginger and meet her fiancee Robert. All we did was play board games, which was a relief from the night before. They seem so happy with each other, so I'm extremely happy for them myself.
