DESTROYED. well arms really. both are sooo sore. one of them hoever had two shots. that one is very very sore. the word is that I may be going quite a bit sooner than I had originally thought. which is both good and bad. june was going to work out really well. now I guess may will have to work o…

once again sleep is the loss

i can’t seem to sleep. I mean. I did take a nap from 10:00-12:00 haha. it wasn’t so much as a nap as much as it was an alcohol enforced sleep. heh. the plan was to have all of our friends meet us at the bar that is really close to my house. it worked very well. we got there arou…

recently on nata2

i was complaining about not having a really solid way to upload images from my phone to my server. I was using my MMS to photolog script, which totally worked good. but I needed a way to get ALL of the pictures from my camera to my server without havign to bluetooth them and then ftp them and then move them. so I found

looky here

so this weekend has been nice. on friday my coworkers and myself went to the hard rock cafe bar and met my friend winnie for drinks. she works there and was able to hook us up a bit which offset the billion dollars the drinks normally would have cost. it was a nice place. pretty chilled out - however around 5:30 - it started to get pretty full and crazy. after that I went and picked up some butto…

I had too much sushi and too much alcohol and ended up going to bed around twelve - …

sidekick

So I got my sidekick last night - and it has already proven to be a good deal. I got it through a place called simplycells.com for around $79 with activation and rebates. but I just added it to my…

I really don’t like it. but I am still laughignabout this prank I pulled on my friend scott - so I will share it with yall.. it is the last one for awhile.. (unless I continue to be awesome)So the setup was that I wanted to play a joke o…

good morning.. or not

today I woke up on the wrong side of the bed.. which is incredibly hard.. since there is a wall in the way.. but however I managed it.. I am totally backwards and screwed up today. it is a pain. first off I locked myself out of my apartment.. I wasn’t even ready to leave.. but I left.. then realized I didn’t have anything but my cell phone.. so I was able to call and wake matiss to have him le…
