Harper Reed: Software, PHP, MySQL, YoYo, Juggling, Baphomet

man.

i am rather burned out. i have been working with php-mvc frameworks and they are making me not feel smart. it is totally bumming me out.
i need some help. some change. someone to punch me in the eye. eep cryptic. heh. i am soo bored. i guess i just need to represent and [...]

need sleep. stat. love. csharp.

I am rather sleepy. tonight/today was good. I coded all day in
anticipation of my new tool being released. I am excited. unfortunantly
all my work is going to be looked at as sketchy - cuz the competitor
released their "upgrade" which is significantly better than what they
had, and rather similar to what I have done. doh! I guess I have to
redo and make mine a lot bett…

interesting milestones.

i was playing around with my blog software and I noticed something pretty cool. I have taken over 1000 pictures with my nokia cell phone cam and have roughly 2525 pictures total in my photolog. I have taken pictures of a bunch of neat stuff. it is pretty cool. I have wanted to make a view that is the text from the blog and the pictures all in one fancy view. but I haven’t. maybe soon. haha.

i just woke up and i have bad breath.

work is awesome again. on friday I did a bunch of stuff getting acclimated with flash and such. kinda fun. then I got bored and wne to drop off some cds to my “boss.” he was in his office with this dude listening to music. they were listening to death from above 1979. so I hung out and we all talked about death metal for about 40 minutes. totally awesome. I love it. then me and some fri…

my eyes are dripping tiredness

however, I don’t feel very tired. I really don’t understand how it is that I am able to lead this weird dual life. my friend adam equated it to the original mods from the 50s and 60s. he said they used to have normal jobs(working 9-5) and look like business people - then after work they would transform into these fashion seeking scene people. right after my friend adam told me this he started s…

THEY LIVE again. for the second time.

last night was pretty fun. I hung out with hannah. we went to the faint. but first I slept until 8. rule. I love naps. I nede to eat better and sleep better. that is the way to the future. anyway. I hung out with hannah and we saw the faint. it was pretty good. tv on the radio ruled me.

whew. finally updated. for real.

it has been a weird couple days. It all started last wednesday. tommie called me to alert me of his presence and invite me to scissor sisters. that ruled. we hung out then. and then we went to crobar and I broke myself. i hadn’t been feeling good. so I stayed in bed friday. then we…

this weekend was a mess

probably more later. seriously. to describe the nonsense would be impossible. it was rough. I made it. barely. much much much much more later. I promise. for now: pictures - pictures -

trout. i mean lobster.

i really want to go dancing - big band style. all of a sudden. or just watch triplets of belleville. something. just not be up or at work. I am tired of wearing “business casual” clothing. I really want to just wear jeans. or whatever. just something that isn’t “business casual.” I suppose I will get over it. ;) I go through these…

METALLICA!!!

haha.
so this weekend was pretty ridiculous. it was generally out of control. basically I just hung out and did the things that make my life incredible. haha. it all started on Wednesday (of course). so for the past couple weeks I have been working nights a lot. so I have also had a LOT of screwed up sleep - i.e. none. especially at night. soo… on Wednesday I was struggl…
