Sounds Like a Case of the Mondays
Bullets anyone?
  • My Powerbook is totally tits, except for a few things. 1) It can't play Oblivion. 2) Safari can't handle Blogger, so I had to get Firefox. 3) It can't play Oblivion 4) I don't have a freaking delete key, or a home key, or an end key
  • I'm not sure if this started before or after I decided to buy a Mac, but I have the urge to go backpacking... for at least a week, although a month sounds better. I think most of that stems from my current existential crisis-ing, and consequently, the rest from my unconscious assimilation of society's view that nature and solitude will help me A) recharge my batteries or B) find my center, but I'm not unwilling to consider the effect of my Mac's groovy hippy powerness on my psyche. We'll know if I pull up to some National Forest in a brand new Jetta. Or maybe it's just because Charles called me a social liberal the other day...
  • I bought a video I-Pod, the sixty gig model. Go big or go home I say. Anyway, my purchase is probably proof that I-Pods have now jumped the shark, since I run at least a few years behind mainstream adoption of any technology. (For example, me finally getting a real cell phone last year, or a MySpace account like two weeks ago, which I don't really use because, well, I have Facebook, and I don't use that much either). Anyway, I'm not really looking foward to my next plane ride, since between my Mac laptop and I-Pod, I'll probably have to buy an extra seat to fit my bloated sense of self-satisfaction.
  • I'm currently *cough* flying to China to pick up the first season of Entourage. I keep hearing that it's good, and I know GMack has a man crush on Jeremy Piven, and I'm bored at work, and I haven't decided if I'm going to start playing World of Warcraft yet to pass the time, and if you've played WoW you should tell me if it's worth my time (or not), or tell me if Entourage will really rock my face off or just seem kinda cool until you realize that it actually sucks balls like Rome.
Blogger, Pictures and Bullets working seamlessly? No way, Jose.

1.) I think the problem with your bullets might be the template, so remind me to get on that. Does anyone else see a formatting problem with them? I could figure it out right now, but I won't, because I'm lazy and at work.

2.) I'm going backpacking for a weekend during July 21st-23rd. If you want to take a long weekend and go backpacking with me, get a plane ticket and fly out here. It's going to be really awesome, and you could totally come - I'm going with Mark (the other guy in that weird head picture on my blog), my brother Phil, and his friend Eli so far, but the trip is open to everyone. You could fly out Thursday night and fly back Sunday night or Monday morning. Think about it. How many trips can you justifiably take to see me this month? Well, I hope it's greater-than-or-equal-to the number of Mac products you've bought, which means at least 2 for this month. So, there you go.

Aargh, I would totally go, but I totally can't. I have to play in the Pro-Assistant the 24-26 down in Myrtle Beach, and it's easily costing me the equivalent of a plane ticket to CO and back, only I have the chance to win a couple grand. Let me know for next time, or if you want to quit your job and go hike through the Swiss Alps for a few months, doing odd jobs for cash, because- I'm in.

You truly have embraced the inner life of a bum. I find it amazing that you can make lots of money doing the things that you do and yet you still find time for crazy life-side-quests. You have lived in tons of sweet places and have visited cooler places than I am pronounce. No purpose and direction yet you still are extremely successful...it makes me jealous.
