JamNet

I think it's mostly official

2005-08-04T20:41:17Z

Anyone want 2 tickets to see Pearl Jam at the Gorge. I can't find anyone locally that wants to go and can a.) spare the time off or b.) spare the change for a flight ticket.

Oh Wellz. Face Value if anyone knows anyone.

Homogenized...no, I like the ladies...

It's another weekend. I finished runs 9,10,11 in the Library at the Monastary on WoW looking for my Illusionary Rod. Not found... great. Tried to get another run going and the instance broke. So that's like 4 failed attempts to get to Doan that aren't in the total count.

Just thought I would put a warning out there to anyone reading. My credit card has been charged twice in the last month by companies in Sittingbourne, UK. I've never been to the UK nor have I bought anything from there. The first was a ring exchange site for cellphones. Yeah, right, I do that, sorry I use T-Mobile's services for that. I tracked the latest one to templateofthe.net , a website that sells website templates(lame). Basically I'm thinking it's a front for a company that wants to charge a few thousand people at a time for $7.77 and hope everyone pays or the credit card company won't reverse the charges. Sounds like free money to me. Anyway I filed a complaint through the FTC (https://www.econsumer.gov/pls/econsumer/wimsnery2$com.main?p_lang_seq=1) though I doubt it will do anything.

Going to Gorge

2005-07-17T21:02:21Z

Woot! Title says it all.

Classes done....

2005-06-26T16:34:54Z

Ok, still way too addicted to WoW.

Another week of class is done. More stuff I won't use at the office, but maybe it'll come in handy if Steve comes on a bind so I won't feel totally lost to what I'm looking at.

I'm looking forward to next weekend. Why? Well it's Live8. Still not sure what we're going to do about getting there, but living within an hour of philadelphia it's not much of an issue.

Oh well. Off to wash my car now.

PICTURES!!!

As many of you may or may not know, the Trenton Titans have won the Kelly Cup. Couldn't be a more awesome event for a home team. They especially made it exciting by skating their best period EVER in game 5 when they were down 2-0 coming into the third period. Shortly into the period Leon Hayward (who would later become MVP for the playoffs) showed how the Titans have owned the third period by scoring the first of five goals. It was the most exciting game I've seen since the night former Titan Mattheiu Brunelle scored 5 goals in one game, and it far surpassed that night. I'm still trying to recover my voice I was screaming so hard. Unfortunately, to enjoy all of the home games, I left my camera at home, at least until the victory celebration outside of the Sovereign Bank Arena this past Sunday. Below is one of my favorite's from the day, but I think there were tons that came out well, so I processed and posted 95 of them to my gallery.

New stuff

2005-05-19T03:16:56Z

I don't update often. I'm sorry. No one comments though so I just assume I'm not being read.

Two of my most recent updates.

1. I hate wireless networks. I'm a network admin (well it says that on my business card, really I'm a sys admin) and I still can't get my home network to work the way it should. I hate it. I hate being beat by technology.

2. I bought my bike. Bought a nice 24 speed Raleigh Mountain bike. UBER! Went out yesterday and surprisingly, it 'is just like riding a bike' even after 8 years. Took two rides yesterday. I need some sport clothing though.

Here's one of me with my two favorite people that's up on The Benderz website (www.thebenderz.com). Please checkout the band's site and if they're in your area go see them (I mean what else were you going to do anyway besides sit around moaning how there isn't anything to do in your state). There are tons more pictures on their site under the April 15th Savoy's show, see if you can find me. Anyway it's a favorite shot of me pre haircut and sporting my new glasses. It's a month old now and I'm now officially now a month into my 25th year... and now instead of being depressed about being 25 I'm depressed that I'm being skyrocketted toward that 26th.

Entries gone?

2005-04-20T01:08:09Z

I gues live journal ATE some of my entries.

I know there were at least a few entries about my obsession with Warcraft since February and I just don't see them.

Oh well.

So this past week was my birthday, yay! It sucks turning 25. So what do I do with that feeling, I drink. I drink alot. In fact I drink far more than I've ever let myself in a short period of time. Sadly it still wasn't much compared to what I know some people drink, but I don't drink. I'm ok with that, it made Friday that much more interesting. In addition to that, I got to see my favorite local band, The Benderz and I remember that much of the night at least. There are TONS of pictures for the April 15th show with me and my friends in them, see if you can find me.

So, I also got new glasses last week, so no more pictures with that old man's tint ito my glasses, played the worst round of golf of my life and broke some things at work before I left (it wasn't just me so I don't feel all that bad).

Ok, I'm a liar.

Sue me.

I still haven't developed snow pictures and that was what, 3 weeks ago?

More snow I hear for the weekend too. Bugger.

I knew WoW would suck up too much of my extra time, I haven't painted much either in the last couple weeks either. I think I'm going to have to put it away for a week or two to get some other things done in my life that are backing up.

Wish me luck at work tomorrow.

New Pics

2005-02-01T21:40:54Z

Sorry they're all hockey again, I promise to have some snow pics.

Titans vs. Bulldogs

Here's my 2 favorites:

Snow Pics are soon!

WoW Update

2005-01-27T23:40:08Z

Ok.

Anyone interested in finding me at my new 'home away from home', I'm playing on Cenarion Circle under the character names: Raylen or Kyrian (some bastard already has Kyrion, my other usual alterego). Feel free to try and find me there, just remember it's an RP server and I do try to RP when I can, but I do accept some ooc character messages.

I have some pictures from the snow storm. I hope to work on and post some of them Sunday.

2005-01-21T22:01:22Z

Well I did it. My life is about to become less productive. I've bought a copy of World of Warcraft with some of those winnings I came back from Atlantic City with.

It was nice knowing all of you...

I F'IN HATE WORK!!!

2005-01-17T01:35:42Z

Aside from everything breaking that could break... wouldn't you know these are the times when we find out OTHER things are broken. I've now worked through my weekend and expect to work through what should be a day off for me tomorrow.

To top it off, because I didn't drive (like a fool) I didn't get to take many pics of Rob's campus. I got three shots, all in the dorm, they suck even though I haven't looked at them. Oh well there will be more time when I start working 4 days a week for the rest of the YEAR BECAUSE IVE ACRUED SO MUCH COMP TIME !!!!.

2005-01-13T21:35:12Z

Going to AC tonight. Wish me luck.

Pictures of things other than hockey.

2005-01-09T17:03:24Z

Ok, so it's more like 'picture' of something other than hockey. I took the following candid shot of my friend Rob at one of the recent hockey game. I have some other pics of the friends I usually go with that turned out just as good, but he said it was ok for me to post pictures of him.

Happy New Years

2005-01-02T05:07:12Z

It's officially a day late, but I thought I'd wish it to anyone reading anyway.

Week of Vacation

2004-12-29T21:05:44Z

So I've been off all this week, today officially puts me at the midpoint of my vacation. I can't say I've gotten much done. I've had some fun, I'm sure more will come. What sucks is another year without a major new years party. I haven't had one since my first year of college. Go figure it also happened to be the one that I didn't have a girlfiend, so it's either I have a girlfriend or I go to a New Year's party and watch everyone else bring in the new year with someone.

Shot more pics at home for the holiday. I really want to get some professional shoots done though, the only pro stuff I do attempt are the Titans hockey games. I'll have to take some pics of my figures but they're just not as exciting as shooting someone.

Can't decide the temperature....

2004-12-20T22:15:51Z

I go to work, it's freezing out.

I get to work, find out the air conditioner has blown in the server room, our servers are cooking (to the tune of 140 degrees...)....

Get home, the pilot light has blown out in all the wind, I freeze.

GRREEEAt..... bleh.

Yahoo

2004-12-15T21:56:22Z

SO today was a lazy day. I love work party days, and working for the state, the holiday season is easily one of the worst times of the year to get things done due to distraction. I'll have pictures tomorrow. On a positive side I got compliments over my brownies. I thought they were good, not that that I put a much more work into them than anyone else would buying brownie mix, but it was nice to see it didn't go to waste. Also made me feel good I brought something people wanted so I didn't have to feel like a food mooch.

A picture....

2004-12-10T04:20:11Z

...ok. I'm slow. Leave me alone.

I did come up with one phenomenal (or at least I think so) from a game I was at about 2 weeks back now. There were a couple more that were good that need to be processed. I think I'm gonna start deleting some of the crap though.

You can view the original (MUCH LARGER) in my usual smugmug gallery. I'll be looking to get prints of this one I think.

If I ran into Bush too, I don't think I'd be waving with 'all five fingers', I've got one big one I'd love to put right in his face.

I am soooo fucking behind

2004-11-26T06:14:15Z

I haven't posted any photos. What is wrong with me.

I went golfing today. I sooo wish I had the camera. There were some awesome skylines with the amazing cloudcover and breaks(and none of that crappy city stuff to get in the way) and it was all capped off at the 18th green by the largest most colorful rainbow I've ever seen in my life. It was just such a beautiful day to be outside.

It's cold now though. I despise winter and it's officially rolling in.

The most annoying fone ever.

2004-11-22T23:12:37Z

So I got together with some friends yesterday. It's a college get together, LAN party type thing. One of my friends however unearthed the most annoying phone I have EVER heard. The best part is that it's abusively loud, ear piercing and probably easily hidable.

The hard part is to come however, who do we inflict this horrifying fone upon?

Work sucks...

2004-11-18T23:44:24Z

... So I hit MY deadline, but I'm not sure if the rest of my unit is going to hit the followup. I worked my ass off too the last three days. I started at 9 yesterday and was going until 1AM last night just to be ready for today. Hopefully it won't all be for nothing.

I'm chilling tonight though, some of the pressure has died down. Right now I can't wait until tomorrow night though. Tomorrow we go to Savoy's and see The Benderz (www.thebenderz.com). They're an awesome cover band sponserd by Jagermeister. Last time I was actually up at the stage singing some of my favorite Pearl Jam (like the big dork I am). I need to relax, this should help.

On a side note, I haven't touched my camera enough. I need to take more pictures, I'm just not shooting enough. I'm turning into a sports shooter because all I really seem to shoot are the local Titan's games and I don't want to be a sports shooter, it's just something that's there. Maybe I'll take the camera tomorrow night.

2004-11-08T22:59:37Z

Ok, as of 6 (3 minutes from now) I'm declaring vacation.

I don't want to look at work, I don't want to think about work.

Tonight I go get my copy of halo 2(yes, I'm still a dork) and then 3 days of NOTHING.

I think I'll be doing a lot of painting and hopefully get some pictures of my results as well as get out and get some pics. There's a hockey game wednesday night I plan on shooting, should be interesting after the weekend game I went to.

I swear I will stick to making this a one per day deal. Just need to get some of my real life friends to start reading it, make it seem meaningful. I guess content would help that too.

Daily rants are usually good, but every time I seem to think I have the best rant, someone outdoes me. This week has been hell, and yet tonight two of my best friends have called me or told me about their weeks and it just makes me feel like maybe mine isn't so bad.

On a side note I am trying to better myself as well. I've decided to try to cut the swearing, I think it has cut into my ability to speak intellectually. At the very least I'm trying to censor myself.

Pictures are coming. Going to try out my camera tonight to shoot some of the miniatures I have painted in the past (one of my billion other hobbies).
