03/27/06 Spring Break

Hrrmmm....... I didn't go anywhere. Stayed home, cleaned the house, wrote up business plans, got screwed over by IHOP... stuff like that. I need to get my ass in gear and get this freakin PHP project done. 45 bux an hour, I should be motivated, but I'm not. What the hell is wrong with me, I'm so lazy. I have a sign over my front door that says "life is to short to be lazy" and yet I seam to be even more lazy when I confront the issue.


I feel VERY excited about my business plans, it'll be a lot of hard fucking work but I think I can pull it off, just work little by little.....

3/27/06 IHOP vs. Waffle House

Just got back from IHOP with sammy-D. I got the new "cina-stacks" and was severely let down... It's three pieces of french toast with cinnamon syrup all over /w icing. Ok, so that was six bucks... I look in the menu again and see that I could have gotten 6 french toast for the same exact price, that means that I paid three bucks for cinnamon syrup crap, wtf ? At least you know what you're getting at Waffle House and you expect overpriced crap food... with IHOP, they play it off like they have quality food when really it's over priced crap.


I'm done.

03/20/06 more self-realization

What if my intentions, my direction, what I feel, isn't at all what is destined for me ? What if happyiness is not over in Africa, what if it's right infront of my face ? Am I too blind to see that ?

03/14/06 last night

Went to the Movie Gallery film festival last night, cool as hell. Eddra got me into the VIP and their was tons O' food, it was all so good, i couldn't stop eating... Anyway, I met some very cool people, this one dude, Jeff, took a Greyhound 30 hours all the way from Conneticut to see his film win. He did in fact win the entire thing and we wound up celebrating by going bowling ??? I was in charge of showing him Auburn and we wound up bowling....... It was fun talking with him because he was an intellectual, very full of life & dreams. Before he won first place, I said I'd buy him an Irish carbomb if he won, so we went to Bumpers and all they had was AmberBock, so he got to try an Amberbock bomb instead. It's funny when you meet someone that cool and you have stuff in common & get along. We were both big fans of The Big Lebowski so he got a whiterussian...

Jeff said that his Opelika cab driver was insane, like Dave Chappel's uncle or something. This guy was freaking Jeff out saying, "If you win man, here's my number, we'll go to Waffle House and celebrate and then go get some pussy.... When Jeff told me the "Waffles & Pussy" story I nearly hit the floor laughing.


Last night was a much needed break for me, I'm highly stressed from school. I find that if I do the things I really want to do, and not think about the consequences or repercussions, I'm happy. Yesterday, after classes Bailey and I went running when usually after classes I go straight to work. I did what I wanted to do and everything worked out just fine. I was an hour late to work, but my work hours are such a grey area anyway

Surround yourself with people that are smarter, wittier, and more learned than you, you'll find yourself assimilated to their level. I was watching this APT telethon thing and as for a "show" they had some motivational speaker. This guy was brilliant. He said that he is super successful, and you know why ? He doesn't make any decisions himself !!! He surrounds himself with brilliant people and these people, though they don't know it, are his "board of directors". He lets these people make decisions for him. I guess we all do that to some extent, but this guy lives this theory. He said to an audience member, "I'm going to say something to you that will hurt your feelings.... Have you gone through a divorce, lost money, found yourself unhappy with life ? Sir, your absolute BEST thinking got you in those situations !!!" Naturally, an individual will think that his or her thinking/logic is the best and not even consider they themselves flawed in some way. This guy was saying that, YES, your thinking/logic is flawed and surrounding yourself with learned people is the solution.

This whole idea really isn't an epiphany it's just that I try to do that as much as possible and I really related to what this guy was talking about.
