Shitty Week
And its only Wednesday. Monday was kewl until the afternoon time. I pretty much acted like an idiot, ran my mouth like a whore in confesssion, and didn’t get shit done. Then yesterday was one of the worst days I have had in a while. Had to run around like a maniac getting some executive orders done. I felt like a dick for not talking to her. I just didn’t know what to say. I wanted to crawl into a hole and die. To make matters worse she probly hates me for thinking that I was trying to avoid her.
Didn’t get any sleep last night. Don’t know how I’m gonna make it through today, or the rest of the week for that matter. I just want to run away and not look back. Why do I always manage to fuck up good situations?
Sigh*. What is a boy to do.

All work and little play makes Brandon a dull boy
Which is why I got to play on Saturday with my friends. We went to the Bob Marley Reggae Roots fest up in Baltimore Maryland. It was real neat. The pavillion sat right on Pier6. We could see lots of water, boats, neat scenery and got lots of breeze. We had lawn seats so the Sun was pretty bad but the big awesome clouds came to bully the Sun away and save us.
I have not seen live Reggae much so this was a new experience for me. It was hella kewl. I had a blast. There were lots of chill people and we met a few of the musicians from the different bands. We ended up hanging out for the entire afternoon. We missed the first few bands but caught Soja, Barrington Levy, Ziggy Marley (acoustic set, YAY) & Stephen Marley. Damien came out to do some songs as well. It was really awesome. I gotta admit, they really had the crowd into it and they were very talented musicians.
Being the white-guy-that-cant-dance that I am, I learned a few moves from the back-up singers. They had some moves! So I dedided to dance around like an idiot for a bit and enjoyed myself. This kid passed out on the lawn so… Continue Reading

But I am Le Tired!
Wow. What a week. Aside from all the craziness at work, my week included kickball fun time, work happy hours, PI happy hours, and a lil bit of rock band. I have been busting my ass at work on this latest project. It might be the most important thing that we do all year in the Autos group. I have to get it done before I roll out for vacation next week.
Monday was insane. I barely got anything done. People kept bothering me and distracting me. I don’t mind a few people but when everyone comes at me its a bit overwhelming. Tuesday rocked. We played kickball. Our team has not won a game all season (maybe 10 games) but we came out on fire and kicked some ass. We played really well. The first game was tied and went to extra innings. I got the chance to kick with runners on base and drove the winning run in! We won our first game of the season, 3-2. We destroyed in the second game and won 5-0. Woop woop!
The rest of my week was crazy. Too many meetings, early meetings… BAH. Luckily we got to have fun time at Bungalows Wed and Clydes Thur. Not sure what I would do without… Continue Reading

Another Super Awesome Monday…
Wow. What the fuck. That was crazy. I mean, Mondays are usually eventful… lots of meetings at work, going home and being bored… but today was the best Monday ever. Aside from the lame meetings, anyways. I had to get to work early for my weekly video meeting. My thing the past few weeks has been Karate Bagels on my Monday. (For those of you who don’t know – the local bagel shop had a very similar sign to the Karate dojo next door and it looked like there was a store named “Karate Bagels”) They make a very yummy bagel. MMM.
I got to work and walked to my telesuites meeting from my desk. My man Sean holds it down during that meeting. Its awesome. We did our thing and afterwards I walked to my desk and rocked out on the iPod. The day was pretty un-eventful, but I did manage to give a good demo of my channel template at 2. My manager even decided to show up which was kewl. After that, my day was going well. Until….
I went outside at 4 to get some sun and kinda take a break from the hectic day. There is nice courtyard right outside our offices so I decided to stroll down… Continue Reading

Another Crazy Week…
I have been bored as hell today and have been dreading the upcoming week. If this past week was any indication, the next 2 weeks are gonna be hell before I peace the fuck out for vacation. I’m hoping to finally get some face time with my manager after practically begging him to chat with me. There are so many things wrong with my team right now… its really dis-heartening. I still have hope though. A couple of us deserve better and I’ll be damned if we don’t get it!
I am supposed to give a big demo at work tomorrow and an even bigger one on Wednesday. I really hope that I don’t fuck up. The Wednesday one has me kinda nervous. The CTO will be there. Zoinks yo. I should do fine though once I get in my comfort zone. Basically, I just need to man up and not be a big wuss. I’m not used to all of the exposure that I have been getting lately on some levels.
I get to see Cavalera Conspiracy tomorrow night up in Balitmore. Not looking forward to going alone, but it is what it is. I do not wanna miss the show. There should be a couple of work happy hours this week.… Continue Reading

Bestest Night Evar (since the last time I said that)
Wow. Super super fucking fun night! So I mentioned getting tickets to the advance showing of the new Batman movie, the Dark Knight. Knowing we had a crew of people going to see the flick we set out of work early (hey! – we deserve it!) on a pre-movie adventure. Sure, we might have taken a wrong turn (whoops) but we made it before everyone else. Sat down, ordered some drinks and by the time we were half way done, Mark and Krysta showed up. Then Libby, then Ann, then Andrea. Yay meeting new people.
Got more drinks, moved to a table and ordered some grub. Luckily, Krysta had a friend in the restaurant that had gotten a work email saying they had to change the venue for the showing. FUCK! So we are on the other side of the county and find this important nugget of information out about 10 minutes after six. Mind you, were supposed to be at the theater to get tickets at 6:30. So we gotta bust arses now. BOO! Seriously, how do you muff that one? FUUUMBLE!!!
Scarf down the meals, get doggie bags for any leftovers, and peaced the fuck out!!! We flew down LCP and got to the other theater at about 10 minutes to… Continue Reading

Duty Calls… I suppose…
Its nearly 12:30 and… I’m working. Yeah — its because I took a break earlier, and because I’m dedicated, but I have a really crazy projeck (mocking someone at work) due before I bounce for the sunny beaches of Florida. It would help if there was not a ton of construction going on near us and the fact that random strangers are attacking my fellow dev lead. We almost had to bust out the big guns and go off on them with a water pistol and rubber band/other random office supply thrusting activities. They clearly had it out for her. We can’t have any of that!
There are other distractions at work too that are not as easy to wash out by blasting heavy metal music and acting like an idiot by head-banging and pretend moshing at your desk. I find them pleasant however, and wish they would occur more frequently throughout my day. Even though there is a bunch of shit wrong at work, some of it is right. And that drives me to do better. It will be mine. ALL MINE!! MUAHAHAHAHA!@#!
If I could think straight I would finish my notes and go to bed because I have to be up for my silly 8 am. Thinking has become difficult… Continue Reading

Just another manic monday…
“Wooooeeeeeooooo. I wish it was Sunday.”
Ha. Yeah, I feel like I’m going crazy enough to sing songs from the Bengles. Today was kinda crazy at work, as most of my Mondays are. Gotta love an 8 am video conference meeting every Monday! Then I found out that my QA lead was leaving her job. Then I just had a crazy day trying to deal with this new project of mine. Luckily though, I got to sneak away for a nice, very sunny lunch with Kelly and Krysta. Getting away is very nice during a hectic day. I am glad to have so many awesome people at my job to keep me sane.
My fucking arm is KILLIN’ me!! The bruise is pretty large, and the swelling makes my arm look weird. This is the first tatt that I get to ‘wet-heal’ – meaning I can slather it with Aquaphor – in a loooong time. After elevating my arm for a bit it is not as bad as the pics that I posted… but it is still pretty poofy.
Not gonna get to take my planned day off on Friday. I’ll never get a summer friday, cept for Wall-e day. 
But I am pretty sure that… Continue Reading

Gotta love Caturday!
J and Mark came by lastnight and we crushed some Rock Band. Our band name is “Blunt Force Trauma” and we fucking rock. My dude, Pickles, is kinda modeled after Pickles, the drummer, doodily doo. (Ding-dong, doodily, doodily, doo.) The most awesomest drummer in the world, of course. From the greatest rock band in the universe, Dethklok. We finally managed to make it through that ‘Who’ song. Shit is bonkers, and we annihilated a 12 song set, our longest to date.
Kinda woke up this morning and my bedroom fan was off. Then I got up to get some water and my bedroom clock was off. I thought maybe I turned the fan off when I moved it in the middle of the night… And then had thought that I accidentally pulled the clock cord out last night when I was drunk as a skunk getting ready for bed – and plugging my fone charger in.
Nope. I’m not crazy. The fucking power was out. The perfect way to start a beautiful Caturday. So now I get to lay here with Ayla and Bella and think — which I have been doing a lot of lately. Thinking of the townhouse I want to ‘buy’, looking for a new car, thinking of things to… Continue Reading

Fun times at the office!
This week at the office has been the most fun week ever. My manager is gone you know what they say… “while the cats away, the mice will play…” Kelly and I started a whiteboard drawing of our manager and have put all kindsa of kewl shit on the board.
First of all, Kelly did the face, and it looks just like him. She started the body off as a stick figure but changed the arms the other day to be buff ‘n stuff. We found a kewl kanji tattoo on the interweb, and put it on his arm muscle. We also made a “spring break” band around the arm which is kinda funny. We added his famous PDA & laniard and put a sombrero around his fat cartoon head. The sun is beating down on him and he (including his moustache) is burned… and it is fucking hilarious.
She has him saying – in his party hat — “make sure you do your timesheets.”
She is gonna be out tomorrow but I am gonna add some sand castles and maybe a few sand toys. We cannot wait until he comes back on Monday to see our creation. I will post pictures tomorrow to share the glory of our awesome creation. I hope… Continue Reading
