Holy shit. What an awesome night. First off, it was absolutely beautiful outside yesterday! I started the day early and went to handle my shit at the DMV. The line was long but at least I got to do my thing at the window and did not have to ‘take a number’ and wait around like everyone else. I went and got karate bagels afterwards. They raised the speed limit on the main road in my town which helps a lot. Man, to think that in my Senior High School Government class, we tried to petition the county to raise the limit. 9 years later… Wee

Got my car washed which was way overdue. This place next to me does a pretty decent job too. I was so damn lazy I did not want to do it myself, and it is just so easy to sit and watch other people do it. Chilled out a bit after that and caught up on some DVR action. I headed to Baltimore around 4 and got there in a pretty decent amount of time. Hit Eastern Ave and did a lil bar hopping. Going alone to a show is never fun so you have to make the most of it. Headed down to the venue, and prepared to rock the fuck out!

There were some pretty kickass bands playing with Biohazard. I had never heard of any of them so did not know what to expect and was pretty happy when they didn’t suck. Haha. But the only reason I was going was to see Biohazard. A few years back they “broke up” and it did not last very long. They reunited and also brought back original guitar player Bobby Hambel. They fucking destroyed!! They covered a lot of their material and since I was in the front I got to pump them up and shit.

At one point, Evan - the singer, asked what we wanted to hear. One of my favorite songs of theirs is “Five blocks to the subway” so I screamed that. And he said “WHAT.” And shoved the mic in my face. “FIVE BLOCKS TO THE SUBWAY!” They broke into it right there. It was on their set-list but they changed the order and satisfied my demand. Hehe. It was fucking badass. I was in the front of the crowd and was able to get some pics with my new digital camera. Weee. I interacted with them a lot during their set, as apparent by the pics. They are some kickass dudes and I really needed a good night to just let it all out. Mission accomplished!!

I have had WAY too much shit on my mind and it was good to just not give a fuck about anything and let it all out. I went alone so I had to make the most of it. I am starting to think that I do things best alone… why the hell should I try hard to include anyone in my shit if thats the case. I’m getting tired of wasting my time trying. Besides, anyone I try to include either isn’t mature enough to realize what its worth, or just wants to take advantage of it. Fuck it!

This past weekend was fun. Caturday was “Rock Band 2″ day and we had the full band going. Your man Toxi was beatin’ the skins, Joe was crushin’ the axe, Mark was destroying the bass & Michael was nailin’ the vocals. We were really having a good time. The songs in the new version are so tight. We did switch it up a little bit… its fun to fuck around on the vocals and guitar some too. Hehe. “It’s the eye of the tiger. It’s the thrill of the fight. Rising up to the challenge of our rival. And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night…” You shoulda seen me… CRUSHED it.

Mom and I snagged J and we headed up to FedEx field to see the Redskins play the Arizona Cardinals. We got there at a decent time and got the grill fired up. I love drinking beer and eating cooked animals at 10 am on a Sunday. Ahh. J made these killer pork chops and the burgers were cooked to perfection. We got shafted and had to walk around the stadium to get to the escalator, which was kewl. Some interesting people attending these football games.

The very last section of the escalator was broken so we all got sardine canned on the landing until we could walk up the last bit of stairs. BULLLLSHIT. But whatever. Beats walking the ramp! We made it to our seats, which were in the upper-deck (as usual) on the 50-yard line. This is the first time we have been that close to the middle. Yay. Got some nice pics. You could see the action a lot better too. You could see the chearleaders better too. MMM. The game was a tight, back-and-forth battle that went down to the last few minutes. We ended up winning the game 24-17. The ‘Skins are really starting to click on offense, which is coming just in time, since we gotta go to Dallas next week. That’s always a tough game.

Last night was “Prison Break night” so I caught up on that, which is getting fucking bonkers. I also need to catch up on Weeds, and have to finish season 2 of Heroes so I can start to watch the new season which started yesterday. I hope it’s not shitty. We made an impromptu Chik-Fil-A day, which is always nice, and came back to campus to eat outside in the courtyard, and our two friends were there so we sat with them. We had some interesting conversations… Work drama, training on “how to interact with Indian Nationals” and more work drama. Either way, YAY fil-a-day!@#$

Tonight was happy hour night and we went to this snoody restaurant that was very ‘eclectic’ to say the least. I am still getting shit for that fagget Red Robin messing with me so I tried to punt that off and actually have a good time at this happy hour, which was almost achieved. I don’t know how I became “that guy” in the group, but its really getting stupid. Everything I say is taken as a joke or twisted into some out of context bullshit and is starting to annoy me. I mean… what the fuck. Oh well. What else do I have to do on a Tuesday night? Sigh.

I am finally going camping with Mark and Krysta this weekend. I am so excited. I have never been camping this “deep” and for this long, so it should be interesting. I get to shoot a gun for the first time ever, and will probly get eaten to shit by all the bugs, but it will totally be worth it. I know half of the people going, and have wanted to go for some time, so its good to finally get the chance to go. Fuck work, go camping! HAHA.

Anyways, off to dreamland where I might have a better chance of being taken more seriously. Weee.

… Get out of bed this morning. Fridays are the only work day that I get to sleep in, and it is the most magical time ever. Even if it is just 1.5 hours more sleep than I get any other night of the week. As if I needed some sort of excuse to like Fridays… pfft.

I got absolutely nothing done at work yesterday and it sucked balls. My production install went smooth (for the third week in a row - BONUS!) but then the rest of my day was shot by so many damn meetings. We had a super long lunch meeting and I was damn near falling asleep. If I wasn’t goofing off with a colleague I would have just zonked out and slouched over. She is so goddamn awesome. Her sense of humor is the best. We were making fun of these people in the videos that were playing. Her boss was joking about how he wanted to switch seats with her so he could see what was making me laugh so hard. I knew it was her making me laugh that hard, but told him that I was looking at icanhascheezburger.com to cover for it. Smooth operator in action. Look out!!

After that, I did not even attempt to get any work done. I took care of some administrative bs, managed to thrash my outlook calendar (fuck you microsoft! your products suck - ‘cept 360) and cleaned my desk some.I should have went and shot a game of pool in the game room or something. Ugh.

As we were walking out of the office we saw a friend and he mentioned that he was going to Clydes to attend some happy-hours for peeps leaving the company. It was hella nice outside so I decided to change my plans and hang out. Got there, saw my buddy bar-tender and talked with him for a few then went outside. Hooray, some of the regular happy-hour crew were chillin! There was no room at the table so I pulled a chair over and sat next to the table. Saw my buddy Ryan, who just had his first baby boy and talked with him for a few. Came back to the table and some dude that was already at the table had taken my seat. And I swear… motherfuckers like that need to take a picture if they want to remember me. This dude would NOT. STOP. STARING. at me and it was disturbing! Go away creepy guy!

Whatever. But seriously … “Where is that fucking waiter?… Ah fuckit, I’ll just holler at my bar-tender friend.” Thanks for taking such good care of me all night, Dave! All-in-all, I managed to have a pretty decent time - at least when I wasn’t being picked on about the Red Robin experience, or being ‘ignored’ by our punk-mofo-bitch-ass waiter, or being left out of conversations at the dinner table. I took my plate inside, downed my beer and just took off. I bet no one even noticed that I was gone. Weeeee.

I be ghost’n. Peace the FUUUUUCK out!!

The body gallery held a customer appreciation party last night and it was a blast! Lots of kewl peeps ended up making it out. I am glad to be associated with such a kick-ass group of people. Many beverages and rose petals were consumed. It was one of the more fun nights that I have had in a while.

Tonight, I am holding my first Superbowl party. I got the phat HDTV in November and can’t miss watching my first big game on my first big screen. I am going to have a few friends stop by. Making some wings, nachos, and all that good stuff. Hopefully the game is not a stinker. Either way, I know we will have good eats, and a good time.

Shit… tomorrow I am going to see HED PE in Maryland, and then Hellyeah, and Machine Head in DC on Tuesday night. Gonna be a nice lil stretch of fun stuff. Weeee! Fuck yeah!
