Party time, excellent!
Today was the day that my baby sister got married. I had the pleasure and honor to be the man of honor, since she did not have a bride’s maid. The ceremony was beautiful. Being there, by her side, to share her most special moment was the best feeling in the world. Many of our family friends made it out. It was so great to catch up with everyone. We all seemed to enjoy the ceremony and reception that followed it. Some of us even tried our best to get freaky on the dance floor. Hehe.
I had to give a brief speech and had my sister crying. I almost got her husband crying too with my words about welcoming him to the family. I had people come to me afterward to tell me how moved they were by my words. I used what I had written for the first bit, but then went into “heart mode” and just talked honestly. It ended up being a home run. Go me!
I am so proud of my baby sister. She touches my heart is so many ways. I am so fucking happy to be her big brother!
Hope all you out there in my imaginary world had as good a Friday as I did…… Continue Reading

Zoinks yo, what a crazy week!!??@#$
What a week it has been! It started Saturday… Fucking POURED all day. The shit from Hurricane Hanna made its way up here and it unleashed some serious rain & wind. We needed it and all, but it was crazy. It started Friday night and did not end ’til about 7pm Sat night. I do not mind being a couch potato at all and enjoyed sitting on my ass and watching NCAA football all day. Played some video games, had a nice dinner with my Mom, Sister and her Fiance (MMM Outback) and then had a buddy over for more gaming fun. Good times.
Sunday was an awesome day of football! WEEK ONE!! I got to watch the ‘Skins on Thursday so they were not playing. Instead, I got to watch Brett Favre play his first game on his new team. That was kewl and all but the highlight had to be when Tom Brady went down for the season 20 minutes in with a serious knee injury. I have wished for 3 seasons that he would get his head taken off and it finally happened, well kinda. But YAY. It sucks and all, you never want to see anyone get hurt, but I totally dislike the guy and his coach. Maybe he… Continue Reading

Time flies when you’re having fun…
Thats for sure! Holy hell. What a busy past few days. Last Tuesday I was planning to meet some coworkers at Dominion Brewery, which is a local brewery here, but it also had a pretty decent restaurant. Anyways, the damn thing was shut down. That sucked. I really enjoyed that place. Had lots of good times there. At least I have those… Instead I just went home and jammed on some Rock Band and went to bed early. Boo early meetings!
Wednesday was much of the same. Just kickin’ it trying not to work too late. I managed to get some relaxation time in before taking a really nice walk. I don’t do that enough. I been meaning to buy a nice bicycle, but haven’t done that. Guess as the weather gets shittier it would kinda be the time. Maybe I can get a good deal on a sweet ride. I should ask my buddies at work… They seem to know more about it than I do. Some crazy shit out there, that’s for sure!
Thursday I went to a local bar and hung out with my buddy Josh. He is taking off to St. Louis with his family and I am happy for him. It was good to hang for one last… Continue Reading

Weekends are the best!
We have this thing at work called “Summer Friday” where if you have your work for the week completed and are in a position by the middle of the day Friday, you could leave work early to enjoy a half day. As developers some of us never got to actually have one. But this past Friday, we were super slackers and left at 1:30. Fuck yeah.
I was really looking forward to this Summer Friday. Josh and I had been planning this Friday for a long time. We were going to see some of the Subnoize Recording Artists up in Baltimore. We missed some of the opening acts but were able to sneak through the admission line and catch the majority of Hed PE’s set. They fuckin’ rocked! Jahred blabs too much and they could have gotten 2 more songs in, but whatever. He always has funny shit to say. It was also nice to see him doing his civic duty by signing boobs after their set. Fun times!
Tech N9ne came out and rapped for a long ass time. He is pretty tight. The crowd was really into his performance and the place was packed so it was kewl to see everyone going nuts. This group of young idiots next to me… Continue Reading

Apparently I’m a Tattoo Model in Italy…
Can’t sleep… AGAIN. UGH. So I am looking thru my flickr referrals and came across this site that has given me a whopping 8 hits. Seems to be some hip website that might be popular in Italy. Judging the pictures of the girly looking dude in the article I am not sure what the fucking thing is about or why its using the image of my Mom tattoo… Of course, I say this before I attempt to translate the page. Where you at Google?!
Haha! After translating the article it seems that some actor dude got a mom tattoo and his Mother got all bitter. Sucks for him. My mom might not like the fact that I have so many tattoos, but I’m pretty sure she likes the Mom tattoo. That’s beside the point though. GRR. This fucking site stole my shit. I am about to hit ‘em up and be like WTF?!?! Obviously the translation is not so great, but you get the point.
As he writes the “National Enquirer” Zac would have liked even the word “mother” on the body to show the mother Sterla all his love. Pity that she did not welcome the gesture, which would have ruined the beautiful skin clean your baby. Moreover we know:

Rockstar Weekend
I love fun weekends. For real. I needed a super fun weekend before going back to work. That’s exactly what I got. On Caturday, I got to see Jenni and have her work on me. I got a neat tattoo. Kinda secret right now but I’ll post more later. Hurts like a bitch. Now its time to heal. Ugh. I hate healing. Chilled with her and some other peeps after and had some dinner, played some Rock Band (I got a 565 note streak on one song playing lead guitar – OH SHIT) watched the Skins game (3-0 preseason FUCK YEAH) and read more of my book. Shit is awesome.
Sunday was the ROCKSTAR Mayhem Festival down the road a bit. It was pretty awesome. Lately, I have become more of a fan to see shows at bars and clubs. The big venues are cool, but I really don’t like people that much so it kinda sucks most of the time. We saw Mastodon, Disturbed and Slipknot, and I went over to the second stage to catch Machine Head. They destroyed – as usual – and it was really kewl to see the side-stage crowd getting hardcore into their performance. See my previous post but it sucked cuz Phil collapsed during their second… Continue Reading

Too bad vacations have to end…
I don’t want my vacation to end. HEHE. It has been so awesome. As it nears the end, I can’t help but look back and think that this has been the best vacation ever. For me anyways. Mostly, I just needed to get the fuck away from Virginia. I had been working heads down for the last few months, busting my ass! Plus, I bet there were a few people that were glad that I was not around. It’s always nice to have people miss you though.
Tuesday was our last day at the beach. Sadly, that was the day that Mother Nature decided to open the jar of shitty weather that had been bottled up during our stay. We went for Cracker Barrel and it started raining – and didn’t stop. Weee. We did some souvenir shopping, finished packing up the room, and loaded the car. I got a bunch of tight new metal albums from bands I have heard of but never was able to find in the record store. \m/ After all that we left around 6 PM and headed for Jacksonville.
My good friend Mike (Paco) lives down there with his wife. We stayed there for the night to get a jump start… Continue Reading

Most Awesomest Week Evar!
Fuck yeah. Vacation is just what I needed. To get the hell out of Virginia. To run away from work. To not hear from anyone for 10 days. It has been working out to plan pretty well. The weather has been absolutely perfect the entire week. Low 90′s, partly cloudy, not a damn drop of rain in sight. Some pretty neat heat lightning in the evenings but that is kewl.
Lots of time on the beach, lots of time in the pool. Lots of drinking. Lots of shopping. Lots of reading. Lots of just fucking relaxing. Soooooo nice. I snuck a peak at my work email and things seem to be going smoothly in my absence, which is relieving.
Lots of crazy shit in the news while I’ve been away… Brett Favre (its Fav-ray people) – this missing girl in Florida. Lots of crime on the news down here. Pretty crazy. Most of the talk has been about the weather though. So perfect. Last year it was craptastic. Thankfully this year has been much better!!! I am getting a tan, which is nice. I was able to swim from one end of the pool to the other underwater with just one breath… that was fucking kewl. 2 years after quitting cigz I can… Continue Reading

Vacation, FINALLY
After a fucked up couple of weeks I finally got to run away to Florida for my summer vacation. Work was insane this week. I guess that is kewl cuz its over now, and I get to party for 10 days without having to worry about it. Well, try to. Hehe.
We launched the new Autos main page Thursday. One of the biggest things we have done this year, which is surprising cuz we have been having a killer year. I think its pretty solid. We pushed it live and have only been notified of a few minor issues so far. No news is good news in my book. It is super hard for me to just walk away from it the day after, however.
I also found out that my team is getting split up a bit. Kinda bummed about that – kinda happy about it. They are going to be moving away from me. Good that the old stompy guy is moving, but shitty that my fellow dev lead is moving away. Sometimes, she’s the only reason I can make it throughh the day. Sigh. They are talking about moving my other engineer down by me which is kewl.
Lots of mixed emotions this week. Not really something I wanted to… Continue Reading

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.
