Bicycling and Drums!

     Heynow. Ah, I'm at work again. This weekend was okay. Friday night I hung out with my brother and his friends in Pineville. The next day I went to Heidrick to see my parents. I did my laundry, we all went to dinner at Cracker Barrel in Corbin and while I was there, I sold that 007 James Bond painting and she said that I might have some more customers coming my way, including a screenwriter that might use a painting for a poster for the movie. So that's cool. She said he was a big deal but I'm thinking that it's just a person she works with that has a script in the process of getting picked up to become a movie. Not a huge Hollywood production, just a short independent film which is still cool depending on the content. I don't know, this is just what I'm thinking is going to happen. She said some LA film writer that I kinda recognized but she could be lying. Anyway, it'll be cool if it's real.
     Well, I'm in the "friend zone" with that girl I sent flowers to. I don't know, I was probably too forceful by asking her out to dinner Thursday. I'll either keep being friends with her (hanging out, going to events with other friends, etc.) and then ask her out when she's ready or just not really talk to her anymore. I don't know. I'm not really asking for help, I'm just wanting to figure things out for the better. Do I just focus on her because I really like her or do I keep being friends with her and try to see other people (because that's tough for me because I don't get out that much because I have high anxiety and I feel weird about things). I'm really thinking about moving again and being closer to the office. Hopefully I can find a place in Middlesboro that's not far away. I have this somewhat strange fantasy that if I lived closer to work, I would ride a bicycle to work. It would be great exercise, not spending any gas money, I would have a book bag to carry my lunch and other stuff. There's a guy mom knows that has a place open and it right above the guys garage. It's real close and it might be a good place. Since it's over a garage, I won't have any dick head neighbors and I might be able to bring my drums. The house is about 25 to 30 feet away from the garage. That would be cool. Bicycle to work, come home to play drums and be noisy when I want to be. That sounds great to me right now. I really miss playing drums, I'm so out of it I need to practice somewhere. The drum set is at my parents house but they have a bunch of stuff in my old room because they're redoing the computer room flooring and painting the walls. They have all the office stuff in my old room. Oh well, what to do but to move on.
     I'm back from lunch now and I've got a bit of work to do. But in the meantime, I've brought my camera in and has set up a handful of peanuts for the squirrels so I can film them. I don't know why but the camera stops at 30 minutes when I have half a battery and 74 minutes left of memory. I need to try and fix it so that it will stay on until the battery is empty. I'm not sure if I have any footage yet. I tried two days last week with none of the nuts being moved. At the moment, I do hear birds and crowing outside crowing. I was thinking of using the footage of the squirrels to make a video and put music to it. The camera just stopped recording and it looks like some of the peanuts are gone. I'd say a bird got'em because the shells are gone as well. If it was a squirrel, the shells would be around the other nuts. Anyway, that's what I'm doing besides working and doing this. I guess that's it. My life is exciting, later peeps.

Yous sexy like...

     Heynow, I had a snow day from work today. I didn't do a lot today but I did paint. Here's Bob Dylan:

      Sorry, it's not for sale. I took a picture of it with my new camera. I'm so happy about that camera. I do wish that it had some other features like night vision but oh well. A friend of mine texted me at about 4:20PM and we've been going back in forth with jokes and lines that we thought of ourselves. Jokes like "Yous like King Kong, bitches are better than bananas." Basically "Yous sexy like" jokes. He started it but I started the thread. Good times with old friends. Anyway, that was my day. I probably can't goto work tomorrow either. This weather is getting bad. Snowed last night, this morning, now tonight and tomorrow morning, then a few days after that. Like three days in a row. Anyway, I'll go now. My life is exciting, later.

To get or not to get?

     Heynow! It's 8:47AM and I'm at work. Looks like it'll be an all day work blog. Anyway, I've decided that I'm going to start Twitter on New Years Day. I've had the idea of unveiling it on a new year. Starting new, starting something new to me anyway. Twitter is not new but I have an idea of what it is. It's basically just your Facebook status and you can basically see what all people are doing at that time. I'm setting a goal that I'll post at least on thing a day for a whole year on Twitter. That's probably not much but I don't post everything on Facebook and I don't post one thing on there everyday. If I hear, see, or write a joke I'll post it to be funny. Twitter is telling people what you're doing, if anyone really cares. I don't think any of my family has Twitter so I think I can be a little bit more truthful about things and I can curse. On Facebook, my family and other church people are on there and I have a reputation of being nice or not cursing. Hopefully some good things will come of it.
     Last night I transfered the last of the drawings to canvases and now in the process of painting. I might paint a simple on tonight and then do something else. Last night I did feel productive. I cleaned my kitchen then transfered drawings. After that I played with my helicopter, played Donkey Kong Country on the Wii (I bought it in the Wii Virtual store) and worked on the computer. I was thinking about recording the ukulele song too but didn't have enough time. Bed time was approaching and I had to get some sleep for today. Yesterday at work was a day that I was avoiding work. I just wanted to goof around. I did do some work but it felt like a day that I didn't want to do anything and it worked. Today I have to catch up a bit. A few minutes ago, I remembered that I was going to plan out the plot for the mountain skyline wallpaper. Since it takes a lot of time and Paint.net keeps crashing I've decided to not do it. Besides the picture is too pixelated to see it with good clarity. I don't know, I'll try and figure something out to make it easier. I measured the wall and it's 11'-7" wide X 7'-0" high. I might make it half the wall or have a window frame around the picture so it looks like its a window and you're looking out of it. That sounds cool, right? I think I'll do that. It's still the great view and it's some form of art since I inserted a window frame. I think I'll measure my windows and get the right fit so it'll match my windows. In the meantime, I'll find me some good window frames on Google and Yahoo image search.
     On the picture subject, I was grocery shopping at Wal-Mart after work yesterday and I stopped by the camera section and found that the camera I was thinking about getting is $109 instead of $129. I have some saved up money (Christmas money) and I think I'm going to get it. I do have to get a SD card too. I can't remember how much they are....let me check. Oh, an 8 GB SDHC card is about $20, not bad. Maybe the camera will come with one, like a 4 GB or 2 GB. Dang it, the camera I was thinking of doesn't shoot video in HD. There's a camera that's $50 more but it says that the Middlesboro Wal-Mart is out of stock. I like Canon camera's but there's one Sony camera that's ten dollars less and in stock. I'll check out some reviews on it. So far, the reviews are good. "A great point and shot camera as well as 720p video quality." That's good for me, I'll probably buy it after I pay my rent, pay my bills, and have some extra cash which might be next week. I'm off to lunch now.
     I'm back from lunch. I'm still looking for window frames. Now I remembered that there are bay windows, the ones that have a 3D look to them. I found a good one. I'm going to go home later and measure it. I might save the image on a flash drive and edit it at home then plot it out when I'm ready. Oh, my flash drive is in my truck. I'll just use Photobucket. Ah hell, I'll just get up and get it. Well, I got it and I probably don't need it now. I edited the pictures already. Now I gotta chop it in half and make it into two pictures. Okay now I chopped it up and it's going to be a total 6' wide x 4' high bay / bow window. It's 4:10PM now and I'm about to wrap things up. Hopefully my boss will leave in a few minutes and I'll plot out the "Window Mountain" picture. It's now 4:29PM and I just now started plotting. This may take awhile. Two 72" x 24" sheets of paper with the best quality on type image. I'm going to guess that I'll get out of here about fifteen minutes after five o'clock. I should have done this another day. The first page is about 60% done and it's 5:11PM. I'll be lucky if I get out of here at 6:20PM. I'll just watch some YouTube. My life is exciting, later.

Next Day Karma Starter

     Heynow. It's guess it's karma, I've not having a good morning. When I woke up a few minutes before my alarm, I thought "It's Saturday" meaning I could sleep late. Nope, it's Friday. When I got up to goto the bathroom and do my routine I had a "morning wood" situation. So I went number one sitting down and when I got up I pee'd between the seat and toilet so it ended on the floor. Ugh, not a great way to get up in the morning but after a while it'll be funny. That's way I don't really care about saying it on here, piss happens. After that I took a shower, got dressed and drove to work. That's were I am now. 8:44AM and my boss hasn't come in yet. I hope he comes in for a few minutes and then leaves for the day. I love Fridays like that. He'll come in like usual and then at lunch I'll leave for the day. Then I'll skip out a few minutes later, get my lunch and eat it at home. I've got a feeling that it'll be one of those kinda Fridays.
     Now 10:49AM and that feeling of my boss leaving early has somehow vanished. Even though there has been no calls of business coming in or going out I think my boss will be here most of the day. Oh well, I don't have that much work to do so I'm listening to music, watching some video's, but when I hear him coming my way I switch back to work stuff and continue what I was doing. Maybe he'll stay for no reason other than because yesterday was great for me. Another karma day that I haven't had in a while. It's keeps me grounded, I think.
     On to a different topic, I've been playing the ukulele a lot more this past couple days. Like if I wanted to play something, the ukulele would be picked up first. I need to learn some new song on it to make myself better at it. I think it's an underrated instrument. I did learn to play "Cry Baby Cry" by the Beatles on piano the other day. I need to start playing other songs besides the Beatles. The other day I was playing guitar and all the songs I played were Beatles songs, I later realized that I need to look up some new music. I listened to Fistful of Mercy's album when I was driving home yesterday. One song I really like is "Father's Son". All the others are okay but not really catchy but I've only heard the album one and half times. There are a couple songs that are repetitive, saying the same one or two lines over and over, which I don't think is good. I popped in the Muse album this morning and It's okay too. I haven't finished it but the songs are good. Alternative Rock meets Classical with a little Techno sounds. Fistful of Mercy sounded like Crosby, Stills, & Nash with Alternative Rock and Folk. I like'em both is what matters. I'm trying to expand my musical vocabulary with new music styles.
     It's 11:45AM and I went to bathroom and on the way to see if my boss was sleeping, he was. Going to the bathroom usually wakes him up. I didn't check on my way back to see if you was up. The phone rang, it was a recording telemarketer, he's probably up now but I still don't hear anything moving in there. Once you've been working somewhere for a while, you pick up on sounds that indicate something. When I hear the combination of the squeak in my bosses chair when he gets up and the closing of his briefcase, I know that he's leaving for the day. I got up to blow my nose and my boss came in to ask how was on the phone. I told him it was a telemarketer and now in the bathroom. Sometimes that's a sign that he's leaving. But is it for lunch or for the day. Time will shortly tell. Also him having a late lunch means he's waiting on someone (probably girlfriend) to get here so he can goto lunch, then go. Dang, he came and said "I'm going to lunch then I'm going to stop by the bank (that we're constructing), I'll be back".
     I want to lunch as well and now I'm back. Listening to Bubba the Love Sponge while in my truck eating my lunch. He's the new wave redneck version of Howard Stern. Since I've pretty much have done all of my Christmas shopping (After work I got some stuff for other family members), I thought about getting something for myself. After I do some math I'll wonder what I'll get. I was looking up camera's that also take good HD 720p video and I think I've settled on a good camera. It's a Canon Power Shot SD1400 IS. I like looking up products to get or give. Compare prices and to see what all functions it can do. I'll be saving up a little for this splurge. With that camera I can shot HD videos for my YouTube channel, take better quality pictures f my paintings, and so on. Anyway, hopefully your day is going great and you'll later read from me. My life is exciting, later.
