Well Well Well.....what have we here? Blog : Weekend Edition?
Its been a nice weekend. Friday i spent some time with katie before she went off to do the whole girly " sit around and talk bad about boys while drinking" thing....i dont get girls sometimes.....I got drunk dialed and asked to see her later, which was fine with me, shes pretty funny when shes drunk....she also knows how to give me some pretty big scares.
Saturday....WE MOVED THE OFFICE FINALLY!!!!! Im actually sitting in my new office right now, its pretty nice. I hope to post some pictures of it relatively soon, its a really nice place, WAY better then harshman. Once we get the ped issues figured out, itll be even better ;-) After then, katie came over for a bit before she had to go get ready for her concert. She watched me wrestle with all the cables under my desk to try to make some sense of them all. Im sure it was as frustrating for her as it was for me. I went, saw her concert, met up with her after it so that she could get her TBS points for helping do chairs and stands ;-) and then went back to her place. At that point...the moment came.
I got to meet the parents. Now, saying this was the first time ive met her parents is a misnomer. Ive met her dad at one point before we were dating. Also, ive talked to her mother on the phone at one point, where she called me asking if i knew of any technolog savvy college students looking for summer/fall positions working with her at the University Of Findlay. This was the first time ive "met" mom. I always want to work to make sure i have a good relationship with the parents of the girl im dating just because it makes everything else work so much better. I hate friction in a relationship, especially with a girls parents. However, i met mom, and the strangest thing happened. I sat down, we were talking about music, and how she wants to go to the Pat McGee concert. She then started asking me questions about issues shes having with her new 12 inch powerbook (drool) Some of her icons werent responding to her selecting them, and asked me if i had any ideas. I said....hmm, took the laptop, changed the resolution, moved the icons over, then changed the resolution back. Boy she was a happy camper. I think this is the first time i had ever had to show off my skills with computers to attempt to impress my girlfriends parents. However, it went well, and i think i made a good impression. After that, i went with katie to dairy queen with al, red and some other people i didnt know, had some fun conversation and then went back to my apartment....and promptly fell asleep. Yah, we got home at 11, then fell asleep. What wild partiers we are.
Sunday, i got up, went to see SAI's musicale, saw mom again, then spent some time with katie this afternoon. Watched supercross on ESPN, messed with my newly installed partition of OS 10.2 server, eating dinner, etc. She studied for her anatomy exam. Like i said, were wild partiers.....and twice on sundays....
Now im at work, doing work stuff. Nothing huge. Tomorrow i have an 8am management exam, so im gonna have to peruse my notes to see whats going to be on it. Shouldnt be too bad. Hope everyone else had a good weekend. Chatterbox lovin sure has gone down in the past few days....makes wags a sad boy.....

Hello all....
Well, interviews are sure over. Thank god. Work has been kicking my ass, ive been pretty burned out. Its gonna be nice just to relax tonite and do whatever. Im done at 5. Thats gonna seem so early for me, since ill be getting home when its light out.
Classes could be going better, i hate kolla. HATE HIM. Ill deal with it, but damn i cant wait to get past his POS classes.
I get to go play at ITS today, woo! I found out that im going to be doing my OS X training for them next week sometime. Thats kind of cool for me, seeing as how i have only been there since last part of december, and they already want me to train their staff. Itll be fun to get harassed by all the full time people there, im not nervous about it at all.
Speaking of presentations, i just remembered this past week that i have 3 huge presentations to do before the end of the semester. I guess the new dean of the college of technology decided that tech majors done have enough public speaking capability, so they want all 400 level tech courses no matter what major to have to do a major presentation. Seeing as how all of my classes are 300+ and half of them 400 level, im gonna be busting my ass on them. Im going to do one on the new intel centrino technology for my processors class, one on bluetooth for my digital communications class, and i god knows what for kollas process control class. This should be fun. Im gonna try to hammer out the bluetooth one this weekend and hopefully get it out of the way.
Speaking of bluetooth, the 10.2.5 OS update came out for MAC OS. Wow. I had fun last night trying to battle with my network. I was using both my powermac and powerbook, and then suddently after restarting, both machines couldnt access my network. I tested different thing, then suddenly had a heart attack where i thought that both machines network drivers got aced from the new update. Then i realzed that i was getting a 169 IP address, which normally means its a network infrastructure problem and that it wasnt a problem with the hardware or software on my machine. Sure enough, i couldnt access any machines in my workgroup in our apartment. I tested my 8 port network switch, and sure enough...dead. So now im using this little ghetto 10mbps hub that only has 4 ports, so just enough for uplink and my 3 machines. Im definately going to have to get a new switch. Especially if i ever want to build a new windows 2k/2003 server or the linux box i want to build or if id ever get my new powermac....wink wink wink....
Also along the computer issues, i found out that i cant use my version of office v.x on more then one of my macs at once. Goddamn i hate microsoft. However, the new bluetooth integration in OS X.2.5 is awesome. Im using my microsoft bluetooth mouse, works 100000X better then it did on my PC. So awesome.
Katie came over last night right after i was done trying to get work done, but couldnt because i had to play network monster. It was good to see her, its always good to see her. I dont know what shes done to me, but i sure like it.
Just got done with my RCC senior lab staff meeting, pretty excited about FINALLY moving to our new office in saddlemire. This office is getting to be a pretty ugly place. New pretty office...woo, too bad we have to move on a saturday...hey, money is good, too bad im already probably going to have 30 hours for this week....
Hope all is well with everyone, im off to ITS.....come visit me today at 129 hayes, if im not there, im out on a ticket somewhere...

Yeah.....been one busy yatch lately.....
Interviewin after my normally full days, then trying to spend some time with katie. Its been so nice to have her around. Damn this girl is something else. Shes magic, pure magic.
Didnt do that well on the kolla exam i thought i did well on, i dont know whats going to go on in this class. Heres to hoping i dont have to retake it. Cause while i like BG...i dont like it enough to stay here any longer then i have to. Actually, it isnt the town, its the fact that i pay a hoejillion dollars to go here. Booo hiss...
Im really digging using my G4 as my primary machine anymore. Sure AOL IM sucks for mac, iChat isnt that great, but everything else is better. Honest to god, its just better. Im using a 3 year old mac that works better then my almost brand new PC that i built within the last year. Damn. i cant wait untill i can buy a new power mac. Then i REALLY can take over the world.
Good news on the monitor front, KDS quickly RMA'd me a new monitor, should be here soon. Im gonna use that one for my PC, since this old dell gets better resolution and better refresh rates then that KDS POS. Oh well, not that anyone really cares, but im just suprised KDS got on the RMA ball so fast to get a new one in the mail for me.
I have some pictures ive been meaning to post, but i dont have an FTP client on my mac yet, but once i do, ill have a picture fiasco for you all to see. Pictures from our trip to miami to see dave and tim, some pictures of the cats, and i think this weekend im gonna go out shooting if the weather is nice enough. Saturday were moving to our new office for RCC, so that will be nice. Katie and i have been invited to nikki samms party on friday too, that should be fun. I havent been to kamis in a while to see mike either when he works, maybe i can get some people together to do that.
The actual strongbad cartoon that came out this week is a riot......just....looking at a thing in a bag....drinking some drinks.....

Tomorrow will be a decent day. If by decent day i mean im going to bomb kollas shack since im gonna get my ECT 300 exam back. Lets see how shitty i did on that....wooo. Then more interviews at night, then hopefully to see katie, since she can make my day better by just looking at me. Sorry to get mushy, but its true. Ive never met someone who could do this to me....
Baghdad is free, iraqis are free, war is winding down. Heres to finding saddam, finding WMD and making this whole ugly thing going away. I sure hope that this sprouts good democracy in that area of the world. It would be nice if that part of the world would for once be a decent place for the people who want to live there, rather then radical extremists.
AiiiiiIiiIIiiIIIIIIiiiIIIiIIiIIIight....im goin to bed. Id like to work on my imovie project a bit, but im damn tired, and know i will be when i get up too.....I NEED TO GO TO BED EARLIER!!! ;-)

Well, i orginally posted a what homestar runner character are you thing....but it didnt work right, oh well.
Im very dissapointed, no new strongbad email today. Theres something there, but no email...im wondering what the boys over at hr.com have goin on....
I was in a pretty sour mood today, just because im tired of feeling that noone is happy for katie and i. All i hear is people talking shit about me, etc...its just really gotten on my nerves. Granted, i dont care what people have to say about me, but at the same time, id like people to be happy that we are happy. For whatever reason, people think this is this huge scandalous thing that we are dating. Whatever. Just whatever. Im tired of people being generally assholes. Im ending this rant now, because i should be happy because katie makes me so incredibly happy, but other people have to interfere lately. Meh.
Full night of interviews, and a full day of classes and work....so another 15 hour day and i have an ECT exam tomorrow for kolla...yah, cause thats going to go well.
Hope you all had a good day, im just waiting for katie to come over now, its been a stressfull day and itll be nice to talk it out with someone.
Good night.

Wow....i gotta tell you guys, i didnt think anyone really read this garbage...untill i didnt keep up on entries. then everyone and their mom started getting on my case about updating. Well, heres why.
Like i said in the other entries, ive been doing tons and tons of interviews. Were talking 6-10pm every night of the week except friday and weekends. On top of that, working my normal hours, working at ITS and class, ive been pushing myself to the limit. I dont know why i keep pushing for things that only push back, but i guess to me its becoming a way to pay for things. It gets to a point where i can only care as much as it takes to do a good job. I used to pour 100% of myself into any job or organization i was in and lately i just dont feel like i get anything in return. I work my ass off for nothing. Its one thing to be a hardworking employee and a hardworking employee who cares. Im starting to understand why some people just stop caring. Oh well.
Besides work, ive been busting ass with schoolwork too. Friday was nice just to work at ITS. Talking to chad and all the nice ladies over there always helps me calm down. Its such a grown up place to work. Had a good time working with jessie too, she always brings a smile to my face. After work, though, the fun began :)
I went and picked up katie, we went to the olive garden for dinner and had a nice time just the 2 of us out alone. Its so nice to finally have found someone who is on the same level with me and who is just a damn pleasure to be around. There hasnt been a time where ive been around her and i havent been the happiest ive been in a long time. I know this may sound like mushy bullshit, but its all true. For those of you who have known my relationship issues in the past, you could understand when i thought i may not find anyone like this again. Not that they didnt exist, but that i wouldnt be able to open up to someone. Anyways, i digress on that. After dinner, we trekked through the rain to the maumee theatres and went to see phone booth. It was a pretty good movie, and it had some good previews. After that, we came back to my place, watched jurassic park and fell asleep. I couldnt have asked for a more perfect night. *sigh*
Saturday was nice. I finally slept in and caught up on some MEAN sleep ive been missing out on since ive been working so goddamn much. I had breakfast with Mo and Sloka, had to leave early because of family drama, then i went home and I messed with my computers a bit, trying to get samba/rendevous to work better, or not to work better, to get ME to work better to understand HOW they work...then katie came over. I battled the laundry monster, got pissed at my KDS POS monitor because it just up and died....which i am NOT happy about at all. Spent the rest of the night having dinner, watching some movies, going over to CH 45 to do the normal hang out and drink thing, then staying up till all hours talking about important things. What a night.
Today, same thing. Catching up on sleep. I finally made the leap to use my G4 as my primary desktop machine. Ive come to the conclusion that in my experience(and with computers, that is fairly significant) that pc's are just better for gaming. And by gaming, its only because that there are more out there. High power graphics capability on macs only will boost gaming in the future. Am i using a G4 400 MHZ? Is it more reliable running OS X then my PEE CEE running windoze Xp anyday? Eric and i had a moment at our meeting tonight where we bitched about how faulty XP is anymore. It just drives me nuts how everyone is so brainwashed to how great PCs and Windows is. Ugh. Oh well, im not going to ever give my PC up because in my field i need to be able to use it...but if i had 2 grand to spend, Id be running to www.apple.com faster then you could say quicksilver.
I was supposed to have an ECT 300 study group tonite, but it had to be cancelled cause of some people being out of town. Should i go study for it now? Yes. Will i get anything out of it? No. So im gonna study with peeps tomorrow inbetween classes. Hope you all had a good weekend. I wouldnt expect alot of blogging this week...interviews will own me.....
*****************************************
Positive: What a great weekend. Katie makes me happy :)
Negative: Weekend WAY too short...that and stupid daylight savings time....I WANT MY HOUR BACK.

So, i know ive been alittle slow on posting the past few days, the thing is that ive just been super swamped. Work has been murder, doing interviews every night from 6-10 which has been resulting in 14-15 hour days. Sure, im making money...but as someone at ITS called me today, im a "walking zombie". At least ive been able to find an hour or two a night to see katie, who has been INSTRUMENTAL lately in keeping brian sane. Even if its just a trip to meijer to get her Dance Marathon pictures, or to go with her for a bit to keep her company at the life science building while she develops her pictures for her portfolio....it just is nice and LARGELY decreases my stress level.
So, i have an exam in kollas ECT 453 class today. For ONCE in my life, i finally feel somewhat ready for a kolla exam. Have i been able to study for it as much as i needed, but i kind of understand all the calculus bullshit that we do in there, even if i havent taken calc and im avoiding it like the plague....even if it means i take a 1 credit hour penalty for taking it this summer...
More interviews tonight, wooo. Tomorrow will be nice just to have a relaxing day working at ITS. Thats right, blog readers, i think of relaxing days as days where i work at ITS. What the hell is wrong with me?
This weekend is shaping up to be some fun. Looks like there is going to be some kind of get together with sloka, wilson, katie, al, mo, red, et al on friday, could be a good time, then hopefully katie and i can go on our first "date" even though we will have been "dating" for almost 2 weeks by then. I dont know about the titles in relationships, im a boy, OK? I fix things, talk about sports and buy her flowers. I leave the titles up to her.
Hope all of you have a good day. Hopefully ill post soon.

Wow...i know ive been saying that alot lately, but damn. Things have been so good lately, and some things have been so bad. Its wierd when you actually long for the ho hums of boredom to come around, because you wont ever be suprised. Oh well.
Monday monday monday. What a day. Classes all day, but the day i have been waiting for since i was born has come. I got to go to see "An Acoustic Evening With Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds". Had a fun drive there, had some Skyline for dinner, then got in line. I took my digimatal camera to get pictures for all you folks, and because i heard on www.anyoneseenthebridge.com that people werent getting searched for cameras. I figured, why not take advantadge. We got to the front of the line around 7, show started at 730. Then we get inside...and everyone is practically being strip searched. Metal detectors like in prisons, wands, latex gloves, the whole shebang. So....im like, well....what should i do...and i watched some people get through with cameras, albiet smaller ones, so i figured i was g money(bling bling). At any rate, gary and tiff go through, i see the dude in front of me go through with a camera in his pants over his junk, blamed it on his belt buckle(that one is for you, e.schrades) and i laughed. So i put my cell, pager, keys, wallet, headset, and camera in the basket, figuring they wouldnt see it with the pile of shit i put in there. So, the little j. crew ween who was in charge of the door i was going through, rifled through my stuff, and made a HUGE production about me having a camera. So i said, fine. What do i do? His answer?
Take it out to your car and come back through the line. Now, the line mind you had now circled around the arena. I about spazzed. So, sloka and i trek out there, put it in my car and then wait in line. 715. comes. 720. 730, and we are still nowhere close to the doors. Then, SOMEHOW, 2 more sets of doors open, and aroun d 5,000 angry college students bumrush the arena. So sloka and i try not to get slaughtered by the stampede, end up getting in...WITHOUT GETTING SEARCHED. Grarr. Oh well. Sloka got to our seats and got ready for the wildest concert ive ever seen. Heres the setlist for you guys. Hardcore DMB fans will get why it was so wild.

I cant believe i was there to see the first blue water since 1997. It was so amazing to see a show like this that will probably never happen again. Sloka and i had the best time, and out of 10 DMB shows, this is BY FAR the best one ive been to. The set, the energy, al;skdhf;lakds. So good. Long drive home after that, then to bed.
This morning, fun with meetings again. I got to spend way too much time sitting through and sorting through applications for RCC. Mike, nathan, mark and i ended not going to the senior staff meeting because we needed to get these going. Im starting to get very annoyed with how everything is a huge issue, everything is last minute, everything has to be done now, now, now. I attribute it to poor planning. We have plans in place, then we suddenly have to up and change it at the last minute. Also, getting screamed and swore at is always something that motivates staff, especially when the staff was trying to assist in what the supervisor wanted. Professionalism should have a major part in jobs like this, even if it is a university job. It drives me nuts that people can act this way and its just accepted. Im pretty fired up about this, and it makes me wonder why i work so hard for some things sometimes.
More class this afternoon. Kolla, just something else im looking forward to making my day oh so much better. Then BACK to RCC when i find out i may have to do said interviews tonight. Great. However, katie and i are going to see Sister Hazel later this month and Pat McGee Band is coming to BGSU later this month too, thats gonna be AWESOME. I cant wait.
Oh yah, and according to my degree audit......all of my stipulations for graduation are completed. If by completed they mean almost 44 hours are in progress....(aka this semester and summer semester) But still pretty cool to have it tell me to apply for graduation. Hmmmm...the real world, here i come.
Hope all is well, and jesus, what happened on everyones chatterbox/tagboard last night?

Well kids....its been a while. But a fitting weekend to a very strange week.
I havent posted much about the recent situations ive been going through. Id say the situations with katie, but thats nowhere even close. Its more the situations with everyone else. I dont know why, it just seems that everyone feels they have some stake in this and wants to voice that opinion. Thats fine, but....meh. I dont know, its a fine line between opinion and acting like they know how to run my or katies life better then we do. Anyways, i digress...
Friday. Slow day at work, but the weather was goddamn beautiful. The whole day it was like 70 and sunny. My sister was coming up to visit with the grandparents, so max, cari and i went out to bw3 with them and had a good time. Of course, then it turned 40 and rainy. Id LOVE to have a talk with whoever is in charge of the weather around here. Anyways, it was really nice to see my sister and her husband, take them out for a bit and talk to them about whats going on in their lives. It sucks that i live so far from my family sometimes, sometimes its DEFINATELY a bonus.
Went home after that, watched terminator 2 with max and cari(even though cari hated it with a passion) and just kind of paced around the apartment. Friday was the Phi Mu Alpha formal, and i could have gone, but a. had no date, b. had to be on call for work and c. my sister was coming into town. So, katie went with Sloka and had a good time. I got to see her in her dress, she stopped by after the formal just so i could see. :) After that, we talked for a long time. Its just nice to talk to her.
Saturday i slept in like its my job, then got up, did the normal wags thing, hung out with katie for a bit in the afternoon, then got another call from someone extremely suprising....mandy. Went to dinner with her, had another heart to heart, talked about katie, who strangely enough is mandy's little in SAI, and generally had some good discussion. Sloka told me some people were coming over to hang/drink at CH 45, so mandy and i trucked over there. Had a good time, went to meijer for some crazy sloka and wags fun, made some drinks(WHO DRINKS WHITE RUSSIANS?) and headed down to kristin mcdonalds apartment for her party. Major fun ensued....
So, yeah. Good times were had by all. Got to see katie again last night and talk to her some more. Sounds like she had a good time.
So, in other words, it looks like things are really going strongly well for me in every area for the first time in about 2 years. Things are so different for me in so many areas, its hard to describe. Ive hit some pretty important times lately, and some pretty important decisions. Not blaming people for things we did as children, acting more like an adult in every aspect, just other things. Ive spent so much time stuck on problems from 2 years ago that i dont focus on the good things of today. Sure its not really that easy, but life goes on. Things change. Take what you can now, grasp it whole heartedly...it does you no good to think of what was.
Thats my pithy statement of the day. Im gonna go shower, hit the grocery store so i dont have to eat bobbins.
Have a good sunday, yall.

hey everyone, just got my work done, and i got some time to kill...so i think ill post here to yall.
Its been a good past couple of days. Katie and I are dating, and this is a very good thing. There has been alot of drama about it, although all the drama is with others. Through all of it, its just made us closer, id venture to say. I could go on and on and on about it, but it can be summed up in 3 words.
Wags is happy.
Ill leave that whole thing at that. Everything else has been going well lately. I dont know if its because ive been so happy about that, or if ive just got a new attitude on everything, but im dealing with all the stress out there alot better. Class is getting pretty stressful, work is going crazy and so are family things. Im just glad i have something keeping me going through all of this craziness.
I added a link for my schedule that i can post and publish through iCal. Pretty damn slick if you ask me. Check it out...in case you wanna know where wags is at any random moment of the day.
Got a nice relaxing weekend coming up....if by relaxing i mean, lots of work, studying for 2 exams, doing tons of homework. I WILL spend time with katie though, dammit. :-D
Hope all is well with you all out there in blogger world. Leave some love on the chatterbox.

I am totally stuck on this song lately, definately need to check this album out, yall. Sister Hazel - Chasing Daylight, this song is called Everybody...
You are so sexy my love
You got me trippin' over my tongue
And I can't say what I mean but I mean it when I say
That I fell so hard for you that it broke my heart in two
Now I'm wrapped in black and blue
You know I'm crazy 'bout you
Should I take a chance
Or should I sit and wonder you
I wanna tell everybody - everybody
That you're so much more
Than they've ever seen before
I wanna tell everybody - everybody
If they touched your hand
Then they'd never wanna let you go
Like a junkie to a rush
I'd trade my momma for your touch
Oh wait that might just be too much
Well I'd do anything but that
You are so tempting my dear
You strip away my useless fears
No you don't care that I'm weird
And that's amazing
As you walk on by
Oh I - I sit and wonder you
Spinning around like nobody's watching
Nobody else but me
So far beyond my imagination
If they could only see
You are so sexy my love
You got me trippin' over my tongue
And I can't say what I mean but I mean it when I say
That I fell so hard for you that it broke my heart in two
Now I'm wrapped in black and blue
You know I'm crazy 'bout you
Should I take a chance
Or should I sit and wonder you
I wanna tell everybody - everybody
That you're so much more
Than they've ever seen before
I wanna tell everybody - everybody
If they touched your hand
Then they'd never wanna let you go
Like a junkie to a rush
I'd trade my momma for your touch
Oh wait that might just be too much
Well I'd do anything but that
You are so tempting my dear
You strip away my useless fears
No you don't care that I'm weird
And that's amazing
As you walk on by
Oh I - I sit and wonder you
Spinning around like nobody's watching
Nobody else but me
So far beyond my imagination
If they could only see
Well hello everyone....
Hope you all like the new changes to my blog. Ive added a few more links on the side, changed some formatting, etc. Trying out some new stuff.
One of the links i added was for http://dear_raed.blogspot.com, check that out, its pretty creepy. A person living in baghdad who is showing the accounts of the war. Wow.
Had some long ass meetings this morning, ended up finding out some might be cancelled and combined. Wow would that make my day if i could do that. The shear idea that i could sleep in one morning. Wowza. I got a call walking over to our meeting from katie. :-) She asked me when we had dinner last night...i was kinda confused untill she said she needed to know because she couldnt eat for a certain amount of hours cause she found out she had to have blood work done. Hmmm...blood work. It sure was good to hear from her, though.
Headed over to ECT stuff with dr. kolla. Ended up rob got our lab done before i even got there, so i didnt have anything to do untill lab started, which kolla told us "lets get this thing over with". I just kind of laughed and rolled my eyes. Thats a great way to spark students to learn. Oh well. I spent the time inbetween ECT classes to work on the updates for the site, then got a call from katie again. She had to get her blood work done then, so i told her id drive her to wood county. They botched up my blood work something fierce so i wanted to make sure she was ok and didnt have to drive back all woozy. Took her over, got it done pretty quick, got her back all safe and sound. Didnt go to my 2nd ECT class, overla took notes for me, thank god. Headed to the gas station to get gas since katie told me i was "playing the gas game" then got a new chicken ceaser salad from mcdonalds and headed to work for a few hours.
Hmmm....tonight. Yeah. More on that on a later date.
Off to bed everyone. Hope all of you are having as good of a week as i am. Things are just great for me lately. Better mood, better outlook, better feelings on life, just better in general. I know it could just be temporary....but damn, wags is in a great mood.
Night all...and sweet dreams.

Fun times with overla in classes today. Screwing off, but getting tons of work done. Ive been in such a gosh darn good mood latley, i cant help myself.
I definately had some lady call me on the on call phone for RCC to report a problem when i wasnt on call, then got PISSED that i told her that i was going to transfer her issue to someone who could deal with it faster so she hung up on me.
Tonight. What a night, thats all im gonna say about that.
