Hello once again. I'm back with some random thoughts on stuff, though
like the title states, they may be quickie blurbs compared to my
sometimes long and tedious excerpts from random thoughts past. In any
case, enjoy.
- Today is the two year anniversary of my becoming a
Christian and giving my life to Jesus Christ. An important day for me,
to say the least.
- This year it is also President's Day.
Isn't it nice that we now have a worthy U.S. president after eight years
of a crummy one?
- The areas where I have no updates for:
those specific issues yet again, the potential new club, and my job
prospects (though with the stimulus about to be signed tomorrow, my
chances for permanent work will hopefully strengthen).
- Why do I
keep bringing up the "specific issues" stuff even though I don't talk
about it here? Well, it's not so much to keep reminding everybody else
about it. It's simply a way for me to keep my focus on what I'm doing
now, to not forget about it once I've got this stuff resolved, and to
have a reminder of it whenever I look through my blogs in the future. I
apologize if it bugs some of you that I keep bringing this stuff up
without talking more about it, but I'm doing this more for me than
anything else.
- Last Saturday night wasn't as good at the OC as
previous outings had been. It was a bit too thuggish for my tastes. I
think Valentine's Day had something to do with it and, dating/women
issues aside (that's right, I'm still single), I rarely have good luck
on that day anyway.
- As I told one of my friends recently, it
seems like the crowd has been changing every weekend at the OC for the
past couple of months. One weekend there were tons of hot women there,
another was like bridal shower night, last weekend the thuggish stuff,
and yet another it was old school dancing night. Sure there are us
regulars and Tommy D spinning great as usual, but it's like theme night
at the OC. In all my time clubbing I've never seen a phenomenon like
this without advertising...it just happens. I don't know how long it's
going to last, but it's been interesting there to say the least.
- I have to admit, last Saturday's NBA Slam Dunk contest was fun to
watch for the first time in years. It had me laughing out loud a few
times as some of the stuff going on. And Shaq getting down with the
Jabbawockees before the All-Star Game? I loved that.
- I have
updated my Myspace music playlist. For right now I'm removing the Chris
Brown stuff as my way of protesting violence against women. I have
added new songs.
- I'm still getting used to Linux on my
computer. I found the right movie/video player for me, but there's
still things I need to find that work for my tastes.
- Song on repeat: Sexy Lady by Yung Berg. Good song, nice and smooth danceable beat.
- Here's a new feature I'm testing for the blog: Shoutouts, Love, and
Props, for people I talked to, people I want to remember, and those who
kept in contact with me in between "random thoughts" blogs. It may be
all-inclusive, it may not...it'll be the people I remember at the time I
write a particular blog, so if you're not mentioned don't be offended
because I do my random thoughts from memory for the most part and I
value all my friends anyway...it's a way of giving, well, shoutouts,
love and props to those important to me and not forget those who help
make me better. I may not put in people I keep in regular contact with
because they'll get that respect regularly anyway...or I might,
depending on what's going on in my blog, maybe as an extra thank you or
something like that. I'm calling it "SLP" for short and future
reference...might be something for some of you to take up too. I'm
starting it in the next blurb.
- SLP to the following this time around: Ernest, Daryl, Eldina, Tatjana, Marilena, Jay, Carlo, Dani and Tommy D.
Okay,
so some of the blurbs weren't really quickies, but I hope you enjoyed
them anyway. Until next time, when I hope to have all the world's
problems solved...NOT (I'm leaving that to Jesus). Take care and God
Bless.
