Just felt like spewing a blog post.

I've been pretty relaxed the last couple of days, which is nice. Some unexpected events have, for a lack of better word, made me happy.

Went to Philly yesterday with Matt, Cliff and Meathead. We ate at this Korean barbecue where you get the meat from the buffet and then cook it on this grill in the middle of the table. It was different and neat to do something new. I say this as I eat some boxed macroroni and cheese.

Also took a bunch of pictures with the new camera. Hopefully I'll have some good ones and I'll post them later on my flickr page.

Sometimes I laugh at myself for how ego-centric all these blogs and profiles and what not might seem to someone who isn't an Internet junky. What about you non-junky? What do you think?. As well, What do you other Internet junkies think?

"Sweet Love" vs. "Bunny Sex"

Lately I've been partaking in retail therapy. I bought a new camera and some new cloths. If only it could get warm out. It is not suppose get warm anytime soon. I'd like to get outside and take some pictures with the new camera.

Yesteryday I had a conversation with two females. The conversation got to the topic of different kinds of guys. The point focusing on two different types of guys: the type of guy that you have a relationship with, the type of guy you have some kind of fling with. Their opinion was it was ideal to have qualities of both in a relationship anyway.

Sometimes I wonder if my attitude has changed lately and somehow I am sending the wrong idea to people. I'll say again I need to be more assertive, and sieze opportunity when it comes around. I also wonder if perhaps I've just run into the wrong girls lately. Perhaps it's a bit of both. I don't want the past years experiences to somehow turn me into the wrong kind of person or make me bitter.

Coping Methods

I need to look into finding some coping methods for my . . . uncomfortable state, a.k.a. being lonely. Retail therapy can only be brief. I've been getting back into working out, which is a good coping method.

Maybe I should find some video games to get addicted to; that doesn't require the weather to be warm at least. What kind of coping methods do you use?

Note: If you are reading this and have a thought about it, leave a comment. I won't think it's weird or that you're stalking me or that somehow your interest in reading someones blog contitutes some sort of strangeness.

I Need to Unplug

I was just thinking I should spend some time offline; I spend way too much time online. I am seriously thinking that I am addicted to the Internet. I am on flickr.com, deviantART.com, myspace.com, my gmail.com e-mail and this blog at the very least twice a day each.

Considering my job requires me to be online it's kind of tough to unplug. However, being that I am at work at the moment translates to me having off during the entire day today. Today being Friday since is 2:54 a.m. I am gonna try to stay offline for the rest of this St. Pattrick's Day.

Also I have only smoked two cigarettes in the last 24 hours. This has me feeling pretty anxious. It also has had me feeling a tadbit more energetic throughout the day. I am going to try to continue this lack of smoking into tomorrow. It's going to be tough to both unplug from the Internet as well as not smoke.

I also just remembered that it was a year ago today that Molly and I broke up. I have almost forgotten what it's like to have a stable relationship. Maybe sometime soon I can get back to having one of those, but until then I am not going to fret. I am going to relax. I haven't talked to Molly in a good while; I wonder how she's doing. It feels strange to remember spending nearly everyday with someone and now to barely communicate with them. I guess that's how life goes.

Anyway, I feel like I may start rambling ...

New Camera


I am stoked. I just won an auction on ebay for a new digital camera, a Canon 300D. It comes with the lens and the battery grip expansion, which lets you have two batteries at once. It will look just like the picture to the left.

One downside is I need to pick up a Compact Flash card. Any body have an extra one laying around that they could part with?

The other downside is I need to sell off my electronic drum kit to keep my debt down, but I haven't used that since I moved out of Steve's place. I've been taking a ton of pictures lately so I figure this will serve me more. Asking $500 if anyone's interested.

Going to Atlantic City

Wahoo! Waiting for Matt and Bill to get here and then we are off to Atlantic City to see Nine Inch Nails. Should be fun.

It will be nice to get the fuck out of York County and do something fun.

Sometime soon I want to take a trip to Cunningham Falls down in Maryland. Anyone who's interested in going along for that let me know.

Beating and Smashing

Last night I got a 40lb. punching bag to hang in the basement. I need to rig up a better way to hang it up. To Lowe's! I look forward to beating it daily.

As well, Jess came over last night and we smashed the shit out of an old computer I had in my basement with an aluminum baseball bat all while listening to some Pantera. Ahhh...

Musical Exposure

I've been listening to the same bands and really haven't listened to much new music for what seems like years. So the other night I procured some new music. It was good to listen to a bunch of new stuff. Anyone have any suggestions?
