so for the second straight day, i've woken up at 8am and haven't been able to fall back asleep. i thought yesterday was a fluke, but now i'm getting really worried. today, i turned on espn around 8:30, listened to a bit of sportscenter, and then i just got up and went downstairs to test out a dvd on my new television. (it's beautiful, by the way. :) then, i just went to work at 9:30. it was cool, though, because when i sat down in my cube, within a few minutes, i got like 3 IM's. i love chatting!
so yeah, my tv arrived. the delivery guy gave me a window of 5-8pm, and he finally came around 6:30. he helped me set it up and wire the devices (cable, vcr, dvd) and stuff, so i tipped him $10. (do you normally tip? it was a "white glove" service.) now, i'm going to test out an HD antenna (all i really care about is football) and buy an expensive surge protector/power strip.
so now that i go to work early, i'm justified in leaving early, too. but what am i going to do with all this newly found time? i don't want to just go home and watch tv, and there's not even good stuff to watch anyways. hm. *ponder* man, if only i could sleep in more. i know, alan would tell me to go to the gym and get buff or something, heehee.
oh, speaking of alan and ting, jay IM'ed me today, and we chatted for like 40+ minutes. he asked me some stuff about those two, as he was gathering some facts about them for his best man's speech. i got curious and dug into my old geocities journal, and i found out the date when alan and ting first met: april 13th, 2002. man, that was a long time ago. i'm big on dates, for example, i still remember when k2 and i broke up (january 20th, 2000), stuff like that. but anyways, i found a picture that was taken the day a&t first met, and i forwarded it to them for their slide show. ah, first encounters and stuff like that. that shit makes me all emotional.
remembering dates and things like that goes along with my penchant for documenting things. i mean, that's why i keep a journal/blog. one of the biggest reasons why i document is so i don't forget what happened in my life. one big failure, though, is taking pictures. i haven't taken a picture in like years, and i think i should start doing that again. i've been really lazy (heh, that's an understatement) in photographing outings and stuff, so maybe i should make a resolution to at least bring my camera to a&t's upcoming wedding. i guess the thing is, with the bowling gang, there are so many camera buffs that i don't really *need* to take pictures, because the other guys do such a good job of that already.
so i made a big deal about cheryl's eyebrows. she got them threaded before the wedding, and i noticed them instantly when i saw her the weekend prior to the big event. those of you who know me know that i have many fetishes. they include: eyebrows, eyeglasses, short hair, and black stack heeled penny loafers. you can even throw in tall girls, 5-letter names, and names that start with "k". man, if i ever find a girl who fits all of these descriptions, then i'm gonna pursue her with all of my fucking might, haha. :)
have you ever "stolen" a girl? meaning, pursued a girl when she was going out with someone else? i did that once, and it was with k2. when i first started correspondence with her and meeting up with her for our midnight smoking sessions (i was the one who taught her how to smoke), i had no idea she was sort of dating this other dude. but then, she told me that she was seeing this guy B. i even remember asking her if they had kissed, and she said yes. i distinctly felt my heart sink and had this thought of "what the fuck are you doing with me then?" going through my head. but we still met up, and for whatever reason, the topic of B never came up again, and k2 and i just eventually hooked up. weird, huh? B's friends all hated me after that, of course. so i guess the lesson here is to never give up, hehe. but then again, karma might just come and bite you in the ass.
oh, and one last thing: i got a google phrase today: "safeway women with huge melons." uh... they're talking about breasts? or fruit?
ok. i think it's time to finish up my can of dr pepper and go home.
