  • Random Blurbs

    Fail? Win? Random?

    I don't know what it is, but it seems like when ever I make plans with
    people, plans NEVER go through. Lately I've been setting myself up for
    failure, saturday was the worst; I made plans with 3 different people
    and they all fell through. Uber fail. There must be something in the
    air or maybe it's the change in the weather? People have been acting
    really "blah" lately, like those who usually talk to me are not talking
    to me, ignoring me or just avoiding me at all costs. I wonder if it's
    something I did, or did I step in crap or something? Wait It can't be,
    I wear a different pair of shoes everyday I dont know, people are just
    blah. So I guess I'll stop making plans with people to avoid getting
    canceled on again, for now I'll just go about with my plans. I'd rather
    not waste my time again.

    where did my lunch go?

    So I left the house this morning with this weird feeling that I forgot
    something. I thought things over in my head on my way to work:

    • Locked the doors
    • Shut off the lights
    • Shut off the heater
    • Shut off the coffee maker
    Nothing
    major I could think of so I continued on, walked into the office, sat
    at my desk and continued to work on my assigned projects. So just
    before lunch, Kevin called a company meeting and thats when It hit
    me... I left my damn lunch on the kitchen counter. Great.
    ...Fail.


    Bills!!!! And more plans to kick off 2009
    Wow the holiday aftermath! I just checked my credit card statement and
    I spent 1000 dollars on myself in the last 2 weeks! ... I guess I
    spoiled myself rotten ... must refrain from buying stuff.
    Although,
    it does feel good to finally have a radio for the car that my iPod can
    actually be attached to. GOOD BYE CDS! ... HD radio is freaking awesome
    too!

    So I went to check my bank account earlier and I just
    realized I've been doing a good job at saving lately. Glad to see more
    zeros after a positive whole number/series of whole numbers in that
    account than minus signs. I was not hesitant to actually send 1000
    bucks off to the credit card company. I really should try to lock up
    the card somewhere to attempt and try to dig my ass out of debt.
    (stupid ex-girlfriends sent me there)

    Money is tight though, I
    still feel it. My friends keep saying Im ballin', I beg to differ, Im
    still in debt after my last relationship so Im definately NOT ballin'.
    If I was I would not be here typing this random blog, I would be out
    somewhere tropical. Anyway, there are so many cool things I want and
    cool places I want to go but money is still an issue. This month is
    really going to be a busy month for me, lets see how I can manage my
    budget.

    SO this weekend Im planning to head up to vegas for the
    consumer electronics show. This is going to take some careful planning
    and budgeting. Im actually planning to fly up there this time:
    From
    LB to LV, a round trip ticket is about 140 bucks. If I were to drive up
    there: the cost is the same in gas. Since I work full time , I have to
    find a way to maximize my stay in sin city:

    • fly up after work on friday (2 hours) go check in at a hotel by 10pm
    • call friends and roll ViP to the clubs they DJ at 12am - 6am
    • nap for an hour and pound 2 redbulls, head to CES at the convention center
    • maybe check out the AV convension in the other exhibition hall LOL.
    • Clubbing again, pound 2 more redbulls
    • CES last day
    • fly out of vegas at 5pm, be home by 8pm and knock out, head to work the next day.

    so
    where am I gonna stay? Prob my friend's houses or cousin's house .. $$
    saved. ViP for free ... $$$ saved, drinks are free , $$$ saved. I prob
    will only spend money on the plane tix and entrance to CES. well see...
    plans are tentative.

    The weekend after CES I will be attending
    the NAMM 2009 show in Anaheim. This year I'll be rolling with my
    friend's company and then walking around and shooting the shizz with my
    fellow programmers at Serato Audio Research and buying the RANE
    corporation homies a round of drinks. I'll be on the hunt for those
    free tickets to the shows. Last year stevie wonder came out on stage.
    Hmm I wonder what other celebrities I will meet this year. Last year I
    met: Taylor Swift, Billy Douche Bag Corgan from smashing pumpkins, Jr.
    Sanchez, Kenny G, Stevie Wonder, Shiny Toy Guns (I had No Idea steve
    went to High school with the drummer, Chill guys!), Kill switch engage
    (drunk mofos! lol cool guys also) and EverClear. Im really looking
    forward to this year. Who knows who I will run into and what other cool
    goodies I'll snatch up this year =)

    Oh and yea, I kicked it into high gear, those who wanted to make plans with me, you guys missed your chance... Now Im busy!
