Too Lazy even to Blog.

Dear Me,

How have you been. It seems like it's been awhile. I'm bored now so I felt obligated to up date this Blog. (or more like bllllooooogggg...) Yep. Bored already. Newness has done and left. Plus I've been checking out some other blogs and they are pretty good. Nice design, layout, some even have half way decent things to write about.

Makes me wonder if people are more apt to do something out of their comfort zone just so they can write about it. So in keeping with the joneses... I just up and left to go make some freshly brewed Tea for my Iced Tea for later. Whoa. Yep. F*k the joneses.

Kinda neat as being that it's near freezing this time in Brooklyn I can put the pitcher on the fire escape to let it cool down. I can forget to not bring it in otherwise it'd probably be too iced.

Okay, end of that adventure. I got to go and update the Ol' Homepage now. Sheesh. I'd swear these "hobbies" are more work than what they are worth. Pain in the arse if you'd axed me. I wish I'd did before I started on this little misadventure. But alas, it gives the folks back home something to see.

Like I'm sure they want to see this. the other day I was trying to get an online view of Huntington Beach (guess I'm missing the coastline) and they have a couple of cams but nothing that does it justice. Will never be as good as my memories. Makes me wish I'd took pictures as the time I get back PCH will be as developed as Hermosa or Redondo.

Okay you west coast bastiches! Soak up that 70-80 degree weather. Brooklyn has brown leaves and Fall like ambience. No endless summer here. jealous yet? Naw, didn't think so. I wouldn't be. All the statements that people use to try and demonstrate how New York or the east coast for that matter is so much better than LALA land or Crazy california doesn't really ring true to me yet. California forever (or until the big one hits).

Too Old for Teenage Angst

How do I sum up the day today? Or more like yesterday as it's 0200 EST Friday so I'm talking about Thursday. How do I sum up my thursday?

It started out well. Forecast Fox was telling me that we have a weather advisor alert (temps at 32 degrees at night) and the morning weather was something like in the 40's feeling hi 30's.

I woke up, was anticipating going to an interview for a volunteer position working at the Grace institute in new york (google it). I found it using volunteermatch.org. A pretty worthwhile site. I was figuring that this would give me practice interviewing as well as broaden my networking abilities since I know next to zilch people here in NY.

Then after that I'd go with my wife to this Shakespeare performance in Columbia (kings something or other play group) and they were to perform their rendition of the merchant of Venice.

Those were our plans for the evening. So in the morning and afternoons I'd hang out do some emailing and shopping. I even got an email from an old co-worker that up and left Los Angeles for the cloudy skies of Oregon. That was neat she emailed me. I hope she emails back as she has an interesting personality and an excellent bullshitter (see my interests). We could talk... I mean work... and converse all the same and just BS to our hearts content. The day sure went by fast. We even devised a way to pick lotto numbers (trying to beat the system) as well as figure out what we'd do with our shares of the winnings and how much better the world would be if we were in charge. Yeah, Rock and Roll in the white house, Integrity, style. All the things the whitehouse has lacked in the past. (oh, if you go to google, input failure in their search field and click the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button, it will be a blast).

Arghr. Enough tangents, were was I... Yeah, things were going swell but then all of a sudden I started to feel like crap. full of angst and doubt and self pity I guess. Gosh, I hate that. Must be part of the chemical imbalance or something. Just hit me. I don't know. ( I know in a previous post I'd swore i'd not replicate/duplicate what I'd done in my old journals, being sappy and all moody and morose but it seems I can't aviod it. sigh. At least I won't be pining after any females anymore. I read some of my old journal entries to my wife and it was embarrassing. It was like flllliiiiip...february...I met this girl...Flllliiiip...july...why do I feel this way about her....Fllllliiiiip...november...I talked to her today....Ayyyee. I'd never had thought twice about it until i re-read it. Kinda sad though. I use to write some of these women and do "romantic" types of gestures... Back then we had no email so this was paper and cards mind you... and I don't do that for my wife. when she went to school for a semester, i'd only sent her about 2-3 cards. I guess there is a object lesson here or something and I should do something nice and thoughtful for her).

ugh, another tangent. where was I?... Oh, feeling sorry for myself and self pitying. I think I'm getting over that "episode" at the moment. I guess this blogging stuff works. Better than Prozac with out the side affects! or is the effects?... I'm thinking for a medication it would be both...

So, things are well and I shouldn't be complaining. I can't lose hope. I know and believe that God is with us and if God is for us who (or is it whom?) can be again' us? Apparently in my case it seems to me who is my own worse enemy. I'll work on that one later. That sounds profound but I'm getting sleepy now so It just might me by delirium from sleep deprivation.

The short story without the tangets if you were wondering:
slowwww subway line 4-5
late to interview (615pm est) and got there at 630
interview went well
what the @#%$%^@ am I interviewing for a volunteer position for?
cold evening, pleasant walking
nice play dull in some parts and long but it was a good performance
even colder evening and tired
took subway, deviated from normal routine and waited to transfer
still waiting for transfer
got the transfer and exited to transfer again, ended up waiting
still waiting, and waiting
got the train to our stop.
If it was colder before this was really cold and walked home.
home by 1230, cooked ramen, cup broke, now typing, will take a shower and
sleep.
and rinse
and repeat.

adios...It's been therapeutic (good for me but bad reading for you.),
Vin

This is therapeutic as well, don't get to do it enough in the nyc

Interest is piqued...

Okay, this blogging has me curious and it's dragging me in like the tar pits. I was bored having no tv and all and got tired of doing the crosswords. I'd figure I should do something to personalize my "blog". So I decided to start with adding my "personal" links....

CRAP, I just realized at a certain point this 'blog' almost becomes... contrived? I had this whole speil about me wanting to learn more about Html coding and my flounderings at first until I found this web site that will give you tutorials for free and I wanted to share this (probably a scheme to sell your name).

But then I'm starting to write all this down and it just seemed like BS. Am I really that clever? or am I trying not to sound so boring? Who the hell cares. This is my bLog and in theory it's only for me anywho. So if you don't like it PISS OFF eh? Wanker. (my best british sentence). Only thing I know how to say in British. Other than boot, bum and water closet or is that lieu? I'm also getting around to see the merits of the term Dodgey. Shifty doesn't seem to cut it. Anyhow. this is for me and my exploits. Any readers that are reading should feel privileged to get a glimpse of my whacked out thinking. If you don't like it, bugger off (oh I forgot to include that one in the list above).

Anyhow use the link, i'm going to try it. Heck if I can learn HTML that would be good for about 2 seconds until it gets obsolete. Anyhow, I'm tired of ranting. I think I'll go read the previous episode of Lost or maybe see if my cousin is online for AIM. Or maybe I'll read the Gilmore Girls transcript. See what antics that crazy Lorelia is up to.

Hmmm, Lots of writing with not much said. No wonder I can't get anything done.

Adios,
Vin

That @%$#%#$ Delta Boy!

And Delta Boy say, " y'all check out my blog". So like a fool I do. then next thing you know I got one of these things too.

First time last time? who knows. Doesn't seem so bad. Now what am I suppose to do with my old paper journal or log if you will?...

I do know one thing. The last time I read my journals from 5-10 years ago i couldn't beleive I was that (use your word here). I'll try and not be so (bleh) in this log and yet keep it interesting at the same time.

Maybe I'll finally begin that writing career I'm just thinking about now? Get my big start in publishing and have articles printed in Esquire... yeah, I'd like that.

Heck, then I'll have to change my title to "that good ol' Delta Boy".

We'll see.

adios.
