it's just me and the blogspot webserver and i'm not even sure it's paying attention.

last day of work before holidays. i'm going out to vancouver island with my roommate, his brother and another friend for some spiritual rejuvenation and maybe some scuba diving among other things. i should be back to work on aug 9th.

just thought you'd all like to know that my car is still at the shop... woe is me.

well we didn't end up going skydiving since the weather didn't look very good. just as well. the headline on one of the local papers this morning: "Outrage follows fatality". the article is about a person who was killed on saturday during his first skydive. it could have been me. a warning perhaps?

hah, my web stats reveal i'm in no danger of getting an oversized ego anytime soon. i'm not popular (small wonder).

my roommate, a friend and i are going skydiving tomorrow (weather permitting). so if you never hear from me again...

why did i just post that? it's not like anyone is going to care. such a waste of good electrons...

dropped my car off at a repair shop last night. waiting to hear the diagnosis.

could i rewind three days into the past and redo everything? sometimes life could really use a rewind button.

well...i was supposed to be leaving town this morning. my car however, thought differently. a few blocks from home it starts making an awful squawking noise. i pulled over, opened the hood and discovered the noise appears to be emanating from the engine (not something as simple as a bearing which i had hoped.) anyhow i limped home with the car and here i am. i don't want to contemplate how much it will cost to fix. cars are a liability, not an asset.

argh...i left my keys at work. i didn't discover this until i reached into my pocket to retrieve the key for the apartment door. luckily there was still a geek at work when i got back there to let me in. i'm a mudhead as my grandpa would say. hardly a good start to the weekend.

this is extremely amusing and ironic in so many ways. can you imagine meeting the supposed person of your dreams only to discover that this person is your own spouse whom you're cheating on? some people really are just meant for deserve each other.

why is it that i'm not attracted to the girls that seem to be attracted to me? why is it that the girls i'm attracted to are never attracted to me?

ok so i tweaked one of the winning entries from the blogger template design contest. it looks ok under both ie5.5 and moz6. i was bored.

i am just a spare part. a backup plan. the one that gets called only if the first call went unanswered. i am the third in a party of three. the one that makes it a crowd. i wish it was not so but i am just me. i am too quiet. i am too boring. now i am depressed.

had a great long weekend. went out to kelowna with a few friends. played a lot of beach volleyball. hung out at the beach. watched fireworks. got sunburned. it was fun.
