2009 — It’s Over

Nathan — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 04:59:11 +0000

I ended last year, hoping this one would be better with work, relationships, and in general. I’m pretty sure looking back on it, other than work this last year was worse. Relationships were crazy and overall not good for anyone. In general it had some good things and a lot bad things. I can say for sure it won’t be a year I’m likely to forget.

List of things that happen this year:

Saw at least 16 movies in the theater.
A very close family member passed away.
Went to see Dave Anderson a bunch.
Mog and I had 6 Holiday Parties in one day.
Found out RedBox is great.
Got two cakes made for my birthday!
Had a couple crazy “things” with chicks.
Found pictures of me from high school.
One of the first to discover the re-birth of Soul Burger.
Went to Israel for a week and NYC for a couple hours.
Saw Marcy Playground twice in one year.
Went to Hawaii for a week.
Went to Wisconsin for a week over Christmas.
Helped Makers Local 256 grow and seceded as a hackerspace.

In the end, I hope this year is better. Lets hope relationships arn’t as crazy as last year, and that all around it gets better.

Cheers!

2008 – It’s Over

With less than 24hrs to go, I think we can call this year done. I have officially not eaten Doritos for an entire year. It really wasn’t that hard, you know after the first few weeks. I really do miss Doritos and Pop Tarts for breakfast on lazy Sunday mornings (don’t judge me, its good). Lets see what else has gone on.

Hit up the beach for one weekend. That was nice.
Kissed chicks I probably shouldn’t have.
Helped Makers Local set up shop.
Started Geocaching.
Bought Fapp.com Fakepedia.info nottwitter.com and probably many more domains.
Seen at least 23 movies in the theater.
Went on a little Hot Air Balloon Ride.
Started using Twitter….a lot
Went to the Air Show in HSV
Went to WI for the 4th of July and my Birthday
Starting feeling old.
Saw the Presidents of the USA in concert.
Went to my first drive in movie ever.
Figure out some chicks aren’t very nice.

Already next year is suppose to bring on a new job at work with better pay. Here is to hoping next year is better than this one, with relationships, new pay, and an overall better feeling.

Happy New Year!!!
drink one for me.

No Doritos – Day 18

Nathan — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 15:54:22 +0000

For a New Years resolution I decided to stop eating Doritos. Most of the time after eating Doritos my stomach gets sick. I know probably more information than you needed but hey I need to make my point, or else it would sound like I’ve been secretly addicted to Doritos and I’m taking pictures of the chips I crave so badly. See thats not it at all, I just have stopped eating Doritos because they make me sick. So this picture was taken at a Sub Way where I could have eaten the chips, but instead took a picture of the food I have craved for so long. I don’t think I can keep this up for ever, today day 22 I don’t see an end in sight. I’ll keep you updated when I run into the food I no longer eat. Till then I hope your New Years Resolutions have gone as well as mine.

Christmas and New Years

Nathan — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 16:18:32 +0000

This is the first Holiday Season in a few years that I haven’t had girlfriend to spend it with and it was pretty weird. Many nights I fell asleep thinking of old girlfriends and weird things like that. So today I was fairly happy to go back to work and move on with the new year. But I thought I had better take a look back on the Christmas Holiday anyways.

I was off work since the 22nd. Most of the time was spend just sitting around the house being lazy. Although I did get a few things done as well a a few presents.

Made the first version of JimBot, and IRC bot.
Put all my DVD’s in a spread sheet, with IMDB links.
Got new tires on my car
Figured out how to share my Airport card with my XBox.
Got a few shirts for Christmas
Also got money, which will be used for school.
Played with Wiimote White Board and head tracking.
Started using KeePass for storing all my passwords. Its cross platform.

Mostly I just spend the time off being lazy. It was great, but I am happy to be back to normal life.

Happy New Year!!!!!

Well goodbye 2005, and hello 2006. Can you believe that a decade ago it was 1996. Wow, that’s all I can say. Lets take a look at what happen in 2005.

July 5 – Dolly the sheep, the first mammal to be successfully cloned from an adult cell, is born. It will prematurely die in February 2003. (I remember seeing this on the cover of “People”)
July 17 – Off the coast of Long Island, New York, a Paris-bound Boeing 747 carrying TWA flight 800 explodes killing all 230 on board. (I remember watching this when ABC broke into regular broadcasting and had a live feed)
Duke Nukem 3D Shareware released to public (great game)

Those are some of the things I found on Wikipedia. Its just hard to believe that I can remember what happen a decade ago. I hope you all have a great New Year and hope last night was fun and safe for everyone.

Now I know what happen to my presents.

Nathan — Sat, 31 Dec 2005 01:27:00 +0000

Well know I know what happen to all my presents. We need to work together and find this asshole, cause I’m sure that some of you out there didn’t get your presents either. Ok so I’m just joking, I actally got good presents. Cellphone(vx9800), Leather Jacket, Movies, Sunglasses, there was probably more but I can’t remember. Well I hope everyone else had a good Christmas, and will have a Happy New Year.

Stay Safe
Nathan

Happy Holidays?!?!?!?!?!?

Nathan — Tue, 06 Dec 2005 23:10:03 +0000

Happy Holidays Everyone, (and Marry Christmas), does that seem right? Or should I stick with Marry Christmas and say fuck off to all the other holidays that fall between Thanksgiving and New Years. I mean who the fuck cares about Boxing Day (December 26), Festivus (December 23), Hanukkah (26 Kislev – 2/3 Tevet almost always in December), and Kwanzaa (26 December – 1 January), the Christians only care about the one big day Christmas (December 25). Is that how we are supposed to think? What really gets me, are the people that support or efforts in Iraqi, but say its not the Holiday Season, its Christmas. Now that’s just plain hypocritical. We loose troops in Iraqi everyday so that those people have the same rights that we do. But here in the states we say fuck their ideas on God and Religion, it’s fucking Christmas…..That is just fucked up. Come on people we are not the only ones in the world, there are others, and so the fuck what if all the stores are just selling Christmas things, that doesn’t mean that there is not some Jewish kid looking for some Jewish things to buy. Come on people we need to learn to live together, this is the Holiday Season, no matter how you look at it, and yes to the Christians its Christmas, but to others it’s not.

In other news I pissed on my pants yesterday. Noticed I said “pissed on my pants”, Ok so here is what happen. I was sitting on the toilet taking a crap, minding my own business, on the second floor of the library where no one goes. You know how every time you crap you have to piss. Well the same thing happen to me yesterday, except some of some piss got stuck in the tube. I know its weird and I may be the only one that this happens to, or maybe it was just how I was sitting. Anyway, so when I went to reach around and wipe, the piss shot out, I mean like a stream shot out. This was not good. The area in which the piss landed was the back of my pants. Ok this was not good either because now if someone would look at my ass, it looked as though my ass crack had sweated. How disgusting is that. As I said I believe it was just the way I was sitting, I was kind of leaned forward. Another factor is it was cold, so maybe the shrinkage caused this. I don’t know, whatever it was that was the first time that had ever happen.

Happy Holidays
Nathan
