Great weekend and begining of week!!

Steve — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 05:09:56 GMT

The past few days have been probably some of the most enjoyable that I have had in quite some time. I have had my little brother Dustin down since Friday evening. Our weekend consisted of paintball, being mentally challenged, laughing, watching movies, a little work, good food, good friends, good fun, a wheelchair, and a barrel of monkeys, batting cages, motorcycles, cars, and more...

I haven't never had that much one on one time with him and I will have to say he is a very well behaived kid. I think that sometimes he is misunderstood. For the most part he is cool to just chill out and be lazy, but he also likes to play hard. It was a real pleasure to have him around for five days in a row. It is kind of funny, it was said that we would probably get sick of each other in two days, but I opted to extend his stay another three days, because I enjoyed having him around.

WIRED NEXTFEST

and on the 14th day he said rest my son...

Steve — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 18:58:48 GMT

I have had a killer two weeks at work, but the hard part is now over and the rest is residual. Over the past two months I have been working hard, fast, and effectively on installing a new SQL 2005 Database Management Platform. We installed a Dell M1000E Blade Chassis with 6 M600 blades, FiberChannel HBA's, FiberChannel Pass Through cards, and etc... to start, an EMC CX3-10c FiberChannel/iSCSI SAN with 4 TeraBytes of raw storage. Our major apps now reside on SQL 2005 after working round the clock for 14 days. It is finally a day of rest. I have learned so much, but have so much to learn still. I am really excited for both myself and my employees as they have the ability to be exposed to and work with some really cool technology.

Now maybe I can get back to some what a semi normal work schedule and make some needed progress in other area's.

HMmmnnn.. I am kind of interested in going to this. I have always liked this song, but do not know much about their other music, could be interesting could not be. Wonder if it is worth the gamble? What do you think? Let me know I want to know your opinion.

Great song....

I found the mirror I want that BWW has...

Steve — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 14:53:42 GMT

WOW, and exciting discovery on a sunday morning. I have been wanting to know where BWW got this pub mirror, but couldn't find it anywhere. Low and behold Target Online is where they got it.

Another reason to love Target . As if I didn't need another.

My Dating Persona Test

Steve — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 14:42:57 GMT

The Slow Dancer

Deliberate Gentle Love Dreamer (DGLD)

Steady, reliable, and cradling her tenderly. Take a deep breath, and let it out real easy...you are The Slow Dancer

Your focus is love, not sex, and for your age, you have average experience. But you're a great, thoughtful guy, and your love life improves every year. There's also a powerful elimination process working in your favor: most Playboy types get stuck raising unwanted kids before you even begin settling down. The women left over will be hot and yours. Your ideal woman is someone intimate, intelligent, and very supportive.

While you're not exactly the life of the party, you do thrive in small groups of smart people. Your circle of friends is extra tight and it's HIGHLY likely they're just like you. You appreciate symmetry in relationships.

Your exact male opposite:

The Hornivore

Random Brutal Sex Master

Always avoid: The Battleaxe (DBLM)

Consider: The Maid of Honor (DGLM), The Sonnet (DGLD)

Seeing the light...

Steve — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 15:19:46 GMT

I am starting to see the light in my issues.

I need to focus more on me than other people.

I don't usually put myself first. Something I should have been doing all along.

There are peoplet that I should have in my life and that I shouldn't. Those that to shouldn't are those that don't want to be or choose to be selective in allowing me to be part of thier lives. Those people are not true friends and most likely have other agenda's. I could be wrong, but that is pretty much the way I am going to be looking at things.

Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
What truth?
There is no spoon.
There is no spoon?
Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

My Flickr Favorites

Updated Photos section

Steve — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 16:40:11 GMT

I have changed my photo's section a little. Instead of IFraming my flickr site into Skeetzhappens, I have Iframed my flickr slide show into Skeetzhappens. I think I like this a bit better. Seemed like an easy way to make things a bit better and more functional.

Also, I updated that link from saying Flickr photos to just Photo's.

Enjoy.

Interesting and not usual.

Steve — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 19:01:23 GMT

This is one of the first weekends in a long time that I have not had the option of going and hanging out with Eric, Angie, and Ellie. It's kind of wierd.

Anyway, that's all I got for now.

Weekend of Floating

Steve — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 22:16:51 GMT

Well, this weekend was spent doing some much needed unwinding. Friends and I went on a grand adventure into the wilderness to go floating on one of Missouri's fine river's in central Missouri. We braved the mighty meramec river in Steeleville, MO at Garrison's Floating Resort.

Some of the many sights to be seen included over 20 turtles sunning on logs, I think two snakes (maybe), many empty Guinness cans (around the fire), and more.

I now have an official floating hat, courtesy of Wade and Eric. May the hat brave many floats to come. This years float trip could be deemed the year of Eddie Bauer. Due to the gear that I picked up at Target last minute being almost all Eddie Bauer.

One of my only regrets this weekend, was not having a waterproof camera so that I could share the wonderful sights with whom ever visits this site or my flickr page.
