Happy Birthday West Virginia!!!!


First of all I would like to wish a very happy 149th birthday to west Virginia today!!!!!
Oh how I miss Morgantown!!! if its the last thing I do, I'm going to live in Morgantown again....and I wont leave unless I'm carried out feet first!!!!!!

There, I feel better now =)  onward and upward......I know its been awhile since ive updated this blog, my life isnt exciting enugh for a daily blog, yet, but i'm working on it...its frakin hot today...has been for some timenow, and will be for some time now.....and speaking of today, today is also the first day of summer! the Summer Equinox!  Blessed be! all you pagans, wiccans etc out there!!!!!! I plan to burn some incense to honor my ancestors goddess and god tonight!!! lets see....ive actually gone jogging once.....once...not being lazy, just very little time......busy at home and working all day to boot..... work is going as well as can be expected.....mom and dads health isnt great, and probably wont be improving...i'm trying to come to grips with that fact......my sister is having shoulder surgery this morning, i havent heard anything yet......earlier this month, late last month my poor dog had miserable allergies, we tried prednisone and special food..it didnt seem to help, i put her back on benadryl and her normal food and she seems to be doing better, next i'm going to try a higher grade food and see what happens......my allergies have been killing me as well lately, because of all the smoke from the fire about 25 or so miles fromhere..the smoke has been blowing through town......and speaking of smoke....ive decided to start smoking cigars again......I still enjoy my pipe, but a friend of mine has gotten into cigars and managed to talk em into it..so i have one about once a week....Ive really missed em! cant afford them too often, but its a nice treat to spoil myelf with one in awhile......I was of work ysterday, so onthe spur of the moment, i decided to take the next step in my monumental closet re-organization.....i brought all the bins that were in the very back and bottom of the closet, to the front of the closet, and all the bins ive already inventoried, to the back......wasnt easy..i even had a monumental collapse of bins whilei was trapped in the closet, but thankfully no damage......i couldnt believe how bad i sweated!! speaking of which, i got my air conditoner in the window finally....its a weird ac, it has no drain holes or anything for the condensation to drip out of..so i drilled my own =) i put 3 holes along the rear bottom of the thing..so when i put the thing away later in the year, i wont have grean slimy water like i did last time..and it would gurgle as it ran....strange.......oh, ands some sad news to report...sniff...my old trusty vcr finally died...not my oldest one mind you, the newer of the two......i stuck a tape, excuse me, tried to stick a tape in it the other evening and it got jammed, it kept trying to eject or play the tape and kept grinding it backand forth, i pushed the eject buttona nd ended up breaking it......i had to reachj inside the thing with one finger and push the litttle button way down on the circuit board...i finally got the tape out...maybe i can refurbish my older  vcr, but the newer one is a gonner....ive got alot of great memories with that vcr....such is life i guess......so now, i'm saving up to get a vcr/dvd burner combo so i can digitaze some of my videos...which is why i'm rearranging the closet, ive decided its time to get rid of my videotapes..especially the original movie tapes..so going to just toss emin the the trash, truth be told, i dont think anyone would want them anyway....and ive replaced many of them with dvd's anywho..so i should be able to get rid of 4 or 5 bins that way....with will lead to the main reason, i just came up with the other day, for rearranging my closet...i want to put a skinny 12" wide bookcase inside the closet door to hold all my videogame systems....i miss the old games, and its easier to have em all easily accessible in one place than trying to find cables for whichever system i want to use......so thats my ultimate goal........until next time...

Blogger's backend....bleh....um...ok....shrug...

I havent posted in awhile, and it looks like blogger has shot themselves in the foot, they are telling me i have to use google chrome becsuse they no longer support the browswer i amusing now, ie 8, and theyre backend looks like crap now...if they think i am going to be forced to upgrade to google chrome, they are dreaming, i will find another blogsite if this doesnt clear up..and it doesnt look like it will anytime soon...so anyway...did our monthly shopping yesterday, and since i'm off today, i'm doing laundry!  nothing too exciting has happened since the last blog, ive progressed farther in my closet inventorying and organizing, and gotten the linux box situated next to my desk, not hooked up yet, but getting closer to the day i can get my amiga towered and hooked up and the linux box going again! slowly but surely....my poor dog has been suffering terrible allergies since the seasons changed, she got a shot that made em all but go away for a few weeks, then the vet decided to try, since they came back after the shot wore off, some pills with antihistemine/prednisone in em..they dodnt work any better than benedryl so i weened her off of em, and a specail no allergen food, which only accomplished constipation and very dark shit...poor pup..i'm weening her back on her usual food and soon benedryl....no more wasteing money at the vets, she doesnt seem to have anything that cant be treated at home...just allergies......i finally got my ankle braces i was shopping around for and am going to be trying out jogging very soon.  Ive got running shoes i bought when i was going to the gym a few years back, they are low cut so i had to be careful how i ran, i tend tio sprain my ankles if i dont wear high tops..pesky weak ankles...oh well, i'm also taking some vitamins now that seem to be making me feel better....heres to hoping...work is going ok....we've expanded into another suite and are selling furniture on consignment now......home life is still the same.....parents are doing ok, all things considered...ive decided, with a little goading froma friend, to start smoking cigars again. i ordered a couple sample packs and hopefully will get them today......theyre kind of pricey so i wont be smoking them regularly, but a once in awhile treat.....and i'll priobably be getting some fresh pipe tobacco soon as well...time to change brands/styles......also, ive decided, judging by the hot weather, its margarite/rum and coke/pina colada season!!!! so i bought some booze yesterday, and margarite/pina colada mix, i got good rum, and good silver tequila!!! now i got drink choices after work or whenever i feel like one!!! ive decided, after watching an instructional video on youtube, to mod my amiga tower a bit, gonna start with an led fan, then eventually put a transparent window in the side of it..doesnt look to terrible hard to do....of course, the way my luck goes, i'll fuck it up anyway!!!!! heh....thats about it for now...if anything exciting happens, ya right, i'll be sure to blog about it.... until next time....
