Have an extra 5 hours?

If so.. send it my way. I haven’t had much time to do much and this blog got the smackaroo.

Thing is I’ve got about 5 massive projects under my hand and three jobs to juggle. When I get a second, I’m normaly too stressed to blog and I’m off doing something else.

However.. you do get updates from me regularly… you just may not know it. On this sidebar to the left of my blog is my miniblog.. ala twitter. I update at least twice a day as to what i’m up to.

so check that out cause its recent and mebbe sign up for a twitter account yourself!

When you get pegged…

…you have to post it.

We all love/hate/ignore the wonderful “Find out what {insert pop-icon here} you are” memes, yet we seem to do them anyway; only to find out you really don’t think you are anything like Fizzy from My Little Pony.

Yet, the Transformers quiz nailed me, equating me to Wheeljack…

Must ask the Grumpybear more about this guy, I’m sure he has the toy.

By the way, the movie was awesome, but I must be missing something about the apparent craze about the 2 second clip of the transforming xbox 360… I was more stoked about the transforming Nokia n93i…. I hope mine has  a railgun when I get it.

Watch the movie, and do the quiz (via Jimbo.info) betches.

Tagged- Pieces of Eight

Eh.. I haven’t done a meme in a while, and the wonderful Jeff from alreadybruised tagged me so here we go..

The Rules: List 8 things about yourself that no one may be aware of. At the end of the post, tag and link to 8 other people. Leave a comment at those sites, letting them know they’ve been tagged, and asking them to come read the post so they know what to do.

1. I have a unibrow - Not really ashamed of it.. just saying I do… a few people have told me its cute, and others to get a can of raid to kill the rabid caterpillar on my face… Angel plucks it for me from time to time…
2. I hate young gays - mebbe “hate” is a strong word, but any time spent around the young and dumb section of the queer clique reminds me whats wrong with us. I think we need a stronger group of more mature queers passing on essential life information to help em get out of that initial rut and onto making a mark in the world as a positive individual… granted I’m young too, but I had those older gay figures watching over me from day one.
3. I’m terrible at strategy games - either from inexperience or ADD, games that demand the player to think 20 steps ahead are nearly impossible for me to triumph in. mebbe after a few hundred hours of WoW, I’ll be better, eh Mike?
4. I’m horrible at taking care of myself - I’ll break my back for a friend to make sure he’s ok.. I’ll give you advice, cook ya food, but I can’t do it for myself. There is about 20 things I need to go to the doctor for, but I can’t muster the desire to go for myself. I won’t cook dinner beacuse its just me.. and the apt only gets cleaned when I can’t walk anymore.. my mental health takes a dive because I won’t go to get help. I essentially need one little pill to make it all better… but I won’t go… despite great Insurance
5. I have a speech impediment - I tend to speak fast and stutter.. It’s because my brain processes speech so fast that my mouth can’t keep up… If I try to talk slow.. my brain will trail off and I’ll sometime forget to finish a sentance… had this since I was a kid.
6. My drink is Jack and Redbull - tastes like tire rubber, but Joseph the bartender at Marcella’s got me hooked on this drink of my concoction… It keeps me awake at the club… So if you wanna buy me a drink at Marcella’s.. get that and go to Joseph.. For beer, get me a blue or a Heineken.
7. I don’t want an iPhone - yea yea, macboy like me, full o shit eh? Not really… It’s a great product, and I’ll be camping out next week with a friend so he can get one… but I need to wait a year for a 2nd Gen… and the eventual hop to T-mobile compatibility. It will come, I’ll be patient.
8. I’ve managed to work in every field I wanted to as a kid - ‘cept as a chef and a garbage man. But I’ve been a teacher, club worker, pro blogger, construction, cashier, IT guy, dancer, and have worked for a hotel. maybe one day I’ll do it all…

So I guess I’ll tag

Blake Lewis Beatboxing on iTunes

Blake Lewis did what no other contestant has ever done: got me to watch the show. I came in at the end of the contest, free and clear of the Sanjaya nightmare.

I didn’t want Blake to win. The Scott Krippayne (He’s an old Jesus’er, creates pure contemporary fluff) winning single would have made Blake Disappear faster than Clay Aiken from gay.com after Idol.

So what’s in store for the beatboxing stage owning runner-up…? A career, plain and simple. He gets to create his own album, his own songs, and work with whomever he wants. I really hope he touches up his song “She Loves the Way” and releases it.. check it out here….

But a little wiki’ing and searching showed up a published compilation with Q-bert, on the beatbox album Human Element: the world’s First Human Beatbox Compilation. its track 10 (”Interlude” or “High for the Ride - Sea of Green”) Under the name Bshorty, you can hear Blake introduce Q-bert and then work in his talent with the master…

I found the album first on emusic… and on iTunes, but with no mention of Lewis and touched-up track names. I bought it, its pretty sweet, but won’t hold me long to wait for Blake’s Album.

Weekly update

I’ve ran all over the place lately doing so much that blogging has been 2nd fiddle to all the behind the scenes work I’ve been doing.

I promise.. next weeks joys and goodies are to come.. but here’s some info and updates.

1. My pinkie is broke - I snapped the tip pert near off. I seem to be pretty good at injuring myself in ridiculous ways.. and yes grumpybear.. it was almost as funny as mum-ra showing the man-slave up on how to start a chainsaw… Anyhoo.. i have this splint I have to keep on for 6 weeks; meaning after 3 weeks its coming off
2. I should have some very interesting things to show off in the next couple of weeks. WNYMedia.net is coming close to being able to launch ver 2.0. This is the main reason why I haven’t blogged as much, and part of the reason why my blog has taken a hit on the template side.
3. Snap! is down - but not for good. I just have to drop the form back on.. It will be back soon.. I promise.

Weekend Update - Psycho de Mayo

Today’s update will be delivered in an ordered list… the only organization I will be successful in this week.

1. Friday - Went to the Sabres Game 5 against the Rangers… Best Game Evah. Thanks to my good new friend Andy Kulyk for hooking me up. Went to the club to work… passed out from 3:15-3:45am… exaustion shows it’s first sign.
2. Saturday - Showed up at Marcellas at 2pm.. assumedly to help decorate for a first communion party to be held at 6pm. No clue why any one would want to hold a communion party for a little girl at a club that has lips for urinals… all I know is four hours later, I unintentionally merge from setup crew to party worker.. manage the hors d’oeuvres and bus tables till 9pm. Exaustion is real on all our faces… yet we all worked our asses off and the party was a smash.. despite having to endure the macarena.  I go home and change at 9:30.. coming back only to spend time with Grumpybear and relax… Eli, our trusty barback, is near death with exhaustion, or so he claims.. my previous offer to help him barback turns into ne covering for him completely, disregarding the fact that I’m tired as well.. Eli seems to think that a barback’s job does not include long hours, under-appreciationand prolonged exertion.  By the end of the night, I log 14 hours at the club… This is the last time I am going to save Eli’s ass.. I leave him a “fuck you” mess for taking advantage of me.
3. Sunday - I curl up close to Grumpybear, his body working the magic of erasing the previous week and filling me with renewed energy… that results in glorious sex (twice that night betches!) and a good nights rest. The morning brings breakfast with Mum-ra (Grumpy’s mom); Mike and I have plans to piss the day away. We decided to help Mum-ra and her man-slave, Mark, cut down some trees. I manage to fall in a ridicoulously absurd manner, thus possibly breaking my pinky….
   
   After a enjoyably lazy day with Mike, I head back to Marcellas… Eli is in a mood, yet no one cares because he left early last night, while the rest of the party workers that overflowed into the regular night had to stay.
4. Monday - Pinkie hurts like hell.. I probably will not go to the Dr. If it heals crooked that just means I can get the hard to reach boogers… Only downside is that I have to pour through a lot of php code and write some css.. that requires the “;:/\” keys that that pinkie’s job is to press.

Please Hold

I’m changing my look… I felt like I needed to…. I’ve been deep in wordpress so when I get frustrated I take it out on my blog… poor blog…

Yesterday’s Triumphs

Coffee Betch

Triumphs meaning: I was up before twelve, ate breakfast, walked down Elmwood, did laundry, and paired two like souls together for a convo.

The weather was incredible, even though its raining now as I speak; Angel and I spent literally the whole day on Elmwood, shopping, tasting the local fair and learning the hard way that being a hippie is hard work. Angel also took a lot of pictures of me…

take ten and call me in the morning

I’ve finally succumbed to whatever has been sitting in my chest this last week or so…

People who know me know that I take the worst care of myself.. I refuse to go to the doctor despite the fact that 56 bucks a month is pulled from my paycheck for health insurance. It normally takes someone close to yell at me to get me going…

The winter kills me… coupled with a cat that I’m allergic to, and being in and out of the damp cold… its a wonder I’m not worse off. But GrumpyBear is sick too, with a nasty chest inflammation to boot. I don’t want him to have to go back to the doctor with no insurance if I’m just gonna get him sick again. So with that thought and his worries for my health I’m gonna hit up the Lifetime Health Center downtown… I’m really an idiot… great health insurance, preferred health center two blocks from home, and I do nothing for my health.

p.s. Mike has been especially loving to me this week… I don’t know if the cold knocked some of the cunt out of him, or the fact that it will soon be six months that we’ve been together… I’ve never been so happy with the guy… I’ve never grown to love someone so much.

Pay it forward!

Today has been such a refreshing day… I guess a lot of things have done it…
One of my participants came back today from being off for a bit… when one runs up to you, yells he misses you and remembers he has computer class.. it makes everything worth it. Especially when you see that he’s back to being the guy everyone, including him, loved.

Angel, thanks for interceding for me to your spirits… I feel something…

Oh,, and because of my particular good mood, and being payday and all.. I was finally able to “pay it forward” from the flickr pro account I was gifted a while back from Mike. I Pro’d a cute cub named Andy… partly because he had about 135 pictures that were hidden and partly cause he’s such a hot bear du jour!

I encourage anyone who was gifted a Pro account to do the same… pass the love of photos around…
