Jun. 3rd, 2005 09:03 pm Moved to new location

I was doing a read through of some of my friends on here, n realized that I hadn't posted my new location. Not that anyone is 'way' interested or that I have much written or anything, but I'm Blogging over at http://wadehone.blogspot.com/ now.

I'll keep on reading here to keep up with buds and may jot down some thoughts every once n a while, but most of my updates will be at blogspot now.

Jan. 6th, 2005 01:48 am First entry of 2005

Ok, my lat post was about defining my direction in life. I still have all those goals and want to head that way, alas, following dreams still requires that I bring in a little cash to keep a roof ore’ my head, and food in the fridge… ok, at least Food coming at me through the drive through at Carls jr’s.

It’s a new year, and money’s starting to run a bit thin sooo, it’s time to get serious about getting more of it in my hands I suppose. Los Detalles )

Oh and my buddies story [info]tokek about the ATM envelope licking incident was hilarious. Check it out if you get the chance.

Sep. 10th, 2004 07:12 pm Mission Statement for Wade Hone:

Mission Statement for Wade Hone:

My overall vision isn’t absolutely clear in every aspect yet, however, I have a good idea of what I want to do, and where I want to go. Knowing this much will allow me to clearly define and take the specific steps that will lead me in that direction. As I get closer to achieving my vision, I know it will become even more clear to me. As the vision clarifies, the achievement of it will become easy. I hold true that knowing exactly what one wants to achieve is 75 to 90 percent of actually achieving it.

That being my belief, if I’m not able to clearly define exactly what I want to achieve far down the road of my life, then at least I should define what it is that I wish to achieve as precise and exact as I can at this time.

The Guiding Star: (long range)

Change the way that laborers are rewarded. Make the result getters the recipients of the rewards in a very direct way. Change the view of society to look at jobs that pay a salary, or hourly wage as ‘second rate’. Make the premium jobs that the masses seek, be those that provide a reward based on results.

Move from the traditional role of the corporation to that of a vision provider. Were corporation becomes the entity that offers the work to a contractor / self employed based society of laborers. Executive positions would still exist but those positions would be easy to switch over to a rewards based on results structure, as they are almost their already.

Also, laborers would be much more involved in the ownership of stock in the corporations that they worked for.

Checkpoints: (mid range)

For this to ever work, then the structure needs to be created and tested. Training programs implemented, and companies structured around the reward based on results concept would need to work and be proven as not only viable, but more productive.

Intagoal = the training.

Level20 = the example companies.

The mid range goals or checkpoints will be to make successful the training company of Intagoal, and the Level20 corporation which will excel at both developing and distributing products and services using the principles of rewarding results that will be studied and learned via the Intagoal program.

Next Steps: (short range)

Education:

Create a study plan for the 4 th quarter of 2004 that includes completing the Macro media Flash MX book, the Dreamweaver MX 2004 (with ASP, coldfusion, and PHP) the MySQL book by Kofler and various online classes from Mind Leaders. Optional will be a course or two on Linux from the New Horizons online Library.

Talk with the advisor for the BS in Corporate Training program at ISU.

Complete that program while working on the objectives below.

Level20:

A product or service needs to be chosen to sell.

A distribution method needs to be developed. (focus on an intranet based infrastructure.)

A method of rewards that will be attractive to sales reps. and inexpensive to the company needs to be developed.

Set up accounting. (Quick Books online ed.)

Keep this simple as your main focus will be education for the next few years.

Create a Business Plan.

Intagoal:

Collaborate with Blaine and the Intagoal team to develop a training program for Level20. (hopefully much of what is developed for level20, can be used by Intagoal as a more general application.)

Present a plan to Blaine that includes options on how to reward those that help to develop the training for level20.

This should take you well into 2006 or 2007.

During those years, Intagoal should be profitable, proving comfortable incomes or additional incomes for the founders. Level 20 should also be providing a hearty income and supporting a sales force of at least 10 full time reps, at a 40 to 100K a year income, and at least 25 part time employees. (by the end of 2007)

At the completion of the degree, then Level 20 should be expanded and grown, it should try for growth records, and income achievements, so that the companies spawned by it will be come noticed, and recognized as successful. All Training will be directed at Intagoal. And the successes of the companies associated with Level20 will be designated as a success due to following the principles of rewarding results, specifically and minutely.

The above plan is a ruff draft and will be refined over the next few weeks.

Sep. 2nd, 2004 11:21 pm From Oregon with love.

so,

I'm on the coast on vacation with my family havin a blast and I figured I ought to record this moment in my journal.

It has been a blast!

the ocean, the sea life, being close to my mother, father, and the families of my Brothers and sister. The weather hear has been absolutly AWESOME, and the ocean air just seems to clear all the clouds and cobwebs out of the attic of my brain.

bottom line, I'm lovin it!

so, here's some small pic's next time I post I will know to make them just a tich larger.

A Whale near the boat. A California SeaLion. (Newport Aquarium) Sunset off the Balcony where we are staying.

It's fun!

Jul. 24th, 2004 05:14 am Every man needs a purpose to live for.

Every man needs a purpose to live for. In most cases that need is fulfilled through mans ability to fall in love. For some, that is not enough, or the love that they unite themselves with is driven with a purpose her own, and will not allow the love relationship to fill the need for purpose in the man.

For others who can not, or will not explore that avenue, the need for purpose does not go away. Or perhaps the man has explored the avenue of love and found it lacking in its ability to satisfy his need for purpose in life. For those, it is required that they find a purpose to which they can dedicate their efforts. If they are unable to find such a purpose, they are doomed to a life of escapism, attempting to avoid the drive that pushes them to find purpose in living. This type of life may temporarily satisfy some men, however, if those men were to look deep into their hearts, they would find that there is something lacking from their lives. For most men, however, only temporary relief is found from the drive to find purpose in the distractions of the world that allow one to escape for a moment. Unfortunately, that does not mean that most men ever make any serious attempt at breaking free from escapism… But some do.

It is with this in mind that I sit down tonight to attempt to clearly define some of the purposes that I think would be worthy of filling the need for purpose in my life. In most cases, that purpose of life is filled for men by raising a family.

The section following this paragraph is written on a ‘personal’ level. In order to measure success, success must first be defined. That definition of success will be different for every person that draws breath. Success should be defined by each individual in accordance to that individuals values and the definition should be ratified by God. Once success has been defined by the individual, only then can the man seek to determine a worthy life purpose.

Some of the things that I would like to consider for the position of ‘life’s purpose’ are the following: (not in any particular order, priority will be decided at a later time.)

- Improving communication by way of seeking the underlying motives previous to, and during attempted communication.
- Improving quality of life by way of directly rewarding each result in the work place, and eliminating the ‘wage’ aspect of a job. Also encouraging people to seek employment doing things that they love to do. Also encouraging, at least at the base levels of employment, a ‘self employed’ approach where small mom and pop companies are the way of getting business done. Corporations would exist more to provide direction to the smaller more independent contractors, which would take the place of the general work force, and most of middle to upper management.
- Be an expert in developing communities that integrate to the maximum potential the technologies of super networks such as the internet.
- Online education. Bringing education to the masses of the world in a self paced extremely cheep extremely high quality and available to anyone format that would allow anyone with access to the internet, or a computer and some inexpensive data (that could be installed on computers with out internet access,) to attain a level of education that would be recognized as valid. Valid meaning that the education that could be attained in this manner, would hold as much weight as a bachelors degree would with employers, and society in general.

There, those things seem like worthy goals. Along with those goals I can toss in the personal ‘greed’ based goals of having money that would allow me to experience more of live, in the world that I live.

I will of course need to break these general objectives down into more achievable sections and map out my route to accomplishing these things.

Who knows, with luck and a bit of divine intervention (because it is doubtful that there will be any sort of ‘self intervention’,) I may even be able to incorporate the ‘love’ element into the equation and have the privilege of raising children as well.

Jul. 5th, 2004 11:46 pm Thoughts on my family - inspired by 4th of july 2004

Whoa!

No writing for a long time from me!

Oh well, I just wanted a little thing here. I just got home form a few days out camping with my family. Uncles Aunts, cousins and more, all gathered together to celebrate the 4th of July, 2004, and pretty much to renew bonds of love and friendship.

I was reminded that it is from my family that I draw my spiritual strength. It seemed as though my entire Essence was re-invigorated by the brief time spent with them.

We had fun games, the atmosphere was laid back, and every one seemed to have a spirit of 'building each other up'. It was like a little safe-haven from the world, where so often I hear, and perhaps (if, I'm honest with myself,) participate in, remarks that will only break apart or tear down something or some one.

It was totally refreshing to be in a place where you didn't have to have your 'guard up' all the time. Not letting some one in to where they can strike at the emotional 'soft spots' was something that I could totally not worry about for the time spent with them.

The family isn't perfect, individual’s aren’t perfect, but there certainly was something there that just allowed me to come away refreshed and rejuvenated.

It is my wish that all people can find that thing that brings them emotional wellness. I know that 'family' can't always be relied on to be that source of rejuvenation. I won’t go into what I think the answers for where that can be found are at. What I do want to do here is recognize that I have a heart full of thanks that goes out to the individuals of the family that I'm in. Those individuals certainly are trying to make the family that I am a part of, one that is full of building blocks, and not wrecking balls. Being with them for that short time inspires me to do what I can to build up others, not only my family of flesh and blood, but also the familia humana to which I belong.

----------

I was reading the journal of [info]jillianann and found the following Quote from her that reminds me that my ‘whishes’ from above are nothing without actions to follow.

She said:

“remember dreams don’t happen without action
nothing happens without action
movement energy has to be put into motion
in order to see things happen.”

May I take those words to heart, those words, along with my fathers admonition to

“work hard son.”

Those words and ideas will aid me in rising to an active state, instead of a dormant one. Thank you.

May. 12th, 2004 07:08 pm I'm Back on line! (from Idaho) & Experiance of the day's

I'll be brief today, but plan to be on more regular now.

I'm going for a new approach to my LJ, I was inspired by [info]jillianann by something She wrote in her post.

Here is JillianAnn's Quote that got my attention:

--------------

"i dont care about whats wrong
i care about what helps
i dont care about what people do wrong
i care about change
i dont believe anyone is stupid
i believe some just are not lucky enough to have good teachers
i dont believe i am better then anyone else
i just listen and seek
i dont believe we can help anyone
by putting them down
i dont believe ranting about how bad the system is
will help change it
i dont believe that i can effect anyone
by saying they suck and are wrong
i dont believe the way to fight a battle
is to attack the people your trying to save
so my focus from now on
is not whats wrong
but how can we change it"

by - JillianAnn
------------------------

That got me to thinking about EOD's. (Experience of the Day)'s

read more about EOD's )

...So, I'll be focusing on writing one thing here each day that is sort of a 'highlight' for the day.

PS - Qwest finally did it! they got me on line and I'm Cruisin fast on my DSL connection!!

I've missed the LJ community!! I look forward to reading all your posts for the last few weeks while I have been internet-less.

May. 5th, 2004 11:25 am Hello From Boise ID

Hello LJ world,

I have been in the proccess of moving to Idaho From Los Angeless. The Move day was CRAZY! A) Uhaul said they would have a Truck for me at 9AM and they didn't have it till 4 PM the day prior to move day.

On the day I moved, I got up from a nap at 9:22pm, Packed and cleaned till 5:22 am at wich time I departed to LA. I Drove straight through, just stopping for Gass, Red Bull, and Mountain Dew. I arrived at the apt. at 11:45, at which time I signed the lease, got a key, opened my door, through a pillow on the floor and Crashed.

That hard Floor, was as comphortalbe as a Feather Bed that first night.

Since then, I have been unpacking, (I had lots of help getting the stuff outta my truck so that went Fast! I felt like a fool for not having taken my buddies up on their offers to help me load the truck... it would hae been so much smoother.)

Any way, the place is a bit bigger than where I moved from (an extra Bed room, and a bigger living room area) It costs half as much, and it's closer to Family. so I'm happy.

hmmm, oh, ya, I'm sitting in the parking lot of Comfort inn where they offer free wireless internet... I imagine that it's for the paying customers... but um.. well... I paid one time so I figure that will cover me at least untill I get internet hooked up in my house. (Schedualed for next Monday.)

ok, there is an update for now. I'll wrte a bit more (and I'll look up and use the -cut- tag next time,) when I get internet hooked up in mi casa.

Austa,

Apr. 12th, 2004 01:53 pm Hello E-World

Wow! I never knew that I would be such a 'slacker' in the realm of the 'electronic world' if my laptop was ever taken away!!!

But surprise surprise, I guess that I was.

Anyway, Problem solved, as my new laptop arrived and I am pretty stoked to get it set up.

Broad Band Internet should be going into my new place (in Boise,) where I am moving. As long as I have Broad Band internet, I will feel that it is 'safe' to go ahead and move in... I find it odd that I'm actually going to have DSL installed and working before I ever move in...

OK, I'm in Idaho Visiting Relatives and prepping for my move later this month. I'm also setting up my new laptop 'yea'.

That’s pretty much my news... I'll try to most more to go over my 'post AT&T job' activities and keep my journal updated with what I will be doing to 'bring home the bacon' per say. It should be quite the exciting road, as I have decided, that never want to 'work for some one' again in my life... well, better phrased would be that I want to be 'self employed' again, since Self Employed folk probably work for the most amount of people ever... the customer.

ok, Tons to do still, I did feel bad for not getting on here to comment on other entries that have been made, or make an entry of my own.

Some day soon I'll make some time and go catch up on the news that I have missed.

Thanks,

Mar. 10th, 2004 06:20 pm Tonight was a good night.

Ya know, it wasn't planned by me to do this, but over the last hour and a half, I have spoken to my whole immediate family. And it was very good. Details Found Here )

Thanks for sharing this moment of 'familial bliss' with me... To top this evening off, I am going to walk to the market, (My Car is in the shop... finally...) and I'm going to buy me a Gallon of Milk, and a Big Chocolate Cake, which I will partake of generously.

Current Mood: peaceful
Current Music: Celtic - Folk

Good morning, it’s 3:30ish in southern California on a Friday night.

March 6, 2004

I haven’t quite made it to bed yet but I thought I’d get this posted before heading that way.

I was informed a day or two ago that I would be losing my cushy job working for AT&T Wireless, and well… I have mixed emotions about the whole deal.

I thought I’d get a quick record down on LJ and I figured that this post would be a great way to test out the new ‘post by phone’ feature that I just discovered.

Ok, Mixed emotions. First I’m a bit Sad to go. It has been a wonderful place to work, the people are great, the so cal weather is Awesome, the money is descent and though the first couple of years were a challenge, now that every one on the team knows their job and most of the variations of it, every thing really pretty much runs on Cruise control.

And there we have the ‘mixed’ emotions part of the deal. I’m in a comfort zone, from which I would not leave if left to my own volition. Therefore, I am almost grateful for this twist of fate, that will kick me out of this comfortable nest and back out to the streets of reality. It’s easy to concentrate on the negative and get pretty ‘mopey’ or down right honoree sometimes, about the whole thing. But! If I start to concentrate on the, ‘what will you do now?’ question, it really doesn’t take me to long to start bouncing off of the walls with excitement about what the mysterious future will hold for me.

So, I’ve been going back and forth between nursing a hefty case of “PLOM” (stands for Poor Little Old Me,) and getting pretty pumped about all the opportunity that awaits.

Conveniently for me, the concentrating on the upcoming opportunities aspect, is winning out, and I’m finding much more joy and happiness in life, dwelling in that arena than in the deep dark ‘poor little old me’ corner.

Ok, I just wanted to do a quick update, and make a voice post. I’m going to call it a done deal and pop this up there so that I can listen back some day and remember what it is that I was feeling.

It’s nice to know that if I don’t write, then at least I can ‘speak’ a bit of my history into my journal.

Very cool.

This is Stepp1758 Signing off. G’night.”

Feb. 24th, 2004 07:42 pm New Icon - recnet updates on life.

I changed my Icon!

BUT, I didn't know that it would change ALL of my old ones :- ( oh well, I like this Dark Elf Druid WAY better than the Black Wizard that I was before.

perhaps I will suddenly be imbued with vast stores of knowledge and wisdom....

*Waits for a second or too...*

Well, no perceptible difference so far, but I'll keep you posted.

---

Ok, so I bit the bullet and actually 'paid' for some software that I have used pretty regularly ( I have my own particular code of ethics on software and piracy it would take a while to explain it all... but bottom line is that if I use it, I'd I ought to pay the folks that put the work into making it.)

that ethic gets a bit 'stressed' when the software costs several hundred dollars... even at the reduced 'upgrade price' which I Qualified for.

anyway, so I bought Dream weaver (and the accompanying suit,) as I am REALLY getting into my web designing... although there is really nothing new to show. That little 'Icon' thing with the funky little beveled edge is my first creation with the tool. hopefully I'll get better and make even more fun stuff.

Ok, I’m rambly, and haven’t put a -cut- tag anywhere so I'll just stop with a final word or two.

---

It looks like the end Draws nigh! (end being the end of a great job working with excellent people, a couple of whom, frequent these boards.) I just want the next 'ending part' to get over quick... the endless 'chain jerking' that is going on is driving me into avoidance of reality zones that are fun, but allow life to zoom by at an alarming rate. This weekend I my passion for web design was renewed, and I snapped out of my emotional re-treat long enough to realize what I was actually doing. I re-engaged some of my 'high on the list' activities that I plan to do when this job ends, and I got pretty enthused about starting a road show and getting back into the thick of making a buck and having it all depend on you. I miss that, and I'm looking forward to the little 'career' that I'm developing.

I'm happy to say that things look like they are coming together nicely in that department at least. Now I just want the madness of the next few weeks to be over, then I can get re-focused on and start actively working my plan.

Hmmmm, look who's rambling even more.

But Hey! I took a couple o weeks off, I figured I'm entitled. (I'll use -Cut- Next time, I really will!)

It was good to read my friend’s posts, I haven’t gotten through even half of what I missed! but thanks for keeping on writing, even though one of your readers took a break :- P

oh, my favorite quote so far came from [info]e_r_i_c_draven who wrote:

"...There are plenty other words to describe a nasty,back stabbing,whorish,complain a minute,personality like a warthog,wicked witch of the west's mother,kaniving,bitchy female...

Whoa! Was that too much ?"

EDraven, Seriously, that should go in a Song somewhere, I mean whoa, it just Flows!

ok, I'll take a break, but hopefully not a 2 week one this time.

Stepp - out.

Tired, yes I'm tired... I got plenty of sleep thats probably the problem right there, as most nights I only get 4 to 6 hours...

I'm tired, but it isa good friend of mine's Birth day... so, I'm going to head out to a little diner there, I already ate, so Reallly i'm just goingfor desert, and to see them (it's been a few months since I have seen Mark and Silvia.)

My days have seemed more productive this week... I'm studying when I'm not working, and I'm making progress... only thing is, I'm putting about 50% of my study time into a subject that is morehobby than anything (linux / Unix administration...) Oh well, I enjoy it and I feel like the time is well spent for some reason. I shall continue.

Tomorow marks my Brothers birthday, and my half birthday. I have some pretty agressive goals for this year... I'd best get to cracking on them.

I bought a book today, 'the greatest salesman in the world"by OG Mandino... Iv'e read it before, but it has been a while... I'm not sure why I picked it up, but I'm thinking that I'm in one of those times of life that (long break for a phone call...) I need to keep my eye's open for oppertunities and then act on them.

I'ts agood spot to be in and I have certainly missed being here. I've been 'coasting for about three years now'... it's good to be back in the 'hunter mode'.

ok, I'm off (late to a birthday dinner)

buh bye.

February 2, 2004

Well, I just had one of those 'moments' where you realize some pretty important things.

I suppose that one could pass the recent events off as 'coincidence' and go on living life with out really taking note.

I choose to recognize when there is something a little more than coincidence at work.

At work we have been told that we are losing our jobs. I have put off really thinking about what I would 'do' for a new career for quite a long time. (though they are not outsourcing now 'yea!' they will now go into doing aggressive head cuts, and I think my neck is already on the block and the axe is swinging down hehe.)

soo, tonight, I pondered. long and hard, I thought... for hours about what it is that I really want in life.. and it was hard to do... I kept coming to the realization that all the avenues that I would walk down career wise become boring, and seem to have little purpose with what I think is important in life.

finally I figured that the 3 or 4 hours I had put in thinking on this one subject (staring at various walls, or the ceiling in my house,) was enough for the moment so I would put the thoughts on hold till I went to bed, where I'm sure I would resume them once again.

I moved a bookcase in my room, as I'm re arranging space right now. As I went to place a journal of mine back on the shelf, it fell and opened to a page. I casually glanced at what it said, and low and behold, It was a note to myself! I’ll re type it here, but keeping in mind that I had just spent over 3 hours pondering what I could do professionally to make money... allot of Ideas passed through my head, but nothing 'felt' right... then I read this, written over ten years ago to a 'future' me. I can actually remember writing this and wondering at what point it would find me when I next read it. here are the words:
---
Sat. May 11th 1991 - Argentina

When I go home I don't want my life to be filled with the petty trials and worries of my personal life. Wade, please always keep in your mind the eternal purpose of your heavenly father and continue giving or trying to give 100% of your time, efforts, possessions, and anything and everything you possess to him and his work here on the earth. Do not fail him, (your Savior) or yourself be true to the church all the days of your life, take the spirit of your mission with you where ever you go!

-WH-

---


Pretty interesting eh? and the truth is I needed a reminder like that right about now.

I could write tons more but I’m trying to step out of that 'self analyzing' mode that I tend to get into. hopefully I'll just 'DO' what I asked of myself earlier in my life. I certainly would not be any worse off if I did, and my bet is that I would be a whole bunch better off, if I would stop trying to do every thing myself... I mean 3 hours staring at the wall, and I didn't even hit my knees once to ask for guidance! C'mon Wade!! What up with that??!!?

I DO need to re-align my life that’s the truth... and I was thinking that it would have something to do with making $$'s however that is not the case. $$'s has very little to do with true happiness I'm finding.

52.07101% - Super Geek

ya, now tell me something I didn't know!

Ok, I closed the page before I snagged the link so that you could see what % of a geek that you are, sorry, but really - like a true geek would even need a test to let him / her know that they are a geek or not.

ok,

sooo, my good friend [info]e_r_i_c_draven got an account going, that's cool! I'm not sure how much that he will write, but look forward to anything that he does drop down.

hmm, Work was fairly light today, the Virus is pretty much eliminated from our network, no meetings today, and I'm staying pretty caught up in e-mail. perhaps I really will get some training done tonight.

I doubt that I will get to sleep at all tonight, so, Training or actual web work would indeed be a very good Idea.

Jan. 27th, 2004 11:03 pm I need to be more active on my live journal

So, Every day when I boot this computer up... well every time actually... it may not be rebooted for several times, or it may happen several times in one day, but I digress. Every time I boot up this handy application pops up with a window that reminds me that I have a live journal, and that I 'could' be writing in it.

I guess that the fact that there are actually 'people' out there that actually added me to their friends list when Katrina [info]kyra_ojosverdes introduced me, had me 'curving' my scribbling a bit... or hmmm, curb, is probably a better word for it.

I figured that I'd need to write interesting and engaging things like I read in other peoples LJ's... or at least make them funny. bottom line, I felt like I’d need to make 'quality' posts here on LJ if people were going to have to read through it all.

but I had an Epiphany! (or what ever those flashes of insight are that one has every once in a while.) I just need to not worry about an 'audience' or rather make the audience 'myself' in the future, since, it is for 'self' that a journal is for in the first place right?

so basically, I'll toss in a few 'cut' Tags, and go crazy on documenting what the hell is going on in my life.

it'll be fun (for me,) heh, if it's not a fun read, then please feel free to pop me off your friends list, I won't be too terribly hurt.

But I do think that I will start writing in here a bit more. I sure do enjoy reading what's up in the life’s of those that I have on my friends list. and I do like to keep a record of what’s going on in my life... soooo, here is me 're-committing' to Live journal.

the Day's adventures )

that fun ness, a good chat with my Dad, some playing of Crimson Skies X-Box, and then updating my Virus software has taken the place of an evening of Dream Weaver goodness yet again! Arrrgh, the talk with Dad was worth it, but that was only like 15 mins.. hmmmm I’m going to have to get back in control of my time I suppose!

Current Mood: mellow

Jan. 18th, 2004 07:04 pm Weekend at a glance

These Personnel reviews are crazy stuff... (I'll probably have a good five pages to write about his years experiance by the time that they are over... )

This weekend was pretty computer-less.. X-Box Live with a friend from Boise (playing Project Gotham 2 on live,) till 4:00 am hehe, had me sleepin all day, then getting ready for the nights festivities... Saturday afternoon I had a 'Gamer Get-together' at Dave and Busters, (a Restaurant, Arcade, Bar,) which Was Extremely Awesome! I met some friends that I have played games with since 1993, and never met before. Every one there was pretty cool and no 'scary' people, which was a nice change from other Gamer Get-togethers that I have been too.

the thnig that sux is that I took my camera, ready to snap a baziillion photos with my 1 gig of memory that I never have to change cuase it's so dang much memory! only, to my horror, the first shat that I went to take, I read a message flashing in red on the view screen, "No Memory card present"! Bah, It wsa right, I had left the memory card inserted in my computer back home! so, now I have to rely on other peoples shots to 'capture' the moments. Se la vi.

hmm, then a friend came over and we played x-Box again till um.. really late / early. I got up around noon, actually made it to church today, then got back home thinking of all the stuff I still have to do on the ppr's...

Crazy weekend.

I missed a bunch of calls, (loud location last night, then left the phone home while I went to church today.)

To those of you posting, thanks! I enjoy reading the journals durring the day.... sorry I don't have some of the 'philosophical musings' to post yet... some of those that I have read here are quite insightfull, thanks for taking the time to put them up!

for now, I'll post the 'travel log' type entry's with high hopes of matching your qulaity soon! I suppose that I'll write the things that I want to remmeber for myself :-)
(Good Stratagey.)


thanks,

Stepp

Jan. 16th, 2004 12:15 am Fun Day!

so, I had lunch with the Anaheim Hills Crew, then did the reviews, then stopped by Fry's after work to kill some Heavy Traffic time,(it's like So Cali's Electronic's Mecca, just absolutely beautiful! I love that store.)

While there Tom Called, he brought his X-box over and we played Prince of PErsia, and RainBow Six 3 (a stupid name, but a cool Game.) while he was over we went and picked up Marcel and went to Carl's Jr's for burgers.

Back to more games, I showed him the Alpha world of World of Warcraft, which was leaked by hackers... I snagged a little copy so I could run all over azoroth and check out the lay of the land... It's Freakin Awesome if anyone is curious.

Oh, a Buddy that I have known for like 7 years now online, but never met in RL, called and we set up a 'meet and Greet' with other members of this Gaming Guild that we are a part of. Set up for Friday at Dave and BUsters at the Spectrum in Irvine... that should be fun, I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

For tomorrow, there are more Reviews to do and a lot of typing... it's the busy season of my job, ya might say.

I HAD planned on doing a course on Dream Weaver and Data base manipulation.. but alas, all these fun distractions ya know!
