Livin it One Day at A Time

While I am sad, I can’t focus on being sad.

I just want too much to be happy.

In that vein, I was listening to my mp3 player (also known as the lovable scamp, Bender) when what came on but

“Can you take me high enough” by the Damn Yankees.

Some of my most favorite lines include

And I don’t want to live without you anymore.

Can’t you see I’m in misery?

And you know for sure
I would live and die for you
And I’d know just what to do when you call me baby.

Don’t say good night (bye)
Say you’re gonna stay forever
Oh, all the way

(Insert some runaway guitar solos. A must for any Monster Hair Rock Metal Love Ballad)

Greatest Monster Hair Rock Metal Love Ballad ever.

Do ya’ll have any favorites?

Extra points to anyone who can tell me what band (and the name of the song) that has a video where Slash leaves the Church and plays a runaway guitar solo in the lone prairie (The doors to the Church are apparently wormholes. One leads the big city, the other to the lone prairie.)

I had a good time at Brian Regan.

I had a vehicle problem today.

I shook while conducting sacrament.

I found out that Peter Jennings had died of lung cancer.

I got paged in @ 9:20 until, well, now.

While in for the work, I found out a good work friend of mine died this morning while flying with his father-in-law.

He’d been married all of three months. You can check out his website. I can remember first seeing him while he was getting interviewed. He was a cunuck, but I still liked him.

I’m going through the stages of grieving right now. All my muscles hurt, I’ve been angry, I’ve justified, I’ve done my fair share of crying.

This blog won’t be quite as happy as it until I get these issues worked out.

He was a good man. A man that will be missed. A man I will miss.

My body aches, and I think I need to go throw up.

I procrastinate.

It’s not like I don’t have the excuses as to why I’m not getting everything taken care of. Laundry to be done, NASA computer desk put together, bills to be paid, pinball machines to be set up, and pinball machines to be put back together (otherwise known as the most expensive jigsaw puzzles ever).

Did I mention I’m sleepy? For those of you who know me, this isn’t my normal narcoleptic self. Work paged me @ 3 am this morning, and I didn’t get out until 10:30. It took listening to some “Since U b33n g0ne” to keep me awake. I just kept it on continual rotation on the mp3 player. Thank goodness for mp3 players and whiny pop music. I then went to the apartment and proceeded to not sleep. I think sometime this afternoon, I crossed over from slap happy to sleep headache.

Where was I going with this? Oh yes, so here I sit. Stuff to do. Do I do it? No.

Instead I come up with probably the best ideas ever.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if you were given your ownChoose Your Own Adventure book when you are born?

[Mormon Talk]
Sadly, this is the reason I will never be a Patriarch. I’d give out 20 page blessings that would contain the following advice:

“If you decide to go on a mission, turn to page 12, if you decide to slack it at home go to page 18″

Page 12: “You go on a mission, baptize millions. Soon you go home, marry a cute girl, have 3 1/2 kids and strike gold while working in your garden.”

Page 18: “You are killed in a violent Panda Bear Attack”
[/Mormon Talk]

I do wish I had my own personal Choose Your Own Adventure. Of course I’d cheat. I would read the end first.

Sadly, I don’t think the church is ready for me or the blessings I’d be handing out. I wonder how the church is ready for me in any sort of Leadership right now.

Well, I need to go do “Stuff”.

After I get done reading some more blogs.. And listen to some Sk8ter Boi.

The server has been getting ready to melt down. I recently let the pinball nerds of the Internet (Yes, there is such a group, and they are mean…) know that I had photos of the Pinball Museum in Las Vegas.

Between them and some yo-yo that is trying to spam up my comments, the little hardys.org server is going into spasms. I swear I saw smoke coming out of it earlier tonight. Right now, I’m treating it gentle, sending it flowers, you know, the entire make up thing, because it’s mad at me (I’ll call it sometime tonight). I can tell. I’ll fix up the problems tomorrow.

Other than that, I’ve had another successful run at procrastinating. Thought I’d blog to make the total slackerness complete.

I’ll be seeing the always awesome Brian Regan this weekend. Of course I’ll blog/gloat about it.

I <3 me some Brian Regan.

I've added one last link to the blogroll. Albert is one of my good friends. He can be blamed for my facination with overalls. He’s also the only one of the three amigos to get married. I spent many a late night being his wingman. Good memories.

And to Albie, all I have to say is “Snowmobiling in the Tetons”.

I hope you can sleep tonight
After this, I’m being a lot more selective about who I add to the blog roll.

I’m no longer easy like that.

Ok, I at least want a lunch out of the whole thing.

Or a snack.

Well, it’s done. The hair has been cut. Cut shorter than I thought it would be. I did manage to get some cat calls and whistles at FHE.

I wish I could say that had all been from the women in the crowd, but…

I could post photos of the stages of the cut, from Wolfman to Alfalfa to Mr. Short hair. The only problem is, I don’t like photos of myself. I just don’t see myself as a stud muffin when I look at the photos. I just don’t think I’m that photogenic (kind of how I hate the sound of my voice on the phone as well).

Unless I’m taking a self portrait, then I look cool.

Ok, I cave. Here you go.

These are the last photos of me.

Ever.

I swear.

Until next time.

Then something, something.

End result, we all get some ice cream.

I was perusing my LdsLinkup profile.

LdsLinkup is a “Social Networking” website, it’s for everyone.

Well, that’s what they claim anyways. If you think that is true, well I have some premium land on Mars to sell to you. Pennies on the Dollar! I mean, any website with “LinkUP” in the address has other plans in mind. Like Linking up with the Ladies! Glavin!

So I digress..

I was looking at my network and I noticed something interesting. I only have to guys that are listed as friends.

They are my brothers.

I don’t think that counts.

One is in the MTC, I know he’s not on line.

This has led to a imbalance. I am now connected almost every girl in the Linkup (I’ll eventually be connected to that girl in Kentucky, give me time). I think I’m connected to like 10 guys.

If you have a ldslinkup profile, let me know, I’ll connect it to mine.

I’ve also added some links, moved them around, etc, etc. I even created a page for my Pinball Collection

Time to snooze.
