A little while back a friend of mine wanted to do something special for his younger brother who started at Oklahoma State University in August. So what better to do for a new college student than to encourage massive drinking?!?!?! He decided to build him a kegerator. He luckily came across a fridge for free and just needed the kegerator setup. He ordered the kit from a website but really wanted to make it special. So he came to me. I found a high resolution image of Cowboy Pete and very slowly converted it into something we could cut out on the plasma cutter at work. I cut it out of 20 guage mild steel and he took it back home to finish it up. I thought he was going to paint the fridge orange and the metal black, but he did something a bit better.

I’ve learned a lot from all these break-ups and make-ups,
and fuck-ups and fake-ups
Things that I wish you could comprehend.
But for now I’ll lace up my wingtip shoes, boys
and I’ll go and have breakfast with my good friends.

I haven’t posted anything in a while but I guess I’ll do an update in case anyone besides Justin and Nick read this.

I’m still working at the shop. We’re trying to finish up a final project before we close down. After that it will be more of a hobby thing. I am trying to find another job right now so hopefully i will soon. Not much else is new in my life. Kinda boring huh? Anyways, I’ll leave you with something funny… At least it was to me.

Most of you have seen that I have my favorite quotes randomly appearing on my main page. Most of these really mean something to me, or they are either somewhat profound or humorous. These usually help to put me in a good mood or at least put my feelings in perspective.

Example 1: “A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.” -Johann Wolfgang Goethe

When I start seeing all the bad things in the world and start feeling like people are vicious, this tells me to look to myself to see what’s really pissing me off!

Example 2: “Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way you deal with it is what makes the difference.” Virginia Satir

This reminds me that although things may not go the way I would like, there are always ways to handle problems that make the situation better. There just isn’t some way that things are SUPPOSED to go.. At least in my opinion.

Of course there are many others, I have 25-30 that cycle. I want to add more! So post up your favorite quote(s) and who the original author is. I want anyone who reads this to post up, no matter how insignificant you may think the quote will be to someone else… You never know, it may mean more to someone than you think.

Earlier this afternoon I opened up firefox and waited a moment for my customized google home page to load. After loading I somehow accidentally clicked on “Add Tab” at the top. I saw a new screen pop up and thought “hmmm, wonder what a new tab would look like, or allow me to do” so I typed in “adfsd” and clicked ‘ok’ or whatever option it gives you. I then quickly decided I didn’t need an extra tab sitting there… staring, sitting, mocking me…

Anyways, I then looked for a way to delete it. And I continued to look for a way to delete it. Once again the tab mocked me… Bastard. I am still looking for a way to delete the tab and it is still mocking me, repeatedly. So I have been clicking everywhere in a frenzy hoping I will accidentally click the right place and send that damn tab into oblivion, never to be seen again. But thus far, I have had no success… Just some really strange things appearing on my homepage.

Now really, I’m not that stupid… I’m not clicking around randomly but I really can’t seem to find out how to delete the tab from my homepage. I may just decide I should give up and then proceed to shove steroids down my homepages’ throat and switch over to Netvibes.

Can anyone help a brother out?

I spent this evening with my two best friends in the universe, Justin and Nick watching football and working on their computers. It was actually quite fun just sitting around griping at each other about how we were working on the different parts. I came home kinda late after Justin went to bed, and Nick started working on home work. I was in the mood to listen to some music. I started picking out random songs and noticed I was apparently in the mood for some ‘feel-good’ songs. I decided to put together a list of songs that make me just plain feel good, and make me want to be with people I care about. So here it goes in no particular order.
