i think i am going to be sick

i just drank to much chocolate milk ( i had to wash down my cherrios with something ) and i think i am going to be sick...i think i need to go home early

i am on yahoo now

ok...last post i said that i had a new program called trillian and that i could only get on msn. well, i can now get on yahoo! messanger too. go me.

i am going to try and post a picture of luke soon.

tonight i am going to see superman, i really hope it doesn't suck. i have seen to many not that great movies ( the breakup was good but i didn't like the ending ).

2 random posts in a row. maybe i should go for 3 :)

a lot of randomness

ok...i just saw/heard one of the goofiest things ever and i am being highly sceptical if it actually works. i went into the warehouse today and i saw a normal ziplock baggie with water in it hanging on a shelf ( the hook was through the top part so it didn't puncture the actual bag part ). i looked at it a while and tried to figure out what it was for. eventually i asked what it was and what it was for and the response i got was, " it's a baggie of water to keep the flies away." i proceded to laugh. after i picked myself off of the floor i looked her in the eye and asked if she was serious or if she had been drinking. she was being serious and sober. so i did some research on the ol' internet. the best theory on why it works is that flies have compound eyes. they can't see well but they can see movement. so when they see the water i guess they see movement and fly away for good. i guess i need to do some testing. maybe it will work with wasps.

i just got a program called trillian ( http://www.trillian.cc/ ). it can connect to aim, msn, yahoo, icq, and irc. right now at work i think we are blocking everything but msn but i might get that changed soon :)
if anybody ever wanted to add me they can. just send me an email and i will send you my info.

...if i lay here,
if i just lay here.
would you lie with me, and just forget the world...

two new things

i have made to great purchases in the past week. the first was a video game called God of War. i got it at wal-mart for $20. i had heard it was a great game but i hadn't played it before. i bought it, unwraped it, and that's it. last night i finally decided to play...wow. the game is great!!! i stayed up till like 2am playing. i just couldn't turn away. the goal of the game is to kill the god Ares.
the second purchase was i bought the Snow Patrol cd. they sang the last/one of the last songs in the last Grey's episode. the cd is pretty good. i have been listing to it all day.

well...i guess i better do some work while i am at work...go figure.

nice!!

my friend john michael started working at SEB again. he is such a cool guy. yesterday when i was bashing computer hard drives ( now that is fun ) he came up to me and said, " man, you haven't changed a bit!". what can i say, i love smashing things with a hammer. you want to relieave some stress? get a hammer and something that doesn't work.

today i found a great video. http://wherethehellismatt.com/ i think this would be a blast to do ( as long as i don't have to fly...i hate flying ).

well...back to work i go.

question for all...what is your favorite brand of shoes? mine would have to be 26 redtred. to bad i can't find them anymore :(

i hate what i have become

this morning in the shower i was thinking about my life. about who i am and what i want to become. i came to one realization that i don't like. i have become very sarcastic. i don't like it. sarcasm doesn't help anyone.

"Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving" Eph 5:4

so starting today i am going to try and not be sarcastic. i want to lift people up and help them. i want my words to be welcomed. i want to be a place where people feel welcome and safe. i want to be different from the world.

i am sorry.

this makes me smile

do the usa lost. it wouldn't be that bad if italy had lost too but they didn't, italy won. all we had to do is win and then we would have played against brazil ( that would be a good game ). so i got a little bummed until i was told i get to beat the crap out of some computer had drives. hopefully i won't hit myself in the head with the hammer...again.

then i saw this picture. how could i not smile?

to stressed out to work

the USA and Ghana are playing right now! how do they expect me to work when they are playing right now! Ghana scored already and our team captain got hurt...not good. *Update* reyna is ok and back on the field.

i will be updating this throught the game

*update* reyna is out with a knee injury
-dempsey scored a goal for the US!
-Ghana scored on a PK ( penalty kick ) so the score is now Ghana 2, USA 1
halftime
- well...USA looses. they only scored 1 real goal in 3 games...not good.

i am so addicted to this

i don't know why but i watch/listen to this all the time http://www.sinn-frei.com/loituma-live_3009.htm. right below it you can even view the lyrics and other goofy addictive clips. i have even watched this when chewbacca and darth vader are singing it.

i should probably go to bed now

for some reason i am still up. i know that it isn't smart to stay up late when i have to be at work at 7am....oh well. who needs sleep anyways? a little lack of sleep never hurt anybody before.

i have always had a problem with wondering if anybody would miss me if i was gone. if i just dissapeared right now would anybody notice? i have always felt like the outsider. i am not the smartest, funniest, strongest, or anything like that. i am just average. nobody misses the average ones. people remember the worst and best, not the average. but i have been getting better about this negative self image i have. i know at work i wish people would forget about me ( i get paged at least 5-20 times a day ). but other places i realize that i am loved and wanted. just today someone told me that they were wondering about me ( it was my turn in an online game )...man that feels good to hear. it is almost like God put these people ( wife, friends, and everyone else i have contact with ) in my life on purpose, to try and teach me something. God sure does work in strange and fantastic ways.

impressive...yes i am

today i was in the warehouse working on a computer. i got a little bored ( i think i am A.D.D. ) so i started looking in the box next to me. there i found some 12 inch glue sticks. i started playing with one and the next thing i knew i was trying to pull it apart. i wasn't doing that good so i was going to give up when someone says, " you can't do it ". so that made me try even harder. and guess what...i pulled it apart. i ripped that sucker right in half. so of course i had to out do myself so i decided to pull the half apart. on one try i did it. i might even have to post a picture of my miracle.

in other news, for some reason i have this weird pink, salmon color in every thing i do. even my blog is pink...good think i am secure in my manhood

which one should i get??

the power of dreams

this week i have had a couple of weird dreams. this wouldn't be so different then any other week except that these dreams were different. in my first dream ( i had it on wednesday night ) was about me going to paducha to get the car fixed ( in real life i was going on thursday to get it fixed ). so in my dream i decided to go visit tall shane when i was in paducha. well, i got to his place, for some reason i had a gallon of milk, and i decided to take a nap in the car. when i awoke it was past 2:20 ( the time i was needed to be at the nissan dealer ) and i decided to hangout with shane for a little bit. next thing i know it is past 7pm and jac has left 7 messages on my phone. i race home and get there around 7pm ( pretty good since i left at 7pm ). i knew she was going to be mad since i didn't get the car fixed and i had said i would be home around 4-5. so i cried while telling her and then the dream ended. now the weird part about the dream is this...yesterday i really went up to there to get the car fixed and i got home at...7pm ( jac and luke were with me so i didn't get in trouble. plus we got the car fixed for free ).
the second dream i had involves throwing up. so me, jac and luke were up at her parents and for some reason a guy i work with named todd ( he is a big time hunter, he has a full mounted zebra in his house ) was up there holding luke. next thing i know he is walking toward me with luke puke all down is shirt. it was NASTY!! i had to look away when i was talking to him and it smelled so bad! i eventually ran to the bathroom and stuck my head in the tolliet and proceded to fill it up. well when i woke up in real life my stomach was all weird feeling and i really felt like i had to throw up. i tried to wait it out but i was afraid i would get it all over the bed and jac ( rule # 785 don't puke on your wife or friends ). so i went to the bathroom and stayed up for about an hour until i felt like i was ok. weird.

but on a totally different really short note, i get to go to kristin and greg's house to watch the USA vs. Italy in the world cup! The USA really needs a win or a high scoring tie game.

My life
charred remains of a flame that’s burned out
my lips move but they won’t make a sound
I stand motionless, eyes to the ground
back for more
with reopened scars i remain
battered savagely, knees start to shake
I just stand there, I take it, I wait

I’m just waiting for time to erase
and the world to change
until then I will strive for nothing more
I’ll just wait for my heart to break
and arise from ash, reborn

look at me
cut my eye and allow me to see
what my life has become on my knees
I hear the screams, I watch myself bleed
but I can’t feel a thing
what am I but a victim unwilling to rise
wretched shell of a man and his pride
why stop living, I’m just waiting to die
my life it’s so familiar
why lie when everything’s the same but who am I,
and what am I waiting for anyway
and I will die waiting to be reborn...

that's 4 now

so this morning i was driving to work when i had to stop at a stop light. this truck pulls up on my right ( i was in the left hand lane ) and stops also. the light turns green and i go. i get up to speed when i realized that the truck next to me is going pretty fast as well. so i give issac ( my car ) another push of the gas and take him up to 80ish mph ( i needed to get around so i didn't miss my turn into work ). so i get around and start slowing down. as soon as i started slowing down i see a cop. my first thought was, " this is going to suck!". so i pull into the "turning" lane ( really just the sholder ) and turn like i would for work. i see the cop stopping and turning around right toward me. i start to get worried but i just kept going like i would any other day ( i was hoping he would go after the truck ). well...he went after me. i pulled into my parking my spot, turned the car off, and started to get out of the car. the officer stops behind my car and asks, " is everything ok?" this was not what i expected to hear. i said everything was fine and then he says, " i got you going 67 back there." i immeditly started apologizing and saying that i was sorry. he then said those magic words," ok but slow down for me ". instant joy right there. that is the 4th time i have been warned. i have yet to receive *knock on wood* a ticket. you can now call me neo because i am dodging bullets like crazy.

The Real World Murray

the other day aaron, brandon, cate, greg, kim, kristin, john, and margaret ( i know her real name, it is jessica ) we were talking about the real world ( i don't have a clue why ) and how they always have sterotypical roles. i got pegged as the really cool guy that everyone loves and the one guy i remember that was really cool and everyone loved was this guy- teck. sure he walked around
naked some times but i mean..who doesn't.

life is good

do you know what today is......FIRST DAY OF THE WORLD CUP!! i love watching the world cup! everybody tries to give it 110% the entire time. this is when teams try to prove themself to the entire world. this is like the olympics but way better.

jones soda...so wise

one of the best things about jones soda is the message you get under the cap. mine last night was:

laugh out loud ( really loud )

i will post more of my messages later

dumb luck wins again

what a great weekend. my sister-in-law got married this weekend to a pretty cool guy named brad. the wedding went pretty good. there wedding cordinator ( forced to have by the church ) sucked but that was about the most drama we had. grandma nunnie (i have no idea how to spell that ) was funny. i was an usher so i walked her down the isle. she grabbed my arm tight, started to get all jumpy ( she is 80+ years old i think ) and then said, " thank you so much brad...". first off my name isn't brad, it's bryan. second brad was the guy getting married. she does have altzhmers so i have stopped correcting her. to her, i am brad. lets see..oh i got to decorate the car. at first some people thought it would be funny to use washable markers and write some cute words on it...pathetic. so me and this other guy ( lawernce ) went to wal-mart and got the glass chalk stuff and some condoms. good times.

on sunday i drove to evansville to meet my lil bro so he could come down to murray and hangout for the week. while driving down i passed 22 cars on the two lane road. i also passed a cop ( i was going 80+ in a 55mph zone ) and he didn't even bust me. am i lucky or what?

that's funny!

so i was planning on leaving work early today jac, luke and i could get up to effingham early. instead, my coworker took the day off ( this is his week to stay late ) so now i need to work late. this kind of put me in a grumpy mood. not really a grumpy mood but a mood that i am easily iritable. anyways....so jac just brought luke up to visit. my friend robbin was holding him when i noticed his shirt looked a little wet. then i realized that he had peed through his shirt and onto her! i lol'd on that one. that boy sure does know how to cheer me up...sometimes. plus my scrabble game with kristin is really close this time.
