Okay…these couple of days have been pretty rough. Well, not really.. Just blah

Coming down with a nice little cold that’s kept me up most of the night..I don’t think I’m gonna be able to go to work at 10. Who knows, maybe I’ll be able to get a little rest.

fredward.org was down for the past 2 days as I’ve upgraded my web server to a faster box. Hopefully they’ll be some improvement in load time. The reinstall went pretty smoothly except for the beginning. Setting up the firewall went without a hitch, I could ping out from the router but imagine my surprise when my clients couldn’t access the internet. Local traffic was fine so I knew their wasn’t a problem with the gateway…I spent about an hour looking through my fw.rules, using lynx to browse google etc.. Until I figured out there was a problem with my nameserver.. less than a minute later it’s fixed and good to go.

LOST is back and off to a very strong season so far. I’ve read somewhere that the Writers Strike is over…I hope so, and more importantly…I hope they start recording episodes of LOST..quickly! The way this season is shaping up, I really don’t want to get to the halfway point only to have to wait a couple of months.

I’m ridiculous amounts of tired right now in case you couldnt’ tell from the ranting and jumping back and forth…but when I try to lie down I just toss and turn…Me complaining about not being able to go to sleep. No Surprise There. It’s gotten better though, I’ve gotten calmer…Certain things don’t effect me the way they once did. Either that or I’ve finally realized that sleep is a treasure.. enjoy as much of it as possible

I did have an awesome dream though a couple of nights ago..Moved out to Washington State…I was a network security admin for some big telecom…Best part about my house was I had my little bomb cellar with a galaga machine in it. That’s seriously a goal for my dream house.

eh. I’m getting over a moderate case of food poisoning. I haven’t felt that bad in a while. 10:1 odds I got it at August Moon while in Murray the other day…I highly hope not as that place is delicious ^_^ Although, if I did get it at the Moon then I believe the person I was with is cursed as the last time I got food poisoning was when I cooked for her.. and she was fine both times. lol

I love fall, it stimulates something deep within me that I can’t begin to explain. We’re getting close to the brief period of time where the weather is perfect 24/7.. Last wednesday when I went to Murray was pretty close. Left a little late and took a drive through LBL with the windows down. Almost a full moon, cold air? Oh yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever felt better

Last night I decided to take a late night drive as well…About 2 am, temperature just dropped below 60. Fog blanketed the area and visibility was nil trying to drive along the backroads. And of course I had a fresh cup of coffee with me ;)

I think I need to try to find a night shift job for the next couple of months, lol, I’ve been losing sleep but it’s been because I’m so stimulated that it’s possible to.. So, I go out and drive.. loving every minute of it.

Perhaps there are a few perks to this being unemployed thing.. lol, on that front things aren’t going too well. I’ve tried all the really good jobs and now I’m afraid I’m going to have to focus on the “I-need-to-survive” type jobs. Blah. Oh well, it’s only for three more months :)

I’m about 99% over my cold. Really should swing by Rite Aid and get some stuff to make it 100% but i’m kind of lazy/broke right about now

I’ve done two things I haven’t done in ages. Well, I’ve only done one.. the second one I’m starting after this entry. Went outside and broke out a new notebook.. trying to come up with ideas for a few new songs. It’s been so many years since I’ve written that it’s even worse then when I first started but hey, you have to start somewhere right? Not quite sure how i’m going to get these to music.. but i’m pledging a Music Fraternity, what are brothers for?

I came in to brew some coffee when I saw my guitar sitting in the corner.. this brings us to part two of things I’ve neglected. I have guitar friends all around. It’s time to put this instrument to good use. Guess I better thank Fulton for restringing it right before I took it back ;)

Going to the Wellness Center @ 7 to exercise. Aside from that I’ve got nothing planned but rest, relaxation and a little bit of GTA: San Andreas

see ya
