I met a guy this weekend! He is real cute and real smart, I think I like him...but I feel like I have been single for SO long that I don’t know what the next step should be.
The meeting was perfect he was singing karaoke at the bar, had a great voice and I said hello. He came over and sat with us at our table and proceeded to enjoy several of my martinis. We had a good time and he seemed interested in me, so I asked him to dinner. To my amazement he called me the next day! At some point in the conversation I asked him when he would be going out again and he said "Wednesday, when we have dinner” It was again perfect.
So I took him to dinner last night. We went to the most fabulous little restaurant in Mesa, called Red, White and Brew. We had a great dinner, good conversation and I would say a great first date. After dinner we went over to the Starbucks and talked some more. He told me all sorts of things about him and I told him enough about me to find out that the things we have in common, are things that I don’t necessarily talk about very often. It was like we both have the same secret...
As we were leaving he told me that he had a very good time and would love to see me again. I agreed and then he suggested that I allow him to take me to the Phoenix Art Museum on Saturday. He wanted to teach me how to "BS about the art” How FRIGGIN cute is that! I agreed and offered to call him tonight when he got home from work. He walked me to my car, which was very sweet and I gave him a hug and a peck on the lips...okay two pecks on the lips. I would have kissed him but was a little bit afraid. He didn’t try to kiss me and it felt awkward. So I left it at that.
I have been thinking about him most of the day and I think it was him in my dream last night, although that could have been Josh Duhamel (Danny McCoy from Las Vegas). My greatest fear is that I will scare him away, not that it would make that much of a difference at this point, after being single this long, I could probably last a little longer...
I decided just last week that I was ready for a relationship, even had a discussion with a friend about that very subject. Then suddenly here he is and I don’t know what to do.
I think that I am going to make it through this weekend with him and then ask him to go with me and my sister to Pookies for a drag show on Thursday. Then if my sister loves him and I still feel the same way, Ill try to take things to the next level... but what does the "next level" involve?????? Is that when I kiss him, or is that when I take him to the parking lot and steam up the windows of a car??? Maybe both??
Anyways, wish me luck...I think I found a keeper. |

WOW! I haven’t been around for a while. There must be truth to the statement that hiding can become addictive. So much has happened this summer. I don’t even know where to start. I am working for a firewall company and I am a certified "Network Security Administrator" (woo hoo) Still working on the CCIE.
Have a new dog, Princess Martini, she is a brindle miniature pit and feisty as all get out. I love that little bitch. She kicked Tec out of the bed, which I think is funny. She knows how to climb the block wall out back...but has only done it twice. I got a ticket last week because she jumped the fence and scared the crap out of some guy. Animal Control called me at work and told me they were waiting for me to come home so they could write me a ticket, or they would take her to lock up. She was so cute in the back of that truck though...I laughed at her for getting caught. HAHAHA
That’s about all that’s on my mind right now. Well other then trying to configure this guys firewall to allow H323 traffic without using a SIP server. What is switching the traffic??? of course he doesn’t know. Why would he.
Getting an escalation from India, gotta go |

When I was a kid, I remember I used to LOVE doing the dishes! Yes, that’s right, LOVE! I remember getting so excited after dinner that I would practically beg my mother to let me help her. In fact, I think I did beg.
I also remember the day that all changed. The day I lost that feeling... It was the day my mother made me do the dishes on my own.
Looking back at those times, I recognize a very important part of my development in action. It is the most basic example of the philosophy that shapes my life today. I have no problem working WITH someone to accomplish something. I will do anything for anyone and I don’t care how much work it takes or what I get out of it. I thrive off the satisfaction that something got done and I was a part of that. I will not however, work FOR someone. Fuck that! I work FOR me, WITH you or IM OUT!
So there you have it. I quit my job. I was tired of the people there going out of their way to avoid responsibility, spending more time "passing the buck" then doing actual work. I think I heard some ware that indecision does 10 times more harm then the wrong decision, and maybe I am a fool, but I believed it...still do.
They were making me hate computers, and worse, hate computer users. I was downright mean to some of those people and I feel bad about it, but I was all alone and they weren’t paying me enough to be their super star...I was backed into a corner all alone every time I visited someone’s desk.
So I’m off to new adventures, but can no longer say "I work for an Electronics Manufacturing Company” Now, I just work for myself.
Hope all is well, I miss you all!

Well, it is all coming together, FINALY! Although I moved into my condo 5 weeks ago, I have been hold up in the bedroom for the last month. Since I had no living room furniture, I went from my desk to my bed and that was about it.
So now, after about a week of non-stop shopping (something I highly recommend) I have a living room, complete with TV and Stereo...o ya and some pink couches. I have also put together my office and my bedroom. The bathroom is basically complete and the kitchen is just missing a table. You should see the dishes I picked out. It is white stoneware, with blue lines about an inch from the boarder. Then to accent that I got some cobalt blue glass serving bowls and a whole set of Cobalt Blue Pyrex. It is so cute!
I finally feel like things are coming together, but the best part is...I earned all of it. A huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders, and I still have so much more work to do.
My heart is mending, my smile widening, my shoulders broadening, and my stomach flattening...O and my...never mind. But ya, life is good and I sure aint heard no fat lady.
I have 2 weeks before my Cisco test, wish me luck! I just have to remember that Proxy ARP is a waste of bandwidth and route flapping is for armatures.
I miss you all so very much and hope to see you soon. My number hasnt changed so feel free to call. |

| Who would EVER use a G2 again!!!! |
[Feb. 5th, 2004|02:44 am] |
ok...ok...ok...I know you all will think I have something very VERY wrong with me, BUT I am SOOOOOOOO excited that Pilot just released the "G6" They havent even reached the stores yet, so I had to order them from the pilot web site. It is just like a G2, but a BIG FAT version! woo hoo!
and now I dont know that a story of my life can follow that kind of excitment, so maybe Ill write something about me tomorrow. |

|
| has it been a month? |
[Oct. 30th, 2003|03:44 am] |
Yes it has. I am still alive! Work work work, I think that’s all I do. O wait...I got to school full time too! I knew there was a reason I don’t get out much.
Let me re-cap October...if I may...
Still updating computers.
The guy I was working with disappeared ( I swear I had nothing to do with that)
Someone moved into my room....
I fell in love, like BAD...head over heals, kinda shit. I have no idea what got into me. But in tribute to Marshall.......DAAAMN boy! You are the most amazing person I have ever met. I hope you stay in that little world you live in, because I don’t know that Phoenix can handle another princess. You did things that no other person in this world has ever done to me! Yes, the sex was....well...it was...beyond comprehension...but more then that, you broke into my heart only to give me the most passionate kiss I have ever imagined. Then you took off like a bat out of hell. I guess I don’t blame you, I would probably run too. Anyways, I will miss you terrible for about another week, then Ill never think about you again. After all, I am still gay.
The crack house I live in got infested with tic's and Tony’s dog got its first bath in over a year. He is not quite as disgusting as he once was....but still the nastiest dog I have ever met. Tec did very well with the "vaccination" and has completely cleared up. I have returned his privilege of sleeping on the bed, and that is where he is now...looking at me like I should be joining him. He is sooo cute.
My uncle from Texas came into town, and his wife had an all out battle with my two aunts one night, in front of my grandma...Elie knocked her out by punching her in the jaw, and Bea lost a clump of hair. I think the Springer show will be calling soon.
Dads cousin from NY came into town as well, and told me that any time I want to go to NY, I will have a place to stay....he might be seeing me sooner then he is expecting.
Sister, Mom and Dad all went to NY, and Danielle totally conned some guy in China town out of some Louis Devon shit. I love her. she also had me on the verge of a heart attack, first telling me that some guy beet her up, then that she got busted for shop lifting. NEITHER of which happened, and I didn’t talk to her for 2 weeks.
My ass hurts like hell (thank you Marshall) went to the Dr and he said I should continue taking percocet for pain and if anything develops to come in and schedule another surgery. Its kind of fun to get so much percocet...but even more fun if you take two at a time! (hehehehe) O, for those of you who don’t know...there is nothing wrong with my ass, but it does get a little bit inflamed when.....well never mind. I can’t talk about it...causes me great anxiety, and that’s what the xanex is for, right? hahahahahahahahaha
I can’t think of much else. Server 2003, is great...Office 2003 is awesome (not sure Mircosoft made this)
Im off to bed for a nap before I go to work in the morning.
Those of you I miss, I miss dearly
Those of you I dont...why are you still reading my journal? GET A LIFE!
O ya, happy halloween. I have had enough candy....everyone send me a trick. |

| no post = no life? |
[Oct. 1st, 2003|06:28 pm] |
kind of lost interest in the journal. Been keeping busy, work is going well. My contract was extended, which is a very good thing. Going to school still, soon Ill have a CCNP and this semester I’m getting a PIX firewall certification. My life is so saturated in computers, its scary. It should pay off though!
I have 2 exams tomorrow, so I gotta get back to studying. Might post again soon...might not. |

| I guess I do have time. |
[Sep. 2nd, 2003|03:38 pm] |
I don tusually feel comfortable doing much on thses computers, but since today the plant is sut down, no one is here. So I can get away with just about anything. HEHEHE
Not that I cant do that when there are people here, I just think it looks bad to have a web page or other program open while someone is waiting to have their desk back.
Work is hella cool. Its repetative, yes, and kinda boring...but I love it. Im updating computers, verifying subscription data and loading McAfee on a whole shit load of computers. Its only a contract....but I think I can make it last a little longer then necessary....
I actually like it so much, that I am going through these things real fast...and that is no good when they are expecting this to take a few months. I could probably finish it by the end of september, but Ill likely finish up the second week of october...its not the most fabulous of jobx, but its going to look damn good on my resume.
I dont know who started telling people I work for Dell....I do not, I am working for a company called Varian in their electronics manufacturing devision. they build circut boards.....I could have so much fun in this place.
k, gotta roboot |

Well thats easy, Ive been to Salt Lake City, to Las Vegas, got fired from a job and hired at another. Ive talked on the phone a few thousand minutes and fell in love all over again....not with the phone with a person. My motherboard had to be shipped to San Francisco, were a very special faggot exchanged it for a new one and sent it back to me. TWO WEEKS I HAD NO COMPUTER!
So thats the last few weeks in a nut shell. O and by the way, I went to the Dr yesterday and he was kind enough to write all the prescriptions I asked for...and then some. The only down side, is I need them again. He wanted me to go to the hospital, but I dont have the $$$. Im kind of scared......so many things are fucked up right now. I guess you could say it is one giant PAIN IN THE ASS!
more later, if I remember to write....I dont have hours of free time at work any more. |

| WOW! |

Its the wicked web of drama,
its the fake ass mother fuckers,
its me.
That is why I have to leave. I live my own life here, and I want someone to live with, but there isnt anyone...at least no one I have found...I am not going to leave anyone or anything behind, Im sure Ill be back and fourth on a fairly regular basis...buddie passes are a wonderful thing.
There was no reason to cry this time, Im doing something good, I think...And besides I can fix your computer remotly!
Im scared, Im excited, Im nervous, Im anxious...its going to take a plethera of pills to pull though this one....
but seriously, I love you all very much...I am sure Ill talk to my family just as much if not more then I do now.
My firends, Ill never be out of your reach, I either have had or will have a talk with each and everyone of you before I go...and one last kiss good-bye.
Ill leave you with this song in my head, and my heart
Sometimes,The Sound Of Goodbye
Is louder than any drumbeat...
Every face I see is cold as ice
Everything I touch is pain
Ever since I lost imagination
Like a stream that flows into the sea
I am lost for all eternity
Ever since you took your love
Away from me...
Sometimes,The Sound Of Goodbye
Is louder than any drumbeat
I will be fine. Well, either that or the Mormon Temple will be burning down...
HAHAHAHA
(would you put it past me?)
LOVE YOU!

So I dont even have the job yet, but Dawn has already found some to trade shifts with me. the only position they currently have open is for a graveyard shift. Which I decided would be good enough to get me out of phoenix, but Dawn is already getting me switched with some girl who wants to work graveyard so it looks like Ill be working days, with Dawn...so we can carpool to work.
Im a little concerned about the living situation, I dont want Michael to hate me for taking Dawn out of his house...and I need to make sure we have an apartment for me to move into. I sure aint gonna pull up in front of Michaels house with my u-haul! Im thinking I will take as much as I can on the 1st, and then when I come back on the 18th, I will drive back in a U-Haul. |

I have an interview set up for Friday, and Ill be flying out Friday morning! I am so excited and kind of scared...Im going to be off on my own, but for real this time. It going to be David vs the world. I hope I am successful!
I started working on the roommates computer last night. Spent 2 hours reinstalling the OS and removing the 4 AV programs she was running. I was so tired but she needed some major help. I got to sleep all night!! Didnt get up till 12:30 and made it to work on time...as usual.
Im going to miss all my firends when I leave phoenix, and I hope you all keep in touch. I hear they installed Innernet in Salt Lake City, and Ill be able to chat with you all like usual.
I had a long talk with someone last night...okay well I had a long talk with 2 people, and both conversations were good....but the second long talk I had gave me a perspective I didnt have before.
I tell you that boy never fails to amaze me!
Love you all very much. |

| OMFG ITS HOT! |
[Jul. 21st, 2003|02:22 pm] |
ok, so I know it gets hot in Phoeinx, and I know that I should be used to it....but this has to be someones idea of a realy cruel joke. I sweat so much on the way to work that the 44oz lemonaid I drank is not making me have to use the big boys room! Thats just sick and wrong, and I thought I would share that with the Live Journal Community.
