Update: yep even more...

So soon I am going to setup a simple alias for my friends and family within this blog. Basically it will be a simple email address, and as long as your phone can send txt and sms messages you can use it.

Basically as part of a personal project I am putting together, it will allow you to share your own pictures with me and everyone else. This pictures will be made public so lets keep them PG rated (or R rated is fine too) and make you it is something you want to send before hitting "send".

I will supply directions for setting this up, it's super easy. Just remember that your standard data plan for txt'ing and charges apply.

Monday

it's been a long one

Flickr feed added...

To the right below the Twitter feed is the new Flickr feed. I've already added a good deal of pictures to it already. Just click on one of the pictures and it will display in a new window within your browser. If you have any technical issues feel free to comment and I will take a look.

The feed is also set to grab pics I send to it with my phone while I'm out.

more to come...

So for those who actually come to visit this blog will notice I've slowly been integrating more features into the blog. Most of these features are being pulled from other social networking site to which I belong.

One example is Twitter. Twitter is essentially a real time (or as close as it can be) widget just to the right (your right, meaning over there ----->) that will be pulling updates I can send from my phone, anywhere. Usually they are fairly pointless, but if you are interested, they are there.

I've also setup the blog to receive pics and videos from my phone. Since I am fairly mobile, I found this was the best way for everyone to keep track of what I am doing and where I am going. Soon I will be adding my Facebook and Flickr account to the blog so you'll be able to see more of my pictures and such.

This has definitely been a bit of a learning process as most of the other features I am adding aren't necessarily designed to work with blogger and mobile devices, but I've been doing alright so far.

So aside from the page updates...

Life's been good, if not somewhat boring. I don't go out all that much anymore really. When I do it's usually with other single guys I know from work. We all work in different groups in the company, but we all share the same experiences for the most part. Most of my close friends are either in serious relationships, married, or married with children. I am happy for all of them really. However being this, I don't really get invited out to many activities with them, and I fully understand this. Although I'm not technically single, I do live on my own and probably will remain doing so for many many years to come. That's just how it is.

Unfortunately Chino isn't a great conversationalist. I love my buddy more than anything, but he isn't very good at golf, and isn't big on bars.

Either way I am planning some trips here soon. I am hoping to visit my dad in MO sometime soon. I was hoping for the weekend of the 4th but that's not looking likely. I have about 2 weeks of paid vacation to use up here soon. What do you think I should do with it.

See the little comment icon down there? Yeah you can leave me comments and suggestions down there...feel free to use it.

spring is here...

Yep, Spring is finally here. After a long dreary, cold and wet Winter here in Washington, the sun has finally come out of hibernation. I am really looking forward to this Spring/Summer. I am going to be looking at taking my first vacation...ever, as an adult. I am going to be looking at homes to buy and I look forward to many good times with Chino and I going out for walks.

As far as the single life is going. I'm having a great time with it honestly. However I will say it's had it's ups and downs, with that, I am definitely done with this internet dating crap. Trough, kaput, adios, dasvidana.

Granted I dont have much of an issue meeting women at all, this has never been the problem. Meeting decent women? That's a different story.

With my recent experience I had one girl sleeping in my bath tub after going into a huge crying fit because she couldn't sleep due me and Chino's snoring...wtf? Another women I met seemed nice enough, but apparently thought we were in a relationship after only talking for 30minutes on the phone.

The next day I received 7 text messages on my cell, and about 10 emails. Each getting progressively more needy and dysfunctional as the next. They went from "Hey how was your morning, was great talking to you!" to "Hey me again, just wondering what's up?!" to "Wow, you are kind of a jerk, why are you ignoring me?" Now had we actually been dating, this would have been the shortest relationship in history. We literally dated, moved in together, got married and divorced in a period of 14 hours...worst of it is we never even met.

Anyhow...I look forward to a nice relaxing summer, boating on Lake Union, walks with the dog and a cubic ass load of work ;)

I promise to update this more often. I also apologize for the resolution on the pics I post. I am actually capturing them from my phone and send them via MMS message to my blog, which then posts them automagically.

take is easy internets.
