fire up the pony

This is my first blog (unless you want to count the two "test" blogs and the blank one). I don't know who will read this, but I figured it might be cathartic or something. Today was a long boring day at work. We had a cool burrito lunch supplied by the company, but it doesn't even come close to easing the fact that I think I'm in desperate need of some sort of a vacation.

Of course, I'm in a bit of a foul mood because my stupid G4 that cost fucking thousands of dollars is now officially dead and it less than a year old! Now I have to jump through the many hoops I'm sure are ahead of me if I am to get this computer up and running without any cost to me. It just sucks not only because it's a lot of money and hassle, but I was really, really looking forward to using a faster machine and listening to music through the apple pro speakers. But of course, this whole situation just points to how nice it is to have a reliable system you know inside out - the new G4 is OS ten, so I have no idea what's going on under the hood.

Just a little while ago I started feeling melancholy. I miss my old friends. They're all so busy doing their thing and so am I that we never get to see each other. Sometimes I wonder if I should make more of an effort to see them, but I know that family, children, and career are pretty much it when it comes the big picture I suppose. I just hope that I will still be able to find time to do the stupid things I enjoy now when I find that significant other. Always the little things that matter...I need to find a hobby - like posting blogs or something.
