Hangin out relaxing outside of the school...

Nick and I are at Nordaggios. Yep, we are drowning our sorrows in coffee. It's not too good tonight though. I feel bad because his "place" is shades of brown.

Why is there actually work at work? I thought work was just a place for adults to go to a sort of daycare. But you do some stuff and every now and then they pay you.

In my other jobs in the past, I had stuff to do and things would be either hard or fast paced, but eventually there would be some time where you could sit back and just relax.

I guess that's why they call it the "real world."

I am quickly accumulating so many various responsibilities that I wear about 4 or 5 different "hats." Not that I don't enjoy it, but I've never worked so hard before.

I'm actually very proud of my hard work. What brought me to think of all this? Today, I worked nonstop all day. Really! I even worked during my lunch and took a very small lunch break strictly in the name of replenishment.

But this week is special. It's not usually this busy, but it's our launch week and there are extra duties to be done. I really could have eased back, but I didn't want to come in this weekend.

Oh, I need some new jeans, and maybe some new shoes.

Currently drinking: Chai Train - 20 oz (I'm not sleeping tonight!)

What was I talking about? Oh, work... Yeah, I like some downtime, some time where I can just surf the internet or go to the bathroom for a longer period of time. If you don't know it, I love a good bathroom break. I may not even actually use it, but just the act of sitting there, I love.

Also, I don't want to seem lazy, but I'm just saying that I enjoy my downtime. Although, work all day does make the day fly by!

I need to post some pictures but I haven't really taken any recently. Just some with my Helio. You can check those out on my Flickr page (www.flickr.com/photos/scrappapervlog).

Did anyone switch over to Virb.com yet? Maybe not switch, but even sign up? Look for me if you did, I'll add you to my friends.

Nick is still here. It's a lot of fun having him around. Living in my place... It's so weird but so cool! He even helps clean! But that comes at the cost of breaking my new vacuum... I don't know what to think...

I told him he could ride my bike whenever he wanted and today he took it up to Turkey Mountain. He likes it!

Well, I better get going. Thats it for now!

Oh Gosh!

Geez people... someone goes a few months without updating their blog, and the whole world collapses!

Truth is, I've been busy hanging out with my friends. Cassidy, my old roommate came in from Colorado, and my brother Nick, came in from Delaware. They planned to stay from Saturday till Wednesday. Cassidy had to leave because of work, but Nick found a way to stay till Monday.

It was a lot of fun seeing Cassidy again. I got to take him by my work and show him around. I took Nick to work with me today. It's pretty boring up until the live show, so he went out for some coffee, then came back before the show. During the show he even helped!

Anyway, the heat has gotten more bearable here. It was actually quite nice yesterday! Although its a little humid right now...

Oh, Maggie moved in right across from us! It's so cool! I mean, it's not like Maggie hang out all the time, but it's fun having her around.

Also, just to let you know, this post is going to jump around quite a bit...

While Nick and I were surfing the net earlier today, we came across these pics.

Playstation 3 booth at some gaming convention (awesome!):















Pantone color coffee mug (even awesomer!):


















So what else is new? A lot I guess, it's just busy. I'm trying to maximize time with my friends but work just gets in the way! Ughh... I wish I was back in school... but got a paycheck... and didn't go to classes...

If you haven't checked it out, you need to visit Virb - www.virb.com
It's like MySpace (social networking) but I like it way better! It integrates my blog (updates post automatically), my Flickr account, Twitter, and it's just overall clean and cool looking!

Currently listening to: Teardrop - Massive Attack

Work has been busy because this week is launch week, but it's not too bad. I'm learning a lot, both from a technical standpoint and from a "learning how people think" standpoint.

I spend so much of my time at work either rendering or exporting or squeezing or uploading... My friend Justin at work helped me setup a thing on my laptop that lets me remotely access my computer at work from home or wherever. This comes in really handy when I have something exporting, and that will probably take a few hours, so I can leave early, then at home, just login and upload the files. I did it today, it works great!

Oh, before I forget, today after work, Nick and I went to McNellie's for lunch then to Dwelling Spaces (.com). At McNellie's, Nick got the charburger and I got the grilled cheese (with tomato and bacon). Then we cut them in half and split it. We also got half and half sweet potato fries and pub fries. Oh so good!

Currently watching: Becker (it came on after Seinfeld and King of Queens)

Nick and I just got back from QuikTrip with our milkshakes in hand. Glorious milkshakes...

I hope that is enough for now! Talk to you later!

A little bit of everything.

I don't have any real topic for this so I'll just dive right in. I had a decent fall on the Womble this year. Just bumped and bruised really but I guess I got a black eye. No one, including me, noticed it until my RA saw it 2 days later.
















Oh, here is a picture of Nick as I was driving back to school after a ride. He wanted to ride down Riverside but I had to run back to school. He actually looks kind of cool. Not!
















Here are some pics of my new tires. I love them! Thanks again Bob! I was going to try them out today, but I was too upset about ORU losing to Washington. Oh well.




















































This is what I'm working on in my Lightwave 3D class. It is a 3D rendering of a bedroom. Don't worry, it's still in pre-vis. I'm just getting an idea for everything.
















































Well, tomorrow I fly home for Spring Break. I am going to miss Tulsa. No, not going to "Miss Tulsa" going to miss TULSA. The weather has been really pretty decent and I just got new tires... starting to ride more... There are some cool trips planned on the COTM cycling calendar too. I guess I'll have plenty of time this summer when Jenni and I are here.

Jenni really wants to get into mountain biking too, which is great! What we would love to do is to both get new bikes. Mine is ok, but the crank arm is falling apart, the rear dropouts are stripped or something and its overall a little old. It not worth to replace everything either.

I also want to do a few races. Not to win, but that's the goal obviously, but I know it will make me a better rider overall.

I want to get the Specialized Epic and turn my Specialized Hardrock into a single speed. Then we would get Jenni either a ladies Epic or something similar.

You know how cool my van will be when I get it!? Remember that post a few posts ago...

I was just looking over my stickers... good ones! I heart NY... Estes Park (CO)... CHSP... RB... WOMBLE... maybe IMBA... I can't wait!

Well, I better go, but I may add more to this later. See ya!
