I'm hoping the new colors will help TC get some more traffic again. The most popular color since I added the option is Blue. No real surprise to me, that's why most of my web sites are blue. At first the original Pink wasn't doing well at all. However, now I'd say that Pink is probably the second most popular color.

Slightly changed tags. Variety of colors coming soon. You will be able to pick something other than pink! .. And new features eventually.

EDIT New colors are live on the site.


Get your own CrushTag!


Actually, I just worked it out, need to add it into the site, but I think they look kind of nice.

Andy is looking for a job if anyone knows of any. Preferrably web related, or networking.. Or something. Anyone have any connections?

I've been working on TC lately. Decided I should try to tap into the traffic that it still gets, so I'm adding additional content and features to the site, and finally giving it a real layout instead of the slapped together one it has always had.

Logo is getting changed, and the tags themselves are getting changed slightly. I really like the new look of both.

Who knows what will come of any of it, but I'm hoping for a fantastic outcome. Hoping to get the new stuff rolling later in the week I guess.

I wish old plaster walls that are flaking and covered by a layer of wallpaper, and then a layer of paint.. weren't above my personal skillset. That, other than money, is the reason why the downstairs part of the building has halted.

It seems easy enough, repair the areas of plaster that are falling apart, scrape off the flaking paint, sand down the paint edges, prime with KILZ, and paint. That's my plan anyway. I guess it's just that once you get going it seems like a very large project. Scraping off paint is tedious, and I always end up scraping off A LOT more than I planned on, or probably need to. Meh.

I was down there tonight trying to be productive rather than stupid and wasting my life. Then the project got big. Part of me just wants to scrape off the VERY loose stuff, patch holes, and prime. Leave the paint edges, I think it'd kind of be cool. And hope that the paint doesn't peel off too quickly. heh.

Snow plows are dangerous!

Driving home on I-96 tonight wasn't that bad. I like driving when there's snow on the road rather than a 'maybe-it-is-maybe-it-isn't' lane of possible ice. I was going to make my move on a snow plow but then it threw up so much blowing snow that there was an instant whiteout. Sadly I got stuck behind him, following at a good distance so I could actually see.

A semi got into the fast lane to make his move eventually. With him kicking up snow and the plow too, I backed way off. Then to make matters worse a car came down the ramp to my right.. So I'm like 'haha, no' and I knew what was going to happen.

The car merges, but the Semi is kind of in both lanes since the road is so covered. And both the car and the semi are next to each other, gaining ground on the snow plow.. Then it happens. The plow hits another area and creates an instant whiteout. They both hit the brakes. Then, not being able to see, the semi drastically veers to the right just about slicing the car in half.. But apparently somehow missed him, so now I'm saying 'dude, I'm going to watch this semi plow off the side of the road..'

The semi went so far over so quickly that he actually was in unplowed ditch area.. but somehow managed to stay on the road and everyone was okay.. Then the semi drove with his hazards on the rest of the way.. lol..

C25K Week 5
In theory, tomorrow I'm supposed to be doing week 5, day 3 of the Couch to 5K (C25k) program. Though I'm actually on week 6, as I had to repeat week 4 due to scheduling, or laziness, whichever you want to say.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a solid 20 minute jog, with no walking in between. I'm debating whether to skip it all together, or try w5d1 or w5d2 again.. Or just go for the 20 and see how long I can go. The longest I've ran so far has been 8 minutes, and that was yesterday.

Part of me feels like I could complete the 20 minutes even though I've been struggling so much with completing the exercises lately. My thought process is that with no walking in the middle I can just go for it. I feel like when I have to jog, and then walk, and then jog, and then walk, and such my mind takes over too much and I'm just waiting for the walks, and then when I'm walking I have too much time to freak out about getting going for another jog.

So anyway, guess I'll have to wait and see tomorrow. I'm probably going to be repeating week 5 entirely though. In the beginning I was bummed about taking things slow or having to repeat things, but now I'm okay with it. I'm just going at my own pace and doing what I have to do.

I plan to keep with this though, and even hopefully enter a 5k race or two in 2009. Depending on how things go, maybe even a 10k. Just to finish, not to win. Regardless, it's fun to look back on the earlier weeks of the program and remember how hard they were for me, and now I feel like I could complete them very easily.

i am so fricken mad and upset

my backpack was stolen out of my car at jess's house. yes ii should have locked my car but i forgot to seriously for the like the only time ever. i never forget to lock it.

and i was even parked inside of her garage. who does that?

yeah and everything was in it... including an assignment that is a complilation of events that we had to go to throughout the semester with signed sheets by deaf people and/or hosts who were at the events. things i can't replace.

and papers i wrote that i saved on a flashdrive that was also in the backpack

and videos i recorded that were saved on a flashdrive that was in the backpack

and fucking books that are fucking expensive that i would have continued to use in the following like... 2 semesters. because we continue to use our books because all our classes are based on sign language.

god

i am so pissed and upset and i seriously take this as a sign just like i do everyting because ibelieve in that crap. i take it as a sign that maybe i'm not meant to be going for sign language because now my grades are probably not goign to be good enough to pass if i can't turn in my journal.

great

dfa;lfjdl;skfja;sdlfj;aksjf;asdjfl; fuck and i dont want to be here at work . fuck this. and i swear to god i'm gonna fuckin throw a boulder at this stupid radio that i can't reach because it is playing christmas music and it is so fucking stupid.adsfd;skfjadl;sfjd;sfjasdlfajdksfjadl;sfjadl;sfjdfj

Look at earth from outer space
Everyone must find the place
Give me time and give me space
Give me real, don't give me fake

Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Give me time give us a kiss
Tell me your own Politik

Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes

Give me one, cause one is best
And in confusion, confidence
Give me peace of mind and trust
And don't forget the rest of us
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Wounds that heal and cracks that fix
tell me your own politik

Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Just open up your eyes

And give me love over, love over, love over this
And give me love over, love over, love over this



Happy Election Day!

my prozac has taken the day (maybe week) off. I am in the worst mood ever and i would seirously suggest not talking to me today because I am bound to explode.

when someone tells you they are comig over at 1 and decide not to come to oh who knows... THREE or something? maybe you should let the home owner know. that'd be great thanks.
