A few months ago I got a phone call from a guy that I used to work with.
He told me that he had recommended me to a contractor as an expert on EDI.
I said that was fine and pretty much let it drop after that.
Then last night I got a phone call from this guy. Apparently they want me to work nights and weekends from home getting their EDI system set up. And I'll be getting paid BIG money to do this. So basically, I work whatever hours I want to work, I send in an invoice, I get paid a big sum of money.
HOW FREAKIN' SWEET IS THAT???
Well tonight is my first night of working, so I'm pretty excited about it.
Once I get home from my regular job I'll grab some dinner and start working on my new job.
If I could only eliminate the need for sleep.
I've decided to start something that probably seems lame but what the hell it's my blog.. I'm gonna start posting lyrics to songs that I think are really good.
The first song I'm going to post is Here's to the Halcyon by Old 97's. I'm a huge fan of this band and their latest album Blame it on Gravity hasn't disappointed me so far. It's a little unusual for me to like this type of song since it has such an overbearing Christian ilk, it even sounds like some form of electo-bluegrass, but nevertheless; I love it.
Here's to the Halcyon - Old 97's - Blame it on Gravity
Get me through this Lord and I'll do anything you say
Live right ,read the good book, I'll settle down and pray
When Gabriel blows his horn I know things might not go my way
Get me through this Lord an I'll do anything you say
Pluck me from this driftwood Lord I'll be a better man
Raise me from the deep sea in the palm of your great hand
Let me see tomorrow and I'll try to understand
How the sinking of my little vessel fits into your plan.
Here's to the Halcyon
Forever may she rest
At the bottom of the ocean
For the good Lord knows best
You made her from lumber
And you gave her to the sea
Now good Lord what do you
Propose to do with me.
Get me through this Lord and I'll devote my life to you
Things look pretty bleak right now but I know you'll come through
I've squandered my good fortune and my other fortune too
Get me through this Lord and I'll devote my life to you
I cannot change my past mistakes
I've led a life devoid of virtue
Either way, the man I am
Is dead and gone even though I know
The past can come around to hurt you
Get me through this Lord and I will never drink again
I'll pour over my Bible and I'll pour out all my gin
I'll prove to you a sinning man can turn his back on sin
Gimme some fresh water Lord, I'll never drink again
Here's to the Halcyon
Forever may she rest
At the bottom of the ocean
For the good Lord knows best
You made her from lumber
And you gave her to the sea
Now good Lord what do you
Propose to do with me.
Here's to the Halcyon
Forever may she rest
At the bottom of the ocean
For the good Lord knows best
You made her from lumber
And you gave her to the sea
Now good Lord what do you
Propose to do with me.

Long time, no Blog
I haven't posted anything to the blog in a long time. That's kind of my modus operandi. I tend to start things then lose interest then pick them back up again. I used to take Ritilin, but I got tired of the sparkles in my brain so I just live with it now.
Lunchbox got a new 50" plasma TV yesterday and I helped him install it.
Lunchbox and I watched Spiderman 3, I hated it and so did lunchbox.
Lunchbox, tired of being morbidly obese, signed up for a surgery to make him lose weight. It's called Laparoscopic Gastric Band, Lap-Band for short. Basically they're going to tie a rubberband around his stomach to make it smaller. Once the surgery is done, he won't be able to eat more than 4 ounces of food at a meal. He's had to go through a lot of prelimenary procedures and councelling sessions and seminars before he was approved. The surgery is going to be June 9th. I guess this means I'll have to come up with a new nickname for him since he won't be fat anymore. He's a drummer, so I might start calling him "Sticks".
I finished the latest version of the program I write for work. Now I'm feeling kind of depressed. I always get this way when I finish a project. I get so involved in the project that when it's over I don't really know what to do with myself.
I took 2 days vacation to go to an Eddie Izzard stand up show this week, but I ended up not going to see Izzard because one of my friends needed help moving a 50" plasma TV. I could have gone back to work for those two days but I figured I've already done all the paperwork, I'm gonna enjoy two days of lazy bliss; and enjoy them I have.
