headaches

I have been experiencing headaches almost everday for a couple of weeks now.  I think I could deal with the headaches if that was it but they are usually followed by a disorentation and a foggy brain. Basically I can't think straight or concentrate. The worse part is the fact that I am behind in my online economics class and they seem to hit as soon as I try to get caught up. The semester is in high gear and I am trying to finish the Master's in history, getting my paper finalized, and working on the M.B.A. and just can't do so well when I can't even make it through a few hours of study without this happening.  I go in for my physical on Thursday and hopefully can figure something out then.

Remember when

Sometimes when I am really bored at work I will go to the xbox live forums. I watch a desk from Midnight to 8 a.m. . It gets pretty quite from say 4 a.m. to about 6 or so. Anyways the forums make me laugh a  lot the Timmies really are funny. Some guy posts how much a game stinks and the flamers start saying you only say that because you suck at it.

Anyways the other day I was reading people complaining about achievments not unlocking. First of all I can kinda of understand this because I have a certain sense of accomplishment when that little message pops up. The thing that made me laughh was one poster said I wasted three weeks and then didn't get the accomplishment. So I thought well I remember when you played games to play them hence the following list.

Remember when the only accomplishment you got from a game was the fact that you beat it and yet you had no proof because there was nothing showing you did.

Remember waiting in line to play Pac-Man for an hour or more then only playing like 10 minutes and getting back in line all over again.

Remember gasp actually having to search for the song you wanted to listen to by hitting FF or Rewind.

How about when they actually made Tape decks that skipped to the next song that blew my mind.

When you could buy LPs at the mall.

When they were still called albums and LPS.

Cassette, 8 trak, or LP

Having to carry a disk that held less information then the flash drives do and they only worked on certain computers.

When computer games were bought for youer specific one.

C-64

laser discs

Beta

The biggest fear in school was fist fights and not guns

The first time you saw/heard a cd

When you never rated a game based on graphics because frankly now we know they sucked

Super Tecmo bowl

Mario Brothers

Arcades

Skating rinks being the place to go.

Let me hear an Amen if you remember these things.

9 months smoke free

To start off if you never smoked you will not understand this blog if you have smoked you will know exactly what I am talking about.  The first question comes to m ind how long since I quit well if I go by weeks it is over 9 months. In all fairness, however, since I quit on Jan. 30th going by the physical day well I am shy of 9 months. I say I go for the more exciting number 9 months it is because every second in hell counts as an eternity. Simply put that first week should be counted as a month at least because it seemed like and eternity. After sputtering around for two years I have made it farther than I had in the past. Yet I am sitting here craving that puff even after all the torture quiting was when the stress of working on two gradaute degrees while working full time starts to weigh me down I am like oooohhhhh that would be so nice and relaxing. When I snap at people oh yea since I quit I am a surly old jerk sometimes especial if stressed or upset. Before I was like oh I just go light up and then I can deal now I snap at people for no reason. I swear some days I am this close to ripping someones head off.

Last weekend I almost went and bought a pack since Jan. 30th I have had half a cig and it did nothing for me  but I am still like oh I am so upset so stressed I need. Truth be told I need one about as bad as I need another ex wife really I don't need either. There it was this weekend because  a person who is supposed to be a close friend basically acted like I was nothing less then nothing nobody like I didn't exist. Add to that stresses of  and adoption that has dragged on for several years the fact that I have to testify against someone I  kinda know in court and the whole school thing.  Well I have finally figured out why people snap not really but my sanity some days is questionable. Then people who have never smoked go oh just don't do it don't get another cig you have quit haha. That is lunacy at its finest once a smoker always a smoker I say. Oh yea and Christmas is around the corner I will travel back to Colorado to see family who mostly smoke that should be fun.  People just don't get the whole addiction thing if they have never had one and they try to be helpful but the truth is they often make it worse well just don't do it indeed can I strangle you now really well ok maybe not but that sure is annoying well anyways addictions are hard to break and I feel better for having quit but I am sure I spent at least a month in hell. That is my little rant about some crazy thing called stress and life and well you get the picture.

working nights stinks

I got up around 10:30 tonight and turned on the t.v. to the Rockies Diamond backs game. Cooked some dinner and made lunch for work. Bottom of the fourth Rockies go ahead and I have about 35 minutes before I have to leave for work. I am lucky I live a few blocks from work and can walk it in a matter of minutes. So I relunctently head to the bathroom to shave and shower. I step out of the shower back to the t.v. and in my absence the Rockies have scored 4 more runs. Then I finally pull myself away to head to work. I missed my usual game time before coming to work oh well I guess. I usually play the 360 to relax before work sometimes it helps other times it just fires me up.

   I get to work and go to espn.com their stinking webcast isn't working. I go to a Denver radio station to be told that they can no longer carry sports online. Finally I got the webcast at espn to work. Now I missed the Diamondbacks score it is now 6-4 and then like that it was over and I missed so much of it. The Rockies have made history so far and I missed a lot because of my sleeping patterns.

I have a great job really but man it sure messes with my  ability to do other things like play the 360. When I am on half the time noone else is on because well frankly most people are out work at 9 a.m. not me I am at home relaxing after working my day.  Even on weekends when I try to sleep the same pattern I am getting when friends are ready for bed. It really is hard to find people who want to do stuff around 3 a.m.  and that is why working nights suck.
