The difference between you and me? I make this post look GOOD…

w00t – new userpics!!!

Today was a good day. Got a veritable boatload of stuff done before noon this morning (cleaning, etc…), so I wouldn’t come home to too much of a mess, then went over to Animal Kingdom to check out the Passholder Preview of Expedition Everest. The lady next to me seemed to do enough screaming for the both of us (…it’s a rollercoaster, by the way…) – I, myself, was still a little tipsy by the time the thing ended, though! Intensity probably compares to any other Disney rollercoaster – Big Thunder Mtn., Splash Mtn., etc… – and really, that’s fine because I couldn’t handle much more than that anyways (sorry, Busch Gardens…). Nonetheless, the attention to detail from the waiting line to the scenery on the coaster itself is immaculate as usual – I’ll never cease to be amazed by how much they put into even the most mundane of details. The “whole new world” effect alone makes it worth the admission price to me.

Also, it’s kind of weird now to have a giant, Himalayan mountain in the background of half of my pictures from around the park. Meh…

Anyways, spent the rest of the afternoon just walking around the trails, looking at animals and such. I can’t remember the last time I actually went to a zoo, so it was a nice change of pace. When the park closed, I went and had pizza with Kim, who I still can’t believe I hadn’t seen in over a year and a half. It’s kind of weird to think that she was one of the first people to welcome me to Florida, aside from Michael, that is. My how the time flies…

I’ve got a feeling that tomorrow’s going to be a busy day, but for the first time in a while, I actually feel like I was somewhat productive this weekend. I was up before noon on both days, my kitchen doesn’t look like the catastophe that it normally resembles at this point, and I even spent some time outside! What is this world coming to???

sick and tired of being sick and tired…

Why can’t I find any creative minds that have any sense of responsibility to their work?

It seems like for every creative venture that I try to explore with another person, I end up doing all of the work and/or pulling my hair out trying to “motivate” them, while their interests opt to come and go as it suits them (or their resumes). I dream big and can’t do everything by myself, but I always end up cutting things sort or eventually killing the project altogether because people are just fucking lazy. I can only imagine how some of my ideas past could’ve turned out, if only I’d had another equally ambitious person involved to help carry their share of the load.

It’s not fair that I can’t dream outside of the box because I can’t depend on people.

old school 101

I dug into the archives for a little gaming circa 1990 and played some Final Fantasy this evening (the PS1 enhanced version, not the real original). Apparently the last time I played, I’d been putting off doing the whole Earth Cave thing because there’s a lot of pain in the ass monsters down there, so I took about an hour and buzzed through all of those. Whooped Lich in about three minutes flat … he hardly had time to lay a hand on me … and then I reluctantly decided that it was time to put down the controller and get back to work… 🙁

Is it just me or do weeks seem to be going by really quickly these days? I feel like I don’t even count the actual days anymore, just whether or not I have to pay rent again on a given week. You know it’s bad when you find yourself asking, “What day is it?” more than a couple of times in a given week! I think I need a vacation.

No, not one of those – a REAL vacation this time! I don’t care what it costs … I just need to get away for a while. Any suggestions?
