  My anal retentive need to complete things is appeased for the moment....Now what to do next....  I wonder how many tests are on the site........

   

   

   

  And just out of curiosity OKC....how does one answer 33 more questions than even exist?

So my Aunt just found out yesterday the scope of the degree I'm going for.  And almost her first comment was "I know a guy that works at NASA doing roughly that same type of stuff.  I'll pass your name onto him once you graduate." 

In itself a fairly harmless comment, except that my Aunt really does know people like that.  So, upon hearing that, my first thought was hey it could be fun.  Then I ran through the implications of a position like that.  

First off....It's fucking NASA...like seriously big heavy duty shit.

Second..I'm a hippy and let's face it...computer programmers working at NASA have to be the God level geekdom.  This could be an interesting mix of personalities.  

Then we come to the third factor in this equation.  The biggest responsibility I've ever had in my professional career was the health and well being of mentally challenged youth.  But, even at that point not to the degree where I could hold their lives in my hands.  Now I don't know what programming her buddy does there..but, I'm not sure if I could take on the responsibility of, "Oh, I put a 1 in the wrong place and the shuttle blew up."  

 

I really do think at times I over-think things......

Last cigarette 10/19/09 6am...3 hours and 45 minutes as a non.  I know it sounds cheesy, but I quit before the same way.  I literally drove my roommate downtown this morning and it suddenly just struck me, "You can quit now."  So I'm officially a non-smoker again...assuming I don't go and get a job as a doorman at a downtown bar like I did last time.  Six months without a cigarette...burned away in one week of occupying a spot with smokers passing me for 5-6 hours a night.  Oh well self-employed and working from home now so no worries of that.
Wish me luck ya'll.   And if you can spare it...wish my friends patience. :)

Ok, I just got off the phone where I was given an offer.

A friend of my mothers is going off to Iraq and had asked her about pet-sitting while she's gone. Immediately my mothers first response was to offer me to house-sit for this gal.

Now generally, most folks would jump at an opportunity like the one offered. No rent, house payments, utilities for 6 months. Instead, my first response was, what's wrong with the place?

I really can't figure that response out from myself. I've always had such a nomadic spirit/lifestyle, that the only negative an opportunity like that would offer to me would be being somewhere for 6 months.

In truth it disturbs me a little, as it makes me feel like I'm getting used to the idea of being in one locale for long periods. Yet, my other lifestyle choices still remain as free-spirit as ever.

So just from that one phone call, I'm starting to feel like I'm becoming a paranoid, settler. What's next? Willingness to wear a suit and tie?

Ok, I think I could pull it off.

Comments? Opinions? Advice? Flames? Suggestions of where I'm going to be able to afford as much "hair product" as this "do"'ll take?

Less Aggressive

, check, I'm usually a pacifist(never piss a Leo off though, especially through our group of friends/family).

More Artistic

, check, I fix things, write, and occasionally even sculpt for hobbies. I can live with that.

More Kinky

, check, guess you'd have to know me to understand that one.

Less Old Fashioned

, I guess us modern hippies are the new trend, or that just fits really well with the art and kink.

More Pure

, err....brakes please. Kinky...and Pure...Maybe together that just means purely kinky. Otherwise it has me stumped.

Less Scientific

..Yeah...not sure I get that one either...Logic and analytical processes are my friends.

More Competitive

, check, c'mon find me someone more competitive! I dare ya!





I love the award system here, it's so fun to try and figure out.

Ok, I'm sure some of you looked at that title and said...don't you mean who?

I'll stick with a what. It's only a descriptive screen name.

Years ago when I was lot younger, I liked to burn things. It gave me a happy happy feeling. It's been a long time since anything exactly matched that feeling. But, once you get so old...people tend to view burning things the way I did as, well...illegal. Yes, technically it was back then as well, but I couldn't get in as much trouble back then.

Years ago when I first got on the dreaded AOL dialup is when those feelings first hit me. So it became my old AOL SN. To symbolize the feeling of "loss" for that feeling I used to have.

It really truly means nothing more than that. I'm not an evil 27 year old arsonist. But, I'm hell of a lot of fun around the 4th of July, New Years, and basically any other moment that it's socially acceptable to play with highly combustible items.

I've considered taking my experience into modern activities, but haven't gotten around to seeking a high scale rocketry, or pyrotechnics license yet. Honestly, don't even know where to begin. In the meantime it does serve me well with camera special effects. Though, even those I'm careful with as..some of it is questionable legality..and that's not the brightest thing to film.

Anyway, that's the origin of the name for those who were/are curious.

Ta!

Ok OkCupidians... I'm having a dilemma tonight, and figured I'd put this up here for opinions... This is everyone's favortie ex-Pyro This is my dilemma.. Yes/No? Yes/No? Now keep in mind. I just said asking opinions, I'm still a free thinking soul. So while your opinions and advice will be taken into account. No guarantee they'll be what I do. I've decided it's time for something new. I've been growing these out for probably about 5 years now. Debating either a new hairstyle or new ink. Trouble with ink is the piece I'll get is a full back mural. So that's a bit of a choice. Oh well..discuss!

93% Match

96% Friend, 0% Enemy


That means 4% of me is indifferent toward myself.

And 7% of me makes no sense..

Or it just means I haven't looked into their "processes" enough yet and I just haven't answered enough questions for their math to catch up. Groovy!

Ok, yeah I've been a member of other sites similar to this one before. Usually it ended up in a few stalkers or a relationship that went bad. And instead of doing the whole blocking and ignoring thing. I just give up the site. Here's a secret...there's a million(ok maybe just a few hundred) sites like these.

Wasn't really much of a point in sharing that with everyone, but there ya go.

So onto new beginnings. Still checking out the features here. And in lovely insomniac moments doing things that truly make me look sad like burning through questions at an alarming rate. Posting to a journal(don't look for too many of them here). I write in a real journal(I swear I really am a straight male though) and frankly..the e-versions just don't tend to hold my interest. It's like blogging...the stuff you write..the only people who want to read it...are just as bored as you, or stalkers.

So here I am laying on the futon...my dog snoring away at my feet, adult swim on in the background. Clicking through questions, surfing forums, and occasionally surfing back through OkStalkers that I really haven't figured out the proper ways to say hi to yet.

I'm sure one of these nights I'll figure that out and spend an hour or two saying hi. But until then I'll just keep clicking through questions. And finding out new things on the site(seriously..got to question 275 before I even noticed I could skip some).

PS..all that really was random rambling...if you actually read it all...then possibly you're even more bored at the moment than I am.

PSS. Proper punctuation is for those who really are interested in people reading what they've written. Here...not so important...my script I'm procrastinating about doing...only important enough that the editor can fix it properly.
