Rain rain rain

Work has comprised of a project for Blake (a guy in PB I met through Craigslist), a poster I'm working on for the Lifestyles for Sustainability Conference with Jamie Gates, and then a lot of planning for CityWise, Pleenk, Lateral Dynamics, and a proposal I've given to On Broadway Event Center. There are a few more in the works, but I haven't had a lot of actual work to do for a while - just preperatory stuff.

Key points of the weekend include... Friday night I went to Pokez Mexican Restaurant for Christie's b-day blow-out. I was curious who all was goign to show up since I've only known Christie through church and only for a few months - there ended up being around 20 people there and we took up about half the restaurant. It was good times. Definitely an eclectic group. Sorry to say, but this was the second time I've been underwhelmed with the food, though. It's a great place, fun, artsy, and interesting, but the sustanance needs some work. After Pokez we went to Heidi and Cassy's casa and just sat around and talked about all the great things we could be doing. You know, the norm. It was good though - I'm easy to please.







On Saturday I headed over to Brenda and Matt's place a bit before noon and we played Halo 2, ate Einstein's Bagels' bagels, and watched Scrubs until around 5pm. I came back home for a smidge then worked the first shift at the inclement weather shelter. It's been raining in San Diego for about the last week straight. The inclement weather shelter has been open for I believe the last 5 days in a row.

Sunday morning I hit church, then went to Stef's place and ate bagels that Shannon got in Hillcrest, played some Xbox with Stephen, went to Fry's with Scott, Jenn, Stef, and Stephen, then played more Xbox. Much destruction on Burn Out 3 and oddness in Oddworld was enjoyed. Stevie and I tried looking up how to softmod my Xbox without soldering anything or using a mod-chip, but I haven't had time to do much more research on this. I came back home, watched a game of AFL (Arena Football) on NBC (National Broacast Company) which is really lame, then went to the Wrights' abode for Simpsons. Michelle and I were the only guests. Not sure where everyone else was... hmm? We watched a couple episodes of Simpsons, King of the Hill, Family Guy, then ducked out after a few minutes of watching the SNL First 5 Years program. It being a Sunday night with a holiday the next day, I went over to Heidi and Cassy's place and watched them paint really pretty gold glittery stars to put on their ceiling. We then made a run to 7-Eleven and sat out on their porch until around 2am playing "Would you rather" and looking at the amazing view they have of downtown in the rain. Of course I had to put my off sense of humor to work and I think I scared a few of the girls at their place. I got a few "WHAT?!!? You can't SAY THAT!!!" and "Who the hell is this guy?!!?" comments. Not my fault they can't chose between making out with their own Grandmother or kicking a baby... or being married to a man two feet shorter than themselves or being shot in the butt every night at 6pm with an elephant tranquilizer. Some people need to be shaken up a bit, don't you think?

Although a late night was had the night before, I went out to the Bean Bar with Renee on Monday morning for an hour or so (9:30am-ish) then went to Chelsea's where we met with Roger. We then went to Niko's for lunch and visited Jaimie Auginstine at the Scripps Hospital in La Jolla. Jaimie had a tumor removed from her pituitary gland last week and is being discharged today! From what Chelsea said she looked much better, and I think she looked fantastic after being in the hospital all week and especially after having brain surgery that took 7 1/2 hours! Although it hurt her to laugh, we brought her some entertainment for a couple hours. She'll be out for the next 2-6 months and will be at home for that time. After getting back from the hospital we got a big game together of mud football. If it rains in San Diego this much, you have to take advantage. Renee and I were driving through OB and noticed there were areas the water was up to the doors of some cars. This screamed mud football. Around 4pm (sorry to those that showed up at 3:30pm - you can't rush mud) we cracked open the MGD and played a rousing game of 6 on 6 mud football. It was awesome. We played for probably an hour or so - and yes, my team won. I'm a bit sore (including a jaw soreness I've had for a couple weeks - TMJ?? - and a nasty hangnail that makes it hard to walk) today, but it was all worth it. No pictures were taken by me - but Michelle has some I want to get ahold of soon. After football we went to Chelsea's apartment and jumped in the hot tub for a while. Renee, Chelsea and I then ate at Chili's, loafed around for a bit, then put on The Big Lebowski. Everyone turned in before the movie was over, so I was left to myself - I came back home and watched a Simpsons and fell soundly asleep. And now after 30 minutes of writing these adventures; I'm going to get something to eat, work on my projects, do my laundry (that I've been putting off for at least a week), go to Bread of Life tonight, watch Scrubs (maybe American Idol?) then it looks as though I may be working at the shelter overnight.

Thanks for reading... have a fantastic day.... live long and prosper... carpe diem... e pluribus unum...

GWAR



To understand what a GWAR concert consists of... would be like trying to explain the inter-generational ramifications of post-nuclear apocolyptic war. You just can't comprehend such chaos, surrealism, and mayhem. But I'll try... and remember... this is a censored rendition.

Warning: this is not intended for small children or the light at heart.

GWAR is pure and utter spectacle. They opened by having a "man" come up on stage which they quickly decapetated for cussing them out, tore his arms off, and then helped him spray "blood" on the audience, in the mosh pit, and all over the stage through where his head used to be. Their next stunt consisted of Tearing Arnold Schwarzeneggar limb from limb, exposing his intestines, and so on. Other stunts consisted of Michael Jackson, George W. Bush, Osama Bin Laden, and Ronald Reagan. This is all occuring while speed death metal plays, strobe lights fill your head with thoughts of seizures, and a throng of far-from sober metalheads kick each other in the teeth. The audience got in a fight with the band, a few people got knocked out in the pit, multiple fights, and of course the ever popular "slaves" that decided to start punching the audience in the face.









Insanity, offensiveness, vulgarity, destruction, crazy Antarctican aliens that play death metal, and disregard for everything... EVERYTHING... is the only way I can summarize such an event.

V-day is for lovers...
or David

You want to know how to make David's "Love Holiday" fantastic? Here's how:



You send David a package from Elk Grove, CA that has brownies, port, and a great letter that entails "you don't have to have a valentine to receive a valentine" from your great friends Joshy and Kal. Then you also receive a long e-mail from your friend Kelly in Grenada in which she describes the holiday as "Happy Hallmark Holiday". Plus receiving a self-made card from Tiana in which she mis-spells "the". These things just made my day.

Alison gets her par-tay on

I'm hoping to put a few of the other pictures that were taken at Alison's birthday par-tay on Saturday up here, but for now - here is Alison... on her b-day... at her mix-matched 80's style bright color par-tay:



Brief run down of the festivities: the "girls" got together around 4:30pm at Alison's apartment in Banker's Hill to have a crochet session. They went and got utensils and then Michelle taught them all how to crochet. I think they didn't really do such things - they just sat around and danced to Britney. This is just my assumption. Everyone else made their way to Gubser's condo downtown where he rented out the pool area for the evening. We danced, frollicked, swam, ate, drank, and were marry. It was a blast. The par-tay, as I stated before, was themed mitch-match 80's style bright colors. I looked good, but you don't get to see that now. Also a big congrats to Alison and Josh who are engaged to be married in August of this year. Crazy kids.

Gay Bomb

Sex bomb, sex bomb, you're a sex bomb...

I don't think this is what we mean by non-violent alternatives...

I enjoy Captain Dan McSweeney's reasoning for not using said "Gay Bomb":

It is against the law, it is against the international chemical weapons ban, and the United States Department of Defense does not pursue those kinds of programs.


Because things that are against "the law" always stop the US military...

I lost all my money ($5) last night when Kane, Friberg, Josh Bulgrien and Gubser, Matt, and Scott came over last night to play poker. Good times were had - this should be a frequent event. Post-poker - Scott, Aaron, and I played SMB (Super Monkey Ball - if you don't know, don't act) for a while and called it a night.

Title: No Distance Left To Run

It's over
You don't need to tell me
I hope you're with someone who makes you
feel safe in your sleeping tonight
I won't kill myself, trying to stay in your life
I got no distance left to run

When you see me
Please turn your back and walk away
I don't want to see you
Cos i know the dreams that you keep is wearing me
When your coming down, think of me here
I got no distance left to run

It's over, I knew it would end this way
I hope you're with someone who makes you feel
That this life is the night
And it settles down, stays around
Spends more time with you
I got no distance left to run

A bit of my life

Here's another quick rundown of what David Steele Overholt has been up to the last few days.

David spent most of last week looking for a new car. Friday he went to Matt and Brenda's to go over Dodeci's taxes and then went out with Heidi, Matt, Bren, Josh, Alison, and one of Josh's friends to Sunset Bowling. He had a lot of fun even though he sucked it up real bad at the actual act of bowling. He wasn't really trying though, just enjoying the time. When he got back with Matt and Brenda to their apartment he played Halo 2 with Brenda (sorry for murdering you Bren) and fell asleep. Saturday morning he woke up and headed out with Matt and Bren to LA. They arrived around 11am (just in time for Matt to purchase tickets to U2 in Seattle). Bren went out with her Mom to look at furniture and eat while Matt and David met up with a lady in Hollywood to look at a car. The car was crap. It had terrible terrible tears in the back from her great dane, a terrible smell, and she didn't know anything about the car. Not worth it. The other girl that was supposed to meet with David never answered her phone. So Matt and David hiked up to the Hollywood sign for a couple hours. Matt and David then met with Brenda and her Mom in Old Pasadena for dinner at a great mexican restaurant. Muy Bueno salad was eaten by David. Matt, David, and Brenda then drove to Redlands and had mochas and played darts with Winter and J. They drove back home and fell asleep. Sunday morning David worked down in the nursery with the toddlers and then ate at Wahoo's with Matt and Brenda. They dropped Eric off at the airport because he was on his way to Minnesota for 4 days for work. They met up with a woman that then sold David her 1996 Honda Accord EX V6 that is dark green in colour, beige leather interior, 134k miles, power everything, sunroof, and barely a scratch on it - for $5k. Georgie (the car) is a great new addition to David's life. David went with Matt out to the Wright's house to watch the Super Bowl and then back home to watch American Dad. Yesterday David bought a CD player (Alpine CDA-9847) and an adapter that lets David plug in his iPod and control it via the CD player (Alpine KCA-420i). He received a lower cost on the car because of a dent that would cost $200 to fix - the CD player was more important to David than getting the dent fixed. David also got a printer because he has a lot of things to print for CityWise. He sent off his first packet of information to Southwest Airlines yesterday and will be awaiting the response. David spent 2-3 hours installing said CD player in his car in Poway at the home of the Schollers. David then went to Tannan's house to watch Equillibrium with Whitney and Tannan. He then went home and did a lot of e-mailing and work, and fell asleep. Today David worked in the morning, had lunch at Creations Cafe, took a walk around Dana Point, worked more, went to Bread of Life downtown, then got a burrito and watched Scrubs in OB at the house Chelsea and Renee are housesitting at. What an incredible house!!! Huge, right on the cliffs, and empty. David's happy to have his car and has picked up even more work as of the last few days. Quite good.

Government and Tyranny

DJ Paul Edge Blog

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess of the public treasury. From that time on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the results that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence:from bondage to spiritual faith;from spiritual faith to great courage;from courage to liberty;from liberty to abundance;from abundance to selfishness;from selfishness to complacency;from complacency to apathy;from apathy to dependency;from dependency back again to bondage.

Phil Says Six More Weeks of Winter!

HEAR YE! HEAR YE! HEAR YE!

On this Groundhog Day, February 2nd, the year 2005 on Gobbler's Knob, Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, Punxsutawney Phil, King of the Groundhogs, Father of all Marmota, Seer of Seers, Prognosticator of Prognosticators has been summoned by Groundhog President William Cooper. Phil gleefully exited his burrow at 7:31 a.m. to be greeted by his longtime friend and handler, Bill Deeley, who held him high so he could greet the large throng of Faithful Followers. He wished them all a 'Happy Groundhog Day.' Bill placed him atop the old oak stump where he surveyed his surroundings. He then turned to President William and in Groundhogese directed him to the scroll which reads:


Natural disasters have been a terrible thing; tsunamis,
downpours, floods, landslides, heavy snowstorms, avalanches,
frigid temperatures, sleet and freezing rain.
They all cause much destruction, suffering and pain.


When it seems like too much with which to cope;
The coming of spring brings us new hope.
Changing seasons is a wonderful thing.


Now it's Groundhog Day and we think of spring.
Will Spring come early or will it come late?


It's time for me to prognosticate.
As I study the sun
It's all about fun.
But I'm sorry to say
I see my shadow today.
When my shadow I see,
Six more weeks of winter there will be!

Microsoft management frustrated by iPods on campus

MacNN:

Microsoft's management is becoming more and more frustrated by the growing predominance of the iPod on its Redmond campus. Wired News says that the growing number of iPods on Microsoft's main campus: 'To the growing frustration and annoyance of Microsoft's management, Apple Computer's iPod is wildly popular among Microsoft's workers. 'About 80 percent of Microsoft employees who have a portable music player have an iPod,' said one source, a high-level manager who asked to remain anonymous. 'It's pretty staggering.' The source estimated 80 percent of Microsoft employees have a music player -- that translates to 16,000 iPod users among the 25,000 who work at or near Microsoft's corporate campus. So popular is the iPod, executives are increasingly sending out memos frowning on its use.'
