I wear someones sunglasses in the morning....

Yes, Worship my funky sunglasses!

Ok. They're not mine, but feel free to worship anyway :-p

The Great Parking Issue...

I work in brooklyn heights, and drive in. The traffic is always an issue (well duh, I DO live in NYC..) However the really big issue is.... Parking. I spend a lot of time in the AM's looking for legal free parking, and am successful only occasionally. Parking monthly runs around 275 to START, before NYC taxes, so I'm really not in a position to drop cash on a monthly lot...
Summertime, there are *3* spots in front of the school that can be grabbed if the timing is good... the spots are guarded by a sign that says 'No parking 7am to 6pm school days'. Depending on who you talk with, either a school day is defined by the 'school year' orrrr... If there are folks in the building or not.
The building is 'staffed' 24/7 so.......
I parked in front, put a nice note in my window, and am hoping.....
If anyone knows any cheap parking in brooklyn heights, please let me know!

AGAIN with the 'no sleep' thing.

Ok Another night spent Not sleeping. This is getting annoying. Another night spent watching TV, and looking at people's blogs and stuff :-p.
I got to work at 5:15, because there was no reason to hang around the house.
The night watchman slept through my calling, ringing the doorbell,etc. One of the B&G people got here around 6:15, and we where getting concerned that he was like dead in the building or something...
Not dead, Just Resting.
Grumbles.
So now I'm working and since no one else is here, I'm playing loud music er...Loud :-p
Nothing starts a morning off Like a little Metallica, Meat loaf and Def lep, eh?

I'll try to scram outta here at like 1... Maybe I can get away with it, being its summer time and all.

I'll keep Y'all posted :)

A few of my favorite things....

...In no particular order...
Dice-I like different, funny dice, big ones, small ones, 100 sided ones, I like em, and have a collection

Niagara Falls-The Canadian side (of course!) The falls are breathtaking, both summer and winter, and the town has lots of tourist-cute things to do to amuse..The folks there where all nice too. I've never had a bad time in Niagara falls (or any part of Canada, for that matter)

Disney World- Say what you want about political correctness (which I indeed hate), but Disney is really a fun, happy place to be, and again the people there are Incredibly warm/nice/friendly. It's really pleasant, especially for a NY boy like me.

I also enjoy the following web sites, again in no particular order:

http://www.battleon.com/ -A silly little web game, I enjoy playing when I have some time to kill

http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html -Peters overlords List. An esscancial guide to those prepping for a career in world domination!

http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/ -They recap TV shows...With no mercy! It's a really amusing site

http://www.straightdope.com/ -The Straight dope, brought to you by Cecil Adams. Much Information and amusement is available here!

http://www.woot.com/ -Woot! They sell one thing a day, usually at a pretty good price, till the day's over, or its all sold out.

Recent Obsessions...

Ok as kinda sad as this seems, as a relatively intelligent adult male, I've got a couple of completely unreasonable obsessions. I've been totally addicted to The cartoon networks 'Justice league' and 'Justice league unlimited', have been watching a fair amount of the old 'X-men' cartoons, and even Stargate SG-1. Also, usually I'm not particularly interested in material stuff, but I've decided that The Motorola Razr is really really nifty looking... However I'm not willing to spend 200 bucks on a new cell phone (not to mention changing service providers..) Just because I think the phone is...Nifty.
I also collect Dice, and am currently looking for a new bag for my dice. My current one is too small I'm afraid, especially since at my last convention trip....
Silly I admit, but I love having weird dice!
Anyone want to confess to their own bizzarro obsessions?

And Why Fuzzys Hideaway?

Easy Question. I'm a gamer you see, and as most gamers would tell you, a lot of stuff starts up in the 'bar'. I thought about it, and these days you don't see many places you can stop in, get a drink, a bite to eat, and if you want to, grab a room 'upstairs'... Most hotels have a restaurant in em but its not the quaint little pub type setup you think of when you game....So I thought it would be nice one day to have a nice quiet bar/restaurant/inn where folks could go and quietly get drunk and if necessary sleep it off upstairs :-p.

Well I do THIS often......

Ah I see its been a few months..
Ok It's been like 7 months...What's your point?
I Generally don't write unless I'm a bit down or something, amazingly
it's been awhile since I've felt like this and had the time (and remembered HOW) to
write here.. So I want to get this 'out there' Right now, because you never ever know if
you're going to ever get the chance......

Thank You all for being a part of my life.....
I could not wake up tomorrow...I want you all (any? Anyone read this... Not that I've told anyone it exists....) To know, I treasure every moment I've gotten to spend with you folks..As some people are painfully aware, my friends are very important to me, and I often have no idea what I'd have done without you.

Now...Onto the reason of 'no sleep' tonight....
I don't believe in an after 'anything' and it saddens and scares the hell out of me.
I'm dead positive that when we die we simply cease to exist. This makes me sad. It makes me sad For me, it makes me sad because I think of all the incredible wonderful people who have added incredible wonderful things into this thing we call life...And they're gone.
Oh sure, 'they live on in us'
Excuse me for being cynical, but they're still GONE.
Jim Henson no longer creates, Freddy mercury no longer sings, Jimmy Hendrix no longer plays... My grandfather is no longer around to talk with and watch TV with and raid the fridge with at all hours of the night...

I have several friends who have lost Both their parents....I don't know how they manage to get up and function. Some would say they have no choice... There's Always a choice.

Am I choosing to kill myself by overeating?

We All Die.

I guess part of the trick is, to live as much as we can between now and then....
I enjoy eating.
I LOVE eating...If I die 10 years earlier, but happier is it worth it? I don't think so, but often I find myself unmotivated to do the walking, and to not put aside that snacky-cake....

I think I am a good person. I'm not a GREAT person, or a wonderful person.. But I think I'm a good one. I try to leave more good then bad in the world, I try to treat people as I'd like to be treated.. I am still occasionally amazed at the amount of understanding and patience some people have.. It Boggles my mind.. Does the little good I do help?
I suppose. Is it WORTH IT?
I see/hear stories of people who do some things I feel are just wrong... I'm not talking about the BIG sins really... People who drive on the shoulder during heavy traffic, people who do stuff that seems 'victimless' in some ways, and they get away with it....They get what THEY want....
Does Karma Exist?
I'm afraid I don't believe in THAT either...
So why be 'nice' ?
I guess my hope is that....If I'm nice, maybe some of that 'nice' will spread around and eventually work its way to lots of people, maybe even me...And life will be better for everyone?
Does it work?
I donno.
Horrible things still happen. People still do horrible terrible things to each other.
I don't think me saying 'Thank you, have a great day' to the person in the toll plaza saved any lives.

*sigh*

I guess I'll put my picture up now. I've got a couple someplace.

G'night (g'morning) folks, Have a great day, thanks for visiting......


did that make anyone feel better? Let me know....

TA da part 2....

Another shot of me in Disney World... Admit it, you're all jealous that I got my picture taken with a hot blonde :-p
