You know what offends me?
People taking offense at other peoples religion. I'm talking about people being scared to write "Christmas" on cards, because not everybody is Christian, and if they're not they might be offended since they don't celibrate it. I'm sorry, but I do celebrate it. And if you're the type of person that me sending you a card during my holiday season, letting you know that I'm thinking of you offends you - then I really could give a bigger shit. If you're really that shallow and can't look beneath the surface, if you look at my reason for sending you a "Christmas" card is somehow trying to "recruit" you to my religion or have you celebrate it against your will, then honestly I doubt I'd keep that person as my friend. If I had a friend of another religion, and they sent me a card on their holiday, just letting me know they're celebrating it and that they were thinking of me - I can't even possibly imagine how I could take that offensively. Regardless of whether it said Happy Hanukkah or whatever your religion might be on the card. If a city is mostly Christian, or even if it's not, what's wrong with displaying or celebrating the holiday publicly. I was just reading This article, and it kind of set me off. Nobody is required to participate, they don't have to go or purchase things or go see the show. But why is other people celebrating their holiday offensive? Why is the word "Christ" becoming offensive? I think the saddest part is, I don't actually know anybody who isn't Christian that is actually offended by it. I think it's "certain" Christian people that are worried about offending others, and they're "pro-actively" trying not to. Blah. Current Mood:  annoyed | | Thursday, August 24th, 2006 | | 2:46 pm |
Hey everybody
Seems I almost forget this place exists, then I spend all day catching up on all your updates hehe. Whats new with me? Hmm.. not much. My family from Utah is talking about possibly moving down to Texas. I can't even describe how nice it'd be to have some family around. One of the few things I miss about Utah. So fingers crossed! Work is going along. I'm on a 3 month project, and just about done with the forms to put data into the database. Next up will be the reports, and being able to automatically generate/save those reports in .pdf file so they can print them etc. I really don't know how much I enjoy being a programmer. It's good work, will pay really good in a year or two when I get more knowledge, I just am not like I used to be. I have a really hard time sitting behind a computer for 8-10 hours a day anymore, where as (as sad as it sounds) 4-5 years ago that was my ideal job. I loved computers, playing on them, working on them, etc. I'm so jealous of people who get to go out and move and do things for a job. Even if I stick with computers, I wish I was more hardware or hands on. Oh well. This job has taken a lot to get this far into, I'm not going to stop doing it now. Maybe this job when it gets to where I'm not having to study so much, can support me while I go to school and pick another career. Tyson is adorable. So much personality. I can't even describe how much I'm enjoying being a dad. I want to get more active outside. I was thinking of starting to cycle or something similiar. I used to play basketball but eh, just doesn't have much appeal to me anymore. I also want to start doing more activities around in the areas. There is always shit going on in either San Antonio or Austin. I want to get out more. Of course a lot of that relies on more money, which I always seem to lack enough of. I swear I could make 100,000 a year and I'd still feel like I was barely paying my bills. Btw, Texas rules. Everybody should move here :) Current Mood:  okay | | Friday, July 14th, 2006 | | 2:28 pm |
Life in general update
Tyson is absolutely amazing. He's going to be turning 1 on August 3rd - crazy I have a one year old kid. He's walking very well, and it's crazy the personality they get and how quick they get it. He's a great kid, we got very lucky. I'm flying back to Utah, August 10th, for his "birthday". We can't do it on the 3rd, but we want to give his grandma's and pa's kinda a part in his first birthday, so we're flying up there for 4 days. I'm excited, but also not. I dunno. We're moving August 1st into a duplex instead of living in the apartments we were living in. It's not THAT much cheaper, but I was paying 840/month for an apartment. Bit too much if you ask me when you can get a duplex for cheaper (even if not much) really nice neighborhood too. Me and Kellen are doing well. Nothing grand and exciting, but that's a good thing. Means nothing bad has happened hehe. So I'll take this calm/boring for a while and enjoy it :) Me personally I'm doing good. Job is going well, picked up 2 new jobs which basically means 8 months of work to do, starting on Monday. I'm going to register a domain soon and get my own website up, mostly just for the families in Utah to have an easy way to see pictures and read about updates on us. I'm still very un-committed to getting back into lifting. I'll go perfect for 3 weeks, then stop for 2, then go for a week, then stop for a week. Pretty frustrating - I always feel so much better after I go, it's just getting there that's the hard part for me. And I went to the gym religiously for almost 3 years before, so I know from self experience if I can tough it out a month or two it'll be hard for me NOT to go to the gym. I just need to get over this damn hump. I want to get back into playing pool. I used to do it 1-3 times a week for about a year. I stopped completely when I moved to Texas. It was a good time and a good vent, however I don't know if it'll be the same without the same people there. That was definitely half the fun. I've been thinking a lot about all the friends who have come and gone in and out of my life. They say you cycle out friends every 8 years. I don't like that much at all, but seems to be true. You always make new friends, of course. But do you ever really have the same type of friends you had growing up? I don't think so. I've said it before, because of 2 specific friends of mine, I'm alive today. There is no way I could have survived without them. Absolutely no way. I haven't seen one (although I keep in touch by email) for 4 years. The other I see once a year, but we're just so busy with our own lifes and junk - it's not the same. We're still friends, but ya know --- I miss having that friend, that best friend you had growing up. Although I know it'd be impossible. I don't let anybody get that close to me anymore. Maybe that's why I'm wishing I could be more like I was when I was a kid, or those relationships I had back then. I dunno. I miss my dog. I think I might have to get another one in the next year or so. I'd really like to buy a house instead of renting, but saving for the deposit seems next to impossible right now. Probably won't happen until my credit card and car is paid off. Random thoughts. I'm also going to start posting public again. I see no reason why the situation that happened before would return (random people attacking my thoughts, views, or decisions in life) so I'm going to give it a go again.

My Journal
Because of people coming to my journal to attack me and or my thoughts, my journal is now going to be friends only. If you wish to be friends, add me and I'll add you back. :) -David | | Thursday, March 11th, 2004 | | 2:38 pm |
Work sucks.
What would it be like to have a job you enjoy going to? *ponders* Current Mood:  contemplative | | Monday, March 8th, 2004 | | 9:47 am |
Life in general
I haven't been updating my journal nearly as often as I should. Granted, I never have. But one post per month is a bit rediculous ;) So whats gone on with me. I'm still lifting, I've lost 12 pounds since Jan 1st. My account at work is closing so I'm going to have to move depts. Besides still working on my stomach I have a new goal: Quit procrastinating so badly. I realize there is only one way to change things you dislike about yourself, and that is.. *gasp* CHANGE THEM. So I'm going step up and work on this, we'll see how it goes. I just hate paying a bill late when I've had the money in my account the past 3 weeks. Or waiting until I'm on my last pair of socks to do laundry even though I had time 3 nights before. This is something I'm going to change.

Heheh
I'm still alive. I think.... | | Tuesday, December 30th, 2003 | | 12:36 pm |
Snow,snow,snow
Well I didn't get home on Friday - infact it was late Saturday I got home. It sucked. Supposed to snow all week - but I doubt it'll be as strong as it was before. As long as I can make it home. Not much else has gone on since then. Too much snow. Oh - my mom decided to transfer me 1000 bucks. Just because. She said she was doing it for all her kids, she was gonna disperse our inheritance while she was alive. So she can see us enjoy it. She didn't want us to get a lump sum all at once when she was dead. So, it'll help quite a bit :) So she'll give us bits of it here and there. Sounds good to me! Although shes only 45 the idea of "inheritance" bugs the shit out of me. Shes healthy, looks great. But, yuck. I just don't like to think about that. Current Mood:  bored | | Friday, December 26th, 2003 | | 10:26 am |
Grumble
I should have taken the hint when it took me 40 fucking minutes to shovel my way out of my drive way this morning. It took me 2 hours to get to work. Now that I'm here I have no clue if I'll make it home. The roads are complete ass. Its supposed to snow constantly until 3am tonight so no "window" for them to clear the roads and me to get home. I should have just stayed in bed. The holiday pay I wouldn't have gotten isn't worth this bullshit. Current Mood: pissed off | | Wednesday, December 24th, 2003 | | 9:23 am |
Wheeeee
So I went over to Melissa's house and exchanged gifts with her and her sister. Melissa gave me a really cool Hoody, some beanies, some bowls (something I needed, ex-gf took all the dishes), and a big ass candy bar. :D Amber got me some 49er gloves/beanie. I was quite happy, thanks Amber and Melissa! I'm spending Christmas eve with my family. I'm going up there tonight and staying the night. Should be fun :) I miss my family, I sometimes regret how we grew up, not close. But things seem to be better now, we can hang around each other without fighting. Current Mood: happy | | Monday, December 22nd, 2003 | | 10:18 pm |
My dog!
Sweet, I now have a picture of my dog. His name is Duke, he's 101 pound Red Doberman. He's my bud :) Current Mood: enthralled | | 1:58 pm |

Yes!!!
49ers beat the eagles, 49ers beat the eagles. Man what a "could have been" season. I said it once, but 5 of their 8 losses are by 3 points or LESS. Too bad they didn't get rid of that shitty kicker earlier. Oh well. They won the important one *evil grin diyeana* Current Mood: happy | | Thursday, December 18th, 2003 | | 4:25 pm |
Christmas
I love Christmas evening/day. I hate the month preceding it (birthday excluded of course) and the months after. Shopping sucks. Paying for it afterwords sucks. But an excuse to have a nice dinner and spend time with your family, its all worth it in the end. I haven't posted about Saddam yet - thank god they captured him, that made my entire day go by so much better. I decided in my workout my stomach is my next target area. I'm not fat or pudgy, but from age of 12 up to 21 or so I had a six-pack almost the entire time. I never really had to work at it either with how active I was in sports. I'm not nearly as active anymore, and I have a sit down job. But, I gave myself 2 months to get my stomach in shape. I think I can do it in that time. :) I miss my dog. He's been staying at my moms house when I moved into my latest house. He's one of those dogs that are your buddy. The one you talk to about your problems and he genuinely seems to care and listen. The one you like to take driving with you. He's my buddy, I can't wait to get him back. I'm off to do my shopping. I've bought almost nothing, even though I've been shopping twice. Although I do have most of what I am going to get planned out, just need to go through the motions and fork out the money. Current Mood:  groggy | | Tuesday, December 16th, 2003 | | 10:39 am |
Birthdays rule. I had a good birthday this year :) 49ers lost again on Sunday. Blech. Thats a "could have been" team if I've ever saw one. 5 of their 8 losses were by 3 points or LESS. Blech. I called in "sick" yesterday. Boy did I enjoy my extra day off. But now I'm back at work *yuck* | | Thursday, December 11th, 2003 | | 9:55 am |
LJ
So I'm actually starting to like LJ quite a bit. I was doing it before because I thought it was a neat concept, but not something that I actually enjoyed doing a whole lot. But there is quite a bit to this place, communities, friends, etc. I just hope I don't become a LJ freak like Diyeana *runs and hides* Current Mood: amused | | Wednesday, December 10th, 2003 | | 10:45 am |
Not much going on today. I lift today after work... I'm really starting to get back to where I was before I slacked. Infact I think I'm better off in quite a few of the workouts. So moving right along. I really want to get back into martial arts. I took 2 years of Tae Kwon Do, and I loved every minute of it. I just need to make sure I have the extra money, because it costs quite a bit to join, to purchase your Gi (sp?), pads (gloves and feet), plus to pay for the actual classes themselfs. But, I really need to get on it soon. I've been putting it off for 4 years now. Current Mood: good | | Tuesday, December 9th, 2003 | | 10:22 am |
Maaaan
I had some hot Chocolate over at Diyeana's last night... and I think it burnt my tongue! My tongue is all numb today.. Oh well, it was great tasting. :D | | 8:45 am |
Me
Man, I don't know why but I've had incredible mood swings lately. For no reason at all, I'll get incredibly pissy. Then 20minutes later I'm laughing and fine. Weird shit. I am trying to quit drinking mountain dew, so maybey its the caffeine withdrawl. I was drinking 2-3 a day. Now I'm drinking 1-2 a week. *ponders* Current Mood: moody | | Monday, December 8th, 2003 | | 10:15 am |
49ers
Yay. The 49ers won 50-14. If this team played half as good on the road as it did on home they'd win the super bowl. They haven't won a single game on the road, but when at home they're beating even the good teams by 20 points *scratches his head* Oh well. I turn 24 this Friday - still not sure what I'm going to do for my Birthday. I went and played pool this weekend with a few friends - was great fun. Me and Soulcutter (brad) kicked Melissa and Gems ass. Many times. It was beautiful. :D Current Mood: happy |
