Jason Burns – IT Superhero
I came across this amazing video posted by Choir! Choir! Choir! and thought it was worth sharing. Can you imagine being part of something like this?
I’ve had a soft spot for Talking Heads ever since some friends of mine started a Talking Heads cover band long ago.
Fell in love with a new song. Thought I’d share:
I think I’ll print it in the personals that I’m looking for a match. Someone to light me up. Someone to burn the proof of the things that I’ve done.
-Bright Eyes – Spent On Rainy Days
I’ve been studying like crazy lately. The CCIE Voice Written has become more difficult since the last time I attempted to pass it for recertification. Every two years I have to pass the multiple choice part to keep the certification active.
I’m at a bit of a disadvantage because I’ve heard a lot of the material is similar to CVOICE. I’ve never done the CVOICE cert, so now I’m reading through the 700+ page book this week. Wish me luck for Friday. I’ve already failed this stupid test twice (by a razor thin margin) and I’m REALLY hoping I won’t have to go through that again. I can’t stand being less than excellent in my field of excellence. This was the one thing I was still good at 😛
ANYWAY – I was studying and this Bayside song came on that I’ve probably posted before.
Do you ever wake up to realize
that your life is meaningless?
Does it give you strength or lead
you to your grave at a young age?
I have an easy answer for this. Every time I’ve woken up and gone “Why the fuck am I doing this again? It doesn’t mean anything.” I’m able to say “Fuck it – do whatever you want. Do what makes you happy. You’re doing it because you want to.”
It’s empowering.
Maybe I’m spoiled because I’m responsible to no one but myself. It doesn’t hurt that the job pays the bills pretty well. At any point I could quit, move across the country (or ride my motorcycle there), and start all over again. I probably won’t, but I could.
Maybe I should search for something to give my life meaning, purpose, some greater goal. For now though, I’m pretty happy with being financially stable, able to take epic vacations, ride or drive anything that’s dangerously powerful, and drink my face off once in a while with friends. Is there more to it than that? I don’t care. Ask me in a few years.
Sometimes I go back and read old blog posts. I’m WAY happier now.
I’ve been watching a LOT of Californication. I really enjoy all of the interesting human interaction.
It’s smart, funny, depressing, joyful.. all of the things I like…
Anyway, this song came on and I really liked it
Makes me a dull boy:
Every weekend of mine is planned out until March 16th. I have either Saturday change windows, Friday windows, or on March 11th a full on 14 hour session starting at midnight and going all day Sunday.
Maybe the worst part is I chose this schedule myself to hit optimistic deadlines.
At least I usually only work 6 days a week.
When my March windows are done with I’m going to take some serious time off from work.
Normally I don’t post this frequently, but I was rocking out at work listening to Pandora.
It decided to spit out one amazing song after another! I’ve heard this one before and wish there was a bigger Thumbs Up button that I could hit. If this song were a married girl I would hit on it inappropriately.
Time aint gonna cure you honey. Time dont give a shit.
I really liked Cartel – Wasted. I was even sort of moved when I listened to it. Now you should listen to it.
