new location

my silly blog will find a temporary home at www.davius-maximus.net

that's a work in progress and since I'm away from home for a few days, it will take me at least until Wednesday to get the bugs worked out...

the davius-maximus.net domain should kick in by Monday, though it takes a while to propagate through... we'll see ;)

enigmatic-paradox.net will probably go tits up for at least a week, but it may be longer... worst case scenario, I get it up and running again for the last week of August.

we shall see...

stay tuned, the show's just starting... hahahaha!

sadly, this will only be viewable for another 24 hours, unless my guess it wrong, so it's sort of pointless... but such is life :)

a brief siesta

the past two weeks have been turbulent in all good ways... I spent a lot of time with friends and even more with Colin, so my room is a sty and I think I may have to throw a grenade in and start fresh... haha! Janius was in the city visiting, so between her visit and Shane moving to Halifax, I've had lots of visiting to do. It was a whirlwind of fun. Colin had friends visit on the weekend, so I got to meet them and go to Talay Thai for dinner... oh yumm, I just love their food... I've only had there food on three occasions and this was my first in shop dining experience with them... boy oh boy, is it worth it... I'm housesitting for my uncle, so I've been lounging around in the summer heat and sweating off some of the extra weight I've added on lately... if it wasn't for the summer heat and sex, I'm sure I'd have put on ten pounds since the spring ended. it's nice to have a car that works, even if it's only for a week... the city house is being renovated, so it was lucky that I was out here... I expect the renovation to continue until October, but we'll see what happens ;) I saw ugly people today, they had auras of pure blackness... how gross... they weren't hard on the eyes looks wise, but I could almost smell the rotten eggs oozing out of their pores... some people are just vile... ah well, the rest of the folk on the rocky hockey ball make up for it in more ways than we can count. amen.

as of saturday, my website will be inaccessible for a little while, hopefully no more than 3 weeks... we'll see what happens... I have a new adventure to look into when it comes to ISPs and all that fun stuff :)

see ya on the flip side...

Sometimes you have to wade through the darkness to appreciate the light.

I just wish I was was doing less wading today and more basking in the sun. Unfortunately, it piss poured rain since yesterday, so both figuratively and literally there was no sun to bask in. Stupid sun. Oh well, I have very little to complain about in life right now. Things are going really well for me and I'm pretty happy most of the time. The dark clouds in my mind have to come fuck it up every so often, but hell... I'm only human. I had to have a talk with Colin this morning about something I didn't want to bring up. Luckily he's attentive when I need him and understanding about the silliness of my ever fluctuating mental states. But gods above, some things are so hard to talk about. I look at my life and in comparison to most others, I've had a much better than average life. The really bad shit I've gotten myself into sometimes seems trivial compared to the advantages and sheer good luck I've had in life, but it's left its mark. I sometimes wonder if I'm scarred for life... then again, some scars don't heal, and some shouldn't. Reminders of mistakes and what we've lived through are a part of who we are and keep us on track to not make the same mistakes again. I sound so gloomy today... damn introspection, I'm actually in a good mood. I'll imagine some sun and go from there.

la cucuracha!

I got home around seven thirty this morning and had to prepare for work. I was stripping off to get a shower and as I removed my underwear, I was overwhelmed by the scent of salsa. It was quite strong and made me more than a little hungry. I could tell the actual story behind this odd occurrence, but it's much funnier if I leave it as is... hahahahaha!


*smirk*


Ah, the fun of Google... 'Salsa Underwear' search gives so many fun links! :)

If even ONE of the useless cretins I wished horrible death upon today, meets a bloody and lawn mowing accidentally inclined death, I shall feel slight vindication. Fuck you, no good cretins... get out of my shop...

j'adore les roses

My rosebush is in full bloom :) My dad sent me a picture of it, so I could see how wonderful it looks. Four or five years ago, I spent a day transplanting my uncle's hedge of wild roses from one location to another. It was no small feat... anyone that's transplanted rosebushes know how difficult it can be getting them uprooted. This hedge had been planted there nearly 30 years before, so the root structure was huge.... whew. It was an fun day, I'll grant it that much. Anyway, at the end of the day, there was a little sprig that had come off one of the larger bushes and I took it home to plant in my mom's yard. It was only a foot and a half long, and it was a single shoot. It's root wasn't big, so I didn't expect much from it. It grew well and produced one rose for me by the end of that season. During the winter, the accumulation of snow on it's location was large and in the spring we noticed it had snapped the top half of the bush off. I expected that was the end of it. Anyway, to cut to the chase... after a few years of watering, sheep shit and mulch... the little sprig that could is doing fantastic. :)

This is my baby in all its glory! :)

half way?

Sheesh, we're past the mid point of 2007. Where did the time fly by to...

People say that to me every so often, or something like it and I can't help but cringe. A day or a month or a year or a millennia is just a pre-packaged human thought process, it doesn't exist in nature. As the natural tendencies in our species towards 'order' propel civilization, we tend to dwell more and more on time and the classification of how we spend/make use of time. I don't see anything wrong with that tendency, it's what has made us excel on many levels... but it's not the be all and end all of existence. 2007 has been turbulent in a few ways, but nothing compared to other years. I don't get the feeling that the year has passed quickly. I find I've immersed myself in life to a greater degree; thus, the days have gone by and I haven't noticed it happen as much as I once would have. I'm quite content smelling the flowers and I can happily sit and stare at nothing for long periods of time, but that's not all... my sense of time is just blunted. I'm happily wading through things that attract my attention and hours, days and weeks seem to fly by without notice. I call that enjoying life. I'm happy.

Needless to say, I can be at work and time does not fly by. I'm only human (for the moment, muhuhahahah!). I sometimes feel strange anxiety for no apparent reason or at least for reasons that don't make any sense... but once it's gone I'm back drifting happily along... I went to Cape Breton on the long weekend and even though I was only there for two days, it seemed like a long time. There was no rushing involved or anything to vex me or make it seem short, so for me it wasn't. It was just a nice trip.

Granted that life's been peachy, I did something stupid last week. I freaked out on someone for no apparent reason and I actually yelled. I haven't yelled at anyone in four years, and before that incident it would have been closer to eight or nine years... sheesh. Numerous factors were involved in the situation, but as I examined everything in the time before that, it just looked like silly excuses. I can come to terms with reactionary incidents where cause and effect seem to play a part in what happens, but irrational outbursts make no sense to me. Within a few minutes of this particular irrational outburst I had apologized and all I could do was think to myself, "What the fuck was that? Where did that come from? Why were you yelling?" I was completely at a loss for an explanation. Luckily, I was forgiven and things moved on and away, but it bugs the hell out of me. As a logical person, I dislike and am irritated by illogical behavior; not in other people, in myself. If I can't explain something to myself, give it cause and effect or rationalize, it drives me batty. Fortunately, such instances are rare. Fucking allergy season.

While in New brunswick today, I decided to grab a tea at a Tim's. Let me tell you, I had the blow of my life right there in the restroom. No, not that kind... they had the most powerful hand dryer I have ever encountered. It scared the fucking shit out of me. [I'm not a morning person and after getting up early and driving for 2 hours, I was not anywhere near to being awake and aware. Thus the tea break... which was prefaced by a trip to the loo. In my half asleep state of being, I was ill prepared for what I was about to experience.] Now, I have used a high powered leaf blower on several occasions and I can honestly say that this hand dryer beats the living shit out of ANY leaf blower I've ever used. When I first put my hands under, I nearly had a heart attack, but it dried my hands almost immediately. So after my heart crawled back up into my chest, I went back for seconds. It was by far the funniest thing I've seen in a while. My morbid mind thought up funny headlines that might be found in the newspaper, like, 'Man dies from heart attack in encounter with local restaurant blower' etc... it was an odd day. Anyway, I want one... I'd never have to use a towel again! Take that you fucking towel bastages!

I hate when people watch while I work. I hate it even more when they are trying to be inconspicuous about it. Fuck. In today's adventure I had to dismantle a 3 foot by 3 foot by 4 foot printer to change an internal fan. The problem being, I had no idea how to take it apart. Until I showed up at the customer's business, I had never seen this model printer and I could not find anything on the interwebith with instructions. Thus, it was dismantle by trial and error. That doesn't scare me in the least, I was one of the kids that took things apart to see how they worked.. and then put it back together in working condition :) Only N00BS broke shit haha! So I played the 'Find out which screw comes off next' game and the customer sat at her desk 3 feet away working. Le sigh. She was a nice lady, otherwise I probably would have gotten frustrated and fucked it up totally. All in all, I made it work the way it should. She was happy and overall, I enjoyed the experience.

I stop writing for a while and this is the result... a never ending maze of thoughts. I could keep going for hours, but work would be ten levels of hell if I don't get my bee-ooty sleep. I've played some Warcraft and some Clan Lord this week. It's nice to wantonly whack shit and then run away from the corpse. Hehe!
