Just got back from th airport. They cancalled all flights to Boracay. The beach place thingy I've been showing off to everybody. They said the weather is so bad that no planes can see the landng. Doh!
Instead we're going back to Punta Fuego. That's alright by me but I was looking forward to mingling with the club crowds at Boracay. More Punta Fuego pics.... YAY!!
After this, my dad arrives then Christmas, then Sis' wedding.
Friggin Gallery on my site is screwing up so you'll have to hop on to facebook for some limited pics. Here's a preview though. :)
Just got back from heaven and I ain't talking about the poon. This no internet thing is pissing me off a little bit because I'd totally have some pics posted by now.
Guess you'll have to wait a little more.
Well it's friggin hot over here. Humid sticky hot.
It's been cool seeing everybody though. I remember this place being huge but now it's kinda small. I gues it's like going back to your high school after all these years.
I'm just checking in, nothing overly exciting to report. We're suppose to hit this beach resort tomorrow so maybe I'll have some pics by the end of the week.
Oh yea, the plane ride totally sucked balls. I couldn't go to sleep at all. It just sucked. I'm not looking forward to tht plane trip back.
Yea, so I was saying how moving in with Teri was a bad idea, well, something happened. I really don't want to get into too much details but it's one of those things that you think your friends always have your back. I can't believe I'm referencing Survivor but in that race thing they did, some tribe members had the chance to jump to the other team. Mutiny, that's it. Some jumped, original tribe gets pissed. Yea, it was something like that. I somewhat felt betrayed, knife in the back sort of thing. Oh well, I'm glad it happened sooner than later.
I'm back to my original plans of waiting for a buddy of mine here at work for his lease to end on February. We'll then get a 2 room at Copper Mill. It'll still save me some cash and I'll still have the gym and whatever CM have to offer. I think it's a better idea.
My neighbor on the other hand is confusing the hell out of me. She stops by all the time and hangs out for 5 - 10 minutes then leaves. What gives? I've tried asking her out but she insists on getting whatever to go and dine back at her place. Ladies... please chime in.
Well, that's all the drama that's been going on.
I'm back at the old stomping ground here at Reston. P-brooke sent me here for a 4 day class on Comprehensive Intro to Networking. I mentioned something about taking classes every single review I had over there so they're finally doing something about it.
I got a room here at the fantabulouos Sheraton on Sunrise Valley. I was expecting the typical hotel room but damn, this place has a sub 40" LCD TV. Too bad no DVD player because I brought tons of my new movies. Unlike my Boston trip I can't go balls out here and order whatever I want. The Boston trip was being paid for by one of our clients.
One thing for sure, I don't miss NoVA traffic at all. It feels strange driving around. I'm familiar with everything but yet I feel like a tourist. I really don't know anyone close by. However, I do know a place where I always feel at home. BAJA FRESH baby! I devoured a Baja Burrito not so long ago. It's still on top of my list. I'm having dinner with Tere and Debbie tomorrow. The 2 lone people I somewhat kept in touch with. I'm still trying to open up my schedule for some Sweet Water Tavern... keep your fingers crossed.
DUDE!! I totally pulled a Steve (I'll explain the Steve later). If you can refer back to my neighbor situation from entries here and here. I had to work late today so by the time I got home I was starving with no food in the house. Well I didn't feel like grocery shopping or just getting something to go. I wanted good food and company to enjoy it with. Out of nowhere, and I mean nowhere I got up from my geek seat and walked over next door. Knocked, and worked my magic. She let me in without even asking what I wanted. Just a friendly "Hey! come in, come in... how are you... yada yada." She then jumped on her coffee table and slowly started sliding off her top while looking deeply into my eyes. Ok, ok, I had to... right?
Back to the story. I then asked her if she wanted to have dinner with me. I explained to her how I didn't have any food at my place and wanted to see if she would join me. She smiled but refused because she was studying for her MCATs. However, she said she can have dinner at her place. Being the gentleman that I am, I asked what she likes and I would bring it over. She happened to like seafood and decided we were going to have Chinese food. SCORE! This is a good thing; A. she's not a total vegetarian, B. she digs SUSHI! Can you say, wazzzaaahhhbiii.
I get to the restaurant and looked over the menu searching for Orange Shrimp. Well Jebus Christ, they didn't have it. This turned out to be a good thing though, Polibus Maximus came through. I asked for sweet and sour shrimp without the sweet and sour sauce but the orange sauce. Just to cover my bases I also ordered vegetable stir fry so she'll have her options as well as 3 drinks to choose from. Mad props right? This also gave me an opportunity to get her number because it would have been useful.
Back at her place I presented her with her options. I swear it's like one of those things where you have a vision in your mind and it turned out the way you envisioned it. I could tell she was impressed. We ate, talked, laughed. We just had a great time. Knowing she had some studying to do, I left her the vegetarian stir fry and she gave me a full body hug (good lawd!) She also wrote down her cell number and gave it to me. :)
I'd have to say she's different. She doesn't listen to your typical radio music, she's a total environmentalist, and we disagree on some things. But hey, it gave us something to talk about. I also got a lot of good signs, touching, smiling, etc. Just an overall good vibe. I didn't even ask for her number, I just mentioned it when we were about to have dinner. She did give me her digits as I left without me asking for it. Damn skippy! It's about time a grew some balls.
So the Steve reference is from the movie The Tao of Steve. How all the cool guys are named Steve... Steve McQueen and such. A philosophy of how you want to be a Steve instead of a Stu. Steve gets laid, Stu gets rejected over and over again. :)
You know when you have an initial feeling about a good thing then kinda start doubting it? I'm going through that right now. As the title says, I'm not continuing my lease here at the G-pad. I'm moving in with Teri at her newly bought town house. Yea, sounds like a great idea. She's a bonafide hottie who I get along with, hey, why not? The truth is we're not really dating. We're friends and I have my reasons not wanting a relationship with her. This is where the doubt lies because she is damn attractive that any pubescent 30 year old would fall for.
I ask myself how would I feel when she brings over some dude? I do believe I can separate myself from that feeling and just put her on the "just friends" side. It won't be easy but I guess the ticket is to actively seek that special someone. Live my own life , yada, yada...
Anyway, let's go back why this is a good idea. The main reason I want to move in with her is because I will be saving an assload of cash that would let me fulfill my rockstar lifestyle. That is the truth. Shelling out $1100+ a month on your own is a wicked bitch. As much as I love this place, I'm willing to sacrifice that heartache. I also found out while having the whipped nice guy syndrome that I dig this home improvement bug that my geek friends have been raving about. I've been helping Teri paint the town house and it's surprisingly relaxing. Yet, my mind starts to wonder about this big move.
I miss my geek family.
No news. Last I saw her was 2-3 weeks ago loading ass loads of paper bags filled with trash in her car. I mean her car was loaded. It ended up she was recycling and driving those ass loads of trash to some west end recycler. So add that to the vegan thing, yikes, a little scary. Plus she haven't returned my DVD... bitch!
Ok, maybe I'm overreacting. I'd still hit it.
ref: Clean up
hehe.. this is awesome... Dr. Mario. I could've stole the image but that dude who took it gets mad props.
I really need to clean my place up more often. You never know when an unexpected cute stranger knocks on your door and asks for help. Which was the case last night while I was cooking up some sausage omelet. (Sounds like an intro to pron scene huh?) She was trying to get in her apartment when the deadbolt broke on her.
She knocked on the G-pad (my apt.) and I was hesitant at first from answering thinking it was some magazine selling ex-druggie but I opened the door. She then tells me her story so I helped her out by giving her our apartment's service number. I let her in as she made her calls all the while embarrassed by messy ass place. She then proceeded to unbutton her shirt and slowly looks me up down while licking her lips in my imaginary pron scene. Since this is reality, that last thing I said didn't really happen.
She asked to check her email, I obliged. We talked about what we do, the usual get to know you stuff. She's a pre-med going for her masters at MCV (cha-ching!). I finished up my cooking and offered her some but she denied since she's a veggie. Doh! She then looked over my stacks of movies commenting on what she has seen and what she's interested in. She did say she loved Harold and Kumar, so that's a plus. She then saw The Notebook and made that awwww thing that you typically get from chic flicks... aka the Korte effect.
In my head I was tallying up all the points I've been racking up; the guitars for my bad ass side, the cooking for my homely side, then The Notebook for my faggy sensitive side. I also happened to make her laugh several times and she ended up leaving with a huge smile on her face. She also borrowed Little Miss Sunshine which I take as a this-is-not-over sign. Her name? Tarra, like the Sos' cat. Maybe I'm over hyping or over analyzing this but hey that's 2 connections with the Geeks right? Tarra and the whole veggie thing.
So I'll end this as, to be continued...
Talk about pioneers...
I'm over at McGeorge right now getting a free oil change. I was going to be anal and do the change myself but eh, too cold and hey, it's free.
And I did say I'm at McGeorge. They have a waiting lounge upstairs with desktops hooked up. Pretty cool. I kinda want to test drive an xB for the hell of it. Or maybe an X-runner if they have it... hmmm :)
I haven't done a true rant lately on here. So I'm going off today just because work has totally slowed down this Thanksgiving week and that I haven't posted anything but show off posts.
Speaking of which, I still haven't taken any shots of the drop. I left my good camera at my sisters place A few weekends ago and I can't find my 3 meg-er cybershot. Maybe this thanksgiving weekend when I'll be at Nova to be with the family I'll be able to shoot something. I'm so obsessed about that car, it's crazy. I found a site that sells factory matched spray paint for more custom goodness. Oh the possibilities.
I almost lined up to get a PS3 with my friend here at work. I've been reading whatever info is out there and maybe I was caught in with the hype. In reality there's no kick ass games out for it now. Plus games will cost you $60 a pop. I'll stick with my PS2 and Final F'N FANTASY XII! The game kicks so much ass.
If you know of any hotties please direct her my way. I need a date for our Christmas party. :)
Have a great Thanksgiving... let's get fat!
After a few v.!ag.r@ shots. I'm back up, with the default MT design of course. Nothing much to say but hey! I'm back. Whoopididoo. Oh what the hell are TrackBacks for you MT users?
