There and Back Again

Some weekends are more enjoyable then other, I say a couple movies this one, both were pretty good. Man on Fire was very powerful, very well acted, did a very good job of showing the violence without churning your stomach. Kill Bill Volume 2 was suprisingly good, had a nice twist at the end, skipped the blood spurting from the first, had a happy ending of sorts. Anyway both were quite enjoyable.

Of course the interesting part of both movies is I saw them alone, not that thats a bad thing, just not so sure its trend without long term issues. Anyway I would really like to meet someone new who shares some interest likes to have some fun etc, maybe even a female (though im not so sure im ready for another round of that). Of course things brings me to my problem, how do you meet people that are more then casual friends and aren’t related to work. This weekends attempt going to a club didn’t work, though it wasn’t expected too. Went to a club that was a little to young, crowded, and lacking of a dance floor for the crowd, reminded me of high school too many cliches.

So now its time to brain storm for next weekend, maybe i’ll try a bar or a lounge. I really need a new hobby, guess im going to fill out this orkut invitation now, maybe some friends of friends will fit the bill.

People have an interesting way of trying to convince themselves that change is good. No matter what the new situation is or how we got there (though I guess especially if the change happened because of your choice) we work hard to come up with reasons with why the new way is better.

Have spare time now, its not that it sucks to be alone its more time for hobbies. Not tied to a single person, now you can flirt. New job doesn’t pay as much, at least its something you enjoy. Really you can go on like this forever.

Maybe things are better how can you really be sure, but then maybe thats the big questions. How do you know when your just deluding yourself and when the change actually made things better.

Food for thought (hmm maybe thought for food would work better )

I’ll be at the Mysql Users Conference for the rest of the week, so im not sure what my internet access will look like. Also I moved the phpDocumentor website to my new server this weekend, so hopefully everything is working now.

If your going to be at the conference send me an email and we can chat over a beer about all the great stuff happening in the PHP world.

Someone did an ask slashdot on howto build gimp 2.0 on win32.

I think this post summed it upped pretty well:

Ask Slashdot: Helping people who can’t use search engines since 1999.

I don’t know what scares me more, that people ask a question to all of slashdot before using google, or that the editors let it go in.

Phpdoc.org was moved to my new server last night (well the dns change went through last night). You might have noticed the site was down for a couple hours, I missed the virtual host rule for the main website, doh. Let me know if you find that anything else is broken.

I love reading slashdot, not for the articles but for the comments. Todays favorite post was on a Poll about your favorite food group.

What’s the hardest part about eating a vegetable?

Swallowing the wheelchair.

Where else but slashdot, do you get these great insights on the human condition.

I have great co-workers, they gave me a gift.

Its the scariest robot ever made.

I think im going to go cry now.

I had an expensive Saturday morning, I got some new glasses and a hair cut. The glasses being the expensive part.

The frames are Armani. I also setup this photo hack, so you can all see pictures of my new look.
