just.friends

i started to do a bit of dating i guess you could call it, but its not dating if both people agree its not dating so i guess its "hanging out"
i asked this one girl to hangout where i temp at and she said sure but she's not looking to date right now. i said thats cool we can just hang. we ended up going out to eat at an irish pub. i got a grilled chicken sandwich and she got some sausage/turkey sandwich..we then drove to a place called la jolla which i pronounced "la joe-luh" haha - she got a good laugh out of that. she took to me through the little shopping district they have which is really cool but looks very expensive. we drove a bit down the street and ended up at the beach. the beach is awesome there - it's basically a rocky beach with cliffs. its very pretty, and i guess the sea lions sit on the beach in the day time.
after the beach we drove to her house and hung out with her roomate and watched a bit of tv and then i went home. she's very cute, confident and intelligent. we differ on things like politics where she is a right wing republican and i am a democrat. she's motivated to be something important in life and i am motivated to just live one day at a time and enjoy life by working as least i can. she and i hung out again tonight and we watched the movie "saved" which i brought over for her to keep since she is kind of religious - she says "spirtual"
her roomate, her friend and i were there to watch the movie. i'd like to get to know her better but i dont think she is interested in that. i think she strictly just wants to be friends. i love friends =P

who's down with the g-o-d?

this.is.the.new year

2005 came with bang literally! dave, erica & i hung out with our friends laurie, kevin & mike at a bar in ocean beach. it was a hippie bar, that had this hippie jam band guy with a poet/rapper dude performing. it was different but alot of the same old boring hippie jam shit. dave had alot to drink that night and when we were driving back to laurie's house he passed out. i opened the door to let him out of the car and he little fell head first out of the car. i caught his head so thankfully his head only hid the cement a little bit. we then got him to walk a bit by kevin, mike & i holding him up. we reached the fences entrance and he fell again - threw up everywhere and passed out again. we then got him into laurie & mike's house and he continued to puke. we left him there for the night and i picked him up the next morning. he recovered the rest of the day at our house.
friends in 2005

i started a new temp job today. it's a pretty lame assignment, calling companies IT departments and asking them questions about their servers and phone systems. i asked the trainer what the company gets, by doing the survey over the phone with us and she said nothing. it seems to be a pretty lame job. i mean why would someone that works at a company want to sit on the phone for 15 minutes and do some lame interview and get nothing out of it. it makes no sense to me at all. once we have all the info we wanted we then sell it to big name tech companies.

office.space.depression.&.money

erica and i were talking and i asked her if life ever becomes satisfying. i wonder if i would ever be satisfied even if i had a million dollars. the question of what would you do if you had a million dollars was asked in the movie office space, and peter the main character answered i wouldn't do anything i'd sit on my ass and do nothing. i would do the same thing as him. why would you want to do anything that involves work?
