Confessions of a TV Series Addict

addiction: The condition of being habitually or compulsively occupied with or or involved in something.

usually, people are addicted to things like drugs. i am addicted to House...and One Tree Hill. the One Tree Hill addiction came first when the girlfriend came home with season 1 on DVD. i was somewhat reluctant, but she insisted. a few episodes in, i was hooked. after the 1st season, we got the 2nd and 3rd...then the 4th and 5th. we finished all five seasons in no time. actually, too fast. we've been One Tree Hill-less for over a month and it's kind of excrutiating. i've got to know what happens. good thing the next season comes out on DVD on the 25th or 28th of this month. T-minus 9 or 12 days.

as for House, the addiction is a little different. i saw House when it first came on TV. it was completely awesome. it was different, crazy, funny, shocking...and addictive. unfortunately for me, i always missed it and my satellite was canceled and have been going without actual TV for pretty much over a year. therefore, i haven't seen very many episodes. so, we got the first season last week and can't stop watching it. season 1 is over and we're now moving on to season 2. it is such a good show.

oh yeah...on top of House and One Tree Hill, there's also The Office. We burned through the first four seasons in no time. season numero five comes out soon. i'm never going to get any sleep.

Weekend With the Family

headed to the lake this weekend. my folks rented a cabin on the lake in Blueridge. it should be fun. fishin', swimmin', guitar-pickin', scary-movie-watchin', and all sorts of country bumpkin fun. maybe i'll have some stories to post when i get back. who knows, Jason could even show up. i know it's not Crystal Lake or anything, but maybe he's on some kind of summer lake tour. if not, i think he should. he could tour lake camping spot around the country and scare people. then, he could sell t-shirts. they could say,"I Survived Camping while Getting Attack by Jason...and all I got was this stupid shirt (and an awesome machete wound!)". it could be yet another way to keep the Friday the 13th legacy going. they could even film it and release it as a special feature in the next one. that would be sweet.

Barely Alive from Nine-to-Five

today was my first day back after my little vacation. don't get me wrong, i am truly thankful for my job in these trying times, but boy do i dislike it. at times, there's too much to do. i run around for "The Man" and complete some truly rediculous tasks and then when i'm done, he has me redo it. we have a small warehouse with few emloyees and a lot of work and even more material. do the math:

small warehouse
few employees
a lot of work
+ even more material
a really messy warehouse with a bunch of chickens
running around with their heads chopped off.

then, there are times when i find myself wandering aimlessly through the vast and cluttered aisles searching for tile that i don't need and/or staring off into space. the tiles become particles of air...invisible. but there are times when i just check my email or facebook, knowing there will be no updates or comments...or messages...or anything truly worth my time. but i think to myself, "finding nothing is better than finding something useful to do." that's kind of sad now that i put it to words. maybe i'll try to find more work to do when i'm bored from now on. but then again, my phone also plays YouTube videos.

Copy Cat #1

just checking if sending pics from my phone works. ps, keep an eye out for this guy. he's vicious.

pss, this picture is a picture of a picture of me that was produced by a copy machine at work.

Testing...testing...1,2,3. Guess the mobile posts work.

Photo Ops

i went to the bathroom some time ago. yea, i do that sometimes. i decided to give the viewers a taste of my experience in a public restroom. enjoy.

Vacation: Day 2

well, it's less like a vacation and more like a few sick days in a row. day 1 was spent watching movies and renewing my tag and licence. i had been driving illegally for over a month. i know, i know, i'm such an outlaw. parents, keep your children away...i'm bad news. anyways, day 2 started at 8:00am which isn't quite what i would normally do on a day off. the girlfriend and i met up with her cousin and her guy to enjoy a day a Six Flags (over Georgia) courtesy of a couple BOGO coupons. the day started off rainy. but it turned out to be a good thing considering there weren't a whole lot of people. we were on the rides within about 15 minutes of waiting. if you've ever been to an amusement park, you know how the typical 1 hr + waits are anything but amusing. the sun came out after a while and most everything dried up. then, it started raining again. then it stopped. then it started. it was as if God was playing with the water fosset. but it was a great time. the only long wait we had was for the Superman ride. so after about 10 hours on our feet in the rain...we called it quits. i can honestly say i have pretty much never been so glad to take off my socks and shoes.

Vacation: Day 3
began with movies. still watching movies. gonna go to church band practice soon. then, probably more movies.
