Procrastination 101 – expertly executed by yours truly

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

time-fliesRemembered again today that I have a site I was trying to start working on but had masterfully put off long enough to have forgotten about it, again. As part personal exploration project and part future marketing tool, I aspire to start adding an abundance of useful, interesting content about stuff people may want to come read, as well as some pontification and explanation of my past, present and future, for the therapeutic effect previously mentioned. However, I have become such a master procrastinator over the years that, when teamed with my “tuned to forget everything” memory, the list of aspirations just continues to get longer and longer and nothing gets accomplished. So, how does that work? you ask. How could you possibly put off so much but yet still be so busy? If nothing gets accomplished, how do you get anything done? These are all questions I ask myself all the time and although the answer to them all is clear and right in front of me, I just put off solving the puzzle, again and again, and again. To go into depth and get to the heart of the situation will take some time so buckle your seatbelt. Basically it all started back…Actually, I’m really busy right now and don’t have time to keep working on this, I’ll come back and finish it later…

Ever talk to yourself and wonder if anyone is listening?

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

I do, well not out loud, uh unless you count this as talking out loud, in which case I guess I do and, well, I know nobody is listening to this…
what’s more troubling is: when talking to one’s self and knowing that nobody is listening, why keep talking? It’s bad enough to be talking to yourself, its worse if you’re not even listening to yourself talk I mean, what’s the point, what is there to say that you can’t just think…wait, what was I just saying?

What I find more interesting is how in some ways doing this makes me a hypocrite because although I choose to talk to nobody, I still feel that need to talk out loud about shit that doesn’t matter and nobody cares about, which I guess makes me a little bit like everyone else on all the social media sites that I can’t stand…why do so many people in the world feel the need to express every little thing that happens every 5 minutes in their life…status update: woke up late again, shouldn’t be posting this, should be getting ready for work…status update: stayed in the shower too long again but the hot water is just so addictive, again wasting time typing this instead of getting to work…status update: just went to the toilet…status update: stuck in traffic…status update: stubbed my toe yay!…status update: Yur Mom…what the fuck people??? AHH It kills me, this is horrible, why did I start typing…

troy-needs-moneyAt some point soon I’m gonna have to find a more productive way to waste time when i’m super bored at work and just wanna go home and lounge on the couch but can’t…or at least I need to start writing about shit that matters…shit that people will actually wanna come find and read…and then monetize the shit outta the site and start promoting it so I can get some traffic and make some money for restraining myself from actually typing out the stupid rambles that happen in my head hahaha!

Sometimes you love them and sometimes you want to kill them…but then you’re reminded every 5 minutes or so how hilarious they are when the send you pictures like this. A lot of funny random pics pop up in IM throughout the day but once in while one just grabs you, or is funnier than the others. This one in particular I thought amusing enough to save and look at several times over the course of a week before deciding to make a nice color print of it and hang it on my office wall…right above the business license.
funny as hell pic of benicio del churro

Now, I can’t really say why I like it so much, or what is really so amusing about it and now that it’s been hanging here a while I don’t even notice it most of the time but occasions like this when it does catch my eye and I find myself wondering again, “what the fuck, how do so many people have so much free time on their hands and the sense of humor to really go through with creating all these crazy pictures?” I wish I could find them and thank them and then punch them in the face for the hours of lost productivity in the office every week and then thank them again for letting us all laugh explosively several times a day and forget that we want to kill each or our computers half the time. Yeah, so anyway…GBTW fuckers!

HPE 800 2010 Camaro Goodness

Yeah so lot’s of stupid people like to post all over forums and blogs to let everyone know they got a new car or like a new car or “pimped out” their car, etc.,etc. This of course makes me feel especially like a douchebag for making this pic my desk top background and wanting to talk about it every time I look at it. Unfortunately, I can’t help it, this car is not only a sick 800hp twin turbo HPE800 2010 Camaro, but it just has that look and feel, that stance and that “fuck you, I’ll just go around you then” attitude that I love and well, live by on the road.

Actually I just love Camaros in general and I especially fucking Love the “feel” of this car. Truly, I would really like to have one of every generation, although as iconic as the first gens are, I could go without the price tag they fetch these days. A nice 79-81 second gen Z28 with a big block-turbo transplant mated to a 700R4 and some 3.08 gears could make for a fun daily driver. A clean 96-97 4th gen Pro Charged 383 LT1 Z28 with an SS hood and spoiler, dropped an inch or two and sitting on some Torque Thrust II’s would be pretty sweet. The Iron block LT1 just has a different sound than the later ls motors that I really like like. An 02 SS with an LS3 swap and Magnuson or e-force set up would be real fun too though, hmmm.

Of course, this brings us back to this car. Now, although I don’t think I could ever let myself spend $150k on a special order model like this, I do fully intend to own a 2012 Z28 should GM decide make it, and if not, well a nice 2SS with an edelbrock e-Force package, some other suspension and performance goodies and a badge swap will do almost as nicely…Indeed.

Doing things that make your brain hurt…why?

So…been busy smackin my head against the keyboard a lot lately…back to doing web design and seo, etc. Anyway, after a particularly long week of 16 hour days trying to go blind and get carpal tunnel, I came across a picture that puts everything into perspective. I can personally say after spending hours today working on a complex, multi-rowed, spanning, floating and layering, column induced cluster fuck of a css page template, that I definitely agree with the pie chart and sorely miss tables haha.
