yah right forget red bull

I don't know the name of this thing but I will find out
But its a drink like red bull but much more efficient.
My Demo/haz mat boss troy gave me it one day
I had gone to bed at 4am, and he phoned me and begged me to come work at 6am.
He offered me pay and a half, and energy drinks =P
I get paid by the site not hour, I get around 100-200 a site depending on size and how well the sites are done.
They usually take like 5-8 hours each.
2 job sites that day, both big houses, 175 for one 200 for the other.
He gave $565, though it was a 15 hour day, thats like 38 an hour.
and he took me drinking afterwards.
haha I love troy, hes the awsomest old person I know.

well essays done, gotta get up in 5 hours for school, guess whos stopping at tim hortons on the way?

gainesville? they have architects up there? haha. i dont know of anyone up there. only this civil firm i used to work for who had an office located there. there arent really any more firms that are very worth it around here. still primarily coporate. the atlanta job discussion did list some new firms that are quite talented. they just havent gotten really known yet.

i hate writing papers. i think i am supposed to have a rough draft of my thesis book next monday. i have four pages of text. thats all. doesnt look like it is going to happen. not with jury the same day.

Was just in town last xmas. I miss it from time to time, I like the weather, and the trees. My folks live out in the brubs, but they moved there way back when it was mostly farms and woods. Now it is surrounded by Mc. Mansions. My old neighborhood has gone to shit.

It's april in NYC, it is unseasonably cold and seasonably wet, so i'm not liking it too much right tnow.

that blows man. I'm suprised i haven't heard more archinectors expressing an interest it Travis, i figured the two may go together.

On a realted note, i am debating with myself about wether or not "Holiday in Cambodia" may be the best punk rock song ive come across. I love me some Dead Kennedys.

I am still unable to organize my thoughts about the VT incident, and I'm hundreds of miles away. I wonder how they are coping. I even called my ex (who I vowed I would never talk to again half a year ago) because she just graduated from VT and works on campus. I'm once again in that mode where every thing seems so trivial.

Hang in there, Philarch. My aunt, whose son in law is in Iraq, told me that she remembers this when she's frustrated with all the laundry she has to do for her four kids: doing your loved one's laundry is a joy because it means they are near to you. Mundane things can be either trivial or a blessing.

can't sleep, clowns'll eat me!

i just got up after tossing and turning for a couple of hours. i gave up, turned the lights on, busted out my sketchbook (which i hadn't so much as spilt a drop of ink onto in nearly two months) and filled up a few pages.

the creative juices are back!!!

sorry dude, no drawings... yet!

i was just jotting down notes for an idea for a project a friend of mine proposed. we're still brainstorming, but it's a really cool project, and i definitely want to share it with you guys, but now is not the time.

as soon as we get the ball rolling, i'll post it up!!!

'So what do you do?'

'Well, I'm an architect' [please note the lowercase 'a' in my situation]

'Ohmigod, you must love The Fountainhead. It's my favorite book. I mean, you've read it, haven't you?'

After years and years of holding my head in shame as I respond that I haven't quite gotten to The Fountainhead in my knee-buckling load of books, I am finally on a mission to read it. I started this weekend and, as of seven minutes ago, I'm on page three hundred and thirty seven.

My late night threads are no more until the full story of Howard Roark is embedded in my head.

n_, I am another embarrassed soul that has not read the book. Could you do me a favor - rather than reading, could you talk into a microphone and make an audio book tape? That will save me some time - I can listen to it in my car while I am driving :)

well that was fun.

I wanna read that book someday, but there is something about objectivism, i can follow its reasoning, but it just seems so extreme.
