I'm a leaf on the wind...

Another boring day here. Nothing happening at all today. I did take a good look at my fish tank, and decided I want to drain it. And then put a layer of soil on the bottom for my plants. Then get more plants. Aquariums with plants look so much nicer. Not that mine looks bad now, but I feel bad for the plants not having any soil to sink their roots in. They must be sad. But they are flourishing well. They've grown a lot and my grass has started to sprout new shoots. That's exciting. I'm gonna work on that tomorrow with Zach. I'm torn as to whether or not I should use sand on the bottom of the tank rather than the normal aquarium gravel though. The sand just looks so nice, but I'm worried about the bottom dwellers. Check out some of these tanks... here. Although, that wasn't the link I was looking for, it's still the general idea. Those tanks look amazing. I'll have to search around for the other site I was looking at. Ah, well. Tomorrow will be an exciting day. Of course, those crazy tanks were Japanese inspired. The Aqua Design Amano place is located in Japan. There's a branch in Houstan, though, it seems. ADA

I watch this movie today called Serenity. It was pretty good. I would watch it again. I think the moral of the story was don't let your leaders have absolute control. Don't blindly listen to your governing party. The government in this movie created the zombies, so to speak. It had this crazy assassin dude and a badass, fighting, little girl. It was slightly inspiring if you ever need motivation to start your own revolution. The line I liked the most was "I'm a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar." Several meanings could be there, aside from the one relevant to the movie where the pilot was avoid wrecking into shit during a nasty space battle. I prefer to think of it as a nice way to move through life.

BUT

Another boring day. Although work was pretty exciting today. Some crazy stuff happened with some people's phones. Some things I really couldn't believe happened. But I best not talk about that stuff.

I've gotten some work done on the troubleshooting guide I'm working on. I'm pretty happy about that. I think it's lame that my company wouldn't spring for the licenses for Visio so we can make something to help all the agents in the call center work better and decrease time for resolution of issues. Lame-sauce, I say. Whatev,...their loss. So my working materials for this big project are like...notepad + MS Paint. It's gonna rock, I tell you!!

Anyways, I'm really really really bored here tonight. It's a shame. I've worked 5 days straight this week, which is a long week for me. day 1 - 9 hours, day 2 - 13.5 hours, day 3 - 11 hours, day 4 - 11 hours, and day 5 - 11 hours. I'm glad to just be able to have some time to not have to worry about sleeping...haha. Or rather worry that I need to sleep because I have to get up the next day.

So I was perusing around the interweb and found some interesting music. I found this band called Perfume, which has a pretty cool techno-pop style, I guess like...europop. I don't think I like everything I heard, but it might grow on me. There's this other group (I guess...?) called Capsule, which has some pretty neet stuff too. A bit different and retro-like, but good. I think if I listen to it more, it would stick in my brain and I would start liking it. There's not too much stuff I've listened to and liked on the first listen. These things take time. At least it didn't sound like a beer can going through a paper shredder. XD

Also, I found this pretty dirty video for Koda Kumi. But I dig the song. She performed this at Rhythm Nation 2007 and another song called Girls, which was a completely different style from this. I liked both. Watching her perform for it was actually really cool. Here's some info I found on it from this other dude's blog...

BUT / Aishou is Kumi Koda’s 35th single and was released on March 14, 2007. The single is a limited release. BUT is described to be a “destructive”, “four on the floor” dance track and a “time machine dance style” song by the Japanese, and “Aishou“, meaning “love proof”, will be a love ballad. BUT will also be the theme song for the Japanese edition of the movie, Step Up.

Back...?

I am bored with not much to do. I haven't updated this bad boy in a long time. And there's really not much going on with me. I pushed a lot at work and am gonna get some cool things started, which reminds me, I should update the resume with that. It'll look good. Anyways, maybe more to come...

Not sure yet!

Peace out.
