Hey everyone. I'm back up and online, and all snuggled into the new apt in Chandler. It's strange, how I started my life here, and now I've come full circle here for my wedding.
Rachel and I registered today at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. (Every time I hear the name of the store, I think of that episode of The Simpsons!) We went bowling with Brandon, and donated all my old clothes. We spent time with Ava and Khosrow and Shahla, and get this: Natalie became a Bahá'í today! That should be an interesting twist for brandon, but they really seem to be into each other and they seem good for one another. we'll see how this plays out.
Sarah also got the chance to meet them, (FINALLY), and I ordered my tuxedo! Wewt! It's been a fairly productive weekend, all in all... and though this week will be laced with it's ins and outs, I already look forward to this next coming weekend. I guess there's always just so much to do, you never know when it's all done.
Speaking of all done, I'd better crawl into bed as I originally intended before I'M all done.

Moving Day
Alright everyone, this is it. Moving day. If you don't hear from me for a while, I'm having conflicts with my new services.

From Dust and Ash
In the desert of a former life
In the sands of past despair and loneliness
Amidst the ashes of a forgotten time
Something stirs
A breeze without wind
A movement in the stillness
Unearths a small, insignificant form
Into the light of day
It is a creature born of love. Her love.
It is her Love that makes the tiny heart beat
That gives it the strength to stand
Against the natural inertia of the great desert
It is her trust that shields it from harm
From the heat and the Destruction of the harsh conditions
Of its own former world
It is her certitude that gives it knowledge
That makes it self aware
That gives it the reasoning to percieve
It is her beauty, her light, that brings it awe.
That opens its eyes to joy
That brings to it a sense of purpose
Her Ardour Courses the fire of life through the creatures veins
Her surety grows into armor... light as feathers, hard as diamond
Her conviction and faith brings it the power to arise from the dust
Her Splendor brings a song to its soul
The phoenix takes flight into a new realm
A realm of limitless skies,
Into a world of endless hope,
where dreams are reality,
and all that is real is a dream
In this world does my heart sing these words
For all ears to hear
These keys can never do the song justice
But the heart knows the song.

Bizzare news
So I'm doing what I should never do, flipping through the news. I gotta tell you, It's Bizzare.
One one newsfeed: Barack Obama is speaking to Troops about the raise he will be giving the soldiers, the support he will give them, and the now-solid timeline to leave Iraq. On another feed, Joe Biden is speaking with a panel on green jobs, who discusses with him the anticipation urban families have for these jobs, to create an infrastructure without a history of segregation, as well as limiting pollution, something everyone can be proud of.
At the same time, there's a discussion on focusing on investment: How 3,000 dollars of investment will pay of in energy costs in 2 years, and how giving organic diets to children in schools saves thousands in health care issues down the road; and how investing in helping peoplee learn to read to prepare them for jobs potentially saves $35,000-$50,000 in jailing these individuals when they do something reactionary.
Then there's the feed from CPAC, the conservative conference, Where someone spent his speech questioning whether or not Hawaii is a part of the United States and whether or not Barack Obama is a US Citizen, and another spent his speech on how Obama took the Republican Ideas last year and used them as his own during the election. They're now discussing how the stimulus package was a bad idea.
...Is this really the news today?

Webhosting down. =(
So why is it whenever one goes to make changes to one's website, said free webhosting site goes down? (that makes me a sad panda).
Granted, I've been working on it for a while, but no one visits my website anyway, so Meh. I just thought it'd be nice to stick my new blog on the RSS feed instead of the old one. still, it was giving me grief. I'll have to work on it later.
Had a nice relaxing weekend. Hung out with my family, watched Iron Man with Rachel and her mom, worked on her sister's computer. (Thing has the same virus my windows system caught, and it's nasty). Packed a bit more, got some laundry done, the usual. Still can't believe I move in less than 2 weeks.
here come the calls for the day.

Bare White Walls
Either I've been locked in an asylum, or I've taken pretty much all of the pictures/posters/etc off of my walls. I'm guessing the latter, as the front door is locked on this side, and my desk is still a mess.
So far, I've got about 9 boxes filled with my library. That includes mostly books, and some DVD's and CD's, for data, movies and music. That, of course, doesn't include whats on my spindles or my media cases with my office stuff.
I'm baffled by the sheer volume of it all. I know i should start sorting what I should be throwing away BEFORE I move, but It'll be a lot easier in the new office, and I'm on a schedule right now. I know me, and I'm prone to get sidetracked when I sort stuff, so best to leave that for later.
I'm doing yet another load of laundry. I'm thinking I GOTTA get rid of this bed, it's past it's point. I just did the dishes, and there's still more in here. I need to throw out the old bath mats and the futon frame, and the broken vaccum, and I just realized there's another two boxes of notebooks for the library.
Aye Caramba.
At least most of the closet is still in boxes. There are sheets and stuff I'll have to pack away, and some old camping stuff I'll have to toss. My Computer hardware will go just before the kitchen. And the scouring must commence soon. As it is, I'm looking for that tube of nail-hole filler I have around here somewhere... (I'm GONNA get that bloody deposit back!)
Closet. hmm... Well crap half this stuff doesn't fit me anymore anyway. I'd better Put that in a place with a plan for it. As for this Nightstand of doom... We'll see just how long I can endure it.
This desk. ...It's a horrible eyesore. It's massive, but its an eyesore. if I still had the inner parts that roll out that wouldn't be so bad, but I don't. I'm really thinking workbench. ...or firewood. But all I would have in it's place until Rachel and I can get a desk shaped to accomidate us both is a tiny little thing.
And Omg I have dresser drawers.
It's amazing all the crap you realize when you're moving. This whole ramble (as if you couldn't tell) has been off the top of my head.
I suppose if I'm even gonna TRY to put this massive projector TV from the 80's on Craigslist, I'd better get a camera and do it now. Otherwise, it'll end up in front of my dumpster come the 7th. It's just not worth moving, with the guns out of sync and all. Besides, I can likely fix up that 32" LCD for a hundred bucks or so.
I've been rambling so long now without any other content to this blog, I'm beginning to wonder if I'm not really in an asylum. ...or at least, belong in one.
Almost forgot. The Sofa and loveseat have to go to Rachel's theatre.
Why am I blogging all of this? No idea. Maybe Im overcaffinated? I guess the brain just has to logistically determine what it is I'm doing, and since there's nobody here to go over this with me, I naturally started writing. This must be by far the most boring blog I've ever written.
So. Rachel and I determined it's picnic time on Valentines day. That should be fun. I was actually willing to go on that red dress run, but she said she didn't put our names in for it. ...I didn't realize there was a deadline. Guess I'm spared the red dress. That means I continue my record of never having been in Drag... except onstage performing "Some Like it Hot". (The part, mind you, is a guy on the run from the mob pretending to be a girl... who has a crush on Marilyn Monroe).
She's right though. It's a goofy thing to do and I'm a goofy guy. I'd probably have a good time. ...I'm sure she'll rope me into it next year. This year, it's our first real Valentine's together. I'd better make it a good picnic. ;-)
