the second phase

Hey people.

Happy New Years! Hope everyone had a great year and is making up their resolutions so that they can break them!

As for me, I’m trying to save more money and pay off my credit cards. We’ll see how that goes. I don’t have anything really to report in the life of Steve. I’m going to be putting up the status project that I’ve been working on so you can see my leet code-foo. Then you can see how much better dragon style is than tiger style.

Going to go get ready for tonight! Need to get some appetizers and stuff. Stay safe everyone.

Just read this story. Then sit there with your mouth wide open and wonder why you didn’t do this.

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope your holiday’s are filled with happiness and joy.

I wanted to post this awesome link ( http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10467269/ ). It’s the year’s events in photos, some of which are startlingly beautiful. It makes me want to take my camera out right now, except, well, there’s nothing I can think of to go photograph.

So if you have any ideas on what I should go photograph, tell me! I’ll try and go out and take pictures of whatever topic I’m given to a certain degree. I’m just lacking on ideas in general. I can, after all, only photograph my dogs so many times.

Oh, and please, go visit Ryan Bond and tell him how much tiger style sucks.

That’s right, more photos are up and I’ve still got more to go! Hopefully I can get the rest of them online sometime this weekend. I bought my new lens recently and it’s been really nice taking photos with it.

In other news, I’ve now limited myself to $15 a day for eating, which brings me to about 450$ per month for food, which isn’t anything! I actually was spending about $900 a month before! That’s HALF my paycheck just on FOOD! Hopefully with this new plan, I will have more money and be able to get rid of these bothersome credit card bills. Once that is done, I’ll be able to start looking for a house!

Most of the galleries are organized now. It’s a slow, agonizing process. Gallery2 does a nice job, but I could see some room for improvement in some areas. As for real life things, we had our company christmas party this weekend and it was a blast! Jodi has some photos that I’ll have to download and post my favorites.

Operation Room Clean is almost complete, although I still have a large mountain of clothes to conquer. We’ll see how well I do that this week. In other news, the poker table is almost done, we’re just awaiting the arrival of the foam from Texas. Once that is here, it should only be a night’s work to complete the table. Then it’s onto playing!

I’ve got the galleries up, you can access them via the sidebar. I’m still trying to organize them all and I’m getting rid of the crappy ones. I’ve got a bunch more to upload too! My new lens arrives soon so hopefully I’ll even have more photos to put up! If you’re interested in having your own gallery on here, just let me know!

Woo!

USC: 66
UCLA: 19

Yeah baby, that’s what it’s all about! Now if the Bengals can just pull it out…

Wow. This game just looks simply amazing. If you haven’t checked it out yet, head over to Gamespot and watch the trailers. It is created by the same guys that made Dawn of War, which we all know was a totally badass game. Same type of game, just now in World War II and with better graphics and physics! I’ll be in RTS heaven!

Ok, it’s time for bed now. I’ve gotten WordPress up and working for now. I think I’ll play around with the themes later on, but I’ve found a decent one, although I really wish the author of this one would release his current theme. I had to make a few modifications to this one for it to look better ( c’mon, light blue titles? ugh. )

Anyways, time for bed. USC plays UCLA tomorrow! Go Trojans!
