Batteries not Included!

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

It’s raining, it’s pouring… the Jasyn.com is Snoring!!! He went to bed and hit the Snooze and forgot to get up this morning!….

Hello again my friends to another one of my weekly entries for Jasyn.com! And after another week of FUN happenings, instead of hiring a therapist, I pass along information to YOU, My loyal Jasyn.com readers!

Again another week in the books, and last week just seemed to drag on after my 4 day work week… You’d figure that being I had a long weekend last week that I’d be well rested and ready to take on the challenges of a new week at work… Well…. it didn’t quite work out that way… For some reason last week I couldn’t get a decent nights sleep all week… It got really bad that I thought maybe my diabetes was to blame for my lack of sleep, my lack of patience, and also some stomach problems that I’ll leave the details out of this entry… Well I left early on Friday [which is really my Thursday] and did a few tests from home…. Well come to find out… my diabetes is well under control… So again I was baffled… but after getting a full night sleep I was back to my good ol’ self on Saturday!

Well after work on Saturday, I tried to catch some of the Cardinals game… However, after a very short time, it became quote apparent that it was not going to be a game…. and their season was inevitably doomed! *sighs* well you can’t win them all… But then I packed a bag and headed over to Susan’s place once again to spend the weekend with her! Saturday night Susan’s roommate and husband treated us to dinner over at NYPD Pizza in Scottsdale, which we enjoyed a really nice pizza complimented with fried Calamari as an appetizer… then we ended up at Zia [one of my favorite stores] to pick up some entertainment value for our dollars :D and headed back to her place to get some Zzz’s and get our rest for the upcoming days ahead!

Lately Susan and I have been thinking of moving in together… Even though we’ve only been dating for a couple months, we have been very serious about our future together and have talked about the long term! This also including moving in together at the end of my lease which I believe comes up at the end of May… so Sunday we tried to meet up with a friend of her’s from work to look at a house for rent… However, when I tried to start my truck, it wouldn’t kick over… [GREAT!] So… luckily I carry jumper cables in my truck, and after a short wait, I was able to get a jump and headed over to Auto Zone… and after fiddling around with the battery and taking it in, I was surprised to find it under warranty and was able to get a replacement at no charge!! So after getting greased up [that sounded dirty! ;) ] I got the battery installed and we headed to the rental property and took a tour… it ended up being a bit beyond our pricing range we’re looking for but it was a nice place…

The rest of the weekend was pretty relaxing, which Susan and I were able to finish an anime series with Midori Days… Had a night out at the movies with my folks and dinner at the Olive Garden… and even being able to sleep in on Sunday… Kris also was able to get my birthday gift to me this week, which he got me the newest book from the Ender Series from Orson Scott Card, and another anime Series…. So overall it was a very good weekend once again!

Well I’m back to the ol’ Grind again this week… and this will be the first full work week that I’ve had in almost a month… I’m hoping to just make it to the weekend as quickly as possible, but most likely the week will drag on as usual… I’m optimistic that things will change but only time will tell :) But thank you again for reading my little entry this week… Take care and stay safe out there!

It’s Your Birthday Jasyn Dot Com

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Coming on in with another entry from Jasyn.com, Let’s do this thing!!! Sorry about the delay in my entry once again… boy 2010 is starting out with some delay’s on my end… not exactly a good sign, lol… But again without further adieu let’s get rolling with the entry…

Well this past week I was getting prepped for my birthday which was back on the 12th! So a couple months back, I took Saturday the 9th and Tuesday the 12th off to give myself an extended weekend to just relax and enjoy… Well after a dragging work week, Friday I headed up to Glendale to pick up Susan… After which we headed back to my place to watch cartoons and hang out and kick back for the night… Saturday I started the day by cleaning up and making breakfast, which I ended up burning the meats [go Jasyn!] but at least it was still eatable… Afterwards Susan got some more sleep and I got to playing some games and finishing up cleaning around the apartment….

About 5 I arrived at the bowling alley around the corner from me, only problem was that I had made reservations for a different bowling alley further in Mesa… So I had to call everyone that was on the way to the wrong alley and tell them where to go… well we did finally get everyone there about 5:30 or so and got 2 hours of bowling in for everyone… Shortly after we got finished bowling, we headed back to my place… well since everyone was treating me to drinks once again, I had Monte drive me home in my truck [Good Decision]… We partied for a while back at my place where I was able to open gifts, and even Holland [My Neighbor] baked me a birthday cake, and played buzz trivia… well… I guess in my ‘old age’ I can’t handle my liquor anymore, because I passed out once again from being too drunk… Well my parents decided to stick a bow on my [coughs] package… and then took pictures… so yeah… embarrassing, but clever!

Well Sunday Afternoon we headed back to Susan’s place, where Susan’s gift for me came in the mail the day prior… She really went all out and got me a customized Poker jersey with my name and favorite hand [Jack-Ten Spades] on the back! She really is an awesome girlfriend!!! After the awesome gift I decided to chill out and watched the Cardinals Playoff game against the Packers… and after almost pulling out all my hair from the game, by the end of it all the Cardinals came out on top and move on to New Orleans!!! Oiy… hopefully that turns out well also…

Monday and Tuesday were just blah days… I did get laundry done and did get a few errands completed, but pretty much stayed indoors and played video games and cranked out an Anime series that Kris got me for Xmas…. and that pretty much covers the week…

On a couple side notes before wrapping this entry up… A new position opened up for a web designer at my work… I’m really hoping to get that job and get off the phones for a while! That and I feel that job fits me better than any other position this company has to offer, so wish me the best of luck!!! … Okay, That’s it… I’m done for this week… Get back to your daily lives and check back next week ;)

Happy New Decade!

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Happy New Year, and the fresh start to a New Decade!!!! and Welcome everyone to another weekly entry from Jasyn.com!!! Can I hear a w00t-w00t??? After a short break, I’m back with a vengeance and ready to kick it into 5th gear and get the decade started off right… Well let’s crack the seal on this and get started!

First off, the past two weeks were pretty long for the most part… I believe this mainly due to Susan not being here and visiting her family back in Michigan… the Friday before Christmas I had left work then went up to Glendale to pick her up at her place so that I could see her off to the airport… The highlight of that was when I finally got to the airport, we got out of the truck and said our goodbyes but I picked her up and twirled her around while holding her, and someone had pulled up and said, “I’m not going to be able to out do that tonight!” LOL… Well it’s nice to know that I’m such a hard act to follow… But shortly after that we kissed goodbye and she left for Detroit and to her Family for the holidays…

Although I severly missed Susan, I still kept myself pretty busy with cleaning and just getting ready for Christmas… and when Christmas finally rolled around, Jasyn.com was prepared!!! I had to work on the Xmas Eve, so after work, I booked it to my apartment, then grabbed all the gifts and loaded them into my truck and headed westward! Monte was having a Xmas eve dinner at his place, so I stopped by there first and waited for my family to show up as well… My Aunt Cindy was in town as well for her usual rounds this time of year, and it was very fun… But with the lack of sleep I got that morning, I ended up passing out on the couch at about 8:30 or so… and then my family thought it’d be funny to mess with the sleeping guy [Oh I woulda done the same, but still that's messed up!]… after waking up, I left out of there about 9:30 and headed to my parents house to crash for the night, however after my little mini-nap I didn’t get back to sleep til about 2AM because Kris wanted me to keep him company while he was wrapping his gifts, but at least no one woke me up til 9 AM…

The next morning, like all Christmas mornings, included my brother and I ransacking our stockings… and then getting a good breakfast with the complete compliment of meats and eggs [Yummy!!!]… for Christmas I was able to get my Brother the RockBand Bundle, My mom I got earrings and 2 digital picture frames, and my father and Erik a Personalized Red Wings Jersey… Everyone, as usual, loved their gifts from me… as for me, I was given several different Anime series, a brand new Camera, and tons of other movies too :) so a good haul for me as well… but I mainly like Christmas for seeing the face of the people I get gifts for more than what I get anyways… But after Xmas dinner, and a bit of rest, I went back home to work on Saturday [Ugh... sucks to get a day off to only come back to work another day]…

Well at least that weekend I got a lot done, Jasyn.com is now officially backed up on disk! I know… what took me so long!!! Well with the issues I had with my computer last month, I figured a external backup would be greatly beneficial… so my hiatus was also productive, that and I had an excuse to use my light scribe dvd burner too :) [Evil laugh]…

Well after another shortened week, New Years Eve I attended the Insight Bowl at Sun Devil Stadium… Well as usual I had to work that morning… but when I got home, I filled my flask with some rum and brought a couple Sparks with me… My folks picked me up and went to the game with me… and I got away with sneaking in my booze into the stadium… It was great times I’ll tell ya, I was drunk by halftime and was feeling good!!! But Jasyn.com was also safe, and instead of driving home, I took the new Light Rail then the Bus home.. When I got home, my neighbors came by and we watched Star Trek, but I passed out towards the end, and none of us made it til midnight… I guess starting to drink at 3:30 and try and stay awake the next 8 or so hours…. But shortly after my neighbors left, I went to use the restroom and got sick… and what did I learn? Walking long distances while being hammered is not a novel idea for me!!! Also on a side note, wasn’t it weird that we ended the decade on a Blue Moon??? Just something to think about…

Finally after two weeks, Susan came back home on the 2nd and we spent this past weekend together… After work on Saturday, and Susan finally made it back to my apartment, we went to Glendale and to the Coyotes/Wings Game!!! And then we pretty much relaxed the remainder of the weekend…

So that’s pretty much the wrap up for the past couple weeks… Everything has been super busy and we’re now a week away from 26th birthday :) and this week will also be short with me taking Saturday and Tuesday off [Yay for a 4 day weekend]!!! So this will be another party weekend!!! So until next week, be safe out there!

[Happy New Decade!]
