Well, this has been a bizzy month. Tonight I am just trying to pay some bills and catch up on a few things.

Gary! Guess what I have been doing…? I got started collecting comic books again within the last couple months. This time it seems mostly DC more than Marvel… because Marvel has become way way too confusing! I am liking JLA, Teen Titans, and this book that combines Superman and Batman. I even bought back issues. Today I read this book called the Outsiders and think that one sounds kinda interesting too. In Marvel, I am trying to figure out what the hell is happening to the X-Men. I also am picking up the Avengers and a few scattered others.

I find that reading the comics is a little relaxing and fun to get involved in the character histories. Who knew Wonder Girl was killed??? Well, there is a new one again. Super Girl is back again… Super Boy’s plot line with the Teen Titans is actually remortely interesting. The new Kid Flash is a hottie… but that is another story.

Anway, I am having a little fun reading them.

I am trying to get enrolled in school again! The University of Phoenix is all over the place and if I move or whatever I can always attend that school…

We bought a new dining table. I will update things about the new apartment and the new table as soon as I can in the Other section of my site…. check it out for updates soon!

I’ll write more soon…. 🙂

I’ve been a little bizzy this week with stuff… my best bud from ghigh school came to visit this week from California. He lives in Visalia now and is a Sherriff out there…

Anyway, they arrived and we planned on spending a lot of time together and we did. Life was also deminding my time this week as well. We managed to rondevous Tuesday for what was supposed to be a mutual sky-diving trip. They said I was too big for it. The company is all over the internet and they suck in my opinion… but what mattered was that Terry was happy.

Well, Terry was pissed off the first day. The idiots running the show at the sky diving place dropped the ball and had to cancel drops for the afternoon. Terry ended up going back on his onw the next day and jumped gleefully from 15000 feet… meanwhile, because of my great girth I held the earth in orbit from Las Vegas.

Anyway, after leaving the jump-place on Tuesday we went to Hilton and partook in the Star Trek exhibits… Klingon Encounter and the new Borg Encounter 4-D … Borg is less entertaining than the Klingon Encounter for sure! At least the Klingon Encounter takes one’s breath away on occasion.

On Wednesday we met at my place for dinner. I decided to make one of my favorite dishes: Beef Wellington, Creamed Corn and a salad. The salad was a spinach salad with a cremy balsamic I made. THEN for desert I made a Lavender Enfused Creme Brulee!!!!!!!

Terry… If you read this skid this paragraph and do not disobey! So, we went shopping for the food to make this happen and I nealry pooped myself for the cost of the meat alone. It was a 70$ piece of meat… holy crap-a-tolla! So, we made it happen anyway.

Dinner went off well and I was happy about it.. so as long as they were happy too… I am happy.

Other news!

Yesterday Adolfo and I signed a new lease… so we’re moving starting the 21st. We are also seriously pimping for gift cards for Target and Cost Plus to help furnish the new apartment. We have also decided to get rid of the CRAP we have now to fill the new place.

It’s another 2 bedroom. This one has a wood burning fire place and a walk-in pantry that this palce does not have. I anticipate creating a whole new energy at this new place!!!!! Yeah!

WOW.. that was a lot to update… huh?

A girl at work asked me a question today: “Do you have any regrets?” I answered “yes” immediately… it was a simple question to me. I have fell into several pit-falls in my life and have made a variety of wrong turns. I did not fixate on it, but she continued asking:

So, I told her the first regret was getting out of the Air Force when I did. I believed in Ron Reagan and the wealth of jobs waiting for me when I would leave the service after 6 years. The truth is I ended up living in a house with a hole in the roof the size of a volkswagen bug… I was getting $50/week from unemployment to live off of. It was the first of several wrong decisions in life I can recall.

Frightfully, I am drawn into reflection of my pitfalls. I have been impulsive and rash on some decsions, but amazing enough I have come out of it like a phoenix before decending in ash once again.

I would like to see my fire rise again as I feel I am in a huge transitional state. I have been in this limbo before, but I have been less effected by it previously. I feel frustrated and misguided. I am weighted down and restrained to the earth. I feel like I should be flying instead of crawling like granite.

Although this may sound dramatic… this hand may be overly played… I am preparing to go to bed and start a new day tomorrow.

1. Leaving the Air Force in 1989

2. Breaking up with Ron Herrera when / how I did.

3. Hurting John Bumanlag’s feelings.

4. Hurting Bill Torres feelings … I loved them.

5. Killing a rabbit when I was a kid (I was 10).

And there are some far less significant things it is impossible to put into words. They have to do with some of the sexual adventures I went on through life… not of them brought me happiness.

Anyway… til next time.

Looks like I might stay with the Venetian for a little while. I was thinking I might not stay past my probation period, but I decided to stay still for a little while and try and save some money. I am wondering what the next step is????

Anyway, I was sure I would just up and move in March, but I have too many other things to consider. Adolfo being the most important feature, Tom, and the many freinds we’re making here. e-gads!

Anway, I saw HellBoy today! It was pretty good. There are some serious Old Testament brushes in it… some of them not so obvious. I picked up a few interesting bits including something about my favorite angel: Uriel (the name of the web site, duh!). Another angel name is thrown around… Suriel; the angel of death. Interesting….

smooches

In one week Terry will be here from California to celebrate his birthday!!!!! Yipee!!! We plan on going sky diving and plummet to our mutual deaths while loved ones watch on…. is that sick or what?

Terry is a sweet guy (he is reading this too) and I look forward to seeing him. His wife and step-son are so sweet I am excited they are returning.

It is not like we can find the time to go anywahere is it???? So we have to count on people coming to see us!?!?!?!

Other news… well, my job search outside of Las Vegas is falling flat. I have many goals and maybe they are too scattered? I have this new AS degree and it is meaningless unless I have a place or desire to apply it.

1. I want my own restaurant where I can develop the business and manage the growth.

2. I want a successful career path even if it means I have to leave Culinary and go back to IT! I will always work in Culinary at least part time.

I have 2 great business plans and started on a third one last week. Hmm….. oh well….

Allan, Terry, or Gary never answered my posting from yesterday… what happen guys? Did you get bored waiting for me to make an update on this thing?

Anyway, as you might notice I added a Webcam link. It does not fully update as of yet, but I am working on it. We’ll see, huh? I just found this new software and it’s cheap and easy, just as I like them.

I graduated from school last week and I have to say that I am feeling a little relieved. Now I am also looking at a bachelor program that starts on 3/29… but I may need to wait until the next round of classes starts. University of Phoenix???? What do yuo think?

Adolfo gave me a ring this week! It is absolutely lovely and exactly like the one I linked before. My diamond is a lottel smaller than what this pic shows…. I am so thrilled with it.

I am really between a rock and a hard place right now, too. I have been wanting to get out of Vegas. I really do not like it here, but we have been establishing a lot of roots in town and the idea of moving on is getting harder. I want to find new work in Information technology while working in cooking part time until I can open a restaurant.

I guess the problem is that I am not working in any one direction and feel pretty scattered. My goals are looking kinda vague right now, too. None of that is any good.

I want to open my own restaurant. With that, start building a little empire of my own.

I want to continue my degree and jump from Culinary Management to Information Technology. If I have to work for someone else then I want to make some decent money.

So, I keep looking for signs of a new direction and am hearing nothing. Gary??? Where are my insights (my spiritual guides)??? Al? Where is my wisdom? Terry??? What should I do?

The problem with acting is that my actions effect Adolfo and Tom and since we are making money right now, feeling reasonably successful, I remain unsatisfied. I am getting to the point where I am so split that my action is becoming in-action.

No… I am still alive.

so, I have been busy …. so much so that I have had no time for myself AT ALL! School is coming to a conclusion this quarter and graduation is this Wednesday. My mom, step daddy, step-auntie, Adolfo, Sai, and I will be at a private dinner celebrating the graduation.

I expect that I will have new pictures soon! Aren’t you excited?

Now the people who visit will have something new to read… little does anyone know that I plan on making more updates soon! It’s true!

I just finished a big project for school and I need to get to bed. My last class is tomorrow morning!

Talk soon!

Scott

Think I fell off the earth again??? Well, I am over committed and miserable right now again. I am working full time at the Venetian… part time at Bullshrimp in Green Valley… not to mention school; which I am graduating from next month. I have a pulled muscle in my back, 5 abbrasions on my feet from some new shoes, and a headache that will not go away. I am lacking sleep and sanity.

Our lease is up in April and we will not have a place to live. Will we stay in Las Vegas? Will we finally move to Seattle? Will it be Boston? Anchorage? Portland? Where oh where oh where….?

Yes, Allan, I write this thinking of theee…. ha ha ha!

Adolfo and I have been fighting a lot lately and largely I feel he has been more an antagonist and I have been a little sensative. I read my horoscope on www.astrologyzone.com and my compatability with him and was highly discouraged. I like that site because it provides some interesting views from an astrological POV.

I am a Capricorn and he is a Aquarian… aparently they do not match. I keep dating these water signs. Is this a sign I keep choosing the wrong guys? Or, they are choosing me. I dunno!

I have been thinking A LOT about my future and my future with Adolfo. When I look into the future I see myself alone… and I think I am not very suitable for a healthy relationship. I think of my time with Brian (fromerly BostonBrian is NOW ChicagoBrian). Brian was a cancer, by the way, since we were discussing star-signs.

Anyway, I have to start getting ready for work. I have to be over there at 1… seeya!
