Life as Acey

Over the Flu, on to twitter

2008-03-12T15:15:00.000-07:00

I am finally feeling what I would call all better, thank goodness. I have started messing around with the popular site, "Twitter" now. I am just learning how to use it, but it is really awesome so far. If you already have a twitter account be sure to follow us, I put on a link on the hompage of aceystechtalk.com

I think it's the start of a beautiful relation... or twittering? Is that even a word?

Flu

2008-03-05T09:28:00.000-08:00

I have to say, being sick with the Flu is no good at all. My wife had it, she gave it to me, now we both feel bad. I'm thankful to have the next two days off to recover, Then back to 12 hour shifts! yay!

Relaxing

2008-02-13T15:29:00.000-08:00

Ever had a day at work, then came home, and just relaxed... I mean, REALLY, just chilled on the couch, with your laptop (If you're a geek like me) and took long deep breaths?

Feels good doesn't it?

On another note, I feel I neglect this blog, and I vow to start 'attacking' it once again, so we'll see what happens.

Welcome to Peril Project

2008-02-02T10:32:00.000-08:00

Seems it's been awhile since I've been on, sorry about that. I am very excited however, to announce that my band, Nikita Jones, has started working on a second album, titled (For now anyway) as "Welcome to Peril". The very first song is done, and has been posted in downloads at NikitaJones.com You can get the free MP3 if you want. The demo version has been posted.

The new album will boast many new songs, as well as some older ones that haven't been recorded yet. Please check out the new song and let me know what you think. :)

Thanks!

Working Night Shift

2008-01-26T12:14:00.000-08:00

Well, I haven't worked night shift in awhile, but I have to tonight. From 5pm to 5am. We have one employee out with surgery, so I am filling in. Shouldn't be too much of a big deal, in fact, I am looking forward to it in some ways.

In other news, my character on World of Warcraft actually leveled up! yay! I level so slowly on that game, because I don't have a chance to play as much as I would like. Now if I could only get my wife to start playing again, I would be set.

Christmas in Janurary

2008-01-17T18:34:00.000-08:00

Well, me and my wife made a 10 hour drive today to Kentucky, to have a very late Christmas with our family, lol. Since they didn't get to visit us in December, we came out as soon as me could get time off, which happened to be now.

My present from my wife's family ended up being my guitar! It was one that my dog Chance had broken before, and my father in law had it restored for me. I can't tell you how happy that made me. Because there are no words, and also because I am too tired, lol.

Have great weekend everyone!

Cops on Saturday

2008-01-12T17:16:00.000-08:00

Nothing like kicking back on a saturday night, after working all day, and watching cops on fox, lol. When will people actually learn, you can't run from the police? They do have that new thing, called the taser, that hurts really bad. Tsk, tsk.

Me and Annah are going back to KY this week for a very late Christmas, since our families didn't get to come down here. The trip is going to be LONG, but it should be fun :)

'Mac'ing it up

2008-01-09T19:33:00.000-08:00

Still loving the MacBook, in fact, I am now an apple fanatic I think. From the iPhone o the MacBook, I love it all!

Also, I actually started posting regularly to youtube, check my account out at youtube.com/acey612 for some fun videos on tech talk and such.

Me and Annah are going to KY next week for a few days to have a late Christmas with our families, since they didn't get to come down in December. Should be lots of fun :)

MacBook

2008-01-04T08:10:00.000-08:00

Well, last night I got my MacBook! And so far, it is everything I wanted it to be, lightning fast. This thing boots COMPLETELY up in less than 30 seconds. Of course, like anytime you get a new computer, it's a pain to switch over files and such. I did get most of my music moved over though, but I can't find a way for iTunes to keep my play counts and star ratings.

I hadn't owned a laptop in a long time, and I forgot how nice they were to have, even just around the house.

I will probably most more on the topic later on, but for now, lunch!

Mac book

2007-12-30T17:22:00.001-08:00

Well, I have been saving for a mac book, and tomorrow I should have
enough to actually purchase one. I am very excited to try it, since I
have never had a mac. I should be getting a white one. :) I will let
you know how it is!

Legend

2007-12-23T19:35:00.001-08:00

Alright, today me and Annah went to see "I am Legend" I must say,
awesome movie! It had been a long time since I had had an experience
like that at a cinema. It was very suspenseful, and Will Smith did an
outstanding job in it. It may have been his best movie.

Merry Christmas eve eve!

Wrapping Christmas Bombs

2007-12-22T10:34:00.000-08:00

Well, I wrapped Annah's Christmas presents today. Of course, my present look more like pretty bombs, since I sucks at wrapping. A little tape here, a wad of wrapping paper there, I have no technique whatsoever.

As you can see, many of my posts are made from my iPhone, and few from my computer. I have tried blogs sites like Xanga and MySpace (I hate MySpace). I still use xanga for more personal natured posts (Not what you think, get your mind out of the gutter!) But I have found the blogger.com system to be very refreshing, and very easy to post from mobile interfaces. That was a big key for me, since I like to post from a mobile device most of the time.

I have today and tomorrow off, and have been enjoying it very much. I am excited, and I really believe Annah will in fact have a great Christmas. I look forward... Can't believe it's already Tuesday.

Extra day, lot more pay

2007-12-21T13:36:00.001-08:00

I am working an extra day today. Since agreeing to it, I had since
regretted it, but then again, it is a lot more money too. Money is good.

And today wasn't that bad anyway. Been pretty relaxed and laid back. I
have the weekend off, so I get to play video games, like the kid
inside desires. :)

Christmas is just around the corner, and I still have one more thing
to pick up for Annah. ;)

Winter

2007-12-18T04:57:00.000-08:00

For those who do not know, I live in the coastal carolinas. I have
been here for about 2 years. Before that I lived in Kentucky, and was
used to about one or two big snows a year. Since being here on the
coast, sure it gets cold in winter, but we don't have snow.

This morning, we were about to take Lulu, one of our cats, to the
vet, and we actually did have a nice, white frost. Sure, its not snow,
but I can pretend, right?

So now we are on the way to the vet, Lulu won't stop howling, which
is why we are getting her fixed anyway, and then we are bound for the
mall. Nothing like last minute Christmas shopping, right?

the sickness

2007-12-15T17:50:00.001-08:00

well, I hadn't been sick in over 2 years. So much for that now! I
caught it from some guys at work, and when I woke up yesterday, I felt
horrible! Annah bought me some Thera flu, and it was the best night of
sleep I had gotten while I was sick, for sure.

So today I woke up feeling so refreshed, I almost thought I was all
better, and I felt like that all day, right up until when I got off
work, and then I lost my voice. Let's hope tomorrow I wake up with it
back.

Christmas Music

2007-12-13T18:06:00.000-08:00

I love Christmas music. We bought the new Barenakedladies holiday
album this year, and its awesome. But. What makes the holiday music so
special?

I think its because of the timing. We only listen to it at that
certain time of year, so we can't really tire of it, we don't have
time to.

There are also so many variations of each song, from rock to jazz
and even opera, LOL. This adds to why they always seem new, and magical.

And its not like we have other holidays that have music, Easter?
Nope. Flag day, nope. Halloween? Besides the "monster mash", nope, LOL.

I say keep the Christmas music going strong, let's enjoy it while
we can.

Why do cats find Christmas trees so attractive? If you were a cat,
would you tear them up? I know ours does!

Lulu won't stay away from the tree! The other night she had removed
all the ordaments and lined them up in the floor.

I actually have tomorrow off!

Coffee

2007-12-11T07:39:00.001-08:00

Well. I think I may actually be getting a taste for coffee. Sure, I
have always enjoyed mochas, lattes, and stuff, but never really just
black coffee. I start trying of more because one of y co workers loves
it, and I think I am learning to appreciate it. In fact, I am writing
this from what has now become my favorite coffee house.

I didnt even know the difference between dark and light roasts until
today. Apparently, dark roasts mean that there is more flavor, but it
burns more of the caffiene off. I decided I like light roasts best. A
more subtle flavor, and more pick me up ;)

No Santa No!

2007-12-08T11:43:00.000-08:00

Me and Annah went to Walmart yesterday and bought our tree :) I look forward to putting it up with her...

I also saw something...interesting while at wal mart... Remember as a kid, seeing all the movies, and hearing all the stories about Santa, and his REINDEER? You know, the flying ones? Well Walmart, I have a question...

WTF?
