Peoii’s Place

Yes, I’ve updated my website finally. No, I’m not going to post anything insanely long right now explaining where I’ve been or what I’ve been up to, however I will say this, this website WILL be undergoing some changes here in the very near future.

I’ve got an idea, and I’m running with it… So expect to see some pages disappear, some other pages show up, and the entire concept of a simple “blog” to be completely changed around here. I can no longer afford to have one website holding everything, it’s to much of a mess, and I’m cleaning up my life.

I’ll see you all again very very soon, and I look forward to seeing who is still out there.

P.S. To those jackasses who thought it was cute or funny to post imbeds in my posts? Yea… I actually DO monitor this website, and they’ve never remained around for more than 48 hours max. I hope you die in a pool of liquid fire.

Lets see, what’s gone on since we last spoke…

1. I’ve moved into my own house
2. I’ve attended my sisters wedding
3. I’m working quite a bit, but enjoying my time off
4. I’ve had a chance to unwinde a little bit

Overall? The house was the biggest thing, closely followed by my sisters wedding. So lets cover those two items really quick, as well, I’m rather happy about both. First things first, I now have purchased and moved into my very own house! GOD am I glad to have that nightmare process over with. Just when you think everything is going right, something comes up and throws an iron bar in the spokes. But now that it’s done and over with, I’m glad to say that I went thru it. I learned a lot, discovered the annoyances, and feel much better prepared should I have to go thru that process again in the future. The house? Sure, it has its own little quirks, but I love every single piece of it. I’m going to take some pictures of it soon, once it’s not packed to the gills with boxes, and show off what I now call home. But I tell ya, the ability to open the door at night, with the heat on, and say “Yes, I CAN do this, because it’s my place”, is a wonderful wonderful feeling. (Then immediately followed by the “oh SHIT, close the door quickly, I’m paying for this crap”)

And then there was the wedding. I don’t really know how to put into words how proud of and happy for my sister I am. She’s found herself someone that not only makes her happy and cares for her a great deal, but just has his head on straight, and is willing to share is entire life with my sister. Jacob, to you, I say enjoy it! You’ve got yourself a great woman that will show you more love than you can know as long as you treat her right. Kelly? Well, you know I’m proud of you. Of all people in this world, you deserve to be this happy more than most.

The wedding was absolutely beautiful, and I snapped a ton of pictures which I’ll be posting on a new website I’m developing for them. From the location, to the weather (which actually didn’t rain!), to the attire, to the entire package, it was a sight to behold. I can’t wait to share those pictures, and I’ll try to post some sometime this week. But it was an event I wouldn’t have missed for the world.

On to my current thoughts. Right now, I just need to get myself a host where I have the space to grow with this. So I’ll most likely be moving the hosting provider of peoii.com here within the month. As a result of that, there may be a time period where I’m unavailable via my peoii.com email addresses. If you need an alternative email address to contact me at, just send me an email and I’ll let you know my prefered alternative.

Anyway, I’ve rambled enough. More later.

You know, it seems like such a simple thing buying something… but then you buy something like a house, and you’ll never think the same way again. Yea, I know it’s a big purchase, and yea, I know I’m a first time buyer. But I expect certain things to simply happen without when they say they’re going to. Allow me to explain:

About a month ago, I signed paperwork to purchase a house. It was time, and I needed to do this for myself. “WOOHOO!” I was thinking, hey, I’m gonna have my own place under my own rules, and on my own time. That’s a major accomplishment knowing that I could actually do this. Then came the loan thing, and yea, I needed a co-signer, but you know what? So do 90%+ of the people who purchase their first house. So yes, I needed one, and my grandmother volunteered to do so almost immediately (even while I was asking others). We got the paperwork they said they needed in, and then a period of silence came about.

Now see, it’s this silence period that is the fuel for my anger… There were, I kid you not, 2 weeks where I had almost 0 contact from my realtor or my loan officer. That would have been absolutely fine, except for the events of the last week. Then all of the sudden, like a wildfire finally getting fuel, they asked for a TON of paperwork, most of which they knew would take some time to aquire. So here I am, on Friday, the day I was supposed to sign and take posession of the house, and I’m at the same house I’ve been at for a couple years now with nothing accomplished. I changed my work schedule to sign today because I didn’t get to pick the signing time, and no one could even have the courtesy to tell me that it was cancelled.

So I come to find out, that not only is it delayed because of that additional paperwork (which I got in the day it was requested by some miracle), but the owner of the house isn’t even OUT YET! What the hell is going on? People sign into agreements then don’t follow thru on their end of it? This is, for lack of a better term, bullshit, and I’m really getting tired of it.

If I’ve suddenly dropped off the face of the planet with my emails, now ya’ll know why… I’ve been dealing with this crap, and right now, I’m probably not the best company in the world. At any rate… does this happen to everyone? Or has anyone else dealt with something like this? Please share, I’d hate to be the only person in the world having to put up with this.

Anyway, before I explode, I’m gonna go log into the World of Warcraft and kill some stuff. Who knows, maybe it’ll relax me.

More later.

Okay, yea, you have GOT to see this one. I’m a firefox fan, and you should be too by now if you’re viewing this website. This was one of the great submissions for a Firefox commercial over at Firefox Flicks, and is most certainly worth your 30 seconds to watch. So go ahead, click away, and laugh your heart out.

Just thought I’d post a quick update as to my disappearance. I’ve bought a house, and am getting ready for the closing/etc of it. What’s the best part about it? I have a house. What’s the worst? All this pre-junk. Packing, sorting, dealing with various amounts of misc crap. And to top it all off, I wasted today, because as I was heading out to work on the garage, I rolled my ankle, and it’s been throbbing all day. Eh, such is life, and I’ll find another time to get this stuff done.

Happy Easter folks! I hope everyone had a great day, and if nothing else, atleast didn’t become a boob and hurt themselves like I did.

I’ll be posting more once the move is complete. Til then.

Here’s my normal day…

• Wake up
• Shave, Shower, You know… the standard morning stuff
• Rush off to work
• Go to work
• Get yelled at for things which I have no power to control, yet the company which I represent says I must abide by
• Get off work
• Come home
• Continue my seemingly endless search for a house
• Get yelled at because I’m not finding it as fast as some other people think I should be
• Play a game to unwinde
• Check my email in hopes that maybe someone will have responded to one of my personal ads out there on the internet
• Find none, yet.
• Go to bed

Where’s the stress relief? Where’s the “there’s a silver lining to every cloud”? I’m just not seeing it. Yea, I know things will get better eventually, but it’s the time between now and then that has me worried. I’m a single self-supportive male, looking for love, a house to purchase, and some peace of mind in my life. Is that to much to ask? I dunno, somedays it seems so amazingly straight forward, otherdays I feel as though it’ll never come to pass.

Anyone know a person in the northern Idaho area who’s selling a house for a reasonable price? Hey, I’m trying to tackle things one at a time, and right now… that’s the single most pressing thing on my mind. I need a house, and the banks won’t loan me the money on the most popular style of lower-income housing up here (IE: Manufactured House). So… on continues my search.

Here’s to hopeing that better days ahead than behind.

It’s been on my site for a while, and I update it everyonce in a while, but hey… time to give that accomplishment it’s due posting.

If you check out this page you’ll notice a rather lengthy list. A list of facts. A list of facts about me. The idea isn’t original, nor is it anything revolutionary. It is however something I found rather uplifting, and revealing to complete.

Question becomes, is there anyone of you readers out there who could do the same? You may never know what you’ll come up with to share about yourself. Heck, I look back on it and didn’t realize I would say some of the things I did. But you know what? That’s what it’s all about when you’re rediscovering yourself, and that’s the whole theme of this website at this time right?

So yea, I challenge you. Come up with 100+ Facts about yourself, and then post a link to them here. I’d love to read thru em and get to know everyone better.

More later.

I had been playing around with the idea of using a different theme for a while here, and I finally found one that I could comfortably base my design off of, and grow from. So here you have it, the 2006 theme for Peoii.com. While I’m still working on perfecting it and modifying it in the way that I think is important, I think it’s suitable to post live to the world.

Now, what else is important about this? Well, I need to do some testing to make sure I didn’t completely break any pages I’ve already had created. That’s going to take some serious work if I have… but hey, I’m pretty sure I didn’t, so here’s to hopeing right?

Well, back to work hacking on this. More later.

… and this time I actually mean it! Tonight, when I get home from work, I’m going to be working on this website and redesigning the look and feel for the new year. I’ve got some ideas that I want to play with, and I’m anxious to actually get them up and running. Moreover, I’m working on a schedule for regular posting that I’m actually going to post and make myself stick to!

What does this mean? Well, more likely than not, it’s not going to mean a lot for the people reading other than you’ll have a glimpse into my life more often. But for me, it means a great deal in redefining myself thru this next year.

So that’s it for this post. However, you can be certain that within the next 24 hours, this website is going to get a major overhaul, and that should intrigue you enough to come back soon.

Wow, so that was the longest “I’ll be posting later” that I’ve ever had. Usually I’m a tad quicker, but honestly a ton of stuff has come up that has prevented me from posting on a regular basis. And then the times that I have available, I’ve been working on various projects, or simply attempting to relax.

So lets see, what’s happened since my last post… Well, there was that whole Christmas season which came and went all to quickly it seemed. I went from December 5th to December 25th in one day it seemed, and I can hardly remember the time inbetween. I guess that’s what “life in the fast lane” is like. Course, I’m still rather shocked that we’re already in February.

January was stressful. That’s about the nicest thing I can say about it aside from the fact that I celebrated my birthday towards the end of the month. Work was the main source of the stress, with the store recording record low sales, and yet still having the foot traffic of previous years. Basically, we were customer service for a great part of January, and in a commision based business, that’s a huge source of stress.

So what does the future lay for me? Honestly? I’m not sure… I like my job, I enjoy the people I work with, and I really do like the customers I’m helping out. But unless something changes, I’m fearful that someone else may choose to change our store in one form or another. I guess only the future will tell, but I can be certain that I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure our store continues to service the area.

Other than all of that… I’m doing quite well I’ve met some new people who I’m very much enjoying talking with, and I’m progressing my life in my own way. Heck, I’m even working on a new idea for the website a bit as far as design to let me rediscover myself in that way too.

I guess this post comes down to one thing… I’m doing as the slogan for this site has said for a year now. I’m rediscovering myself, one post at a time, one day at a time. And what have I discovered so far? Well, that’s another post for another day.

Til then.

(P.S.: Of all the things I know the most right now, I know I need love.)
