Peoii’s Place

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

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

\r\n\r\nOverall? 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”) :P\r\n\r\nAnd 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.\r\n\r\nThe 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.\r\n\r\nOn 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.\r\n\r\nAnyway, 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.

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.

Just a quick note saying yes, I’m alive, yes, I made it home, and yes, I’m going to be posting here soon. Just had a lot of things come up suddenly when I got home, and need to get them all sorted out.

Other than that, I’ve switched to my holiday theme, and invite you all to check back soon. I’ll be posting another post here shortly… hopefully tonight after work.

More later.

… but wow is this month going to be crazy for me. Sunday I head out for Redmond, WA for a couple weeks for training with Cingular. Unfortunately I don’t have a laptop that is in working enough order to make the trip, so I’ll be effectively offline during that entire time, making it rather hard to get a hold of me. On the other side, it’ll be a great chance for anyone who’s interested to see me while I’m over there! Here are the details of the trip:

I’m planning on driving over Sunday the 6th, so that I can be ready for the first day of training which is the 7th. Training goes as follows: 10am-7pm on the two Mondays, and 8:30am-5:30pm Tuesdays thru Fridays, with Saturdays and Sundays off. I’ll be driving back here to Post Falls on Saturday the 19th. So far the only plans I have is during the weekend, I’m going to be heading over to the Bremerton/Silverdale area to visit family. Other than that? My schedule is open folks (aside from the training of course), so if you’d like to get together, by all means, please contact me.

Once I know what hotel I’m going to be in (I’m hoping to get those details today) I’ll have a better idea of where abouts I’m going to be, and what I’m going to be close to. Not only that, but I can get the phone number all prepped for those wishing to contact me once I’m in town.

But yea, given the trip for training, and then the start of the holiday season, this is going to be a VERY busy month for me. Lets just hope nothing catastrophic happens during it… So to all you old people I know, no dieing, you hear me???

Well, anyway, off I head to work! More later.

Happy Halloween, or Samhain! (whichever you observe) Todays the day when we get to express our inner selves in the form of a costume, and allow others to try to figure it out. Okay, so maybe to a great many people, it’s just running around, gathering candy, and attempting to scare the hell out of people… But hey, to each their own right?

At any rate, it’s shaping to be a very wet holiday here in Idaho, so what am I doing? Right now, I’m sitting here writing out this post while drinking some tea, and talking a friend thru some serious issues in her life. It’s raining slowly outside, and I absolutely love that sound… it’s something I miss a lot from the Seattle area in which I grew up. Sure, it’s going to suck for the trick or treaters that come knocking on the doors later on this evening, but right now? I couldn’t imagine a better day to have off and just enjoy around the house.

Well then, the question comes up! How is everyone spending their Halloween? Going to a party? Going out trick or treating? Speak up, leave a comment, and share what you’ll be doing today.

You know, there are tons of popular blogging sites out there where anyone and everyone can easily setup their own blog. My problem with a lot of those? They’re really limiting as far as what you can do with your blog… it’s literally a journal and that’s about it. Until now!

As reported by Photomatt over here:

Want to know a secret? If you have Flock you can get on Wordpress.com without an invite. Enjoy!

What is “Flock” you ask? As it’d turn out, Flock is a fork of the amazingly popular web browser Firefox, with some rather interesting additions to the codebase. One key feature specifically that’s drawing a lot of attention is it’s built-in blog editor. That’s right, you can post to your blog right from within your browser, using an advanced editor from any webpage, anywhere. Pretty damn slick of you ask me!

And what’s this Wordpress.com [link] business? Well, it’s the free hosting blog provider that is powered by none other than Wordpress. This means you have access to the same powerful blogging tool that’s powering this website, for FREE, and already hosted and setup for you! Now that’s bloody awesome. Unfortunately it’s invite only… well, unless you download Flock.

So go ahead, download Flock, and give it a shot, you might just like what you find.

I thought this was kinda a neat thing, perhaps you might agree.

Either way, click on the graphic to get your very own monster avatar. Heck, post a comment with the link to yours, I’d love to see some of the variations.
