12:07 am	Day 1 of skydive training: 3 hours of training and I didn't get to jump the same day of my training because of the weather. The jump: I went jumping during lunch time to make up for the jump I missed out on after training.  The drop site is 20 minutes away from work, so I didn't miss too much work.  My exit out of the aircraft was quick and efficient up until my puny little arms couldn't hold me outside on the strut of the wing of the Cesna in the XXmph wind.  My hands slipped, so I just went flying off the wing. The landing: Oh boy.  I didn't know where the fuck I was going, but I knew I did not want to land on the freeway, the lake, or the power lines.  In fact, the roof of this farm house was looking prime.   I missed that by a mile, but I eventually ended up in the shrubbery a few hundred yards away from the landing strip.  Ah well.  I will hopefully do better next time. Conclusion: Skydiving is the shit.  As in, good shit.  It is funny to have the pilot talk to you about special brownies and be all high.  You know you're in good hands when your pilot is off the wall, but is still able to fly us out to the right spot.  I am going to be so broke after this hobby, but it is so worth it.

8:45 pm	Pancakes Yay!  I am not get my motorcycle license for a while or ever at this rate.  But, I am going to go skydiving in the meantime. Edit: Scott, I lost my phonebook, so you'll have to call and tell me your number clearly.  Although, I did enjoy your rapping.  It almost sounded legit.  The lyrics need improvement though.

10:27 am	Ultimate Frisbee--Thanks Thanks mainly to samfu and quadhome, but there were more of you--I know this to be true--I am now on a league for Ultimate Frisbee. And guess what? I get to be their puller--I throw farthest--and I will be playing in a women’s tournament. Plus, for some reason, my forehand has drastically improved. So, I can throw and catch, but the people on the league are somewhat serious players. We run drills and they have plays. There is no random running around!  And there are rules. Tons of them. O.o   So, yeah, all those times I have played with you guys with the LED Frisbee until way past when darkness fell and even in snow, rain, or sun helped condition me for this league. But, I foul too much.  That's your guys' fault too  :) Until next time. Word. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:18 pm	I (still) DISLIKE GIRLS Girls are flakey. For the 2nd time in my entire life (not exaggerating) I decided to be social with a female coworker outside of work.  And for the 2nd time (this happens rarely, so I can keep count) in my entire life, I was stood up.  And yet again, for the 2nd time in my entire life (still not exaggerating), I watched a movie by myself in a theatre.  Well, OK, there were other people there, but I mean that my "gal pal" didn't show up to watch the movie with me. Lesson of the day: never ever again, go out with girls.  They are the most flakey things ever. And people wonder why I dislike females. The 1st time I got stood up was just this past week when another female coworker decided to watch an earlier showing of a movie, but didn't call to tell me.  This was kind of my fault in a way because I didn't ask for her number.  But, a cell phone number didn't do me any good with this 2nd girl because she didn't pick up her phone when I called.  On both accounts. Message to the guys: wow, I don't know how you put up with the opposite sex.  I don't see the appeal in them besides ... oh, I just answered my own question.  I retract my last statment.

3:15 pm	I'm flying to Boise, Idaho this Thursday to visit Special K and his company.  The flight there couldn't be better.  That's not the case with my flight back to NY.  This is what my travel plan looks like for the trip back to NY: Boise, ID --> Seattle, WA  --> Washington DC --> Albany, NY I start musical airplanes at 11PM on Saturday and end it at 8AM Sunday.  The nice thing is that there is a 2-hour layover at Seatac, so my parents are going to bring me some Vietnamese subs.  Haven't had that stuff in forever.  There better not be any terrorists on my damn airplane to DC, otherwise they'll have to deal with my grumpy ass. Edit: Actually started musical airplanes at 7PM.  So, it was 13 hours of flying and sitting in airports. (Comment on this)

3:51 pm	quadhome and samfu, let's start our own company. We can call it Board, Surf, and Tacos (BST for short). It'll be a company that will sell customized and name brand snowboard accessories and equipment and allow you to surf the net and eat tacos galore. I know a dude who makes this really good salsa (he's thinking about patenting it). It's no salsa I've ever had and it's really scrumptious. Oh yeah, and some where in there, bubble tea, a mechanical riding bull, and a dance floor is involved. And maybe a lounge with the really expensive tropical fish in big tanks and bubbles. And buildmuscle can donate some MS software for our internet cafe and kung_fu_mike can put some treadmills there too, so it'll be a gym too. And, oh yeah, free shuttle to the moon for anyone who pays in green apple Jolly Ranchers. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

2:55 pm	Stoner's Holiday Here is a tribute to 420, which was a tradition started by a few high school kids in Cali back in 1971. 4:20 PM was the time they would meet to light it up after school. And now, it has become a stoner's holiday. OK, actually, I don't have a tribute, soooo, this post will have to do. By the way, did you know that April 20th is also Hitler's birthday? Totally coincidental, IMO, but some conspiratists will believe otherwise. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

8:43 am	Rino Rino, My cell batteries are low, so I can't really call. Plus, my office is really quiet and I prefer to take personal calls anywhere but my desk. I know, cop out excuses. I'll give you a call when I get the chance some time this week, bro. Peace out and thanks for wishing me a happy birthday/St. Patty's day. (Comment on this)

1:22 pm	VB1 Yeah, I know, hahaha, Matrix is programming in VB, but seriously I need some help with my code. I'm supposed to make this Excel spreadsheet that is user friendly to the average Excel using person. So, I made this macro where if you click a button, it generates a worksheet that has a graph and some other data in it. The problem is that the graph needs to be able to show only the data that was entered by the user. This means that the number of rows could range from 1 to whatever. My bloody code defaults to grabbing up to 31 rows. No less and no more. WTF! What am I doing wrong? Please ignore my format, I am not a bloddy programmer, so get the f*** over it. Excel Information: I have a worksheet called "Data" and it has two columns with the first starting at cell "A4" and the second starting at cell "B4". The data is placed in this worksheet by the user starting at A4/B4 and down. Information they would put for example: Column A Column B Row 4 December 05 $1000 Row 5 January 06 $1200 Row 6 February $1200 Row 7 March $1500 Row 8 April $1500 I also have a worksheet called "Template" that, for all intensive purposes, has a graph that uses data form the "Data" worksheet to populate itself. This worksheet is used as a template for the sheets to be made. The line I am concerned with is: LastRow = Sheets("Data").UsedRange.Rows.Count It is supposed to be identifying the last row with data in it, but defaults to row 31 every bloody time.

4:47 pm	Booby... ...Trap. The team which sits across from my team at work have a public gumball machine. They decided to fill this said contraption with nummy-nummy Jelly Bellies rather than the usual suspects. I often visited this team's abode to satiate myself with the sweetness of jelly beans. Unbeknownst to me, they had booby trapped the candy dispenser. One day, I stopped by to snatch the droplets of sugar whilst I waste away into nothingness. During a conversation of the location of conference rooms with one of the team members, I was stunned by the grossness within my mouth. I felt the sudden urge to vomit, but instead my face twisted into a grotesque mask of horror. The team bursted into laughter. "Ugh, I hink homehing is herriby wong wih thi helly bing," I blurted while the vile candy was resting on my tongue happily doing its evil dance. Finally, I was offered a garbage to spit the rotten piece of candy out. "That tasted like vomit and dirt!" I said. Shortly after, I was introduced to culprit box of Harry Potter-Bertie Botts Jelly Beans and found that I had discovered the Earth Worm flavored jelly bean. Lovely joke...a bit too early for April Fools, but prank accepted. Now, I must plan my revenge! I shall use what ever methodologies whether sickly or silly or both. This team is going down. Now...what shall my devious plan be...bwahahahaha!!! (Comment on this)
