I can feel my Vegas spirit slipping away.
10/10/2005 8:44:41 AM I've only been here three weeks, and it feels like I've been gone from Vegas for years.
I'm getting caught up in the day-to-day living. I may never know the answer to the what-if's I had.
What If: I'd finished this website instead of moving here?
Keep in mind, I wrote this program in a weekend---> http://www.lvshots.com/games/
What If: I'd gotten Rainbird to buy my A/C energy saver?
Would I have gotten rich?
As it stands now, I may never know.
6:00am - I get up and work on LVDUDE.COM for maybe an hour.
7:30am - I take a shower at 7:30am.
8:30am - I'm at work.
6:00pm - I get home from work
6:30pm - I have to feed Becky and myself.
10pm - I'm in bed.
I'd estimated completing LVDUDE in about a month, working 10 hours a day on it.
As it stands, it'll take 10 months because I'm only working on it 1 hour a day.
My budget is tight, because I'm not making much money. It will be December before I break even from just moving.
In other words, I'm becoming just like everybody else. I'm losing my dreams of a better future.
I'm not controlling life. Life is controlling me. It's trying to drag me into its little pits of hell.
It's my belief, that when a man's dreams die, he loses his soul.
He becomes a robotic zombie, doing the same routine every day of his life, until his life is expunged.
Soon, I'll be balancing pennies in my checkbook, thinking I can't afford to take vacation time.
I'll be thinking I need this job and fearing these people are going to fire me.
I'll lose my feelings of self worth.
If I cared about this job, my esteem would have already been crushed.
I've got to keep site of this one thought: "I am somebody. I can change the world.".

The plumbing was all backed up in the kitchen
10/10/2004 12:41:27 PM Its been painfully slow since I've lived here. So, I rented a professional snake from Home Depot ($40 for 24 hours), and did the work my self. It took HOURS to snake from the back all the way to the sewage access in the front (approximately 75'). And the drains still were slow. So, I dismantle the kitchen drains: Garbage Disposer and everything and snaked it from there. The scale was built up so far only my little finger could go through it. I eventually broke through the mess with a chisel and got the snake in, BUT, and this is a very big BUT, the pipes in the wall dissentigrated. So, all of the sudden, the minor problem became major. I had to cut through the wall to repair the pipe. By 11pm, I rebuilt all of the plumbing better than before, this time, everything surpassed code (5 degree slope on all of the drainage). Everything was cool.
