jim Two for the Price of One Feb 28th, 2008 4:58:58 pm - Subscribe

Two for the Price of One

Yesterday was a good day. As stated earlier I had Big-O-Tires fix some stuff on my truck. Well it seemed that the sales representative told me they had the wrong tires in stock. Lucky for me those were better tires and they gave me the tires they had in stock for the price of the tires I wanted to get on. It ended up being like I got two tires for the price of one. And let me tell you the upgraded tires were very nice!

Well last night we went to Homedepot to get a price quote on cabinets, and wow I was amazed. Not amazed by prices, quality or staff. I was simply amazed that I knew more than the guy designing our cabinets did. He could barely add and multiply. Not to mention he guessed on almost everything. So we are sticking with Darby's Cabinets here in Denver. He is a local business man who does custom cabinets. His motto is (and this is on a free screwdriver he gives out), "We screw the other guys and pass the savings to you."

The nice thing was I went to HomeDepot to check it out cause he challenged me to. Home depot wanted $4,000 with 10% off for our cabinets, for crap quality at that in the wrong colors. That did not even include the bar we want to put there. At Darby's he quoted us $2,600 for more linear feet, at least 6 more linear feet. Nearly 50% off, and they will be better quality and exactly what we want as it is custom made.

Needless to say I am disappointed and pleased at the same time. I am excited that I know we are going to get an awesome deal on cabinets, but very disappointed that HomeDepot charges that much overhead and I feel bad for anyone who gets screwed into buying cabinets from HomeDepot. On top of that HomeDepot tried to force warranties, installation, removal, and for us to "buy a measure". Where as Darby Cabinets never even tried to force anything on to us and explained everything in great detail, while showing he knew what he was doing and was not trained for 1 hour and called a "designer".

Enough of that rambling, I will make a blog dedicated to Darby's Cabinets after we make the purchase on my main blog. Hope everyone else is having a good day.

Thanks for Reading,
Jim

jim Better Days Feb 27th, 2008 4:32:56 pm - Subscribe

Better Days

Well the days are starting to look better. Yestarday I was really tired when I got home and after getting back from a friends house I had a nice dinner made by Lyndsey and we sat and talked at the table. Then I went upstairs and played my game for roughly an hour, but was not able to motivate myself to code. So instead I went in and watched TV with Lyndsey, and after watching to loser fest (the biggest loser) and those jokes called guys crying over voting off that one joker just went to bed at around 9pm. The weird thing was I was still tired this morning but motivated myself enough to drop my truck off at Big-O-Tires (its about a half mile from work and I had to walk to work from there). The walk felt good, other than it was rushed cause I was late for work.

Anyhow it feels good to get my truck in the shop and that off my mind and chest. My tires were showing steel and I needed an alignment/oil change. I always liked Big-O-Tires cause of their warranty and free flat repairs etc. They have never treated me wrong or bad.

Hopefully today keeps looking up and the past will be put behind me. The future keeps getting brighter each day.

Getting Back on Track

I have been so far off the track the past 6 months to a year it is ridiculous. I am sick and tired of always putting stuff off and leaving 90% of what I do un-finished. Well the time for fixing that is now. It is time for me to get back on track with what I need to do.

I am unsure when I will be able to get caught up enough to work on Aeonity but hopefully it is in the next month or so. Right now I have many priorities to take care of, such as a website for my dad, a friend and another friend. All the while fixing some computer issues for another friend and getting our kitchen budgeted out and picking out cabinets/tile/sinks/counters etc to be ready for the end of March when my dad is suppose to be coming out and helping us out with that.

The next month I am going to busy with multiple projects that I hope to do an awesome job with and get my reputation built back up and credible. All the while making sure I have time to support my wife in anyway I can. Needless to say I am actually very happy and I cannot wait to get started. (Tonight I have to go fix one friend's computer problems and hopefully have time to design a few websites).

We will see how everything un-folds the next few weeks. I am very eager right now to take the next few steps into this new part of my life. I want to be truly happy again and I want everyone around me to be happy. It is time to start taking responsibilities for my own actions and following through with my decisions.

I feel free for the first time in a long time. My sky is the limit!

Thanks for Reading,
--Jim

jim The Perfect Song for me Right Now Feb 25th, 2008 8:21:34 pm - Subscribe

Well with everything that has been going on lately this is a perfect song for me right now. I was actually getting lunch and this song came on that made me think how it can apply to my situation right now. I am still acting very childish and I just need to really grow up and take life as it comes in a positive look.

I know this song is about cheating etc, and for the record that is not what I am getting out of the song. Basically I am getting out that I know I have screwed up in the past, and with the help of one person they can get me back on track for our master plan.

Anyhow here is the song by Blink 182 titled Dammit:

It's alright
To tell me
What you think
About me
I won't try
To argue
Or hold it
Against you
I know that
You're leaving
You must have
Your reasons
The season
Is calling
And your pictures
Are falling down

And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
Sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well I guess this is growing up
Well I guess this is growing up

The steps that
I retrace
A sad look
On your face
The timing
And structure
Did you hear
He f**ked her?
A day late
A buck short
I'm writing
The report
I'm losing
And failing
When I move
I'm flailing now

And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
Sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well I guess this is growing up
Well I guess this is growing up

And maybe
I'll see you
At a movie
Sneak preview
You'll show up
And walk by
On the arm
Of that guy
And I'll smile
And you'll wave
We'll pretend
It's okay
The charade
It won't last
When he's gone
I won't come back

And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
Sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well I guess this is growing up
Well I guess this is growing up

And it'll happen once again
You'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
And sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone
And you've been here for too long
To face this on your own
Well I guess this is growing up
Well, I guess this is growing up
Well, I guess this is growing up

Thanks for Reading,
--Jim

An Update for the Wise

Well I finally feel like updating my blog. It has been a few months and since Petey has died and Lyndsey got a new rabbit named Milly. I am still the same old, nothing real new going on. Everything is sort of at a stand still on the house etc.

Really not much else to say I am still kicking and Lynds and I are doing great. Will update when something exciting happens.
