Got Back from San Fransisco last night at 10pm. 25 hours of nonstop driving. This has been a killer of a week, and I love it. What's bizarre is I just watched a movie called Insomnia with Al Pacino and Robin Williams. Pacino's in Alaska during it's 6 month day cycle. He's getting delusional after days of sleep deprivision. That would be me right now. Phone just rang. Gonna exchange favors with someone. I've had 16 hours of sleep Since Sunday.

Picked Skip up in San Fransisco. Lots of driving. Watch DVD movies on my laptop on the way (man, did that make the 12 hour trip FLY). The trip was beautiful! Seeing Skip after 30 years was quite a shock too. We loaded up the truck with all of his stuff and it reminded me of the Beverly Hillbillies somehow. I know it may be illegal, but having that laptop, with it's map software, and it's DVD player is the only way I'm going to travel from now on. Movies keep you alert.

I was thinking about my resume.
 I did everything I said I did on it.
When I was 12, I fixed a broken clock and put it back together again.
If I had to do it again, it would take time to figure it out.
If that was all I did for a living, I could do it quickly.
I've done 1,000's of things since then, much more diverse, much more complicated.
WHAT DO EMPLOYERS WANT?
Someone who can do anything, or someone who does 1 thing only.

Up at 5am. Pulled up SQL 2000. My goal is to import a database from Access. Create a veiw, a stored procedure and a Data Transformation Script.

Well now...it's been a very interesting day at the Cutlar abode. The world is turning! I've got some books for brushing up: "SQL 2000 for Dummies", "C++ for Dummies" and "Acting Intelligent for Dummies". That should be all I need to read to succeed. Memory jogging can fun!

Took Becky to the Culinary Union this morning to sign up. In the meantime, submitted a resume to Mariposa, and to a company in Denver. Tommorrow morning, it's interview time...yahoooo!!!

Expected to have company today, but got nothing but virtual guests. BBQ'd up some of the finest beef ribs, and the most scrumptious marinated steak I've ever eaten. Watched Spy Kids 3D(**), Insomnia(***) and Stargate(*****) just to blow off some time. Another week has ended with the resounding thud of unemployed butts hitting the couch. This next week will be about producing income.

  Ya know, these people from South Dakota just want to go to Wallmart and we went to Walmart. But we also went to a Chinese Buffet in front of it. They had whole shrimp! I've never seen that before. Great food, good prices, great company...my kind of night.

this is you as a Bouncing Baby Boy!!! Click here
And here's some more pics I thought you might like. Click here

Yeah, I visited y'al in 1974, I remember being quite elated about upcoming kindergarten but sad hearing the rumors that Ford may actually become PResident. You were damn close though only off by ten years.. I guess ten becomes like one after enough recalibration and experience.

Probably 30 years since I last saw you!!! KEWL

Renee, Dustin, Jennifer, Robert, Joy and Chuck came by yesterday. They say things are so much better since Becky's Brother and Mom kicked her out. I'm still pondering on exactly how that could be. Becky is the kindest, most giving person I know. And they yelled at her, stole from her, or crapped on her...and they used me. Jerry Newberry's advice to GTFO was absolutely best thing to do.

I guess my evil ways (eating spicy foods and drinking Pina Colada's) always catches up to me. Good ol' acid reflux has once again wrecked my sleep. Thankfully, Zantac is available with out a prescription.

Had a 3-way chat with my friend Allen (my buddy for 30 years) and my brother. So cool!

So, I guess nobody else is moving in here for awhile. My step-brother isn't moving in. I was hoping Chuck Sheppard would be moving in. It's hard to plan anything when the world is spinning at 1,000mph.

Made crockpot stew yesterday...mmm..mmm...mmm. Making Southwestern Jalapenio Bread today...mmm.mmm...MMM.mmm. Yummy. I've gotta get some new clothes cause living with Becky is making me a very FAT and HAPPY guy.

The highlight of today was when my brother told me he was writting a comedy about Aliens who love our CRAP, and their CRAP is healthy for us. It starts when aliens are invited to a restaurant, use the bathroom and they think it's the buffet! HILARIOUS!!! This guy has some great ideas!

Another busy day I guess. Had to fix most of my wooden fence (I hate those things). Installed a 20gig hard drive on my sublaptop. Installed a webcam on my brothers computer. Did more house decor.

Up at 5:45am, futzing with this website. Never do today what you can put off until tommorrow.

Busy day. Shampoo'd 1000 square feet of carpet here, hosed down the guest bathroom, hung pictures, installed IIS 5.0 on my XP Home Edition laptop (not supposed to be able too) and installed Active-Perl. I just love to play. It's been quiet here. No phone ringing, no knocks at the door. Becky and I did swing by to see Sharon Sheppard last night (which was very interesting).

Set up 2 bedrooms for rent today. Becky vacuumed, helped me rehang some pulled down curtains and throw away ruined linen. For the life of me, I'll never know why people rent rooms, but still I go on doing it. Videoconferenced Sonny today and cooked up a wonderful bouillabaisse!!! Saffron is definitely the most expensive spice on this planet: .06oz @ $16 = $267 an ounce. You would think the Columbian's would be harvesting it!

I hooked my brother up on the net: set him up for dialup/wireless/outlook/hotmail/msn messenger/pogo/games.com/msn zone...you name it. He's lvSonny now. We kicked back and played games...even had a video conference. He's hooked!

Gay marriage...now, is that really an election issue? Marriage laws have penalized some couples and helped others. It is a legal contract between two people. Marriage in some states say couples don't even have to be tax payers..go figure. But all in all, marriage is not a religious thing...remember separation of church and state, it's a political thing. Its how we are classified for taxation and vote mongering.

Its been 57 days since Rob took his life and I still don't know how to think about his death. I see my aging face in the mirror. The past is gone, but its etched itself into the wrinkles of my smile. And as I float through time's boundless regions, I still ask the question: "Why all this? Was anything that has happened in my life really necessary? And if so, for what possible purpose?"  Rob got his answer with one shot I suppose, but I'm gonna hang out for the end of this incredible ride. And maybe, on somebody else's face, I'll be etched into a wrinkle of their smile. I guess that's as good as any purpose in this incredibly short life.

Just a note about the Nevada State Contractors Board ---> doh! They said my roof contractor was a BAD MAN, guilty of all kinds of things...and if he paid $200 for the $100,000+ worth of bad roofs he did, he could have his license back. Can you believe that? The hearing had several parties all screwed by him. Oh, and that wonderful $40,000 Bond they put up to get their license...forget about it! Its a junk insurance bond, nobody gets it.

Tuesday, February 24, 2004 at 07:39:11 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Tuesday morning. Phones don't work here and it's the wiring somehow? Today is a good day to wire. I'm a witness at a hearing today. It's taken the Nevada State Contractors Board 6 years to have a hearing on the roofer who put shingles on my flat roof. So, Buyer Beware. Who cares if your contractor has a license or not? It didn't help me with my 3 ceilings and 2 walls semi destroyed by leaks. Roof technology is at least 3,000 years old. I would have been better off tieing palm leaves to my roof.

Back from LA. I gave Mike a nice send off. We ate at the Gladstone restaurant near Marina Del Ray (I think). The food was excellent. Mike moves out and Becky moves in. Next week, my Step-brother is coming. I'm so very tired. It's going to be a busy day tommorrow, and here I am after driving 12 hours. I've got to move the furniture I moved into Becky's house, back into this one, then straighten up for my brother-in-law coming, and get Becky squared away for work.

Well, Becky's living with me now. Becky's family is not as loyal as most I guess. We'll pick up the rest of her stuff later. It seems so cold, that her own Mom, out of pure self-interest, would get her brother to team up with her to kick her out. Becky kicked in over $1,200 a month to that household. Her Mom's not going to kick in a single penny. After her Mom heard Becky's son's girlfriend was pregnant, she used the excuse to kick Becky out because Becky "Didn't walk her kids to school". The school is 2 blocks away. Non of any of this makes 10 IQ points worth of sense to me. Unless her mom simply wanted to move back closer to her job. I think I've had smarter house plants!

Wednesday, February 18, 2004 at 11:05:06 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Thanks for the EMail Mike. I guess I'll be losing you as a roomie this weekend. I'll be hanging out at the house for the rest of the week.

He's been shacking up here for a couple of years, now. I'm gonna miss the ol'boy. On the other hand, I'm gonna put my TV BACK in the bathroom when he moves out!!! Gotta restore some sanity to this place! lol.

Thursday, February 12, 2004 at 01:18:30 (PST) <Jim Cutlar>
Uh Oh. I told Becky I'd call her around 11pm. Since then, I've had visitors, and I've talked to Mike about him leaving in 2 weeks or so and about his rent. Dang, it's late now! I hope Becky's not mad at me for not playing online pool with her. :(. Jeese..the way things work sometimes is so unpredictable.

Talked to Jerry Newberry this morning. He broke his leg on an ATV..OUCH. Those things are so picky...guess you never put you're leg down while making a turn. It's instinct but the wheel sucks you right down under it. He's laid up for awhile.

GMorning. Its a crisp 51 degrees outside here in Las Vegas. I went by and visited Sonny last night. Talked to Allen and some girl he was hitting on in a chat room. Talked to Jimmy Leavelle.

It's been over a month since Rob Allred shot himself. He was my best friend up to the end. I hope I never get over those memories we shared. Rob, my Mom, and my stepdad's legacy's to me were the memories we shared. And as long as I'm alive, I'll tell people about them: their good thoughts, their good deeds, their good hearts. I hope more like them will come to exist. THANKS YOU GUYS!

Ya know, I always hoped computers would come up with one language to control them, maybe ENGLISH. I studied Cobol, Basic, and now I'm learning C, Javascript and Perl. It takes intimate knowledge of 5 languages to write ONE APPLICATION these days. While computers have pretty much the same instruction set as they did 20 years ago, people have come up with different instruction sets to be compiled into the same computer instructions and it's a frigg'n mess.
It's like, current programming technology was created by a one figured typist that was INSANE! ROTFL!!!

Ever notice that people always go all out for what want, but once they have it, it becomes ordinary. All girls give the best head in the beginning. After that, they sit on the couch, watch TV and scatter popcorn everywhere, then they blame the mess on you. LOL.

Another idea...ever try to find a laptop station for you car or truck...$300 to $500. Well, that's insane. All you need is a swivel, like a music stand, that pulls up or inserts with a docking station on it.
