Had a game yesterday, and god am I sore today. we did a good job of holding them down, but evey time we got possession, they would get it back. it was unscheduled, and so was rather poorly attended by the team. had to get guys from their team to sub in for our injuries and for our missing teammate.(we were one short of a full side)

Friday morning I came into work and my boss spewed anger at me about a couple of things...one, that I had set up the modem in my computer to get around the company's firewall. I hadn't done that, and in fact he had hooked it up a long time ago...and two, he infromed me that I would no longer have internet access, and that I could no longer e-mail friends from work. this seems to include no being able to e-mail them to let them know not to e-mail me there, as I send out a message to them and they never recieved it, instead I got it back at aobut four in the afternoon saying that ALL the addresses wer undeliverable, but I had been getting mail from them that I could not tell them to stop sending. finally got ahold of Brian, and had him e-mail all our friends to stop e-mailing me there. thne when I went to tell my boss about not being able to e-mail my frineds, he told me some line about them working on the mail server...never heard of a server being worked on where I can't send out, but they can send in...think he might have fucked it up when he pulled my internet...and then he told me no more paters at my desk, and he was going to implement a new policy starting next week about no more radios at desks. he is saying that someone else is complaining about this and he has no control over it. needless to say, I am looking for a new job. thanks Jeff for the help, but that one at GWU doesn't look like something I could do, never mind have the resume for. so anyone else, if you know of anyplace that is looking for a CAD operator, drop me a line. I need out soon!

OK. last night I got into a fight with a friend of mine who thinks that by writing this I am publishing his life as well as mine. this is actually the first and only time I will bring him up. I started this as a way to rant and get things out about the stupidity of the world around me. now I have this as well. how to deal with it...guess I will keep my life as I see fit. let me know what you think. is blogging opening your life up too much? I don't think so, after all I control what I write here, and what I write here is not my life. my life occurs, and I write some of it here, but not all of it. this is the drive by view of my life. you look in and can drive by repetedly, but you don't really know me from here. very few get to know me. so, that is all I will write on this. TTYL.

Just call me a bad boy...ok now that you have done that want to spank me?? ; )...but seriously, missed mentioning my Boy Brett Farve's B-Day yesterday. won't say how old he is...but he has got to be the YUMMYEST QB out there. at least in my opinion, and that is the only one that matters here. love the day old growth on his boyish cheeks, and woudl love to discover if the same is true on his other cheeks : )...anyway, Happy Birthday Brett...in other news, I finally have work to do now! no more web browsing for a while. oh well, but I will still check daily a really cool Blogg...Cabin Pressure...it has all this cool time wasting stuff on there. today was a bitch test, an IQ vs. income test, and other fun stuff. check it out if you are bored at work or home. it is updated daily, and some really neat stuff...well, speaking of wasting time, I am doing that, and they want me to work now, so I guess I should for the time I have left.

> Happy National coming out day. for those of you who haven't figured out yet, I"M GAY!...there did my part. I'm out to almost everyone anyway, and you got to be blind to not figure it out if you don't. I don't hide it at all. it is your fault for assuming that I am str8 because I play Rugby and enjoy sports and fix cars and all that other stuff. I've been doing it for so long, that is part of me. the key here is not to make assumptions about someone till you know for certain they are or aren't. there is one guy on the team who is str8, and I wish he wasn't. doesn't change who he is, and I can respect him for being who he is. that is all I think that we need. respect for the person, acceptance for the way we are. no special legislation or anything like that. we can come much father by letting people who care about us know that we are gay and that by making the remarks and slights they are hurting some one they know and probably care for. it may not change them, but it just might. so, do your part, and let someone know you are gay if you are or straight if you are. hopefully it won't change their view of you, but maybe it will change how they view gays and lesbians or straight people : ) have a good day, and will probably drop another entry in here later today.

to see more on the Saturday rugby meat, go to Jimbo's page through my links and then to his journal. he has links on there to both Navy and Penn State. I don't know how to do that yet, but will find out soon. anyway, today didn't start out much better at work. I talked to my boss a bit ago, and he says that there isn't a problem with me, which I feared, but that we are in a lull now. but I am still looking forward to hearing aobut the new job I interviewed for on Thursday, even if I did fuck up the interview, I think I did good. called her back on Friday when I realized that I had totally misunderstood her question. not sure if that was a good thing or not. I hate when people are non-comittal in their tone of voice. I want to know NOW!!! Skipped the gym today, but going to practice in a bit. hope I can make it through that. think I am coming down with something. haven't felt good for the past week or so. had a good night's sleep last ngiht for the first time in a while. and I am not playing in this weekend's game. hope I can make myself better by taking a weekend off. going to go see a play and just relax around the house. that's all for now. nothing exciting rambling through my head right now. other than the fact that I am still horny.

Ok, didn't write on Friday because I was (KAUGH, KAUGH) "SICK" of work. I left at 11and spent a relaxing afternoon having lunch with Rob, and then jsut mindlessly chatting with friends old and new on AOL. it was a good afternoon. Saturday the Renegades went up to State College, PA to play against the Happy Valley Barbarians. We now know why they are happy. they tramppled us to death on that field. My shoulder and knees are feeling it even now...and that is after two days and numerous hot showers and sauna rooms. we had four of the Manchester guys play on the team with us. Ian looks great in Kit. anyway, I worked my ass off, and at one point was chasing a guy in the try zone jsut trying to make sure he didn't score in the center...it didn't work. the Ref was also hunky...about 5' 7", brown hair, steel blues eyes (that I jsut melted into at one point before the game), and a great tight bod. went to Dinner last night with Andre. he is so sweet. we went to this steak house that is as close to Brazilian as you can get in the DC area...my first time with it...actually liked it...had a good dinner, good conversation, and these great drinks that are made from Lime Juice, sugar, and a sugar cane Liquor...quite strong, and we both were feeling it a bit after two. went back to Andre's and chatted a bit while he sobered up. supposed to get together again in a few weeks. today, work SUCKS!!! one of the guys has pissed me off all day. he just doesn't listen to what I say and I hate repeating myself more than once. I have snapped at him 3 times today, by 2 PM. it is going to be a long day. well, that is about it. I am way horny right now. not that you need to know that, but thought I woudl share anyway. I think it started Saturday with all those Penn State and Navy Academy Ruggers that played before our game that we hung out with at the 3rd half...just too much testosterone in one room...and I am sure some of them are gay too. it definately had me and Jimbo going. then last night with Andre, I just could eat him up, but don't want to fuck up a friendship...such is my life.

sorry it has been a while, but I have been so bored here at work that I haven't bothered doing much of anything other than getting ready for the interview I have tonight.
pulling together my portfolio, redoing my resume, all the little stuff. the butterflies are really hitting my stomach. this always happens. I hate itnerviews, always feel that I mess them up. well, this won't hurt me right? I mean it is only a meeting to see if this company I woudl love to work for will hire me and get me out of this dull hell I am in now. we have boys from Manchester, England coming in today. one has been here since sunday (Ian). very nice! beefy and delicious, wish I had the opportuninty to get with him, but he has been locked to one of the guys on the team since sunday, so I stay away. better that way. don't want to cause touble on the team, we have enough drama as it is. that is why I stay away from Andre even though I would love to get with him. he is so sweet and nice, and of course HUNKY!
can't wait to see what the rest of these guys look like. temptation will be very strong if they look like Ian. later.
