Here I am at 2:30am still working on my portfolio. I have clearly made too much stuff! I am listening to Keane which just keeps reminding me how much I have to spend more time with (e:terry) and (e:matthew) .

KEANE LYRICS

Somewhere Only We Know

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

[break]

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

So if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

I injured my mousing wrist washing the freakin' dishes during the busiest time of my life.

There is a new dynamically generated poem called "tell me why." You can find it along with the other dynamically generated poems under the epoetry link in the search box.



I also changed which words were keywords the the searches.

I was trying to finish up my portfolio and was estimating how long I worked on this site and related projects (e.g. the restaurant site, alamedalink, epeers grading module, advertising stuff, graphic design, dealing wth irrate peeps and social drama, etc) and it is insane. I figure I worked about 5 hours per day over 3 years. Some days I work 18 hours a day, sometime only 1 but I don't think any day ever goes by when I don't do any work. Even when I'm on vacation , (e:twisted) can vouch for this (easter drama.) For god's sake ever since I got the sidekick I have been working on it even when I am driving! or in the bathroom, shopping, out at friends, etc.

So if I go with 5 hours per day for 3 years that brings me to 5475 hours which is about 0.66 hours per journal. I will never forget how much effort I put into this project. So when people ask "How do you knwo how to do that?" or "How do you know so much stuff about web programming?", it is not because I am gifted with natural XML/PHP/Javascript/graphic design skills - it is through thousands of hours of work.

Someone at the old 567 Lafayette stole my UPS package. I seriously can't believe that the UPS policy is to just give it to whoever signs for it. I mean why even have the name signature part. Last week I ordered a new router and it accidently got sent to our old address. I figured it would have gotten returned as we don't live there anymore. But then I looked online at amazon.com and it turns out it was delivered last wednesday to one of the apartments at our old building. I could understand if the UPS man had just left it at the door but that is not what happend. Someone actually signed for it using their real name. I called the landlord and in fact someone named newton now lives in the building. This was march 30th. They don't even live on the same side of the building as our old apartment!

They have clearly stolen the package at this point because they have not contacted UPS. Let's say for example, a husband or wife or roomate thought it was for another person in their household and legitmately signed for it. But here we are over a week later and they haven't contacted UPS or amazon.com about this. I called UPS today and asked them why on earth they would let someone else, with a name other than mine, sign for it. They said they couldn't speak for the driver.

Unfortunately for them I know where they live and now we are going to have to deal with this tonight face to face. Why would someone try to steal a package from something so tracked as UPS. I want my router mr/ms newton.

How are they going to explain why they stole it. I can't even imagine how uncomfortable this will end up being. I wish that (e:terry) was here but he is still in Las Vegas. The other option is to let UPS or amazon deal with it.
