James' Ramblings

Well, we're nearing the end of June. Lots of stuff happen at that time. Rent is due, bills are coming, and most importantly, it's only 6 more weeks until the gang at camp come back to good, fun Fort Collins. I miss them, especially Laura. Now that the kids are coming every week, I hardly have a chance to talk to her. On the weekends I see her though, which is good. The past week I saw The Bourne Identity...I don't know if I said that already, but yeah, it was good. What was even better was Minority Report. Awesome. Tom Cruise was good as ever. I was at their site last night and was at the precrime site doing games/puzzles and stuff. Anyway, I'm hoping to switch my ridiculously expensive insurance from the one I have now at $938 for 6 months, to Geico (yes, the fricken lizard) at $650 or so for 6 months. That's almost a $300 savings. That's always good. Having a credit card is a bad idea. lol. I swore to use it for emergencies, but yeah, it's already piling up. Thank god I have a job and am getting paid in 2 days. I'll just pay that off quickly. I bought some stamps yesterday. I can't believe they're raising the price to $.37. Why are they doing that? It's stupid. But I guess they need the money huh? 1 million people buying a book of stamps at $.34 would yield $340K. With a $.3 increase that becomes $370K. I don't know the annual stamp buying statistics (though I should), but 3 cents would come to a lot more money in the whole scheme of things I guess. Fricken government. That was a useless rant. I took the day off today. Also, I sent Laura a bouquet of flowers to camp yesterday! It got there supposedly at 2:21pm, which was too late for her to get it yesterday, so she'll get it today while she's having lunch and HOPEFULLY, she'll be embarassed when she gets it today. Just a dozen pink roses, which she loves, but yeah, I thought it would be nice. Plus, there was a good deal. Hehe. Looks like it's going to be damn hot again today too. I don't know. I just hate Summer. Summer vacation may be the worst thing in the world. There's never nothing to do even though earlier in the year you and your friends talk amongst each other about going to road trips and stuff. Usually never happens, but hey, it's good to chat. My motorcycle project is coming along smoothly. I recruited the help of a fellow co-worker that has a bike and I'm getting advice from him. So far the only things I'm sure about are the following: the bike will be 600cc or lower, insurance won't be over $150/year, and it's either going to be a Yamaha or Kawasaki. I can't wait. I found a nice looking bike here in Fort Collins, but I can't get it dammit. I have no money. I don't want to go get a loan now. That would be stupid. I'll just have to wait. I have, in the meantime, downloaded some mpegs of bikes. Damn. They're awesome. Well, before I babble on to my death, I'll be going now. I have to get ready ya know?...to do nothing that is. I'll be back soon...er or later.
