Coffeebration

I spent a lot of my weekend installing 5 different programs to run a photo gallery on my website. After hating them all I went back and installed the first one that I had. Unfortunately I can’t write programs and create themes to make my site look the way I want it to. I thought that surely there must be something decent out there since online picture albums are pretty popular. I didn’t want stick my pictures on an online sharing thing that is free. I don’t really know why … I just feel I’d rather host them myself. It makes me feel like I’m not giving them away to the world or something I guess. Not that random strangers are going to order prints and make shrines of me in their bathrooms or anything, but hey, it could happen. But I have tons of space to host them myself, so I figured I’d just find a way to do it. I never knew it was going to take so much time and cause so much frustration. Anyways, I’ll post a link when I’m finished. I also didn’t realize it was going to take me so much time to organize my photos on my own computer. I have a lot of pictures, most of them are crap that fit into no category so I’m trying to figure out what to do.

One year ago yesterday I cut my hand and got stitches for the first time. I remember that day. There was a Steelers game on and I was supposed to go to Todd’s house and watch it with him after he was done with work. I think we had gotten into some type of dispute though, I can’t remember. Anyways, I had called him and left him a message that I was going to the ER because I was bleeding to death. I think the game started at 4:00 pm because I was out of the ER around 5:00 and Todd picked me up at my apartment and we went to Morgan’s Diner and watched the second half of the game and ate food. I remember it was a really close game, but we won. I miss Morgan’s Diner.

I watched the Steelers game yesterday and actually got excited about football. I don’t really understand football. I get the concept but I only know the basics: fumble, interception, field goal, touchdown … and I know you have to get the ball somewhere to get a first down, but after that I’m pretty lost. I relied a lot on the facial expressions of the teams to figure out what was going on. I think I’d like to meet Jerome Bettis, he seems like a nice guy. Maybe after he retires this season we can hang out. I need someone to watch football with so I can ask lots of questions so I can understand the game. A few months ago I was watching a Steelers game with my dad and asked him what the coin-toss was for and he looked at me like I was a retard. I know what the coin-toss is for now, no thanks to him. I figured it out. Maybe if I just pay attention to football more often I’ll figure it out on my own. Perhaps I’ll have to go buy a Steelers t-shirt somewhere since this Friday will definitely be Steelers day at work. It was last week but I didn’t have anything so I wore a black sweater and khaki pants. At least I made some type of effort.

I stayed up all night and slept all day today. Doing that isn’t good for my physical or mental health. I feel like a slug and now it is 8pm and I didn’t have any coffee at all today. And now it is too late. Sleep all day + coffee = never ever sleep. And I have to go back to work tomorrow. Maybe I’ll quit my job and join the circus.
