Update on personal life:

Ok, so my last day on the job at Mercury Insurance Group will be next Wednesday August 31, 2005. I will then be packing up my stuff on Thursday and Friday, then heading out to Greeley, Colorado. I hate looking for a new job, it sucks. I put my info back on dice.com and monster.com, and I started getting calls for jobs around here. I'm like, where were they when I wanted one for the first 6 months I was here.

The California DMV, geesh. They sure are different out here then NY. The only regulation for a car is that it is smog tested, nothing else. Doesn't matter if the muffler or braking light might be bad. So on June, 15, 2006 I order a new registration through the state's online website. It was suppose to come in 2 - 8 weeks. It never came. So I called the DMV, after searching for a couple of hours for the correct phone number. I called at the beginning of August. The man on the phone said he will send one out right away. Well, its 3 weeks later. I just called again, and now I hope that the third time is the charm.

The people out here complain about illegal immigrants, somewhat often. CA DMV can easily get rid half of the problem, by making people surrender their license plate everytime a car changes hands. Its that simple. They would have to go in, show proof of purchase, pays fees, etc... No illegal immigrant would be able to get a license w/o some proof of residency. Oh well, not my problem. Anyway America would become a poorer country if it weren't for today's cheap (illegal) workforce.

I have been exercising still, but haven't lost to much weight. I need to cut down more on my food consumption still. I been getting to many feeding frenzies. I have reached a ceiling on the amount of weight I can lift, but I'm starting to add a different rountine now in my work. I'll say, my shoulders have become really strong. I did some push-ups yesterday and easily did 20, so I know there is some improvement.

My TV habits have been: Comedy's Centralia Daily Show, IFC, and Current. Current is a really awesome TV show. Lots of different views on life and non-mainstream stories. I really recommend the channel.

I started to learn Java. Now I remember why I hated the language in the first place. Took me an hour to figure out how to get console input. I would figure something simple, but nooooo. I have to figure out how to live without pointers also. I started to convert some of my programs and they have pointers. Now I see why pointers are nice to have. It just make life so much easier if you can tranverse through an array via a pointer. Oh well, there is always more then one way to skin a cat.
