Something More

Monday, hard to wake up
Fill my coffee cup, I’m out the door
Yeah, the freeway’s standing still today
It’s gonna make me late, and thats for sure
I’m running out of gas and out of time
Never gonna make it there by nine

There’s gotta be something more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I’m gonna take my chances
Taking any chance I might
Find what I’m looking for
There’s gotta be something more

Five years and there’s no doubt
That I’m burnt out, I’ve had enough
So now boss man, here’s my two weeks
I’ll make it short and sweet, so listen up
I could work my life away, but why?
I got things to do before die

There’s gotta be something more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I’m gonna take my chances
Taking any chance I might
Find what I’m looking for
There’s gotta be something more

Five years and there’s no doubt
That I’m burnt out, I’ve had enough
So now boss man, here’s my two weeks
I’ll make it short and sweet, so listen up
I could work my life away, but why?
I got things to do before die

Some believe in destiny, and some believe in fate
I believe that happiness is something we create
You best belive that I’m not gonna wait
‘Cause there’s gotta be something more

I get home 7:30 the house is dirty, but it can wait
Yeah, ’cause right now I need some downtime
To drink some red wine and celebrate
Hey, Armageddon could be knocking at my door
But I ain’t gonna answer thats for sure.
There’s gotta be something more!

There’s gotta be something!

There’s gotta be something more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I’m gonna take my chances
Taking any chance I might
Find what I’m looking for
There’s gotta be something more

Five years and there’s no doubt
That I’m burnt out, I’ve had enough
So now boss man, here’s my two weeks
I’ll make it short and sweet, so listen up
I could work my life away, but why?
I got things to do before die

Got to be,
Got to be,
Got to be something more!

Something More—Sugarland

To sleep or not to sleep, that is the question…

Currently in that irksome to active to sleep / to tired to focus another 6+ hours frame of things. Oh how I know it.

It just feels like the everything is moving so damn slow! I like speed. Name any flight sim I’ve played and you can bank on it, that I’ve done a lot of nap of the earth flying at the crafts maximum flank speed. Hmm, think I might reach into the draw and shuffle around for one of my flight sims.

If this phase of moving forward can be stretched on for a factor of years, courtesy of family, just think how many years a positive impact will take o/. I don’t have the patience left. It would be nice to get something done on this rock, while I’m still young enough to piss under my own steam.

Everything depends on a few core invariants, and that’s exactly what I’m being blocked from reaching. Block has a different, more technical notion to programmers, than what it should have to regular people. You can’t build out of thin air any more than you can build without a foundation.

Having to put up with morons in lead overshoes, constantly increases the probability that the rest of my natural life will be effectively equal to the present. Unlike certain fucktards I’m not satisfied with the status quo. Life isn’t meant to be an unchanging constant,

I should be free to get more done than twiddling my damn thumbs for months on end!!!!!

Today I’ve had to get used to living with Subversion again, as much as I simply love git, setting up a repository is easier with svn then git-svn :-S. Aside from the obvious problems that chop up from their different mental models it’s not that bad.

The lights flickering as the thunder blares outside on the other hand, tell me that I should probably *WAIT* to merge this vendor branch into the trunk – and go look up how atomic svn copy src-url … dst-url actually is in terms of network and power failures! If I was using git I would just say screw it and do the merge, because I know already that git doesn’t phone home to the repository, because the working copy is a repository.

Oh well, to the manuals!

While it’s definitely time for bed, I’m in no mood for sleeping. Todays largely been a mixture of ghost recon and getting things sorted for a project. With luck the pace will be ready to accelerate shortly, so at least that will be something to focus on.

For tonight, I guess it’s more L4D2 and clearing out something like 150-600 zombies a map. I’ve been sleeping a bit easier lately, but whether that’s due to how exhausting zombie slaying gets or the first of two major-annoyances on the license matter being done, is debatable.

Slice, dice.

I dozed off and had the most awesome if strange dream. Of course trying to get anything through a certain someone’s thick skull doesn’t work even in dreamland 8=).

Oh well…

Some how I thoght the time was a few hours later than this, how could I ever dream that I ould sleep that long :-S

Somehow after joining Timbo for a game, and compiling a list of links to their map list… I can’t help count how many of these maps I already know :-S

I’m tempted by the idea of a good nights sleep… but instead find myself trying to clear out my mind in L4D2
