I tend to waste my days off by sleeping in late. I tried to wake up today at 10:30ish after going to sleep at 5AM, but that didn’t work out so well. Ended up waking up at 1something. Oh well.

I slept on the couch downstairs again last night. Man, that thing is comfy. It’s so much better than my bed (which reminds me, I need to get some of that foam stuff that will probably make it better). I like taking two pillows, one for my head and one to hug and falling asleep like that. I don’t know why I like it, but I do, haha. Maybe it’s because I’ve gotten used to couches cause I regularly sleep on the couch instead of a bed when I go home home. shrug Beds are so… boring. ;)

“Open up your box of sunshine
And smile as confetti comes raining down on you
You feel a lot like the good guy, but do you know why
Everything’s so blue” - Jars of Clay

If you see this, OliverWEB.com has successfully transferred to its new server and you are viewing the new OliverWEB powered by WordPress.

Yay! Uhhh… too lazy to find lyrics for this post. Will continue later. =)

There will probably be some things broken… please excuse them for the time being… I’ll have them fixed shortly, hopefully.

Edit: Oh fine, here’re some lyrics.

“I’ve got sunshine,
On a cloudy day.
When it’s cold outside,
I’ve got the month of may.
I guess you’d say,
What can make me feel this way?” - Temptations

Okay, so the new OliverWEB design has been pretty much stagnant for a while and I’m wondering if I should keep it under wraps for another month to play with and possibly tweak and improve more or just go ahead and switch to it a month early (I think this makes up for the year I was late… at least I think I was late one year… ;).

Anyways, if I switched now, I could focus on owiber.com and what I want to do with that a month earlier… if not, I’ll just continue staring at the new design and maybe or maybe not improve upon it. What do you guys think? =)

While we’re on the topic, I’ll show you one of the designs I ended up scrapping:

I decided I wanted something lighter/cleaner. I also made a “messy” version of it, which I didn’t like that much…

I decided to go with a clean design and I think I did pretty well. The new one also uses a color scheme that is quite a bit different from any of my previous designs (yay!). But you can’t see it until I’m done (actually, truth be told, probably a ton of people have seen it in various states already, since I haven’t exactly been working on it behind lock and key… hehe).

Okay, I felt kinda weird taking these (and posting them), haha, but I’ll do it anyways for all of you to admire my hot bod. ;) So at the beach in Florida, Megan and Kathy drew stuff on me with sunscreen and this is how it turned out:

I showed some coworkers the smiley and they laughed and asked if I was asleep when people drew on me, haha… then were kinda skeptical I voluntarily let this happen… =)

“Ugly Day the sun is shining,
Every cloud’s got a silver lining.
Ugly day the skies are blue,
Now every day is ugly without you.” - Five Iron Frenzy

Went running yesterday with Kathy and Olivia, and this time successfully did not lose Olivia, haha. I also got really hungry yesterday for some reason and after eating dinner, I ate a turkey leg, chunks of cheese, an apple and other random stuff. I think this running thing is making my metabolism go crazy… speaking of which, who wants to do the Hairy Man 5k? Haha…

gack I just accidently swallowed my Starburst whole… oh… this is not a pleasant feeling… at all…

My work desk is covered with lots of boxes, wires going everywhere, LCD displays, and development boards. Some coworkers that I make snack runs with made comments on how messy my desk was, so I cleaned it up a bit, haha. It was becoming a problem when getting to my phone was difficult…

The new OliverWEB layout is getting there, but it still seems like it’s missing a little bit… I’m not sure what it is yet. I’ll probably convert it to CSS/HTML soon and play around with it there a bit. Going to use owiber.com as my development location for now since I’m switching over to WordPress too. Hip! Hip! HORAY!

“As I walk this land with broken dreams
I have visions of many things
Love’s happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion,
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that’s now departed?
I know I’ve got to find
Some kind of peace of mind” - Jimmy Ruffin

Haha, all these lyrics read so much sadder than they sound (in the song)…

I know Andrew loves my love for pink. So this change is dedicated to him. =) Don’t worry, entirely new layout (not comprising pink) is due in a month-ish…

“(Ooh love Ooh lover boy)
What ya doin’ tonight, (hey boy)
Set my alarm, turn on my charm
That’s because I’m a good old fashioned lover boy” - Queen

Have a good semester/year, peeps. =)

Was around campus a few times the past week or two and it made me start to miss it a lot. Poo. Maybe it won’t be so bad once everyone I know there has graduated, but I liked walking around campus with the swarms of people everywhere. I think what I miss the most is random campus meets like lunches, late night snacks, and all that stuff. It is nice to never have to worry about homework and tests now though and I have more money, haha…

I’ve got one idea for owiber.com, but I’m not sure if it will conflict too much with OliverWEB… I may not be able to keep both updated concurrently… so we’ll see.

So I’ve been considering running around Town Lake without a shirt so that I don’t get an absurd farmer’s tan… but right now, I currently have a very visible heart on my chest which is making me hesitate a bit… lol.

Edit: Forgot lyrics. =)

“Here’s my story, its sad but true
It’s about a girl that I once knew
She took my love then ran around
With every single guy in town” - Dion

So yesterday I went on an ‘owiber’ registration spree and registered [email protected] and owiber.com. I tried to make an owiber Blogger account, but apparently I already had one, so I just made a post instead. Doing a Google search for owiber reveals a lot of accounts I wasn’t aware or didn’t remember I had, haha…

Now I’m not sure what to do with owiber.com. I could just make it point to OliverWEB as well, but I was thinking something else would be more fun… but what? =)

“Crooked souls trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain well
The shadow proves the sunshine” - Switchfoot

I don’t know if it’s just the weather, the having to go back to work after a great vacation, the missing school-feeling or what, but I felt rather gloomy today. When I run, I set landmarks for myself that I force myself to hit. “Just get to the next bridge” or something more important like “just make it to land, so you don’t drown.” I guess I felt like that today… “just get through the meeting” or “just finish up ___ for ___ and before you know it, you’ll get to go home.”

I really feel like running… in the rain, unfortunately, the rain’s probably over now, eh? Oh well, at least the sun’s heat is somewhat deflected by the clouds… but not the UV rays, kids!

“You had a bad day
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride” - Daniel Powter

lol… posting that makes me feel like a fruity emo kid…

I don’t want to go back to work. More vacation, please. =(

“And if he falls in love tonight,
It can be assumed
His carefree days with us are history.
In short, our pal is doomed.“ - Timon & Pumbaa (The Lion King)
