travis' brain dump

However stolen that quote is, it’s quite honestly the only way to describe what it’s like here. I guess you could start off with saying this is most definitely what I needed. Today was the first time I have ever not looked at a clock to see what time it was or worried about some sort of schedule or time-frame. It’s as though time itself had been standing still all around me.

This place is amazing. The atmosphere is like no other I have ever encountered. In this little town, life is most definitely not like it is in any other place. The people are amazing here, simply amazing. It’s as though everyone knows and understands their purpose and works together to achieve it together. The company is absolutely amazing here. It’s like being part of one big family and I definitely think a few days just isn’t enough to fully appreciate all there is around me.

While on a walk today I noticed how quiet things were. You could listen to the wind in the trees, children playing and the occasional noise of a 4-wheeler ripping around town. But when those noises came and went, the sounds of silence and the feeling of peace was almost overwhelming.

A wedding reception this evening was absolutely amazing. I watched as the bride and groom were greeted by family members and friends and as those attending gathered together to enjoy and celebrate in this occasion. The music playing, the sound of little children (including my own) running around playing and dancing and the general feeling that everyone around me, related or not – were indeed one huge family. I stood, all amazed.

There is so much more to write, however I find that I want to leave this computer and go submerge myself further into all that is around me. I just wanted to let everyone know that I was okay and that I was having an incredible time. I am so grateful to be here.

So the purpose in coming into work today? Hi, here’s my smiling face before I head out. LOL

I seriously feel as though there is nothing to do. My brain is already in Mexico and totally unfocused on everything else here. ahh… It’s so nice. 🙂

I think I’ve got everything figured out… everything’s packed, got the spare battery for my phone, a spare phone – lol. I just need to head home, do a couple things, take a nap and then get up and get out around 7 or 8. I’m not sure the internet status while I’m down there, however I’ll have my laptop so I dunno.

I may blog once or so from down there, but more than likely so much will be going on I might not get to until I get back. Who knows? hehe

Either way. I’ve lost the ability to blog for now, so I’m out!

See you all on the flip side! 🙂

well, i finally got my hands on a valid image for updating my tmob dash to the latest windows mobile 6 rom.

… wow …

it’s pretty similar to windows mobile 5, however the interface seems a little more user friendly and not so harsh. it’s difficult to explain, but the myFaves interface is way different, really cool looking now. the nicest aspect of it is that it seems to run a bit faster than WM5 did, so i’m pleasantly surprised about that for the moment.  i’ve even scored a copy of office word, excel and power point mobile with this upgrade. can’t beat that! the best news out of all of this… i didn’t “brick” my phone, lol.

i did however nuke my contacts… just glad i’ve got my phonebook backed up at home or i’d be so done for. LOL

tmob customers should be able to get the update for WM6 on the 4th of May (this Friday) from tmobile. now if i can just get the upgrade for the MDA to work I’d have two working WM6 phones. 😉

anyway, time to jet.

So I was poppin around over on Matt and Aaron’s site today (http://www.splu.net) and stumbled across some more Chad Vader humor. They teamed up with the guys who did Mystery Science Theatre 3000 for a little fun and this is what they came up with:
