Been a busy week already and it's only 3am Tuesday morning! Fine with me, got the main comptuer back up and kickin' with a bitchin' new processer and all new components... really worth the wait because I can waste 5x the amount of time in the same amount of time! Does that make sense? I don't know... it's 3am, I start to go out of making sense mode around 2am (yes, you're saying to yourself "Jiggy's Drunk again," but alas, he's not! Now I'm talking in third person... horrible.
Anyhow, keep it kickin' kids, and I'll try to keep this blog bloggin' a little more... oh ya, we're looking at this house to rent:
http://www.windermere.com/index.cfm?FUSEACTION=listing%2ElistingDetail&LISTINGID=5955775
Looks pretty bitchin', see if we can't score it tomorrow when we go out and meet the realty lady and take a look at the remodeled place. See what happens!!

Going through the pics at the Island this weekend... I think this one sums it up pretty well:
Boat at Sunset
Ya, pertty nice. I think Joe took this one because he's not on the boat with us. I made this pic for a dual-screen setup... so that's why its aspect is so wide.
Late!

Triggered to update my livejournal by Laura, I decided to do my usual "post whenever I feel like it" post. Here it is. Exciting isn't it? You're reading about someone else's life when you could be out having one of your own... but I can't talk I do the same thing. haha.
Anyhow, being Memorial Day today, just got back from the island and am quite out of it... it was around 90 for the first two days which was such a drain while being outside most all of the time... and I didn't get *too* burnt... so that was good... got to see a helicopter land on the island after some dumbass OD'd on something... gotta love the island!!! Anyhow, not much else going on... I mean, my "livejournal" I've had since 2000... aka Gimpcity... gets updated daily unless the server I have is messing up like it is right now... bastards... back to work I go... later kids!

Ya, it's been a while since I have updated this bitch. Amazing but true. Tell ya the truth I really only made it for the trip to Europe so you gimps could keep updated on our drunken debauchery and wild adventures we were having on a daily basis. Man was that fun. If you have the availability to go on a trip like that this summer and the funds so you don't get stuck in the Czech Republic with 3 cents American and a bag of clothes... eek that'd suck. You'd have to work at one of the "gentleman's clubs" to make yourself some money for a ticket out... and that'd take a while in that country! Anyhow... I still have the half of the trip after leaving the Heavenly Ibiza to make a movie, so I guarantee I'll get to that eventually... being super busy all the time doesn't help me with that... but it'll happen, oh yes.
Also, wanted to make a price breakdown page on some rough numbers of the whole trip's expenses so you can see what you can do with your budget. Ya I'll get that up when I get the new movie up... hehhe...
So anyhow, things are moving along for me... been busy taking care of my company, www.gc-multimedia.com which takes up the majority of my working time... otherwise it's working at Automated Networking or doing corporate DVD promos for companies. Needless to say, I can't say I don't have anything to do. And oh ya, keep up Gimpcity.com so that you kids don't email a bitch-a-thon at me when I don't update for two days. Oh yes, it happens.
Speaking of Gimpcity, I was takin' a look at the statistics for how much traffic Gimpcity gets, and it keeps overwhelming me. I don't advertise the site, I don't really promote the site out in the open (unless you see a sticker at a drive thru window), and I don't use myself as a super self promoting machine for it... however, the amount of people coming to the site is averaging around 30,000 a day... yes 30,000 hits a day coming to Gimpcity. I had to kill the expensive stat program I was paying for because you get charged by hits... and it went up... would have been super expensive... screw that I get free stats! Granted they're crappy, but it comes with the plan I have for the site.
Anyhow, I better get some well needed sleep so I can fun*k*tshion correctly tomorrow... always good to be able to do that.
Check ya later kids ;-)

Ya, it's almost that day of the year when kids around the world are so happy in the morning... and parents have to drive them to the gas station that is the only place open to buy the kids batteries because they forgot all about those. I remember those days. Why didn't they get the batteries beforehand? Did they think that the kid wouldn't want to play with his or her new toy as soon as it was out of the box? "Of course not!" They said. They'll definitely want to put it neatly in their room and wait until the day after Christmas to play with it. Yes, that's what little Jimmy wants to do with his new *insert annoying battery-operated toy here.* Good planning there parent. Now you have to go out and buy marked-up-to-hell-and-back worthless batteries at the local gas and go. Oh well. I think if that day ever comes to me I'll have so many batteries in the house that it could power the house for a few minutes if I hooked them all together (unless they have that spiffy wireless power by then).
Anyhow, so yes... Christmas. The holiday were basically everyone is out of work, except for those poor few that keep everything in this country going... like the power and cable. Hope everyone has a fun one... even if you are one of those people who are working on Christmas... hopefully you're getting paid well for it.
Everything's just bliss in Jiggy-land... or so that I know... I mean, there might be a meteor headed at me right now... but I have the slightest of knowledge so that's ok!
One accomplishment that I can't believe this year is that Gimpcity.com that I started is going to be 4 years old come January 1st. I started the site in 2001, and now it's grown to getting over 30,000 hits a day and a guy just wrote me for permission to cite the site in a book that he's writing about how satirical America is. I'll have to get a copy of that. Ya... it'd be nice just to advertise and live off of Gimpcity... but I do it for the fun of it and to keep up on the technology that's letting you read this right now. Ah, programming... so fun! hahah
So Merry Christmas, and have some fun with all the family that's most likely already at your house.... hahahhhahaha

Wow... well, what a four day weekend. I had fun, did you? Started it out with Scott and Chad down at Fadó in Pioneer Square downtown Wednesday before turkey day which was great becuase it was their anniversary party and there was free Guinness at midnight and fun for all... it was great... and I drove down there along with everyone else (screw carpooling) so limited the berr-id-ness to minimal but still fun... and managed to get some quality Dick's before they closed at 2am. Gotta love Dick's after a night out ;-)
Thursday... Family day... got to hang out with and pick up the grandparents and assocuated friends... lots of food, and once agian, not too much to drink as I had to drive the grandparents back home after the shin-dig... so once again jiggy was sober. Fine with me, becauase I had plenty of fun Friday and Saturday night. Ended up going out to 13 Coins (if you have never been there and you live in Seattle... you suck)... but was driving again so minimal on the drinking. Saturday was fun... went shopping then out with the guys to Pioneer Square... and FORGOT MY PHONE AT HOME.
Devistated.
Yes, I'm a geek.
I was the driver. Minimal on the drinks. Fine, that's ok... Alcoholics go to meetings.
Sunday. Seahawks suck. Who didn't know that though. Back to work...
I miss work... I haven't taken this much of a break since Europe ;-)

Anyone who's anyone knows that Mr. Jiggy Tiggy hosts a great little shin-dig for his most close of friends on New Year's Eve. This will most likley be the last year that I do it... as I'm sure I'll be out of the house as of next year... so this year's going to be a blast. Just give me a call or post up here and I can get you more info on the festivities. Other than that, I'm out for the night to hit up Seattle! Late!

Was a great weeekend, but I didn't get over to WSU because I drove about half way there and was way too tired so I decided to take a "quick nap..." which became about a three hour nap... oops... so I said screw it and drove back to eburg and slept. Oh well... the previous night was hella fun... aka kevin turns 24 night... but I think I won't be drinking for a while after Friday night... why must friends love to see birthday people drink way too much! I mean, you can't turn down a free drink... or two... or thirteen... ya know! I do the same thing though so I can't talk.
Back to the west side today and back to work... quick week this week, tday coming. Yay. Food. I most likely will be driving around the grandparents and programming the day away. Should be fun times.
Until next time: Damn Cougers.

This journal was really only meant for the Europe trip... which it was great for... and I haven't really updated since. Halloween weekend was great. Freaknight was awesome (as usual) and so was Walker's downtown rave party on Saturday night. However, I ended up going to Ellensburg on Halloween night and evidently the partying was already over becuause everyone did their partying Saturday night... so myself and Foilmand ended up staying at the Reverend Jay's downstairs place in Ellensburg without even using a costume. Kind of lame Halloween, but the previous two nights were "off the hook" in accordance to what I would think parties are like (especially the open free bar on Saturday night even though I was driving). It was fun.
Now it's Apple Cup Weekend, and for anyone who lives in Washington State knows... it's a crazy college rivelry weekend where UW goes up against WASZZU for their crazy football game. I'm a Central guy, so I'm in the middle of it and don't really give a crap who wins... I'll be there to see the people I haven't seen for a few years because I havent' ventured out to WAZZU fo the last few years (ya, they have been bugging me about it for the last few years). Should be some fun times I think.
Otherwise, after I get back to "real life" after the weekend, it'll be back to normal and work work work... but I have a 20" flat panel to work with day to day now.... so that's definitely very nice and very kind to the eyes... always good...
Ok, so I'll get going for now... but thought an update was good for my journal which has suffered since the Europe trip!!

This weekend's going to be great... I finished up everything that I needed to get done for work and such already for the week, and the party starts tomorrow when I go to Ellensburg and watch episode 5.3 of Ellensburg Extreme be taped! The guys are doing great taking over the show... and the best of luck to them all... it's a lot of hard work... so ya, Freaknight (www.uscevents.com) on Friday night with all the "raver" kids I know who will be there.... sleep on Saturday (sleep... good), then another rave that Walker's DJ friend is spinning at Saturday night... so that should be glorious fun and joy for all.... then.... it's Sunday... Halloween! My fav holiday of the year! Why is it my fav holiday? Because everyone gets to express themselves and act a little crazy in unison for one night of the year all together.... too bad it's on a Sunday this year though... always kills things when holidays are on Sundays (like when New Year's Eve is Sunday or in the middle of the week), but I'm sure it will be fun. I really don't have any plans for Halloween as of yet... not really even a costume! Only red and black cat eye contacts... I guess that's pretty eerie, but not too outlandish. I need like a cape and some horns or something... time to find out what's 75% off at Fred Meyer on Sunday for my outfit! Hahah.... but what will I go out and do on Halloween? Not sure... I have the previous two days planned, but nothing for Halloween... which is strange because I ususally have something planned weeks in advance. I think I'll just play it by ear and see what happens this year! Anything I end up doing I'm sure will kick a** anyhow... always does... (inside thing: Tequila Bob's... ya, not this year... probably never again... but those days were fun). Anyhow, I'm just psyched that I've got this time off and am pretty sure I'm going to have a fun time with friends and get some sleep... much needed sleep... been working on commercial spots this week and last... along with all the computer consulting... been crazy days and nights but I love it...
So... Halloween?!? Bring it on 2004... make it a good Halloween!!!!

Long time.... long time... since I have updated this bi-atch... but been busy with the computer and video field. Got to shoot a commercial for a spa place in Bellevue on saturday... that was fun and rewarding... and have a "photo shoot" where I get to take pictures of a commercial shoot (professional above me) all day.... I don't mind the "I make a lot of money for the time I spend doing things I like doing" jobs... haha... anyhow... things are good, I really haven't even started looking for a "job" of sorts, all of my computer and video stuff I have on the side (aka my own business) have been funding me pretty well... and I've been having some fun in the process... so when things slow down I might think of looking for a 9-5 which would actually make me enough money to purchase... well... anything! And pay off all my college debt! haha... if you haven't went to college, you don't have that debt... lucky you! Anyhow, I'm sitting at a computer store right now waiting while they fix something that they botched up for me that I was pulling my hair out on... they better fix it or I'll go on a killing spree at the local ant hill... well, ok.. I won't... but I might metaphorically.... check ya later!

Been very eventful this week... so much work work work... but that's FINE! Because I have to pay for Europe and everything else... damn it, the Eurogimp trip is already over... 53 days... over... oh well, next time (there will be a next time ... maybe not 53 days of a next time) will be fun as well, we know where to go and where to party...
Now to find a real job! Not as if my little jobs aren't OK... but I need something in my field, so I'm going to start working on my demo reel and such and entice the shit out of employers and make them fight over me. Ha. Right. Maybe I'm worth something in the biz.
Speaking of the biz, eXtreme will be starting up officially October 16th... and the documentary will be running in eXtreme's place starting this week until the first show... so for those of you still in eburg, check out the full documentary of the show... gives you a real feel of how things really work, and what people really think about working with, for, and about the show.
If you're not in eburg, it's on the website... of course... because I'm a geek and put everything up on the web... !!! Oh ya!

Back to work is the key thing that I'm back to doing now... much computer work to be done since I've been gone all summer... which is fine with me, because it gives me some $$ to pay bills while I look for a more full-time job... not like I dislike doing random computer jobs and managing servers, but doing it full time 24/7 for just one company would be much less stressful (like I mind being stressed).
Updating from work right now while updating Windows XP fixes that arrived while I was gone... I tell you, Microsoft keeps more people like me in business than any other company... if I worked on Linux boxes, I don't think I'd have as much work as I do now! Ha! I'm a geek... anyhow, like I say, I still have options to work with some people who want to make a video/web site... peaking my attention, and now I have a interest at T-Mobile and Microsoft... so who knows, we'll see.
I should have the next movie up soon, along with the rest of the pictures - which will most likely be tonight. I get to build 2 computers just tonight.. fun stuff! Well, I like it... oh ya, and two laptops... people really like braking things. I like it when they break things!!

Vacation's over... in about 5 hours... will be back home and 24/7 work starts again, and life changes forever, I've been used to school starting this time of year for the last 18 years, since Kindergarden. However, now, there's no more school. There's no more worrying about when my first class is and where it's at. There's no more worrying about getting all of my textbooks and things in order to make sure the TV show and school goes well. Never again. Unless of course I decide to go back and get my masters after a year or two... I guess I'll see what happens here in the coming months... Not really sure.
However, I do know that it's time to start getting some of the debt I've incurred in these years of school off and getting my life going where I have always wanted it to go: a great job and and "that jazz." It's a big change, just like when everyone got their license: major life change... you could then go where you want when you want. Of course, I say that because I grew up in the country, no real public transportation and 25 miles to the nearest real shopping center. Anyhow... tine for work, I think it'll be great, but I'm not sure where it will lead me. I have many options, and I'm not sure which option I really want to follow, but video is really calling my name; as I've gotten really good at it. However, I'm already making good money right now in the computer world, and have a job offer that has been sitting on the table since last year around this time for it. This is my dilemma... but I'm sure time will help me figure it out.
In the meantime, I am just anxious to get things things back to order here at home, not where the money looks like Monopoly money, and the people speak OUR English... not that yiddish crap over in England.
So, I'll get the updates to the Eurogimp up most likely tomorrow and Gimpcity will be back up in all it's glory as of September 15th... why the 15th you say? Because it's going to take me a few days to get everything back in order. Check ya later Gimps... oh ya, and here's a poll for ya:

Home... yes home at last... only to go on vacation until the 7th... then it's back to the real world and everything that it encompasses. Should be fun, I'm happy to be back home... back to my truck, back to work, and back to friends I haven't seen for over two months. It's a crazy world out there, and I'm glad I saw it first hand and had the experience of a lifetime. However, don't think that's all for the Eurotrip part of Gimpcity... there will be the final pics and final movie up this week, when I can finally have the time to work on these projects. So, keep checkin' back, and be relieved that the REGULAR Gimpcity.com will reign starting September 15th. Thanks everyone, hope you enjoyed, because I enjoyed putting it all up, and finding the internet access all around Europe to do so.
Also, I think I'm going to put up a final "How much this wonderful vacation would cost YOU" page up, detailing exactly what went into this, and resources that would help you out if you want to backpack Europe the Gimpcity way!!!

More pics are up and I updated the main site with some super hotties! What a great day for web surfers! Anyhow, we're renting the super-cool minivan and hittin' up San Francisco today with the Cali crew and seeing what there is to see (hopefully not too many alternate lifestyle individuals... not that I have anything against them...). I've really never went to San Francisco, even though I've been to Cali over 10 times... it's off the I-5 corridor, so I never really went over there... so it will be something I haven't seen in Cali yet! How cool!
Jay's party was great yesterday, and this morning Jay was feeling how good it was... got woke up by the sound of Jay running to the kitchen sink to... well... uh, clean the dishes, ya, that's right!
It was fun. Only 5 or so more days on this crazy trip... makin' it to Las Vegas for the THIRD time on this same vacation tomorrow morning, I think that's the most consecutively I've been to Las Vegas, but you don't see me arguing!
Off to get some more pics up for the site. Anyone need anything from Vegas? And no, I can't bring back any hookers... sorry... ask Drunky about that...

Well, the trip has now landed us at Jay's house in Fremont down here in Cali... fun stuff, Jay just turned 21 last night and we all went out to one of the local bars to make sure he got his birthday drink. We ended up getting another day on the car rental because we were late to the airport to return it... we were going to leave Nick's parents place at 10, bur for some reason someone was being slow so we were a little late... would have been the same price to return it or just take it another day... so ya, we got another day.
It was fun last night, but Nick had a little too much to drink and he and Chad got in a little brawl outside of the 711 when we were late to the store to get more beer. I was sitting back until they started getting into the little pushing bs... so I had to go in and make sure that didn't continue. I guess 50 or so days makes some just get a little too fiesty. Hopefully that won't continue... Another 6 days lets see if that can stay like that. So, I'll leave it at that.
Anyhow, today is mostly Jay's bday, so I think some relatives are coming over and there will be food for all. It's been so nice down here, sunny every day and around 90... very nice with the top down on the rental car ;-)
Ok, back to working on the site, check it out!

Guess August's the month for that.. and July and September for us! Haha... anyhow, check out the Prague's pictures, they're up now so check it out... I'll get some more up soon.
