  Yet another entry just for the sake of typing something...
  
  Not much going on at the moment. I lost a few years off of my life last week when the server for my development website went belly-up. Thankfully the hardworking fellas I host with were able to move my data to a fresh server. But having been so busy developing the site and not backing things up at milestones I was super stressing for a couple days fearing the worst. Seriously, my left temple was throbbing and my eyelid kept twitching and I even started to break out. I mean c'mon, I haven't really had zits in ten years. LOL
  
  I took a couple days off work this week to just mellow out a bit. No more twitching and my face is clearing up so things are looking good. Haha. I was all set to work on the site some more this evening when a co-worker called me up and asked if I wanted to go chill at the hookah lounge. I'd never been to the one here in Arlington and I was definitely up for getting out of the house for a few so he came and picked me up. When we got there the inside was closed so we had to sit on the patio which was motherhuge. This wasn't an appealing idea since it's freaking hot here but tonight it was very pleasant and the stars were out. So for the purposes of stress relief it was probably better than sitting inside. The service was shitty but the hookah was hitting good and the mango iced tea I got was probably the best tea I've ever tasted. A group of Middle Eastern women came in and sat at the table next to us. Now, I may ruffle some feathers here but I've never really found many Middle Eastern woman all that attractive. Yet as the table kept filling up very few faces there were hard to look at and two of the girls were definitely in the drop-dead gorgeous category. Wow...perception forever altered. Heh.
  
  In other news I signed up for a dating site. I guess my reasons were two-fold. First off as a web site owner I kept hearing about this site and how the the owner to this day only maintains a skeleton crew for staff and the site was running on one server even up to million members in. This is super impressive so I had to check it out. And of course there is also the .01 percent chance I may meet someone. I was actually surprised that there were a shit ton of women from the local area on there...even Asian girls which I'm particularly fond of. Of course when I narrow it down to Asian women I might hit it off with and even further to ones that might be into me. Well, let's just say there's little hope for me. LOL. The rather disturbing part is you can see who views your profile.  In a week since joining many, many girls have viewed my page. About 90% of them seem to be battling weight or age and losing the fight. One cutie viewed but she comes across as a party girl just out to meet guys and have fun and a couple of cute Asian girls popped by but I recognize both from viewing their profile so I can chalk their views up to mere curiosity on their part to find out who was checking them out. Finally today I got my first email. The girl is...well, I'll just say I don't find her even remotely attractive. Unfortunately the site also let's you know when someone has read your email. So this girl has put herself out there asking me to meet her, she knows I've read her request....and basically I'm left with three options. 1 - I can ignore it. 2 - I can politely decline. or 3 - I can accept her invitation. Obviously option 3 is a no-go for me. I've done the mercy date thing already and don't plan to revisit that. I feel like an ass if I ignore the email but I also feel like an ass emailing her and saying I'm not interested. So suddenly I'm thinking signing up for this was a bad idea. I guess I'm not cut out for this sorta thing. I don't feel like I'm anyone special to be rejecting anyone but I don't feel like I should play around for the sake of it either. Maybe I just think too much. I dunno.
  
  Anyway, that's about all going on with me. I was planning to put a couple hours into working on the site tonight but I'm beat so I'll probably just turn in. Nite all!
