Welcome to Wick's Weblog. Here you will find much randomness from food, sports and maybe some technology thrown in there. If you have any ideas you want me to talk about or ask about, just contact me. I'll be glad to do some research.

Music

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Just posting some song lyrics…every so often, I’ll do this because I feel them and what not. This is a major culmination of the songs I’ve been listening to lately. I feel some writing coming…maybe soon, haven’t found the time to let it flow yet, so thats why I’m sharing music. Peace.

Giving credit from where I got these songs…yeah just in case, ya know–
Lonley Day, So Long, Good-Bye, The Past I got from azlyrics.com
I Don’t Care – lyricsmania.com

“Lonley Day” – System of a Down

Such a lonely day
And it’s mine
The most loneliest day of my life

Such a lonely day
Should be banned
It’s a day that I can’t stand

The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life

Such a lonely day
Shouldn’t exist
It’s a day that I’ll never miss
Such a lonely day
And it’s mine
The most loneliest day of my life

And if you go, I wanna go with you
And if you die, I wanna die with you

Take your hand and walk away

The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
Life

Such a lonely day
And it’s mine
It’s a day that I’m glad I survived

“So Long, Good-Bye” – 10 Years

Keep changing your mind.
Like clouds in the sky.
Love me when your high.
Leave me when you cry.
I know it all takes time.
Like a river running dry when the suns to bright.

So long this is good-bye.
May we meet again in another life.
Like strangers passing by.
May we see clearly in a different light.

Keep dodging lights.
Like a thief in the night.
The sun will rise and expose all our lies.
So why deny that you and I lead different lives.
The rivers from your eye’s can’t change my mind.

Oh…
The rivers from your eye’s can’t change my mind.

“The Past” - Sevendust (feat. Chris Daughtry)

Beneath the water
that’s falling from my eyes
lays a soul I’ve left behind
the edge of sorrow was reached but now I’m fine
I’ve filled the hole I had inside

I’ll pray it doesn’t scream my name
so I light a flame and let it breathe
the air that kills the shame

I’m up
I’m down
like a rollercoaster racing through my life
I’ve erased the past again

a risky morning
I feel like I’m alive
I can’t believe I’ve made it through this time
the edge of sorrow I lived in for some time
(lived in for some time)
has left the hole I have inside

The burden is I try my hate
was the last thing I ever felt
or thought I could escape

I’m up
I’m down
like a rollercoaster racing through my life
I’ve erased the past again

You let me in then broke me down
the difference is this time around
I will not let you see me try

I’m up
I’m down
like a rollercoaster racing through my life
I’ve erased the past again

Erased the past again now
Erased the past again

Beneath the water
that has fallen from my eyes

“I Don’t Care” – Apocalyptica feat. Adam Gontier (Three Days Grace)

I try to make it through my life, in my way, there’s you
I try to make it through these lies, that’s all I do

Just don’t deny it
Just don’t deny it and deal with it, yeah
Just deal with it

You try to break me,
You wanna break me…bit by bit,
That’s just part of it

If you were dead or still alive
I don’t care, I don’t care
And all the things you left behind
I don’t care, I don’t care

I try to make you see my side
Always trying to stay in line
But your eyes see right through
That’s all they do

I’m getting tired of this shit
I’ve got no room when it’s like this
What you want of me just deal with it

SO!

If you were dead or still alive
I don’t care, I don’t care
And all the things you left behind
I don’t care, I don’t care

(nothing can care about, nothing can care about)
(you won’t be there for me, you won’t be there for me)

If you were dead or still alive
I don’t care, I don’t care
And all the things you left behind
I don’t care, I don’t care

Protien Shake

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

So I wanted something new to do with my protien drinks. And after talking with some other people on what they put in their drinks. Here is what I have come across just trying stuff out.

a handful of Bear Naked Banana Nut Granola
half a banana
about a tablespoon of natural crunchy peanut butter
about 8-12 oz of skim milk
heaping scoop of your favorite protein (I’m using Optimum Nutrition’s Rocky Road which is good just on its own).

Throw all this in a blender, maybe a few cubes of ice to make it all colder and what not. Its mega good.

Enjoy!

Taking a break

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

So I’m at work today, yeah, and I am just grinding away on some code. New techonologies that I have never used before, maybe this will diversify my professional portfolio. This code I’m looking at is probably the most pure object oriented code I have every seen. Yeah it is efficiently programmed, I wish I had the skills to do stuff like this. Maybe its my time to learn this. I have purchased a book to learn the Spring Framework. Very interesting how these things work. I know that I have never “programmed to interfaces” like I know I should, but when things come up around they must be whipped together and ready to go within matter of days or so. If I actually have time (like I do with this project). Ok, I know this hasn’t really made much sense to common folk that don’t know much about programming, but yeah I’m just rambling.

Ok, i’m out.
