My new favorite soundtrack.
At the risk of sounding like a complete geek:
I've been engrossed in the TV series Battlestar Galactica for the past couple of months. The 4th season is starting in Jan/Feb of 2008, and I only have 8 episodes left in season 3. The show is awesome...I never, ever thought I would enjoy it this much. I normally do not watch Star Trek type space shows, but I gave this one a chance and it grabbed on to me immediately.
I started the first four episodes back in January of this year, but didn't continue with it until sometime in November. I highly recommend the show to anyone who likes watching a television. It is great in so many ways, especially because it is more than just sci-fi. It is action, adventure, romance, and mostly straight up drama. One of the best aspects of the show is the soundtrack, which has won awards for just how good it really is. If you ever get a chance to listen to it, keep in mind the composer is in his mid twenties!
Since I was listening to this at work, and wanted to share, I thought I would add the LAST.FM add-on to show people what I was currently listening to while at work. 99-100% of you could probably care less. But it's my website and I'll do what I want. :)

Is this thing on?
Haven't blogged in a while. It has been almost 6 months, and I think I've gotten about half of my list completed.
Let's see...
Make a website. Finish the bathroom. Clean my room.Clean my closet. Rearrange the closet. Clean out the garage. Paint some walls. Clean the pool. Replace the pool light. Sell my car. Pay off a loan. Pay down other debt. Pay bills. Finish huge mural paper thing for my wall. Get new computer desk. Finish baseboards in room and hallway. Replace pipe on new sink.
I've cleaned my room a few times, but it has always returned to "messy" by the following weekend. That one will never be crossed of the list. Probably the same with the garage. "Make a website" was supposed to be for some extra cash, but I couldn't meet the time constraints, so that one will probably not happen either. FINALLY SOLD THE CAR. So, "pay off a loan" will happen soon. Probably in the next two months. Paying off the other debt will hopefully be a short time away, as well. Yeah, I know...I need to get those baseboards done. No excuse for that one.
Shoulder injury. Older sister's health. Mysterious females. Lack of time at the gym. Not waking up in the morning on time. Hitting snooze 5 times. Need to lose some lbs. Thank goodness none of these are a problem at the moment. My shoulder is much better, and Melissa (my sister) seems to be doing better as well.
The stomach issue I got in Mexico, on the other hand...

[lack of] Motivation
I've been in a slump lately. I won't call it a "funk" because that is what I do when I get on the dance floor. (that was a joke)
I guess I am just overwhelmed with things right now. This is going to sound like I'm a whiner or complainer, but you are the one that typed joelschutz.com, so put up with it or click here.
I have so many things going on, things on my mind, and things that need to just "get done". I have good intentions to do these things, but I can't get myself into finishing any of them in a timely manner. The sad thing, is that I don't know if I have always been like this or if it is a recent thing. Either way, it has never been this bad.

The level of importance of those things varies greatly, of course. But, the first and last on the list are the most important "immediate" needs. The sad thing though, is the first thing is "overdue" and I've gotten a ZERO grade on it. Yes, "due" today. No, I am not in school. That one frustrated me so much, that I was awake for 1.5 hours longer than I have been on a weekday in a LONG time. I dreamt about it. I got advice on finishing it in my dream from a completely non-technical person that I am not friends with, and have not even seen since high school.
There are many other things which I should probably add to that list. But I am too busy to think of what else there is at the moment. Maybe it is because I am too busy thinking about everything. I didn't even mention the "emotional" things on my mind.

I didn't add "find a girlfriend" because really, what normal girl wants the baggage I have right now?
I need to do things one at a time. Finish them in steps. If I take too many steps at a time, I fall. If I keep falling, I will never make it to the top of the stairs. I want to get to the top quickly, but if I don't slow down and do each step one at a time, I will never get there.

Here is a picture of me and the family on Christmas day:
I hope everyone has a good New Year's Eve--whatever that may entail.

One of the weirdest dreams I've ever had
I was standing with my parents in their front yard, and we were watching my niece Shelby (Lindsay's daughter) do something funny, as usual. I think maybe my older sister Melissa was there too.
Shelby said, "Daddy". I was confused and noticed she was looking kind of toward *my* dad. So, I look at my dad, and just to the right of him, off in the distance I see a parachuter (?).
Just as I see him, I notice that his parachute is having major problems, and I urge the rest of my family to look up and see the craziness. Interestingly, all I can think of is that Shelby maybe was referring to the parachuter as "Daddy". So, I shake my head at THAT as I am watching this dude basically fall to his death. (now that I am awake, it is kind of funny how I made a connection with that, because Shelby's dad was in the military. For like a month. And it was the Coast Guard. And do they even jump out of planes? Oh, and he is a complete loser. He sucks at life.)
Anyways, it gets weirder. It gets windy for a moment, and the parachute guy is getting caught up in these gusts, and it starts to get tense. I mean, this guy is moving.
Well, what do you know...he LANDS IN MY PARENTS YARD. On my coffee table. Yes, the one currently in my living room. We are of course, freaking out. Shelby seems to be gone at this point, which is good, because she has seen her fair share of traumatic things in her life. Like her paternal grandmother's hair.
I rush into the house to call 911. The woman that answers has an Indian accent. Is San Antonio outsourcing now? I told her, just as anyone else would have told her, "A parachute guy just landed. IN THE YARD. HERE." She starts to say something else, and I look out the window and see random body parts in the yard. My mom has come inside the house and is doing dishes (things keep getting weirder), and I ask her why there appears to be random body parts--in addition to the fallen parachutist. She said, actually "mouthed", so as not to interrupt my call, "I'll tell you when you get off the phone." Huh?
So, I tell the lady that there are body parts too, and ask if there is anything we should do for the parachuter until the ambulance arrives? She said, "Yes you can hang him up next to the chainsaw." I go, "What??" And she starts laughing. Even stranger, I say, "Oh, haha, I am not used to you people having a sense of humor." (In my dream, I meant "you people" as in 911 operators, not "you people" as in... uh, nevermind.)
Then I wake up.
