i was cleaning up my emails and came across this:

enjoying chaos, they shout
passing through the night
those black riders of the storm
caught in a whirlwind of magnficient doom
spreading the flames of butterfly wings

here's the weird part - I don't know if I wrote it or not, it might have been something I saw that I thought was cool or it might be something I wrote - it sounds like something I'd write, has anyone seen this before?

why doesn't my QuickBooks 2004 work with my new server? huh? anyone else have this problem? anyone know how to fix it? Oh, it would help if I told you the problem probably - everytime I tried to open it, it says I have restricted rights and need to be given standard user rights - here's the bizarre thing - I'm a Domain Admin - I have full rights to the network and have added myself to the power users group, to the local administrator group and it still doesn't like me. I've deinstalled and reinstalled the program twice. I know that this program works with SBS2003 because two of my clients have the same version of QuickBooks 2004 Why doesn't it like me? Apparently QB2004 is a legacy program and there's a workaround for legacy programs which I found on Microsoft's website which is to use the "Run As" right click feature and run as the admin on the local computer - it works, I'm good although I am curious why the Admin and the Administrator on the local computer are two different users and why even though I have both of the users in the administrator and power user groups + the domain admin and my user on the domain in the power users group, QB2004 is still not happy and QB doesn't have a clue either, I've already called.

and how come my database program won't work with my new server - everything I need to work on doesn't work - its so time for bed. Tommorrow is another day and I will troubleshoot the problem then.    I figured it out with tigger - apparently the admin and the administrator are two different users on my local machine, so I put the admin in the power users group and the administrator group on my local machine and tigger is back in action except I need to attached the databases.

and what is with all the spam email I'm getting with this blog? Doesn't Radio or Userland or someone filter this crap out? Hoodia is definetly spam. Hair Products, Scorpion By Travel - its all spam - does anyone work at Radio anymore?

The third date with Its Just Lunch setup - OMG, these people do not get me at all!!!!!! I think I'm actually paying about 200.00 per date to find great new places to eat rather than finding someone that I might be somewhat interested in having a conversation with let alone see again. And maybe I'm paying that much to constantly have to tell the people that work there where/how far cities are from one another in the Bay Area?

Today I walked into the restaurant and saw this guy sitting at the bar and I just knew it was him - do you ever wish you could just walk back out and pretend you didn't see him? I wanted to, honestly, I prayed that they wouldn't lead me over to him but of course they did. He looked like Vince Neil - no, not the cute Vince Neil of the 80s, the old Vince Neil now. The reason this guy has a baby face is not because he looks younger but because he's a little overweight and I'm not saying that I'm not but I also don't look my age and I don't sweat.  And he doesn't want kids. He's not a music composer as I was told, he sells musical instruments and teaches guitar to kids.  And oh, his hair didn't move - what is it with guys in their 40s that use hairspray?

Oh and this was the guy that they said was perfect for me. Who are they kidding - I don't think at this point the match maker has a clue.

Lets see to sum this up:

Booger Boy - he tried to sell the fact that he makes lots and lots of money and has a messed up cat with issues

Immature Boy - who likes to shoot cats with guns, gets up at 6am to watch sports and doesn't work

Old Vince Neil look alike - doesn't want kids, is way too old for me, hairspray and just not anyone I would normally walk up to and want to meet.

I think I might have better luck just walking down the street at this point or going back and dating the 20-30 age group again. As soon as this is over and I've gotten my 6 dates over with, I'm writing the corporate office.
